Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Don't be angry, Paimon. Ying and I are here to protect you."

"Even if Ying can't save you in time, the illusion magic on the amulet will be enough to control this abyss mage."

Su Bai took Paimon off Ying's head. Paimon touched the amulet in his pocket. Sure enough, Su Bai was reliable. Ying was really wicked.

"I'll give you this amulet as compensation for Paimon."

"Huh? Really? Su Bai, you truly are Paimon's best partner."

After receiving the talisman from Su Bai, Paimon selectively forgot that Su Bai had actually tricked her in the first place. Ying pouted unwillingly, thinking that the pot Su Bai gave her was not as good as this talisman.

With Su Bai's illusionary support, Ying didn't have to exert much effort to get the abyss mage to translate the contents of the note. After listening to the abyss mage's translation, Paimon scratched his head in confusion.

"Is this a challenge? Did this Abyss Mage misread it because he didn't study properly? Or is there a mistake in the writing on the note?"

"The characters should be correct. Let's try translating it again."

Ying was somewhat skeptical of the Abyss Mage's translation; it seemed unbelievable that an Abyss Mage would issue a challenge to Diluc. Su Bai, on the other hand, thought it was quite normal.

A few months ago, Keqing specially commissioned him to capture Abyss Mages for the Thousand Rock Army to practice on in order to train them. However, because too many Abyss Mages were captured, the Abyss Mages couldn't take it anymore and actually sent a Hilichurl to him with a letter of sue for peace.

After that, Su Bai became even more interested in the strange creatures called Abyss Mages. After completing Keqing's request, Su Bai even captured some Abyss Mages to study their habits.

As a result, a fire-attribute abyss mage broke free of Su Bai's seal and almost set the Hall of Rebirth on fire. Hu Tao and Zhong Li directly forbade Su Bai from researching abyss mages, and the fire-attribute abyss mage disappeared without a trace.

After the abyss mage translated the note more than a dozen times until his voice was hoarse, Ying finally put away the note with a half-believing look and ended the abyss mage's life with a single sword strike.

"Let's hurry back and tell Lord Diluc so he can get things ready."

"Paimon, I'm really surprised you would say that. I thought you were in a hurry to go back for dinner."

Ying was somewhat surprised; this wasn't Paimon's usual behavior. Shouldn't Paimon be urging them to go back and eat?

"I wonder if Lord Diluc has prepared dinner. If the delicious food gets cold, it won't taste good, hehe."

Paimon wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, looking expectant. Ying rubbed her forehead, thinking that she shouldn't have had any illusions about Paimon. She should hurry back to Dawn Winery and tell Diluc about this. She wondered how Diluc's conversation with his father went.

Inside the Dawn Winery, Diluc was already seated at the dining table, waiting for Su Bai and the others to arrive. As the maids led Su Bai and the others to the table, Diluc looked up. If it weren't for his slightly red eyes, Ying wouldn't have been able to tell that Diluc was acting strangely.

"Diluc, this note is a challenge. The Abyss wants to fight you tomorrow night. Do you want to go?"

"The abyss, it doesn't matter. If they want to fight me head-on, I will grant their wish."

Diluc settled the matter with just a few simple words, but his eyes never left Su Bai, making Su Bai feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Diluc doesn't like men. There are so many girls on Teyvat waiting for me to seduce them."

Su Bai's words broke the heart of the little maid waiting nearby. Someone had actually rejected her master! Waaah, poor Diluc! Why, why doesn't Diluc look at her like this?

"Ying, the way Diluc is looking at Su Bai is terrifying. Should we make a quick getaway?"

Paimon timidly tugged at Ying's sleeve. Ying shook her head slightly, signaling Paimon to wait and see. Paimon scratched her head, not quite understanding Ying's meaning. Did she mean that if there was nothing else, they could start eating?

After praising himself in his mind, Paimon sat down and started eating. In the tense atmosphere, Paimon held a chicken leg of sweet flower-stuffed chicken in his left hand and a pastry in his right hand and stuffed it into his mouth, praising the deliciousness of the food as he ate.

Paimon's move completely baffled Diluc and Su Bai, and the tense atmosphere vanished without a trace. A smile appeared on Diluc's lips.

"Let's get to know each other again, Mond, Diluc Legnfender. It's a pleasure to be your friend."

Diluc stood up and extended his right hand to Su Bai. Under Ying's bewildered gaze, Su Bai tightly grasped Diluc's hand. At this moment, their fates, which should have remained separate, began to fluctuate slightly.

"Li Yue, Su Bai, if anything happens in the future, I'll be relying on you for support."

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Lawrence Family's Invitation

"Hiccup~ The food at Lord Diluc's house is so delicious! I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat such good food again."

As the wind rose, Paimon, who was full, rubbed his stomach and flew in mid-air. If Ying hadn't insisted on going back, Paimon would have liked to stay at Dawn Winery for a few more days.

"No matter how many times I look at this starry sky, it is always so enchanting. Ying, which star in the sky do you think represents you?"

Luminous looked up at the starry sky. Under the deep starry sky, everything seemed so small, which made Luminous fall into deep thought. She didn't know why she had rejected Diluc's kindness, nor did she know why she felt so sad when she saw Su Bai shaking hands with Diluc.

"Since you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you."

"You feel that there isn't a single star in the sky that represents you."

Su Bai's words made Ying stop in her tracks. She didn't understand why Su Bai said that, nor did she understand what Su Bai was trying to express.

“You once told me that you are a traveler from another world who has crossed countless worlds and experienced too many partings.”

"After you find your brother, you will eventually leave this world. You don't want to see your friends' tears again, so you don't want to have too much interaction with anyone."

"Is this also your reason for deliberately distancing yourself from Diluc today?"

Su Bai's words were like a hammer, shattering the protective shell around Ying's heart into pieces, instantly exposing her soft inner self to Su Bai.

Ying stared blankly at Su Bai. She couldn't believe that Su Bai had seen through her so clearly after only spending a few days with her. Su Bai could see things so clearly that she herself couldn't understand them.

"Actually, Ying, you don't have to be like this. As your friend, even if you really leave this world one day and go to the next world, sadness may be inevitable, but I will still offer my blessings."

Su Bai looked up at the sky, his eyes not filled with confusion, but rather with longing and anticipation for the starry sky. He pointed to a point in the starry sky...

"Even if you go to another world, the starry sky will still be a channel for us to convey our longing. Look at the fox shape formed by those six stars. When you see such stars in another world, you will think of me."

Following the direction Su Bai pointed, Ying really did see a fox made up of six stars. Su Bai patted Ying on the shoulder.

"So, if you meet a nice person, just get to know them and let things happen naturally. Don't try to avoid them on purpose."

"Luminous, we'll never be apart, right? Even though you're not a good cook, you sleep poorly, and you're not very strong, Paimon will always be by your side."

Paimon's words completely ruined the atmosphere. Ying, whose secrets had been exposed, took a deep breath. She no longer cared that Su Bai was right next to her and chased after Paimon with her sword, ready to boil him alive.

"Paimon, you stop right there!"

"Huh? I was telling the truth, and I didn't even mention that you left your clothes and socks all over the place."

"Ahhh, Paimon! I'm going to cook you!"

Watching the two bickering and joking in front of him, Su Bai smiled knowingly. It seemed that his words had some effect, and Ying's inner knot should have been untied quite a bit.

Early morning in Mondstadt, sunlight streamed through the glass onto the bed. Su Bai, lying on the bed, wagged its tail and rubbed its sleepy eyes, awakened by the warm sunlight.

"Ying has already left? That's great. From now on, I can't listen to her sing anymore. Other people sing for money, but she sings for my life."

Su Bai rubbed his dizzy head. Last night before going to bed, Ying, who was in a good mood, suddenly had the urge to sing a song from another world for Su Bai and Paimon, saying that it would help them sleep.

As a result, Ying's shout almost sent Su Bai and Paimon away.

This shout made Su Bai understand the meaning of the ancient poem from Liyue: "Birds have vanished from a thousand mountains, and human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths."

If Su Bai hadn't seen Paimon covering his ears, he would have thought it was just that he couldn't appreciate it. Later, according to Ying, she learned to sing in another world from a strange guy named Karthus, who even praised her for her singing talent.

"What a beautiful day!"

Crossing the street to the vicinity of the commercial district, the aroma of various delicacies wafted towards Su Bai, which put him in a good mood. At the same time, Su Bai, who had difficulty making choices, began to worry about what to have for breakfast.

"With so many delicious foods, what should I eat for breakfast?"

"You bard, how dare you sneeze right in front of me? And you even got snot on my cup! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

An arrow made of ice element grazed Su Bai's hair and hit the wall, startling Su Bai who was about to stretch. The fur on his tail stood on end. "Damn it," he thought, "how come there are still troublemakers trying to harm me even in Mondstadt?"

"Su Bai, help me!"

"Sigh, my beautiful day ended the moment I met Wendy."

Su Bai sighed. The smell of frog blood on Wendy instantly ruined Su Bai's good mood. He couldn't understand why the drink made with frog legs was so delicious.

Wendy's eyes lit up when she saw Su Bai, and she immediately hid behind him. Diona, who was relentlessly chasing Wendy, didn't stop and jumped into Su Bai's arms.

"Big fox, get out of the way! This guy almost got his snot all over me. I'm going to smash this bard's head in half."

Diona smelled Su Bai's unique scent and started nagging him to get out of the way. Wendy took the opportunity to slip away, not forgetting to leave a message before she left.

"It's really not my fault, little guy. I'm allergic to kittens."

"Also, Su Bai, the money for the drinks is yours, thanks!"

"You scoundrel, you've tricked me again!"

Seeing Wendy turn and run away, Su Bai, unable to contain his anger, snatched the bow and arrow from Diona's hand and shot three arrows at Wendy's back. However, each of the three arrows seemed to have its own purpose, and none of them hit Wendy.

"You dog, you just wait and see. I'll hold you accountable for this. If I can't catch you, I can at least catch Tvalin."

"That's right. Next time he comes to Cat's Tail Tavern, I'm definitely going to make him a drink with Jueyun Chili to make him burn to death."

Diona waved her fists to the side. She didn't like this bard who sneezed at her and loved to drink. The big fox was much better; he didn't drink and didn't bully her.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. How's Diona doing lately?"

"Same as always. By the way, Big Fox, my dad said he wants you to go to Qingquan Town tomorrow. He wants to treat you to a meal to thank you for saving me."

"If you don't have time, you don't have to go."

Diona's cat ears twitched. This was the first time the naturally proud Diona had invited someone to her home, and she was so nervous that she stammered a little.

"Lord Su Bai, we've finally found you."

An unfamiliar voice interrupted Diona and Su Bai's reminiscing. A richly dressed person was bowing to Su Bai. Su Bai raised an eyebrow; he didn't recognize the person.

"Your Excellency Su Bai, my master sincerely invites you to have lunch with our Lawrence family. I wonder if you would do me the honor."

"Lawrence? Forget it, I don't want to have much to do with you guys."

Although he and Yura had a good relationship, Su Bai did not want to get involved with the Lawrence family. He could tell that there weren't many smart people in the Lawrence family.

"I suggest that Your Excellency Su Bai do not refuse, after all, your good friend Miss Yura misses you very much."

Are you threatening me?

"No, I'm just telling the truth."

Su Bai's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly. "Fine, very well. You're trying to threaten me with Yura, aren't you? I'd like to see what you're really up to."

"I can go, but I'll bring a friend with me."

"Friends? This..."

"Don't worry, he's just a bard who poses no threat."

"Your Lawrence family, as nobles, must have many fine bars. I was just taking my friend there to broaden his horizons."
