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

The sky and the earth seemed to be gloomy from beginning to end. When Shen Qianqiao came back to his senses, his stunned gaze met Shen Qianluo's closed eyes.

His heart skipped a beat and he raised his hand to stop it without even thinking. The arm he saw was just as he had imagined, and all the external injuries on the body had almost healed.

"Brother! Don't use the power of the soul, I... I'm fine..."

Shen Qianluo is extremely powerful, but few people know about it. He is good at using the seven elements to fight, but he is also proficient in the way of increasing damage, and has also studied healing spells. He is like a walking martial arts database and senior instructor.

But even someone as powerful as Shen Qianluo would have to pay a huge price to heal a shattered body.

This is completely contrary to the ultimate goal of his plan...

"Shut up. Qiao, please don't talk for now. I'm very angry now."

...It was also the first time I was so mean to him.

Hesitantly retracting his hand, Shen Qianqiao calmed down and tried to resist receiving the power from his soul... but was shocked back again.

Complexity and sadness flashed through his eyes. The tingling pain of recovery made him curl up into a ball. He was held in the arms of the still very immature boy. He glanced at his brother and suddenly noticed that his brother's eyes had turned red...

"Brother..." His breathing could not help but stagnate, but before he could guess, Shen Qianluo opened his eyes first. He barely managed to hold on to Shen Qianqiao's life, and his breath fluctuated slightly, and visible fatigue flashed across his cheeks.

"This is Aqiao's answer?"

Of course, the fearful tone also suppressed the anger that was hard to conceal.

Shen Qianqiao's eyelashes trembled.

He could tell from the other party's extremely slight concealing action that his brother must have experienced an extremely strong psychological fluctuation, commonly known as being frightened by him.

What he least wanted to see was the scene before him.

"I... don't want to be a burden to my brother."

"… You finally listened to those guys' slander. Ha, I should have expected that a fool like Qiao would refute me by saying, 'This is not slander, but an undeniable fact.'"

"..." The words he wanted to say were suddenly blocked. Shen Qianqiao couldn't help but cough with his head tilted to the side. The smell of blood still lingered in his chest. "Isn't it? This is the truth."

"..." The sight under the shadow of the bangs became obscured and unclear. Shen Qianluo lowered his eyes slightly, but his voice remained clear and gentle.

But he could feel that his brother was sad.

"If Qiao wants to say that your existence is useless to me, that you have nothing but wisdom, and that you are just a burden to me..."

"Have you ever thought about it? Without A-Jiao, I would be hurt because I could not detect the enemy's conspiracy, I would become a warrior who can only fight because I lost the assistance of the wise, and I would be extremely feared because I would no longer be a perfect match with you."

"When you feel sad, there will be no one to talk to. When you want to be intimate, you will find that the only person you care about is not there. You will lose the courage to face everything in order to protect you, and you will no longer find a reason to work hard to live—"

At the end of his words, the boy's body was even shaking slightly, and when his golden pupils suddenly emerged from the shadows, his gaze and expression were extremely majestic, yet filled with unspeakable exhaustion and sadness.

"Can a simple self-denial be enough to completely negate all of the above as if it had never happened?!"

The fingertips that hung limply at his sides slightly clenched together, and the surprised gaze turned into waves of emotion bit by bit. Shen Qianqiao shook his head, and the dead silence relaxed a little, and he trembled as he held his brother's hand.

On a quiet night of frost, snow and bamboo forests, they made the most solemn promise above the sky filled with murderous intent.

"So, stop denying yourself so easily. Qiao, I will never allow you to die in front of me. Can you please be the salvation that supports me to live?"

"If... this is the wish my brother made for me. Then, this is the entire meaning of my life from now on."

……

When waking up from distant memories, one often feels a sense of shock as dreams and reality collide with each other.

The young man was huddled in a room filled with sunlight. He was stunned for a moment before he turned his eyes to look at his lover who was standing by his side.

He happened to meet Zhongli's gaze as he opened his eyes.

Her hair trembled, and Shen Qianluo slowly supported his body, then fell on his chest in the latter's arms.

Today was the day he left Liyue and decided to go to Inazuma.

"Is it a nightmare?"

His eyes were still gloomy, until Zhongli's voice sounded in his ears, Shen Qianluo was startled to notice something strange in the corner of his eyes. He hurriedly raised his hand to touch it, and he really touched the star-like water light: "...It's not a nightmare."

"That…"

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Shen Qianluo remained calm, but smiled faintly, meeting Zhongli's slightly puzzled gaze: "I just dreamed about the old things with Aqiao. He has been away for such a long time, as a brother, I should go find him."
