Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

Offering help without expecting anything in return can easily be taken advantage of by outsiders, who might see it as being too nice. Asking for something in return is the right thing to do, so Su Yu doesn't dislike their way of doing things.

"I couldn't find any clues about my sister in Mondstadt. Barbatos, the Anemo Archon, suggested that I go to Liyue to ask the Geo Archon. I heard that their summoning ceremony is about to begin in a few days, but the journey is long and there may be various dangers along the way. So I would like to ask the Fatui to send someone to escort me and Paimon to Liyue."

Su Yu immediately replied, "It's a small matter, I agree. Paimon, what is your wish?"

"My wish, of course, is the same as the Traveler's. However, I actually wanted to have a big meal at the Deer Hunter's Restaurant; I heard their honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry is delicious. Today, Mr. Abedo and I went down the mountain, and the Traveler and I were originally going to try it, but then we saw holy light descending from Sky Island, so we hurriedly went to the library..."

"Sure. I will send someone to escort you to Liyue and reimburse all your expenses during your stay in Mondstadt. Please feel free to eat and drink whatever you like, don't worry about your Mora."

"Great! Long live the Prince!"

Paimon is overflowing with happiness.

"Paimon..."

The traveler reminded her not to eat for free.

Paimon quickly admitted his mistake, saying apologetically, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. The traveler and I took on some quests at the Adventurers' Guild and earned some Mora, which is enough for our livelihood."

The traveler added, “Your Highness, just as Paimon said, we also have Mora.”

He reached into his pocket, only to find it empty. He spread his hands and said helplessly, "Damn it, Paimon. Mora is probably lost on the way."

"What should we do? We can't have honey-glazed carrot and pork stir-fry today. But it's okay, I heard that dish is very expensive, we can go eat something else."

The understanding Paimon said this.

However, her stomach was rumbling with hunger.

Su Yu said calmly, "How about this, it's on me today, and you guys treat me another day. What do you think, traveler?"

"This is the only way."

Afterwards, Su Yu briefly recounted what had happened in the library to the traveler.

"No wonder I always see a mysterious island floating in the sky when I'm in the wild, so that's Sky Island. Legend has it that it's the abode of the gods..."

The traveler was greatly shocked, but he knew that was not what he should be concerned about at the moment, so he began to purify the curse in Su Yu's body.

Through their brief time together, he developed a good impression of Prince Zhidong.

Making friends with him is never a bad thing.

"A terrible curse!"

When they saw the curse on Su Yu's arm, he and Paimon were both startled, just like Barbara and Amber had that day.

Paimon covered his eyes, unable to look directly at him.

It's no wonder they all looked surprised. With such a strong curse, they should have been lying on their sickbeds half-dead long ago. How could Su Yu look so calm and energetic, as if the curse didn't exist?

"Your Highness, what follows is going to be very painful."

The traveler held his breath and began to use the power of purification.

The fools in the Goethe Hall, along with the members of the delegation, all knelt down at that moment.

Anastasia, the Fools' Counselor in Mondstadt, choked up on the spot.

The Prince of Zhidong Kingdom, whose power and divine might are unparalleled, has always been burdened with the most painful torment in the world. Compared to this, the suffering they have experienced in the past is simply child's play.

The lady with the hidden mirror had been taking care of Su Yu's daily life and knew his condition best.

At this moment, her eyes were slightly red, and she earnestly hoped that the traveler could relieve His Highness's suffering, even if it was only to some extent.

"This curse is very powerful. With my current abilities, I can only purify a little bit of it."

Just a few minutes later, the traveler was covered in sweat, his physical strength and energy were clearly exhausted, and the purification process was forced to stop.

Paimon huddled behind the travelers, trembling. "Why are your eyes so terrifying? It's like you want to eat us alive."

After discovering that the Traveler's purifying power was indeed effective on His Highness the Prince, everyone present looked at the Traveler with burning eyes, wishing they could immediately tie him up and take him to the Winter Kingdom to treat Su Yu's illness every day.

Su Yu waved to them, and everyone gave up the idea.

The Lady of the Hidden Mirror said gratefully, "Traveler, then you must work hard to improve your strength. As long as you can cure His Highness the Prince's illness, the Kingdom of Winter will grant you any condition, and Her Majesty the Queen will grant you any wish."

"Really? Then can Queen Winter help me find my sister?"

The lady with the hidden mirror hesitated and said, "I need to consult Her Majesty the Empress about this matter."

"No need to ask for instructions."

Su Yu put on his sleeves, stood up, and looked out the window.

"Come with me, I have a lead on your sister."

The traveler was extremely excited: "Your Highness, you've seen her before?"

“I encountered several abyss mages on the outskirts of Mondstadt. The scent they exuded was similar to yours, so those abyss mages may have seen your sister.”

Su Yu made up a reason at random.

Whether to believe or not is up to the traveler.

"Your Highness, please take me to see her."

"No rush, let's go eat at the Deer Hunter's Restaurant first. Those Abyss Mages are on high alert during the day, we'll go find them at night."

At the Deer Hunter's Restaurant, Paimon finally got to taste the food of Mondstadt and praised it highly.

When night fell, the three of them set off as scheduled.

“I remember those abyss mages are around here. Let’s split up and search.”

Su Yu said as they approached Star-Picking Cliff.

The traveler led Paimon to the west side until they disappeared from sight, and only then did Su Yu slowly walk to the highest point of Star-Picking Cliff.

Mondstadt is especially beautiful at night, with its myriad lights illuminating the city and warming hearts.

But tonight, he's not here to admire the scenery.

“Anger is like a tiger, and desire is like an abyss. The aura of stars on you is unique and easily distinguishable from your brother’s.”

Upon hearing this, a beautiful young woman with blonde hair, wearing a knee-length dress, emerged from the nearby dense forest.

She wore two Intiwat flowers on her head, the national flower of the ancient kingdom of Kanreia.

Behind her followed more than a dozen Abyss Singers of extraordinary strength, all of whom were high-ranking members of the Abyss Order.

"Using my blood relatives to lure me out, huh, Prince Zhidong, how have you been?"

Ying gave a light snort and walked straight to Su Yu's side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her, gazing at Mondstadt at the foot of the mountain.

Chapter 46 Hidden Dragon in the Abyss

“Miss Ying, we meet again. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you Princess of the Abyss.”

Su Yu looked at her profile.

Ying raised her chin high, a strange smile playing on her slightly upturned lips, giving her an alluring, sinister air.

During the winter months, countless beautiful women had taken the initiative to throw themselves at Su Yu, including during this trip, where he encountered a large number of beauties with different styles.

Only in Ying can one see the unique quality of purity and evil combined.

Ying waved her hand gently, and the group of Abyss Singers behind her automatically retreated to a distance.

"Your Highness, it's your prerogative to address me as you see fit. Anyway, you rejected our marriage proposal back then, so we're not friends now, we're just partners in business."

Ying's tone was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

There are, of course, several reasons for this.

In the past few years, the Abyss Order, which inherited the power of the ancient kingdom of Kanria, has hailed her as the Abyss Princess. As a result, she wanted to form an alliance with the Ice Queen and secretly traveled to Winter several times to discuss cooperation between the two sides.

The Abyss Order has a terrible reputation on the continent of Teyvat and has always been a key target for elimination by the Seven Kingdoms. If a cooperation agreement cannot be reached with the Seven Kingdoms, then seeking revenge against Tianli will only be a pipe dream.

The Kingdom of Zhidong, which was determined to defy the laws of nature, naturally became her first choice for cooperation.

However, during that meeting two years ago, the Ice Queen suddenly asked her if she would be willing to marry the Winter Prince.

Although Su Yu had already made a name for himself in the winter, he was not as famous as he is today because the Empress deliberately kept it a secret. Apart from the Empress and the eleven executives, people outside thought that the most outstanding thing about Prince Su Yu was his technological innovation and governing ability.

Ying, who was heading to the Kingdom of Winter, was no exception.

At the time, she didn't think highly of Su Yu.

Having witnessed the destruction of Kanria five hundred years ago, she knew better than anyone that relying on external forces like technology would still lead to defeat in the face of natural justice.

Only with absolute and overwhelming personal power can one possibly overcome the laws of nature.

But after weighing the pros and cons, she agreed to the Ice Queen's request.

Any price is worth paying to avenge ourselves against the forces of Heaven.

Even if Prince Zhidong were an idiot, even if he were incredibly ugly, she would still agree to marry him.

But the next day, the Ice Queen suddenly informed her that the wedding was canceled, and also told her the specific reasons.

It turns out that Prince Zhidong himself rejected the marriage proposal.

In other words, she, the dignified princess of the abyss, was jilted by a man she originally looked down upon.

What angered her even more was that the reason for breaking off the engagement was that he disliked her impure motives for getting married!

Marrying Prince Zhidong was a last resort; should she be expected to do it willingly?

The prince who is about to die is far too confident.

With this in mind, Ying went to Prince Zhidong's residence that very day.

She simply couldn't swallow this insult.

When she saw Su Yu in person, she seemed somewhat dazed.

This unassuming Prince Zhidong was reading a military book while wearing a prince's cloak. He was remarkably handsome and had deep, penetrating eyes that seemed to see right through people.

He possessed an extraordinary aura, like a dragon lurking in the abyss.

Judging from his divine power, the opponent's strength is likely even greater than that of the eleven executives.

At that moment, Ying realized that she had wronged Prince Zhidong.

Given Prince Dong's circumstances, marrying her would be considered a good match.
