I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

At that moment, Wu Qiu suddenly remembered that day when Noelle seemed to have been chosen by some being in the heavens. Because of this, Noelle unleashed a strike that was almost divine.

"System, you can't..."

Wu Qiu felt like he knew something, because the power Noel used that day was very similar to that of Ying Dong just now, that thing called Blue Radiance Polar Star.

"It's not me, it's Ryu."

The system shook its head, then seemed to sigh, "Liu used the power of the Falling Star Plain to select Noel, making her a candidate."

"A substitute?"

Wu Qiu didn't understand. The system nodded. "Hmm, it seems Liu doesn't think highly of you, at least not at that time. So, he found someone else, and that person is Noelle."

"I'm going to see this girl right now, but you seem to know a lot about her, so I'm asking you: if it's alright for me to kill her, is that okay?"

Wu Qiu's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "No!"

He then bluntly stated, "Since that's the case, let's just give it to Noelle. She's definitely better than me, I have no objection."

The system shook its head again. "I chose you. You have to do what you're supposed to do. I don't want to see another Liu."

"As for Noelle..." The system seemed to hesitate for a moment, then sighed and said, "To be honest, she makes me feel afraid."

"?"

Wu Qiu tilted his head, a question mark appearing on his face, then opened his mouth wide and exclaimed, "I! Holy crap! Holy crap!!!!!"

Noelle made the system feel fear? What does that mean? As for the system... well, let's just say "awesome" is enough.

"Blue Radiance's Polaris, as you just saw, is a power that only the chosen ones can wield, and it originates from the Fallen Star Plains."

"Whether it's Liu, Yingdong, or anyone else, they're all the same. Yingdong did take a very short time, and he has every reason to be proud of that."

"But Noel understood it the moment she was chosen. Moreover, Noel is the only one to be chosen as a candidate; there has never been one before, and there probably won't be one in the future."

"Why?" Wu Qiu's head was buzzing after hearing this, and he asked subconsciously. But the system said very seriously, "I have never looked for a candidate. The so-called candidate is actually someone who has been recognized by the Falling Star Plain. All that is missing is my consent."

"But even without my consent, even though she was just a candidate, she still managed to control the Polaris of Blue Radiance, which is impossible in itself, but she did it."

Wu Qiu felt his brain wasn't working properly, and finally realized what he was saying before asking, "So, Noelle took your power without your permission?"

The system nodded, then shook its head. "To be precise, it's not, but you could say that."

"Let me put it this way: you are all chosen by me. I will give you the power of the Fallen Star Plains so that you will have the opportunity to comprehend it."

"Noelle, on the other hand, was chosen by the Fallen Star Plain itself. Unlike you, who may fail and become a star on the plain, Noelle, once she gets there, will be the master of the Fallen Star Plain."

............................................................

"Wait a minute, let me sort this out... Fallen Star Plains, Ryu, Noelle, the system is scared..."

"You're fucking scared!"

Wu Qiu suddenly pointed at the system and said warily, "You're not afraid Noelle will take your place so you're going to kill her, are you? Let me tell you, you can't! Noelle is a good girl. If you dare touch her, believe me, I'll fight you to the death!"

The system looked at Wu Qiu with an expression that said, "The Falling Star Plain is part of my power. What difference would it make if I gave it to her? It's just that it has a special meaning to me now, so I need to figure it out."

"I see." Wu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the system. "Don't worry, Noelle will definitely not let you down. If you're still worried, go and see for yourself. The all-powerful maid is no joke."

The system looked at Wu Qiu, then disappeared. Wu Qiu ignored it; seeing that the system didn't seem to intend to harm Noelle, he left it alone.

Wu Qiu leaped high into the air, closed his eyes, and felt the sensation. After a while, the real feeling returned to his body. Then, Wu Qiu breathed in fresh air, felt the long-lost sunlight, smelled the fragrance of the surrounding earth, and felt his bound arms...

"Ok?"

Wu Qiu was startled, opened his eyes, and then, Wu Qiu almost peed his pants. He saw a knife being held out towards him, which terrified him so much that tears immediately streamed down his face.

"Sister Ying! Sister Ying! Sister Ying! Spare her life!!!"

Chapter 184: Truth and Falsehood

The knife stopped, just centimeters from Wu Qiu's neck. Of course, it wasn't Wu Qiu who called for it to stop; Ying hadn't actually intended to cut him, she was just holding it against his neck as a precaution.

Wu Qiu's nose was practically running, and he took a deep sniff. Then, looking at the wary crowd around him, he said, "Wait, what's going on? I barely escaped death, and this is how you treat me?"

He tried to break free, but found the rope was unusual. Completely bound, Wu Qiu had no strength left and could only watch.

"Hey, stop messing around, hurry up and untie me."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Shuangxue slowly spoke, "It really does seem to be Brother Qiu..."

Paimon shook his head. "We can't trust him easily. Xiao Qiuzi is obviously no match for that guy, so we need to be careful and not be fooled by him."

Wu Qiu glared at him and said, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I really am Wu Qiu, without a doubt, you have to believe me."

Ying hesitated at this point, unsure whether to believe it. If it were just based on sight and feeling, Ying could be certain that this was Wu Qiu.

However, Wu Qiu and this one are clearly the same person, sharing the same memories, so it's not impossible for them to imitate each other. For everyone's safety, Ying also needs to find out the truth.

"It's best to be careful. That thing is very dangerous, and I can't guarantee I can protect you."

The True Lord of Moon-Cuttering Sun, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He was very strong, extremely strong, and could easily sense that this was the original Wu Qiu.

But the problem is the unknown. Wu Qiu No. 2 is too mysterious and unknown, so even if they are 99% certain, they still need to be careful, for everyone's safety and for Wu Qiu's own sake.

“How about this, I’ll ask him a question.” Fengshan Jueyun suddenly stepped forward and looked at everyone, saying, “Wu Qiu once told me something when we were on night watch one night. I can guarantee that only the two of us know about this. If he can answer it, then it’s true.”

Everyone was curious, wondering what it was all about. Feng Shan Jueyun had already arrived in front of Wu Qiu, coughed once, and finally whispered, "The casinos in Macau have opened. What does that mean?"

Wu Qiu jumped up immediately, and with a burst of strength, he kicked the guy in the face. He really didn't hold back at all, as if he was afraid of not using enough force.

Feng Shan Jueyun flew straight away. After that, Wu Qiu raised his foot to go forward and hit him, but because he didn't have the strength, he sat down on the ground again.

"He can't answer! It's fake! Let's beat him up!"

Feng Shan Jueyun covered his face and spoke. Wu Qiu glared at him, "You just wait, you just wait until I break free, and I'll tear your mouth off!"

Everyone looked bewildered, not understanding what they were talking about. But then Paimon spoke up, "But they have the same memories. Whether they can answer or not shouldn't mean anything, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Fengshan Jueyun also realized this, thought for a moment, and then smiled, "It's alright, I have another trick up my sleeve."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and gave Wu Qiu a wicked grin. Wu Qiu sensed that this guy was up to no good, so he glared at him fiercely, looking like he was saying, "You're finished, kid. I'll kill you in a minute."

However, Fengshan Jueyun didn't do anything. Instead, he looked around as if searching for something. Just as everyone was wondering what he was going to do, Fengshan Jueyun suddenly looked at Ying and said, "Hey, Ying-jie, your skirt is ripped in the back."

"what?"

Ying was startled, and before she could make a move, a figure darted behind her. Wu Qiu had come lying down, sliding a considerable distance on the ground, while calling out, "Hey, hey, where are you? Sister Ying, don't move, let me help you."

Ying hurriedly turned around and found nothing amiss. Then, suddenly realizing what had happened, she blushed and turned around, kicking Wu Qiu several meters away with a loud thud.

"Let's go! Let's ignore them."

After saying that, he pulled Shuangxue away. Shuangxue hadn't even reacted yet, and while being pulled by Ying, she looked back at the direction Wu Qiufeng had gone, "Hey! Hey?"

Paimon also put his hands on his hips, snorted, and left. Fengshan Jueyun was left behind, his body trembling. He looked at Wu Qiu over there, then at Ying, and finally turned to Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun and respectfully said, "Zhenjun, it's confirmed, it's true. Please release him. By the way... could you help heal his injuries?"

......................................................

Wu Qiu was released, but he went back lying down. He was almost incapacitated; if True Monarch Xiaoyue Zhuyang hadn't treated him, he probably would have fainted again.

After several hours, Wu Qiu felt much better. He moved around a bit, and although he was still a little sore, he felt much better.

He glanced at Ying over there and noticed she was looking at him too. When she saw him looking over, Ying's eyes narrowed, and she glared at Wu Qiu. Then, she grabbed the freshly brewed medicine and violently poured it into a bowl, finally shoving it in front of Wu Qiu. "Drink it!"

Wu Qiu smiled and carefully took the medicine. The medicine was very hot, but Wu Qiu focused her coldness on her palm, and the medicine became less hot after a while.

He took a sip, and sure enough, it still tasted awful. Wu Qiu almost threw up, but seeing the obvious threatening looks from Ying and Paimon, he forced himself to hold it back.

Thinking to herself, "Sister Ying is really terrifying when she gets angry. I will never do anything reckless again. I don't want to be subjected to that tiger-like gaze again."

But why is Paimon glaring at me too? I didn't do anything to her. Revenge, it must be revenge. Paimon is definitely retaliating because I always bully her. Humph! It's so infuriating!

"Brother Qiu, come here."

At this moment, Shuangxue came over with several white sugar cubes. No one knew where she got them, but she carefully placed them into the bowl in front of Wu Qiu, blowing on them to cool them down.

Wu Qiu was about to cry. "It's really too difficult! I never thought I, Wu Qiu, would be treated so poorly. It's really too difficult."

Wu Qiu was so moved, she almost cried. Ying shook her head and looked at Shuangxue, "Xiaoxue, you'll spoil him like this."

Shuangxue blushed slightly after Wu Qiu patted her head, and at the same time, she tried to feed him his medicine. How could Wu Qiu, a respectable man, do something like pretending to be weak to trick a girl into giving him medicine?

Right? I'm not that kind of person, and I could never do something like that... I'm just really not feeling well, I'm just... weak, you know... I'm not lying to you!

Well, Wu Qiu was definitely enjoying it, his mouth agape with a blissful expression. But just then, Ying's voice came over.

Wu Qiu didn't pay much attention at first. After all, it was already on the tip of his tongue, and Xue'er cared about him so much. She couldn't just put down the bowl and leave.

But Wu Qiu realized he was wrong...

Frost and Snow paused, turned to look at Firefly, and then said softly, "Is that so? That's really not good."

As she put down the bowl, she looked at Wu Qiu, who had a puzzled expression, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Qiu, I can't feed you your medicine."

Then he turned and left... left... left...

Holy crap!

Wu Qiu was completely dumbfounded. Watching Shuangxue walk away, he felt like the sky had fallen. It's over! It's all over! Xue'er betrayed us, leaving with just a few words… Wait, when did you girls become so close?

But just at this moment, Feng Shan Jueyun, that bastard, sidled up to Wu Qiu and said, "Don't worry, I'm on your side. Want me to feed you?"

......................................................

"You! You, you, you, get the hell out of here!"

Chapter 185: Departure

Wu Qiu kicked Feng Shan Jueyun aside. Then he picked up the bowl, drank the medicine in one gulp, and looked up at everyone.

"Alright, now we should think about where to go next."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu looked at Fengshan Jueyun and asked, "Hey, Fengshan Jueyun, what are you going to do next?"

For the first time, Feng Shan Jueyun became a little serious. After thinking for a moment, he scratched his head and said, "Well, I'm a wanted criminal now, so I definitely can't stay at home anymore. Besides, I feel quite comfortable with you guys. If you don't mind..."

He stopped, because he saw the look of disgust quickly spread across everyone's eyes. Fengfeng Mountain Jueyun was speechless.

"No, you..."

Wu Qiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you want to follow us, you have to be qualified."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Wu Qiu continued, "Clearly, you now..."

"Isn't that enough?" Fengshan Jueyun looked disappointed. Wu Qiu and the others exchanged glances, and then Wu Qiu slapped Fengshan Jueyun on the head.

"Of course it's enough. You've been through so much, what are you thinking?"
