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

"How come I didn't know?"

"A whole 100 billion Mora! If I had that much money, I could run for the 'Liyue Seven Stars'!"

When Yanfei was very young, her parents sent her to live with her maternal grandmother, Ping.

Therefore, she and several other junior sisters regarded Grandma Ping as an elder in their family.

Grandma Ping's house is also their home.

Grandma Ping always told them to be frugal, so she thought the family's financial situation was not good.

So, Grandma Ping is really rich!

"Girl, this isn't just my money."

"We immortals and yakshas have accumulated this wealth over the ages, and we will not use it unless absolutely necessary."

Grandma Ping explained.

"One hundred billion Mora should be enough."

"I will officially begin teaching you tomorrow."

Su Yu was also surprised to find that these immortals were quite wealthy.

He initially agreed to attend the banquet because of Grandma Ping.

He was thinking that a group of immortals who had lived for thousands of years must have at least tens of billions of Mora.

The result was a staggering 100 billion, far exceeding expectations.

It's worth noting that even the Golden House under the Liyue General Affairs Department only holds a strategic reserve of 100 billion Mora.

The currency war against Liyue is in full swing, and an economic crisis is about to sweep through Liyue.

The immortal possesses 100 billion Mora, which could potentially influence the outcome of this business war at a crucial moment; it must be consumed no matter what.

The best ways to consume these resources are alchemy, weapon crafting, and medicine making.

The reason why Su Yu spared no effort to "promote" the concept of True Immortal to them was precisely this—

This made the immortals willingly take out Mora and use it.

"Then it's settled, Your Highness."

"Tomorrow I will gather all the immortals to follow Your Highness in cultivating the true immortal arts."

"Alchemy, weapon crafting, and medicine refining, although they are only branches of True Immortal techniques, will greatly enhance our strength if we can learn them."

In Grandma Ping's opinion, spending 100 billion Mora to learn these three technologies is absolutely worthwhile.

Even if Mora is gone, you can earn it again.

The opportunity to learn the true immortal arts is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought.

"Please wait a moment."

"I have a problem with that."

At this moment, Yan Fei suddenly stood up from her seat.

Although she and her two junior sisters, Yao Yao and Xiang Ling, did not understand any true immortal techniques or the meaning of defying the laws of heaven, they felt regretful knowing that the enormous wealth of one hundred billion Mora might be completely depleted.

Regret is secondary.

In Yan Fei's opinion, Prince Zhidong is suspected of "bewitching" Granny Ping.

No wonder she was suspicious.

Instead, she took over Ye Lan's case, and she became more wary of Su Yu.

Yelan and her family's assets were deposited in the Northern Bank under the enticement of Prince Zhidong.

At this moment, he is using the pretext of cultivating the true immortal arts to squander the wealth of the immortals, which makes it hard not to arouse suspicion.

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you a few questions."

“You said earlier that the immortals of Liyue cannot obtain the Vision of Gods because their true forms are not human.”

"Then, why does the Dharma Protector Yaksha General Xiao, as one of the 'Three-Eyed Five Manifestations Immortals,' possess the Eye of God?"

"Why do Gan Yu and I possess the Eye of God?"

"Also, Granny Ping's true form is human, so why didn't she obtain the Eye of God?"

"If Your Highness cannot provide a reasonable explanation, then it means you are lying."

Yan Fei raised her questions.

Perhaps it was her professional habit, but her series of questions were quite sharp and blunt.

The glass of baijiu before the banquet did not dull her mind.

"You must not be disrespectful to His Highness the Prince."

"Your Highness, this girl is ignorant and immature, please forgive her."

"However, there is some truth to what she said."

Grandma Ping coughed lightly and said.

In fact, the questions raised by Yan Fei reminded Granny Ping that there seemed to be some contradictions in Prince Zhi Dong's words.

However, Yan Fei is still too young. She doesn't pay attention to methods and seems too reckless and not tactful enough.

The person before us is Prince Zhidong, and moreover, he is our guest today. It is not the proper way to embarrass him in front of him.

"Xiao did not have a Vision before the war between gods and demons. Later, in order to repay Morax's kindness, he voluntarily signed a contract to protect Liyue for a thousand years, and thus obtained a Vision."

"Gan Yu, she obtained the Vision after signing a contract with Morax to serve as the secretary of the 'Liyue Seven Stars' after the end of the God-Demon War."

"So, do you understand now? Xiao and Gan Yu are just special cases."

"It was under Morax's influence that Sky Island released the Eye of God."

"The Teyvat Seven do not directly participate in the distribution of the Eyes of God. Morax must have paid a high price for these two Eyes of God. Perhaps it was his lifespan, perhaps some of his powers, or perhaps he suffered greater wear and tear."

"But whatever the cost, Xiao and Ganyu's achievements are worth it. These two, one in the open and one in the shadows, are the pillars of Liyue's stability and prosperity."

After Su Yu finished explaining the first question, Yan Fei sighed, "Alas, Xiao and Gan Yu truly deserve respect; their contributions are indispensable."

For thousands of years, the "Liyue Seven Stars" have changed one after another, but as long as Gan Yu is at the Moonlit Pavilion, the change of the Seven Stars will not have any impact on Liyue.

Xiao was ordered to perform the Nuo dance to quell demons and fight against the evil spirits and monsters born from the resentment and remnants of the dead demon god.

The peaceful nights in Liyue are entirely thanks to him.

Many immortals in Liyue can live in seclusion, but Xiao and Ganyu are the only ones who must remain in the mortal world.

Zhongli obtained the Eye of God for the two of them so that they could better protect Liyue.

These two are just exceptions, but they do not mean that other immortals can also obtain the Eye of God.

"Attorney Yanfei, now I'll answer your second question."

"Regarding the True Monarch of Gechenlang City, her true form is actually..."

Just as Su Yu was about to speak, Grandma Ping hurriedly interrupted him.

“Your Highness, my two disciples, Yao Yao and Xiang Ling, have always regarded me as their human grandmother. I do not want my identity to ruin our close relationship.”

"So please keep this a secret, Your Highness."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei's eyes widened.

She only learned today that Grandma Ping was not human either.

As expected, the Liyue Immortals were only divided into beast forms and human forms; their true forms were not human.

Su Yu nodded slightly.

He could understand Grandma Ping's feelings.

After all, if she were to say in front of her disciples that she was transformed from a blue carp, it would inevitably affect her image in the eyes of her disciples.

"Attorney Yanfei, as for why you possess the Eye of God..."

"You are half-human and half-immortal, you can exist as either a human or an immortal."

"You chose to work for humans, so you exhibit more human attributes, which is why you gained the Eye of God."

After hearing the explanation, Yan Fei picked up her glass of white wine and said, "Your Highness, I was overthinking things. I will punish myself with a cup of wine."

As he spoke, he gulped down the entire bottle of baijiu.

"Your Highness is so magnanimous and willing to teach us the true immortal arts. I am very grateful."

"Please allow me to play a piece for you."

At this moment, in Su Yu's eyes, Grandma Ping suddenly transformed from an old woman back into the beautiful young woman she once was.

Back then, she and Chen Shengui were known as the "Two Beauties" of Guili Collection, and her looks and temperament were beyond doubt.

Of course, only Su Yu got to enjoy this visual treat.

To others, Grandma Ping, who was playing the guzheng, still looked very old and frail.

Nevertheless, Yan Fei and her two junior sisters, the spirit A Yuan, and a group of local creatures all showed great interest.

After all, since the passing of the Demon God of Returning to the End, the world has never heard her heavenly music again.

Ps:

happy weekend!

In addition, I speculate that Granny Ping's true form is a blue carp.

This viewpoint comes from Grandma Ping's official photos.

The design of the cuffs and hem of the dress she was wearing resembled a fish tail and fins.

There are also fish scale-like patterns on the left side of the chest.

I'll post a picture in the comments section; feel free to take a look if you're interested.
