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

"puff..."

What is this? It's both sour and astringent.

That girl... I just thought she might be a little slow-witted?

-

(Looking at everything in his memory, Qin Ye felt this past gradually awakening in his mind, and a smile appeared on his lips.)

(Unfortunately, he could only watch silently. If it were him now... well, he's still a theorist when it comes to love, so it's alright.)

Memories flow once more.

-

"I can't believe it's been this long..."

Qin Ye looked at the felled trees around him and the house he had built... which he was fairly satisfied with.

Snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky, their icy touches landing on the back of my hand, bringing a sense of comfort.

His body seems to be too adaptable to nature; he doesn't feel much difference in the same clothes, regardless of the cold winter or the hot summer.

However, the clothes he used to wear, which he didn't know where they came from, had become tattered, and the clothes he wore now were made of animal fur.

In less than a year, he gradually became able to connect with the earth's veins. He learned this skill by imitating the little girl's actions.

Although I haven't seen the other person yet, judging from how smoothly things have gone... they probably haven't completely left yet.

If we still haven't seen each other after a while, we really need to think about whether we should go to the human village.

Qin Ye wasn't in a hurry, but another person was already impatient.

Her fair little feet dangled in the air as the girl sat on a tree branch, utterly bored.

During this time, she gained a deeper understanding of relationships.

For example, anger, boredom, pity, inner conflict...

It's all because of this idiot!

We've already started exploring outwards, wouldn't it be better to find a populated area sooner?

She even deliberately used the wind to clear a very obvious path, but the man, as if on purpose, deliberately avoided going in that direction.

They're almost settled down now!

Most importantly, it seemed like a provocation. She had thought many times about whether to give up on him, but the thought of his actions made her furious.

If I don't make you obediently go to the human tribe, I'm not leaving!

(Someone watching the memories: "It's true that old habits die hard.")

It's snowing heavily.

Qin Ye's feet were already submerged in snow. He originally wanted to go back inside to spend the night, but after thinking it over, he finally lit two fires, one to keep himself warm and the other outside.

The two of them were locked in a fierce competition, and whoever gave in first would lose.

As night fell, Qin Ye, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, was awakened by the roaring sounds in the forest. Birds scattered, and he couldn't help but rush out of the room.

Beside the fire, a pair of tiny footprints had not yet been completely erased.

Do fairies also like to warm themselves by a fire?

Qin Ye shook his head helplessly, then cautiously conjured a flame in his palm and moved forward along the snow.

The trees at the edge of the field of vision suddenly leaned to one side and to the other, as if they had been broken by something.

In the blink of an eye, a monster exuding a strong ice element rushed out of the forest.

"It feels numb when you pinch it."

Thanks to his quick reflexes, he managed to dodge the opponent's head-on attack with a side roll, but unfortunately the strong aftershocks caused his painstakingly built cabin to shake precariously.

I must kill you.

Qin Ye was about to make a move when a plan suddenly came to him.

I can beat wild beasts, and that little girl even saw that, but elemental creatures...

It would be normal if I lost, right?

Chapter 267 Who is on good terms with him?

Qin Ye kept his strength at a moderate level, mobilized the elemental power within his body, and met the opponent's attack with a punch. Suddenly, cracks appeared in his arm, which was composed of ice elements, which startled him so much that he quickly withdrew his strength.

Oh no, we can't just kill them directly, or there will be problems.

Are these elemental creatures really that weak? Or have I made myself too strong during this training period?

He was propelled backward by the force of the opponent's second blow, crashing heavily into the snow.

"..."

The force was too weak.

Qin Ye had no choice but to secretly slap himself, blood flowing from his mouth, and then pretend to be struggling as he dodged the opponent's attack.

"..."

The girl was still watching all of this from a distance.

Does he think I can't tell he's acting?

She felt inexplicably anxious.

Is this really necessary?

The image of the campfire the other person had left for her flashed through her mind, and she finally sighed in resignation.

"Hey..."

The girl lightly touched the tree branch and leaped into the air. Her seemingly frail body displayed a violent power. She plummeted down and crushed the head of the elemental creature with one foot.

"hehe..."

Seeing his savior finally arrive, Qin Ye sprang to his feet and exclaimed, "Oh my, isn't this Lord Immortal Spirit? Thank you so much for saving me!"

He deliberately wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, trying to silence the other person.

"Why?" the girl asked softly.

"Ok?"

"Why don't you want to go to a human tribe?" Her tone was noticeably more humane than the last time they met.

Even though the two hadn't seen each other for a year, they were aware of each other's existence, especially the girl who had been observing him. This statement was purely a sign of disappointment and frustration.

"Hmm, I don't really want to go." Qin Ye's answer was very simple.

"Then you'll come with me?"

"Well... I won't know anyone over there anyway, so following you won't make much difference, right?"

"..."

The girl turned her head to the side, looked at the wooden house that had just been bombed, closed her eyes, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes, which had been as lifeless as a dead fish.

"It's no use for you to follow me. My goal is to lead humanity, which means I need to change locations frequently, and your body won't be able to handle it for long."

"..."

To a normal person, this might sound like a polite rejection, but Qin Ye is different.

Originally, they wouldn't even mention it, but now that they're saying it, there might actually be a kind of expectation deep down.

I'm not an ordinary person; I have no shame.

"It's alright, I can keep up. Besides, you are a celestial being, so you probably don't know much about humans. But I am human, so I can deliver messages to you in my human form. You won't have to see them calling you 'Master' every day. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

He made a tempting offer.

"..."

The girl was still conflicted.

Let's just consider it one of the processes of observing humanity...

After all, he is a rather special type among humans, and we may not be able to meet him again.

Anyway, he'll definitely get tired of it eventually.

Even if I don't get tired of it, I definitely will...

They lie buried underground.

"Alright, then you can come along. If you regret it someday, I won't mind. I'll arrange for you to go to a nearby tribe."

"Well, don't be so pessimistic. What if I can stay with you for the rest of my life?" Qin Ye moved closer to the other person and chuckled.

"Get away." Her fair hand pushed the other person's face away.

"Now I need to have a nickname for you. I can't keep calling you 'Lord Fairy', can I?"

"random."

"Little girl?"

"It sounds awful."

"Little girl?"

"I'm much older than you."

"Age is not a problem; a woman three hundred years older will be given an elixir of immortality."

"?"

The girl frowned.

"Haha...just kidding, or should I call you 'young girl' first?"

"At least much better than the previous two."

The girl leaped towards the giant tree in the distance and stood silently. Qin Ye followed closely behind, proving that he was completely fine.
