Genshin Impact: Legend of the Emperor

After a lot of effort, Ying finally explained to Paimon that Aci was not a relative of Nashida, nor a relative of the Great Ci Tree King, but the Great Ci Tree King himself.

Paimon: "But isn't the Great Compassion Tree King dead?"

Ying: "Maybe the Great Compassion Tree King faked his death, or maybe Nashida used some means to save the Great Compassion Tree King."

"The most important reason is that Nashida was able to so confidently hand over Xumi to another person. I can't guess who else this person could be except the previous generation's Grass God, the Great Compassionate Tree King."

"Nashida is not an irresponsible god. Even when her identity was unknown for 500 years, she has been silently protecting the people of Xumi."

Paimon: "What you said seems to make sense."

"But since we are going back to Fontaine, Ying, you have to speed up the process. We still have a lot of commissions to complete."

"If we fail to complete these commissions in time, not only will we not get the rewards, but we will also be fined a large amount of Mora for breach of contract."

Ying silently pulled out a thick stack of commissions from behind her. These were the commissions she had accepted from the Adventurer's Association. Normally, because she had plenty of time, she could complete them in time no matter how many commissions she accepted.

But this time, Ying regretted taking so many commissions.

After being busy for a long time, Ying and Paimeng finally completed most of the commissions, leaving only a few of the most difficult commissions.

Paimon: "Hu~Hu~, Ying, let's take a break. I'm almost dying of exhaustion."

Ying: "I'm running on the ground and I don't feel tired. How can you, who is flying, feel tired?"

Paimon: “Hey!” Flying takes energy, and if I fly too long, my phantom limb will get tired.

Feeling the scorching sun on Xumi at noon, Ying rubbed her slightly sore legs, and finally decided to find a place with Paimon to eat something and rest for a while.

The two found a small restaurant on the side of the road, ordered some of Xumi's specialty curry dishes, and had a delicious meal.

It is said that the highest level of eating at a buffet is to walk in holding the wall and walk out holding the wall.

Paimon behaves like this every time he eats. Before eating, he looks like he has been hungry for days and doesn't even have the strength to fly.

After eating, Paimon’s stomach was so bloated from eating too much that he couldn’t even fly.

Ying helplessly poked Paimon's belly, which was swollen from eating too much, and asked, "Paimon, what's the next commission?"

"Wait, let Paimon take a look."

In order to better help Ying complete the commission, Paimeng chose to help Ying sort out and classify the commissions she accepted, such as commissions from different regions, time-consuming and very convenient commissions, as well as troublesome and simple commissions.

Paimon took out several commissions from behind, pulled out one, and said, "This commission is to go to the desert and deliver medicine to a mercenary from the Gilded Brigade."

Ying: "Gilded Brigade, this client must have been seriously injured in the battle and is in urgent need of medical treatment. We need to go there quickly."

Paimon: "Well, it says to deliver as soon as possible."

"But the location of the commission is deep in the desert. It takes a long time to run over such a long distance, and the reward for the commission is not much. No wonder no one took it for so long."

Ying patted his chest confidently and said, "Leave it to me—the almighty traveler!"

Carrying Paimon and the entrusted medicines, Ying first used the teleportation anchor point to teleport to the location closest to the entrusted target, and then took out the "Voyager 2".

As a means of transportation specially developed by Lu Ming for Ying's convenience, Voyager 2 is not only able to operate in amphibious environments on land, sea and air, but is also equipped with artificial intelligence, allowing it to transform into a robot to assist in combat when Ying and Paimon need it.

Although Ying's combat power expanded too quickly after he possessed the Debt King's Belt, the combat power of Voyager 2's robot form can only be used to clear out minions.

Ying: "No. 2, please, activate the desert form."

A lazy, mechanical female voice: "Ding! Activating desert mode, activating... Activation failed."

Ying and Paimeng were dumbfounded. Is there a function that can cause startup failure?

Ying grabbed the handlebars of No. 2 and shook it vigorously: "Sister No. 2, please stop messing with us. Paimon and I have a very urgent commission right now, and it concerns human life."

Voyager 2: "Humph! You call me sister when you need me, and throw me into a corner to eat dust when you don't. You two little ungrateful bastards."

Although he said so, No. 2 immediately transformed into a desert motorcycle, started the engine and roared a few times, motioning for the two to get on.

No. 2: Paimon, the target location is over there, mark it on my map.

Paimon immediately opened the map in a hurry and marked the location of No. 2 according to the map, fearing that he would be scolded like the traveler if he was a second late.

Looking at Ying who was sitting in the main driving seat with a well-behaved face, Paimeng couldn't help thinking: "Sister No. 2 is so powerful. She scolded Ying for such a long time and Ying didn't dare to refute. If Ying bullies me in the future, I will ask Sister No. 2 for help."

When he thought about how he had No. 2's protection, with the tall No. 2 standing behind him and the tiny Ying in front of him who could only kneel on the ground and pray for Lord Paimon's prayers, Paimon couldn't help but start to giggle: "See if Ying dares to say I'm emergency food again in the future!"

Seeing Paimon suddenly become "smarter" and even drooling, No. 2 couldn't help but ask with concern: "Is this little guy okay?"

Ying waved her hand and said, "Paimon is like this, I'm used to it."

After saying that, Ying grabbed Paimon who was sitting in the passenger seat and shook him hard, waking up Paimon who was immersed in fantasy.

Paimon, who was awakened, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, thought of the beautiful future he had just imagined, put on a cute smile, and said coquettishly to No. 2:

"Sister No. 2, I see your windshield is a little dirty. Let me clean it for you."

"Sister No. 2, your tires are covered in dust. It must be Ying. It's not that the Traveler doesn't care about you enough that they haven't even done any maintenance on you. When the commission is completed, Paimon will clean your wheels for you."

"Sister No. 2..."

Ying looked at Paimon who was acting so shamelessly and cutely, and her heart skipped a beat: "Oh no, Paimon seems to know that he is cute."

"But who did she learn this shamelessness from?"

"As the saying goes, a red flower will be red, a black flower will be black. Paimon must have learned bad things from Wendy, or it must be Lu Ming."

"God damn it, give me back my innocent little Paimon, who I can fool and bully at will!!!"

No. 2 transformed into a desert form and was running fast in the desert. Although he said that he was very dissatisfied with Ying, his body was very honest.

In order to allow Ying to complete the commission in time, No. 2 not only drove at full speed in the desert regardless of the wear and tear of the tires, but also held up a parasol for the two of them considering the high temperature environment in the desert and turned on the cooling mode.

The cool and suitable temperature is like two different worlds compared to the scorching desert outside.

With No. 2's full sprint, the three of them quickly reached their destination.

I have to say that although No. 2 drives very fast, No. 2's driving is also very stable. Compared with Ying's driving skills that would turn over at a high speed, No. 2's driving skills are far better than Ying's.
