Title: Cultivation Chaos Continues

As Levi glared at Wei Wuxian for the umpteenth time, Shen Qingqiu was frantically whispering to Shang Qinghua, switching between Japanese and the local language. "We can't mess this up! We have to make a good impression. They're legends!"

Shang Qinghua, still starstruck, replied in broken Japanese, "ええええー！リヴァイに会えるなんて！でもどうすればいいんですか？！(Ehhh! Meeting Levi! But what do we do?!)"

Lan Wangji, who had been quietly observing the peculiar antics of the two, finally spoke up. "Shen Qingqiu. Shang Qinghua. What... are you doing?"

Shen Qingqiu coughed awkwardly, reverting to the cultivation realm's language. "Uh, nothing! Just, you know, marveling at the... cultural exchange?"

Lan Wangji raised a skeptical brow, but before anyone could say anything else, Hua Cheng smirked as he watched Wei Wuxian poke Levi's shoulder repeatedly.

"Captain Levi, Captain Levi," Wei Wuxian teased, "do you fight with swords or just those fancy knives?"

Levi's patience hit its limit. "How about I show you?"

Erwin intervened smoothly, stepping between them. "Let's keep this cordial, shall we? Wei Wuxian, your curiosity is appreciated, but Levi prefers actions over words."

Wei Wuxian laughed nervously. "Noted!"

The Group Splits

To ease the tension, Xie Lian suggested splitting up to explore the surrounding area. "There's a grove nearby that's said to hold magical properties. Perhaps we can all get to know each other better while discovering its wonders."

Erwin agreed. "That sounds like a peaceful solution."

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian, naturally inseparable, led the way. Levi and Shen Qingqiu followed reluctantly, while Shang Qinghua darted around like an excited child, still muttering about his manga heroes. Hua Cheng shadowed Xie Lian protectively, as always, while Erwin calmly observed the dynamic, intrigued by the unique personalities surrounding him.

Magical Mishaps

In the grove, the group stumbled upon an ancient array of stones glowing faintly with power. Shen Qingqiu muttered something about cultivation techniques, while Shang Qinghua clung to his sleeve, too distracted by Levi to pay attention.

Wei Wuxian, ever mischievous, decided to test the stones. "I wonder what happens if you touch one." Before Lan Wangji could stop him, Wei Wuxian poked a glowing stone, and chaos ensued.

The stones erupted in shimmering light, sending sparks flying through the grove. Everyone scrambled to avoid the sudden surge of energy, except Levi, who remained perfectly still, unimpressed.

Shang Qinghua shrieked. "魔法爆発ですか?! (A magical explosion?!)"

"Not magic," Levi said flatly. "Idiocy."

As the light subsided, the group found themselves scattered throughout the grove. Erwin, ever the tactician, quickly regrouped them. "Everyone intact?" he asked calmly.

Lan Wangji nodded. "Wei Ying is unharmed. Thankfully."

Wei Wuxian grinned. "See, nothing to worry about!"

Levi groaned. "Next time, warn me before we enter the playground of idiots."

Cultural Exchange

Once things settled, the group found themselves seated around another impromptu picnic. Shen Qingqiu and Shang Qinghua took the opportunity to bombard Erwin and Levi with questions about their world, their battles with Titans, and their lives in general.

"Do you really swing around buildings with wires?" Shang Qinghua asked excitedly.

Erwin chuckled. "Indeed. It requires precision and discipline."

Shen Qingqiu nodded eagerly. "And Levi! Are you as terrifying in person as the manga says?"

Levi raised a brow. "Do you really need me to answer that?"

Wei Wuxian laughed. "Oh, he's terrifying, all right. But I think he's secretly nice."

Levi stared at Wei Wuxian, unimpressed. "Secretly?"

Hua Cheng smirked. "I think Captain Levi prefers to keep his image intact."

Xie Lian smiled gently. "Everyone has their layers, don't they?"

A Promise of Friendship

As the day wound down, the group found themselves surprisingly relaxed despite the chaos. Shen Qingqiu and Shang Qinghua were still gushing over Erwin and Levi, while Wei Wuxian was already planning another "adventure" involving the stones.

Levi, sipping his tea, looked at Erwin. "So, Commander. You think we're stuck here forever?"

Erwin smiled faintly. "I wouldn't call it 'stuck.' Perhaps it's an opportunity for diplomacy."

Levi scoffed. "Right. Diplomacy with these maniacs."

Lan Wangji nodded respectfully toward Levi. "You have strength and composure. It is admirable."

Levi blinked, slightly taken aback. "...Thanks."

Shen Qingqiu leaned toward Shang Qinghua, whispering excitedly. "Did Levi just accept a compliment?! I'm going to faint."

Hua Cheng chuckled quietly. "It seems you've earned their admiration, Captain Levi."

"Lucky me," Levi muttered.

Erwin chuckled softly. "It seems no matter where we go, we leave an impression."
