Lu Bu, the Thunder General, is my adoptive father in Genshin Impact.

Out of the corner of her eye, Sara caught sight of something brownish-yellow and thought it was a wooden plank. So she immediately let go of her dangling hands, stepped on it, and used it as a ski to track Xiao Yi.

Not far away, Xiangling, who was clinging to the wall, changed her expression drastically: "Guoba ahhhhhh—"

Chapter 133 Shadow: I'm So Filial Piety (4k)

The environment on Longji Snow Mountain was dark at night, and the wind and snow obscured his vision, so even after skiing nearly a hundred meters, Xiao Yi still didn't realize that he was using Miss Ying as skis.

To make matters worse, although Xiao Yi's attention was entirely focused on the fleeing bald man in black robes, the wind and snow in the sky soon obscured Tie Qi's figure, and he could only sense the blurry shadow moving down the snowy slope towards the bottom of the mountain.

"You can't escape!" Xiao Yi stretched out his foot and pushed off the ground, increasing his skiing speed once again.

Suddenly, he sensed an ominous aura behind him. Although it was slightly different from murderous intent, the person coming was definitely not acting with goodwill.

Xiao Yi hurriedly turned his head and found that it was Kujo Sara who had followed him. She was also on skis, moving down the mountain slope at high speed.

"Oh, Saluo, are you here to help me pursue that person?" Xiao Yi said happily.

Having help is better than having none. If Sara carries a bow and arrows, he can slow down the enemy's escape by shooting them.

Unexpectedly, Kujo didn't give him a friendly look; his cold expression revealed barely suppressed anger.

"Xiao Yi, now is not the time to chase people, stop right now!" Sha Luo didn't even use polite language, and shouted sternly, "Look down and see what you're stepping on!"

Finally realizing the problem, Xiao Yi slowly lowered his head. What came into view was a familiar, luxurious purple kimono and a thick, silky purple braid.

He was standing on the back of General Thunder, who was moving rapidly down the snow with his face down.

Xiao Yi was shocked: "Holy crap, when?!"

"Stop worrying about when to step on it," Kujo Sara gritted her teeth. "This isn't something that can be resolved by seppuku anymore. Just stop!"

“Sara, what are you stepping on again…” Xiao Yi asked, narrowing his eyes.

Kujo Sara instinctively looked down and met the innocent little eyes of the adorable non-human creature. She realized that she was stepping on Guoba's belly.

"When?!" Kujo Sara's tense facial expression instantly relaxed.

"Aren't you the same!" Xiao Yi retorted.

“Let’s stop and talk about it first, no matter what!” Sara said.

It's easier said than done. There are no snow-capped mountains in Inazuma, and neither Xiao Yi nor Sara have ever been involved in similar sports. Moreover, the area they are in is not a developed entertainment venue, but a natural barrier created by nature's own hand.

With a slope of nearly 60 degrees and unstable terrain, even professional adventurers or skiers would find it difficult to control; amateurs would only be destined to roll all the way to the bottom.

However, they were not simply laymen; one was Narukami's adopted son, who possessed multiple skills, and the other was a general of the Kujo family of the shogunate!

They are highly skilled laymen!

Moreover, their tools are not ordinary skis, but the eternal gods of Inazuma and the hearth gods that sustain the people of Liyue!

With such luxurious facilities for skiing here, if Longji Snow Mountain had a spirit, it would be incredibly fortunate.

"We can't stop in a short time," Xiao Yi analyzed the situation. "Let's chase and try to stop at the same time. That way, we can either catch up with the enemy or stop."

"You should consider the general's feelings!" Shaluo frowned slightly.

(Video: My first time skiing, it felt pretty good.)

(Xiao Yi: This can't even be called skiing! And Miss Ying, are you really okay? When you reach the bottom, won't your D grade wear down to an A grade?)

(Shadow: The general is quite sturdy. Even if there's snow underneath him, he should be able to slide down the mountain without any problem, so go ahead and chase the enemy.)

(Xiao Yi: I understand. But after you return to Daoqi, please don't have any sudden ideas and do that at Yingxiang Mountain. If someone sees you doing that, your career as a general will be over.)

He suddenly remembered something important.

(Xiao Yi: Back at the castle, why did your strike miss when you destroyed Iron Contract? I don't think you would make such a basic mistake.)

(Shadow: Just as I was about to hit the target, a sudden burst of lightning collided with my blade from the side. To avoid accidentally injuring innocent bystanders, I restrained my power, causing the blade aimed at the target to be deflected.)

(Xiao Yi: Sure enough, things happened too fast; even I only vaguely sensed that something was wrong.)

(Shadow: The power of the disruptor is similar to yours at 40 trust level. Be careful.)

Xiao Yi guessed that only the mastermind behind the scenes could have done this, which meant that the big boss had indeed come to the scene and intervened to stop Thor from killing his underlings.

Since the Celestial Venerable helped Tie Qi deflect the knife, it means that the bald man is still useful to him. As long as we continue to pursue the bald man, we can lure out the mastermind behind the scenes. To catch the thief, we must first catch the king.

He left the chat group and asked the skateboard under Sara's feet, "Big brother, are you alright?"

"Lulu (No problem)."

After confirming that Guoba could hold on, Xiao Yi informed Shaluo, "No need to stop. The general told me she can manage. Let's continue the pursuit of Tieqi!"

"How did you tell you?" Sara asked suspiciously.

"Father and son are of one mind!" Xiao Yi explained briefly.

The answer was too hasty… Saro thought to herself.

She still trusted Naruko; the general might indeed take some approach to have a brief exchange with Xiao Yi, but Sara remained worried.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "This isn't a question of whether it can hold up or not..."

"The pursuit of Tie Qi is the general's order," Xiao Yi said, silencing the female soldier.

“Since it’s an order, there’s nothing I can do…” Kujo Sara looked at the rice crust at her feet. “Excuse me, little guy who looks like a tanuki.”

"Lululu..."

As they talked, they glided for hundreds of meters, their speed still increasing, like a motorcycle speeding along a highway with the throttle broken after being twisted to its limit.

"We must find a way to slow down. If this continues, let alone catch up with them, even if we do, there's a high probability we'll crash headfirst into the foot of the mountain and die," Xiao Yi analyzed the situation seriously.

“Agreed, but how do we slow it down?” Kujo Sara fell into thought, then looked at the quick-witted Narukamiko, “What are you doing???”

Xiao Yi was grabbing the general's thick, long braid and pulling it up sharply, as if adjusting the direction or pulling the handbrake.

"Look, behind the general," Xiao Yi reminded him.

To Sara's surprise, Xiao Yi's General skateboard began to stabilize and gradually slowed down, as if he had found the skill to control the General.

Meanwhile, behind where the general had glided, a winding ditch appeared in the snow-covered gully.

"What is that?" Sara asked, puzzled.

“Brake marks,” Xiao Yi replied matter-of-factly.

"Wait, tell me..." Kujo Sara began to stammer, "What kind of brakes does the Shogun have!"

“It’s Dream One Heart, I’m driving Dream One Heart.” Xiao Yi continued to tug at the braid. “I don’t know why, but as long as I pull the ‘handbrake,’ the hilt of Dream One Heart will extend from the general’s chest, which will generate friction to slow down.”

Xiao Yi suddenly pulled his hair in another direction, causing the knife handle to turn and the general's skateboard to twist dramatically, allowing Xiao Yi to perform a drift-like maneuver.

"Whoosh!!!" Xiao Yi shouted loudly, "This is the joy of skiing, it's so much fun!"

Of course, he didn't abandon his pursuit of the enemy because of this; the drift was to prepare for adjusting his speed.

(Video: This is strangely interesting. I'd like to try it too. Let's come back to the snow mountain after this is all over, and then we'll switch roles; you can be the skateboarder.)

(Xiao Yi: Well, you should ask Miss Fox for directions. I'll teach you how to skate.)

(Shadow: Actually, I've learned a lot about Liyue culture these past few days. According to Liyue people, right now I should be exclaiming, "I'm so grateful!")

(Xiao Yi: Don't copy this nonsense!)

Seeing Xiao Yi recklessly pulling the god's braid, Kujo Sara's expression was complicated: "Don't play with the general's precious body!"

Suddenly, she noticed a strange sensation under her feet. The rice crust seemed to slow down as well, and a similar gully appeared where it had slid.

"What is this?" Sara asked, completely puzzled.

The general has a knife hidden in his chest, so what about this giant raccoon? Its body structure doesn't seem to be able to hide anything, yet it managed to brake just like Thor.

Xiao Yi blinked: "Luckily, the pot is facing up. If it were lying down like a general, I might have suspected that the braking device was... cough cough."

Witness Guoba's marksmanship!

However, since Guoba is now lying flat, Xiao Yi's strange idea is easily disproven.

It dawned on him.

“I understand, there’s only one truth!” Standing on the general, Xiao Yi struck his classic pose and pointed at Sha Luo, “That’s Guoba’s tail, it’s become firm.”

Fun fact: A rabbit's tail isn't a ball; it's curled up like a measuring tape. If you reach out and pull, you can stretch it a certain distance.

Following this logic, the tail of the rice crust is also a clump, and it might even be able to be stretched out.

Now, Guoba lies on its back on the snow. It is a demon god with both rock and fire attributes. It uses the rock element to strengthen its tail and then pushes it deeper into the snow to achieve a braking effect.

Saro tilted his body, and Guoba cooperated by retracting part of his tail. The two accelerated and bypassed Xiao Yi, arriving in front of him.

The female tengu turned her head to observe the general's expression as he tilted his head back while his hair was being pulled—it was an eyesore.

"Is General really alright?" Sara covered her eyes with her left hand, her elemental power surging due to her emotional outburst, with lightning crackling around her. "It looks like his eyes have rolled back..."

"Maybe he finds skiing fun, hence the happy expression," Xiao Yi said casually.

"Who acts this happy?" Tengu muttered, biting his lip.

Although Xiao Yi and Jiu Tiao are now separated by a sadly thick barrier, in this special environment, their relationship seems to have returned to their nutritionist days, like a comedic duo of a clueless and unhappy person.

According to Inazuma Culture, it should be called Manzai.

That being said, Xiao Yi was well aware of Miss Ying's current situation.

In reality, the shadow's consciousness has returned to the Pure Land of One Heart; it is merely watching the screen rather than immersing itself in the feeling of being used as a ski. The puppet's body has lost control, and its facial expressions have become somewhat strange as a result.

As for the general's AI, it had no desire to get involved in this foolish matter and went into hibernation on its own.

What Xiao Yi is standing on now is essentially an empty shell with vital signs, capable of making basic responses to external stimuli.

"Sara, the terrain ahead is very dangerous!"

Although the ground was covered in snow, it was clear that it resembled a cliff, with its end extending upwards...

In other words, if they slide down the road ahead, they will surely soar into the sky (physics).

It's too late to change the route!

Xiao Yi, Kujo Sara, Lei Yingdian, and Guoba drew beautiful curves in mid-air, almost reaching the first speed of Teyvat.

But under the influence of gravity, they eventually fell towards the ground. Fortunately, they had unknowingly reached the foot of the mountain, so they shouldn't be too badly hurt.

As his body continued to fall, Xiao Yi saw the icy lake at the foot of the mountain rapidly approaching him. Before colliding with the ice, he released the power of his elder brother, Miyamoto Jiro, using wind element jets to cushion the impact and gradually reduce the kinetic and potential energy on his body.
