Genshin Impact [Outsider]

Su Li protected Luo Chen and stayed in the rainforest for a whole night.

It was not until the early morning that Su Li picked up Luo Chen and walked towards the dilapidated house.

Su Li had to find Xiao Hei, otherwise she would have to walk until the afternoon to reach Star City.

Luo Chen woke up once in Su Li's arms, but soon buried his face in Su Li's chest and fell asleep again.

After all, it is normal for the child to not be able to hold on after being tense for a whole day and night.

Fortunately, although there was a fierce battle last night, Xiao Hei did not run away because of excessive fright.

The heavy rain gradually stopped, and the world wrapped itself in wet clothes, beginning another day of existence.

Su Li touched Xiao Hei, carried Luo Chen on the horse, and continued to rush towards the direction of the royal city.

"Once we get to the royal city, take a good rest, Xiao Hei."

The horse has been hungry for almost a day. From yesterday till now, it has only eaten a few bites of nearby wild grass and drank some puddles of water.

Su Li did not urge the horse to gallop, but let Xiao Hei move slowly to prevent Xiao Hei from becoming overly tired.

Following the path back to the main road, after walking for a while, Su Li noticed a familiar figure on the road.

Su Li frowned slightly and looked ahead carefully. Looking at the small figure who was only about 1.5 meters tall and the clothes he was wearing, Su Li could only think of one person.

"They look so similar. If it's really her..."

Su Li couldn't help but sigh and got closer and closer to the other party.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves, the girl did not look back, but just walked tirelessly.

"A small businessman?"

Hearing the familiar voice, the girl was stunned, then slowly turned her head to look at Su Li.

"It's you……"

Mu Chen just looked at Su Li with lifeless eyes. She was a little surprised. She remembered that Su Li had already set out yesterday, but why did she come here only now?

When Muchen saw the little girl in Su Li's arms, he was completely shocked.

"Is this the little princess?! How did you…"

Mu Chen subconsciously stepped back and stared at Su Li uneasily.

She couldn't help but suspect that Su Li had kidnapped the little princess, and when she saw the bandage wrapped around the little princess' waist, she became more certain of her thoughts.

"Did you kidnap the little princess and hurt her in order to make her obey?"

After hearing Muchen say this to her and seeing her suddenly hide away, Su Li was speechless.

"How do I look like a human trafficker... And have you ever seen someone sleeping so soundly in the arms of a bad guy?"

"Then how did you..."

Su Li knew that Mu Chen had misunderstood her, so she explained:

"The royal family was attacked, and I just saved the little princess."

Mu Chen also noticed the injuries on Su Li's body at this time, and looked at the little princess again, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I misunderstood you, Boss Su Li."

"Well, weren't you in Sand Village yesterday? Why did you suddenly..."

Su Li suddenly stopped and looked at the dirty Muchen. She had already vaguely guessed what had happened.

"Did Sand Village also come under attack?"

Mu Chen closed his eyes and nodded.

"The Sand Village has been completely destroyed... and I have also encountered the God of the Starry Era."

Su Li was silent. He didn't expect that the situation was much more serious than he imagined. If all areas were invaded, then Xingcheng...

"You said you saw the God of Xingji?"

Muchen nodded, and just as she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly felt a burst of pain in her head. She could only cover her head and try her best to endure it.

Seeing that Muchen suddenly turned pale and held his head in pain, Su Li immediately used the power of water element to inject it into Muchen's body.

After a while, Mu Chen finally came to her senses. She slowly stood up and said to Su Li:

"I'm fine, but I suddenly felt a headache for some reason..."

"It's good that it's okay."

"I can't remember..."

Muchen suddenly spoke, and then racked his brains to think, but still looked at a loss.

"I can't remember anything about what happened last night when I faced the demon god..."

"Is it stress-induced amnesia?"

Mu Chen shook his head and silently said: "Bring the news back to Star City..."

Su Li stretched out her hand and said to Mu Chen, "Since you are going to Xingcheng too, let's go together."

Muchen hesitated a little, looked at Su Li, and then looked at Xiao Hei.

"Aren't you afraid of tiring your little blackie?"

"It's no problem. It's still some distance away from Star City. I don't know when we can get there."

Muchen felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about how long he still had to go.

"Well... okay, thank you, Boss Su Li."

"You're welcome. Meeting is fate."

Muchen got on the horse and followed Su Li towards Star City.

After a while, Muchen was overcome by sleepiness. After a while, she could no longer hold on and fell asleep on Su Li's back.

Su Li just rode his horse silently, his eyes fixed on the Star City Tower in the distance.

If Star City also falls, what should we do next?

"In the dream, the demon seemed to want to deal with her demonic shadow himself..."

Su Li was thinking, and suddenly remembered the last words the Demon God said to her.

"Miao Qing!"

That’s right, this is the real name of the Demon God, and the ruler of the Star Era happens to be named Miao Qing, which may mean that... Lord Miao is Miao Qing.

But Su Li quickly denied this idea. He was sure that Miao Qing no longer existed, otherwise what he had seen before and what appeared in his dream could not be explained.

In short, go to Star City first, and ask Lord Miao after you meet him. You will always be able to get some clues.

……

Not surprisingly, Star City also encountered a change, and due to the lack of guards, the city soon fell into chaos and disorder.

The people of Star City fled in all directions, but the mutation happened too quickly and Star City soon became a slaughterhouse full of despair.

Ironically, the butcher is a citizen of Xingji, and so are the victims.

The first ones to rush back to Star City were only Hotpot and Mumu's group. When they saw the scene in the city, they were all in despair.

"how so……"

Mu Mu couldn't accept what he saw. His whole body was trembling as he looked at the blackened people in every corner of the city.

"Why would they..."

Hotpot clenched his fists and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Whoever did this, I want him to pay with his life..."

At this moment, they finally realized that an unprecedented crisis had broken out in their hometown.

The guards threw away their armor and weapons, some rushed into Star City like crazy, while others just knelt on the ground in a daze.

"We... no longer have a home."

"Is the end of the world coming..."

"my child……"

The guards fell into despair. At this moment, their families, relatives and friends no longer existed.

“Everyone, don’t just stand there, set up a base, and find a way to clean up the evil people. There are still many survivors in Star City waiting for our rescue.”

The guards ignited a glimmer of hope, holding on to the hope that their family members might still be survivors waiting for their rescue, and all the guards immediately took action.

Hotpot sighed and looked in the direction he came from in silence.

“I hope they can get through this crisis…”

……

At the top of the Star City Tower, Lord Miao looked down and closed his eyes silently.

"I still can't stop the disaster from happening. It's my fault for being so useless..."

"Master Miao, the people we sent out have returned. The eldest princess has returned to Star City safely, but the youngest princess...was not found in the wreckage."

"Some of the remaining members of the royal family will arrive in Star City soon, and some have been confirmed dead."

"I understand. Go ahead."

"Yes, I will find the little princess as soon as possible."

The royal guards soon left, and Lord Miao sighed deeply, gazing at the outskirts of Star City.

"My destined one, we will meet soon..."

Lord Miao turned around and looked towards the top of the tower again.

"When the time comes, how will you choose..."

……

Star City was already in sight, and Su Li and the other two finally arrived at the outskirts of Star City.

But the surrounding area was dead silent. In Xingji’s largest city, no one was wandering around the city, and no one was entering or leaving Xingji.

Su Li had already anticipated that the situation in Star City might not be much better.

At this time, Luo Chen slowly woke up, rubbed his eyes and asked:

"Brother Suli...where is this?"

Muchen also woke up slowly, stretched and yawned.

"Boss, are we there yet?"

Looking at Luo Chen's confused expression, Su Li gently touched her head.

"We've reached the outskirts of Star City. We'll be at the main gate in a little while."

After Luo Chen woke up, he looked at Su Li in shock and touched the places where Su Li had been injured before.

"Brother Suli, are you okay?! That's great, I thought..."

As she spoke, Luo Chen's eyes became red. She still remembered how badly Su Li was injured for her last night.

"Not only me, the little princess's injuries seem to have healed as well."

After hearing Su Li's words, Luo Chen touched the injured area in surprise, and indeed did not feel any pain.

"Really? It's amazing! Who saved us?"

Luo Chen poked out his little head and set his gaze on Muchen behind Su Li, looking at her curiously.

Muchen was only half a head taller than the little princess. She was also looking at the little princess curiously, her heart already melted by this soft child.

Perhaps this moment was the most relaxed time for her all night.

Even when she fell asleep, Muchen would still dream about scenes that she didn't want to recall. She wanted to forget them, but she didn't know how long these nightmares would last.

“I don’t know who helped us.”

Su Li explained: "This girl is someone I met before. Her name is Mu Chen, and she has the same beautiful name as you."

Luo Chen nodded, without taking his eyes off Muchen.

"She's so cute, is she the eldest lady?"

When Mu Chen heard this, his body trembled.

"Little princess, I am a friend of Boss Su Li, and I am an adult, not a child anymore."

Luo Chen retracted his head and his body was completely blocked by Su Li, so that Muchen could no longer observe him at all.

"I understand. Sister Muchen is just like me. She is an adult who can't grow tall."

Muchen ignored the little princess and whispered quietly in Su Li's ear:

"Children are children, don't bother with her."

Su Li hugged Luo Chen and jumped off the horse, saying, "Let's walk the rest of the way."

Muchen nodded and jumped off the horse.

"Brother Suli, is Xingcheng... okay?"
