Genshin Impact: Report to the Emperor! Xiao Shen is creating people again

Being dragged away from the crime scene by Shen Qianluo, Tartaglia looked a little strange.

It has to be said that even as a competitor, seeing Zhongli's unaware but actually heartbreaking expression of sadness, he could sense the extent of his opponent's heartache.

But Shen Qianluo did not say anything to comfort him, nor did he walk up to his side. Instead, he spoke those words calmly, decisively, and even cruelly, and dragged him away.

...so calm that it's a little scary.

The boy's silver hair is still as eye-catching as ever, and the pure color of his eyes is like a watch in the dark night, giving people a sense of falling as if they were staring into the abyss. Not like an ordinary person, but like a king.

As expected, he still didn't know Shen Qianluo's full picture. If he believed that his deceptively docile appearance was the boy's true nature and approached him without any precautions, he would probably be hurt and torn into pieces by him.

Will he be like this too?

Although he didn't dislike the boy's scheming and smiling appearance, his approach was not good for Shen Qianluo, who was attracted to Zhongli...

It would just be a heavy burden.

"I've never seen you so angry before, Qianluo. Haha, as expected... it's all because of Mr. Zhongli."

"I'm very grateful to Brother Ya. The feeling of pretending to be in love is very novel." When he looked up again, the boy looked apologetic. On his pretty face, he still maintained a familiar and gentle expression that was both friendly and deceptively familiar. "Now I understand the meaning of love. I want to teach you..."

“…No.” He shook his head slightly, speaking calmly and softly, with a hint of sadness in his eyes and eyebrows. “I will only give him one more chance, just this once.”

No matter how calm he appeared, Tartaglia could still vaguely sense that the boy was now angry and disappointed.

This was an expression he would never show to him. All the emotions of the boy under disguise were only open to God. Whether it was Qian Xiaoluo's choice to be adopted by Zhongli, or now that she realized where her love belonged, she refused without any room for maneuver.

From beginning to end, there was only that god in his eyes.

“…It’s okay. I understand.”

Vaguely noticing the slight deepening of Dadalia's voice, Shen Qianluo was silent for a moment and looked up at him.

The young god might feel apologetic and compassionate, his eyes were clear with determination, but he still gently grasped each other's hands, raised the corners of his mouth in relief, revealing a shallow and sincere smile.

"Brother Duck once told me that he wanted to be my brother. Even now, I still won't agree. But... as partners and friends, we still have a long future ahead of us."

His eyes were clear and cheerful. The young executive, who had been silent for a moment, sighed softly, raised his hand gently, and placed a light kiss on the back of his hand.

"If you are willing... please continue to believe in me."

The god turned and left the human race.

While Tartaglia stood in silence for a long time in the streets where the sun was slightly cold, the gods of Liyue were walking in the mortal world with their hearts in turmoil as well.

Shen Qianluo must have done it on purpose.

To make him angry and to have a quarrel with him, because she was dissatisfied with the fact that he had occupied his heart for a long time but never expressed it.

He had never heard of any relationship between the boy and the executive officer. But if, just in case, he really was tired of him...

On the lonely way home, the god remained silent, as if the silent Longlong had been abandoned on the street by the person he loved. He could only hear a few words from his people here and there.

They were indeed talking about the boy.

Shen Qianluo is indeed a magical existence. Even if he reappears in everyone's sight after a thousand years, he can become the focus of the world again in just a few days.

Some of them said that Liyue's Xiao God fell in love with the executive of the Kingdom of Winter. If they truly loved each other, they should respect Xiao God's choice.

But some people also said that the Xiao God had been sleeping and missing for a long time, and had just come to the world, and was accidentally taken into the arms of an executive who was full of deceptive tricks.

Some people said with deep sorrow that it was a pity that our Yan Wang Emperor passed away early and missed the return of the young man, and they didn't know that he fell in love. Otherwise, seeing that Lord Xiao Shen was now happy... the Emperor would definitely feel relieved.

The voices of people on the street faded a little.

Zhongli gradually stopped walking and stood silently in the bustling market, passing by the people whom he was watching over, and slowly and with great restraint, he closed his eyes.

Relieved...

?

But he was not as gentle and peaceful as his people described him to be. When he heard about the choice the boy had made, he even went crazy and desperately wanted to rush to him and pull the smiling boy away from the other men.

Pulling him into his chest, urgently, forcefully, declaring him to be his.

The young man is the dragon's treasure, how can he be touched by others?

Relieved... Relieved...

Did he have the wrong emotions? Did he fail to respond as expected? Did he mistake the tenderness between the gods for a twisted and improper joy?

"…But, will the Emperor really be happy?"

Suddenly, a figure of a commoner passed by the god, scratching his head, and joined the discussion of the people with a tone of regret and surprise.

Zhongli suddenly came back to his senses.

After he heard the other party join the discussion, the people who were discussing heatedly around him changed their tone slightly. They sighed and showed an expression that said, "So you thought the same thing."

"I was shocked. I thought so many people didn't recognize the deep friendship between the Emperor and Lord Xiaoshen."

"Even we don't want to let our Liyue God go. In fact, the Emperor may not be happy that the Xiao God was taken away by an outsider..."

The wind direction gradually changed like a spring breeze blowing through the mountains and forests. Zhongli stared at the bustling world in front of him in a daze, the boy's smiles and frowns, the way he spoke in a crooked tone to deliberately annoy him, and the pine-like fragrance of his gentle body...

The warmth of knowing and accompanying each other for thousands of years flows through the heart like water, and the silent rocks and soil will eventually bloom with colorful flowers.

Maybe sometimes, he could no longer blindly sympathize with the boy who was full of nonsense and disguised again and again.

Faced with his broken promise, he was more than unhappy, he was almost going crazy.

The hesitant steps finally chose the long-coveted direction. Zhongli turned around and rushed in the direction of Shen Qianluo. After receiving the message from the young man in a slightly casual tone, saying that he would not go home tonight and wanted to fool around with the person he liked.

He cared about him so much that he almost forgot that even the God of Contract himself should be punished if he broke his promise.

After many twists and turns, a thousand years of waiting, and soul swaps, he still can't let him go, still cares about him, still...

Love him.
