He changed Tiwat

He recited the ancient Chinese mantra written by Xingqiu: "Free from the constraints of things, weightless; the one who cuts the rain is the rain, the one who pierces the light is the light. Moving like a dragon or snake, impossible to grasp; blue eyes are swords, sidelong glances are spears."

"The 'Piercing Light Technique' of our sect is very important to me. The ins and outs of this matter are somewhat complicated, and I will explain it to you in detail later. I want to learn the 'Piercing Light Technique' in order to master an important inheritance left by Ancestor Hu... Gu Hua—'Pupil Technique'."

"...'Pupil technique'?"

Xingqiu suddenly looked at Han Fulai's waist—the blank Eye of God hanging on his waist was still white, without any luster.

What use is it for Brother Han to master "pupil techniques" if he hasn't awakened the Eye of God?

Han Fulai stared intently into her eyes: "This 'pupil technique' is not the 'eye of the gods,' but the true 'pupil technique,' the technique of the pupil."

"Xingqiu, look into my eyes."

Xingqiu looked back blankly, only to see a faint golden light shining in those dark, black eyes. Then, the gold gradually filled his pupils, turning into an amber-gold color—Xingqiu had seen Han Fulai's pupils change color when he used his immortal power before, but she felt that this time seemed different from before…

She saw herself reflected in those golden eyes—in her reflection, there was a faint, black line, carrying the meaning of death.

There was no reason, just an intuition, and this intuition told Xingqiu that the person being stared at by these eyes would die.

She shivered inexplicably.

Then she heard her brother Han say, "Xingqiu, you have the 'Flowing Moon Needle,' so you should have heard of the 'Gap of Death'... Now, like the 'Gun Witch' from a thousand years ago, I can see the 'Gap of Death' on people."

Birthday Bounty to Celebrate the Third Anniversary of This Book's Publication

Yes, this is my fourth birthday since I started writing books on Hedgehog Cat, and also the third anniversary of the serialization of this book, "He Changed Teyvat".

This book was published in June 2022, and it has been three years since then, now in June 2025.

The book has already reached over 4.6 million words, growing from an unseen seedling into a behemoth—and without realizing it, it has become the "longest-running, most-word-length, and longest-lived" Genshin Impact fanfiction by Hedgehog Cat...

This book has witnessed Hedgehog Cat's journey from "Original Collapse Ship" to "Go Iron Hammer". Now, this book is probably one of the few Genshin Impact fanfics you can see on the homepage every month, and it should also be the only "serious fanfic" that follows the original storyline, haha.

Speaking of which, the 618 Squirrel banner a couple of days ago was super exciting. Genshin Impact, that five-year-old thing, has stirred things up again, and our fanfiction creators have also stirred things up once more.

Okay, let's get down to business first: the reward.

This time we're offering a bounty with a cap of 10 chapters. I'm currently stockpiling chapters and will finish paying out the bounty within a month, from June to the end of July.

And as you know, I usually update more than the limit by a lot, and I occasionally update long chapters of 5 or 6 words. In fact, I probably write more than I would for a bounty.

The bounty rules remain the same:

1st update, 2000 words.

100 monthly votes for 1 update.

100 blades, 1 more.

One chapter will be updated with a reward of 10000 cat coins.

最近刺猬猫在搞618促销，本书也正好在打折，我觉得这个悬赏额度应该还是比较好完成滴。悬赏日期为6月20日0点到6月26日24点，也就是促销活动结束时悬赏结束。

Current data screenshot:

I'd like to thank you all in advance for your support! Your support is my biggest motivation to keep updating!

To thank everyone for their support, I'll probably be opening a treasure chest for this book tonight at my own expense to celebrate. I'll let everyone know in the reader group then, consider it a reward for everyone~ (Of course, the treasure chests I open myself won't count in the bounty).

I will remember the support from viewers who exceeded the bounty limit during the bounty period, and I will try my best to update more often in return—but the timing is uncertain...

Then I'll explain why there's a cap on the bounty this time—because if I owed too much of an unlimited bounty, I'd have to pay it back for a year, and the New Year's bounty would be paid back until the end of the year... This is a painful lesson from the past two years.

So this time it'll be 10 chapters, I really can't go any more.

Moreover, as you know, this book isn't written in the style of someone who just closes their eyes and works themselves to the bone, writing as much as they want.

Readers who have read several chapters in their entirety should be able to appreciate that when I was writing this book, I was simultaneously writing the plot of the first volume and thinking about the echoes in the third volume. It can be said that almost every stroke I made was taken into consideration for what would happen next, so that all the questions would be answered.

This will inevitably lead to a slower writing speed.

In addition, this book pays great attention to detail and research on the original work. While arranging the plot, it also unravels many hidden plots in the original work and combines them with fan fiction to form a timeline that perfectly blends the original setting and the fan fiction. Of course, research also takes time. Now, every time I log into the game, it's like searching for academic papers on CNKI. I take screenshots and take notes while playing through the plot. *laughs*

Shen He's decision-making power is also very important—I've endured hundreds of event information messages in the background for the past three years. Even free chapters like bounty chapters and research chapters have to pass Shen He's scrutiny. Now, I self-regulate every chapter before publishing it.

This is what I said in the group before: "I wrote this book while secretly practicing a set of Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and then combined them into one palm to release it, but you can only see me release one chapter."

That's the truth.

There are also some practical factors: since 2025, my health has indeed deteriorated, I have been sick several times, my sleep schedule has been somewhat irregular, and my sleep quality is quite poor...

In 2022, 2023, and 2024, I received the perfect attendance bonus almost every month, but in 2025, I... didn't receive it even once (proudly).

So... someone who can't even get perfect attendance is just asking for trouble by offering an unlimited bounty.

Okay, lastly, I'd like to wish myself a happy birthday, and also a happy birthday to this book, "He Changed Teyvat".

I hope to be with you all until the very end. Thank you so much! Love you all! (づ￣3￣)づ╭?～

Chapter 355 Flowing Moon Dragon Bone, Shattered Dream Treasures [5k]

(Special thanks to Hu Ye and August Storm for the silver treasure chest, and Lawson, Qingling Weijingshi, and Shuke361728794479 for the 10,000 cat coins reward, which got me to number four on the bestseller list in half a day... I haven't been on the front page for a long time since I've been a lazy bum, thank you so much for your kindness, I am grateful beyond words, and I will repay you with extra chapters~)

Upon hearing Han Fulai mention the "Flowing Moon Needle," Xingqiu couldn't help but pause in surprise.

She remembered things from her childhood.

At that time, Xingqiu was not yet the second young master who could make a fortune for the "Flying Cloud Merchant Guild" and make a great name for himself in and around Liyue Harbor. He was just a little girl who had just turned ten, with a beautiful face and was loved by her father and brothers.

Xingqiu's childhood name was Qiuqiu. Back then, her older brother would call out "Qiuqiu, Qiuqiu" whenever he came home. Occasionally, when the workers from the merchant guild delivered goods to the mansion, they would hear the young master calling out and think that he had a bird as a pet.

At times like this, "Pet Qiuqiu" would usually pounce on the older brother's leg and pester him for a book to read.

Yes, before Xingqiu was allowed to leave the house, she had to ask her older brother for help if she wanted to read.

Xiao Qiuqiu, who spends all her time confined to her study, naturally doesn't like to read serious academic works. Instead, she usually reads unofficial histories and anecdotes from the streets—in short, the kind of "leisure books" that don't suit her status as a young lady from a wealthy family.

Whether it's due to bloodline inheritance or what she's been exposed to, among all the "leisure books," Xiao Qiuqiu's favorite is the story of heroes and knights-errant, and she especially loves the kind of stories about chivalrous couples traveling the world with swords.

The reason why she has such a strong preference for martial arts stories is because of the hidden weapons in her family's storage room.

The Liyue Yun Clan started out as a forging family business, and their family treasury contains countless treasures, including all eighteen kinds of weapons, each with an extraordinary origin.

Xingqiu loved to wander around inside since she was a child, listening to the elders tell the stories of those strange weapons, and then imagining herself holding one of those divine weapons and roaming the world as a chivalrous knight-errant. Of course, at that time, her father and brothers did not realize what little Qiuqiu was thinking. They just thought it was the yearning of a child from a family of forging masters for the masterpieces of masters, and they encouraged her to go and see more of the casting skills of the senior masters.

The weapons collected by the Yun Clan are naturally extraordinary, including masterpieces and craftsmanship from the three major forging houses of Liyue, such as the world's first "Prototype Guhua", the first "Blackrock Dagger" produced by the "Blackrock Factory", and even the "Relic Jade Dragon" which is said to have been crafted by the immortals of Shenyu Valley... all of which are displayed in the treasury.

Of all those treasures, Xiao Qiuqiu's favorites were a gun and a sword.

The spear was a light, nimble lance, shaped like a long needle, and called the "Crescent Moon Needle"; the sword was a heavy greatsword, with jagged joints, and called the "Dragon Bone Sword".

The spear and the sword were placed side by side.

Xingqiu's father once told her that the owners of these two weapons were from the neighboring country of Mondstadt.

The owner of the "Crescent Moon Needle" was a woman whose real name was never recorded. In the bard's stories, she is usually referred to as the "Witch of the Spear".

The "Crescent Moon Needle" was a weapon personally crafted by the "Gun Witch." It is said that the "Gun Witch" possessed a pair of sapphire-like eyes, which held the witch's magic and allowed her to see the "death gaps" on all objects.

Let alone ordinary steel armor, even real rocks cannot withstand the spearhead of the "Crescent Moon Needle". In fact, the reason why this spear was designed in this way is to be able to accurately pierce the "death gap" as small as a needle tip.

A thousand years ago, the "Gun Witch" was the most famous assassin in all of Teyvat, and countless souls perished under her spear. Her last mission was to kill the owner of the "Dragonbone Sword".

The owner of the "Dragonbone Sword" was Parzival, a famous figure in Mondstadt a thousand years ago, known as "The Flash of the Dark Alley," a chivalrous thief praised by the people.

Legend has it that Parzival was born into a noble family in Mondstadt, whose status was no less than that of the Liyue Yun clan, and who was also the successor to the clan's patriarch. However, Parzival was driven by a sense of justice and abandoned his noble status to uphold justice for the people of Mondstadt.

He secretly joined an organization that rebelled against the nobles and royal family, raising the banner of rebellion against the Lawrence family, who then ruled Mondstadt. The "Witch of the Gun" was hired by the nobles and royal family to assassinate Parzival.

Parzival is also said to be a skilled swordsman, and always carries a rapier with a noble air—the sacrificial sword that Xingqiu greatly admires, and also one of the weapons that the chivalrous thief Parzival once used.

His swordsmanship was said to be as fast as a flash of light, so he preferred extremely thin and fine one-handed swords. However, despite Parzival's strong swordsmanship, he was no match for the "Witch of the Spear" and was hunted down by her several times in Mondstadt, nearly dying on several occasions.

Parzival then fled alone to Liyue Harbor, where he lived in anonymity and became a sailor at the docks. Because of his exceptional martial arts skills and generous nature, he was well-liked within the fleet and eventually rose through the ranks to become the first mate.

But the "Gun Witch" has never been able to escape her target, and she followed Parzival all the way to Liyue Harbor.

Parzival was sailing with a fleet at the time, and the "Gun Witch" also hired a ship to follow them—neither of them ever returned.

Parzival and the "Gun Witch" encountered the then-dominant ruler of the sea, "Chiwen".

This colossal sea monster, with a dragon's head and a fish's body, was several times larger than the "Sea Mountain," the demonic beast slain by the "Sea Dragon King" Beidou, truly a behemoth of the sea. It would swallow any passing ship whole; only a hundred ships could escape its jaws. Moreover, this Chiwen was incredibly cunning, usually lurking in the sea and wandering aimlessly, its whereabouts unknown even to the immortals under the Emperor's command.

When the fleet encountered the Chiwen, it was as if they had encountered their destined death. It was fate, and there was nothing they could do.

Parzival went out to sea that day and encountered the monstrous beast Chiwen, while the "Gun Witch" who was chasing Parzival also happened to encounter the giant sea monster...

The rest of the story is based entirely on the storyteller's speculation—because the people involved never returned, and no one witnessed the fierce naval battle.

All that people knew was that a few days later, the remains of a deep-sea monster were brought ashore by the ocean waves, revealing stark white bones through the wounds ripped open by sharp swords, while its blood had long since been washed away by the ocean currents.

Along with the giant beast's skeleton, a long spear was stuck in its spine... this is the "Crescent Moon Needle".

It is likely that the rogue and the witch joined forces in a final battle against the Chiwen, ultimately perishing together. For the next several centuries, before the appearance of the monster "Hyjal"—perhaps a descendant of "Chiwen"—the fleets of Liyue Harbor were no longer attacked by sea monsters.

Regardless of the entanglement between Parzival and the "Gun Witch," or whether their battle with Chiwen was out of necessity, the fact remains that they rid the people of Liyue of a great scourge.

The boatmen of Liyue Harbor, grateful for Parzival and the "Witch of the Gun," composed and sang songs in their honor:

"The wine-stained boat cap was blown high into the air by the storm and carried away by the waves."

"Those who are destined to lose their homeland are engaged in hopeless and pointless conflicts."

"What they lost in the sea of ​​memories, they are asking the deep sea for..."

In the folk songs people created, the thief who abandoned his clan's name and the witch who hunted him eventually became friends, wandering the world and becoming a legendary couple.

Later, the spear, along with the remains of the Chiwen, were acquired by the ancestors of the Yun clan. The spine of the sea beast pierced by the spear was removed by the Yun clan ancestors and forged into this Chiwen Greatsword, which was then stored in the family's armory as a memorial.

As a child, Xingqiu was deeply fascinated by this legend, and she would always imagine what kind of collision had occurred between the sword of the chivalrous thief and the gun of the witch, and what kind of thrilling story had taken place... So she begged her doting older brother to find more stories about that sword and gun for her.

There is probably no brother in this world who can refuse his sister's request, especially a brother who thinks his sister is the cutest in the world.

So Xingqiu's older brother really searched through all the book stalls in Liyue Harbor for her and brought her back a copy of "Shattered Dreams".

"Shattered Dreams" is a collection of fantasy stories widely circulated throughout the countries of Teyvat. Its story is set in a seemingly nonexistent antique shop.

"It is said that in the city, there is a little corner forgotten by the wind. If you close your eyes in front of the fountain, wait for your heart to beat thirty-five times, then walk seven times clockwise and seven times counterclockwise, and then open your eyes, you will find that your footsteps have led you to a small shop..."

"It is said that in the port city, there is a little corner forgotten by the mountains and the sound of the waves. Just close your eyes in a place where the sea breeze is blowing, and walk forty-nine steps away from the noise. When the sound of your heartbeat completely drowns out the sounds of people, open your eyes and you will find that your footsteps have led you to a small shop..."

Yes, that's what this antique shop is like.

The owner of the antique shop was a woman with long, narrow, fox-like eyes. Her pupils shone with a golden luster like amber, as if she could see through all the secrets of the world.

She seems immortal, wandering to every corner of this continent—she was selling amber crafted by the Emperor himself before Liyue Harbor was even established, and a thousand years after Mondstadt's founding, she could still find the wolf fangs of the North Wind Wolf King in her shop… In short, this mysterious fox-eyed woman and her antique shop have become an urban legend of Teyvat. In her shop, you can buy anything you want, as long as you can afford the price.

Even more legendary is the book itself, "Shattered Dreams and Strange Treasures".

"Shattered Dreams and Strange Treasures" is already an urban legend.

No one knows who its author is, nor which publisher printed it; it could appear anywhere—in the corner of the Knights' Library, on the counter of the "Manbunshusha," or in the storeroom of the "Yaedo"...

Different people and different places have discovered different versions of "The Treasures of Broken Dreams", and the stories recorded in them are also different.

A book lover once commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to contact all the owners of "Shattered Dreams" in the world, attempting to piece together all the existing copies of "Shattered Dreams" to explore the book's plot, the origin of its story, and the identity of its author...

However, the copy of "The Treasures of Broken Dreams" owned by the bibliophile who initiated the project disappeared shortly after he posted the commission, and the commission was changed to searching for the missing "The Treasures of Broken Dreams," and ultimately nothing came of it.

—It's as if the author of that book, or the book itself, is warning readers not to try to uncover the secrets behind it.

Why should someone who eats eggs need to know the hen that laid them?

Xingqiu's older brother was very lucky to find this book, "Shattered Dreams and Wonders," in a corner of "Wanwen Collection House." Even more fortunate, the book contained the story of a chivalrous thief and a witch that Xiaoqiu really wanted to know!

That book was kept in Xingqiu's boudoir, and Xingqiu read it over and over again, until even the corners of the book were worn rough.

She can still recall the contents of the book:

The chivalrous thief Parzival entered the fox-woman's antique shop, intending to "take away"...or rather, "steal" something from the shop.

That stuff is called "Moonlight," and it's the shop owner's homemade liquor.

Legend has it that in ancient times, amidst howling icy winds, the early inhabitants of Mondstadt secretly brewed this wine deep within the snow and ice to survive. Later, as people lived fulfilling and happy lives, they forgot the method of making this wine. The only one who remembers the brewing method is this antique shop owner.

Those who drink "Moonlight" can completely forget one thing.

Even if it's someone who is very, very important to him, once he drinks that pot of "Moonlight," that person will disappear from his heart—although his heart will forever be left with an empty void that no matter what kind of encounter he has, it cannot be filled... just like moonlight, no matter how you reach out, you can't grasp it.

Parzival is a Robin Hood-like figure.

Not only was he a master swordsman, but he was also an expert thief. Even the most precious swords kept by nobles and royalty, or the exquisite silver urns under heavy guard, could be easily seized by him.

But Parzival failed with this fox-eyed shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper somehow managed to retrieve the bottle of "Moonlight" from Parzival's sleeve, and Parzival couldn't even tell how she did it.

“Every item here has its buyer. At some point in the future, it will have already been purchased,” the fox-eyed woman said.
