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

Chapter 111 Falling in Love

Amidst Grandma Ping's melodious and pleasant piano music, Su Yu bid farewell to everyone present.

"Your Highness, let me see you off."

Yan Fei said with a smile.

"Wait here."

Seeing that she was clearly somewhat drunk, Su Yu politely declined.

"Well... see you tomorrow, Your Highness."

"Ah."

With that, Su Yu, accompanied by the Hidden Mirror Lady, teleported out of the Dust Song Pot.

The song ended.

Grandma Ping gently strummed the strings of her zither, reflecting on the past and present.

Then, applause came from the disciples beside him.

"It's been a long time since I played the piano, and my hands are a bit rusty."

"Grandma, you played so beautifully. Just now, when Prince Zhidong was leaving, he gave you a thumbs up."

Grandma Ping changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's not talk about me anymore."

“Girl, when I was playing the zither, your gaze never left Prince Zhidong.”

When Grandma Ping pointed this out, Yan Fei explained through her drunken eyes, "I was drunk, I didn't even know it myself. Staring at people is impolite, I know."

"Come with me."

Grandma Ping led Yanfei to a secluded spot.

“Girl, the way you were staring at Prince Zhidong at the dinner table reminded me of my friend Guizhong.”

"Once, a group of immortals and yakshas watched a musical performance presented by the common people together with the Emperor. The Emperor enjoyed the show while drinking tea."

"Gui Zhong kept secretly watching the Emperor."

Yan Fei had heard Grandma Ping mention the matter between the Demon God Gui Zhong and the Emperor, and immediately clarified, "Grandma, I am not Senior Gui Zhong, I was really just drunk."

"Besides, Prince Zhidong is handsome and dashing, what's wrong with taking a second look?"

Grandma Ping looked directly into her eyes.

“You never look me in the eye when you lie.”

"Girl, you've fallen for her."

Yan Fei was speechless for a moment.

She now has rather complicated feelings about Prince Zhidong.

If at the beginning it was just to bring him to justice, now I want to solve cases with him, or rather, spend every day with him.

Having worked in the legal field for a long time, she disliked those powerful and influential people.

Because the powerful and wealthy always use their power to oppress ordinary people.

Many of the cases she handled were disputes of this kind.

And Prince Zhidong is someone who holds a high position and wields great power.

Although she had heard many legendary stories about Prince Zhidong's reforms, she, who had great sympathy for the poor and vulnerable, still found it difficult to gain much favor from the prince.

However, after only one day of contact...

She discovered the shining qualities in Prince Zhidong.

The arrogant and unapproachable temperaments typical of these old-guard nobles were nowhere to be seen in Prince Zhidong.

On the contrary, he is highly self-disciplined, respects the law, and loves learning; he is meticulous in his observations and has unparalleled deductive reasoning abilities; he is knowledgeable about the past and present, and seems to know all the mysteries of the world.

Most importantly, he had extremely lofty ambitions.

The Prince of Winter is like a bottle of fine wine.

The longer you spend time with him, the easier it is to be captivated by his scent.

"Grandma, I'm not tempted."

"No man can move me; emotions are a major taboo in the legal profession."

Yan Fei bit her lip and shook her head vigorously.

Even she couldn't figure out whether her insincere answer was due to the alcohol or because she truly wasn't interested.

"Child, never like him."

Grandma Ping gave a serious warning.

"Grandma, are you worried that I'm not good enough for Prince Zhidong and will get hurt in the end? You're overthinking it."

Grandma Ping looked into the distance.

"What I'm trying to say is something else entirely."

"You heard that at the banquet, didn't you? Prince Zhidong's goal is to defy the laws of nature."

"The path he is about to take is one that even the Emperor has never trod."

"That is the most difficult, dangerous, desperate, and lonely road in the world."

"I really can't imagine what woman in this world could accompany him to the end."

Finally, Grandma Ping told her earnestly, "Perhaps such a woman exists, but that person is not you."

"Grandma, I've got it."

"I feel really dizzy, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Yan Fei gave a perfunctory reply and left silently.

But Grandma Ping's words kept echoing in my mind—

"The most difficult, most dangerous, most desperate, and most lonely road."

Such a man is truly awe-inspiring.

Yet, it's also heartbreaking...

Grandma Ping sighed and returned to the table.

Yao Yao and Xiang Ling sat around her, chattering away.

"Grandma, why don't you usually play the piano? This is the most beautiful piano music I've ever heard."

"I want to learn the guzheng, Grandma, will you teach me?"

Yao Yao and Xiang Ling are at an innocent and carefree age. Under their persistent nagging, Grandma Ping had no choice but to agree to teach them to play the guzheng in her spare time.

"Alright, Yao Yao, you should go to sleep now."

"Xiangling, Wanmintang is at its busiest time of year, you should go back early too."

Xiangling and Yaoyao said goodbye to her.

Finally, only Hu Ling A Yuan remained at the table.

“Prince Winter’s thoughts are dangerous; he is deliberately pushing us to learn the arts of the True Immortals. But if Teyvat is truly a cage, then Prince Winter’s desire to break free from that cage is justified.”

What do you think?

Hu Ling A Yuan asked Grandma Ping for her opinion.

"After Yanfei asked her question, Prince Zhidong answered it in detail. We Liyue Immortals don't have much publicly available information, and the Fatui may not have detailed intelligence about us, especially about Xiao."

"But he knows everything about Xiao and Gan Yu's experiences. Where did he get this information from?"

What surprised Grandma Ping even more was that Su Yu was very familiar with the situation of these immortals.

Logically, it would be impossible for the Fools to obtain detailed information about the immortals.

"Prince Zhidong is unpredictable."

“I have a feeling that he is using us.”

"Perhaps the so-called true immortal techniques are fake."

The spirit of the pot, A Yuan, expressed his concerns.

"Using us to defy the laws of nature? I don't think so."

"Even if we immortals were all together, we would be utterly powerless before the absolute power of the laws of nature."

"You say he's using us to defy the laws of nature, that's utter nonsense."

Grandma Ping refuted its idea without hesitation.

"Oh, I hope I'm wrong."

"That's what Hu Ling A Yuan replied."

Grandma Ping said, "Whether the magic of the true immortal is real or not will be revealed tomorrow."

"Alright, I need to go find the other partners to discuss the preparation of 100 billion Mora."

"I just notified them to come over."

As Hu Ling A Yuan was speaking, a scene of billowing clouds and mist suddenly appeared in the distance.

Then, the figures of five celestial beasts descended into the Dust Song Pot.

They are respectively the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing in the form of a crane, and the True Lord of Water Management and Mountain Creation;

The image of the Minghai Qixia Zhenjun, resembling a wild goose;

The deer-shaped True Lord Yixiao Daotian and True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang.

The five most powerful immortals of Liyue have all arrived.
