Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

"I mustn't disturb my husband, I mustn't disturb my husband, I mustn't disturb my husband..."

Ba Che muttered to himself.

Su Zhe: "..."

"Ah, my husband, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you."

Seeing him looking over, Ba Che quickly said.

"I just... just... happened to be passing by, because I couldn't find you anywhere..."

"Okay, I know." Su Zhe sighed, "Don't explain anymore. It's my fault for not informing you sooner."

“How can you blame my husband? It’s my fault for being stupid. I should have realized that with his abilities, he would have found Shen He immediately.”

"So, how did you end up here? Did you send those sea monsters to search the surrounding area?"

"Mmm, my husband is so smart!"

Ba Che is always so well-behaved.

"Now that you're here, let's celebrate the Lantern Festival together as a trio."

After saying that, Su Zhe felt something was still missing, so he thought for a moment and went to the night market to get some things.

The table is covered with snacks, and you can spread out a chessboard and start playing. You can eat and play at the same time, and if you turn your head, you can see the beautiful moment when the fireworks explode.

Tonight is just the beginning of the Lantern Festival. The lively atmosphere will last for several days. The most exciting part, the explosion of the immortals ascending to heaven, will have to wait until the last day, so Su Zhe is not in a hurry.

Shen He's transformation is visible to the naked eye, but to truly control herself, she needs an experience that leaves a deep impression on her and that she can believe in herself.

This Lantern Festival is an opportunity; if she can just walk around the night market and come back, it will be of great significance to her.

Not long after the fireworks ended, Ying and Paimon returned.

"Huh? What are you all doing here?"

Paimon looked at the brightly lit courtyard and the table full of uneaten food, and immediately looked puzzled.

Yingmei, however, noticed something was amiss.

She looked at Shen He and noticed that he seemed a little different than before.

After all, they were people living in the same house and had a lot of contact with each other, and Shen He was a rather special case.

"Red string?"

Ying noticed the difference.

Su Zhe laughed and said, "It's nothing. I prefer quiet, so I asked Shen He and Ba Che to come back and keep me company."

"Wow! Let's celebrate together tomorrow! That way we can eat lots of delicious food for free!"

Paimon stomped his feet excitedly.

However, her unintentional remark gave Su Zhe a good idea.

Since there's still time for the Lantern Festival, there's nothing wrong with spending those two days at home.

Anyway, food and holiday activities are just things that can be solved by stopping the time.

Huh? Pay me?

Of course I won't give it to them.

What is this called? This is called a predestined connection with the immortals!

Money is a small matter. When he goes out, countless people kneel and worship him from across the street.

Speaking of which, Su Zhe has been hearing a lot of 'wishes' lately, especially in this festive atmosphere. Liyue has a tradition of burning incense and praying to the gods during festivals, so he can hear them very clearly every time.

Correspondingly, the clearer the voices were, the more Su Zhe could feel an invisible force surging into his body.

So even though he spends his days drinking tea and strolling around, his strength is steadily improving.

It's so cool, you know?

Making money while lying down – who wouldn't be envious?

"Okay, then prepare more things tomorrow, and we'll celebrate the holiday at home."

Su Zhe said with a smile.

Paimon: "Yeah! ヾ(??▽?)ノ"

Shen He glanced at Su Zhe but said nothing.

Ba Che would have no objections, since no matter what she asked, her husband would always be right.

In the corner, Lotia, who had been present but ignored, nodded, as if agreeing with what Su Zhe said.

After a while, Xiaogong also returned.

Tonight's fireworks display was just a small test, so the workload wasn't heavy.

Upon hearing Su Zhe's plan, he immediately said he would make some fireworks for them.

"By the way, what about that old fox?"

Su Zhe asked in confusion.

Yae no Miko used to live here, but I haven't seen her in the last two days.

"A couple of days ago she said she had found an author for some book and went to urge him to finish the manuscript, but she hasn't come back yet."

Ba Che pouted, "Husband, don't worry about her, let's just play by ourselves."

Su Zhe nodded but didn't say anything, but in reality, he didn't care about the Eightfold Divine Child at all; what he cared about was the Shadow.

Su Zhe wondered how well this Thor was learning about Liyue culture. He was worried that if no one supervised her, she might go astray.

Just then, a bolt of purple lightning flashed by, transforming into the shape of a shadow.

She looked around, frowned, and asked, "Where is the Divine Child?"

After saying that, he muttered to himself.

"Not here either? That idiot took my wallet, so I can't buy anything."

"It's a pity this isn't Inazuma, otherwise it would be much more convenient to have Okuzawa go and buy it."

Su Zhe: "..."

So, you were looking for your wallet when you were acting all aggressive just now?

"Ok?"

Ying's gaze shifted and landed on the unfinished food on the table.

He seemed somewhat interested.

"Um...you didn't eat anything all night, did you?"

"Yeah, I did go to the night market, but when I wanted to buy something I realized I didn't have any money, so I watched a fireworks show and came back."

Su Zhe's lips twitched.

Stop talking, you're a fool!

"How about we come here together to celebrate the holiday tomorrow?"

"Here?"

Suspicion lingers.

Su Zhe explained the plan.

Thor immediately said "okay".

"Since that's the case, I can't just do nothing. Liyue has always valued trade; you have to give something in return for something you gain..."

As he said this, Ying looked around and finally looked towards the kitchen.

"Well then, I've gained quite a bit of experience in cooking in Liyue these past few days. How about I cook a few dishes tomorrow?"

Paimon chuckled and said, "Oh, oh, so you can cook! I always thought you were the kind of person who was high and mighty and only knew how to order others to cook."

Of all those present, only Su Zhe knew Ying's identity.

Paimon was a foodie, and as soon as he heard about it, he agreed on the spot.

But Su Zhe didn't want his mansion to be destroyed. Didn't he see the tragic state of the Hilichurls over at Tianheng Mountain?

"Actually, I've already found a great chef in Liyue!"

He said seriously, "That guy's cooking skills are so good that even Zhongli would say they're excellent."

Only after hearing this did Ying reluctantly agree. She would save the chance to show off her skills for next time, as she also wanted to try the cooking skills that even the Rock God approved of.

The group chatted for a while, and everyone was tired after returning from the lively night market, so they all went back to their rooms.

Shadow disappeared somewhere; he probably went up to seek revenge on that scoundrel.

Su Zhe boiled some water and then lay back on the bed feeling completely refreshed.

I closed my eyes, and the image of the zither appeared in my mind, then transformed into the sea of ​​my heart, then into the clapper, and finally, in a daze, I sensed something, and Shen He's shadow appeared in my field of vision.

Night had fallen, and everyone in the courtyard was asleep. Su Zhe paused for a moment, then fully woke up.

All he saw was Shen He, dressed in thin pajamas, standing by his bedside.

The icy chill mingled with the moonlight, and even as she stood there quietly, she could feel a sharp, biting aura emanating from her.

The body exudes a delicate fragrance, a result of cleansing the body after consuming 'immortal herbs' for many years.

The surroundings were dimly lit, with only faint moonlight shining in.

In the darkness, Shen He looked at Su Zhe, his pure sky-blue eyes calm, yet deep within them lay a trace of tenderness and passion.

Seeing that Su Zhe had woken up, she said, "I said I would come to your room, but then Ba Che appeared. I saw that you were a little disappointed, so I came over while everyone was resting."

"?"

"Now that no one is bothering us, we can kiss or do anything else."

"??"

"But I don't quite understand, do I need to take off my clothes first?"
