Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

When Xiao opened his eyes, what he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

He was confused for a second, then sat up instantly.

Su and Kong!

Just as Xiao lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, the door of the room was pushed open and Kong walked in with a bowl of hot noodle soup.

"Are you awake?" Seeing Xiao wake up, Kong smiled and brought the food tray to the table next to Xiao, "Eat something hot first. I'll go call Su and Paimon."

Xiao felt a rare sense of relief and found that he had more and more questions.

When Su and Paimon followed Kong into the guest room, Xiao finally couldn't help but ask questions.

"What on earth is going on?"

The Yakshas had all sworn to the Emperor to kill to protect the Dharma and eliminate all suffering.

During the long bloody battle, they were contaminated by the hatred of the demons and were entangled with karma. In the end, they either fell into fear and went crazy, killed each other, or became possessed by demons.

Xiao and his former comrades were known as the Five Great Yakshas, ​​but all of his comrades died in tragic deaths, and now only Xiao is still alive.

Xiao had previously estimated the concentration and frequency of his karma, and thought that he would soon follow in the footsteps of his comrades, but now...

Xiao felt the karma in his body and confirmed that they had not completely disappeared, but had dissipated a lot.

At this level, he can continue to suppress it for at least a few hundred more years.

"Are you talking about the curse on you? The pollution?" It was dinner time, so Su and Paimeng came to the empty room and simply brought dinner with them, filling the table with delicious food.

Xiao: “It’s karma.”

"Karma," Su repeated carelessly, "is similar to curse and pollution."

"As for that!" Paimon answered enthusiastically, "Sora has already purified you."

"Purification?" Xiao had never heard of anyone having such an ability. How could a "karma" that was so powerful that even gods and immortals could not solve it be purified by humans? "How is this done?"

"That's how we do it." Su Yi grabbed Xiao's hand and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hand, "It's time to eat, so hurry up and use your chopsticks."

elf:!

Xiao had never been treated so intimately before, and he reacted violently to break free from Su's hand, his face turning red without him noticing.

Why be shy? This is how Kong helps you purify yourself.

Su looked at Xiao strangely, but finally explained, "Kong held your hand and helped you purify it. He has a very powerful purification skill. He once purified a dragon that was contaminated by the abyss."

Kong scratched his head after being praised by Su, and called Xiao: "Well... Anyway, start eating. If you don't want noodles, there is rice."

Over there, two girls were arguing over the best dish.

Xiao hesitated for a while, then slowly picked up his chopsticks and joined in this "human fireworks".

After dinner, the Traveler Team successfully entered Xiao’s “bird’s nest” under the pretext of sending the unwell Xiao home.

The most mysterious attic at the highest point of Wangshu Inn finally welcomed new guests.

Su ran around in the exquisite attic, pushing open all the windows one by one. After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, the wind with the fragrance of flowers blew into the attic.

"Your place is so empty," Su looked around the room, which could be described as "barely furnished," "let alone decorations, there aren't even many necessary pieces of furniture."

"This is just a temporary place to rest, it's enough."

Xiao is usually very busy, guarding this vast land for thousands of years, and daily patrols alone take up a lot of time. He has no time and no interest in decoration.

"Temporarily? How long have you lived here?"

The innkeeper said that you lived here a long time ago, although he didn't say how many years.

elf:……

I have been "temporarily residing" here since the inn was built, and it has been several hundred years.

Xiao was silent for a while and changed the subject.

He had always wanted to know—

"How did you get close to me without me noticing?"

Su Qianqian smiled when she heard this question.

"You are the type who is very wary of malicious intent and strangers."

Xiao nodded. This was his instinct as a warrior.

"So in other words," Su reached out and plucked the flower petals that Xiao had not noticed until now, which were blown by the wind in his hair, "as long as someone familiar and without malicious intentions approaches, you will not notice it quickly."

“Like this petal.”

Xiao opened his amber eyes wide, and the girl's smiling face was reflected in the golden lake.

Xiao wanted to say that this was sophistry. At the beginning, she was just a stranger and could not prove her statements.

But now he couldn't tell.

Because, just like that petal, the girl was already someone familiar to him.

Meeting you for the first time is like returning from an old friend.

——＊——＊——

"Have you finished chatting? What did you talk about?" Paimon flew over gossipingly.

"Let's talk about the room," Su said perfunctorily, "Xiao's room is too empty, I'm here to give him some advice."

The innocent Paimon looked around at the few pieces of furniture in the attic and believed Su's words: "Indeed, the beds are so narrow and uncomfortable."

The so-called bed is just a narrow couch.

Paimon simply suggested that everyone get some comfortable furniture as gifts for their new friends.

Su Hekong responded positively.

Xiao's refusal was suppressed by "When friends come to visit, there must be chairs for them to sit on, right?"

"I'll go with you." Xiao felt that he had to contribute no matter what.

"Okay, then let's take Xiao with us to earn Mora tomorrow! We can use the money we earn to buy furniture!" Su made the decision right away.

You need Mora to buy furniture, and you need to complete quests to earn Mora, but all the nearby quests have already been cleared out by Su and Kong, even the Treasure Thieves and the Fatui have been cleared out.

Finally, the team of travelers decided to go treasure hunting in the ruins on Guiliyuan.

"I've already made an appointment with the scholar from Xumi in the inn~" Paimon said happily, "As long as we find the objects with historical traces that she needs, she will give us Mora!"

The scholar promised to pay 1000-mora according to the historical value of the submitted items.

Moreover, she was just going to study these things and would not destroy them or take them away from Liyue!

"Paimon is awesome!" Su praised the communication agent of the Traveler Team.

"Hehe~" Paimeng, who was easy to please, put his hands on his hips proudly, "Then let's go to bed early tonight, and go treasure hunting with Xiao tomorrow morning!"

Paimon: "Let's go, it's time to rest."

Su: "Don't forget it tomorrow, Xiao. Good night."

Sora: "Good night Xiao, see you tomorrow."

The noisy group of people went out, and Xiao's attic returned to its former silence.

We clearly took action together today, but why do we have such different expectations for tomorrow's actions?

Yes, because they are not strangers, but... friends.

The smiling faces of his long-dead companions seemed to appear before Xiao’s eyes. In his memory, they turned around and stretched out their hands to him, beckoning him—

Xiao, it's happier to be with friends~
