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

The dream of this Rock Demon was completely different from any other demon he had ever seen before—

With an invincible belief, they conquered the world, made a pact with the people, and protected all the people.

Xiao hesitated.

I couldn't bear to devour this dream.

Because he agrees with the Rock Demon God's ideology.

I'd rather die than devour this dream.

At that moment, the dream suddenly shattered.

"You have passed the test."

“My name is Morax. From now on, you will be my guardian yaksha.”

Standing before me was the Rock Demon God wielding a rock spear.

At his feet lay the corpse of that bloodthirsty demon god.

It turns out that Morax defeated the Blood Demon God and then devised a dream to deliberately test Xiao's true nature.

If Xiao chooses to devour the dream, Morax will not hesitate to take him down as well.

"To prevent you from being captured and commanded by evil demons again, you will no longer use your real name."

“The character ‘魈’ represents a ghost or monster that has suffered hardship and been tempered, making it a suitable choice for your new name.”

That day, he received a brand new name: Xiao.

He followed Morax and returned to the place of departure.

There, he met four other Yakshas, ​​all of whom were the strongest in their clan.

After he arrived, the four of them affectionately called him "Fifth Brother".

From then on, he had two older brothers and two older sisters.

The eldest brother, Fushe, is a four-armed, powerful man with immense strength.

Fushe pulled him to drink with him, saying it was a ritual for every new member.

As the two drank to their hearts' content, Fu She patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You only know the way of killing, and the karmic burden on you is harmful to others."

"But you are not alone. There are always people who care about you and fight alongside you."

"From now on, this will be your home, and we will be your family."

"Welcome home, Fifth Brother."

His long history of killing had made him cold-hearted.

That was the first time in his life he had ever shed tears.

I don't know if it was the strong liquor that was too pungent, or if my elder brother Fushe's words were too tear-jerking.

The second brother, Mi Nu, is fond of clothing design.

The costumes of the immortals, as well as Morax's coat, were all his creations.

He had only been there a few days, so I gave him a small gift as a token of my appreciation.

"This is a Nuo mask that I designed carefully, intended to intimidate all sides."

"Fifth brother, put on this exorcising mask and reveal your 'Guardian Yaksha' form, which will make all evil tremble and eliminate all demons and wickedness."

The mask has eyes like copper bells, fangs showing in its mouth, and horns on its head, giving it a ferocious and terrifying appearance.

He solemnly accepted the mask and tied it around his right waist.

In fact, he understood even more clearly that Nuo masks had another little-known function.

His true form is the Golden Roc, and he will reveal some characteristics of his true form during battle. His face is fierce and ugly, and the Nuo mask can be used to cover it up.

These small details reveal his second brother's true care for him.

The third sister, Yingda, has long, fiery hair, is lively, cheerful, and passionate.

When he first arrived at Guiliji, Yinghe took the initiative to lead him around and familiarize him with the surroundings. She would tell everyone she met, "This is my fifth brother. If anyone dares to bully him, I won't be polite!"

She even teased him in front of Morax and the other immortals, saying, "Fifth brother, if you can't find a wife in the future, your third sister will marry you."

His face burned instantly, and he fled in panic.

Behind them came the cheers and laughter of the crowd.

Fourth Sister Fanan is quiet and gentle.

When he arrived at Guili Village, he gradually began to be accepted by everyone, and everyone liked him.

However, because of the murders he had committed in the past, he always felt unworthy to stand with everyone and deliberately kept his distance from them.

The perceptive fourth sister, Fanan, saw through his loneliness and taciturn nature.

That day, he sat alone on the rooftop, gazing at the starry sky.

Fourth Sister Fanan appeared out of nowhere, sitting beside him and watching the stars with him.

"Fifth brother, what is past cannot be undone, but what is to come can still be pursued."

"Now that everyone has accepted you, you should also open your heart and embrace everyone."

"Believe in your sister, you will eventually meet someone who understands all your sacrifices and is willing to light up your path in the darkness."

That night, he leaned on his fourth sister's shoulder and cried his heart out, venting all the grievances and troubles in his heart.

Later, Morax, the Rock Demon God, defeated the other demon gods and was crowned the Rock King, beginning to practice his concept of governing the country through contracts.

Trade in Liyue Harbor developed rapidly, and commerce flourished.

On one occasion, a "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" broke out in the city.

He exerted all his strength to hold off the demons and evil spirits, and successfully waited for the celestial reinforcements.

Exhausted, he fell asleep and was taken back to his dwelling by the four Yakshas.

While he was asleep, his elder brother Fushe used a brush to paint on his face, turning him into a cat with a painted face.

When he woke up, his two older brothers and two older sisters were laughing so hard they were doubled over. He then realized it was a prank and felt an unprecedented warmth.

"Fifth brother, this is your reward."

"From now on, let's all work together to protect the safety of Liyue."

Later, all four of them passed away.

Their voices and smiles, however, constantly echoed in his ears.

Today, after meeting with Prince Winter, Xiao rediscovered his original desire to protect Liyue.

The people of Liyue need him to protect them, and even if he is the last Yaksha left, the mission on his shoulders cannot be interrupted.

He carries the entrustment of his two older brothers and two older sisters.

"Ugh."

Xiao let out a long sigh.

“My eldest brother Fushe, second brother Minu, third sister Yingying, and fourth sister Fanan, if they had learned the Heart Sutra taught by Your Highness and resolved the 'karmic obstacles' in their bodies, they wouldn't have died so tragically back then.”

"What a pity, things have changed and people are no longer the same."

Xiao felt endless sorrow.

"Since you miss them so much, why not go and see them?"

Suddenly, Prince Zhidong's voice interrupted his worries.

Chapter 118 Mora

"Will I... be able to see them again?"

Xiao's eyes were filled with surprise.

At this moment, the gaze directed at Su Yu became incredibly ardent.

A high-ranking figure like Prince Zhidong wouldn't make such a careless statement.

"There is a way that we might be willing to try."

"I will let you know once I have everything ready."

"Xiao, Morax's power to suppress the earth is weakening, and the nights in Liyue are not peaceful. You will have to engage in intense battles tonight, so go back and rest during the day."

Su ordered him to leave and return to Wangshu Inn to rest and recuperate.

Yakshas expend a lot of energy and stamina when fighting ghosts and monsters, and if they don't replenish their energy in time, they are likely to encounter danger at night.

"Here."

Xiao's tone carried a hint of arrogance.

As for Xiao, Prince Zhidong had promised him that he would not break his word, so he accepted the order and left.

"Your Highness, on behalf of the Emperor and the people, I thank you."

After Xiao left, Grandma Ping expressed her gratitude.

“Your Highness is right. The people of Liyue need Xiao. If you take him away, Liyue will lose its peace.”

Grandma Ping spoke her mind.

These words actually reflect the sentiments of the Liyue Cultists.

If Xiao weren't in Liyue, the other immortals wouldn't be able to eliminate the demons and monsters that roam the night.

"The people of Winter are the people, and the people of Liyue are also the people. I rebel against the laws of nature, but it is for the sake of the people."

"Since it's all for the people, Xiao's purpose in protecting them is consistent with my purpose in rebelling against the laws of nature."

Su Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the towering mountains and sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

"Your Highness's vision is so grand that I feel ashamed."

Grandma Ping said with shame.
