Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Perhaps he was relieved to know that Su Zhe didn't dislike Mondstadt.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"Yes..." Qin thought for a moment and said, "It feels familiar."

"A familiar feeling? What do you mean?"

"It's nothing," Qin said with a smile. "Eat up, and I'll arrange accommodations for you when we get back to the Knights."

"Row."

Su Zhe smiled and picked up the braised chicken with flowers, then began to eat it heartily.

...

The news of Su Zhe's return to Mondstadt spread quickly the next day.

Early in the morning, before Su Zhe even got up, the entrance to the Knights' Order was already crowded with people.

"Your Excellency, I am your fan!"

The scene was even more lively than Miss Barbara's 'concert'.

However, in the end, all of these people were called away by Qin, who got up early to work.

“A ‘Wind God’s Messenger Support Group’ has suddenly appeared in Mondstadt. What is that? I’ve only ever heard of Barbara’s support group.”

"It is said that Su Zhe's fan club is full of pretty and sweet girls."

"A friend of mine wants to know where he/she can register!"

Although Su Zhe has been absent for some time, the popularity of things related to him has only increased.

Not showing up creates an air of mystery; after all, he is the messenger of the Wind God, how could he easily reveal himself?

Su Zhe was unaware of these matters. After finishing the breakfast prepared by Qin, he snuggled into Aunt Lisa's arms—the Mondstadt Library.

"What do you need the information from the God of Time for? That's a legendary god; it's not even certain if he exists."

Upon hearing Su Zhe's purpose, Lisa put down her teacup, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Isn't it precisely because it's a legend that we want to find it?"

Su Zhe shrugged. "Don't just ask, do you have it here or not?"

"Yes, there is, but..."

Lisa stood up and took a book from the bookshelf behind her and placed it on the table.

The book cover featured a sundial, and the entire book looked brand new, which puzzled Su Zhe.

How could a book that records information about the God of Time be so new under normal circumstances?

He sensed the aura of alchemy emanating from it.

"Look, there's only this one. It was found by the archaeologists in the Temple of a Thousand Winds. They said it took a lot of effort to get their hands on it. It was already there when I came to Mondstadt. Jean told me to keep it safe, although I don't think anyone would want to steal a book like this."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll see for yourself."

Su Zhe picked up the book, opened it, and was stunned.

"Why is there nothing here?"

blank.

Every page of the book is blank.

“Don’t look at me, that’s just how it is.” Lisa smiled helplessly. “I really want you to give me an answer. I’ve been researching this ever since I became a librarian, but unfortunately I haven’t gotten any results.”

"The strangest thing about this book is that it seems to never get damaged. It should be an old book, but it looks brand new, and the paper should be ordinary, but..."

As she spoke, Lisa gathered lightning elements in her hands and moved closer.

When the raging lightning element came into contact with the book pages, there was absolutely no reaction.

"It won't break no matter if it's exposed to fire, water, lightning, or even soaked in alchemical potions. I've never seen such a strange book in my life. It might be quite good as a weapon because it will never break."

Seeing this, Su Zhe finally understood why Lisa had made such a strange expression earlier.

"No elemental power..."

He stared at the book.

Then I tried to manipulate the power of time.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The sundial on the cover suddenly moved its gnomon, even making a slight sound.

Lisa looked completely astonished: "How did you do that?"

It's unbelievable, she's been researching this for so many years and there's still no reaction.

Did it work as soon as Su Zhe arrived?

"Perhaps we are destined to be together."

Su Zhe stopped channeling his time-manipulation power and said with a smile, "I'll take this book."

"Hey~ don't stop, don't just think about your own happiness, let me see it too."

With the secret that had been kept for so many years about to be revealed, Lisa naturally wanted to take a look.

However, for her own good, Su Zhe refused the request.

After all, the fewer people who know the secrets about time, the better.

"Honestly, I shouldn't have given it to you."

Lisa snorted, clearly very unhappy, extremely unhappy. Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge left her unsatisfied.

Suddenly, Aunt Lisa's eyes lit up, and she looked at Su Zhe with a smile.

"By the way, how far have things progressed between you and Qin? Have you held hands? Kissed? Did you stick your tongue out?"

Su Zhe: "???"

Aunt Lisa, please calm down, I'm really scared.

"Didn't anything happen last night? I specifically called a whole group of people away."

"No."

"Really?"

"Nonsense." Su Zhe rolled his eyes. "What do you expect? My relationship with Qin isn't as dramatic as you're making it out to be. Kissing, French kissing, why don't you mention 'slippery lips'?"

Can you?

Su Zhe obviously wouldn't, but Barbara had mentioned Qin before, but he didn't feel the same way when he was with Qin last night.

How to put it? He felt that Jean was more likely trying to gain his approval by being grateful to him and using him as the Anemo Archon's representative in Mondstadt, with the aim of fulfilling her duties.

Simply put, Jean just wanted to prove to him or the Anemo Archon that Mondstadt was getting better and better.

As for the so-called liking, at least for now, it's not that obvious.

"Even if you say that, in my opinion, Qin already considers you special."

Lisa sighed softly, "Oh, that silly girl, once she gets into work she forgets everything, and sometimes she might not even be able to tell whether it's her own feelings or her consideration for Mondstadt."

“As a friend, I don’t want to see her come to her senses one day and find that she can only go to the tree in the wind-blown place alone and feel the ‘wind of freedom’ that is only for her. In my opinion, it is Mond who has restricted Jean’s freedom.”

"Did Mondstadt restrict the freedom of the piano?"

Everyone is pursuing freedom in Mondstadt, but Jean's freedom is bound by Mondstadt. It seems that no matter what she does, her first thought is always 'for Mondstadt'.

Su Zhe remembered a classic line from the game, spoken by Qin: "Everyone in the Knights... have you been working diligently?"

Whenever he heard this sentence, he couldn't help but think that Qin was a capitalist who exploited the poor workers. However, in fact, she was the one who was exploited the most.

“Then you must like the zither even a little bit,” Lisa said, giving an example. “Look at it, in terms of appearance, figure, family background, personality, and martial arts skills, the zither is perfect in every way.”

"If you meet a woman like that and don't marry her, are you even a man?"

Su Zhe shook his head: "You talk as if I could marry her."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lisa urged. "I can help you leave an indelible mark on her."

"???"

Hey, Auntie, take it easy! I just turned the corner and the steering wheel is gone!

However, well, this suggestion seems a bit tempting... oops!

That's disgusting!

For Su Zhe, physical pleasures are all fleeting; he doesn't really care about things like being beautiful, having a good figure, or having big breasts.

Compared to these, inner beauty is the true beauty, isn't it?

Of course, Qin was also very happy inside.

If I really have to say whether I like it or not, I definitely like it more.

Not to mention the piano, Su Zhe also likes Aunt Lisa in front of him, but that's just human nature.

To be honest, my interactions with Qin are quite different.

As the saying goes, familiarity breeds fondness.

"Okay, stop thinking about these things. If... well, if possible, let nature take its course. Besides, it's not like I'm leaving anytime soon."

If he doesn't find what he wants to know in this book, he'll have to go find Wendy.

Since the Lantern Festival is still a while away, it's good to spend some more time in Mondstadt.

Lisa shrugged and finally stopped talking.

As soon as Su Zhe left the library, he saw Qin walking towards him with a worried expression and a sigh.

"what happened?"

"Huh? Su Zhe... um, I've run into a little trouble."

Jean hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's about Noelle."
