Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

Yun Jin gently shook her head. "Immortals live in the mountains and fields. I would like to meet them, but unfortunately, several times when I went to the mountains, I was stopped halfway by the people of Yunhan Society. They said it was dangerous in the mountains, but I didn't think so."

Although she isn't good at fighting, she is still someone with the Divine Eye.

It's sufficient for dealing with ordinary monsters.

From the game's storyline, Su Zhe knew that the head of Yunhan Society was not as docile as he appeared.

Unlike on stage, Yun Jin is also mischievous and willful in private, which gives the people of Yunhan Society a headache.

However, Su Zhe told her all this with Shen He's sake in mind.

He looked at the goddess herself beside him and saw that Shen He was lost in thought, his eyes glazed over.

He smiled and asked, "Does Shen He like this story?"

"...I don't know. Rather than saying I like it, I would say I hope it is like this."

Shen He's voice carried a distinct sense of dejection.

This story brought back some unpleasant memories for her.

Yun Jin looked puzzled: "I hope... does Miss Shen He know the real story?"

“I don’t know.” Su Zhe shook his head gently. “Yun Jin, the character you sang in the play is actually Shen He himself.”

"Huh!?"

Yun Jin was genuinely startled.

"So... Shen He does indeed fit those people's descriptions quite well, but..."

Although she had her doubts, after spending time with Shen He, she felt that his story was different from the one she had heard.

Some who have seen the white-haired immortal in person say that he is a kind and warm-hearted immortal. Although it is difficult to judge his kindness, his enthusiasm is obvious.

"When others tell you something, they inevitably bring their own feelings into it, especially when you are saved in a moment of crisis. Even if the other person is a devil, you will feel that he is a god."

“That makes sense…” Yun Jin pondered for a moment, “Then what is the true Goddess Pi Guan?”

"It's hard to say, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

Su Zhe led the two to the village where Shen He had been a child.

Su Zhe had seen this place before when he broke into Shen He's dream in the Guyun Pavilion sea area.

However, compared to before, the village has been abandoned for many years now. It is overgrown with weeds, and the houses are dilapidated and in disrepair.

"here it is?"

Yun Jin looked puzzled.

Shen He remained silent, quietly gazing at this place that felt both familiar and strange to him.

In fact, she had come here once during the years she had followed True Lord Liuyun in her cultivation.

Looking at this dilapidated scene, I felt lost and helpless.

She felt as if there was nowhere left for her in this vast world.

For her, the word "home" has become a luxury.

It wasn't until she met Su Zhe and went with him to his 'home' in Liyue Harbor that she finally felt she had a new place to belong.

So she cherishes that place.

But in reality, it would be more accurate to say that she should cherish Su Zhe.

Without Su Zhe's mansion, she found it boring to stay there.

"Yun Jin, go and take a look at that room; there should be some clues there."

Su Zhe pointed to the area above the village, where Shen He's childhood home was located.

Yun Jin glanced at Shen He and nodded.

She went to find the tattered diary, while Su Zhe stayed behind to keep Shen He company.

In fact, Su Zhe did not want Shen He to see the contents of the diary, because regardless of whether her father regretted it later, that memory was definitely not a friendly thing for Shen He.

However, in any story told through rumors, someone always has to find out the truth.

Otherwise, when the goddess Pi Guan is born, Shen He will only be able to listen to everyone spreading false stories while also having to applaud the unfamiliar her in the opera, which is really cruel.

"How do you feel?"

Su Zhe smiled and said, "There's no one else here, you can tell me."

Shen He said softly, "You should know very well about my affairs. That dream... you were in it too."

"So I understand your feelings better. No matter what, if you want to go see it, I'll go with you. If you don't want to, we'll go back."

Shen He looked up and saw Yun Jin walk into the house.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally took the first step.

Su Zhe smiled slightly and accompanied her step by step into this familiar place.

When they arrived there, Yun Jin had already found the diary left behind by Shen He's father.

"This is... the real 'Goddess Splitting the Temple'?"

Mr. Yun looked somewhat surprised.

"I see, no wonder..."

No wonder Su Zhe said that.

The real goddess and the story that is passed down, the pitiful child abandoned by her father, and the hero who takes the initiative to stand up against evil are completely different.

Upon reading this diary entry, she realized what she had always felt was missing.

Like countless stories of immortals, everything in the Goddess Splitting Temple is too perfect, so perfect that it can only be regarded as a story.

What she has always been pursuing is a sense of immersion; the more authentic, the better.

"Do you... want to see it?"

Yun Jin handed over the notebook.

Shen He silently took it and looked at it very carefully.

She witnessed her father's bewilderment and anguish when her mother was ill, his madness after her mother's death, and his regret and despair after he abandoned her in a dark cave and didn't visit her for three days and three nights.

Shen He suddenly realized that the image of her father, which lived in her memory, was gradually becoming somewhat blurry.

She didn't know whether she should hold a grudge against the other person or express some other emotion.

But no matter what, she would never see him again.

After a long while, Shen He silently put away his notebook.

"Let's go, there's nothing left here worth staying for."

Su Zhe took her hand and smiled gently.

"This is just a dilapidated village, a memory of the past, while our home is in Liyue Harbor."

The loneliness in Shen He's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a hidden tenderness.

Looking at Su Zhe, she nodded slightly: "Mm."

Chapter 42 The Red String Unlocked, the Knot in the Heart Untied, A Wonderful Night

The Lantern Festival has finally arrived!

The atmosphere in Liyue Harbor has become more lively than ever before.

Since the last Celestial Invocation Ceremony, the entire Liyue seems to be shrouded in a dark cloud, and genuine laughter can no longer be heard.

After all, it was Lord Yan. Snap, and he was gone!

How can this not be heartbreaking?

Therefore, compared to most people in Liyue, they probably don't live as happily and carefree as Zhongli herself.

Qixing also wanted to break this situation, so he put a lot of effort into this Lantern Festival. Even many of the original plans for building the Qunyu Pavilion were delayed because of the Lantern Festival.

Ningguang specially invited the Yunhan Opera Troupe to set up a stage at the night market and sing their own songs.

Of course, the timing of opera performances is relatively special; they are held a little later in the day, and the locations are a bit off-center and quieter.

It's only truly enjoyable to listen to a traditional opera after everyone has tired from strolling through the night market and their excitement has subsided.

"Husband, let's go to the night market!"

Inside the Su family mansion, Ba Che said with a grin.

Su Zhe walked out of the room.

"Where is Xiaogong?"

"She went out a long time ago, saying there was a fireworks display and she was in charge."

Where is Lotia?

"She doesn't like those kinds of scenes, so she doesn't go."

Where is Shen He?

"She went to Jueyun Mountain with Gan Yu, saying she was going to give some kind of master a holiday gift."

So it's just the two of us?

Ba Che nodded vigorously.

My husband, let's give up. It's just the two of us now!

"alright."

Su Zhe didn't care. Anyway, the night market would last for several days, so there was no rush.

Besides, I haven't spent much time with Ba Che during this period. Back then, in order to follow him to Liyue Harbor, I rarely went out and mostly stayed at home. It's impossible for me not to be bored, but Ba Che never said anything about it.

Su Zhe was slowly getting used to having her around. Hmm, and she was quite pleasing to the eye too. She had a nice figure, a perky bottom, and fair skin. She was good in every way.

"My husband, let's go!"

Ba Che pulled him outside.
