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

“On behalf of the High Priestess of Narukami Shrine, the current High Priestess of Sangokyu Shrine, the head of the Kamisato family, and the leader of the Arataki School, I have come to offer my sincere advice to the Shogun.”

Chapter 103 Pure Land of Single-Minded Devotion

Forest of Guardians

Columbia walked slowly along the path, occasionally plucking the strings of her violin.

"Hmm...I see."

She had been walking for quite some time, but was still going in circles, and her sense of direction was gradually fading away.

"Is your only goal to stall me?"

He played a tune softly on the lute, and an invisible wave of energy entered the forest, but there was no unexpected response.

"..."

It really was their doing; this is troublesome.

Columbia looked up at the mountaintop of Shadow Mountain, her face showing hesitation, but then she suddenly remembered that the fox still had to help Qin Ye and couldn't afford to waste any more time, so her expression turned resolute.

The melody of the piano changed, becoming long and gentle, as if calling out to someone.

"Ah~ this burning truth!"

A series of scorching pillars of fire rose up, the flames forming a circle around the girl's feet as if painted with a brush.

"Disperse."

As the strings were plucked, the raging flames instantly subsided, dissipating into starlight.

The figure of Abyss Singer Abyssfire emerged from a distance, speaking respectfully: "I'm sorry, Lady Columbia, it is my duty that I cannot allow you to take another step."

The girl's expression remained unchanged, only her tone was slightly languid: "You?"

"Serve the abyss!"

"Feel the grace!"

Familiar fluctuations emanated from all around, and Abyss Singers and Apostles appeared, surrounding the petite girl.

"No matter how many people come, the result will be the same."

Columbia launched an attack instantly, the sound of her piano melody sweeping across the scene, instantly injuring the enemies who were close to the front.

But the opponent quickly retreated into the void, concealing their presence.

The Fire Singer stood at the farthest point of the battlefield, holding an item that exuded an ominous power.

“You’re right. Even if we brought twice as many men, we still wouldn’t be a match for you. But our goal has never been to defeat you. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been sent here to hold you back.

But the girl in front of him was completely absorbed by the item in his hand, and his words gradually turned cold.

"Then you can all stay here."

Tianling Magistrate's Office

Ayato Kamisato drew his sword, becoming alert to his surroundings.

"There's something I've never understood: the head of the Kujo family enjoyed all the riches and honors in Inazuma and held absolute military power in Tenryo, so why would he betray the shogun like this?"

"Oh? Head of the Kamisato family, tell me then, when did I betray the general?"

Ayato tossed a thick stack of papers from his sleeve, a smile playing on his lips: "Although I don't know which faction you've colluded with, you don't think the Kamisato family and Lord Miyaji didn't notice that you secretly hid the helpless soldiers near Mount Kageshiro."

The old man in front of him suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, of course I know, but it is precisely because of the Coral Palace's rebellion that if you dare to settle accounts with the Heavenly Territory Envoy, it will surely cause panic among the people of Inazuma City."

"..."

Ayato frowned.

As the other party said, military power is tightly controlled by the Heavenly Commander, so even if something happens, it can only be dealt with when the opportunity arises. As for going to the General to report this...

It's hard to say whether the group that deceived the emperor and those who cooperated with the Heavenly Leader were not on the same side.

Therefore, coming to settle scores at this time, although it is a last resort, is also the only good opportunity.

The old man slowly stood up: "I am only trying to maintain the eternal existence of the Kujo family. As long as I cooperate with them, I can gain power and soldiers who are not afraid of death. At that time, the survival of the Tenryo Regime will naturally last for thousands of generations. If I am wrong, then the Shogun will decide!"

An eerie aura rose from the old man, completely erasing his previous dejection and replaced by a spirited demeanor.

"Under that single, thoughtless strike, no enemy could escape! But you, Ayato Kamisato, instead of protecting the General when he was assassinated, you sent troops to surround my Tenryo Magistrate! Preventing me from going to his rescue! What! Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Hehe." Ayato laughed instead of getting angry: "Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to say."

Fine droplets of water fell from the magistrate's office, turning the place into a hunting ground.

“The spirit flows, the water is abundant.”

-

"too slow!"

A flash of lightning, and the general's figure appeared in front of Qin Ye in an instant. The blade made of rock attribute was pierced by the sword tip, and cracks began to appear from the middle, but Qin Ye quickly repaired them.

"Tsk..."

It has to be said that even just facing a doll is incredibly oppressive.

I remember Thor fought the general in the future, and the two of them fought for who knows how long.

They're both dolls, so why is the other one so embarrassing?

"Wan Lei is buried!"

The naginata spun in the general's hand, and electricity crackled across the ground, but before that, Qin Ye had already created a rock pillar that rose into the air.

A powerful shockwave and thunderous roar resounded throughout the castle tower, blasting away the surrounding armor and instantly severing the rock pillars.

"You really went all out, didn't you? Aren't you going to have a chat with me?"

Seeing Qin Ye's relaxed and carefree appearance, the general frowned.

"absurd..."

But she didn't hold back her attacks at all; as she ran, her movements were so fast that they were difficult for ordinary people to follow.

The wind and thunder attributes coalesced beneath Qin Ye's feet, and he quickly retreated, stepping onto the wall, but was still relentlessly pursued.

The two beams of light intertwined and shifted within the room, neither able to gain the upper hand for a time.

"..."

But Qin Ye was actually extremely panicked inside.

He had already used what could be described as his full strength, but he still couldn't figure out the general's true strength.

Unfortunately... I didn't come here to visit you this time.

He stretched out his palm towards the ground, and countless rock pillars burst forth, instantly transforming the room into a stone forest.

He took the opportunity to sneak in, alter the terrain, and quickly conceal himself.

"To think they'd resort to such petty tricks in a duel."

The general seemed to scoff at such a practice.

"Nowhere to escape."

She gathered her strength, intending to use a powerful skill to clear away the obstacles.

"This is your own home... Can't you learn something decent with that married woman's face...?"

As Qin Ye finished speaking, the two items were tossed high into the air.

The general instinctively slashed out with his sword, only to find that the two pink amulets had been cut in half at the waist.

My body briefly lost control.

"Brother Qin Ye, even if I were to risk my life, this is the only chance I can give you. Please don't let my good intentions go to waste."

A slightly aggrieved tone lingered in Qin Ye's mind, causing him to purse his lips involuntarily.

He stepped onto the rock face and shot forward rapidly, not even caring how to stop afterwards.

Three attributes coiled around the blade, heading straight for the general's throat.

The surrounding environment was suddenly plunged into darkness, and the general's figure vanished instantly. The ground with barbarian patterns continued to rotate and enlarge.

Qin Ye landed smoothly and turned his gaze to the woman in front of him.

Her clothing featured a large amount of purple, highlighting her status and nobility.

The part of the headdress that shows the fan and tassels is a purple butterfly fan tassel.

The upper body is dressed in a "furisode" style kimono, with a low-set collar and lace trim, creating a luxurious feel.

She wore dark purple over-the-knee stockings paired with thick-soled chunky heels, which made her appear less sharp and sexy, but more composed and capable.

Following the principle that one judges a person by their appearance, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye accentuated her cool and aloof beauty...

Of course, this only represents the first impression.

The shadow suspended in mid-air slowly opened its eyes, stared at the man in front of it, then sighed and withdrew from the half-lotus position.

She looked at the three elements that Qin Ye used with such ease, and murmured in a perfectly measured voice.

"It is you."

(Author's note: I have a high fever... Chapter 2 is out now. Please check for errors if you find any; my head is a little dizzy.)

Chapter 104?

Qin Ye frowned, puzzled by Ying's ambiguous words: "You know me?"

"Hmm..." The girl closed her eyes, seemingly carefully considering her words.

"We know each other, but we don't really know each other."

"..."

Although it's true that you have the face of a married woman but aren't, I remember you never tell riddles.
