魈 | Xiao
Xiao

One of the mighty and illuminated adepti guarding Liyue, also heralded as the "Vigilant Yaksha."

Despite his youthful appearance, tales of his exploits have been documented for millennia.

He is especially fond of Wangshu Inn's Almond Tofu.

This is because it tastes just like the sweet dreams he used to devour.

Xiao
By honoring his oath as a yaksha, one hopes that our fellow adeptus has now finally gained some respite from the grievances that have burdened him all these millennia.—Adeptus Streetward Rambler comments ruefully during a game of chess

The people of Liyue Harbor greatly revere the mighty and illuminated adepti who dwell in Jueyun Karst.

During the festival seasons, they will offer up incense and pray to the adepti for their protection.

But none pray to Xiao.

For Xiao is no lucky star that promises fame and fortune — he is a demon-hunting Yaksha.

After the lantern lights of Liyue have faded, the thankless battle to protect the city goes on unseen. It is an endless battle, and there can be no victor.

Still, none of this fazes Xiao, for as the Vigilant Yaksha, he must protect Liyue to honor his contract.

This is simply the way it is.
