Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"..."

Feeling the vast and boundless immortal power within Ruo Tuo's body, Xiao felt that the immortal power within him was like a lone boat adrift on the sea. If Ruo Tuo the Dragon King wanted, he might be overturned directly.

However, thinking about the achievements of the old Dragon King Ruoduo during the Demon God War, Xiao's mood gradually calmed down. It was normal for the Dragon King Ruoduo, as an emperor, to have stronger magical powers. Moreover, the Dragon King Ruoduo had lived longer than him. Why should he compare his magical power with the Dragon King Ruoduo?

Seeing that Xiao ignored him, Su Bai didn't take it to heart. Before he could study the structure of the Taiwei Instrument Plate in detail, he felt his body sink. The array centered on the Taiwei Instrument Plate actually carried everyone upwards. The speed was so fast that Paimon, who hadn't reacted in time, was completely lying on the array.

"Hey, hey, hey, little sister Zhong Tuo is too fast, too fast, slow down, slow down."

"I feel like throwing up the cherry blossom cookies I just ate."

"Tch, your emergency rations are so lame, you can't even keep up with this speed. Fine, I'll go slower."

Ruo Tuo originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that the others, apart from Su Bai and Xiao, seemed a bit uncomfortable, Ruo Tuo didn't say what was on the tip of his tongue. After all, they were all friends, and Ruo Tuo didn't want to ruin their relationship.

As Ruo Tuo slowed down the speed of the immortal power transmission, the upward flight speed of the Taiwei Instrument also slowed down a lot, which made everyone feel much better. Even Paimon flew back into the air.

"I wonder which immortal made this Taiwei Instrument Plate. It didn't even have any restrictions. That immortal is really not afraid of something going wrong."

Su Bai's complaints made Yan Fei nod repeatedly. As a half-immortal, Yan Fei only had a long lifespan and did not have the abundant immortal power and strong physique of a pure-blooded immortal. In addition, Yan Fei was also very young, and this sudden rise made Yan Fei feel uncomfortable.

"Yanfei, you should go back and improve your strength. As an immortal, your current strength is not enough."

While releasing golden immortal power, Ruo Tuo didn't forget to lecture Yan Fei in the same way as Zhong Li. However, apart from Xiao and Yan Fei, who knew Ruo Tuo's true identity, everyone else found it awkward. After all, it was quite rare to see a little girl educating a young girl.

Knowing Ruoduo's true identity, Yanfei dared not show any resistance to Ruoduo's lecturing, and could only listen obediently like Klee being lectured by Captain Jean.

"Everyone be careful, something seems to be approaching us."

Just as Ruo Tuo was lecturing Yan Fei, Ye Lan suddenly noticed something dark flying towards them. It seemed that the target of this thing was the group of people who were flying upwards.

"Damn it, what's going on with this space? I was almost flying out of it when this happened. Su Bai, come here and help me maintain the Taiwei Plate. I'll deal with these damn things."

“Little Sister Zhong Tuo, you’d better hurry up. I’m not sure how long I can last. If I get drained, we’ll both fall down.”

Su Bai placed his hand on the Taiwei Instrument Plate. The suction force emanating from the Taiwei Instrument Plate made Su Bai's eyes twitch. Good heavens, does this thing consume so much immortal power? It should be called an immortal power absorber rather than a Taiwei Instrument Plate.

"It's alright, a short time will be enough for me. You little brat, how dare you show off in front of me?"

A mocking smile appeared on Ruoduo's little face. During the Demon God War, her enemies were all extremely powerful demon gods. Now these little things dare to appear in front of her. They really don't know what's good for them.

Speaking of which, she's been itching to get her hands dirty for so many years. Let her think back to what Morax said during their fight back then.

Although Ruo Tuo sometimes disliked Zhong Li, she still acknowledged that Zhong Li's transformation level was higher than hers. After all, Zhong Li would mutter a lot of nonsense during every battle, even though it was useless, but it was still 13 levels higher.

"Ahem, brats, if you leave now, I can let you go."

Ruo Tuo put her hands behind her back, striking a pose like an old man, but her little girl-like figure was hardly intimidating. The group of dark, ghostly things didn't give her any reason to listen, and seeing that no one was stopping them, they moved closer and closer to the Taiwei Instrument Plate.

"Alas, in this world, demons and gods rise up together. Although I have no intention of vying for power, I know the suffering of the common people. I only wish to cleanse the four directions and protect a corner of this floating world."

"Since you're so determined to die, then I won't be polite."

"The heavens and the myriad phenomena are in motion!"

Following Zhongli's example, Ruo Tuo crossed her arms over her chest, and a powerful rock element rapidly spread outwards from her body. The dark enemies that came into contact with the rock element turned into stone and dissipated into space in just half a breath.

Chapter 371 Back to the Ground

"Little Sister Zhong Tuo, you are amazing! You defeated so many enemies in one move."

"No wonder you got the cowherd punished back then. I should have been worried about the cowherd instead of you."

Paimon's praise made Ruoduo proudly raise her head. Feeling the surprised and slightly admiring gazes around her, Ruoduo felt incredibly happy. If she had known that learning from Zhongli would be so cool, she should have learned from him sooner.

Xiao, who had witnessed the words spoken by the Rock King Emperor in the crowd, was experiencing extremely complex emotions. Logically speaking, Ruo Tuo's behavior was offensive to the Emperor, but Ruo Tuo's status prevented Xiao from reprimanding her.

"Hey, now that you've dealt with the enemies, could you come and help me out, Boss Xiao? Stop watching and come help me channel my immortal energy."

Seeing that the Taiwei Plate was absorbing more and more power, Su Bai's entire fox body was almost numb. Was this Taiwei Plate poisonous? How come the closer he got to the exit, the more immortal power it absorbed? If it kept absorbing like this, he would turn into a dried-up fox.

Seeing that Su Bai's immortal power was rapidly dissipating, Xiao placed his hand directly on the Taiwei Instrument Plate without saying a word. With the support of Xiao's immortal power, Su Bai's pressure was greatly reduced, and the Taiwei Instrument Plate steadily flew upwards.

A flash of white light followed, and a strange dizziness swept over everyone on the Taiwei Instrument Plate. This dizziness was familiar to Su Bai; it was a side effect of traversing space. It seemed they had found an exit.

"This is... the sun? We've emerged from the abyss of layered rocks?"

"Did they send us directly to the surface of the Layered Rock Abyss? Shouldn't they have sent us to the underground level of the Layered Rock Abyss?"

Su Bai looked around and realized that this was indeed the surface of the Layered Rock Abyss. However, he was puzzled because, logically, they should have been transported to the location where they fell.

"We're finally out! That's great! I thought I was going to be stuck there forever. Waaah, Ying, let's hurry to Liyue Harbor and have something nice to celebrate!"

"Paimon, the second half of your sentence is your real purpose, isn't it? We've almost run out of Mora. If you want something good to eat, we'll have to go to Catherine's place and take on a few more commissions."

"Uh, there's no more Mora?"

Paimon scratched her head in annoyance. If she remembered correctly, she did eat a large meal at New Moon Pavilion before investigating the Abyss of Layered Rocks. Well, if she had known the investigation of the Abyss of Layered Rocks would not go smoothly, she should not have ordered so many dishes. Now, she might have to go to the Hall of Rebirth to freeload a meal.

"If I remember correctly, today is the day the Hall of Rebirth pays its salaries. Ying, as a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, you also receive a salary. Although it's not much, it's enough for you and Paimon to eat and drink for a while."

"And if we go to the Rebirth Hall today, we might be able to get a free meal. Every time the Rebirth Hall pays her salary, Walnut always packs some food from the Wanmin Hall to bring back."

"This day is also the last time we might see Grandpa Zhongli at the Hall of Rebirth, because there are some bills that Grandpa Zhongli needs to explain to Hu Tao in person, so this is the best time to find Grandpa Zhongli."

Su Bai stroked his chin. If he hadn't miscalculated the time, today was the day Hu Tao was collecting Mora. Every month at this time, Hu Tao would carry a large bag of Mora back to the Hall of Rebirth. In the past few years, Su Bai had even acted as Hu Tao's bodyguard when collecting Mora.

"Hey! Really? That's great! Hu Tao is such a good person!"

Upon hearing that even Ying would receive a salary, Paimon immediately cheered. Having not eaten at Wanmintang for many days, Paimon was extremely excited and couldn't wait to go to Wanmintang for a free meal.

"Boss Xiao, Sister Yanfei and Miss Yelan, how about we go to the Hall of Rebirth for a meal together?"

"I won't be going. I need to report the information about the Layered Rock Abyss to my superiors. Also, please keep the matter of the Layered Rock Abyss a secret. The Fools are quite fond of such a magical place as the Layered Rock Abyss."

"In a few days, the Layered Rock Abyss may be added to the patrol locations of the Thousand Rock Army. If you encounter any trouble during your next exploration of the Layered Rock Abyss, you may be able to seek help from the Thousand Rock Army. Moreover, capturing the Treasure Thieves alive can earn you a considerable reward."

Despite wanting to meet Shen He after Su Bai's invitation, Ye Lan decided to deal with Ning Guang first before taking her vacation, thinking that Ning Guang might cause her trouble because of this.

"Please enjoy your meal, everyone. I may need to take my leave now."

"Alright then, since Miss Yelan has other matters to attend to, I won't keep you any longer."

After greeting everyone, Ye Lan quickly disappeared into the Rocky Abyss. After a short rest, Su Bai and the others got up and headed towards Liyue Harbor.

Amidst the laughter and merriment, only Ruoduo noticed the parents standing on the high place; the rest of the group remained unaware that a worried old man had been waiting for them there all along.

Chapter 372 Su Bai's Plan (1)

On a morning like any other, Phil Gaudette was leaning on the counter, stroking her sleeping kitten. Looking at the kitten still fast asleep, Phil Gaudette forced a big yawn, fighting off her sleepiness.

She had no idea what her boss was thinking, actually asking her to observe the demon-slaying saint's mental state over the next few days, and saying that if anything seemed amiss, she should contact her immediately.

"That immortal has been staying at Wangshu Inn for who knows how long, and nothing has gone wrong over the years. How could something have gone wrong just because he went out once?"

"Could it be that the Great Sage Who Subdued Demons went out on a blind date? Wow, that's big news!"

The more Philgarde thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Scenes of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven dating girls gradually appeared in Philgarde's mind. So engrossed in her thoughts, Philgarde didn't even notice that she had covered the cat's nose with her hand. The kitten, which had been woken up, snorted angrily several times when it saw Philgarde teasing it like this.

"Oh, sorry, sorry. I was just lost in thought. I'll have Yanxiao make you some chicken later. Go play somewhere."

Hearing that there was chicken to eat, the kitten happily strode away from the counter and headed towards the kitchen. After seeing the kitten off, Phil Gaudette rested her head on her hand on the counter and continued to fantasize about what kind of girl could win over a cold and aloof immortal like the Demon Slayer.

"Boss, two breakfasts please."

"Boss, boss?"

"Ah, ah, what would you two like to eat?"

Filgordette shook her head to clear the clutter from her mind. Seeing the two identical-looking people in front of her, one dressed in Mondstadt attire and the other in Liyue attire, the highly professional Filgordette silently memorized their appearance.

Perhaps because Abelard's hairline had recently receded a bit, Philgoldet didn't immediately recognize Abelard, the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius.

"Two breakfasts, please, nothing too greasy, thank you."

"Okay, please sit down and wait a moment, it will be served to you shortly."

"Yanxiao, stop slacking off. Make two breakfasts that aren't too greasy. Hurry up and make them. Oh, and while you're at it, make a chicken leg for my new kitten too."

Under Filgott's arrangement, Abedo and Abeso sat in a spot with a view of the scenery outside. Looking out from Wangshu Inn at Longji Snow Mountain, Abedo was deeply moved.

Just a few days ago, he was conducting experiments alone in Longji Snow Mountain. I never expected that he would have two brothers now. Fate is truly a strange thing.

"Aberdo, are you going back to Mondstadt after you finish your work today?"

“That’s right, I’ve been out long enough, and Klee needs to learn some basics from Miss Lisa. She’s also going back to Mondstadt. What, you’re reluctant to leave us?”

"Bullshit, I'm the one who can't bear to part with Klee, but how could I possibly be reluctant to part with someone like you who has less hair than an old man?"

Abedo's words made Abe jump up from his chair like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. Seeing Abe's intense reaction, Abedo gave a rare smirk and said with a hint of teasing.

"Alright, alright, my foolish brother, I know you're reluctant to part with me, so stop explaining."

"Ugh, Abedo, how come you weren't blown up by the bombs in the Abyss of Laminaria?! I'm so mad!"

Abe doesn't consider himself an easily angered person, but he doesn't know what kind of magic Abedo possesses. Every time he talks to Abedo for a few words, Abedo gets so angry that he jumps up and down. Now even Klee knows that Abedo and Abedo often communicate their feelings by arguing.

When Klee said those words, Abed almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had no idea where Klee got the idea that he was exchanging feelings with Abed.

"Alright, I'm not kidding anymore, my silly little brother. Do you know why Su Bai suddenly wanted to call us here?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Haven't I been spending all my time with you lately?"

Abe rolled his eyes at Abedo, picked up the bowl of white porridge that Filgott had brought him, and took a sip. During his time in Liyue, Abe had gotten used to Liyue's eating habits, and he probably wouldn't be used to eating Mondstadt's food if he were asked to eat it again.

As for Abedo, he said that alchemists can eat anything, and if all else fails, he can turn food into alchemical potions to drink, since eating is just a way to replenish the body's energy.

In the past, when he was busy with experiments, Abedo often turned various foods into alchemical potions and drank them. He had recommended this convenient and quick method to Abedo, but Abedo disagreed. Abedo believed that the meaning of food was to be tasted and did not understand Abedo's behavior of swallowing food whole.

Chapter 373 Su Bai's Plan (2)

"Mr. Zhongli, Miss Zhongtuo, you two are here too? Were you also summoned by Su Bai?"

Abe was somewhat surprised to see two familiar faces at Wangshu Inn. These two were immortals! With both of them here, he wondered what Su Bai wanted to do. Did he want Mondstadt to be incorporated into Liyue's territory?

"After this battle, will Mondstadt return to Liyue?"

"Young Master Abe, what are you saying? Su Bai sent the two of us here to keep things under control, not to fight. And the boss behind the counter, we really aren't here to fight, don't worry."

Upon hearing Abe's nonsensical words, Jodo rolled his eyes at him. How could he say such things in public? He should say them in private. Meanwhile, Philgoldette clutched her rapidly beating heart behind the counter, trying to calm herself down. But the thought that she seemed to have heard something terrible made Philgoldette feel that she was in a dangerous situation.

“Zhong Tuo, don’t keep Boss Philgolde worried here. Let’s go upstairs and have a seat.”
