Genshin Impact: Eternal Place

"As expected, beautiful things can heal people's hearts, whether it's delicious food or beautiful women. I never thought that the little fox back then has grown into such a beautiful woman now." Qin Lan recalled and said, "Well... in terms of temptation, the Fox Palace is indeed not as good as the Son of God."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you thinking about? What's the point of thinking so much? Is there one that belongs to you?"

"I say, you guy, people should have a pair of eyes to appreciate beautiful things. Okay, can't I take a look at something that's not mine?"

There was a sudden knock on the door. "Alan, do you want to eat?"

Qin Lan opened his phone and took a look. It was already six o'clock in the evening. However, he had just eaten fried tofu and had no appetite, so he said, "No, go by yourself and see if there is anything delicious. I'll go eat tomorrow."

"okay."

Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away outside the door, Qin Lan lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling and asked: "What do you think this guy is thinking?"

"Never mind him. Remember your mission here. Since you're living here, let's start from here." Shu Ling reminded.

"It's so late, let's go to bed." Qin Lan buried her head in the pillow. "You should go to bed after eating and drinking. We can talk about cultivation tomorrow."

…………

midnight

Qin Lan opened her eyes drowsily. She had only eaten one serving of fried tofu in the evening and now she did feel a little hungry.

As soon as she opened the door, Qin Lan found a few bags at the door, filled with some food, with a note on it: "Put the food in the thermos box, eat a little when you wake up, you will definitely be hungry if you don't eat at night."

Qin Lan patted her face, "This... Qi Ming, that guy, tsk tsk, if this guy was a beautiful woman, I would love him."

After dinner, Qin Lan lay in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep, so she simply entered the continent of Teyvat to see if she would encounter anything interesting.

…………

"Ah!" A running figure bumped into Qin Lan, "Who dares to hinder the progress of this princess?"

Qin Lan sighed helplessly and stepped forward to help the girl up.

"Who are you?" The girl stood up and asked Qin Lan in front of her.

"Hmm... a girl with late-stage chuunibyou syndrome? Oh, this is indeed a little hard to handle."

“Ahem.” Qin Lan cleared her throat and said, “I am a traveler from another world who has come here, uh… to protect the peace of Tewat Continent, Qin Lan.”

“Eh? Are you also a traveler from another world? I am the Princess of Judgment. I came to Teyvat with the Night Crow, a follower of darkness, in response to the call of fate. My real name is Fischl.”

"It's more serious than I thought." Qin Lan thought silently.

"So, Miss Princess, where are you going?"

"Ahem, we are both travelers from another world. It is fate that has arranged for us to meet here. I have already thought of a new reason and I am ready to go to the land of joy."

"Uh..." Qin Lan was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say. To be precise, she didn't know where the happy place that the girl mentioned was.

"What she means is that she made up a new excuse and wanted to go drink." Night Crow on Fischl's shoulder suddenly spoke.

"Oz, what do you mean by making it up? Everything I said is true."

Qin Lan showed a surprised expression. She didn't expect that this crow could talk. Moreover, it looked much more normal than the girl. So why was she pretending and only causing trouble for herself?

"Who is this?" Qin Lan asked, pointing at the Night Crow on the girl's shoulder.

"My most loyal partner, Oz. His full name is Ozwaldo Hefnavanis. In the world before my arrival, he dominated the starry seas and night skies of the three universes, and covered the souls of all the heroes who died in battle with his wings of shadow. By the way, calling his name wrong will result in the punishment of having your tongue pulled out. However, I am the princess, and you are someone I recognize, so we can just call him Oz."

Qin Lan calmed down a bit and said, "Since we are going to the pub, let's go sit together for a while. Of course, you can only drink non-alcoholic drinks."

When Fischl heard the first half of the sentence, her eyes lit up. After Qin Lan finished speaking, she snorted coldly, "How could this princess drink that kind of thing?"

Following Fischl, Qin Lan came to a tavern called Angel's Gift. He then ordered a special drink and sat aside to see what Fischl was going to do.

Fischl looked at the bartender and said, "According to the calendar of this world, I am more than three thousand years old. Of course, the illusion of the sun and the moon is meaningless to me who has seen through the cause and effect of three thousand universes, so you must give me a glass of wine like him."

Qin Lan almost spit out the wine she had just drunk, and then watched the bartender take out a glass of iced juice and hand it to Fischl.

Fischl sat across from Qin Lan with a glass of juice in her hand, angrily saying, "Damn mortals, you don't understand the dignity of this princess at all."

"Miss, you can't fool the bartender with this trick. If you are not old enough to drink, you are not old enough to drink."

Fischl turned his gaze towards Qin Lan and said hastily, "Don't look at me. I won't buy you any wine. But it's not impossible for you to drink if you want."

Qin Lan took out a bottle of wine from the space and said, "Hey, this is the wine that Barbatos praised. Do you want to try it?"

Fischl's eyes lit up instantly, and then a conflicted look appeared on her face. She said, "This princess will give you a book as a gift for your offering of fine wine today."

Qin Lan took the book handed to her by Fischl with a smile, and saw the words "Night Tales of Princess Fischl" written on the cover.

"Oh? Is this the princess' autobiography?" Qin Lan looked at Oz. Oz looked at Qin Lan and said, "Yes, this tells the story of the adventures that the princess and I experienced together."

Qin Lan put the book aside and slowly opened the cork of the red wine. In an instant, the rich aroma of wine filled the air.

"Oh my, you came to Mondstadt but instead of coming to see me, you're drinking here secretly by yourself. Isn't that a bit too much?" A breeze blew by, and Wendy's figure appeared in front of Qin Lan.

Qin Lan introduced with a smile: "This is my friend, the most outstanding bard in the entire Teyvat continent, Wendy."

Wendy smiled and said, "Hey, I know this person, the respected Princess, the supreme being who rules over the Pure Land of Dark Night." Then she respectfully saluted Fischl.

The corners of Qin Lan's mouth twitched slightly. My goodness, he really felt ashamed of himself for Wendy's acting skills.

“Ahahahahaha, this princess will crown you the most elegant bard in the Pure Land of Night.” Fischl said with a big laugh.

Wendy blinked at Qin Lan and said, "Well, I acted well, didn't I?"

"Great bard, if you want to drink this glass of wine, you must tell us a story." Qin Lan said, handing the filled glass to the two.

"It's all about storytelling. Such fine wine must be paired with a good story."

After taking a sip of wine, Wendy stood up, picked up the replica of the Sky Harp, and slowly began to play it.

"A long time ago, there were some girls who were good at singing in the square of Mondstadt. Her singing was gentle and peaceful, which could soothe the troubles of the knights at work. Therefore, the taciturn knight and the girl met.

Soon after, the girl went to study in the Land of Grass, Sumire, while the knight stayed in Mondstadt to protect their homeland. "

"The west wind will take away the aroma of wine,

The mountain wind brings the news of victory,

The wind in the distance moves my heart.

The rustling song is about my longing for you."

A disaster struck, and the knight went to the front to meet the enemy, blocking the enemy outside Mondstadt. At the end of the war, the knight looked far away in the direction of Mondstadt with a relieved smile: "She should be safe and sound now studying far away. I really want to hear her sing again. Hmm... when she returns home, the disaster should have subsided."

"The dandelion travels far with the morning wind,

The autumn wind brings back the fragrance of harvest,

But no matter what the wind is,

I can no longer get your gaze for me..."

After the girl returned to Mondstadt, she saw only the ruined city walls. The knight she missed day and night was already separated from her. The girl wept bitterly and knelt down in front of Mondstadt. She turned her life into a blazing fire and vowed to burn all the evil in the world...

"Well, well, are you satisfied with this story?" Wendy said to Qin Lan.

"Sir Wendy, how can the story sung by the bard not have a happy ending? Such a sad story should be preserved in books instead of being sung by people."

"Hmm...Is that so? Then I will tell you some beautiful stories later." Wendy thought for a while and said, "Okay, I still have things to do, so I won't disturb you from drinking. Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Wendy stood up and walked out of the pub...
