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

After Columbia finished speaking, she showed a pleased expression and looked at Tenri with a half-smile.

"Hey! We agreed to split it 50/50! You can't go back on your word!"

Upon hearing what Columbia said, Tenri immediately got up and picked up her books to study diligently.

Seeing this, Columbia smiled slightly. This method worked every time on Tianli.

Because Tianli didn't want to disappoint Fanes, and at the same time, he didn't want to miss out on Fanes' reward; these were both important points.

Wu Di, who was watching from the side, suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind him.

The voice attracted two girls, and a figure they had been longing for walked in and began to speak as soon as he entered.

"Alright, my two little princesses, how was your study today?"

"Wow! Faness, you're back!"

Tenri jumped off his seat and ran straight to Fanes, opening his arms as if to give him a big hug.

Seeing this, Fanes opened his arms and caught Tianli steadily, even spinning her around before putting her down and stroking her little head as he spoke.

"I am back."

"My lord, welcome back."

Columbia also came up to Fanes, gave him a slight smile, and then looked at their interaction with envious eyes.

Seemingly sensing Columbia's envy, Fanes reached out his other hand, placed it on the girl's head, and gently rubbed it.

"Yes, I'm back."

"hey-hey."

Tenri revealed a silly smile.

A faint blush had already settled on Columbia's face.

When Wu Di saw Fanes' deep V-neck dress, he wondered why he used to be able to wear such, well, revealing clothes.

"Alright, let me check what you've learned today."

Fanes took the two girls' hands and led them to the table.

Tenri started to feel a little guilty because she hadn't learned much while slacking off, while Columbia on the other hand looked confident.

"Let me see what you've learned today."

"Hmm—, 'Elemental Usage: From Beginner to Advanced,' oh, it was written by Ishtar."

"Let me see, hmm, okay, Tianli, please answer the question!"

"Yes!"

Tenri, whose name was suddenly called, nervously responded and then gave Columbia a look that said, "Help! Columbia-sensei!"

Because Columbia would tutor Tenri from time to time, Tenri eventually came to call her "teacher".

Then he received Columbia's response, "There's no saving you, just wait to die," which immediately deflated Tenri, leaving him listless.

Then Fanes raised a question that happened to be something she hadn't noticed yet.

Just as Tenri was about to say no, Columbia's voice rang in her mind, giving her the answer.

Tenri glanced at Columbia beside her with delight, then gave the answer.

Upon hearing this, Fanes did not speak immediately, but glanced at Columbia. Clearly, he had noticed the girls' little actions.

But instead of saying anything, she asked Columbia another question, to which the girl responded calmly.

After listening, Fanes nodded. The girls had passed the test and could receive his reward, which would grant them their two little wishes.

"..."

-

Before Wu Di could hear their wishes, the scene changed again.

I saw the two girls again, but this time their faces no longer held smiles, but were filled with deep sorrow.

Fañes looked at the sad girls in front of him, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He was surprised that the two little ones knew the price he had paid for his strength, so he quickly tried to comfort them.

"Alright, alright, don't be sad. Actually, the price you paid was quite low."

"You're lying! What if you've forgotten about us!"

Tenri's voice was loud, and tears welled up with emotion. Columbia, who was standing next to him, also had red eyes and stepped forward to speak softly.

"Sir, we are not children anymore. We can face anything together."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Upon seeing this, Fanes immediately knelt down and embraced the two girls, beginning to gently comfort them.

"Don't worry, memories are something that can be recreated once they're lost."

"Good memories never stop, so why limit ourselves to the past?"

As Fanes spoke, he gently patted the heads of the two girls in his arms and smiled as they faced each other.

"I will never forget you."

"And what's more, both of my little princesses cried their eyes out."

Fanes gently wiped away the tears from the two girls' faces, making them smile through their tears, their faces once again filled with smiles.

"Then, it's a deal."

"You are not allowed to lie."

"Okay, let's make a promise together."

Fanes extended his two little fingers and hooked them together with the two girls' little fingers, and they all spoke at the same time.

"A pinky promise is a promise that will last a hundred years." X3

"No! It's that it can never change."

Realizing that this was not in accordance with the natural order, they quickly corrected it.

A soft laugh filled the palace, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Chapter 110 Don't abandon us again

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Wu Di couldn't help but smile.

He now knows that this Fanes is probably his so-called "past life".

I just don't know what Tianli's purpose was in letting him see this memory. Was it to tell him what kind of person he used to be?

And what do they say the price of power is? Forgetting? Is it about memories?

Wu Di felt it was related to him, but he was currently a bit confused.

Just as Wu Di was thinking, the scene changed again.

-

The person in front of me, Tianli, has grown quite a bit and looks at least seventeen or eighteen years old.

She and Columbia were both in the prime of their lives, but judging from their actions, they seemed to be peeking at something.

Wu Di walked over out of curiosity and found that Fanes was talking to a woman.

"Istaru, how are your preparations going regarding that matter?"

"Preparations for that matter are almost complete, but does it really have to be this way?"

Seeing Istaru's somewhat puzzled expression, Fanes smiled helplessly and then spoke.

"I never expected that I would have disagreements with them about how to manage humans, and then become their enemies."

"This war is unavoidable, so if they want to fight, then I will fight."

"Besides, I am the real body, so I can still take on three at once."

Fanes stretched out his hands, supporting his waist, looking completely at ease.

"Hard to say."

Istaru shook her head slightly, then continued speaking.

"But I will be prepared and look forward to your triumphant return."

"Haha, that's natural."

"Alright, let's talk about the rest later, since there are two little ones eavesdropping."

Fanes smiled and then looked towards the door; clearly, the two girls had been discovered.

Although Tenri felt embarrassed by being caught, she was more interested in knowing when the war had started again, since peace had only just ended.

She jumped out and stood in front of Fanes, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

"I'm not a little kid! I'm a grown-up! And what about this war you just mentioned?"

After speaking, she puffed out her chest, showcasing the beauty of a young girl to the fullest.

"Yes, Tenri and I are no longer children; we are adults now."

"Both Tianli and I want to know, what kind of war are you talking about? And with whom are you at war?"

Columbia came to Tenri's side and slowly began to speak.

"It seems you have a lot to discuss, so I'll take my leave now."

Istaru glanced at the helpless Fanes, then smiled and left.

Although Fanes also wanted to leave, seeing the earnest looks in the two girls' eyes, he could only explain to the two little ones about their questions.

Even though these two little ones have grown into beautiful young women, in his eyes they are still the same little girls they were back then.

"Alright, you two, it's nothing serious. It was just a little conflict, but it'll be resolved quickly."

Although Fanes was answering, his answer was somewhat perfunctory, which infuriated Tenri.
