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

An innocent girl blinked.

So the story about the Wuwangpo field trip was a lie?

"Thank you all. Please tell her that I will be returning soon. For now, I will remain here to guard the defenses of Guili Plain."

He clenched one fist, level with his chest: "A thousand cliffs stand firm, towering peaks remain unmoved..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar that even made Qin Ye raise an eyebrow.

"Hiss..." Yun Jin took a few steps back to Qin Ye's back, grabbed his clothes, and peeked out to check.

"Hehe, this scene is much more fun than Wuwangpo."

Hu Tao gave a wicked laugh.

"Don't be afraid, sir. With me and Master Hu here, even if the Thunder God himself descends, there's no need to panic."

"Cough cough."

Her pretty face flushed red, and she pressed her fist to her lips.

"It's not that I'm scared, I was just momentarily startled."

Realizing that her actions were somewhat inappropriate, Yun Jin took a few steps away, but her eyes were drawn to the strange sight.

"there?"

She frowned; the distant mountains and forests seemed to be ablaze, flames rapidly climbing upwards.

The Thousand Rock Army soldiers, whether on guard duty or resting, reacted quickly, grabbing their weapons and buckets and heading out.

But one figure was even faster.

Qin Ye took off running, his Eye of God flashing.

He sensed an aura that made him slightly uncomfortable ahead.

Similarly... there's another sense of familiarity?

In the forest, a short figure wearing a black mask and a robe floated in the air, waving a staff in his hand.

The flames spread along the ground, burning away the original green grass and leaving only black traces.

"The Abyss Cult?"

Qin Ye narrowed his eyes upon seeing its true form.

"what is that?"

Hu Tao followed closely behind, expressing her doubt.

"In short, we need to deal with it first, otherwise the fire won't be so easy to put out."

Yun Jin grasped the key point and signaled to hurry up and get started.

"Then let this sect leader..."

"Master, save your energy, your attacks are basically useless against it."

"Hey?"

The action of drawing the weapon completely froze.

"The flag is coming!"

A long spear of the Geo element materialized, and four banners appeared behind Violet.

Thunder roared.

The elemental power was interrupted because the mind could not concentrate.

She hid behind Qin Ye again.

"..."

Forget it, I wasn't expecting anything from you anyway.

Qin Ye waved his arm; he was certain that the abyss mage was chasing something.

Stone pillars were drilled from the ground to surround the area that was being ignited, preventing the fire from spreading.

The space surrounded by stone pillars was sealed off. Having fought against the Abyss Order before, he clearly understood their weaknesses.

Seeing that he seemed to have entered a closed space, the Abyss Mage tried to use his abilities to escape and began chanting a spell.

But countless spikes protruded from the wall, piercing its shield like a sudden storm.

In just a few seconds, as the color of the flame shield faded, it plummeted from its high position and crashed to the ground.

The small space regained its tranquility.

I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but something seemed to push against my back, and my body was slowly lifted up.

The hard top, made of rock element, grew larger and larger in the pupil.

The two stone slabs were finally pressed tightly together.

Chapter 33 Immortal Spirit

"Hey...did you crush it into dust?"

"Pretty much. The strength of the Abyss Mage lies in the protective shield around its body. Once the shield is gone, it is at the mercy of others."

Hu Tao looked at the rock element cage created by Qin Ye, then at the staff-shaped weapon behind her, and curled her lip.

"I mean, is this Prince Yan being biased? Why are you so powerful?"

Yun Jin also has the ability of the Geo element, so why can't she just use her hands to create something like this?

Could it be because Qin Ye is handsome? Wait, isn't Prince Yan a man?

Or is it...?

She looked her up and down and finally determined a convincing reason.

It must be because his silver hair is so handsome. Yun Jin lost out because of her hair color. That's what Prince Yan likes.

"Haha... It's probably because everyone has a different understanding and way of using the Eye of God. Besides, I've seen people who are stronger than me among Geo users."

Qin Ye shrugged. He had been aware of his special status for a long time, but who could he ask? In his view, it was only a matter of time before he learned the truth.

"Who is it? One of your other executives from Winter?"

"No, Brother Zhongli is far superior to me."

Who are you talking about?

Hu Tao spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Old? Gu? Dong?! Although I know his identity is extraordinary, are you sure you're not just being modest?"

"Why don't you go back and pester him to ask?"

Seeing the other person's confident expression, Hu Tao fell into deep thought.

I hadn't thought about it in this direction before.

Could it be that Zhongli really is just loafing around in my Hall of Rebirth?

On the surface, he was my guest advisor, but he was spending the money of the head of the hall.

Am I actually working for him?

Qin Ye didn't offer much explanation. He first extinguished the flames with rock element, and then began searching in the direction the abyss mage had just released the flames.

Is there anything worth noting?

Yun Jin, being quite observant, noticed the other person's troubled expression.

"I'm not quite sure, it just suddenly feels familiar..."

"Then I'll help you too."

The group began searching around, but found nothing as expected.

Until Walnut squatted down in front of a pile of rubble.

"Hmm... My intuition is always very accurate, something's not right here."

The elemental force of rock suddenly coalesced, sending shards of rock flying.

Hu Tao quickly took a few steps back and covered her face with her arms.

"Are you going to kill me, Master?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm actually quite confident in my control over my power, so there won't be any problems."

That was close! I almost turned the owner into a valued customer.
