Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Ying poured his thoughts into the seed, then let go and let it fall to the ground in the true consciousness space.

The branches emerged from the ground and grew vigorously.

However, something black began to erode it. It tried hard to purify itself, but it was not strong enough and almost died.

Foxes appeared from nowhere and surrounded it, offering it their strength.

The replenished tree continued to grow and became stronger and stronger, with lush branches and soft flowers blooming on the branches, like an endless pink cloud.

The jewel-like seed eventually grew into the sacred cherry tree, which has protected the Inazuma people from disasters to this day.

Raiden's voice seemed to be telling a heartwarming story, "Eternity makes time infinitely extend, and dreams make every tick shine. The two complement each other, and the divine cherry will eventually bloom from the darkness without being bound by the constraints of heaven. At this point, the nightmare dissipates and reality is complete."

"The vision that you and I both long for is still ahead of us. Unfortunately, I can no longer witness Inazuma's future, nor can I walk with you any longer."

The sacred cherry tree dropped more petals, trying to buy a little more time for Raiden to regain consciousness.

"You know what, Ying, I'm very happy now because my last wish has come true. Your naginata has blocked countless disasters for me, and I always felt that I owed you something."

A hundred emotions were surging in his heart, but Ying could not say anything except shaking his head.

"Before you truly wake up and have a new encounter, this sacred cherry tree will buy you some time." Raiden said his final goodbye to his sister, "This time, it's really goodbye, Ying."

The gathered petals scattered like rain flying in the opposite direction, and dispersed towards an unknown height.

Goodbye, Zhen.

Ying closed her eyes and said goodbye to her sister in her heart.

——*——*——

"I'm finally back, but I'm so tired." Seeing that Ying and the Traveler Team were all safe and sound, the Son of God breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, why do you all look so emotional? You all have a lot to say, right? Why don't we go to a quiet place together?"

Until everyone except herself was soaking in the steaming hot spring, Paimon still didn't understand how the Son of God convinced them.

"Are you really not going to come down, little one?" The pink-haired witch stirred up a handful of hot spring water, and a special fragrance mixed with milky white hot steam rose out.

"The people of Inazuma love hot springs very much, but they don't have the conditions like Nata. The boy from the Hiiragi family imported a high-efficiency boiler from the Kingdom of Winter, and added precious minerals and special plants to the water to create the artificial hot springs of Inazuma."

"This is the highest level of imperial hot springs that are only available to General Raiden. Don't you want to come and experience it?"

Seeing Ying, Su and Shen Zi all with their hair tied up and soaking in the water comfortably, Paimon couldn't help but be tempted.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Sue's head and he remembered.

Su turned around and lay on the edge of the pool. He reached out and grabbed the wooden tray with the fruit on it, piled the fruit aside, and placed the empty wooden tray on the water.

"That's good, Paimon. Hold this and you won't sink. Come on, the hot spring is really comfortable."

Seeing Su's expectant invitation, Paimeng went into the water reluctantly.

After a while, Paimeng had fun and swam happily in the hot spring pool on the wooden tray.

Shen Zi: "Don't you like it? Why did you look so scared just now?"

Sue explained: "Paimon is afraid of deep water. She can't stand water that's deeper than the bathtub."

Paimon swam over and complained: "I am afraid of deep water because of you..."

She remembered the day she met Su——

The hungry Paimon stared at the sea and was about to catch a fish to fill his stomach, but was splashed with water in the face by the girl who suddenly fell into the sea.

Before he could get angry, he found the girl sinking with her eyes closed!

"What happened next?" Shen Zi and Ying listened with great interest to Paimon's story of meeting the girl.

"Then the rescuer Paimon was taken to the deep sea by the person he was trying to save," Su complained, "I woke up and found that Paimon was about to fall over, and he took her to the shallow sea."

When she opened her eyes, she saw the little white-haired elf with a painful expression on his face that said "I'm dying, dying, dying!", but his hands were trying very hard to pull her towards the surface of the sea.

"Then we were fished together by Sora... and rescued to shore." To this day, Paimon is still grateful to Sora for that sturdy fishing rod!

Sue: "From then on, Paimon, whose kindness overflowed beyond his means, became afraid of deep water. End of story."

Paimon was so angry that he screamed, "Su, why are you like this? Your words are so annoying! You don't seem as cute as before!"

Su turned the tables and said, "It's because Paimon doesn't love me as much as before that he thinks I'm not lovable anymore! Sora is the same! He always avoids me!"

She used to sleep with Paimon and hug each other! She also often walked hand in hand with Sora!

But these intimate gestures are almost gone now!

If they weren't at the top of the favorability list, Su would have suspected that they hated him!

“This…this…” Paimon looked away guiltily, “Because…because you have grown up! You are no longer the person who didn’t understand many things before…”

"Growth?" Su looked down at his body and felt that there was no change at all.

"I'm not talking about that!" Paimon's head was about to smoke, "I'm talking about your understanding of the world and the rules of society!"

Sue: "Oh... I just said I didn't grow taller. But what does what Paimon said have to do with your indifference towards me!"

"We argued about this before, and Paimon clearly promised me..."

She had taken the opportunity to make a scene when she was sick on the ship, but when she recovered, Paimon and Sora started avoiding physical contact with her again.

Paimon: "..."

Paimeng had no way to defend himself.

How can I put it? Is it because her eyes have a lesbian filter that makes her feel abnormal about everything she sees?

"Does Paimon think Su is too clingy?" Shen Zi, who had been watching the show, seemed to come to the rescue, "Why not give it to our Narukami Taisha?"

"No!" Paimon refused quickly and flatly, "Su...Su wants to go with us to find her sister!"

How could Shenzi steal someone else's child! She remembered! Su's increasingly harsh words were learned from Shenzi!

Wow, it's all God's fault! He has bad intentions!

"But I can always give hugs to the clingy little one?" Shen Zi opened his arms to show his advantage.

Su, who had been trying to avoid her out of disgust, suddenly remembered something and threw himself into the arms of the Son of God, not only saying something, but also extending his hand...

Shenzi smiled and grabbed the girl's hand, "What do you want to do with this hand?"

"You're so stingy," Su broke away from Shen Zi's hand and turned to snuggle up to Ying, "I just want to find your tail!"

The result turned out to be none!

Could it be that...the Son of God is a disabled fox? !

Seeing the girl looking at him with a serious and sympathetic expression, Shen Zi, who had completely guessed her thoughts, smiled and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "My tail is fine!"

Su didn't believe it: "Then why don't you show them? Your ears are always exposed!"

The shadow on the side couldn't help laughing, "There is indeed nothing wrong with Shenzi's tail. The reason why it is not exposed is because... the tail is too straightforward."

"It sways when it's happy, droops when it's upset, and explodes and becomes very fluffy when it's scared or angry..."

After trying many ways to control his tail, which easily revealed his mood, and failing, Shen Zi simply made it disappear.

Paimon murmured, "I never thought...the Son of God has such a simple side."

Su and Paimon both felt that the usually mysterious image of the Son of God was shattered.
