Genshin Impact: Journey to Teyvat

Chapter 680 God Doesn’t Need Company

"The Kujo family went from glory to decline. It's really an unimaginable change. Kujo Kamajima is not a good successor, but..." Ying paused and turned to face the four people: "He made me see those things that have not changed in the huge changes."

Ying didn't notice the corners of his mouth curling up: "It was thanks to you guys, wandering around the streets, and your pictures that made me realize this."

Ivan blinked. In such a short time, the two girls had done something new and unexpected for him.

Paimon responded, "What will happen to the Kujo family next? Is it possible for them to continue to be the Lord Magistrate?"

Ying shook his head: "That still won't work. Even if this successor has some shining points, it's not enough to make up for the mistakes he made before."

Ying lowered his head: "But...let's give it some more time. After all, they are not the only ones who made mistakes."

General Raiden would not do anything wrong, and absolutely could not do anything wrong, but Ying was a Ying now, and as a Ying who had done something wrong, she still wanted to find an opportunity to express her apology.

But after saying this, Ying felt much better: "In the days ahead, there are still many things to think about, but at least now I can see the direction clearly."

Ying was still quite curious: "Then will you manage Inazuma directly?"

After thinking for a while, Ying shook his head and said, "Let the general do it. The greatest threat to eternity is always the 'wear and tear' brought by time."

Wear and tear? Ying repeated these two words in her mind, and said the same words to the Rock Lord who was Zhongli.

The shadow who made the Thunder General said that the general has a self-protection mechanism. She thought that she would change over a long period of time, but this would not affect the general.

Ying has figured out something, and she will find a way to make it happen no matter how difficult it is.

"Then congratulations." Ying put her hands behind her back and winked at Ying. Gan Lin nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, it's a very good solution."

Ying agreed with them: "It is indeed a very memorable time."

Paimon took out the candy again. "The matter of Tianling Bugxing has been resolved. People on the street have seen that the general is in good health. Those rumors will naturally disappear. As a celebration, I will give you one... well, two, my favorite candy. No more."

Ying couldn't help laughing. No wonder Ying and Gan Lin liked this cute floating spirit so much.

"If Ying likes to come out and play, we'll invite you out next time!"

Ying nodded in agreement: "Then we can bring some local specialties, or go to Mondstadt or Liyue to bring you some new things?"

Gan Lin propped up his chin and said, "Maybe I can try making Gorgon Fruit Cake next time?"

Ivan looked at the three girls and then at Ying who was smiling very gently: "So you like sweets. I brought a lot of chocolate, milk chocolate, and various nuts."

Ying coughed lightly, fearing that they might go too far: "No need, this is not a part of my life. And don't make it sound like I need company."

She didn't plan to continue shopping: "I should get ready to go back."

As she walked, she said, "It will probably take some time for me to rest in seclusion, but not too long. I'll leave these small matters to you humans."

Paimon, who had already gotten used to Ying's pattern, obediently said that they would see each other next time. Ying did not answer, but did not explicitly refuse either.

Since Ying had already returned, and since Yae Shinto had specifically instructed them to return the pass, they naturally had not forgotten.

Ivan finally returned to the secret realm to continue his trial. After all, the trial had a time limit, and he had not yet fully understood his new abilities, so he would have to stay in the simple copy for a while.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be back before you have your midnight snack." After saying that, he turned and walked into the dungeon. Paimon crossed his arms and blinked: "You only remembered to eat."

Ying suppressed her laughter: "You too."

"Hey! I'm very useful!"

“Very useful for clearing out food stocks.”

"I'm a very good guide! It's very rude to say that!"

The Narukami Taisha Shrine is just upstairs, and Yae Kamiko had already given instructions, so the shrine maiden at the door saw them and brought them directly into the house.

"Son of God, we are back. Everything went smoothly along the way!"

Hearing Paimon's voice, Yae Shinko turned around without surprise: "Oh? Then you must tell me your story."

Paimon obediently began to tell the story of the journey, which made Yae Shinto couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, this is so funny. A dignified general goes shopping in the city like a country girl."

After finally stopping laughing, Shen Zi wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "It's a pity that I didn't get to see it."

Ying spread her hands: "You seem to enjoy making fun of each other."

"I guess you're the only one who dares to say that." Gan Lin suppressed the corners of his mouth and complained.

Yae Shinko shook her head and said, "It's okay. She won't mind. She definitely won't mind." As she said that, she winked at the three of them.

After the teasing, Yae Shinko got back to the point: "But, from what you guys said, she seemed to have vaguely touched upon what eternity should be like?"

The three people thought of what Ying said and nodded. She looked like she had figured it out.

"Then this is the most important gain. To be honest, when I lent you the pass, I didn't expect there would be such great progress."

Shen Zi was quite satisfied with the result, and Paimon nodded happily: "Well, she no longer forces time to stand still."

Yae Shinto snorted, "To put it nicely, this is called God's wishful thinking. To put it bluntly, even the Seven Rulings of the Earthly Realm cannot do something when facing a more powerful being."

Ying didn't quite understand: "Does it refer to the human heart?"

Yae Shinko smiled and said, "Haha, I'll leave this to you guys to guess."

Shen Zi was quite satisfied with the loan of the pass. It not only solved Ying's problem, but also allowed these travelers to see that Ying was not so rigid.

This is a good thing for them: "When you want to see her again in the future, come and borrow my pass. Although she won't say so, she still gets lonely very easily."

Paimon tilted his head in confusion, "Huh? But she said he didn't need company."

Yae Shinko smiled and said, "Because she is a god. It's not that gods don't need company, but that 'company' is too much of a luxury for her."

"But since you all don't belong to this world, maybe this is a very good choice."
