Genshin Impact: I’m really not a daddy

Let me mention here that the current timeline has not yet reached the Demon God War. The author does not know anything about what happened before the Xumi Demon War. Therefore, the chapters of Xumi are all reasonable adaptations (made up) by the author, and there are very few main plots and branch plots. A lot (similar to world quests)

After all, traveling is part of traveling, and meeting ordinary people is also part of it.

"Whoosh..."

At night, Bai Chu sat cross-legged by the fire, while Samyi lay on his lap and slept soundly.

"This kid really likes you, Mr. Traveler."

While he was quietly watching the flames dancing, the old man's smiling voice suddenly rang out. Bai Chu turned his head slightly and saw the old man slowly walking out of the tent and sitting next to him.

"Well, it's okay."

Bai Chu withdrew his gaze, gently touched Sayila's head, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He seems to have a strange affinity for children. Even though he has done nothing, these children always like to get close to him.

"Maybe it's because children like pretty things."

Bai Chu said confidently.

elder:"…"

This person is really not polite at all...

Even though he had been wandering around in this area for so long, he still choked on Bai Chu's words. Seeing the complicated expression on his old face, Bai Chu couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry, just a joke."

"Haha... He is indeed a well-informed traveler. He is really humorous."

"Um…"

Bai Chu smiled awkwardly.

The old man had nothing to say, so he could only echo.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's been a day and I haven't asked you your name."

"Akosh, may I ask..."

"Just call me Bai Chu."

"Bai Chu..." Akosh recited silently and nodded slightly.

"Is Mr. Bai Chu from an area bordering this country?"

"Ah."

"I see... I must have encountered a lot of monsters along the way."

"It's okay." Bai Chu glanced sideways at him and sighed.

"Old man, if you have anything to say, just say it. For the sake of this kid and you helping me lead the way, I can help if I can."

He could see that Akosh was testing him.

Not only did they provide him with food and drinks, but they were even of a higher standard than the others in the team. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this old man wanted something from him.

However, if it were anyone else, he might have to argue with Akosh, but he was too lazy to do so.

It doesn't matter if you help these ordinary people.

"Haha...Mr. Bai Chu is really temperamental."

Akosh twitched his lips in embarrassment. It had been a long time since he had spoken so frankly.

For a moment, I didn't know how to deal with it.

After a moment of silence, he coughed lightly and put on that smiling expression on his face again.

"In this case, let me tell you straight...Mr. Bai Chu, this is actually the case..."

……

"Well...I generally understand."

After listening to his narration, Bai Chu nodded slightly.

"It means that your opponent wants to attack you, but you don't have enough strength, so you want me to release your guards?"

"Well... indeed, that's what it means..."

But why does it sound so...weird when it comes out of your mouth?

Akosh wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled awkwardly, and responded. Bai Chu thought for a while and stretched out a hand towards him.

"I can help you, but you have to pay me first."

"I am a person who takes money first and then does things."

Even if you don't want it, it seems like free labor.

You see, travelers have to order a certain amount every time.

Besides, look at this old man’s appearance…

Bai Chu looked at Akosh nonchalantly and grinned.

Although the quality of his clothes was not very good, it was still better than what he had seen on the people of Liyue.

Moreover, judging from the appearance of these people, they seemed to be protecting something important.

It must be a good thing if your colleagues want to use some dishonorable means to get it. Therefore, even if he wants a little more, this group of people will not lose.

"Okay, what do you want?"

Akosh nodded without hesitation.

If you can safely reach their store in the city and contribute that item, money won't be a problem.

"Hey…"

Bai Chu narrowed his eyes.

If you agree so happily, is it really some kind of treasure?

He was a little curious.

"What on earth are you escorting? Can you let me see it?"

"Uh, this..."

"Just kidding."

"call…"

Seeing Bai Chu relent, Akosh breathed a sigh of relief. But immediately, he hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Bai Chu, I'm not worried about you..."

"It's okay." Bai Chu waved his hand and gently touched the sleeping Sayila, not caring about it.

"However, I want to ask you a few questions."

"You can ask as long as I know everything!"

Seeing that he really didn't care, Akosh was overjoyed and said hurriedly.

"What is the name of the demon you believe in?"

"Which demon..." Akosh was stunned for a moment.

"Look, how do we know this... We are just a bunch of little people living in a remote area, and we have never seen our own gods..."

"Then what do you call him?"

"I, we all call that demon Lord Red King... I went to the city this time to deliver something to Red King..."

"He needs your treasure?"

"It's not a treasure, it was ordered by Lord Scarlet King. I don't know what it is. But Lord Scarlet King said that no matter who can find those things and send them to him, he will be heavily rewarded!"

Speaking of this, Akosh's eyes were filled with hope.

People like them have no power, and even the place they live in is not that good.

This money is enough for them to repair the village. Moreover, Lord Chiwang also said that not only would he be given money, but he would also be given an oasis.

He has been busy for most of his life, and he can finally live a good life for himself and his descendants.

"That's it..."

Seeing his hopeful look for the future, Bai Chu smiled and did not interrupt his fantasy.

In this era, it is difficult enough for ordinary people to just survive, but this old man can still think of the people in the same village as him.

"...Do you have any flower seeds there?"

"Seeds? Yes, my daughter-in-law often plays with them. Before she left, she asked me to buy some for her. If you want them, I can give them to you when the time comes."

"Okay, let's take that as reward."

I don’t know if the climate in Liyue is suitable for the plants here to survive.

"You..." Akosh understood what he meant, his eyes widened and he shook his head.

"No, this won't work, those seeds don't cost much!"

"As long as I say yes."

Bai Chu woke up Sayila who was lying on his lap, told her to go back to sleep with her grandfather, and forcibly drove away the two people. Akosh had no choice but to thank him profusely and took Sayila back to the tent.

For a moment, the camp fell silent, and Bai Chu was the only one left in front of the fire.

Bai Chu suddenly lay back on the sand, looking at the sky thoughtfully.

The Red King...what does he want?

Could it be related to the abyss?
