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

"...Bai Xue." The young man called her calmly, and his fingertips, which were calloused from frequent battles, rested on Ling Mengxue's cheek, "...it seems like you've never said you love me."

Ling Mengxue originally had a lot more to say, but was completely blocked by Xiao's words.

Didn't you never tell me that? Ling Mengxue gave the young Yaksha in front of her a cold look. What an unreasonable guy. He had never said that he loved her. Sure enough, this little fairy boy was very greedy!

"I..." Ling Mengxue was a little annoyed and anxious. She wanted to say, I have done so much for you, do you still doubt this? I was even the one who proposed to you...

"It's okay." Xiao's tone was calm, and his expression was also calm, "Really, it's okay. I can feel that you... love me."

The boy lowered his eyes. Yes, he could feel it.

If it wasn't for love, how could she make such a deal with heaven just to keep herself alive?

If it wasn't because of love, why would she hug him and cry, saying "I really don't want to leave you", but then turn around and leave cruelly.

If it wasn't because of love, why would she not dare to see him because she was worried that she had hurt the emperor?

Ever since their relationship took a step further, Xiao no longer resisted her approaching him, and even expected her to hug him actively. Even if he was covered in blood, he could still hug her back calmly and gently.

Bai Xue undoubtedly loves me, but have I responded to her well? Maybe I should say that the one who loves you is not her but...

It turns out that there really is someone who, knowing that he is covered in blood and carries karma, still reaches out to hug him without hesitation. This must be the so-called lover that Mi Nu mentioned.

Thinking of this, Xiao held his lover's hand, and a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face. He gently stroked his lover's face and just looked at her quietly.

"Xiao?" Ling Mengxue was startled by Xiao, but she didn't say anything more. Maybe he just wanted to see her more.

Xiao felt that human emotions were very complicated and he could never understand them. But he knew that for mortals, "love" and "together forever" might not necessarily coexist, just as hatred and love might not be contradictory.

Some people are "separated" because of love, while some people can be "together" without love. Xiao has seen many such tragedies around the Dream Demon, and he also knows that many things in this world cannot be achieved at the same time.

But he was just greedy. He wanted Snow White to love him and he also wanted to be with her forever.

And his lover is so good, all the stars gather into her kind heart, and all the good qualities that gods hope mortals can possess are filled in her little heart - she is kind and loyal, willing to take responsibility and very responsible.

She would not give up greater love for smaller loves, nor would she ignore the misfortunes of others for her own happiness, so she would leave him. Yes, he should have known that.

[Hey, you guys, I really can't help it.] A calico cat suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"Bai Xue, step back, there is a cat demon here?!" Xiao was startled by the sudden appearance of the calico cat. He hurriedly protected Ling Mengxue behind him and put on a Nuo mask.

[......Control your man, he is just as disrespectful to the gods as you are!] The calico cat rolled his eyes at the young Yaksha in front of him and said unhappily.

"Hahaha, you can't blame him. Who on the continent of Teyvat would believe that the former Lord of Justice is now just a cat?" Ling Mengxue was amused by Xue Ning.

[…Really? I wanted you to quickly explain our plan to this young immortal, but you two have been flirting with each other for quite a while! I really can’t help it!] Xue Ning looked quite dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." Ling Mengxue smiled and hugged the calico cat in her arms.

This furry little thing made a cute sound and then poked its little head out from Ling Mengxue's arms. Xiao stared blankly at the calico cat that was shaking its head.

Xiao just felt that this cat demon was very bold and was trying to squeeze in between him and Bai Xue.

However, the next second, before Ling Mengxue could react, Xiao grabbed Xue Ning from Ling Mengxue's arms and threw her out.

Ling Mengxue was so surprised that she couldn't speak, while Xue Ning shouted loudly in grievance.

[Look, what does this guy think of me? How could he be so rude? No, I regret this, I want to kill him!!!]

Of course, Xiao couldn't hear what Xue Ning was shouting. In his opinion, she was just a cat demon who hadn't practiced well enough. She hadn't even learned the human language well, and couldn't transform into a human form.

"That night too, some strange creature jumped out from nowhere... Today, a three-color cat demon came again and tried to take advantage of you. You are really easy to attract such things." (Fat Tuo Tuo: I am not a strange thing!!!)

Xiao tightly protected Ling Mengxue behind him, muttering softly, his eyes fixed on the kitten that had been thrown under the altar.

Xue Ning, who was thrown out, gnashed her teeth in anger. She suddenly raised her head, and Ling Mengxue found that the blue-purple color in Xue Ning's heterochromatic pupils became clearer.

The calico cat shouted very majestically.

[Strange thing! You actually compared me to that fat Tuo Tuo that the chef could fry and eat. I am so angry. ]

"Is this your pet cat? How could it be so fierce? It looks like it needs to be properly disciplined."

Ling Mengxue looked at the angry Xue Ning and didn't know what to say for a moment.

[Ah, what's the point of saving him twice!!!] Xue Ning felt that the Xiao in front of her was simply an ungrateful person. She had saved him twice, twice!!!

The calico cat squirmed its small body in frustration and crawled back into Ling Mengxue's arms. Ling Mengxue stroked its soft fur, lowered her head and whispered a few words of comfort. She also scratched its chin with her fingers.

"Hulu, well, you must teach this ignorant big bird a lesson for me. Be careful, I will swallow him when I get angry. Well, right here, continue, continue." Xue Ning, who was gently holding her chin with Ling Mengxue, seemed to enjoy it. She gradually closed her eyes and made a snoring sound.

"Yes,...it's my new pet." Ling Mengxue ignored Xue Ning's low roar and gave Xiao a bright smile.

A look of doubt appeared on Xiao's face.

"Why a pet out of nowhere? Even though you usually seem to really like cats."

"Ah, that's... I saw it got lost near the inn so I picked it up, is that okay?"

"You can't even take care of yourself, and you're already thinking about taking care of your pet?"

Xiao's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a needle. Ling Mengxue laughed and put Xue Ning back on the ground.

How should I put it? Actually, this is the culprit that made the Emperor smaller?

"..."

Ling Mengxue felt that she couldn't say it even if she was beaten to death. How should she explain it?
