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

Wu Qiu didn't know why a woman's voice suddenly came from his ear. It was too eerie, even more eerie than a ghost. After all, one could at least guard against a ghost, but this voice, appearing without his knowledge and without even Thor's notice, sent chills down Wu Qiu's spine.

"My name is Hana Sanri, but of course you can also call me, Kitsui-miya."

The woman's voice rang out again, clear and not in a gloomy tone, but rather full of energy, making one want to get closer to her.

"Fox Abode Palace?"

Wu Qiu was certain that he did not know this person at all, but the person's voice was resonating inside his body, which made Wu Qiu feel even more strange.

However, seeing that Thor was about to strike, Wu Qiu didn't care anymore and directly asked, "Can you really help me?"

Fox Palace seemed to nod. "Of course, I still have influence with Shadow."

"So, how do I get you out?"

Wu Qiu asked. Hu Zhaigong seemed to think for a moment, then said, "Hmm—you gather your power, and I will guide it; just don't refuse."

Wu Qiu nodded. He didn't have much power left, but for this last sliver of hope, he still gathered his strength. Then, Wu Qiu clearly felt something attracting, or more precisely, absorbing, his power.

Wu Qiu found it very strange that someone could absorb demonic energy. Before Wu Qiu could finish wondering about it, a white figure appeared opposite him.

First came a cloud of white mist, followed by a white shadow, and finally, a person appeared. White clothes, short white hair, a pair of cute, fluffy white ears, and a tail on its back—a white tail with a fluffy gray tip.

"Fox Abode Palace..."

"Fox Abode Palace!"

"Fox Abode Palace!!!!!"

The first sound was "Eightfold Divine Child," the second "Thunder God," and the third was "Five Hundred Gold." This guy's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the figure before him.

Staggering over to Wu Qiu's side, he grabbed him and looked at Hu Zhaigong, asking, "No, what's going on?"

Then she looked at Ying and asked, "Didn't I tell you to save Hana Sanri? What's going on?"

Ying and Fengshan Jueyun were stunned for a moment, then all lowered their heads dejectedly. Fengshan Jueyun even spoke up: "We originally wanted to, but, because of that fake Brother Qiu..."

"I go!"

Wu Baijin cursed angrily, but Wu Qiu found it very strange.

Why is she inside my body? What happened?

So, Ying and the others recounted what happened that day. After they finished speaking, Wu Qiu nodded, "In other words, that thing was a ball of demonic energy mixed with elements. After it was finished, it swallowed us, and the flower scattering that was one with the demonic energy ball disappeared."

Upon thinking about it, Wu Qiu understood. He then raised his head, looked at Hu Zhaigong in front of him, and shook his head. "It's fortunate that guy isn't familiar with his body yet, otherwise, you would have lost even this last bit of your memory."

"How is it? Is there any way to save her?"

Wu Baijin opened his eyes wide and asked. Wu Qiu shook his head, "If it were back then, I could have separated the demonic energy from the elements, and I could have kept her alive even in her soul form."

"And now..."

Looking at the black line connecting him to the Fox Palace, Wu Qiu shook his head.

“Now, as long as I withdraw my power, he will disappear. And she is now, to be precise, a phantom made up of memories that have absorbed my power, not even a soul, so once she dissipates, she will be gone forever.”

The excitement on Wu Baijin's face vanished instantly. Looking at Wu Qiu, he finally asked, "Really, is there absolutely no way?"

Wu Qiu shook his head. "Even if she had a little bit left, a little bit of soul or consciousness, I might be able to make her exist in another way. But right now, what she has is just a memory, a trace of memory. If she hadn't absorbed my power, she could be said to be something that doesn't exist at all."

While they were chatting, on the other side, Fox Palace, Shadow, and Yae had already started talking.

"Fox Abode Palace, why? Why would you..."

Fox Palace smiled slightly, looked at Shadow, and said in a teasing tone, "Seeing Shadow so surprised, my trip here wasn't in vain."

As he spoke, the guy looked at Ying, sighed, and said, "Hey~ how many years have passed, Ying, you've changed."

Ying lowered her head slightly, then raised it again to look at her. "Back then, you all left one by one. I... I failed to protect you, to protect Inazuma."

"But isn't Inazuma perfectly fine now?"

Yae no Miko suddenly spoke. Looking at Raijin, she crossed her arms and said, "Inazuma experienced that calamity, and now, Inazuma, and the people, are waiting for you to lead them, not to remain stagnant like this, aren't they?"

Fox Palace nodded, then looked at Thor and said, "I'm sorry to leave you all alone. You must have been very lonely all these years."

Thor fell silent, looking at the two people in front of her who looked very similar, and nodded slightly.

"Perhaps you are right."

Fox Palace put her hands on her hips. Although she looked somewhat like Yae no Miko, their personalities were completely different. Seeing that the other party had taken her to heart, she looked at Raijin and spoke with renewed energy.

"Then, Shadow, I know change is difficult, but Inazuma needs to go through hardships. I believe you can lead Inazuma through this as well. So, believe in yourself. Even without using such extreme measures, you can still lead Inazuma better."

In short, they said a lot, but Wu Qiu couldn't hear clearly. Because he felt like he was about to die.

Do you think the power absorbed by the Fox Palace is minimal? It may not be much, but for Wu Qiu now, it's already terrifying.

"Xiao Qiuzi, hang in there, Xiao Qiuzi, hang in there!"

"Yeah, Brother Qiu, hang in there, just a little longer."

"Baijin! Don't let me look down on you! Hang in there!"

Paimon, Ying, Fengshan Jueyun, and Wu Baijin were squatting next to the exhausted Wu Qiu, cheering him on. Wu Qiu was speechless; they cheered with ease, but he felt completely drained.

On the other side, Kitsune-no-Miya felt something was wrong with his body and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Beside him, Yae no Miko looked at Kitsune-no-Miya, a hint of reluctance in her eyes, "Is there... no time left?"

Fox Palace nodded, and then Yae no Miko looked at Wu Qiu, her tone questioning, "Little guy, can't you hold on a little longer?"

Wu Qiu raised his hand, trembling. But before he could speak, Wu Baijin jumped up, shouting, "Damn it! Even the Divine Child has spoken! You must hold on! Hold on! Hold on!"

They pinched his philtrum, slapped his chin, punched and kicked him, pinched and twisted him—in short, they used all sorts of methods to keep Wu Qiu awake and make him persevere.

Does Wu Qiu's desire to kill him have anything to do with his sanity? No, the power within one's body has nothing to do with whether one is conscious or not. If you empty the bottle of water, then even if you crush the bottle, there won't be any water left.

In the end, Wu Qiu rolled his eyes and fainted. You can't blame him; he really had reached his limit.

He wanted to persevere, after all, it was a hard-won reunion. Although Wu Qiu didn't know what was going on, he felt he should help if he could.

But he was really done for. Even if he had stripped the sheep clean, it wouldn't have helped. So, Wu Qiu fainted and passed out.

When Wu Qiu woke up, he found himself at Narukami Shrine. He was not injured, but he was very weak. Clearly, he had exhausted himself that day.

He rubbed his head, finding himself somewhat dazed. But just then, Wu Qiu suddenly realized something.

"Um...why don't I use the Eye of Transformation to restore my power...?"

Wu Qiu was dumbfounded because he had forgotten about it. Now that he thought about it, he realized he had experienced too much that day, and his mind was in such a mess that he had completely forgotten about it.

Looking around, he found himself inside the wooden hut at Narukami Shrine. However, Hotaru and the others were nowhere to be seen, and he had no idea where they were.

She got up, still feeling a little dizzy, and was about to go out when she saw the door open. Ying walked in from outside, and when she saw Wu Qiu, she was taken aback at first, then smiled slightly.

"you're awake."

Wu Qiu nodded, then looked at Ying and asked, "How did it go? What happened next?"

Ying first asked Wu Qiu to sit down, then thought for a moment and said, "After you fainted that day, your subconscious might have wanted to keep going, so the Eye of Transformation activated on its own."

"You persisted under such circumstances for a long time, until your consciousness was completely extinguished, and then you stopped, and the Fox Abode Palace disappeared."

"but."

As she spoke, Ying put her hands on her hips and revealed a relaxed smile. "But it's all over now. Thor has revoked the Eyehunter order, and we are no longer wanted criminals."

"Thanks to Fox Palace, and thanks to Xiao Qiuzi for your persistence during that time, Thor was finally persuaded. Moreover, she asked me to bring you to thank her, because of you, she met her old friend."

Wu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but quickly realized, "Where is that thing? The stuff inside the Pure Land of One Heart."

At this point, Ying's smiling face vanished. After a long while, Ying lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Akiko. The item was indeed in the Pure Land of the Heart, but it was taken away by Bistana long ago."

Wu Qiu was taken aback, and then he understood. It turned out the item had been taken away the day after Bistana met Thor. Although his strength was lacking, his special abilities, combined with the demonic blessing, allowed him to traverse the void and the chaotic space.

Although he couldn't stay there for long, he could enter Thor's Pure Land. He just needed to find a way to get the real Thor out, leave a mark inside, and then he could find an entrance to go in.

It must be said that Bistanna was very capable in this regard, managing to get something without Thor's knowledge. Of course, this could also be because Thor never expected anyone to be able to get in, nor did he anticipate what might be inside.

What happened next was simple. He sent the things but didn't leave. He wanted to kill Wu Qiu, since Wu Qiu was a menace if he lived. So, he tried to get along with him, but in the end, he was killed.

"I'm sorry, Akiko, it's because of me that this happened."

Ying felt a pang of guilt, because it was only through Bistanna's efforts that she found the item. And that mark was something she had brought with her the first time she entered the Pure Land of One Heart; otherwise, Bistanna wouldn't have known the item was inside.

Wu Qiu shook his head. "No, Sister Ying, you're not wrong. I'm the one who's wrong. If my body hadn't been possessed, none of what happened afterward would have happened."

As he spoke, Wu Qiu looked out the window and said, "Things are getting more and more complicated. They've already lost two, so they absolutely cannot miss the last one."

Chapter 464: The Return Journey

Stepping out of the house, Wu Qiu was immediately greeted by the enormous Divine Cherry Tree. He was initially taken aback, because he saw Feng Shan Jueyun pruning the branches on the tree, while Wu Baijin was mopping the floor below.

"Hey! Qiu-ge, you're awake!"

Feng Shan Jueyun shouted when he saw Wu Qiu. Wu Qiu waved at him, then asked curiously, "Wait, you were tricked into doing work too?"

Fengshan Jueyun was taken aback, then scratched his head. "Didn't you say that Brother Qiu asked the priest for a fortune stick here but didn't have any money, so he agreed to clean here for a year? I think you're still asleep, so I'll help you out."

He grinned and said, "Brother Qiu, I'm helping you pay off your debts now, so you'd better treat me well from now on."

Wu Qiu wanted to kick him to death, yelling at him, "Damn it, you believe everything people say?"

Feng Shan Jueyun was taken aback. "But I asked Wu Baijin, and he didn't say no. Could it be that... that's not how it is..."

Wu Qiu glanced at Wu Baijin, who immediately shrank back and said, "Ahem, I didn't say that."

At this moment, Yae no Miko arrived. Seeing the commotion, she chuckled and came to Wu Qiu and Ying, looking at them and saying, "Little one, you're awake. How were you? Did you sleep well?"

Wu Qiu's face darkened. Yae no Miko, however, acted as if he hadn't seen it and chuckled, "How about it? Want to draw another fortune stick? Consider it your salary."

After saying that, he whispered, "It's not like you did the work. You're getting it for free. Aren't you making a profit?"

Wu Qiu thought it made sense, and was about to agree, but then he thought of the monstrous creature, so he shuddered and said, "No, I'm still traumatized by the monstrous creature last time."

Yae no Miko crossed her arms and said, "Don't think like that. I recently saw something fun. If you two shake it together, a fortune slip will fall out and can predict what kind of relationship you will have in the future."

He then took out a bucket containing a bunch of skewer sticks. Judging by the material, you didn't need to guess—it was one of those street vendors selling to amuse children.

"Look, here are brothers, sisters, fathers and sons, fathers and daughters, and of course, enemies, strangers, rivals, and lovers."

Wu Qiu's face darkened. "What is this thing? Is this reliable? What if I accidentally draw a father and daughter?"

After hearing this, Ying slapped Wu Qiu across the face, then put her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! Why can't they be mother and son?"

Wu Qiushan smiled and said, "Just kidding, just kidding, don't take it so seriously."

"So, are you coming? If you don't come, then you'll have nothing."
