Chapter 205

**Mondstadt Square Continued**

Alice looked confused. "What... dad?"

As sharp as she was, she instantly realized that Klee had made a big mistake.

In the past, when Klee asked why she didn't have a father, Alice made up a lie to avoid making Klee sad. She said her father would come back when Klee grew up.

Originally, Alice thought that when Klee grew up, she would naturally understand that there was no father in her life.

As someone who was well acquainted with Alice, Jean certainly knew how Klee was born. After being stunned for a moment, Jean looked carefully at the handsome young man holding Klee.

Although she didn't think the young man wanted to deceive Klee—after all, if he wanted to kidnap Klee, he wouldn't have brought her back to Mondstadt—his failure to correct Klee's mistake immediately made Jean wary of his motives.

Venti felt his heart skipping a beat. Little Klee had actually mistaken the Lord of Heaven for her father.

Although he didn't think Lord Takumi would be angry about this, he had no idea how things would develop from here.

Takumi looked at the confused trio and joked, "Am I really so unpopular that everyone looks so stunned?"

Little Klee blinked her innocent eyes and asked, puzzled, "Yes, I brought Daddy back. Why do Captain Jean and Mom look so strange?"

Venti was sweating profusely. To cover up his negligence and prevent things from going in an unpredictable direction, Venti quickly sent a message to Jean and Alice.

*'Hey, hey, listen to me first.'*

*'The handsome, graceful, supreme, mighty, and authoritative man standing in front of us is none other than the master of our universe—Lord Takumi of Sky Island.'*

*'He is the direct superior of all seven mortal rulers, including every Archon and demon god. With a single word, he could dismiss me, the God of Wind.'*

*'You must not be disrespectful to him, I beg you, especially you, Ms. Alice.'*

Venti knew that everyone's thoughts could not escape the ears of Lord Takumi, so he shamelessly added as many flattering adjectives as he could.

Though others might not know that Lord Takumi could hear their thoughts, perhaps he enjoyed watching their attempts to flatter and impress him.

Jean's heart pounded wildly. Just moments ago, she was about to ask why this stranger had deceived Klee, but now she realized he was none other than *Takumi*!

She had known about the 'World Swallowing Plan' for a while. Now, the world of Teyvat had become a universe with three subordinate worlds, all because of *Lord Takumi.*

The handsome young man standing before her was the supreme being she had imagined countless times. Her heart raced, almost pounding out of her chest.

Alice's reaction was more direct than Jean's. She had personally experienced the transformation of the dark sea into the universe.

When she returned to Mondstadt and learned from the God of Wind about what had happened in the 'Teyvat Universe,' she had been stunned. She had even accidentally spit juice all over Venti's face—although that was partly on purpose.

The important thing was that she couldn't fathom how powerful one had to be to turn a 'World Bubble' into a small universe.

She had never heard of such a being in any universe she had visited.

There might be gods in the wider universe powerful enough to sweep across galaxies, but creating a small universe within the 'Quantum Sea'? That was an entirely different level.

This kind of being was at the pinnacle of existence, even among all the universes of the 'Tree and Sea.' Such a being transcended all imagination.

And now, such a being stood before her, holding her daughter Klee so tenderly.

Alice took a deep breath. "Ha... ha..."

Klee pouted, looking at everyone who suddenly wore strange expressions. "Why aren't Captain Jean and Mom talking? Did they fight with Daddy?"

Jean and Alice snapped out of their daze, their expressions awkward.

Alice scratched her head in embarrassment, shrinking slightly as she looked at the smiling Takumi, feeling a strange fear from deep within her heart. "Well... this... Klee, actually, um..."

Takumi touched Klee's head gently and said, "Why would I fight with your mom, Klee? We get along very well, right, Klee's mom?"

He looked at Alice playfully.

Alice's outfit was quite similar to Klee's, except it wasn't children's clothing but a youthful red outfit, looking like a grown-up version of Klee's attire.

After all, Klee was born through parthenogenesis, and their genetics were entirely identical.

When Alice heard the words of this *terrifying* being, she felt a shock. As someone who had traveled through countless worlds, she knew the importance of words. If a strong person says yes, it means yes; if they say no, it means no. The last thing to do was argue with someone so powerful.

She quickly stepped forward and stammered awkwardly, "Yes, yes, Klee, your dad and I get along great, right...?" She glanced timidly at Takumi.

Alice couldn't help but feel that this man had a bit of a playful personality. Why did he remind her of a Star God from another universe in the Tree of Imaginary Numbers?

But that Star God likely didn't have the strength to create a small universe in the Quantum Sea.

Takumi looked at Alice's compliance and chuckled. After all, she had traveled to so many worlds, her knowledge far surpassed all of the demon gods in Teyvat, making her comparable to Phanes and the Celestial Twins.

Thinking of this, he looked at Klee in his arms and asked with a smile, "Klee, tell me, what do you think proves that your mom and dad get along well?"

Venti, watching this unfold, realized that Lord Takumi was having some fun.

Alice, on the other hand, internally sighed, feeling she might be a target of his amusement.

Jean stood obediently on the side, her heart racing. The supreme being she had imagined was right in front of her, and the God of Wind was too nervous to speak. In this atmosphere, she hardly dared to make a sound.

"Proof of a good relationship? Klee doesn't understand."

Little Klee blinked and bit her finger. "But Klee heard from the nuns in the church that if two people like each other, they will kiss each other. Do Mom and Dad kiss each other?" Her big red eyes were wide with curiosity.
