In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

Unfortunately, they've taken on a tricky job. The person in question is the other party's adoptive father, and they can't really treat him like an ordinary prisoner.

Standing outside in the cold wind, Kujo took a deep breath, trying to expel all the stale air stuck in her chest.

In the past, she might have lost her way, since the words "Revitalize the Heavenly Realm" had been engraved in her heart since she was very young, as if all her goals in life were for this purpose.

Now, the Tenryo magistrate has become the most powerful department in Inazuma, and because of her, it even has the right to act first and report later.

She might have lived her life in an orderly fashion, becoming an unremarkable, cold-faced judge in future history books, or she might have lost her way and fallen into confusion because of her adoptive father's situation.

But now...

Kujo Sara looked around to make sure no one was there, then rubbed her lower abdomen.

Beneath the clothes, the pink patterns radiated a warm light.

With that guy around, at the very least, she'll encounter many things she's never seen before and find thrills she's never heard of before.

Chapter 156: Lord Water God, I've Long Heard Your Name

"If this were a game, an exclamation mark would probably pop up above Kujo Sara's head at this moment, indicating that a mission has arrived."

Xu Guang peeked at him, nodding in satisfaction.

In the original timeline, Kujo Sara would indeed question his adoptive father.

However, at that time, the other party was very arrogant, which he disliked. You did choose a new path, and perhaps it was indeed for Inazuma's sake.

However, his collusion with the foolish and his harm to the people of his own country cannot be whitewashed no matter what.

Not to mention, nominally, this guy is the one who issued the Eye Hunt Order, although his forced acquisition of the Eye of God was with the tacit approval of the Shadow.

But the Eye Hunt Order has ended, hasn't it?

The rebels and the shogunate entered a honeymoon period.

Are you, old Deng, getting in my way?

With the combined influence of various factors, you, Kujo Takayuki, were doomed, even if you didn't die.

Xu Guang didn't even need to lift a finger.

Xu Guang turned his gaze away. He had never cared much about such trivial matters. If it weren't related to Kujo Sara, he wouldn't have bothered to look at it at all.

Leaning back in his recliner, Xu Guang snapped his fingers.

Then Fontaine's image was projected over. Upon closer inspection, he realized that he had recently fed a large number of characters, and the remaining ones were either scheduled for the next few days or the timing was not right for him to make a move.

As for Liyue, the Traveler has only just arrived and hasn't yet encountered the assassination attempt on Old Master Zhong, so there's no need for him to worry about it.

It seems that all he can do now is look to Fontainebleau.

Of course, as the chief representative who is always looking to have his cake and eat it too, Xu Guang would not only focus on this one thing.

As for the lady, after friendly negotiations with him and the other two executives, they successfully persuaded her to change her course and head to Sumeru to make arrangements in advance.

After all, Liyue is already within our grasp, it just takes some time, and Inazuma is only missing Yoomiya.

The lady can't be of much help anyway, she might as well go and scout out Xumi.

After all, Xu Guang was very interested in the little grass god. A white-haired little loli, and legally so—who wouldn't like that?

It's understandable that Klee might find it a bit difficult to make a move, since she's just reached the right age but hasn't matured mentally yet.

But Nasita didn't have so many concerns.

They meet the age and mental requirements.

Who wouldn't love this?

However, let me state beforehand that Xu Guang does not actually like lolis; it's just that the person he likes happens to be a loli.

That's easy to understand, isn't it?

The Great Grass God is currently in his house, and given enough time, he will become indistinguishable from a normal person, with a remarkably realistic appearance in every aspect.

Xu Guang was really looking forward to the future.

There is only one thing worth mentioning, and that is the great sage.

It was flooded with negative reviews a while ago, then received mixed reviews recently, and now it's receiving a flood of positive reviews. It really makes one sigh at the unpredictability of life.

Pulling up to Fu Ningna's perspective, Xu Guangrao watched her performance with interest.

At this moment, the girl is wholeheartedly playing the role of the water goddess, as for Navelette?

He's still working at the court.

Regardless of how much Xu Guang disliked this guy, it was undeniable that Feng Dan was more dedicated than him.

Regardless of how well things are handled, just tell me if this guy has ever taken a day off in the past few hundred years.

You have to work hard.

Xu Guang smiled with satisfaction. If Xin Hai had any ideas, he could naturally let the other party take his place, since both of them were now Water Dragon Kings.

However, if his girl is unwilling, then Navelette will have to maintain order in Fontaine.

After all, you can't expect Silly Fu to do these things.

Please leave that young girl alone. She's worked so hard for so many years, and it's finally almost over, but then she's told she has to keep working. Even capitalists would cry if they saw that.

Xu Guang stood up, put on his clothes, and stepped forward.

There are enough anchor points; he can go now.

……

"Welcome, messengers, to the land of water! I am Fucarus, the god of water!"

On the high platform, a girl with an exaggerated expression raised her hand and shouted enthusiastically.

The Inatsume envoys below the stage, dressed in formal attire, wore standard smiles.

They are all professionals and are not surprised by anything they see, especially since Lord Kuji had given them instructions before they came.

This trip is not only to establish friendly relations with Fontaine, but also to do everything possible to help their gods.

Although some of them didn't quite understand why the god of a nation would need their help.

But a mission is a mission.

The messenger leading the group stepped forward: "Great Water God, please allow me to convey our General's greetings to you."

Funina nodded, her palms slightly sweaty.

She had met many envoys over the years, but this was the first time she had met Inazuma.

As far as she knew, that country was very closed off and rarely interacted with the outside world. In recent days, it had even issued a high-pressure policy called the Eye Hunt Order.

To be honest, she was quite surprised when she saw the name Inazuma appear in the delegation.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that these people aren't so difficult to get along with.

Funina breathed a sigh of relief and went down with her guards to offer her condolences to the delegation.

As for why she went out with guards, that's easy to guess.

She does this to maintain the dignity of a deity; otherwise, doing everything herself would be beneath her dignity.

Only she knew that she did this to protect herself; all the power lay in the divine realm, and now she was just an ordinary girl.

If you encounter some extreme fanatic, then you're doomed.

Arriving before the leading envoy, Funina looked at the group with her head held high, proud yet not arrogant, elegant yet gentle.

The demeanor of a deity was fully revealed.

The messengers of Inazuma all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Even a pig, if you make it play the role of a god for five hundred years, it will find some tricks to it.

"You've all worked hard. Why don't you go and rest for a while? We can discuss the details of our cooperation tomorrow."

The head envoy nodded and bowed, saying, "As you wish."

It was at this time that unexpected changes occurred.

A large hand shot out, accompanied by a hearty laugh: "Great Water God, I have long admired your name, but seeing you in person is truly an honor."

Several water god guards frowned, their faces displeased.

They hadn't expected anyone to overstep their bounds in such a solemn setting, and were about to reprimand them when Funina reacted first and quickly said, "Me too, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Then reach out and grasp it.

She recognized the man in front of her; wasn't he the same guy who had come to her room late at night a while ago?

The other person rambled on and on in a foreign language, even revealing her identity, before leaving.

Oh, and this person also gave her a ring, which she carried with her even though she didn't wear it.

With so many people around, she absolutely dared not offend them.

If this guy accidentally reveals her true identity, then everything will be over.

Chapter 157: As I said before, the Water God is truly refreshing.

Xu Guang felt Fu Ningna's smooth little hand and knew when to stop.

After taking a step back, she smiled and looked at the other person: "Truly a benevolent deity. To have such contact with you, I have no regrets in this life."

Seeing what had just happened, and recalling Lord Fucarus's words, the guards assumed that this man was a fanatical fan, and at the same time, they were inwardly impressed.

Just as the other party said, the Water God is too gentle, and can still overlook the other party's offense.

Unbeknownst to them, Xu Guang was secretly transmitting his voice to Funina while speaking.

"I'll be in your room at 1 a.m. tonight. Remember to take a nice shower then."

Upon hearing this, Funina almost lost control of her expression.

What does it mean?

Should we talk to her like last time, or do we have ulterior motives?

But unfortunately, she can't do anything right now, nor can she confide in anyone; she can only nod stiffly.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Xu Guang's wicked thoughts grew stronger, but he restrained himself.

He was well aware of the predicament the girl faced; it was nothing more than the previous water god creating a group of unstable humans using the pure water spirits of the primordial sea.

Heaven would not allow such an act, so it issued a prophecy that one day in the future, the people of Fontaine would dissolve into the sea, leaving only the current water god Fucarus to silently weep on his throne.

But for Xu Guang, even if divine justice intervened, what difference would it make? It would just be another velvet ball in his dream world.

But he won't expose the other party's identity, otherwise it wouldn't be interesting, and how would the game proceed?

So after this brief encounter, Xu Guang took a few steps back, stood in the crowd, and made no further inappropriate moves.

Only Silly Fu was suspicious and worried for a long time.

She finally breathed a slight sigh of relief after the evening banquet ended.

At least you don't have to worry about your secrets being found out by others.

Funina walked home alone and sighed.

She is very worried that something terrible will happen to her tonight.

but……

I turned around and looked at the myriad lights behind me.

This is the place where she has lived for countless years, and it is also her most cherished treasure.

She would never give up so easily; otherwise, she would have stepped down long ago.

You should know that the divine side didn't tell her how long she would have to play the role. Even ancient emperors who ruled for decades would make many blunders, but she was going to play it for hundreds of years.
