Genshin Impact: Quietly Investing for Six Thousand Years

The white clouds are lingering and the sky is clear.

"If you like one of them, I can imitate humans and talk to them for you." Xiao said seriously.

"I like both of them. Can Xiao the Matchmaker save me?" Chen Mo said lazily.

The redemption of Xiao the matchmaker?

The corner of Xiao's eye twitched. If it weren't for what happened just now, my 'Hepu Yuan' could poke a hundred transparent holes in you.

"I still have to guard the main roads of Liyue, so I can't talk with you for long."

Taking a deep breath, Xiao turned into a green light and disappeared in an instant.

"How cold!"

Chen Mo sat on a rock in a daze. Not far from here was the 'Salt of the Earth'.

He once broke in and brought Heulia back to Liyue. He only knew that she was later revered as one of the immortal kings of the world, and he hadn't heard from her in these days.

Over the years, he had thought about finding a woman he liked to spend the rest of his life with, but the endless wars between demons and gods made him put this idea on hold.

After all, when you have someone you love, you will have bonds and you can't leave them.

If I can’t beat you alone, I can run away. If that doesn’t work, I can hide far away, run to Mondstadt, run to Inazuma, run to Xumi…

"I'm here to collect a debt, right?!"

Chen Mo sat up, rubbed his face vigorously, and then looked at the 'Salt of the Earth' not far away.

After all, she owes me a life. She gave many of her inventions to Liuyun, so this one can be considered as paying off the debt; Wangshengtang is already paying off the debt; Ningguang is working for me...

Zhongli...it’s a draw.

Then there are Mond, Inazuma, and Sumi...

I don’t know why, but when I think of Xumi, my heart always feels empty, as if something is missing.

"Let's go and take a look. It can be considered as a revisit to an old place." Chen Mo stood up and murmured.

Then I slowly stood up, faced the breeze, and smelled the fragrance of flowers and plants. The unique freshness of nature always makes people relax.

Compared to using magical powers, Chen Mo prefers this leisurely way of taking a walk to get to where he wants to go.

Although the walk is slow, you can enjoy more beautiful scenery.

In my previous life, I came to this world because I fell off a cliff while climbing a mountain.

Walking across the time-worn stone bridge, next to it stood a Thousand Rocks soldier with a determined look in his eyes, guarding Liyue.

Going a little further, you can see a statue of the Seven Heavenly God in the distance. The old man is sitting on it, holding the star in his hand, looking very domineering.

This was his suggestion, which was recognized by all the immortals at that time.

Although I am somewhat reluctant.

Looking to the side, he remembered there was a road leading to the 'Salt of the Earth' where an ice mist flower grew.

After finding it, Chen Mo walked along the bluestone road. Many bluestone roads had been covered by water, and some had even been broken.

Back then, he carried the god of "Salt of the Earth" back to Liyue, and the displaced refugees who gathered there also followed him to Liyue.

It just so happened that Liyue was in a state of disrepair at the time, and these people had a place to go.

After walking for dozens of steps, a group of Hilichurls appeared in front of him. Chen Mo stopped and thought about taking a few back to try out Ms. Alice's "Hichill Factory"?

"Ya, yaya!"

(Human beings!)

Several hillbillies noticed Chen Mo.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and threw a few hillbillies into the water.

Looking at the Hilichurls who melted into water as soon as they entered it, Chen Mo nodded slightly. Sure enough, the Hilichurls were soluble in water.

Along the way, he dealt with a lot of Qiuqiu people, and Chen Mo passed through a piece of ruins.

Coming to an obviously wide piece of land, Chen Mo walked and a stone pillar appeared in front of him.

Chen Mo's eyes flashed and he jumped up. Sure enough, there were two bird eggs on it.

With a slight curl of his lips, he put the bird egg into the cave he carried with him.

I'll take it out some other day to stimulate Liuyun.

Jumping down from the stone pillar, there is an anchor point not far away, emitting a faint red light.

Chen Mo walked over and patted it, but there was no response. He curled his lips and thought it would take another ten years before it would be lit up.

"what!"

There are huge round stones with many flowers and plants planted in the middle, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Why are there so many flowers here?

Chen Mo walked closer and saw a big red tree planted on the other side of the round stone.

The thick trunk is bent and covered with red leaves, rustling in the wind.

Chen Mo stood under the big tree, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, until he heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Turning around, I saw a woman in a white dress, carrying a bucket, walking slowly towards me.

Her long silver-gray hair was tied up at the back, she wore a jade hairpin and a white dress, like a white lotus.

Her skin is as white as cream, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are as gentle as water, just like they were back then.

"Heulia?" Chen Mo was stunned.

Heulia stared at Chen Mo in a daze, her eyes filled with joy, disbelief, and an indelible tenderness.

"Long time no see, Mo." Heulia looked at him from afar with gentle eyes.

Chen Mo approached, and saw some flowers and plants planted around, colorful and bright, and frowned slightly, "You have been here all these years?"

When he left, Heulia was clearly still in Liyue.

"It's none of their business. I came here on my own."

Heulia put the bucket down, smoothed her hair by her ears, and her eyes became more gentle.

"Why?" Chen Mo was a little confused. He knew Heulia's character very well. She would never have a conflict with others.

"Because... here are our memories." Heulia watered the flowers and plants in the middle with a gentle look in her eyes.

"Is it because I left?" Chen Mo said.

He should have thought that it was he who brought Heulia back to Liyue, and if he left, Heulia would be in an awkward situation.

Even though she has been ranked as one of the "immortal kings of all ages".

"It's not what you think." Heulia's voice was gentle, as if it could soothe all the troubles in the world.

"Thanks to Liyue, my former people can now have enough food and clothing. Besides, after you left, there is not much worth staying in Liyue for me."

Heulia took Chen Mo to a slightly higher protrusion, on which was a smooth boulder.

Chen Mo and Heulia sat down. Not far away, a group of Hilichurls were singing and dancing.

"I'll deal with them!" Chen Mo stood up.

Heulia gently pulled him, her voice as gentle as water.

"They live here, and they don't bother me."

Chen Mo looked down at her, still as kind and gentle as ever.

Pulling Chen Mo to sit down, Heulia hugged her calves and pointed her white jade fingers into the distance.

She talked about what she had seen and heard in recent years.

"There are often several rock slimes on the southern hillside. There is a grass slime in front that often takes a nap and attacks passing adventurers. Every time it leaves a small slime behind to regenerate..."

"Look to the north, there is the plain of Mondstadt. I don't know if it's too far away, but there seem to be very few trees. I heard someone say that you've been to Mondstadt before..."

Feeling Heulia's expectant gaze, Chen Mo spoke slowly.

"When I first went there, it was still ruled by a lone demon god, and Mondstadt was still shrouded in a hurricane..."

"The second time I went there, a family that called themselves 'nobles' began to rule there in darkness. It wasn't until a person named 'Vannessa' ended the rule of the 'nobles' that Mondstadt regained its freedom..."

"You've put in a lot of effort." Heulia grasped the key point.

"No, I just signed my name for a bard." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Because of this, the old man was rarely angry and beat the bard.

As for him, you better find me first!

"Continue to tell me about the things around here." Chen Mo said.

Heulia nodded and pointed to the building in the distance.

"From here, you can see Wangshu Inn. It's often very busy there, and you can see caravans passing by and entering Liyue every day..."

"Sometimes when I feel down, I look at the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain in the east. There is always a cool breeze blowing there. That is the domain of the God of Wind."

Chen Mo looked up and saw that the top of the snow-capped mountain was covered by clouds, and a faint green light shone through the clouds.

"Do you want to go hiking?" Chen Mo was silent for a moment, turned his head and looked at Heulia.

"Ah?" Heulia turned around, stared at Chen Mo, shook her head gently, and hugged her legs, "No, you don't like climbing mountains."

"Why do you care whether I like it or not..." Chen Mo frowned slightly.

"No! I won't let you do...something you don't like." Heulia hugged her calves, tilted her cheek, and her gentle eyes fell on Chen Mo.

"You are still the same." Chen Mo sighed.

"Unlike me, I'm just a salted fish."

"How could anyone say that about themselves?" Her voice was filled with a hint of complaint.

"In my opinion, you are still as great a hero as you were back then."

She gently stroked Chen Mo's black hair with her bare hands, her beautiful eyes as gentle as water.

"I just got a lot thinner."

Chen Mo suddenly felt dry mouth and his eyes were fixed on that gentle and pretty face.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Heulia touched her pretty face curiously.

"No." Chen Mo turned his head away guiltily.

Heulia covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes were longing and gentle as water.

Chen Mo cried out that he couldn't bear it anymore, the elder sister was too capable.

"By the way, you haven't told me about your story yet?" Chen Mo quickly changed the subject.

"Me? I'm actually very afraid of being alone. The reason I kept those humans here is that I hope they can become my family..."

Heulia hugged her calves and rested her white chin on her knees.

Chen Mo listened quietly. He had never heard Heulia say these words before.

This was probably the first time she opened up her heart.

Liuyun is more like a belligerent enemy; Ping is a close brother; only Heulia, at first, just wanted to come to the rescue.

But I was attracted by her gentleness, and somehow I made it to Liyue.

"I'll go with you. Don't hurt them."

"As a god, you must be prepared to die for your people."

"I am their god. If I am unable to protect them, please... let me die for them..."

……

He is obviously very weak, and he has been compromising and giving in.

At that moment, Chen Mo suddenly felt that Heulia was very powerful and could face death.

Later, the Demon-God War broke out again, and Heulia and her people merged into Liyue. All parties were in danger, and Chen Mo was busy running around, so he rarely saw him.

The sky gradually became gloomy and night fell quietly.

"It's good that you're back." Heulia tilted her head and rested her face on her knees, a strand of silver-gray hair falling on her cheek.

Chen Mo gently stroked it and put it to his ear, "Yes! I'm back."

She never said what she missed, but kept sharing everything she had, even though it was obvious that this was all she had?

A blush rose on Heulia's pretty face, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she slowly closed her eyes.

"Let's leave the old memories behind. I want to make new memories with you."

"Mo, will you take me back to Liyue?" Heulia opened her eyes with anticipation in her eyes.

"Yes!" Chen Mo said without hesitation.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Heulia was like a little girl who got candy, with a happy smile on her pretty face.

At this moment, the stars in the night seemed to dim.

Chen Mo's heart was pounding and he quickly turned his head away.

"Let's go back tomorrow. I haven't been back to Liyue for a long time."

"…good!"

"Tell me more about Mond..."

"…good!"

Under the night sky, countless stars shine, dotted the sky, and a bright moon sheds bright moonlight.

Under the moonlight, a man and a woman sat side by side, talking about the past, the present, and looking forward to the future...

Heulia's beautiful eyes were gentle. She hugged her calves and looked at Chen Mo who was talking about the past. Her eyes gradually became blurred...
