Genshin Impact: I will turn into a breeze and continue to blow over Mondstadt

Just as Paimon and Ying looked at each other and wanted to say something.

"Look over there." Lao Meng said suddenly.

The cave at the end of the small pond was emitting a faint white light. Seeing this, everyone did not stay for too long and walked towards the cave entrance one after another.

Entering the cave, the light instantly became brighter, and a vast expanse of space appeared before my eyes, as if I were in another world.

There is a white dot hanging high on the top of the cave, like a bright sun, illuminating the entire cave like daylight.

And in the center of this space, there stands an extremely huge dead tree. Its trunk is thick and twisted, and its bark is cracked, revealing an endless breath of death.

It has experienced the baptism of a long time here and witnessed countless cycles of life and death. Around the dead tree, several mottled human figures are looming in this world.

"Wow, is this the border..." Looking at the scene in front of him, Yingfa was shocked from the bottom of his heart.

"How is it, is this the place, Brother Wolf?" Walnut asked the boy, and the boy nodded.

As his gaze moved around, it finally locked onto Lao Meng and did not leave his gaze for a long time.

"Why? I have already sent you back, and now your friends have seen you. Do you still have any obsessions?" Walnut looked at the boy and asked.

In this land of life and death, those who appear are all people who still have a lingering attachment to the human world. Because they are reluctant to leave, they stop at the border of life and death...

"No, actually it's gone. Thank you for being so tolerant of me along the way..." The boy raised his head and looked at Ying, Paimeng, Hu Tao, Qianyu, Lao Meng and Boyang in front of him.

"It's just that when the time comes to say goodbye, it's still a little bit..." Halfway through his words, the boy couldn't help sobbing.

As a teardrop fell, five shadows gradually emerged on the originally calm ground.

"Huh?" Paimeng felt a little surprised when he saw this scene.

At this moment, Qianyu could feel that the earth vein power in the boy's body had become violent at some point.

"This is..." Old Meng looked at the person in front of him, and childhood memories came to him...

"Haha, it's another Lantern Festival." The ethereal voice of one of the phantoms reached everyone's ears.

“I really hope to go see the lights one day.”

"You can make a wish without a lamp. This is what my mother told me. As long as you shout it out loud, your dream will come true in the future." The shadow of a girl said slowly.

"Ah? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to shout it out..."

"Huh? How could this be? Brother Wolf, you are too shy," said the shadow of Lao Meng as a child.

"I think you need someone to help you start. As long as everyone starts shouting, you won't be shy." said another phantom.

"That……"

After the words were spoken, the five phantoms shook hands, their faces filled with happiness.

"I want to be a businessman," said the boy.

"I want to be a chef," said another boy.

“Then I want to learn how to make sky lanterns, so that everyone can make a wish on this day every year!” said the girl.

"What about you, Lao Meng, Brother Wolf?"

However, in the end, the shadow gradually dissipated, leaving behind the boy's lonely figure.

"Those shadows have all disappeared," Paimon said.

“I miss it so much. That was the last time we celebrated the Lantern Festival…” Lao Meng looked into the distance, memories gleaming in his eyes, his voice full of emotion and nostalgia.

"yes……"

"Unconsciously, we have all grown up..." the boy said softly, tears gradually blurring his eyes.

He gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he wanted to keep the longing for the past in his heart.

"...It's great to see you all grow up and realize your childhood dreams one by one." The boy raised his head slightly and glanced at everyone, his eyes full of emotion.

He clenched his hands, and his illusory figure kept shaking, as if trying to restrain his inner excitement. At this moment, Qianyu took out the Xiaodeng from the void and gently handed it to the boy.

“Since you are reluctant to leave, how about releasing the sky lanterns one last time with your old friends?” Qianyu said with a smile. The breeze brushed through his hair, bringing a hint of fresh air.

"Eh? Qianyu, where did you get this Xiao Lantern?" Paimeng came over curiously and stared at the Xiao Lantern in Qianyu's hand with wide eyes.

Hu Tao also showed a look of surprise, staring at the Xiaodeng in Qianyu's hand, trying to find the answer from it.

"Well... hey." Qianyu smiled mischievously. Instead of answering her question directly, she handed the Xiaodeng to the boy.

At this moment, Lao Meng and the boy were standing on the farthest stone slab.

"Brother Wolf, let's come together." Old Meng gently bent down and held the sky lantern with the boy's hands.

As the two of them gently exerted force with their hands, they saw the lantern gradually flying towards the sky and getting farther and farther away.

Seeing this scene, the boy started sobbing again.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry to everyone, because I have caused you all trouble..." The boy cried, and all of a sudden the loneliness of many years came to his heart.

"But I really want to be able to grow up with you and realize those dreams together..."

"...Actually, I'm just afraid. I'm afraid that after all this, I'll forget you..."

"No, no, no matter when, we will never forget each other." Lao Meng lowered his head and looked at the crying boy.

"Even if time brings us the shackles of memories, as long as the light in our hearts is still there, we are all together..."

At this moment, the corners of Lao Meng's eyes gradually became moist, and behind Lao Meng, the shadow of his childhood appeared again.

"Meng, what's your wish?"

"My wish?" The boy held his head and thought for a moment.

“My wish is that one day in the future, we can all get together and light midnight lanterns!”

In the air, as the sky lantern turned into a dot among countless white lights, a relieved smile appeared on the boy's lips.

"Thank you, Lao Meng..."

"... and Xiaowu, Mumu, Congzi, I will never forget you..."

After that, the boy's figure gradually disappeared, and countless stars in the sky shuttled freely, leaving with the breeze, like the sky lanterns flying farther and farther away...

"…Although I can't reach the future of your dreams with you, I will never leave…"

As the boy's last words faded away, Lao Meng instantly collapsed to the ground, with a complex emotion spreading in his heart...
