Genshin Impact: Dance of Sinners

Liyue Port - Linlang Street.

Although scattered snowflakes continued to fall in the sky, there was still a long queue in front of this coconut milk shop.

At the end of the line, a handsome man in a brown suit was holding a wooden paper umbrella and quietly walking with the crowd in front.

Standing next to Zhongli now was a tall, beautiful woman.

The woman is dressed in a dark blue crane-shaped dress, with long waterfall-like hair tied behind her head. She has a figure as slender as a willow, bright eyes and white teeth, harmonious and agile facial features, and a pair of red-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her straight nose. When she is not talking, There is an elegant, gentle and mature charm in every gesture.

"Zhongli, the queue here is so long, could it be that the coconut milk here has some special charm?"

"That's not the case."

"No? Is there any unknown way in it?"

"That's not true."

"That's not the case, and that's not the case either. What's the reason?"

"The reason is that the shop owner here printed Miss Gan Yu's appearance on the coconut milk cups for publicity." Zhongli explained patiently.

Xianyun frowned slightly, leaned out from behind the team, squinted his eyes and looked forward. Sure enough, he saw several large boxes of coconut milk cups with the image of Gan Yu printed on them in the store.

Xianyun thought for a while, then suddenly understood something and nodded happily.

"...Don't you think it's strange?" Zhongli asked tentatively, somewhat puzzled by the bird's reaction.

"What's so strange about this?" Xianyun glanced at Zhongli, "I... If I remember correctly, Liyue should have had a long tradition of printing images of immortals on various items to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons. .”

"I'm just a little confused. Although Gan Yu has been practicing with this immortal for a long time, he can only be considered at the bottom among the immortals in Liyue. Why did the shop owner choose her image instead of Zuoyue Lihai and the others? ?”

Zhong Li smiled and said, "Maybe it's because Miss Gan Yu has escaped into the mortal world in recent years, and they are more popular with the people than Zuoyue Lihai."

"Hahahaha, so wonderful, so wonderful." Xianyun clapped his paws proudly, "I believe that in the near future, these people will also print my image on various objects."

Zhongli smiled and said nothing, and just walked forward with the flow of people. But what was particularly strange was that ever since Zhongli entered the queue, he had been at the end of the queue.

In other words, no one has joined the queue since Zhongli entered the queue.

"...I didn't realize that you have laid a heavy rock cover here. Zhongli, do you and the owner of this shop have a grudge and want to ruin his business?" Xianyun followed Zhongli's footsteps and walked. As I walked, I also vaguely felt something was wrong.

"This shop owner? I just want to talk to him about something." Zhong Li shook his head, "Xianyun, take a closer look and see who he is."

Xianyun turned around and looked inside curiously again.

At this moment, the last batch of customers before Zhongli and Xianyun had left, and at some point the scholar-looking shop owner had taken the place of the two beautiful waiters in the shop and served Zhongli and Xianyun a glass each. milk tea.

"Liu Shu, I have met the emperor, and I have met the true monarch Liu Yun Jie Feng."

The scholar-looking boss still held a folding fan with a smiling expression.

"The two of you coming to my place really make the shop shine."

"Six thousand years ago, a branch of the World Tree stretched out from the False Sky, and with it came the third descendant who was proficient in the seven magic forbidden spells and practiced all seven elemental magics to the extreme. ." Zhongli played with the stone lock in his hand thoughtfully.

"What is regrettable is that such a talented and beautiful person was killed by Tianli the day after his arrival. His remains were also refined into seven divine hearts and stored in the seven countries."

"So far, there is only a scholar named Willow Shu left in this world, and many secrets left by the third descendant."

"Mr. Zhongli is joking, what secret can there be about this?"

“There are so many things that make people wonder.”

Zhongli shook his head, "Although there is no fate of the third descendant in the starry sky, what she uses is not the power "from outside the world", but the elemental power derived from Teyvat. What exactly is this? Is it a coincidence, or did she do it on purpose?”

"What's even more puzzling is that the branch named "Willow" is obviously part of the World Tree, but it helped an outsider come to Teyvat."

"This third descendant seems to have a natural charm. Not only the branch named "Willow", but even the Ice Queen who commands the winter, also works hard for her resurrection, even offering the title of Ice Queen and All the Winter Country.”

"Haha, Mr. Zhongli was joking. She actually doesn't have much charm, but she is very beautiful, so people can't help but agree to her requests."

Mr. Liu smiled and waved his hand, "If Mr. Zhongli meets her, he will definitely like this amazing little girl."

"Mr. Liu, I have no intention of inquiring into your secrets. I'm just a little confused about the timing of your arrival in Liyue."

Zhongli picked up the cup and took a sip of the warm and sweet coconut milk in it.

"Three years ago, after Mr. Lin and Miss Fu eloped from Fontaine, you followed them all the way to Xumi, and finally to Liyue. Some time ago, Mr. Bai Shu offered Mr. Lin the billion molad Under the conditions, you will have many large amounts of money in your account one after another."

Mr. Liu looked at Zhongli with a half-smile, "It seems that what Mr. Zhongli gave Mr. Lin back then was not just a simple piece of amber."

"Mr. Liu, I don't mean to offend."

Zhong Li shook his head, "I just think that since A Lin and Miss Fu have retired to seclusion, I wonder if you and the people behind you can also let them go and give them a chance to live a stable life?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhongli said it lightly, didn't he?"

Mr. Liu smiled and fanned his paper fan, "Mr. Zhongli should know Mr. Lin's qualifications."

"The immortals in Liyue have lived for a long time, but even if they live for thousands of years, how many of them have mastered the forbidden spell?"

"Mr. Lin is only in his early thirties now. With just a small eye of the water elemental god, he can peek into the cracks in the false sky and master the aquatic forbidden spell: human body refining."

"If we maintain this pace of practice, practice and find a body of a water demon, I think Mr. Lin may not be able to achieve the ultimate level even if he has no authority and does not rely on power from outside the world."

"Mr. Zhongli, I would like to ask you, if people like Mr. Lin retreat, who can Teyvat expect to come up? In this world, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"There have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years. Since Mr. Lin's heart is not here, why do you force him to take this path?"

"Mr. Zhongli, we don't have much chance. It's not that I want to be a bad guy, but there are too many things in this false world that are targeting Teyvat."

Mr. Liu shook his head, "Nowadays, the power of the Abyss is getting bigger and bigger. None of us know whether the next person who sits on the throne of Sky Island will become the second Heavenly Law."
