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

After three rounds of drinking, although the group of people drank enthusiastically, they were very restrained and there was no drunkenness or crazy behavior.

Beidou's resentment towards Nandou for leaving and reappearing after more than ten years gradually faded, and was replaced by an endless desire to talk.

Beidou's pretty face turned slightly red from drinking. She nonchalantly put one hand around Nandou's neck, and with the other hand holding the wine glass, she kept telling him about her deeds at sea over the years.

Nan Dou calmly poured cup after cup of liquor into his mouth, knocking down one person after another who came to persuade him to drink, while also not forgetting to occasionally reply to Bei Dou who was immersed in telling stories.

Alcohol had no effect on him and was digested almost the moment it entered his body.

At the end of the dinner, Beidou suddenly said to Nandou:

"Unfortunately, I can't stay in Liyue Harbor for too long recently, otherwise I would have to talk to you more..."

Nan Dou's heart moved, thinking of Morax's recent retirement, and couldn't help asking: "Is this the job given by Qixing?"

"Well, besides Ningguang, who else can make me obey orders?"

Beidou put down his wine glass and shook his hair, feeling somewhat helpless.

"I think there's another person, what do you think?"

Nandou raised his eyebrows at Beidou and said in a mean way.

"Hmph, barely. You saved me when I was a kid."

Although Beidou's face was red, his eyes were clear and it was obvious that he was not drunk.

Nandou doesn't think Beidou is arrogant. After all, a big sister like Beidou's personality is more like she is unwilling to accept the consequences.

"As an immortal, you should know this better."

"Well, that's true."

"The sea has not been calm recently. I feel like something big is going to happen."

A trace of solemnity flashed across Beidou's eyes, and the feeling in his heart was just like the feeling he had more than ten years ago when he and Nandou were before the decisive battle with Haishan.

(The octopus monster is a random monster. After Nandou's interference in fate ends, it will erase everyone's memory of it and rationalize it. Beidou's memory is that Nandou and she defeated Haishan together and left for more than ten years)

Nan Dou naturally knew what would happen next, so he smiled easily: "I will stay in Liyue Harbor for the next few days. If there is any major change, I will be able to take action in time."

After hearing what Nan Dou said, Bei Dou was completely relieved. Seeing that all his brothers had left, he also got up and left.

Suddenly, Beidou thought of something, and came up to Nandou to take a closer look, and said, "You look quite old after your rejuvenation this time."

"..."

Nan Dou didn't know what to say for a moment, and fell silent as he looked at Bei Dou's ruby-like eyes.

During that intervention of fate, he made up a lie that he would not die but would regain youth, but Beidou never forgot it.

After all, before they met again, Beidou always felt that Nandou was lying to her.

"Okay, I won't waste time here. I'll return your things to you."

Beidou walked to the door, turned around and threw something at Nandou, then decisively pushed the door open and left.

Nan Dou reached out to take it and found that it was his own Eye of God, which had a faint fragrance and warm body temperature.

It can be seen that Beidou has always regarded it as a treasure over the years.

Nandou felt deeply moved and hurriedly pushed the door open. He saw the setting sun and Beidou's shadow reflected on the stone road behind him. The thin shadow of Beidou when he was young appeared in his mind, and the two gradually overlapped in Nandou's eyes.

"So many years have passed in a flash, and that guy's personality hasn't changed much."

"But speaking of which, she wouldn't know that this thing of mine is always on, right?"

Nan Dou looked at the Eye of God on the glove and fell into deep thought.

……

The next morning, Nandou, standing at the port of Liyue Harbor, watched the Southern Cross fleet leave the port.

The Southern Cross Fleet returned to Liyue Harbor mainly to replenish supplies.

If we hadn't met Nan Dou unexpectedly, we would have set sail last night.

"Hey, come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be anyone interesting anymore."

"Kurumi, my lovely sister Kurumi!"

"How about I go to Fontaine to find her?"

"Forget it, the retirement ceremony, oh no, the invitation ceremony will be held in the next two days, so it's better not to run around."

Nan Dou thought in confusion and finally shook his head helplessly.

"No other way, let's find a quiet place to test the new power these two days."

When it comes to quietness, Liyue Harbor is definitely not the place to go.

So, Nan Dou bought a few days' worth of dry food, left Liyue Harbor, and plunged into the mountains.

When leaving, I unexpectedly saw Kong, Paimon and Zhongli encounter each other.

……

"Let's start from a familiar place."

Nan Dou concentrated his attention and began to use the power of the Seed of Hope in his body. After the last interference of fate, the Seed of Hope was no longer illusory, but a power that he could actually use.

Soon, another pair of wings appeared behind Nan Dou.

There was no rush to try using the wings, but he waited quietly.

It was a long time before Nan Dou felt that strange feeling again.

“Is it because of the changes that have taken place that it won’t be too much of a burden?”

In order to ensure the accuracy of the experiment, Nan Dou once again used the power of the Seed of Hope to transform his body.

This time, the target of his transformation was his left hand.

As the seed of hope that turned into a sapling in his body flickered slightly, Nandou's left hand changed from the hard keratin structure of the Yasha bloodline to a sharp claw with a wooden touch.

That’s right, this is the palm in the shape of black jade Qilin in the state of command.

Suddenly, tears welled up in Nan Dou's eyes and his expression became full of compassion.

"Why am I so cruel? Those genetically replicated lives are also lives!"

"What right do I have to deprive them of their lives at will? I am truly guilty of a heinous crime!"

"..."

Three hours later, Nan Dou's expression suddenly became calm.

"I see. The price of using this pure life force is to face the negative emotions hidden deep inside your heart?"

"Whether it's fear or regret, it's all about the sins I've committed and the decisions I've made."

"No, I will never carry any sin on my body, and I will not regret any decision I make."

“Spiritual freedom and independence are what I pursue, and all my choices are the choices I want.”

As he continued to mutter to himself, Nan Dou's eyes gradually became firm.

At the same time, Nan Dou's body changed again, and the familiar Yaksha bloodline showed a completely different form towards the black jade Qilin.

It was from this moment that the boundless negative emotions dragged Nan Dou's consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness again.

The black sea water submerged Nan Dou, and the negative emotions turned into dark ghost hands that grabbed his consciousness and dragged him completely into the deep and dark seabed.

However, Nan Dou's body did not make any dangerous moves because of the negative emotions. He just sat cross-legged quietly.
