Although the words sounded polite, the surrounding Ottomans were actually already sharpening their guns, waiting for the general's order to stab the surviving Mondstadt envoy to death with a hail of bullets.

Su Chen smiled and nodded to them.

What does it mean to repay evil with good?

Inside the main hall, Ying kept his eyes closed, quietly awaiting the arrival of the 'judgment'.

Not far away, Torachiyo found a seat and sat down, then pulled out a Sunset Fruit from somewhere and started eating it.

Tap, tap, tap, tap...

Footsteps sounded.

"General, Mondstadt's envoy, Su Chen, has arrived."

After the Ottomans who had led the way finished speaking respectfully, they withdrew on their own initiative.

Ying's eyes remained closed.

Torachiyo continued eating fruit.

Su Chen walked to the front of the hall and smiled, "Greetings, General."

Ying slowly opened her eyes: "Su Chen, the diplomatic envoy of Mondstadt, do you know... um?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ying's expression suddenly froze.

and many more.

Dazzled?

Ying closed her eyes again, then opened them again. It was still the same. No... impossible. How could it be? It's fake again? But how could it be? The appearance and the spirit are perfect. And that smile—I always want to punch someone when I see it after losing a match. How could it be fake?

A storm raged in Ying's mind, making it temporarily impossible for him to comprehend the current situation.

"General? Shadow? Balzeb?"

Su Chen called for a long time but there was no response.

"Stop shouting, it must have gone to the Pure Land of One Heart," Torachiyo said while eating. "It's probably scared out of its wits."

"What are you eating? Break me some." Su Chen looked at her.

"Sunset fruit, would you like some?"

"Forget it, there are already so many in Mondstadt, I'm sick of them all. Are there any others?"

"Want some violets?"

"That thing can be eaten raw?"

"Sure, it's crunchy."

Click.

"How about it?"

"It's not very tasty. I'll take you to Mondstadt when I have time; the fruit there is much better."

"No, I like to eat meat."

"Then let's go to Liyue. Liyue has a profound culture and its food is first-class."

The two started chatting as if no one else was around.

film:"..."

"Speaking of which, is she going to stand there forever? How long does this usually last?" Su Chen asked, turning his head as he ate a violet.

"I don't know, she's just pretending," said Torachiyo. "She even said she'd teach you a lesson."

"why?"

"I don't know, it just happened so suddenly, and they even arrested all the people you brought with you."

"Really? You bullied her?"

"How could that be? Didn't I say before that she has been meditating on eternity in the Pure Land of One Heart all these years, and handed Inazuma over to the Doll General? I'm in Yokai Town and haven't come to the castle tower much."

"And then? Have you figured out what eternity is?"

film:"..."

In the pure land of one mind.

After finally confirming the 'truth', Ying's mind began to tremble.

How can one describe her current feelings?

Confusion, surprise, joy, bewilderment... even doubt.

The familiar voice, the familiar tone of voice, just like in my memory, it must be him, it must be... But how could it be? He's clearly dead.

Trembling, my body trembled with excitement, yet I dared not open my eyes in fear. If this is a dream, then let me enter eternity here and never wake up!

However, in the end, I could not suppress the desire in my heart.

The shadow returned to its physical body and slowly opened its eyes.

He discovered that Su Chen had appeared in front of him at some point.

Eyes facing each other.

Su Chen smiled slightly: "Ying, it's been a long time."

"..."

silence.

"I just got back and happened to attend the Dragon King Festival. This thing hasn't changed in hundreds of years, but the Dragon King Festival has lost a lot of its fun. I remember that back then, the Dragon King Festival would invite the demon race to participate, right?"

Su Chen reminisced, "That was the most magnificent time, with a hundred ghosts roaming at night, and humans and monsters celebrating the Dragon King together."

"..."

“However, the world is ever-changing, and it’s impossible for everything to stay the same as it was in the beginning. The eternal constant is change, so when you think about it, it makes sense, doesn’t it?” Su Chen chuckled. “I remember you and Zhen used to discuss the question of eternity and fleeting moments.”

Perhaps it was because the simulation lasted too long that Su Chen had so many feelings to express.

"Shadow, why aren't you saying anything?"

"you..."

Shadow finally spoke.

"how?"

Is that all you want to tell me?

Su Chen was taken aback: "Otherwise? Although it's a bit sudden, but... I'm really back this time."

"Is that all you have to say...?"

The shadow murmured softly.

Hiss~

Lightning crackled.

Dreams are drawn from the void, held tightly in the shadow's hand.

Su Chen yelled, "Hey! Shadow, what are you doing? This is Tenshukaku! Don't mess around here!!"

"At this moment, at the time of annihilation!!!"

"Hello!--"

"Stop right there, you bastard!!"

"Put the knife away first!"

"Don't even think about it! Come on, I'll go all out this time to finish the match we had last time."

"I lost!"

"It will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and it will also decide who lives and who dies!"

Thunder roared and roared within the main hall.

Watching the two play a cat-and-mouse game, Torachiyo took a bite of the violet melon and thought to herself, "It's actually quite delicious."

...

After half an hour.

Ying finally calmed down and stopped chasing Su Chen.

If the commotion continues, the crowd outside will likely rush in shouting, "The general has been assassinated! Seal off the scene!"

However, stopping doesn't mean giving up. Five hundred years later, when they met again, Ying tried her best to suppress her emotions, but they still burst out. Then, when she thought about her five hundred years of being withdrawn, and how Su Chen was alive but didn't even say hello, she was filled with anger.

Since you're still alive, why can't you tell her?

Even just a message, letting her know that Cardodia is still alive, would be enough.

She guessed that Su Chen must have gone through something unimaginable, after all, she had witnessed Su Chen disappear with her own eyes, but... even a piece of news would be better... Damn it, he said he would come back, said he had won, and now that he's here, Inazuma went to see Chiyo first...

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

The angrier I get, the more I think about it!

I was actually the second person to know!

Chiyo is such an idiot!

"Alright, are you calmed down now?"

The main hall, on the upper floor.

Its shadow faces the sea of ​​clouds, its back to the common people.

He didn't turn around or pay any attention to Su Chen's words.

Then, Torachiyo, who was sitting to the side eating snacks, said, "Don't mind her. She's probably secretly very happy, she's just too proud to laugh."

Su Chen glared at her. "Don't I know Ying cares about her image? Isn't she just like that woman next door?"

But there's no way around it, knowing is one thing, but when you're petting someone, you have to pet them the right way, right?
