Genshin Impact: The Vision of Gods Shines Again

...

Memories, like nightmares, jol the dreamer awake.

His pale face also showed some dark purple veins.

The girl gasped for breath, and everything in her dream made her grab onto the camphor wood plank beside her.

A few seconds later, golden light slowly enveloped the girl, and she gradually calmed down.

"Are you okay?"

A man's voice came from the shadows, and Zhong Li, who was in the corner, opened his eyes.

Hu Tao did not answer, but forced a smile at Zhong Li, her gaze quickly falling on her right hand.

The back of my right hand, which was holding the nanmu wood, was no longer smooth as before; it was black and grotesque, as if it had been scorched by fire.

Hu Tao stared blankly at the back of her hand, seemingly lost in thought.

"Do not worry."

Zhongli guessed what Hu Tao was thinking and said, "He'll be fine."

"And minor injuries of this severity will heal very quickly."

As he spoke, Zhongli looked at something in his hand.

This is a wooden glass lily, with its last petal fallen to the ground.

These are a pair of twin mechanisms given to Zhongli by an old friend, one for the mother and one for the child.

No matter how far apart they are, for every petal that blooms in the child organ, a petal falls from the mother organ.

Until the sub-organs are in full bloom and the mother organ has completely withered.

"He'll be back soon."

Zhongli put away the mechanism in his hand.

"Master, it seems I have to return to Liyue first."

...

Mu Xian saw the tavern on the Liyue docks again.

Compared to a few days ago, there is now an extra wooden board next to the tavern.

The wooden boards were covered with advertisements for various shops.

Although the Hall of Rebirth doesn't need any advertising, Mu Xian still noticed a line of large characters on it.

[Stay tuned for half-price cremation]

Next to the Hall of Rebirth is an advertisement for the Hall of Ten Thousand People.

[Master Mao's cooking, melts in your mouth]

Compared to advertising slogans that reference various allusions, these few large characters seem simple and easy to understand.

However, it was precisely because the slogans were easy to understand that they had some counterproductive effects.

After glancing at the advertisement for Wanmintang next door, Mu Xian tore off the sign for "Half-price Cremation".

"You brat, you're back now, aren't you going to come have a few drinks with me?"

Mu Xian decisively rejected Bei Dou's invitation and walked towards Wang Sheng Tang while clutching the advertisement in his hand.

Mu Xian walked faster than usual and soon arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

The doors to the Hall of Rebirth were still tightly closed, just as before.

Mu Xian glanced at the gate briefly, and after not seeing the young lady in charge of the ceremony, he looked away and quickly walked past the gate.

The main gate of the ancestral hall is not usually fully open unless there is a necessary reason.

Most people enter and exit through the back door of the Rebirth Hall.

The back door wasn't far from the main door; Mu Xian entered the Hall of Rebirth in just a few steps.

But I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but the Hall of Rebirth seems much quieter than I remember.

Looking at the tightly closed room in front of him, Mu Xian quickly pushed the door open and entered.

The room was empty, and the act of pushing the door open made Mu Xian see dust rising up.

It's like... no one has cleaned it for days.

Mu Xian frowned, feeling as if something had happened during his absence.

"came back?"

A calm, still voice came from behind Mu Xian.

Turning around, I found it was Zhongli.

"Where is Master Hu?"

Mu Xian spoke, his eyes fixed on Zhong Li.

This time, Mu Xian did not look away during their eye contact.

"The head of the hall recently landed a big deal."

As Zhongli spoke, he looked at the paper that Mu Xian was holding in his hand.

Subtly shifting his gaze from the paper, Zhongli continued, "Was this trip to Inazuma quite pleasant?"

Zhongli didn't receive a reply, but instead saw Mu Xian throw a small box at her.

Zhongli took the small box but did not open it. Instead, he turned his head and continued to look at Mu Xian.

Mu Xian walked past him, seemingly about to leave the Hall of Rebirth.

As Mu Xian's figure disappeared from sight, the already deserted Rebirth Hall seemed to become even more deserted.

Without looking at Mu Xian who had left again, Zhong Li looked down at the wooden box beside him.

Upon opening the wooden box, a blooming wooden and glass lily lay quietly inside...

"Ms. Keqing?"

"Miss Keqing!"

The sound brought Ke Qing back to her senses, only to find that she was just one step away from falling down the stone steps.

Silently retracting his steps, the decisive Yuheng star looked at the work report in his hand.

However, Gan Yu noticed that something was wrong with Ke Qing and stood in front of her.

"Have you been sleeping poorly lately?"

Gan Yu said, "Leave these tasks to me. Miss Ke Qing, you should get some rest first."

Ke Qing was still in a daze and didn't hear Gan Yu's words clearly at all.

It wasn't until Gan Yu pulled out her work report that Ke Qing looked up at Gan Yu in a daze.

Gan Yu looked at Ke Qing with a serious expression and spoke.

"After all, feeling sleepy is a terrible feeling, and it can make even some easy tasks difficult."

"Don't push yourself too hard."

Hearing Gan Yu's words, Ke Qing finally came to her senses.

—Feeling sleepy? I think I am a little...

—But there's still so much work to do.

"I am okay."

As she spoke, Ke Qing tried to snatch the item from Gan Yu's hand, but Gan Yu turned around and dodged her.

"I already told you, Miss Keqing, you should go and rest quickly."

Perhaps it was because she was used to being gentle, but even though Gan Yu was pretending to be stern, she didn't seem threatening to others.

Gan Yu knew that it was impossible to get Ke Qing to put down her work like that, so she simply put down her work report and pushed Ke Qing out of the office.

"I am, after all, the secretary of the Seven Stars of Liyue. I can help you with your work to some extent."

"You should get some rest today."

...

Ke Qing was inexplicably pushed out by Gan Yu, and Gan Yu's words about resting still echoed in her ears.

—Shall we take a break?

Walking on the bustling street, Ke Qing could only feel a little bored.

This boredom tormented Ke Qing, forcing her to find something to do.

—But what should we do?

Ke Qing thought to herself as she slowly walked to the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.

Chapter 110 The Land Where the Dragon Subdued

Ke Qing looked at the gate of the Hall of Rebirth.

The gate was tightly shut, and there was no one outside.
