Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

Xiao obviously didn't understand what Ling Mengxue said at all. A different expression slowly appeared on his tired and expressionless face.

With an expression that was a bit surprised and a bit like hearing an unfamiliar word, Ling Mengxue didn't wait any longer and lowered her head to hug his neck.

"..."

Of course Ling Mengxue is not Xue Ning. She has no immortal power at all. Even if she knows some wind magic, she can't compare with the man in front of her. Even at this moment, she is just using the wind he brought. Hugging is just a way for her to comfort him.

Xiao, who was hugged tightly by her, trembled all over and his body seemed to be a little stiff.

Have I ever taken the initiative to hug this man before? Ling Mengxue asked herself in her heart.

It seemed like she had never been there before. She was the one who had always actively sought the embrace of a man. She was the one who tried to get close to the unreachable immortal with a bowl of almond tofu. She was the one who shamelessly pestered him to learn some immortal fighting method every day. She was the one who often reached out to him for a hug.

"Thank you for your hard work recently."

Ling Mengxue's fingertips gently brushed across Xiao's soft dark green hair, just as he often did to her before.

"Well, there is also..."

She leaned close to his ear and whispered.

"I miss you."

Her voice was very low but she still whispered it in his ear, he should have heard it, Ling Mengxue continued.

"Really, I miss you."

Some emotions have to be expressed in order for him to know, even though Ling Mengxue often suspected that Xiao had some grudges against her because of the Emperor's affairs during this period.

Ah, so that's why. I've been feeling energetic these past few days while avoiding him, but for some reason I've always felt down.

The moment she finally realized her true feelings, Ling Mengxue's heart started beating wildly.

She wanted to save this man, this man who was destined to have a rough fate, the only one who could save her in this world - a life-saving straw. If her feelings for this man were limited to this, she would not miss him in this temple.

Ling Mengxue finally admitted that, well, she liked him very, very much.

After so many sleepless nights, this answer must have been too simple.

Even if the Emperor really died because of Xue Ning, she couldn't stop liking him. She liked him very much, and even she herself couldn't understand why she had to go through so much trouble to find him.

I like him not just because of the tragic life experience of this man in the first half of his life...

"I finally lost to you."

Xiao said helplessly, hugging her waist with both hands.

The ambiguous distance between the two of them disappeared in an instant. At this moment, although Ling Mengxue didn't know what the handsome man holding her was thinking, she could hear the irregular heartbeat of the man from his close body.

This satisfied her more than any sweet words.

"So, you didn't really come here just to see me."

Ling Mengxue asked while touching Xiao's face.

"Didn't I tell you? When I can't see you, I feel like... I can't breathe."

"It should be more than that."

Ling Mengxue stared at his golden eyes with a suspicious tone.

"You must have another purpose."

Xiao looked at her blue-purple eyes with curiosity.

"...When did you become so sharp?"

"You are really......"

Ling Mengxue frowned, rolled her eyes at him and retorted.

"After all, I have been with the Immortal for so long, right? Besides, if I want to win your heart, I have to understand your personality traits first, right?"

"Capture my heart?" Xiao repeated her words and chuckled.

"You really like to say things like this to make me happy recently."

"Hehe, isn't this my personal charm?"

Well, Ling Mengxue had to admit that this last sentence was pure nonsense.

She shook her head and escaped from his clutches, her eyes widening as she continued to ask.

"Don't try to change the subject. How did you find this place? And how did you get in?"

"The disappearance of my karma and the surge in my spiritual energy are probably related to the law of nature. You have been hiding a lot of things from me from the beginning, haven't you?"

Xiao did not answer her question honestly, but asked her a question in return. But how did he guess that his karma removal and the surge of immortal energy were related to Xue Ning?

"The Emperor is still alive." Xiao patted Ling Mengxue's shoulder gently.

"Well, that's great." Ling Mengxue had already learned the news from Xue Ning, so she was not surprised.

"What on earth have you done for me...Answer me."

Xiao looked down at her as if trying to read her thoughts, but after a few minutes he let out a low sigh.

"So, you've been worrying about this."

"How can this not make me worried?"

This was not the answer Ling Mengxue wanted. She looked at him blankly and finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

From the beginning...

It starts from the moment I first saw you.

"Ever since that day when you cried in my arms, I've thought you were weird."

What Xiao said next made Ling Mengxue feel a lot more at ease.

You guessed wrong, it’s Xiao Shangxian.

It didn’t start from that time, in fact it started earlier than that time…

Ling Mengxue showed no flaws on her face and continued to ask with a smile.

"Then why didn't you try to keep me?"

"I didn't expect that the things you were hiding were actually related to that Tianli-sama. Besides, I still can't guess what the relationship between you and her is."

"About this, although I didn't want to do many things according to that woman's wishes, because at that time I didn't know what she wanted from me."

But now I know, Xue Ning must have regretted it. If time could go back, she would never choose to destroy Kanriya and the Snow Country. Even if it is to maintain the balance of the world, she will definitely think of other ways.

Of course, she couldn't tell Xiao the truth about this, so she could only find a random excuse to fool him.

"It's all because you're too handsome. She's the only one in the entire Teyvat continent who can save you. I have no choice but to give myself to her and beg her to save you."

Although Ling Mengxue said this, she was thinking about something else in her heart. She touched the clean and invisible immortal power wrapped around Xiao with her hand. This was indeed Xue Ning's divine power.

Although she didn't know a lot, but speaking of this... Ling Mengxue tilted her head.

The Emperor’s power is not completely irreversible. Xiao doesn’t seem to know this?

Xue Ning only sealed Mr. Zhongli's power temporarily, and it will be unsealed again at a certain time.

I’m afraid Xiao doesn’t know this yet, but Mr. Zhongli may never grow up again.

"If that's the case, then it's my fault. And what does it mean to commit myself to her?!"

Xiao sighed and smiled.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. It all looked very natural.

Just this simple contact made Ling Mengxue's worries disappear. Not only her ears but even her face turned red. She could only hug him tightly.

As expected, I have no way to deal with this man, so I might as well confess everything honestly.
