Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

"This dish is delicious!" Paimon enthusiastically recommended one of the dishes that Hanasari brought, "But it feels weird after eating it?"

"What's so strange about that?" Su Ye picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Paimon said: "It's like I didn't eat anything..." Unlike other dishes, it doesn't make you feel full.

Su felt it carefully and said, "Yes! Now that you put it that way, I feel the same way!"

It tastes very delicious when you put it in your mouth, but if you taste it carefully, it feels like you are eating a mouthful of air.

Paimon was scared. "Could it be...the sorcery of the masked witch?"

Su continued to eat nonchalantly, "What kind of magic is this? This is the magic most anticipated by fitness and weight loss people!"

The mouth can enjoy the deliciousness of the food, but there is no food in the stomach at all and no excess nutrients can be absorbed.

It’s like a holographic game, allowing people to experience all kinds of beautiful scenery without leaving home.

Speaking of which, is this world really just a holographic game?

Before she entered the game cabin, the mastermind told her that this game was developed with the latest technology, with the highest degree of physical sensation and simulation. All NPCs were equipped with the highest level of intelligent AI, with self-consistent operating logic and real emotions, and especially reminded her not to be overly addicted to this fake world.

But Su looked at Sora and Paimon who had always been with him, as well as the new girl Hanasari he had just met, and thought about the string of lovely friends in his friend list.

No matter whether it is true or false, a game or a time travel, these beautiful memories and feelings are the real treasures she has obtained!

After being confused for a minute, Su quickly figured it out and continued to eat heartily.

Hanasari explained in a gentle voice, "Please don't worry. This is a spell I stole from the raccoon tribe. The dishes made from it are not harmful."

"The reason why I invited everyone to eat such suspicious... delicious food is to heal the roots of the Guardian Forest."

"It just so happens that deep in the Guardian Forest, there is an old friend of mine. He is also the monster that Su wants to meet. For some reason, he can't move freely and can't communicate with people. After eating this, you can communicate with him."

After eating this dish, you can understand the calls of monsters...

No, no, why didn't you tell me this earlier?!

Su's face turned green, and he even wanted to induce vomiting. But it was too late...

Seeing regret written all over Su's face, Paimon looked at the culprit, Hanasari, and said, "You specially invited us to eat food that can understand monster language...Aren't you going with us this time?"

"I'm not sure if he still remembers me. Or if he hates me."

Hua Sanli said with a sense of loss: "I dare not go to see him."

She didn't dare to get close to the Guardian Forest, for she was afraid of seeing Gobazo's hateful expression and also afraid that Gobazo would smell the complex scent on her.

It sounds like a story about a shrine maiden and a monster becoming friends but eventually breaking up.

Paimon thoughtfully changed the subject, "By the way, after you left, the miko from Narukami Taisha Shrine sent us a commemorative mirror, which helped us a lot."

Su took out the commemorative mirror and showed it to Hua Sanli.

When Hanasari saw this, she was filled with anger: "That, that mirror, was actually taken by that guy Hiroshi..." The Hiiragi family wasted such a great gift that they actually made such a reckless modification of the treasure she left behind!

“Huh——” Seeing the girl’s eyes widened, Hanasari tried hard to suppress her anger, “What a loss of composure, I’m not angry, yes, it’s my memory that’s getting angry without permission. Please take good care of this... commemorative mirror, it’s a very precious item.”

Gentle people are especially scary when they get angry. Su couldn't help but be intimidated by her aura, "Oh okay..."

"Really! It's very precious!" Hanasari emphasized.

Su whispered: "I will definitely keep it well..."

"Besides using it properly, be sure to protect it!" Hanasari added the maintenance requirements for the mirror, "Don't bump it, and clean it on time!"

Su: “I understand... I understand...” She will get rid of this troublesome mirror soon!

Sora also changed the subject and rescued the girl who looked at him for help, "The Shinzakura Daipuri is a ritual to purify the tree roots. What will happen if it is not purified?"

"It will wither." Hua Sanli said with certainty, "I remember... No, according to records, hundreds of years ago, the Thunder Sakura almost withered."

Hanasari seemed to recall something extremely horrifying. "At that time, monsters were rampant and even the sea turned black. The lightning cherry blossoms tried very hard to absorb the evil aura, and in the end, almost all of them withered and died."

"If left unchecked, the fragile creatures on this land may not be able to survive."

"Ah!" Paimon seemed to be able to fully imagine what kind of disaster it was, hiding in Su's arms in fear, "Then, what happened next?"

Hanasari also had no relevant memories and could only speak out her own guesses, "What happened afterwards... I'm not sure. I'm really sorry. Judging from the fact that Lei Ying is still there, it seems that the problem has been solved. Someone has performed the Great Purification."

After eating and chatting, the group of travelers followed the path indicated by Hanasari and headed for the Guardian Forest.

The Guardian Forest is an ancient forest that is so dense that even the moonlight cannot penetrate the lush branches and leaves of the trees. Fortunately, the luminous lilies blooming everywhere on the ground can illuminate the winding paths in the forest.

In such a quiet and beautiful environment, any sound will become particularly obvious.

A strange voice muttered and complained: "It's all that boy's fault, so boring..."

Paimon was about to explode, "Who? Who is it?!"

"This smell... is the smell of an unfamiliar fellow tribesman!" The voice was very surprised, "Over here! Over here, come here quickly--"

Su and Kong looked at each other and understood, "It must be the monster that Hua Sanli mentioned!"

A group of people walked along the torii gate built on the mountain path. There were many fox statues on both sides of the stone steps.

When they reached the end, they saw a stone platform of a celestial fox that was protecting a town object, and Kong once again used the lightning element to "sizzle" the statue, but this time, there was still nothing.

Su and Paimeng lay on the stone platform and looked around. There was indeed nothing there, not even any engraved words or any other hints.

Su began to get annoyed, "What's going on? Where are my things?" Why do things always go wrong?

If it weren't for Hanasari who took the initiative to help her and was a kind older sister, she would never have taken on such a troublesome series of tasks!

"Oh, so stupid! You've taken the wrong path!" That voice was even more anxious than Su's. "Let me get you guys to come pick you up."

The sound of bells was heard, and a raccoon cat with leaves on its head and a bag on its back was jumping on another path.

"Uh, is it asking us to follow it?" Paimon was still hesitant.

Su has already rushed over!

"Wait for me!" Paimon quickly pulled Kong to chase the runaway girl.

The path led by the raccoon cat still has many torii gates, but the statues on both sides of the stone steps have changed from elegant and dignified foxes to short and stout raccoon cats with round bellies.
