Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Ying and Paimeng nodded to each other and rushed into the room to protect Kunjun.

After a while.

The mirror door opened, and a figure in black slowly walked out.

"Okay, now we have time to scout out the area."

Chapter 216 Return to the End

"Brother Qin Ye, is there anything special about this seal?"

Tatiana stood guard by Qin Ye's side, cautiously observing the surrounding situation.

As she heard the sound of running water, she looked up and around, having already brewed a pot of steaming hot tea.

"Yes, I can feel the familiar power here. I've felt it before when I fought against the Abyss Order and when I was free."

You mean...

The girl frowned; it was clear that the other party meant that the Abyss had tampered with the place.

"I knew it! How could the Abyss be so confident in luring Zhongli here? You have to understand that this is the fully-formed Rock King Emperor. How could a Tuozi who has been damaged and gone mad possibly hold him off?"

Qin Ye felt that this made a lot more sense, and the abyssal power above the seal was much denser than that in the void, so it must have been the king of the abyss who personally intervened.

The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons is the one who got tricked; the Abyss must have conducted a systematic investigation and integration of the immortals of Liyue.

Don't be fooled by Xiao's cold demeanor; he keeps strangers at bay and gives you the cold shoulder.

But that's all called being arrogant.

In reality, he is a very responsible immortal. Of course, such a one-sided description may be biased, but that is the situation.

If a problem like the one we're facing now really arises, Xiao certainly won't be the one to sit idly by.

Judging from the previous cases of Stormterror and Boreas, the Abyss does have some methods in this regard, and it cannot be ruled out that Brother Tuozi also received a little "help".

They deliberately targeted the seal, even leaving a scene resembling erosion, likely to buy time...

I have a bad feeling. Is this place going to become even more hellish than the Crimson King's Tomb?

The Abyss probably anticipated that after Xiao went down, one of its fathers would also enter, and by slightly luring him in, it could be considered a perfectly legitimate scheme.

but...

It seems that this seal contains more than just the Rock King Emperor and the power of the abyss.

Qin Ye originally planned to go down there himself, but now he was attracted by this special power.

He reached out and used his elemental power to penetrate the seal, only to find that the power of the abyss had miraculously receded to the side.

"strangeness..."

Besides the Rock King and the Abyss King, is there a third person who has touched this seal?

Just as he was pondering, that gentle and warm power, which he perceived as such, unexpectedly surged into his body.

"..."

It was just a little bit, but I felt my back didn't ache anymore, my legs didn't hurt anymore, and I could climb sixteen floors in one go without any effort.

"Brother Qin Ye?"

Tatiana saw the man pause for a moment before the seal, then waved her hand in front of him with a worried look in her eyes.

Qin Ye shook his head, snapping out of his thoughts.

The power came and went quickly; he felt as if his body had been parched for a long time and then received a refreshing rain. However, the subsequent effects were more bark than bite.

He looked out at the sky, where the blazing sun still hung high. After a moment's thought, he decided to play it safe for now.

He reached out and took the steaming hot tea, ignoring the still burning sensation on his tongue, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Tatiana, wait outside for a while. If there's still no movement by evening, I'll go in and take a look."

"Okay, I will prepare the necessary supplies for you before then."

-

"Aren't you going to make a move now?"

At the ruins of Cuijue Slope, Kong crossed his arms and looked at the King of the Abyss standing beside him, asking a question with some impatience.

"Don't rush. Wait until the Fool and the Rock God are both lost under the Dragon Tree. Then I will not only make the Rock God regret it, but I will also personally cut him down after he has spent his energy dealing with that mechanical puppet."

"I see. Your plan is quite meticulous."

He insincerely uttered words of praise.

He speaks with such conviction, but isn't he still afraid of the Rock King Emperor?

Kong tried to appear impatient, just so that the Abyss King would feel that he was in complete control, thus highlighting the Abyss King's superior intelligence.

After all, I'm in such a hurry because of what's going on above me.

"Once the fool's greatest asset is dead, I refuse to believe he will have any other way to oppose me!"

The Abyss King spoke with such smugness, but unfortunately, due to being enveloped by dense abyssal power, outsiders could not see his triumphant expression.

"..."

Kong shook his head inwardly.

Qin Ye's greatest reliance has never been any god... but himself.

Kong's gaze was no longer focused on the people beside him, but instead looked up at the Sky Island floating in the air.

Just a little bit more...

-

"Return to the final machine?"

The young master stood before the weapon whose principles were unknown, pondering silently.

hiss...

If we understand the production methods and processes and then teach them to our partners, I wonder if we could mass-produce it?

However, there is a very important problem that needs to be solved.

That's because I don't seem to understand it at all.

"Young man, do not look around here recklessly. The power contained within this object is beyond your comprehension."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun gave Dadalia a look that said, "You brat, stay out of my way," and then stopped responding.

She was resting peacefully in the mountains when someone appeared in her dream, asking her to come to Liyue Harbor to help.

Just kidding, how could I, a celestial being, be summoned and dismissed at will?

If it weren't for the contract...

"True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind, thank you for your hard work."

With a gentle smile, Gan Yu placed the food she had taken from Ningguang's chef on the table beside her.

"This immortal dislikes worldly affairs. If it weren't for your request, Gan Yu, I would have already returned to the mountains to live in solitude."

“I am well aware of Lord Liyue’s temperament. I am truly grateful that you, Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang, and Lord Lishui Dieshan have come here to help the people of Liyue Harbor.”

Gan Yu understood that she had to go along with the other person's temper, something she was already very good at.

"Hmm... As expected of a great figure from the immortal realm, this weapon is truly one in a million."

D'Artagnan was still watching from the sidelines. Although he hadn't figured it out at all, it didn't stop him from shouting "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

"Not bad, that's a pretty good statement."

Lord Liuyun Jiefeng nodded in satisfaction, suddenly finding the little red scarf in front of him more pleasing to the eye.

“…” Gan Yu frowned.

Having spent so much time with him, I thought he was a kind and honest person.

As expected of someone who follows that person closely, and even was personally trained by that person, their ability to read people is certainly commendable.

In just a few words, he had grasped the true lord's pulse.

No wonder he reminded me in advance to return to Liyue Harbor and prepare at this time.

It seems that all of this was within Qin Ye's calculations.

As expected...

Chapter 217 King Ruoduo

"I'll go down and take a look; it feels like the daylilies will get cold if I wait any longer."

Wait a minute, surely you, Lord Rock King, wouldn't have taken pity on me at a time like this?

Qin Ye shook his head inwardly in denial, his hand constantly stroking the somewhat rough bark of the Fulong Tree.

Although Ruoduo held a special place in his heart, so did the people of Liyue; it was impossible for him not to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent.

If there were still any doubts before touching the seal... such as what help he could offer if he went in, Qin Ye had now made up his mind.

"You can go with peace of mind. If you do not return for a long time, then leave Liyue to me and Young Master."

Tatiana did not stop Qin Ye's decision. For her, it was better to protect him than to advise him.

"Yes, I believe in Tartaglia. He can definitely... Regardless of the process, he will definitely meet my requirements. He should be in Liyue now. If anything happens, let the Celestials handle it first, then let the Seven Stars do it, and if all else fails, the two of you can step in."

Although he will definitely get back before the disaster strikes, what if he can do Liyue a favor?

Isn't it wonderful to have double the favor?

Qin Ye looked serious, nodded emphatically to Tatiana, and leaped into the interior of the Fulong Tree.

The girl tidied up the tea set and disappeared in a flash.

Inside the Fulong Tree

In a blur, Qin Ye's feet landed on solid ground. The surroundings were pitch black, obscuring his vision. He could not see any distance... It felt like everything was pitch black, and there was no concept of visible distance.
