Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

“How dare you!” Master Liuyun Jiefeng flapped his wings and scolded Keqing.

"Master Liuyun..." Ganyu wanted to dissuade Master Liuyun Jiefeng from getting angry.

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng looked at her and said, "Ganyu, this matter is between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals. If you want to express your opinion from the perspective of the immortals, I welcome it very much, but if you want to express your opinion from the perspective of the Liyue Seven Stars, then you'd better not say it for now."

Seeing how serious Master Liuyun Jiefeng was, Ganyu closed her mouth and stood aside in silence.

“The Seven Stars of Liyue are discussing with the immortal sincerely, but True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng is being so aggressive, it’s too much!” Keqing stared at True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and said in a deep voice.

“What do you think? Are the Seven Stars of Liyue going to go to war with the immortals who protect Liyue?” True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said with a stronger tone, staring closely at Keqing. “Are the Thousand Rocks going to attack their former comrades?”

“The Seven Stars of Liyue have never thought of going to war with the immortals, but if True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng continues to blame all the crimes on the Seven Stars of Liyue without any explanation like he did just now, we will have no choice but to do so!” Keqing said seriously, clenching her fists.

"What a shame that I have to do this." There was already some violent wind whistling around Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

"Silence!" Luo Chaya's voice was slightly cold. She took out a blue scepter from somewhere and knocked it on the ground, interrupting the tense atmosphere between the two sides.

“…Jingshui?” Several immortals looked at Luo Chaya and called her by the name of Jingshui Judgment Master.

Keqing wanted to say something, but when she thought of Luo Chaya's current identity as the Pure Water Judge, she shut up. Ningguang looked at her and said, "Please don't mind. Keqing is always like this, she speaks her mind."

Luo Chaya glanced at Ningguang and Keqing, then looked at the Immortal, and then said slowly: "The Immortal has lived in Liyue Harbor for a thousand years, so it is normal that he is not good at chatting. But as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, you are indeed too impulsive."

The second half of her sentence was directed to Keqing.

Upon hearing this, Keqing simply lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. However, True Lord Liuyunjiefeng retorted, “Nonsense, I’m really good at chatting! When I’m free, I’ll have a good chat with you!”

Uh...is this the time to talk about this?

Luo Chaya continued, "There is nothing wrong with the Seven Stars of Liyue quickly taking over all the power of Liyue after the Emperor was assassinated. But I am curious, Master Ningguang, why did you hide the immortal body of the Rock King Emperor?"

"Because there may be clues to the murderer on the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Shell, in order to protect such clues, I have forbidden anyone to view the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Shell of Emperor Yanwang." Ningguang did not hide this and told Luo Chaya directly.

"Is that so? Then may I ask Lady Ningguang, have you found out anything?" Luo Chaya naturally knew that the "Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis" was just a dragon skin, and that it was casually dropped from the sky by Zhongli, but this did not prevent her from bringing up the matter.

After hearing Luo Chaya's question, Ningguang slowly shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't have any clues yet."

"The efficiency of Qixing really impresses me! In tracking down the murderer, they are not as fast as they are in gathering power." True Lord Liuyunjiefeng said sarcastically.

True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang had been silent since he entered the room. He shook his huge antlers and whispered a few words to True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. After hearing what he said, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng said, "Sorry, I was a little too radical..."

Naturally, Luo Chaya could not hide the movements on their side from her ears. After seeing the reactions of several immortals, she knew that when these immortals were meeting in Jueyunjian, Xiao had already told them about the current situation.

The immortals were aggressive from the start, but they were just acting.

Luo Chaya laughed and continued, "Among the immortals, there is a demon-conquering great sage who is responsible for clearing the demon residues on the land of Liyue. As the name suggests, the demon residues are the terrible pollution formed by the power that erupts after the death of the demon. Even the weakest demon, the destruction brought about by its death is not something that humans can bear."

Luo Chaya's words have made it very clear.

Among the seven stars, Ningguang reacted the fastest, "You mean, the Emperor is still alive?"

"Emperor, are you still alive?" Ganyu looked at Luo Chaya in disbelief. She was unusually excited and her face turned slightly red.

"Eh? Is the Emperor still alive? Is this true? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Luo Chaya reacted quickly and looked at Ningguang in surprise.

"Uh……"

What a fake reaction.

"Ahem, anyway! It's not that easy for Liyue to transition from the era of divine rule to the era of human rule." Luo Chaya shook the scepter in her hand and threw it aside. The scepter disintegrated into water elemental force in mid-air and disappeared.

"Not easy, what do you mean?" Ningguang looked at the scepter thrown away by Luo Chaya, which turned into water elements and dissipated. She also looked at her natural and noble movements and unconsciously used honorifics.

"The Abyss Cult, the Fatui, and many other forces are active on the land of Liyue, and none of them are good people. There are also the remnants of demon gods everywhere, as well as the pollution deep in the Stratum Abyss..."

Luo Chaya recounted the things that Liyue was facing now, but soon she continued: "But these are not the most important things... The resentment buried in the deep sea for thousands of years is slowly awakening. The rock under Liyue will eventually break through the prison after weathering the wind and frost. All of this is a test for you to face. Seven Stars of Liyue, do you have the confidence to resist all of this when the gods are gone?"

After hearing Luo Chaya's question, Ningguang fell silent. After a long while, she said, "I'm sorry, I can't give you a definite answer. Whether it's the hatred in the deep sea or the rock under the ground, they may have power beyond humans. But, as one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, I can tell you clearly that we will never give up."

“No matter what era it is, the Liyue Seven Stars will stick to it for the future and development of Liyue! The Liyue Seven Stars once followed the Emperor’s guidance, but now that the Emperor has let go, Liyue is no longer a toddler. We will do our best to satisfy the Emperor!”

"This is the answer of the Liyue Seven Stars to the Immortal."

As Ningguang finished her words, the other six people beside her straightened their chests and faced the immortal.

"Is that so? Is this the answer of the Liyue Seven Stars to the immortals?" Luo Chaya did not raise any objections. She looked at Master Liuyun Jiefeng and continued, "So, what about the immortals? Do you have anything else to say?"
