Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

Mu Xian blinked slowly, and the reflection on the water remained unchanged.

Linghua's words had moved Mu Xian many times in the past.

Perhaps because he had been moved so much, Mu Xian didn't react much at the moment.

"Miss Ayaka..."

The memories in his mind and those of Linghua led Mu Xian to say a few more words to her.

The content of his words was as cold as his tone.

"Don't you think this is tiring?"

"If you have no feelings for me, don't pretend to like me."

"Disguise?"

These words caused Ayaka's feigned smile to crumble in that instant.

"How could this be a disguise?"

The unease in her heart turned into panic, and the panic made Linghua want to grab Mu Xian.

However, the sound of a sword being drawn from its sheath made Ayaka stop in her tracks.

She looked at the sword tip pointing at her; it was the katana she had given to Mu Xian.

Linghua's gaze shifted from the tip of the knife to Mu Xian's eyes, and the coldness within them stung her.

"I was thinking of making some more lingan fragrance, but it seems they don't want to pay for it..."

"Miss, you've probably gotten used to me doing a lot of difficult things for you just by pretending."

"Since that's the case... then let's do it the same as before."

The blade vibrated against the air as Mu Xian pressed it to his side.

He looked at Linghua and slowly said, "Let's have a sword fight. Whoever wins will get to do what's in it."

That was a fierce aura that Mu Xian had never shown to Ling Hua before.

Linghua remained silent, her head bowed, unsure of why she had become like this.

It's only been two months, how come everything has changed?

—Since the Eye Hunt Order has already been decided, I will be with Mu Xian.

Why did it turn out like this?

—Mu Xianjun...

—Mu Xianjun!!!

The girl, who had already made up her mind, looked up and stared at Mu Xian.

"Mu Xianjun..."

Linghua spoke up, "Is it really the same as before?"

"If I win... you'll promise me anything."

Mu Xian did not answer, but looked at his opponent with anticipation.

To Mu Xian, she is now just an opponent.

"So I won't lose!"

The girl spoke, her eyes gradually becoming serious.

"I have received the complete Kasato-ryu katana technique from Ayaka Kasato. I am reporting for duty!"

The sound and the wind blew together, and Mu Xian appeared in front of Ling Hua in the next instant.

The falling blade carried a sense of weight, a weight that made Bu Yanshan seem unstoppable.

Mu Xian's right foot shattered the ice crystals that had formed on the ground, but the unspoken kindness he had just unleashed struck empty air.

The ice crystal fragments behind her slowly condensed into a human figure. Ayaka held the Tenmoku Kagetachi in both hands at her sides, but the Kagetachi remained unsheathed.

The sword is not drawn, but danger may not still be lurking in the scabbard.

The Shinri-ryu style is a sword technique that uses feints and real attacks to gain the upper hand. Perhaps, apart from the two siblings, Mu Xian is the person who understands it best.

As for Shinri-ryu... Mu Xian knows a little bit about it too.

Ayaka drew her sword very quickly; the flash of light passed before her eyes, and she could already hear the sound of the sword being sheathed.

In a sword fight, the winner is the one who knocks the sword out of their opponent's hand; Ayaka's goal is the same.

Therefore, these two slashes were delivered with less force.

After all, Ayaka didn't want to hurt Mu Xian.

However, to Linghua's surprise, the blade flashed across Mu Xian's body without any obstruction.

Before Linghua could stop, she saw Mu Xian's body being sliced ​​into pieces by the blade.

—Was that...an illusion?

Linghua quickly realized what was happening, and a blue patterned folding fan appeared out of thin air in her hand.

The power of ice element gathered on the frame of the folding fan, and then it was swung to the side...

Blizzard-like ice crystals and flames collided, and a bright yellow scabbard suddenly appeared at the intersection of these two forces.

The sudden appearance of the scabbard made Ayaka realize something was wrong, and she quickly raised her sword to parry.

clang!

The scabbard and the shadow sword in Ayaka's hand flew into the air.

When both landed simultaneously, the power of the intertwined ice and fire had vanished.

Ayaka looked at the tip of the knife pointing at her, while the weapon in her hand had already been knocked away.

—We lost...

Even when I'm really serious, I lose even faster than before.

-so...

Linghua looked up and saw that Mu Xian had already sheathed Bu Yanshan.

"It seems that the thing you asked me to do can perhaps be done by someone else."

"According to the old rules, you should grant me one request."

Mu Xian looked at Ling Hua, but did not reach out to help her up as he had done before.

"I need some lingoic acid."

"And after that, you shouldn't pretend to like me anymore."

"I'm pretty tired of seeing that."

After a pause, Mu Xian continued.

"You must admire that traveler."

"You certainly don't want him to think that you and I have any relationship, do you?"

Mu Xian finished speaking with his eyes lowered.

He discovered that the sentence was not as difficult to say as he had imagined.

Even after saying those words, I could feel a long-lost sense of relief.

Looking up at the sky, Mu Xian, who was about to leave, suddenly found his clothes being tugged.

He turned around, and the girl suddenly threw herself into his arms.

"Mu Xianjun..."

The unarmed girl seemed more vulnerable than ever before.

"I've always loved you..."

"I've always loved you!"

I'm sorry I rejected you before...

"I refuse to let you fly a kite in the desolate sea, I refuse to let you watch fireworks on a remote island, I refuse to let you pray at a shrine..."

"I really want to do these things with Mu Xianjun too."

"And there are so many places I want to go with Mu Xian-jun, so many things I want to do with him..."

"Going to summer festivals together, visiting our parents together, and..."

“The ema clearly shows what the two of us will look like in the future.”

"We were supposed to be lovers..."

"leave me alone!!"

An angry voice interrupted Ayaka's words.

Even though Linghua clung tightly to Mu Xian, she was still shoved away by a brute force.

The girl, who had fallen to the ground, looked at the figure in front of her, and a look of disgust crept into the figure's eyes.

An emotional outburst made Mu Xian look at another version of himself in his line of sight.

Mu Xian closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, he had returned to his previous indifference.

"It's always like this. Why do you always pretend to like me like that?"

As he spoke, Mu Xian quickly looked away.

"Never mind, she's the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family..."

"Playing a role..."

Ayaka Kamisato trembled, her eyes already filled with tears as she looked up.

"Mu Xianjun... this is not fake."

She slowly stood up from the ground and took off the rope that tied her hair into a ponytail.
