Legend of the Dragon King: I am Genshin Impact

Chapter 27: You Have One More Father!

The group sat down in a rather inconspicuous corner. As soon as they sat down, Gu Yue said in surprise, "I didn't expect a rich young master like you to eat at a roadside stall?"

Although Feng Zixi's inherent sarcasm attracted most of Gu Yue's hatred, Xie Xie was no pushover either. He had once whispered to Tang Wulin about Gu Yue seducing Feng Zixi, and Gu Yue remembered that.

Although Gu Yue always suffered setbacks with Feng Zixi, she completely overwhelmed Xie Xie in terms of both strength and eloquence.

However, Xie Xie didn't argue with her this time. "My mom used to love the braised beef at this restaurant. I come here every now and then."

Xie Xie's tone was filled with desolation, which left Gu Yue speechless.

As soon as the group sat down, the boss noticed them. "Oh, Xie Xie's here! You even brought friends? Same as always?"

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Li," Xie Xie said with a smile.

Soon, four servings of braised beef, four bowls of white rice, and two side dishes made of green vegetables were served.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit somber, none of them picked up their chopsticks first.

"Hey?" Feng Zixi was the first to lift the lid of the earthenware pot in front of her. The pot immediately emitted a rich aroma of beef. The broth was dark golden, and you could see pieces of beef cut into small pieces.

"It looks delicious! What are you all standing there for? Let's eat together!"

Tang Wulin couldn't hold back any longer and started eating right away.

This little shop, with its dim lighting and worn-out tables and chairs, offers surprisingly delicious food. Beef, thick soup, side dishes, and white rice—it's all so comforting and warming.

"It feels great to be able to have a meal with you guys." Xie Xie asked the owner to bring ten more portions, as he knew Tang Wulin's appetite.

"Before, I always ate out with my mom," Xie Xie sighed, his eyes slightly red. "It's a pity my mom is gone now. I really want to eat a pot of braised beef with her again..."

Xie Xie slumped onto the table, exuding an aura of loneliness and sorrow.

Feng Zixi patted Xie Xie on the back. Tang Wulin and Gu Yue hadn't expected that Xie Xie's aloof exterior would hide such things.

Gu Yue was slightly stunned. Is this what humans are like?

The Silver Dragon King is half of the Dragon God, meaning she is essentially an orphan. Perhaps because of this, she cannot understand the origins of human emotions. However, she does envy such pure emotions; as the ruler of all soul beasts, she has lost most of her own feelings.

Originally, she didn't care. Her life was only about revenge, which was the responsibility and obligation she had to bear since birth!

But...she's just a child who's not even nine years old yet...

Although the Silver Dragon King inherited the wisdom of the Dragon God, she was forced into hibernation for tens of thousands of years to recover from her injuries. Upon awakening, she was immediately burdened with the mission of revitalizing the soul beasts. While she was no less intelligent than anyone else, she was still a child less than nine years old.

"Don't you understand?" Feng Zixi glanced at Gu Yue, who was still in a daze. "Actually, I don't really understand either..."

Gu Yue and Tang Wulin both looked at Feng Zixi with confusion. In their minds, Feng Zixi was a embodiment of joy and freedom. This was the first time they had heard Feng Zixi speak in such a heavy tone...

"I don't have any parents," Feng Zixi chuckled, "so I have no idea what loss feels like."

Whether in her past life or this one, Feng Zixi has never met her parents.

That's precisely why he was able to integrate so effortlessly after traversing worlds. Because... he had absolutely no attachments...

He has quite a few friends, but they are all fair-weather friends, so starting a new life is a good idea for Feng Zixi.

"To be honest, I don't even know my parents' names anymore, and I don't remember what they look like," Feng Zixi laughed carefree. "But life has to go on, doesn't it?"

Gu Yue silently ate her beef stew, her eyes occasionally glancing at Feng Zixi with envy. She longed for the unbridled freedom Feng Zixi possessed. Sometimes, she wanted to abandon the soul beasts, but… responsibility rested on her shoulders; she had to be accountable to her people who supported her…

"Ah, it's pretty good, keep eating." Feng Zixi chuckled foolishly, as if the deep aura from before hadn't been on him at all.

"I'm so envious of you..." Xie Xie said, wiping his eyes.

"What, are you jealous that I don't have parents?" Feng Zixi glanced at Xie Xie sideways.

Xie Xie chuckled, "I envy your foolish luck!"

"Tsk, little Xie Xie, how dare you be so bold? Just because you have one more father than me?" Feng Zixi licked the rice grains stuck to her lips.

Xie Xie chuckled, "That's right! Because I have an extra dad compared to you!"

"Hiss." Feng Zixi never expected anyone to be even more shameless than herself. She absolutely couldn't tolerate this. "What good is having another father! I'm the most famous bard on the entire continent!"

"I have one more father than you!"

"Labor and management are the embodiment of a thousand winds, capable of controlling the winds of the world!"

"I have one more father than you!"

"I was earning money when I was six, and my pocket money now is probably more than the Xie family's!"

"So what! I have an extra father compared to you!"

"Hiss..." Feng Zixi stared wide-eyed at Xie Xie. What the hell is this? Just because you have a dad doesn't mean you're this arrogant! You've lost your horse! Tang Wulin has more horses than you!

However, Feng Zixi knew very well that arguing with an idiot would only drag your IQ down to his level, and then defeat you with his rich experience.

Feng Zixi had already recorded Xie Xie's arrogance with the wind. Ten years later, when everyone was old enough to be young, she would play this scene in front of Xie Xie, letting him see that he had gained a father!

Feng Zixi ate her meal with gusto, while Xie Xie was smugly pleased with himself for having another father, little did he know... You think I'm on the first level, but I'm actually in the atmosphere!

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate the young... cough cough cough.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yue were both completely bewildered. How did the originally dull atmosphere suddenly change so drastically, and it turned into a competition about who had more fathers?

Tang Wulin transformed into a dry rice person, secretly mocking Xie Xie in his heart, "I have one more horse than you, but I won't say it."

Thanks to Feng Zixi's witty remarks, the meal passed by in laughter.

Feng Zixi hadn't forgotten her main task, and followed Xie Xie around aimlessly. As a wind spirit, Feng Zixi's appetite was far inferior to Tang Wulin's. Even the Rock King Emperor Morax might not be able to outeat Tang Wulin.

Although Morax possesses formidable energy and blood, as long as he stands on the ground, he receives a continuous supply of energy and blood, to the point that he doesn't even need to eat.

Feng Zixi looked at Gu Yue, who hadn't eaten much either, and felt a little puzzled. Why was it that her, who could eat so much, had awakened the Silver Dragon Spear as her martial soul, while Gu Yue, who ate so little, had become the Silver Dragon King...? It would be more normal if they switched...
