Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

"I won't be taking any business these days, and of course, I won't be seeing anyone."

Chapter 47 Inazuma: I Absolutely Must Go

The sky was no longer a suffocating purple; the dark clouds were thick but not gathered, and the moonlight could be seen at a glance.

Mu Xian lay on the deck, quietly gazing at the moon.

The moon, hanging high in the sky, was mostly missing, and all that could be seen were the waves crashing against the ship.

It's that same tranquility, like returning to the earth's veins.

Mu Xian would often enter this state during these times, which made him think.

Should I die and return to the ley lines?

Thinking of this, Mu Xian thought of Hu Tao again, and suddenly felt conflicted.

But the next second, the inner turmoil vanished.

Since Hu Tao was corrupted by the filth of the abyss because of me, I will naturally help her cleanse her body of the filth.

After that, we'll see if there's an opportunity.

I instinctively reached for my wrist, but didn't find my usual bracelet.

Mu Xian then remembered that he had given the bracelet to Zhong Li before leaving Li Yue.

A sense of loss welled up in Mu Xian's heart; for the first time, he felt that this tranquility was somewhat boring.

Mu Xian suddenly wanted to find Bei Dou and have a word with the eldest sister.

As I stood up from the deck, a current of electricity coursed through my body from the bottom up, and the sudden tension made the hairs on my body stand on end.

It seemed to sense danger, but something was different.

Mu Xian frowned, catching a certain gaze falling on him.

Following the gaze, Mu Xian saw a figure wearing a cloak in the darkness.

Although the person was wearing a cloak, Mu Xian felt a strange sense of familiarity towards him.

Just like...

"Southern Cross has taken on a big job: escorting a nobleman from Mondstadt to Inazuma."

Nobility? How many families in Mondstadt can be called nobles?

Realizing something, Mu Xian took a step back and turned to leave the deck of the Death Star.

Mu Xian's gaze turned slightly cold. The cloaked figure's identity prevented Mu Xian from doing anything to her, and all he could do was try to stay away.

"Mu Xian..."

The voice came from the cloak, and compared to more than ten years ago, it was less piercingly sharp and more worn down by time; the voice even trembled slightly.

He was nothing like the domineering person Mu Xian remembered.

But Mu Xian did not stop; in fact, he quickened his pace.

No matter what, I don't want to be thrown out by her, nor do I want to have anything to do with her.

But in the end, Mu Xian stopped, because the cloaked figure appeared in front of him even faster.

"Mu Xian..."

She took off her cloak, revealing a face that hadn't changed much from Mu Xian's memory.

"It's Mommy, it's me, Mommy!"

Frey trembled, gripping Mu Xian's other hand tightly with one hand.

She couldn't contain her excitement, and it showed in her tone: "So...so you've grown up so much."

Thinking about it, she wanted to hug Mu Xian without hesitation.

But in a moment of misalignment, Frey missed her target.

Doubt, confusion, and then the fear of guessing what was going on.

Frey looked at Mu Xian, who had taken a step back, and gripped his hand even tighter.

The pain in his right hand made Mu Xian frown, his tone carrying a hint of detachment.

"Madam, you must have mistaken me for someone else."

As Mu Xian spoke, he tried to pull his hand away from Frey's.

But who could have imagined that Frey would seize this opportunity to grab Mu Xian's other hand?

"I won't admit my mistake."

Frey's eyes lit up with the familiar determination Mu Xian had shown: "Mu Xian, shall we go home...?"

"No matter what, let's go home first, okay?"

"We've always kept your room at home, and we've always been waiting for you to come back."

"This time, Mom won't leave you outside again, and she won't let you leave again."

...

The mother in front of him was no longer as domineering as Mu Xian remembered; her tone seemed to be filled with only earnest concern.

Mu Xian used to constantly wish that her mother really was like that.

But right now, Mu Xian doesn't feel much.

"lady."

Mu Xian's eyes remained cold: "My name is Hu Muxuan, not the Mu Xian you're talking about."

“I also know the guy that the lady was talking about, after all, we look so alike.”

Mu Xian forced a smile, though it was unclear how unsightly that forced smile actually was.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask other people."

A series of words calmed Frey down.

She slowly released her grip on Mu Xian's hand, but her eyes still held suspicion.

"I see."

Despite saying that, Frey was still looking at Mu Xian: "I was being presumptuous in this matter, and I apologize to you, sir."

Seeing Frey staring at him, Mu Xian instinctively tried to look away.

But the next second he suddenly remembered that subconscious little action he had made at Wanmintang, and he stopped abruptly.

Although he felt extremely uncomfortable, Mu Xian kept staring at Frey.

Watching the sharpness in Frey's eyes gradually fade, turning into melancholy, before finally looking away.

"Then, sir..."

Frey spoke, her voice tinged with disappointment: "Since you know my son, can you tell me about him?"

Just as Mu Xian opened his mouth, a voice from the side interrupted him.

"Mu Xian? I think I hear a familiar name."

Beidou was still wearing that burgundy outfit, leaning against the side of a room not far away.

Beidou glanced at Mu Xian, then looked at Frey: "So, he used to be one of my crew members."

"crew?"

Beidou's words made Frey forget about Mu Xian's questionable identity and turn to look at Beidou: "Where is Mu Xian now? Is he Inazuma?"

"Inazuma?" Hokuto suddenly paused, his gaze inadvertently drifting towards Mu Xian.

But Mu Xian looked away and silently left the deck.

She was quite impolite in dumping the mess on him, which immediately annoyed him, and he turned his attention back to Frey.

"I don't know where he is now."

Beidou paused, feigning disappointment: "But I hope he's in Inazuma."

"Hope?" Frey's eyes darted away, and she suddenly realized that something was off about Beidou's words.

"Five years ago, our fleet was shipwrecked, and that shipwreck left me unconscious for several days."

"When I woke up, people said that the culprit who caused the shipwreck had been shot down in the Yunlai Sea."

Memories are ultimately real, and Beidou's tone became heavy with these memories.

"I don't know how a shipwreck caused by a sea monster could have a culprit, and that culprit even saved everyone on board."

"He was wronged, convicted like that, and disappeared into the sea of ​​Yunlai."

"I think... you should have guessed who that person is by now."

Beidou's words felt like a heavy blow to Frey's brain.

She held her head, staggering to keep from falling.

Frey was breathing heavily, and it took her a long time to calm herself down.

“A lie?” Frey squinted. “You’re lying to me.”

"I would never stoop to lying."

Beidou was extremely calm. She was indeed not lying, but she also did not utter a single word about death.

Frey closed her eyes, her two clenched fists trembling uncontrollably.

After taking several deep breaths, Frey opened her eyes again, and the light emanating from them immediately made Beidou's expression turn serious.

It was like facing that sea monster all over again.

"It's just one side of the story, only one side of the story."

Frey quickly looked away: "No matter what, I have to go, Inazuma."
