Genshin Impact [Outsider]

"Little princess, please don't hold out too much hope..."

Su Li sighed softly and looked at the lonely main gate of Star City.

"The scope of this attack may cover the entire Star Era. All we can do is pray and accept it."

Muchen was silent, looking at the Star City in front of him, his mind intermittently recalling the tragic situation in Sand Village.

"If... this place has also become hell, what should we do?"

Su Li turned her gaze towards the peak tower in Star City, vaguely feeling that it was necessary to explore the place.

"If this place really falls, we can only find a way to get to that tower. There may be survivors there."

When they arrived at the main gate of Star City, the three of them had already realized that this was no longer a gathering place for the living...

"Star City..." Luo Chen looked at the desperate people in the city with despair, tears slowly sliding down his cheeks.

"We are powerless..."

Su Li closed her eyes. The worst result still happened. The current Xing Ji could be considered the end of the world.

"How can I save the situation..."

Muchen turned around and stopped looking at Xingcheng, which made her realize that someone seemed to be walking towards her not far away.

"Hey, look..."

Mu Chen patted Su Li on the shoulder, pointed at those people and said, "Someone is coming!"

Su Li looked in the direction Muchen pointed, and sure enough, there were four people walking towards them.

There were three men and one woman, one of whom was tall and strong.

"I always feel like somewhere..."

Su Li suddenly thought of the Star Festival Martial Arts Competition and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"It seems to be the Princess and Hot Pot's group."

After hearing this, Luo Chen looked across in surprise. She immediately jumped excitedly and said, "It's my sister and Hotpot brother!"

Hotpot also noticed the three figures at the main gate of Star City early on.

He was originally curious about who had escaped with the two children, but when he got closer he discovered that the person was Su Li, with whom he had duelled the day before.

Moreover, Su Li also brought back the little princess.

Hotpot waved at them and shouted, "Hey, bro!"

Su Li nodded slightly and walked over with the two little girls.

When Mu Mu saw Su Li, she was shocked at first. After noticing Luo Chen, she rushed directly towards the three people. Even the two imperial guards behind her were startled.

"Little sister!"

Mu Mu rushed directly to Luo Chen and held her in his arms.

"I thought... I would never see you again..."

Luo Chen also hugged Mu Mu's neck excitedly, "Thanks to Brother Su Li, I'm fine. It's great that my sister is fine..."

Hotpot finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two princesses reunited. He turned around, clasped his fists, and saluted Su Li respectfully.

"Thank you for rescuing the little princess. I will recognize you as my good brother from now on!"

Su Li also clasped her fists and bowed, "You are too polite. I have already accepted the responsibility of protecting the little princess. I failed to protect her when she was in the most dangerous time."

“All this is as it should be.”

Hotpot came to Su Li and patted his shoulder.

"From now on, you and I will each protect one, and we'll see who dares to hurt them, haha..."

Mu Mu stood up and bowed to Su Li gracefully.

"No matter what, you are the one who saved the little princess. I, Mu Mu, sincerely thank you."

"Also, please forgive me for my rude remarks to you earlier."

Su Li smiled and said, "I didn't take that matter to heart. Princess, there's no need to be polite."

Mu Mu was touched by Su Li's modest and gentlemanly behavior, and Su Li's broad mind also made him more fond of her.

Mu Mu quietly poked Luo Chen beside him and whispered:

"Little sister, I think he's pretty good. How about I help you two get together?"

Luo Chen's little face turned red all the way to his ears, and he grabbed Mu Mu's skirt with both hands.

"Sister, stop joking..."

Mu Mu smiled evilly, "I'm not kidding, I can help you ask him if he likes the little cutie who never grows up."

"Sister, I will definitely grow taller."

Luo Chen turned his face away and pretended to ignore Mu Mu.

Mu Mu couldn't help but laugh when she saw the shy look on the little princess' face.

Mu Mu knew that Luo Chen had fallen in love with Su Li.

No one knows the little princess better than Mu Mu. She is the person who has been with Luo Chen the longest, and Mu Mu knows Luo Chen's personality and temper very well.

Muchen didn't talk to them. He came to the nearby pond bridge alone and squatted there, staring blankly at the fish in the pond.

Hotpot noticed that Muchen went to the side alone, gestured to Su Li, and said:

"I will take the princesses back to the base to rest first. You will find us after walking along this road for a while."

"Okay then, I'll go talk to Mu Chen first, you guys go first."

Su Li turned around and walked towards Muchen.

Luo Chen looked at Su Li with some reluctance, and she seemed to be hesitating whether to catch up and accompany Su Li.

Mu Mu hugged Luo Chen and led her towards the stronghold.

"Okay, okay, it's not like we're going to say goodbye. He'll be back to see you soon. There's no need to worry."

Luo Chen's cheeks were rosy, and he lowered his head and responded: "Hmm..."

Su Li came to Muchen's side, squatted down and looked at her own reflection.

This was also the first time that Su Li saw his own appearance in this world. At first glance, he was indeed handsome and elegant.

Su Li didn't expect that even her appearance had changed a little in this world, and her already delicate facial features became even more exquisite.

Coming back to his senses, Su Li coughed lightly.

"Little businessman, what's on your mind?"

Muchen kept his eyes fixed on the free fish, his fingers constantly scratching the wet ground.

"When we first met, you called me little boss. Why did you change it to little businessman?"

Su Li smiled and said, "There's not much difference between a businessman and a boss. I accidentally pronounced it as a small businessman before, so I just kept pronouncing it that way."

"Oh……"

Mu Chen didn't look up and asked, "Do you still remember my name?"

"Mu Chen, it has the "Chen" in the character for "Star" just like the little princess. I like this name very much."

Su Li replied. In fact, he was quite surprised that he met three people, Mu Chen, Luo Chen, and Mu Mu.

The three people's names only use two words, and now they are gathered together. I don't know whether to say it is a coincidence or fate.

"I don't have a home anymore..."

Muchen said.

Su Li was stunned for a moment and looked at Muchen, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He knew that Mu Chen had gone through a lot overnight and endured things that she shouldn't have to endure at her age.

Almost everyone in Xingji lost everything overnight...

"I could only watch my mother disappear in front of me..."

Muchen's tears fell drop by drop onto the water, creating ripples.

"I can't do anything... I..."

Su Li sighed and touched Muchen's head.

"It's not your fault..."

Muchen cried even more sadly. She turned around and threw herself into Su Li's arms, her voice hoarse.

"I was trying so hard to hold on... I was praying to God, why... why didn't she help me... why didn't she save us..."

……

Su Li was silent. This disaster came too suddenly, and no one had time to prepare for it...

Their gods have been working hard and doing their best to respond to them.

It was not until Muchen calmed down that he slowly let go of Su Li's hand.

"Do we still have a chance..."

Su Li wiped her tears and smiled: "At least we are still alive. As long as we are alive, there will be a chance."

"…I will return the one million Mora you gave me earlier."

Muchen took out the bill for one million Mora and handed it to Su Li.

"Hmm? I bought your goods, so I should give you the corresponding Mora. It belongs to you."

Su Li did not accept it, but was a little surprised why Muchen suddenly wanted to return Mora to her.

"My horse is not worth so much. I have defrauded you."

Muchen explained and handed the bill to Su Li again.

"Even so, I am willing to pay this one million Mora. To me, Blackie is worth the price."

Su Li still insisted on not accepting it, and there was no talk of asking for Mora back after giving it away.

"If I give Xiao Hei to you..."

Su Li smiled and asked: "Xiao Hei is already mine, how are you going to give him away?"

Mu Chen still refused to give in, and quickly changed his words: "Then I will give myself to you..."

As soon as she said this, she regretted it and her face turned red.

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing Mu Chen at a loss, Su Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Then I'll take that as my meaning. Once you say something, you can't take it back."

"Ah... Boss, I was reckless just now. I apologize..."

Su Li touched Mu Chen's head and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you from now on."

Mu Chen turned his face away, his cheeks already red.

She didn't say anything else, but just stuffed the bill into Su Li's pendant.

Su Li did not refuse this time, but just smiled and teased:

"From now on, what's yours is mine. I'll help you save this one million Moras."

Mu Chen just glanced at Su Li and his mood was no longer so low.

"I know, you rascal."

"Whatever you say, I won't argue with you, little girl."

Mu Chen was just about to stand up and retort, but he had been squatting for too long and his legs were already numb.

Muchen felt his legs go limp and he fell towards the pond. The only thing he could think of was the bitter words "this is terrible".

But the next second, Su Li reached out and grabbed Mu Chen's waist and hugged her back.

"Want to learn how to swim in water like a fish?"

Muchen stood up in a panic, and his legs were numb for a while before he recovered.

"My legs are numb. I was just careless..."

Of course Su Li knew it, but she just wanted to use this to tease Mu Chen and divert her attention from her sadness.

"Little girl, I took what I just said seriously. I wasn't kidding you."

"It's up to you!"

Muchen turned around and walked towards Xiao Hei who was looking for food.

"The base is over there, come with me to meet new friends."

Muchen did not turn around, nor did he pay any attention to Su Li.

Su Li followed, "Are you angry, little girl? I didn't do anything, let alone bully you."

"Boss, I just held Xiao Hei's hand, that's why I'm not angry..."
