Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

The blood-red sunset glow was gradually fading away, and Xiao and Kong were facing each other in a deadlock. Neither side was retreating, nor was the other side charging forward. It was like two tigers staring at each other, and neither was willing to leave the battlefield first.

Xiao originally thought that after his strength increased greatly, he would be able to find a way to eliminate this potential threat for Ling Mengxue. However, he did not expect that the strength of this blond boy was so strong, and it could even be said that he was stronger than him. If he had not accidentally obtained those immortal powers some time ago, he would probably not be a match for the boy in front of him.

Kong's eyes were also filled with horror. He had never thought that it was just a small fairy beast from Liyue, but it could actually fight him back and forth. It seemed that Xue Ning had some special reasons for liking him.

"It looks like we have to stop here today." Kong glanced at the darkening sky. The battle with the young Yaksha made him feel a long-lost sense of comfort. It has been a long time since he had such a great time fighting.

"If you don't give up, I will keep watching you." Xiao felt helpless. Although he had tried his best, he still seemed to be lacking in ability.

"Um, excuse me." A clear girl's voice suddenly came from the distance.

"Master Xiao, you don't seem too busy. Why don't you come to my place and have a cup of tea? Hey~" Hu Tao waved happily at Xiao.

"Do you need help? Do you need help? Here I come! If you need help, I, Hu Tao, will do my best and will never refuse." Hu Tao glanced at Kong beside Xiao and felt a subtle atmosphere between them. She patted her chest to show that she could help, and Hu Tao was very confident that she was a very good fighter.

“...No need. Mr. Zhongli...” Xiao recognized her at a glance. This was Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, and also a girl whom he had trouble dealing with.

"You didn't take good care of your injuries and just ran away from Bai Zhu. Mr. Zhongli is angry." Hu Tao deliberately frowned, trying to make herself look more serious.

"..." Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment. Although no monsters dared to approach within a hundred miles of Dihua Island for some unknown reason, his performance in the past few days did not seem to be much different from dereliction of duty.

"You should come back to the Hall of Rebirth with me. I have never seen Mr. Zhongli sighing all day long." Hu Tao glanced at Kong next to him and asked in confusion: "Is this your new friend?"

"Grand opening promotion at Wangsheng Hall! Not only can you receive coupons, but you can also enjoy a 50% discount on the second person. Buy one tablet, get one free! It's a super deal, how about it? Are you tempted?" Hu Tao decided not to miss any opportunity to attract high-quality customers. The blond boy in front of her looked very noble, and he might become her big client in the future.

Kong looked at the lively girl in front of him and didn't know what to say. Although he had heard from his sister that there was a girl who would come up to sell coffins and tombstones to anyone he met, he still felt a little uncomfortable after seeing it with his own eyes.

"Let's go." Xiao didn't want Hu Tao and Kong to have too much contact, so he raised his hand to signal Hu Tao to follow him.

"Hey, wait for me..." Hu Tao wanted to promote their Wangshengtang business to the blond boy, but the Xiao Shangxian ran too fast, so she had to catch up. Before leaving, she didn't forget to shout to Kong: "If you have time, you must come and take care of my business."

In the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli put down the teacup and looked outside the door with his golden eyes. Calculating the time, Xiao and Hutao should be back.

"Everything has a beginning and an end, it's just a matter of whether the ending is good or bad..." Zhongli smiled bitterly.

"There are many wishes in life, but if they are not fulfilled in this life, it will be a great regret in life." Although Zhongli was very worried about Xiao's safety, he knew very well where he had been and who he had been looking for in the past few days. If he had been as brave as Xiao now, perhaps the ending would have been different.

She could no longer remember when she had signed the unbreakable contract with the supreme god, Tianli. For the long-term safety and development of Liyue, she had become Tianli's most loyal supporter without hesitation. In a sense, she could be said to be her direct subordinate.

The law of nature seems to be trying to maintain a balance and keep the status quo unchanged. Therefore, there has always been a saying among the seven gods that eternity is the closest to the law of nature.

However, a hundred years ago, a race that wanted to look up at the sky finally appeared in the mortal world. They tried to approach that inaccessible territory through development and technology. However, before they touched the sky, they were ruthlessly destroyed by the law of nature.

The destruction was so thorough and cruel.

In fact, how could the Emperor not know about the activities of the Fatui in Liyue? However, over the years, he has asked himself countless times: is it really the right thing to follow the will of heaven and destroy the civilizations of Kanreya and the Snow Country?

Kanreya is a godless country, and its people are all non-believers. Those alchemists named "Gold" are constantly studying the essence of the world, trying to challenge the majesty of God with human wisdom.

The people of this country are fierce and warlike. A world full of demons and evil spirits has not been able to subdue this mortal race. They maintain endless creativity and unrestrained curiosity about the world.

Today's Winter Solstice Kingdom seems to have returned to the old path of Kanreya a hundred years ago. The Ice Queen in his memory does not seem to be the same as what people describe now.

"What kind of person is the Winter Queen?"

"The Queen is actually very gentle. But it is precisely because she is too gentle that she has to become cruel. And it is precisely because she dreams of peace that she has to declare war on the whole world."

I heard Ying said that this was the evaluation of the Queen of Winter by the 11th Executive Officer of the Fatui, Tartaglia.

Gentle but had to become cold, Zhongli felt that he seemed to understand a little bit what the Queen of Winter was thinking, so after guessing the Fatui's plan, he joined the game. After so many years, he was also tired. I heard that the Queen of Winter was collecting the Heart of God, probably to join forces to fight against the law of nature. If there is a way to smoothly hand over the Heart of God to the Queen of Winter and smoothly resign from Liyue, it is not a bad idea. Then the Heart of God will be a gift to the old friend.

But if he did that, he would have definitely broken the original contract, and that lady would definitely be very disappointed in him. But if he watched Dongzhi Kingdom become the second Kanreya, Zhongli felt that he couldn't do it.

Zhongli looked at the wine in the freezer. It was a gift from the young man who called himself Ling Mengxue. He had opened it and tasted a little, and the taste reminded him of the past.

So he, who seldom drinks, made an exception and went to look for the wine he had drunk with his old friend a long time ago. Was it because the climate had changed? Alas, the taste of the past may never be recreated.
