He changed Tiwat

When Han Fulai resonated with that gentleman's "Tao," all the demons and monsters, including the sea god, were nothing but historical reactionaries and would eventually be swept into the dustbin of history!

This is a "Tao" that transcends the continent of Teyvat, a "Tao" that can sweep away all harmful pests and is invincible!

Shen He's eyes remained lifeless; even after expelling the Sea God's will, she had not regained her senses. Besides her original immortal power, her body now contained the power of a demon god uncontrolled by the Sea God's will, the earth vein power injected by Han Fulai, and Gan Yu's immortal power. Controlling and managing these powers would take Shen He a very long time, even if she were fully conscious.

However, Han Fulai had another emergency solution.

He took out the Eye of God that Shen He had thrown away earlier.

Shen He obtained this Eye of God when he was six years old, during a battle with the will of the remnants of the Sea God. It symbolizes Shen He's strong and unyielding will. More importantly, a piece of red string used to tie his hair remains on this Eye of God.

Han Fulai squatted down, gathered Shen He's loose hair, and gently tied the red rope around Shen He's neck.

Shen He's consciousness struggled to swim in the sea of ​​consciousness, but she could not reach the surface. Several undercurrents surged within the sea, constantly pushing her deeper and deeper, as if trying to bury her consciousness forever in the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

But Shen He didn't know what giving up meant; she only had one thought—towards the light on the sea.

She also remembered that a voice was calling to her.

Just then, that familiar voice entered Shen He's mind.

The undercurrents in his mind suddenly disappeared, transforming into a calm ocean.

Shen He's consciousness surfaced, and his eyes regained their luster.

She saw Han Fulai's smiling face; it wasn't particularly handsome, but it warmed her heart.

She heard that familiar voice say, "Shen He, I've come to take you home."

Come back home.

Since being abandoned by her biological father at the age of six, Shen He has lost a home to return to. But now, he says he wants to take her home.

He risked everything for her, he fought against the demon god for her, and then he brought her home.

She has a home again.

Shen He hugged Han Fulai tightly, resting his head on his shoulder. For the first and only time in more than ten years, he let his emotions run wild, letting tears flow freely.

This was the first time Han Fulai had seen this previously unknown side of Shen He, and the first time he had realized that this strong girl also longed for someone to lean on. He awkwardly hugged Shen He, gently patting her back, and whispered comfortingly, "Shen He, don't cry. The demon has been defeated. It's alright now..."

His voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible.

Shen He suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head in confusion and saw Han Fulai silently collapsing onto his shoulder, even the hands that had been holding her earlier now hanging limply at his sides.

"Han... Brother Han?" Shen He tried calling out, but Han Fulai didn't respond.

Shen He helped Han Fulai up and found that Han Fulai's eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his breathing was weak.

She touched Han Fulai's forehead with her hand, and the spot where she touched it was frighteningly hot.

Shen He tentatively channeled some immortal power into Han Fulai's body along his wrist pulse, but his hand trembled as if the immortal power had hit a wall and couldn't advance an inch.

The meridians in Han Fulai's body are now like highways after an earthquake, broken and blocked everywhere.

"...Going astray in cultivation?" Shen He recalled the term his master had used.

Chapter 121 You Are My Red String

When the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng led Shenhe into the Immortal Sect, he told her that the first priority in immortal arts is cultivating the mind. The greater the power of immortal energy, the more powerful the mental energy must be to control it.

This is not only to guide Shen He to eliminate his murderous thoughts and walk the right path, but also to enable cultivators to protect themselves.

The human body is filled with major meridians, and immortal energy circulates within these meridians. If this energy is lost and surges uncontrollably, it can cause internal injuries that are difficult to heal and leave hidden dangers, or even sever all meridians, leading to death and the dissipation of one's spiritual essence.

Han Fulai's current condition is that his meridians are broken and his qi and blood are stagnant. In the words of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, this is "going into qi deviation".

If Han Fulai knew his current situation, he would probably regret the series of celestial events that occurred before—even Zhongli himself wouldn't dare to do that so easily.

Great power never comes without a price.

The power of the earth's veins is inherently violent. Han Fulai had only recently grasped the mental cultivation method, and his mind and body were not yet in harmony. Absorbing the power of the earth's veins was already a great risk. In order to suppress the Sea God, he repeatedly used the power of the celestial stars, which was like a child wielding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade wildly. It was only because he didn't injure himself that he was considered to be protected by the Emperor.

Confucianism emphasizes self-cultivation, requiring a gradual approach: first, "investigating things to acquire knowledge," then "cultivating sincerity and rectifying the mind," followed by "cultivating oneself and regulating one's family," and finally "governing the state and bringing peace to the world." Han Fulai's last-minute scrambling, leaping directly from "pseudo-immortal" to "pseudo-god," jumping straight to "governing the state and bringing peace to the world," was powerful enough, but also extremely damaging to him.

In fact, he was able to use the Heavenly Movement twice in a row thanks to the "Heavenly Splendor of Descending Souls" in his body, which helped him repair his meridians. Otherwise, he would have been kneeling on the ground and vomiting blood when he used the Heavenly Movement twice.

Moreover, in order to expel the consciousness of the Sea God, he used the "Dao" of that Chinese gentleman, a power capable of "changing the world." If the movement of the heavens and the myriad phenomena was driven by the power of a "false god," then his subsequent "sweeping away of all harmful insects" was done with the power of a "true god."

This was not a power he was qualified to use at the moment; in just that one strike, all the meridians in his body were severely damaged.

Later, in order not to harm Shen He, Han Fulai also passed on the power of "Jiang Zhong Tian Hua" to Shen He.

This is equivalent to him having an invincibility cheat active while unleashing a powerful attack that causes continuous damage, and then turning off the invincibility cheat afterward. The consequence, naturally, is continuous damage until he dies.

Shen He didn't know exactly what Han Fulai had done to cause him to go mad, but she knew the reason why Han Fulai went mad—to save her.

The scene of Han Fulai being knocked away by Ba Che flashed before her eyes once again.

She released the power of the demon god to protect someone important to her, but in the end, that important person had to die before her eyes.

No, she couldn't accept it. She had finally found someone she wanted to protect, and a home she could return to; she didn't want to lose it all.

What should she do now?

Should she take Han Fulai out to seek medical help? Or go find her master? Putting aside whether there's enough time, she doesn't even know where her master is right now.

Shen He quickly calmed down because she knew that she was the only one who could save Han Fulai now.

Shen He's cultivation techniques on the mountain were mostly for self-preservation and protection, and her mental cultivation focused on methods to calm the mind and regulate qi. She was not skilled in medicine, but she knew how to deal with qi deviation.

After all, she was possessed by the remnants of a demon god from a young age and corrupted by murderous intent, which is a kind of "possession by demons". Therefore, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun taught her many ways to deal with it.

According to the idea of ​​the True Lord of Clouds and Wind, it's probably about learning whatever is useful or not.

Most of these methods require practitioners to cultivate in seclusion, such as the "Binding Spirit and Connecting True Technique Seal," which obviously cannot be taught to Han Fulai at this time. However, Shen He remembered that her master had once told her about a method to help those who had gone astray by using external force to unblock their meridians. When her learned master mentioned this method, he only mentioned it briefly as a topic of conversation. Because her master's explanation was strange, Shen He kept it in mind.

“Shen He, this dual cultivation method of ‘intercourse and energy transfer’ requires the balance of Yin and Yang, and the harmony of water and fire, so it can only be used with important people.” That’s what Master said at the time.

"Master, can you demonstrate for me?" Shen He asked innocently, still a child at the time.

"Ahem, this immortal... cannot demonstrate." True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng was unusually embarrassed.

"Why?" Shen He asked, puzzled.

"Because this immortal cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness!" At that time, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng arrogantly left behind these words and fled in a panic. This was probably the only time in Shen He's memory that his master was driven away by his own words.

It wasn't until later, when she asked the True Lord of Water and Mountain and the True Lord of Moon and Sun, that she pieced together from their vague explanations that the method of "intercourse and qi transfer" required a man and a woman to use, and that the True Lord of Cloud and Wind, being a woman, could not use it with Shen He.

Shen He still remembers the two True Lords explaining to her very seriously that although her master was a crane, human children were not delivered by cranes. Although this method of "intercourse and qi transfer" was a medical procedure, it was very likely to bring the "byproduct" of having a child, so it was necessary to be very careful.

In short, now is probably the time to use this method.

Shen He gently stroked Han Fulai's cheek with one hand and brushed a strand of hair from his temple with the other before bending down to lay him down.

"Brother Han, I will save you."

Shen He kissed his lips.

Shen He skillfully pried open his tightly clenched jaw and sent in a stream of condensed ice immortal power—she was going to share her "qi" with him.

In his hazy state, Han Fulai felt a clear stream flowing through his body, nourishing his internal organs.

He opened his eyes a crack, only to see Shen He's jade-like face pressed tightly against his. Her eyes were closed, her eyelashes long and delicate.

"...Shen He,...what are you doing?" Han Fulai called out Shen He's name with difficulty, his confused mind unable to comprehend the situation before him.

Seeing Han Fulai awaken, Shen He knew his treatment was beginning to show results. However, the treatment wasn't over yet, and Shen He didn't want to stop.

Shen Heqin lowered her head slightly, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "My master gave me a red rope to suppress my temper, but after spending time with you these days, I've realized... you are the true red rope that can bind me. If you understand this feeling, please stay by my side."

Han Fulai felt a sudden thud in his chest, as if something had shattered.

"Brother Han, from now on... call me Ahe." After Shen He finished speaking, he pressed his lips to his again.

After combing her fragrant hair, which was now disheveled, she smiled and casually placed the golden phoenix sash askew. Her jade-like face, adorned by her beauty, was now as enchanting as a cloud, almost edible.

The crow's color is rich and thick, the sparrow's light is cold and piercing; such elegance surpasses even the sight of one beside one's pillow.

The crescent moon, pale and delicate, seems to mimic a frown, its charm boundless and its spirit boundless. Head bowed, it seems to think of Zhang Chang, a delicate pattern of silk subtly weaving spring's beauty.

The mountains are verdant, the willows are fresh, and the mirror-like surface is spotless.

A ripple on the clear water, where flowers and the moon are clearly visible. A captivating scene, where dreams linger after a few drinks.

A delicate charm, a horn conveying affection, tears welling up in countless places from longing.

Her love surpasses the clouds and dreams of the Chu Dynasty, her joy exceeds the traces of ice and dew at dawn. Her exquisite beauty defies description, her delicate charm revealed only in her eyes and brows.

Why bother with the middle part? The intertwined branches are already intertwined.

Chapter 122 Ke Qing and Gan Yu are working overtime

Since Gan Yu froze the entrance to the whirlpool, Han Fulai and Shen He have disappeared from the sea surface for more than an hour.

Even immortals can only sense the situation below from the aura emanating from the sea surface; they know nothing about the specific details. As for Ke Qing, waiting this long had already pushed her patience to its limit.

Just as Ke Qing could no longer contain herself and was about to disregard Gan Yu's obstruction and go to investigate, two figures broke through the ice barrier and leaped out of the sea.

"They're out!" Ke Qing was overjoyed and quickly went to greet them. Gan Yu followed closely behind.

Shen He stepped onto the sea surface, crossed the ice, and came out hand in hand with Han Fulai.

Shen He's blue Yuehaiting uniform had been changed into a different one, a size too big. Clearly, Han Fulai had given Shen He his own clothes to change into.

Gan Yu noticed a large hole in the chest of the uniform, stained with a lot of blood, suggesting a fierce battle had taken place underwater.

The two walked to the beach of Guyun Pavilion and met up with Gan Yu and Ke Qing.

"Have you already defeated Ba Che?" Ke Qing asked anxiously.

Shen He nodded calmly and replied, "It's taken care of. It was injured before it submerged, so it didn't take us much effort."

Han Fulai smiled. Shen He spoke casually, making it seem as if Ba Che was easily defeated, but in reality, it was a powerful enemy that could only be defeated after the seal on the remnants of the demon god was broken.

Gan Yu, however, was concerned about another question: "Are you... injured?"

“I’m fine, but Brother Han…”

"I'm fine too."

Shen He was about to continue speaking when Han Fulai stopped him.

He replied to Gan Yu with a relaxed expression, "I was slightly injured before, but thanks to Ahe's help, I'm fine. I'll be alright after resting for a while."

Of course, things weren't as simple as he made them out to be. After he and Shen He exchanged energy, his broken meridians were repaired, preventing him from becoming a cripple or dying. However, the newly formed meridians were extremely fragile and required continued care. In short, for quite some time, he wouldn't be able to use immortal power or the power of the earth's veins.

However, Han Fulai himself didn't care too much. After all, as a clerical secretary, it was rare for him to go into battle, and besides... Shen He would protect him.

However, Gan Yu and Ke Qing understood something else in his words.

Ke Qing stared at Han Fulai and blinked: "...'Brother Han'?"

Gan Yu frowned as she looked at her junior sister: "...'Ahe'?"

The atmosphere on Guyun Pavilion Beach suddenly became extremely strange.

Many years later, a Liyue artist created a world-famous painting based on the account of a Thousand Rock Army soldier on the beach of Guyun Pavilion, titled "Keqing and Ganyu working overtime".

The image shows a black-haired youth and a white-haired girl alone at the bottom of the sea, their expressions tender and affectionate.

Someone asked the painter, "Who is this man?"

The painter replied, "Secretary-General Han."

Who is that woman?

"Secretary Assistant Shen He."

"What about Lady Keqing and Lady Ganyu?"

"Ke Qing and Gan Yu are working overtime."

Han Fulai naturally had no idea how their meeting today would be perceived, but he was too embarrassed to openly discuss his "medical treatment" with Shen He, so he could only cough awkwardly a few times.

Fortunately, someone came to his rescue.

"How was the situation underwater just now?" Ningguang's voice came through.

Surrounded by Qianyan Army, Ningguang gracefully approached.

Han Fulai and Ningguang met eyes, and Ningguang nodded slightly. Han Fulai knew that Ningguang's speech to the guests at Qunyu Pavilion had been a great success.

He briefly recounted his battle with Ba Che to Ning Guang, of course, attributing all the credit to Shen He, without mentioning anything about the remnants of the Sea God.

Upon hearing that Ba Che was dead, Ning Guang smiled with relief.

"That's good. In any case, we've managed to get through this crisis safely. Please come to Qunyu Pavilion later, and I will treat you well."
