Genshin Impact: Report to the Emperor! Xiao Shen is creating people again

"How are you all prepared? Those two guys are coming."

"Of course I have no problem with that. I hope nothing goes wrong today."

"Look at these old guys pretending to be nice people. Humph, they just make me do thankless work."

A few whispers were heard in the misty mountains, and then they dispersed and turned into a thicker milky white fog, covering the entire mountain.

The first thing Morax and Shen Qianluo felt when they stepped into the realm of immortals was the hazy white fog.

"When you and I were watching from afar, the fog had not yet risen so quickly. Morax, perhaps our arrival is not welcome."

Shen Qianluo commented on the situation. The fog was so thick and dense that when he looked around while walking on the mountain road, he would only look back in a flash and the people around him would disappear.

There was no answer. All that was left was the dead silence and rolling fog, and everything was white.

Shen Qianluo was stunned for a moment.

"Morax?"

He called out to his companions tentatively, but received no response. He suddenly stood still, his black clothes standing out in the white mist, the shadow of his slightly drooped eyelashes casting a deep gaze in his eyes.

·

It took Morax only a few seconds to notice Shen Qianluo's disappearance. The endless fog seemed to flood the plains, becoming thicker in the mountains and making it increasingly difficult to see what was in front of him.

His steps paused for a moment.

It seems that the immortals had noticed their approach early on and took corresponding measures.

An ambiguous light flashed in his deep golden pupils. Morax remained calm and continued to move forward. Soon, a slight and vague groan of pain was heard from the thick fog.

When he pushed aside the bushes and went forward to check, he met the young man's clear and painful eyes: "Huh? Are you... a human who came here to seek the way and visit the immortals? It's really hard to say... I'm sorry to make you laugh at my current state."

He gasped weakly a few more times as he spoke, holding his injured ankle with a look of distress.

This scene still made Morax look thoughtful. After a few seconds, he asked, "Are you the immortal in the clouds?"

“No, no, how can I be an immortal?” The young man showed a panic expression, waved his hand to deny, and accidentally touched the injured part, with pain flashing in his eyes, “I am a human living in this mountain, my name is Xue Yue… Ahem, you can just call me Xue Yue.”

"Sogetsu, if you don't concentrate, he's going to see through our disguise!"

However, Liu Yun's powerful voice exploded in his mind, shocking Xie Yue, who was pretending to be weak, so much that he almost trembled.

"So that's the case." Morax seemed to be about to say something but hesitated for a moment, and finally just nodded slightly, "Xie Yue, this place is guarded by immortals, it should be peaceful and harmonious, but where did the injury on your foot come from? Is it serious?"

"Thank you for your concern. I just sprained my ankle. It's just..."

"only?"

Xie Yue struggled to stand up, but he complained in a way that was not quite disguised: "But in the clouds on the top of this mountain, there lives a female devil named Liu Yun. That woman... oppresses the people around her to offer her the magic herb, causing them to live in misery. It's really abominable!"

"?"

"Oh?" Morax's golden eyes stared at him, causing Xueyue, who ignored Liuyun, to feel a little palpitated. However, the oppression dissipated in a moment, and he spread out one hand with ease.

"I still have some power. Since that female devil is so arbitrary, I will seek justice for you and get rid of her."

"Cough, cough!" Xie Yue coughed twice, trying to save something and then said, "But, although that female devil is hateful, she also sticks to her principles. What's even more infuriating is my companion named Li Shui!"

"He is lazy by nature. When he saw that I had picked enough magic herbs, he pushed me and took all the magic herbs away!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"It is absolutely true. My ankle injury was caused by him. Now I don't have the magic herb to offer to that woman Liu Yun. I will be punished if I go back. You must judge for me."

·

Shen Qianluo walked in the thick fog for a while and actually met a human who suddenly appeared in the fog.

The man was dressed like a servant boy. After noticing his appearance, he spoke in a gentle and polite tone: "Are there outsiders in the clouds? You look unfamiliar. Did you get lost in the clouds?"

"Yes." Shen Qianluo nodded slightly and returned the greeting. "I wonder if this... um, immortal? Can you give a little advice to a weak person like me?"

"I am not an immortal. If you wish, you can call me Lishui." Lishui seemed to be very pleased with Shen Qianluo's politeness and nodded at him. "I am a native of this mountain. Now I am begging for food from the immortal Liuyunjiefeng Zhenjun in the mountains."

"Master Liuyun is passionate, outgoing, and sociable..."

"?"

"Well, if you are willing, you can follow me to the temple and sit there for a while, eating some of the sacred herbs offered there. This will be of great benefit to your practice."

Blinking harmlessly, Shen Qianluo nodded: "That's good. I came to Yunjian by chance and happened to meet the immortal's servant. This is naturally a good thing. But, I got separated from my companions..."

The two of them walked forward in the fog, one in front and one behind. Strangely enough, where Li Shui was, the fog dissipated a lot, which was enough for Shen Qianluo to keep up with his pace.

"Oh, this is also a small matter. As long as Master Liuyun is willing to help, finding companions will be a piece of cake."

There really is an old temple on the top of the mountain. Shen Qianluo stood in front of the door and looked up, then glanced at Lishui: "Then Qianluo would like to thank the immortal first. Lishui, is the one behind the door Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun?"

"Of course, of course." Li Shui nodded profoundly, and watched Shen Qianluo raise the corner of his mouth intentionally or unintentionally, and with a long squeak, he pushed open the door.

The sudden surge of gathering force pulled the two of them in in an instant.

"Hmm..." After a few seconds of dizziness, Shen Qianluo raised his eyes and saw a powerful mechanical technique. "What is this?"

Li Shui at the side showed a look of bewilderment: "Not good, this is... a female demon named Ge Chen in the mountains who is blocking our search for the immortal!"

Shen Qianluo looked at him and nodded seriously: "So that's the case."

In front of the two of them, there was the sound of the mechanical device slowly and suddenly starting up.

·

"Dear traveler, you must remember that among the clouds and mist of this mountain, the only truly friendly person is the female fairy named Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun." Leading Morax towards Ge Chen's residence, Xue Yue limped with great effort.

"Given my current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to return to Liuyun Temple. You might as well come with me to visit the residence of True Lord Gechen so that we can make some plans."

With a barely perceptible sigh, Morax nodded: "That's fine. Thank you."

Ge Chen's residence seemed not far away, and the two of them soon came to a pond with birds singing and flowers blooming. The first person they saw was a man who had been waiting here for a long time and seemed to occupy this place.

"Haha, who is here? Tell me your name!"

With a golden light in his eyes, Morax nodded slightly, not easily getting angry at the other party's rudeness: "You can call me Morax."

The man smiled and said, "So you are Morax. Great, a resounding name. I am Yixiao. Do you know if the people around you are trustworthy? Your lost companion is now... in crisis!"
