Genshin Impact: I am best at sacrifice, don't cry

At night, Qingce Village, the home of Master Chang Jiu.

"duang! duang! duabg!"

"Chang Jiu, are you home?"

Grandma Ruoxin knocked on the door of Master Chang Jiu's house with some concern.

Yesterday morning, she saw Chang Jiu, accompanied by Hu Tao and Nan Dou, returning home with a dejected and distraught look on his face.

As the manager of Qingce Manor, she naturally paid attention to the situation of Master Chang Jiu.

A day passed, and she heard from people in the village that they had not seen Chang Jiu go out, so she was worried and went to his house to check on the situation.

"Who?"

Fortunately, after a while, Mr. Chang Jiu opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the strong smell of alcohol coming from Master Chang Jiu made Grandma Ruoxin frown deeply.

"It's Aunt Ruoxin. It's so late. Why are you looking for me? Hiccup, what's the matter?"

Master Chang Jiu was staggering, and Ruoxin couldn't help but say, "If Xiao Jiujiu knew you were like this, she would definitely dislike you. She hated drunkards the most when she was a child."

"Little Nine Nine... woooo... Little Nine Nine!!!"

"If I could see her, even if she disliked me and scolded me, I would be willing to do it!"

Master Chang Jiu's inner defenses seemed to be pierced. His already drunken body suddenly went limp and he crossed his legs and burst into tears.

"..."

Grandma Ruoxin never expected that just one sentence from her would instantly make Master Chang Jiu lose his composure.

For a moment, Grandma Ruoxin was at a loss.

She had also heard about Mr. Chang Jiu's recent events.

First, his business failed, then the manuscripts he sent to newspapers were returned one after another, and then he looked depressed after returning with Kurumi and Nandou yesterday.

No matter how you look at it, he hasn't been having a very good time lately, and it seems like today has completely accumulated to the limit.

Master Chang Jiu has lived in Qingce Village since he was a child and was raised by Ruoxin.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Chang Jiu..."

Grandma Ruoxin walked up to Master Chang Jiu and patted his shoulder gently.

"Aunt Ruoxin, I can never find Xiao Jiujiu again..."

Mr. Chang Jiu, who had been alone for a long time, suddenly threw himself into Grandma Ruoxin's arms and burst into tears.

"Hey, good boy, Xiao Jiujiu is also a good boy."

Grandma Ruoxin didn’t know what happened to Master Chang Jiu yesterday, she just instinctively comforted him.

However, Grandma Ruoxin changed her mind and remembered Hu Tao and Nan Dou who came to Qingce Village yesterday morning.

Combining the rumors I had heard about the Wangsheng Hall with Mr. Chang Jiu's performance, I had a vague guess in my mind.

After a long time, Master Chang Jiu's crying gradually stopped. Grandma Ruoxin found that he was tired of crying and had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Poor child, you have been so strong all your life, just for the people you care about."

Although the weather has been hot recently, it is always easy to catch a cold if you sleep on the floor, so Grandma Ruoxin dragged Master Chang Jiu to his bed. No one knew where she got the strength at her age.

After taking care of Master Chang Jiu for a while, Grandma Ruoxin, feeling a little tired, went home.

It was late at night, with a lone moon in the sky, and no wind or clouds.

Master Chang Jiu woke up slowly and suddenly felt dry mouth and dizziness.

But not only did it not feel hot, it even felt a little cool, which was a bit strange on a summer night.

"Who…who's there?"

Suddenly, in Chang Jiuye's blurry vision, he vaguely saw a figure standing in front of the window.

The dim moonlight came in from the window, shining on the window, and the figure seemed to merge into one with that figure.

Somehow, Master Chang Jiu instinctively felt that the figure was extremely familiar to him.

The name that had long been integrated into his life memory suddenly floated into his mind: "Xiao Jiujiu!"

After shouting, the somewhat excited Chang Jiuye propped himself up and rubbed his eyes, and found that the figure in the moonlight had disappeared again.

Suddenly he felt a little disappointed: "It turned out to be an illusion. Yes, how could it be possible? Xiao Jiujiu is gone."

"hiss!"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew into Mr. Chang Jiu's collar, just like a cold little hand placed on his neck in winter.

Master Chang Jiu, who shivered, was suddenly stunned, because a voice sounded in his ear: "Stupid Jiuge, you promised me yesterday that you wouldn't drink."

"Little...Little Jiujiu!"

"Isn't this an illusion?"

Mr. Chang Jiu sobered up instantly, and turned his head slowly with some fear and anticipation.

Nothing.

"really……"

Just as Mr. Chang Jiu turned his head in disappointment and was about to continue sleeping, a transparent little hand appeared in front of him.

Then, the little plan he had been thinking about day and night suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Stupid Brother Nine, I'm here!"

"It's really a little trick!"

Master Chang Jiu's eyes instantly widened and he pinched his thigh hard, with so much force that he almost cried out in pain.

The little Jiujiu in front of him did not disappear. She was still pouting angrily and looking at him unhappily.

"You...I...how..."

After confirming that Xiao Jiujiu really existed, Master Chang Jiu was so excited that he couldn't speak.

After a long time, Master Chang Jiu regained his composure and began to ask Xiao Jiujiu why she was able to appear by his side.

"A kind-hearted immortal gave me this opportunity..."

"Hehe, I will supervise you carefully from now on. I want to read the book you promised to write for me!"

"Okay, okay, I'll write it now, I'll write it now!"

Master Chang Jiu did not ask any further questions, nor did he ask whether Xiao Jiujiu staying with him would affect his own lifespan.

Xiao Jiujiu didn't say much. In the palm of one of her hands, there was a small seven-colored light ball with a touch of white light in the middle. In a field of vision that ordinary people could not see, it was slowly absorbing the elemental power between heaven and earth.

……

"Brother, is this really okay?"

"It's okay. Even though we're one person and one ghost, lovers finally get married, right?"

"I have also solved the problem of Xiao Jiujiu's existence. I can freely choose whether to show up and I can ensure that it will not be known by outsiders. Isn't this perfect?"

"But the rules of the Hall of Rebirth..."

"Rules are made by people. You are now the head of the Wangsheng Hall, so you have the final say. If you are worried, you can ask the Emperor Yanwang."

"Okay, brother has the final say."

Hu Tao and Nan Dou stood on the wall of Chang Jiuye's house and watched Xiao Jiujiu enter Chang Jiuye's room.

The reason why Nan Dou violated the ancestral rules and allowed Xiao Jiujiu and Chang Jiuye to be together was entirely due to subjective emotional factors, without any objective factors.

As a player who first played the original game of Genshin Impact, he was deeply impressed by the story of Xiao Jiujiu at Wuwangpo and the subsequent story of Chang Jiuye who went looking for Xiao Jiujiu.

After all, no one expected that after going through so much hardship to help Xiao Jiujiu find the book in the extremely gloomy Wuwangpo, she would disappear.

Then later on, at Chang Jiuye's place, Nan Dou felt the pain of being stabbed hard.

"I hope you can both find redemption and hope from each other..."

"This power is called [Seed of Hope]."

In Nan Dou's palm, seven colors of power slowly rotated and merged around a point of white light.
