Genshin Impact [Outsider]

"Maybe I'm too strict."

Bingji looked at Mu Mu's happy expression and sighed slowly.

The more you want to protect someone, the easier it is to lose them.

The Tower of Star City is located in the inner circle of Star City. Except for the Desperate Ones, Su Li did not encounter any difficult enemies on the way.

Arriving at the entrance of the Star City Tower, Su Li took a deep breath and looked towards the top of the tower with determination.

But after climbing for a while, Su Li began to feel pain. He raised his head and looked at the spiral staircase that seemed to have no end in sight, his eyes full of pain.

"Why build such a tall tower..."

Despite her complaints, Su Li still climbed for nearly half an hour before finally reaching the entrance to the top of the tower.

But before Su Li stepped out of the stairs, a person came to the door and blocked her way.

"Stop, stranger, this is not the place for you."

Su Li took a breath and looked up at the man.

The man was wearing a purple-black coat and had a purple divine eye on his waist. At this moment, he was looking at Su Li with a cold and blank look.

Su Li took out the Xing Mo Li flower from the brocade bag, handed it to the man and said, "I'm looking for Master Miao."

The man took the Xingmo Lihua and looked at it carefully. After making sure it was not a sample, he returned it to Su Li.

"Come up, and please leave after meeting Master Wanmiao."

Su Li followed the man to the top of the tower. Looking around, she saw a circular disk with a huge space on it.

With strange flower pots everywhere, unique pavilions for people to rest, mysterious runes carved all over the ground, and small palaces that can be lived in, this place is simply like a private garden.

A dignified young girl was sitting on a floral chair, looking into the distance with a serious expression.

Su Li recognized this figure. She was exactly the same as the demon who summoned her, but Su Li could not sense any familiar aura from her.

"Master Miao, a guest is here to visit."

The man brought Su Li to Miao Qing and then left.

Miao Qing turned around, and after seeing Su Li, her heavy expression relaxed a lot. She stood up and said with a smile: "You are finally here."

"You are Miao Qing...right?"

Su Li observed the girl in front of her closely. Not only her name, but also her appearance was exactly the same as that of the demon.

"You're surprised, aren't you?"

Miao Qing spread out her left hand, and on her palm was embedded a blue energy crystal.

"As you can see, I'm just a puppet powered by energy, so there's no need to be surprised."

"Human, puppet?" Su Li sorted out his thoughts a little. This explanation did make sense, otherwise Su Li would definitely insist that she was fooling him.

"I am just one of the parts of myself that separated and was responsible for governing the Star Rule. I already knew about your deeds."

As Miao Qing spoke, she took out two sets of teacups from the tea table behind her and slowly poured the fragrant tea into them.

"This is made from the finest tea leaves. Try it."

Miao Qing picked up a cup and handed it to Su Li, then asked Su Li to sit in another guest chair.

Su Li took a sip of the tea. The tea tasted fragrant, slightly bitter at first but then slightly sweet. It was indeed much better than she had imagined.

"Thank you, it's good tea."

After taking two more sips, Su Li asked, "So do you understand why I'm here?"

Miao Qing shook her head and responded, "That depends on what you're asking."

Su Li hesitated for a moment, then decided to ask, "Is there any way to save Xing Ji?"

Miao Qing just smiled and responded: "Is that so... If you want to save Xing Ji, you must have the power to rival the demon god."

"How can I get this power?"

"Go to the Sand Region and find the Little Wisdom Fruit Queen. She will give you the answer."

Miao Qing said, sighing slightly, all this progress had not changed.

Su Li saw that Miao Qing seemed a little disappointed, so she continued to ask, "Do you know what kind of weapon Xingli Flower Blade is?"

This time, Miao Qing's expression brightened, and she asked with a hint of joy: "You already know that you have this weapon?"

Su Li nodded and replied: "Yes, I need it to cut off the false dreams."

Miao Qing looked at Su Li's serious expression and slowly took a sip of tea.

"It seems you know everything, but have you thought it through?"

Miao Qing continued, "You once refused to face reality in order to evade responsibility, but now you are trying to break free and go back there. Are you really ready to face reality?"

Su Li nodded slowly, "At least now, I don't think I will give up real life easily. I want to face it head on."

"Even if you might regret it the next time you face it, will you still do this?"

"Yes, how can I protect the real them here?"

Miao Qing nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at the boundless suburbs.

"It seems that the Huiguo is useless. Mu Mu will have to make this trip in vain."

"Huiguo?" Su Li was a little curious. He remembered that Hotpot had boasted about this to him before.

"To go to the Sand Region, you need this fruit as a pass. Now you can only eat it as a fruit."

Miao Qing said this, then looked up at the Sun God on the top of the tower.

"I guess she will be here in a while, so let's enjoy the present time before going back."

"What will happen after this?"

Su Li still didn't know what he had experienced in the Sand Region, nor did he know what happened afterwards.

Although he would be able to remember it once he returned to reality, he still wanted to know a thing or two in advance. After all, sometimes it was necessary to get a vaccination.

"After this, it will be the end. The enemy is much stronger than we imagined."

As Miao Qing spoke, she slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the disc to look at the earth.

“It will all be over and our footprints will be washed away.”

Su Li looked down at the stronghold from the top of the tower. Looking from such a high position, it seemed so small.

“Can you tell me about this world?”

Miao Qing turned around and looked at Su Li, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. She asked, "Do you like this world?"

Su Li answered affirmatively: "Although I don't belong here, I really like it."

"Well, I'm sure Teyvat will welcome you as well."

As Miao Qing spoke, she slowly came to Su Li and gently placed her right hand on Su Li's chest.

"But first, let me help you sense her presence."

"she?"

"Please close your eyes and feel it."

Su Li didn't ask any more questions and immediately closed her eyes, feeling the warmth from Miao Qing's fingertips.

Faintly, a gentle force slowly injected into the body. Su Li followed the guidance of this force and gradually felt the veins throughout the body.

The power contained in Suli's body is very unique. It does not belong to the power of the seven elements, but it can be integrated with the power of the seven elements.

As he continued to go deeper in the huge energy torrent, Su Li vaguely felt a strange energy beginning to gather in his body.

Is that... a flower?

Su Li clearly felt that the emerging power in her body slowly gathered into the shape of a flower, and then dispersed into countless meridians throughout her body.

At this moment, Su Li clearly felt that a change was taking place in her body, and a burning sensation gradually developed in her left wrist.

Then a crisp tinnitus sounded in my mind, and countless knowledge began to pour into my brain frantically.

At the end of consciousness, a petite figure appeared faintly. Through the irregular flow of fog, Su Li could only barely see the little girl smiling at him.

But then, Su Li felt a sharp pain in her heart, which became stronger and stronger, as if being stabbed by a knife. Su Li was almost unable to breathe due to the torture.

Enduring the physical torture, Su Li's consciousness fell into endless darkness, with ghost cries and wails constantly echoing in his mind.

"Why...what gives you the right?!"

“Ah—wuwu…”

"You are a sinner, you deserve to die--!"

……

Countless curses and cries lingered in his ears, and Su Li felt as if his head was about to explode with unbearable pain.

But even so, he remained motionless, but his body was already soaked in sweat and his expression was extremely painful.

It lasted for a while, and Su Li felt a warm current sweeping through her body. The feeling of depression and pain disappeared instantly, and then her body felt extremely relaxed.

Su Li could feel that the flower had taken root in her body and its meridians were spread all over her body. It was precisely because of this new power that the restless energy turbulence in her body was suppressed.

Finally, a weapon slowly appeared in my mind.

It was an extremely elegant long sword, with a handle made of flower vines, a blade engraved with star patterns, and countless emerald stars lingering around the weapon.

There are six petal patterns on the grip of this weapon, one of which is glowing slightly.

"Okay, I think you can feel it."

Miao Qing looked at Su Li, she could clearly feel that the aura Su Li exuded had completely changed.

Su Li slowly opened her eyes and looked around. The new power flowing into her body seemed to have magical power, allowing Su Li to feel the life breath of every plant.

Su Li subconsciously raised her right hand, and at this moment the emerald green light on the bracelet was flickering faintly.

"This is, the power of grass element?!"

Su Li looked at the bracelet in surprise, and then gathered this power into her body. The next second Su Li was completely dumbfounded.

The power of the grass element and the new power that surged into Suli's body were actually the same elemental power!

But Su Li could clearly feel that there was still a difference between the two forces, and the power in her body was much stronger than the grass elemental power given by the bracelet.

Su Li slowly stretched out her hand towards a flower bud that had not yet bloomed, and then a miracle happened. The bud bloomed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Su Li stared blankly at the beautiful flower in front of her, feeling indescribably excited.

Miao Qing also nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Su Li: "Now try to summon your weapon."

Su Li began to imagine the long sword that appeared in his mind, slowly gathering new strength in his body, and a weapon began to appear in his hand.

When the weapon was fully revealed, Su Li looked at the weapon in his hand in surprise. This was exactly the weapon he saw in his mind.

Miao Qing also looked at the weapon with some surprise, and muttered to herself thoughtfully: "The level of this weapon...even the demon god may not have it."

"Is this Xingli Flower Blade?"

Su Li tried wielding the new weapon twice. It felt light and comfortable, and every swing was accompanied by a green sword shadow and subtle foam.

And it seemed to have some kind of magical power. As long as Su Li didn't want to let go, it would not be thrown away.
