Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"Let's set up a stall under the overpass and tell stories every day. It's guaranteed to be lively." Luo Chaya said to Sophia with a smile.

"How about I tell you a story and you act it out?" Sophia replied, "I know you're a good actor."

"Be modest, be modest!" Luo Chaya made a small gesture, "Just a little bit."

Apep behind him continued, "Come on, a little bit? When you lied to us that the Great Mercy Tree King was a tree, your acting was not like the little bit you said."

"But I am just a tree." Sophia turned around and said to Apep, "The World Tree is also a tree!"

"I agree!" Luo Chaya raised her hand.

Nashida looked at Luochaya, then at Sophia, then walked up to Sophia, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Great Kindness Tree King... you are back, then govern Xumi..."

Sophia ruffled Nashida's hair and said to her, "Silly child, this kind of thing should of course be handed over to humans. How can you have the energy to do everything yourself? Did you close the void?"

Nashida nodded and said, "That's right, because I have already given the Heart of the Grass God to the Fatui. Without the energy support of the Heart of the Grass God, the Void can only be closed."

"The void is a tool to unify human wisdom. The Heart of the Grass God only provides it with energy. The void already existed when it was created. We only need to provide it with energy so that we can continue to use it. As for whether it is the Heart of the Grass God that provides the energy, it is not important."

Sophia shook her head and opened her hands. Green fluorescence floated out from her hands and then merged into the surrounding space.

With Jingshan Palace as the center, Sophia's power instantly covered the entire Xumi City, and then continued to expand outward.

Luo Chaya could feel that the entire Xumi was gradually being controlled by Sophia's power.

Soon, Sophia said to Nashida: "Okay, I have changed the function system of the void, so that the energy of the entire Xumi earth veins can power the void. Only a little bit is enough to make the void work for a long time!"

"You are worthy of being the Great Kind Tree King!" Nashida looked at Sophia admiringly.

Sophia squatted down and rubbed her face, saying, "You can actually do it! It's just that you are too young now! When you grow up, you will not be weaker than me, and you may even be stronger than me!"

"I am the sunset and you are the rising sun."

"We are the gods of the old times."

Luo Chaya said at the side: "Hey, I'm not old yet!"

"You're not old yet? You must be thousands of years old." Sophia turned around and looked at Luo Chaya with a playful expression.

"Thank you, I will always be eighteen years old." Luo Chaya retorted.

Luo Chaya and his group stayed in Xumi City for a while, so there was no need for Falushan to look for them, as Elhaisen had already quickly returned to Xumi.

Sophia and Nashida also took this opportunity to announce to the two that the void had been restarted, so that they could now use the power of the void to work. The void changed by Sophia would not repeat past mistakes, which would greatly facilitate the daily life of the Xumi people.

This is the correct use of technology.

"Lord King of the Great Kindness Tree, you have given all the work to me and Falushan, so what are you and Lord King of the Little Auspicious Grass going to do?" Elhaisen is a person who will ask questions when he has them, even when facing Sophia and Nashida.

Sophia smiled and shook her head, saying, "We don't do anything."

Elhaysen: "..."

Sophia comforted him, "Don't worry, with the help of the void, you will have an easier time than before! The future is the era of humans. Although we as gods still exist, humans need to rely on their own strength to govern their own country."

Falushan nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Dacishu King, you are right."

Elhaisen looked back at her, his eyes seemed to ask, which side are you from?

"Yes, you are diligent and self-disciplined, and you live up to the trust of the organization." Luo Chaya nodded in agreement with Sophia's words.

That's what she did! Only the target was not a human but a dragon.

That's right.

After seeing off Elhisen and Falushan, the group was preparing to set off for Liyue when a scream suddenly came from the sky, followed by a black shadow falling from the sky and landing directly in front of everyone.

"What?" Nashida frowned and grabbed Sophia's clothes.

Apep moved his nose and said, "I seem to sense a familiar smell."

Luo Chaya looked at the black shadows moving in the dust, frowned, took a few steps forward, and dispersed the dust around her.

After the dust settled, the true face of the black shadow appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was Zhong Yue and Ying, and Paimeng who was lying on the ground beside them.

The scream just now came from her.

"Uh... your way of appearance is really unique." Luo Chaya looked at the three of them and laughed.

"It's because Paimeng suddenly moved around, making it impossible for me to fly steadily." Zhong Yue got up from the ground and brushed the dust off her clothes.

Paimon was still dazed, and only came back to his senses after being shaken by Ying. He protested, "I was just blown by the wind! I didn't mean to do that!"

"Why are you here?" Luo Chaya looked at them and asked again.

"We noticed the changes in Xumi, so we came here." Ying looked at Luo Chaya, then looked at Sophia beside him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is she the Great Compassion Tree King?"

Sophia smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's me."

"Is it really alive?" Zhong Yue looked at Sophia in disbelief and said, "Needless to say, it must have been Luo Chaya who did it."

"If you answered correctly, I'll give you a candied haws as a reward. Take it from your shop." Luo Chaya snapped her fingers.

Zhong Yue: "...Get lost!"

"Ah! I recognize you!" Suddenly, Apep beside her spoke up. She walked forward, stared at Zhong Yue in front of her, and said, "You are the Rock Dragon King of Liyue, right?"

"You..." Zhong Yue subconsciously took a step back after seeing Apepu. Her instinct told her that the person in front of her was a little dangerous.

"This is the Grass Dragon King, Apepu. He should be considered your old colleague from the previous term." Luo Chaya introduced Apepu to Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue's expression froze, and then she quickly took a few steps back and said, "Why are you..."

"I turned her into a human." Luo Chaya replied, focusing on being considerate.

Apep looked at Zhong Yue and snorted coldly, "Today's dragons really have no dignity at all! They have become like this. If the former Rock Dragon King knew about this, I wonder what he would think."

"Didn't you become a human too?" Zhong Yue retorted.

Apep said, "I am older than you!"
