Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

The sunlight fell on the lawn, but there was no familiar figure in sight.

A hint of melancholy flashed in Amber's eyes as she looked at Cole again and shook her head.

"I am okay."

Amber lowered her eyes and then said, "I was just thinking about some things from the past."

Cole wanted to say something more, but his gaze suddenly stopped when he saw the figure behind Amber.

The figure in her eyes felt increasingly familiar to Cole, and she soon realized who it was.

"Amber, do you remember the kind person I told you about yesterday?"

Chapter 169 Who is the boss of this area?

"Amber, do you remember the kind person I told you about yesterday?"

The figure was right behind Amber, and Cory wanted to point at it.

But as soon as he raised his right hand, he quickly put it down again.

after all...

After all, Cole and he had no connection, and Cole had no need to introduce Amber to him.

Moreover, Amber was already in a bad mood, and Cole didn't want to make her even worse.

However, Cole's hesitation caught Amber's attention.

"Colette, is that what you're trying to say?"

Amber looked down at Cole with a puzzled expression.

"No."

All I could see was Ke Lai waving her hand and shaking her head; she didn't say the rest of her sentence.

However, Amber was, after all, a scout knight of Mondstadt, and she quickly noticed Krystal's gaze.

Cole's gaze wasn't directed at Amber herself, but rather at what was behind her.

Having noticed these things, Cole quickly turned around.

The gaze sweeping behind him showed little curiosity, and even the pupils of his eyes held little interest.

Until a figure came into Amber's view in the distance.

The appearance of the figure made Amber stop scanning.

It wasn't just scanning; Amber also made various movements.

Amber seemed to be frozen in place by an elemental reaction, completely immobilized.

This is not Amber's fault. The figure in her line of sight drew everyone's attention to her, leaving her with no other focus to do anything else.

"Big brother?!"

The initial confusion turned into surprise, and even the disappointed eyes lit up.

In Cole's eyes, Amber seemed to have become the same as before.

However, it's also somewhat different.

Amber used to be radiant, and she used that radiance to illuminate everyone.

Although Amber is still radiating light, Cory doesn't feel any warmth from that light at all.

Because Amber focused the light on a certain spot, and then shone it directly on the figure of the kind person in the distance.

—Wait, did Amber say something?

When Cole realized what was happening, he looked at Amber, but Amber's gaze was fixed on the distance, as if she were being hooked.

"Amber, do you know that kind person..."

Before Cole could even finish speaking, he saw Amber walk in that direction.

She walked faster and faster, and Amber even started running.

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Cory rushed toward the figure and quickly chased after Amber.

But Cole's frail body was no match for Amber's.

Just as he was watching Amber grow further and further away from him, he saw Amber suddenly stop.

Amber's sudden stop caught Cole off guard.

Just as she caught up and was about to ask what was going on, she noticed a figure in the distance glancing in their direction.

Those eyes were still as cold as when Cole first met them.

However, it was no longer just indifference; it seemed to carry some other emotions.

It seems to be an emotion like irritability...

Before Cole could figure out if this feeling was irritability, the figure in the distance had already looked away.

He flicked the long pole in his hand, and a ripple spread across the water in front of him.

That's the sound of bait hitting the water.

The commotion did not disturb the fish swimming in the water.

The baited hook floated on the surface of the water and soon attracted a large fish.

There's a reason why big fish can grow so large.

It didn't immediately take the bait in front of it, but cautiously probed it from both sides.

Mu Xian stared at the large fish beneath the water's surface, deliberately suppressing his aura to a minimum.

During the time when Mu Xian went down the mountain to fight for justice in order to save the Gu Hua Sect, he gradually came to understand the Liyue proverb "the older the moon gets, the more spirits it becomes".

This proverb applies not only to humans, but also to some animals living in the wild.

Animals may not be as intelligent as humans, but that doesn’t mean their intelligence won’t grow over time.

Because they live in environments where they could lose their lives at any moment, their perception of danger has reached a level comparable to that of a god.

The large fish in front of him was clearly one of these "old guys," but it was no big deal to Mu Xian.

Mu Xian had also developed this same intuition for danger and knew how to deal with these "old guys".

There are two ways.

Try to outlast it with patience, or simply pull it out without hesitation and kill it before it senses the danger.

A few days ago, Mu Xian would likely have chosen the latter.

As for now...

Although the two people in the distance annoyed Mu Xian, he preferred to wait quietly for the big fish in front of him to take the bait.

If it dies, Mu Xian doesn't know what else he can do to pass the time.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Xian could hear two footsteps behind him.

The footsteps stopped not far behind him, but Mu Xian did not turn around to look at the two people behind him.

His attention remained focused on the water ahead.

A series of ripples appeared on the water's surface.

The ripples only meant one thing: the big fish had finally taken the bait.

Mu Xian did not immediately lift the rod, but instead continued to wait.

Waiting for the big fish to taste the bait and feel the pain from the hook.

Soon, the big fish, feeling the pain, began to struggle, its immense strength even bending the fishing rod.

The bent fishing rod gave the impression that it might break at any moment, a feeling that made Amber want to walk towards Mu Xian.

She wanted to help Mu Xian, but Mu Xian seemed to have eyes in the back of his head and turned to look behind him.

His indifferent gaze fixed on Amber, like a cold nail pinning her firmly to the spot.

Amber felt the heat from the nail, which made her feel much colder.

She wanted to say something, but saw that Mu Xian had already turned his gaze back.

Suddenly, Mu Xian pulled the fishing rod in his hand...

click!

As expected, the makeshift fishing rod was suddenly pulled in half by Mu Xian's strength.

But Mu Xian's strength had already been transmitted through the fishing rod to the fishing line.

The big fish that took the bait was forced to leap out of the water by inertia, and its scales shimmered in the sunlight.

It was quickly and firmly grasped by Mu Xian's right hand, its tail still struggling desperately in Mu Xian's hand.

Mu Xian saw no use in this struggle.

Like holding onto a sword hilt that hadn't been knocked off for many years, Mu Xian held onto the big fish firmly.

Pinch the big fish's mouth with your thumb and forefinger, and you'll see that the fishhook has pulled a long, bloody line down its throat.

Although it wasn't fatal, I know just how painful it was.

"It's not easy to grow up like this, so consider it a lesson learned."

Mu Xian lowered his head and spoke to the big fish in his hand, then pulled the fishhook out of the fish's mouth.

"Here... just surviving is not easy."

The fish tail that was waving in his hand slowly stopped struggling, as if this fish that had become a spirit had sensed Mu Xian's kindness.

It stared blankly at Mu Xian with its fish-like eyes, and even spat out bubbles covered in blood.

However, this action seemed particularly awkward to Mu Xian.

Mu Xian, having removed the fishhook, ignored the wound in the fish's mouth and casually tossed it onto the water.

Water splashed everywhere as the big fish swam and swayed in the water.
