He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Barbara was a little disappointed with the answer, but there was nothing she could do but wait until tomorrow.

At this moment, Paimon glanced at the sky and saw that it was already dusk. He then suggested that everyone go to the Hall of Ten Thousand People for dinner, especially speaking to Barbara.

After all, it was a long journey, and Paimon knew all too well the hardships of not eating or sleeping well.

Barbara didn't refuse, but followed the duo to Wanmintang and ordered the exact same food as them. After all, she was unfamiliar with the area and didn't know what was good to eat, so ordering the same food as them was the right choice.

After a hearty meal, Barbara followed the duo to their inn, and then, under the pretext of saving money, she decided to stay in Wu Di's room for the night.

Although Ying seemed to have thought of something, seeing Barbara's "kind" expression, she could only nod and pray that Wu Di would come back soon, as she could no longer suppress this beautiful girl.

Barbara went to Wu Di's room with a clear goal in mind. She went straight to his bed and was about to bury herself in it when she suddenly remembered that she hadn't taken a shower yet.

After taking a shower, she buried herself in the tub again, surrounded by Wu Di's scent. Barbara felt very happy, and her breathing became heavy...

——Ouzang Mountain

Time returned to the point when Wu Di inexplicably fell asleep. At this moment, Gui Zhong was constantly discussing with Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun the sustainable use of "Ten Thousand Thunderclaps" and how to maximize its power.

They were discussing things very seriously, and even for a moment forgot about the immortals around them, but the immortals did not disturb them too much.

Instead, they chatted with the Emperor about some things, including Wu Di. Wu Di's kindness was immense to them. Even though they were told that they didn't need to be too grateful, there were some things that couldn't be ignored.

However, there isn't a good opportunity right now, but the immortals have promised that if Wu Di needs any help, they will do their best to assist him as long as it doesn't harm Liyue.

Zhongli nodded in agreement. Moreover, Gan Yu said that Wu Di wanted a God's Eye so that he could store more things.

Zhongli found this reason somewhat amusing, but he happened to have a Geo-attribute Eye of God on him, and he would find an opportunity to give it to him later.

The joyful time passed quickly. After finishing his discussion with Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and making an appointment with A Ping to go sightseeing together, he began to feel tired.

Then Gui Zhong discovered that Wu Di still showed no signs of waking up and remained unresponsive.

(Is the little one that tired?)

Gui Zhong had no choice, and it was already late, so he could only stay at Liu Yun's place for the night. Liu Yun was very welcoming and prepared a room for Gui Zhong and Wu Di to rest.

Incidentally, this is the room where Gan Yu lived when she was a child.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun gave Gan Yu a meaningful look, then came to her side, patted her on the shoulder, and left, as if he had said something, or as if he hadn't said anything at all.

"..."

--late at night

Wu Di gradually regained consciousness, then slowly got up, looked around at his surroundings, and recalled what had happened.

After giving his body to Sister Guizhong, he watched from the sidelines for a while, then inexplicably fell asleep. He then returned to the palace in his dream to look for the little girl, and then the little girl said that it was his turn to go find her.

"And who are you?"

Wu Di muttered to himself. He could now sense a faint call from a very distant place, calling to him, just as the little girl had said, urging him to go find her.

However, I'm not ready yet. I'll wait a while longer. After all, right now I can only sense one direction.

Wu Di felt perfectly awake and had no desire to continue sleeping, so he tiptoed out.

He saw Gan Yu on the bed next to him. Although he didn't know why he and she were sleeping in the same room, it was harmless and it was right not to disturb her.

Wu Di remained silent and came outside the cave.

Everything was quiet, except for the occasional soft chirping of insects; everything seemed so natural.

Wu Di took a deep breath of fresh air, and then stopped just as he was about to stretch his body, because he suddenly remembered that his two friends were fast asleep, so he decided not to disturb them.

Just then, a cold voice rang out behind Wu Di.

"It's so late, aren't you asleep yet?"

Chapter 82 The Fate of the Yaksha Clan

Startled, Wu Di quickly turned around and saw a short figure. He then tentatively spoke.

"You are... the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?"

"Yes, you can also call me Xiao."

Although Xiao was not particularly noticeable among the immortals, the eerie black aura emanating from him made Wu Di steal a glance at him from time to time.

Because Wu Di could sense a crazy will from these black energies. Although it was suppressed, the demon in front of him was able to maintain its rationality under this crazy will, which Wu Di found incredible.

“At the banquet, I could feel your gaze looking at me many times.”

Is there something strange about me that attracted you?

Xiao was very proactive and straightforward in expressing his doubts, which made Wu Di feel embarrassed as if he had been caught peeping. But since Xiao had pointed it out, there was no point in hiding anymore.

"Actually, it's mainly that crazy will you have that keeps attracting my attention, Xiao."

"And what's even more amazing is that you can remain rational under the influence of this crazy will."

"Hmm? You can see the karmic obstacles on my body directly?"

Xiao was slightly surprised by Wu Di's words and asked curiously.

This surprised Zhongli, who was secretly observing from afar, with Wu Di's power. He was able to directly see the suppressed karmic obstacles. This young friend might be able to give him a surprise.

"So this black aura is called karmic hindrance. I'll remember that."

"Yes, it is because of your karma that I steal glances at you from time to time."

As Wu Di spoke, he was still a little embarrassed. He silently rubbed his hair and then noticed that his hair had grown a bit longer. It used to be shoulder-length, but now it was already hanging down. Just as he was thinking about whether to fix it, Xiao spoke up.

"This is the destiny of our Yaksha clan..."

When Xiao said this, he thought of his four former companions. One was missing and his fate was unknown. The other three had accumulated their karma to the limit and eventually went mad, starting to kill each other.

Slaughter and death are the final fate of the Yaksha.

"Alright, you should go back to sleep now, it's getting too late."

As Xiao finished speaking, he prepared to leave, but at that moment Wu Di quickly grabbed Xiao's clothes to stop him from leaving and hurriedly spoke up.

“I have an idea that I might be able to help you get rid of this karmic burden.”

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

Zhongli, who was secretly observing from a distance, also raised the same question.

"Actually, I'm not sure either, but I still want to give it a try."

Wu Di now recalled his time in Mondstadt. Since he could control that dark energy—perhaps now called karmic retribution—what about Xiao's? Could he control it?

Wu Di wanted to give it a try.

Perhaps recalling the incredible power of the boy before him, Xiao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, even if he failed, it wouldn't matter, it was just an attempt.

"Then what should I do?"

“Stretch out one of your hands.”

Hearing Wu Di's words, Xiao stretched out his right hand, wanting to see what to do next. Xiao did not relax his suppression of karma, but instead silently tightened it a little more.

After all, karmic burdens are not something that ordinary people can bear.

Wu Di looked at Xiao's outstretched hand, silently extended one hand, gently grasped it, then placed his other hand above Xiao's hand and closed his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a sudden change occurred. Xiao felt the karmic burdens that he had been suppressing suddenly erupt, and they kept bursting out of his hands and gathering in Wu Di's hands.

Xiao was stunned, and Zhongli, who was secretly observing, was also stunned. Was there really such a thing? With his thousands of years of experience, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Naturally, the karmic obstacles that had been suppressed for thousands of years suddenly erupted, and the impact of their effects directly affected the entire Liyue region.

The True Lord of Lishui Dieshan, who was gazing at the stars and admiring the moon, suddenly shouted.

"Holy crap, what's going on! How can there be such a strong energy fluctuation!"

Then they discovered that the direction of the fluctuation was from Mount Aozang. True Lord Lishui Dieshan rushed over there, as did another True Lord.

The fluctuations in karmic obstacles naturally attracted a lot of attention, but Wu Di, who was present, did not notice them.

He was intently guiding those mischievous "troublemakers" into his hands, but there were too many of them to finish in a short time.

In reality, Xiao could sense that the karmic obstacles within his body were rapidly decreasing. Although it wasn't immediately apparent, he could see that the black ball in Wu Di's hand was gradually growing larger, reaching the size of an apple.

One can only imagine how terrifying the amount of karmic burden accumulated over thousands of years within Xiao's body must be.

At this moment, Xiao noticed that a golden shield appeared on both him and Wu Di, making them feel very safe.

(It's the Emperor!)

As she was thinking this, she saw Zhongli emerge from his hiding place. The immortals gathered again and came to Zhongli's side. Gan Yu also came to his side, and then, suppressing her nervousness, she asked softly.

"Your Majesty, what's going on? What is Xiao Di doing for the Demon-Slaying Great Sage? Why is there such a strong energy fluctuation?"

“If I’m not mistaken, he is removing the karmic burdens that Xiao has accumulated over thousands of years.”

"this……."

Upon hearing this, all the immortals were speechless, for they all knew the terror of the accumulated karmic burden over a thousand years. Although the Emperor would occasionally send some precious medicines to Xiao, it was still a drop in the ocean.

"Moreover, it seems that things are going very smoothly for you, young friend. Xiao's karmic obstacles are disappearing rapidly. It looks like we owe you even more kindness now."

Zhongli's words were filled with joy. The loss of the four Yakshas back then had already made him feel guilty, but now he saw hope, and that hope lay in Wu Di.

"Yes."

"every time."

"This is really a headache. How should I repay my young friend? Oh, I see. I'll just marry Gan Yu off to him."

"True Lord!!!"

"Hahaha!" X3

Gan Yu blushed at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's words, but her eyes were full of gratitude and affection when she looked at Wu Di, which was clearly seen by all the immortals present.

Shen He, who was watching from the sidelines, naturally heard everything the immortals and the emperor said clearly, and began to think about it.

(If it can remove the thousand-year-old karmic burdens on even the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, what about the ones on my own?)

Shen He lowered his head and looked at the red string on his body, silently considering whether he should find some time to talk to his senior sister's sweetheart about his situation.

Then see if he can help me eliminate the murderous intent deep in my heart.
