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

The man shifted his position.

The chair faces an empty tabletop, on which are engraved characters that seem less carefully written than before.

"This is where the Emperor is borrowed."

This face is definitely not enough...

Qin Ye sighed: "I really didn't expect that after all the roundabout things you did with me, you would admit it so readily today."

"Oh? I don't quite understand what you mean. Brother Qin, would you please explain?"

He pointed to the writing on the chair: "Isn't this tantamount to admitting that you are the Rock King Emperor? What, you're not going to play along with me anymore?"

Zhongli suddenly realized, "Brother Qin is joking. How could I, a mere mortal, dare to compare myself to the Emperor? But since it says here that it is lent to the Emperor, I suppose he wouldn't mind if someone else sat here."

"Hmm, that makes some sense."

Qin Ye immediately changed his tune: "Then I definitely can't sit down, since I still have things to discuss with him."

The other person paused for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "Alright then."

Zhongli turned to look at the empty space to the side: "There should have been another set of tables and chairs here, but I don't know when it happened, but the old man Yan moved them away. I don't know what he was planning to do. It has really spoiled our enjoyment."

Why would a little black creature be born in the vast land of Liyue, the territory opened up by the Geo Archon?

Qin Ye's lips twitched.

"Let's not talk about such trivial matters. But Brother Qin, I heard from a friend that you are about to leave Liyue?"

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to have such well-informed friends. I do have some urgent business to attend to inazuma."

And it's very urgent, extremely urgent.

Zhongli lifted the hem of his robe, took out an exquisitely crafted jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to Qin Ye.

"I am just an idle person and have nothing to offer, so I am giving this to you as a way of thanking you for taking care of me during my time in Liyue."

He placed the jade pendant in the other person's hand.

"Jade is flawless, representing the nobility and purity of the human soul. May this object always be with you."

"Thank you for your generosity, Brother Zhongli."

As Qin Ye reached out and hung the jade pendant on his waist, he suddenly realized something.

"I don't mean to question Brother Zhongli, but I'd like to ask about this jade pendant coin..."

Zhongli smiled and shook his head, appearing very carefree: "It's a small amount of money, but I certainly won't give you something so important after spending your money, Brother Qin. I've already informed the Hall Master, and this item can be considered a gift from her and me together."

"..."

Master, I'm really... I'm going to cry my eyes out.

"Remember to give my regards to the hall master."

"must."

At this moment, the gate of the immortal abode behind them suddenly opened, and a blue and white crane flew out from it with great momentum.

"I was wondering who was making such a racket here, and now I see... humph."

For some reason, it stopped speaking.

"master."

Shen He's attitude was very respectful.

"Did you bring them up here?" The crane's eyes were sharp.

"I have long admired your great name, and I am honored to meet you today."

Qin Ye stepped forward and explained his purpose, thus rescuing Shen He from the predicament.

"Oh? Looking for Gan Yu?"

The True Lord glanced at the people in front of him, his gaze shifting constantly, as if he were deep in thought.

"What a beautiful crane..."

Tatiana's words came out naturally, her voice full of praise.

"Ah."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun pricked up his ears, listened, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, little girl, you have a good eye. Gan Yu is resting on the mountaintop. I will guide you there."

As Qin Ye passed by the girl, he quietly gave her a thumbs up.

Well done, Tatiana.

While a true lord may not necessarily be susceptible to flattery, such sincere praise is quite intoxicating.

but...

"Zhongli, you want to come too?"

Looking at the man who had somehow appeared at the back of the group, Qin Ye asked in confusion.

"Yes, I will travel with you for a while, and then I will leave."

I really can't figure it out...

Qin Ye shook his head inwardly.

"Alright."

The group followed the crane along the mountain path and soon arrived at a peaceful and serene meadow, surrounded by the beautiful scenery of sweet and refreshing flowers.

A beautiful figure lay quietly among the flowers, breathing evenly, her hands folded together beside her face, her knees bent, her body curled up.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head and hung down naturally. A single tuft of hair stood up on top of her head, and two small black and red unicorn horns grew on either side of her head.

She wore a short white cheongsam with gold embellishments on her upper body, over which was a tight-fitting backless bodysuit and black stockings, creating a striking contrast with her serene and peaceful appearance.

Qin Ye tiptoed, trying to be as quiet as possible, and approached the other person, bending down to examine them.

I'm sleeping so soundly...

Should we stop bothering her for now?

"Ok?"

The woman seemed to sense something; her eyelids twitched, and she turned over.

She opened her eyes and her gaze met Qin Ye's.

"Oh? Sorry! I'm off to work now..."

She suddenly looked up, her head colliding directly with Qin Ye's chin.

Gan Yu shook her head, her blurred vision gradually clearing. She saw the man in front of her who was covering his chin, breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry! I wasn't quite right in the head just now, I mistook you for someone else."

Just as I was about to catch my breath, I saw a row of people standing on the grass in the distance.

Why would this happen...?

His body suddenly stiffened.

Is that the disheveled way I sleep?!

My gaze started scanning from the very front.

She's a girl who's practically my junior, but we don't interact much...

Strangers...

The True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind...

Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind?

He squinted warily.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, my heart calmed down.

Until his gaze fell upon the very back of the crowd, upon those eyes that held an imposing, unyielding authority.

So...it was just a dream. That's great.

He then lay back down.

Chapter 52 Are you satisfied with this kind of hospitality?

Gan Yu, who was trying to escape reality, was woken up from the grass by Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and sat on the grass with a confused look on her face.

Zhongli had disappeared from sight in the distance.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun flapped his wings, his tone tinged with heartache.

"Alas, this child has been accompanying me to exorcise evil spirits these days, he must be exhausted."

After careful consideration, it came up with what it considered a good method.

"Although I dislike the hustle and bustle of the mortal realm, since such an opportunity has presented itself today..."

The tone gradually became cheerful.

"How about this, before she returns to Liyue Harbor with you, let's lighten the mood a bit, shall we?"

Qin Ye nodded in agreement. He felt that given Gan Yu's current state, it wouldn't be appropriate to ask her to leave with him.

"Cough cough..."

"True Lord?" Gan Yu raised her head warily.

"Let me make a fool of myself and tell you the story of this child when he was a child."

Its tone was full of nostalgia for the past: "I remember when Gan Yu was little, she..."

"True...True Lord!"

Gan Yu immediately stood up from the grass and waved her hands haphazardly: "I suddenly remembered that I still have important work to finish at Yuehai Pavilion! How about we talk about it next time we come?"

"Oh? Well... okay then."

Lord Liuyun Jiefeng lowered his head in disappointment.

He looks like a lonely old man living alone...
