Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"No, no, what is all this about? I just wanted to learn from you how to control the wind element."

Xiao's imposing aura faltered, his eyes widening in disbelief. What? He asked for Xiao's help just to learn how to control the wind element? He thought Su Bai had encountered some trouble and needed his help to solve it.

“I’m not very skilled at controlling the wind element. Su Bai, you should go find True Monarch Liuyun. Her control and application of the wind element far surpasses mine.”

Xiao wasn't unwilling to teach Su Bai, nor was he being modest; he was telling the truth. His use of wind elements was more about incorporating them into his martial arts techniques to increase their damage.

In terms of the comprehensive application of the wind element, True Lord Liuyun is indeed much stronger than him, and True Lord Liuyun's personality is very suitable to be a teacher, making him the best choice to teach Su Bai.

"Um, as for True Monarch Liuyun, she's been a bit busy lately and doesn't have much time to teach me. Boss Xiao, why don't you teach me? I trust you."

Although it was fun to hear True Lord Liuyun tell stories of Gan Yu and Shen He's embarrassing childhood experiences, Su Bai knew that if True Lord Liuyun taught him to control the wind element, any embarrassing things that happened during his learning process would definitely be recorded by True Lord Liuyun, and Gan Yu and Shen He would find out. Su Bai didn't want to experience that embarrassing feeling again.

"Alright then, since True Lord Liuyun is busy these few days, I'll teach you. So, Su Bai, would you like to learn faster or slower?"

"Of course I'll learn faster then. I knew you had a way, Boss Xiao."

Chapter 119 Xiao's Special Training

"Boss Xiao, are you sure you don't want to turn me into a fox cake?"

Standing on the edge of a solitary peak amidst the towering clouds, Su Bai looked at the clouds lining up beside him and swallowed hard. This height was probably higher than jumping off Mount Hulao. If something unexpected happened, wouldn't he be able to use the free box provided as employee benefits at the Hall of Rebirth?

"The fastest way to quickly master the wind element is to use your own wind element to draw upon the wind in nature and make it work for you. And this is the most suitable place for that."

"And don't worry, there won't be any danger. Even if there is, I will save you immediately."

Xiao was very confident in his speed; this distance would only take him three breaths to cover, and there was no way anything could happen.

"Although you are the fastest person I know, Boss Xiao, what if something happens and I'm done for?"

"Xiao, you're telling me, people from Liyue don't lie to people from Liyue, ahhhhh!!!"

Before Su Bai could continue rambling, Xiao kicked Su Bai in the buttocks. Su Bai, who lost his balance instantly, stumbled and fell off the mountain peak. His screams echoed throughout the entire Jueyun Mountain.

"Aaaaaah, Boss Xiao, you're sneaking up on us! You can't take this lying down!"

"Don't just shout. Feel the wind around you. Let your body float in the air and you'll have a basic grasp of the wind element."

"Aa ...

Well, it seems Su Bai didn't hear a word I said, he was too busy yelling. Xiao rubbed his forehead and flashed to the foot of the mountain, ready to catch Su Bai later.

Breaking through layers of clouds, Su Bai's body continued to fall, feeling the howling wind around him. At this moment, Su Bai could no longer care about Xiao's trickery; the most important thing now was to save his life.

Because he was kicked down by Xiao, his body couldn't maintain its balance in the air, so his tail couldn't act as wind wings. Now, he could only rely on the abundant wind element within his body.

After failing to use his tail as a wind wing, Su Bai hurriedly mobilized the wind element in his body to try to use it to hold him back. However, the wind element mobilized in the rush could not form a wind at all, and even if it could, it could not hold back the rapidly falling Su Bai.

Because of his lack of skill in controlling the wind element, some of the winds he created even blew Su Bai downwards, making him numb. Was this because they thought he wasn't falling fast enough?

As the ground drew ever closer, Su Bai gritted his teeth and gathered lightning element in his palm. He planned to use the impact of the lightning element striking the ground to slow his descent.

Just as Su Bai finished gathering lightning element and was about to unleash a powerful attack on the ground, he suddenly realized that he was being lifted into the air by a wisp of wind, though this was clearly not his own wind element.

"True Lord Liuyun, thank you so much! Aa ...

Before Su Bai could finish expressing his gratitude, wind elements began to gather continuously. A bad premonition suddenly rose in Su Bai's heart. Then, a strong column of wind suddenly lifted Su Bai into the sky.

Having just experienced the feeling of uncontrollably rushing towards the earth, Su Bai is now experiencing the thrill of being carried away by his soul. The two completely different sensations make Su Bai feel terrible.

"Aaaaaah, True Lord Liuyun, why are you tormenting me too?"

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Xiao looked towards the direction of Liuyun Zhenjun's cave. It seemed that there was nothing more for him to do. Perhaps he could go to Liuyun Zhenjun to discuss how to teach Su Bai.

Inside the cave of True Lord Liuyun, a screen of light was playing a video of Su Bai suffering. As soon as Xiao stepped into the cave, a wave of malice enveloped him. Following this malice, he saw a woman staring at him fiercely.

If he remembered correctly, this woman should be Shen He, a disciple of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun. Why was she looking at him with such eyes? Xiao asked himself if he had offended Shen He in any way.

"Shen He, you must not be disrespectful to the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun reprimanded Shen He, who then withdrew his gaze. However, his clenched fists revealed that Shen He was not convinced.

"Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, please don't take it to heart. Shen He can't stand seeing Xiao Bai being bullied, that's why he was a bit rude to you."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun pointed to the light screen in front of her. Upon hearing Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's explanation, Xiao suddenly realized that she had seen him kick Su Bai. It seemed that Shen He was just like him. Xiao's gaze towards Shen He was no longer indifferent but rather somewhat appreciative.

Shen He's thinking was simple: only she could bully Su Bai, and it was unacceptable for anyone else to bully Su Bai! So even though Shen He knew Xiao's identity, she was still very rude to him.

Liu Yun Zhenjun acted as a peacemaker on the sidelines, but she was very satisfied with Shen He's performance. Perhaps in a few years she would be able to hold the little fox. Hmm, once the Emperor's plan succeeds, she must create a suitable environment for Shen He and Su Bai to go on a date.

In mid-air amidst the clouds, Su Bai had been lifted to a position higher than the mountain peaks. At this moment, he regretted not asking Xiao about the method to quickly master the wind element, and he regretted not choosing the method to master the wind element more slowly.

"Ugh, Xiao, how could you betray your own people? This is too much!"

Su Bai, suspended in mid-air, was on the verge of tears. He wanted Xiao to save him, but when he looked towards the mountain peak, Xiao was nowhere to be seen. Wasn't this just bullying an honest man?

"In the end, I still couldn't escape the clutches of True Lord Liuyun. If I had known, I would have just gone to True Lord Liuyun directly."

In the blink of an eye, a day had slipped away silently, like sand held tightly in one's hand. Su Bai, who had been flying in the sky all day, had a hoarse voice but had only learned a little bit of the basics.

Xiao watched through the light screen created by True Monarch Liuyun for a whole day, and the more he watched, the more puzzled he became. Logically speaking, Su Bai's talent was no worse than his.

When the Emperor threw him off the mountain, he mastered the wind element in just two days and even learned to incorporate it into his martial arts.

But why didn't the same method work on Su Bai? Xiao couldn't understand it. After all, Su Bai's authority was related to illusion magic, and the control over immortal power required extremely precise control.

Since Su Bai can control immortal power so skillfully, there's no reason why his progress in controlling wind element would be so slow. Xiao took the dinner that Shen He had prepared for Su Bai and left Liu Yun Zhenjun's cave. He was going to pick Su Bai up and take him back to Wangshu Inn. They would continue tomorrow.

Chapter 120 The Suffering After Special Training

"Boss, bring me a few plates of good dishes and two bowls of rice."

"Okay, oh, you're Su Bai? What happened to you?"

Phil Goddard covered her mouth in surprise. With his messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and hoarse voice, Phil Goddard would not have recognized Su Bai if she hadn't seen his three distinctive fox tails.

"Yanxiao, prepare a few dishes, Su Bai wants to eat some~"

"Okay, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, no spice, I understand."

The kitchen was filled with the passionate sounds of laughter. Su Bai glanced at the kitchen and was somewhat envious of the chef's enthusiasm and energy while cooking. All Su Bai wanted to do right now was finish his meal quickly and then throw himself onto the bed.

"Brother Su Bai, are you planning to stay at our Wangshu Inn tonight? You look so disheveled, I'll have someone prepare a hot bath for you."

"Thanks, please hurry up and serve the food. I'm starving. Remember to bring it up to the second floor so Xiao and I can eat together."

Su Bai reminded Philgoldet in a hoarse voice. Upon hearing that she was going to eat with that young immortal, Philgoldet hurriedly ran to the kitchen to tell Yan Xiao to put down the other dishes and prepare Su Bai's dishes first.

Hearing that the immortal upstairs also wanted to eat, Yan Xiao didn't dare to be careless. She picked up the pork that had been delivered from Qingquan Town that morning and started cooking. Watching Yan Xiao's actions, Phil Gaudette's eyes twitched. This pork was meant to be a treat for herself, but she hadn't even had a chance to taste it before it went into someone else's stomach.

"Don't forget to add another plate of almond tofu, and um, make another 'Immortal Jumps Over the Wall' dish, to make a total of six dishes."

Although Philgoldette thought the Demon-Slaying Sage wouldn't be bothered by the number of dishes, she still had to be mindful. After all, the two guests were immortals, and it would be troublesome if they felt uncomfortable. (In our tradition, the number of dishes when hosting a meal must be an even number, but not four.)

Upstairs, Phil Gaudette had already sent someone to move a table to the second floor. Xiao pushed the lunchbox on the table toward Su Bai. Su Bai looked at the small wooden box with a puzzled expression. He didn't know if it was because he had seen too many boxes in the Hall of Rebirth, but he always felt that this box was not so auspicious.

"Boss Xiao, even though you kicked me off the mountain, you don't have to give me a box, do you?"

"No matter what, I'm an immortal. At that height, I'd only be half-dead from a fall."

Xiao didn't say much, but simply opened the wooden lid of the box, revealing a whole box of stir-fried almond tofu in front of Su Bai. Su Bai raised an eyebrow; this was the first time in his life that Xiao had taken out food other than almond tofu. He had to have a good taste of it.

He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed two pieces of Qingxin (a type of herbal tea), and stuffed them into his mouth. In an instant, the bitterness of the Qingxin, the greasiness of the unknown animal fat, and the saltiness from the excessive salt exploded in Su Bai's mouth.

Su Bai's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his own mouth. He chewed it a couple more times, and the strange taste hit him right in the head. He finally realized that this thing really was that awful.

"Ptooey, Boss Xiao, what kind of cooking did you make? Throw it away right now, or you'll get food poisoning."

Su Bai picked up the fine tea that Phil Goddette had prepared for Xiao on the table and drank it all in one gulp. He drank a whole pot of tea before the strange taste in his mouth dissipated a little.

Xiao watched Su Bai's performance quietly, secretly glad that he hadn't taken a bite. Judging from Su Bai's expression, this stir-fried Qingxin dish was probably beyond the category of inedible. However, Xiao was still a little curious.

"Is it really that bad?"

"Boss Xiao, didn't you taste the food yourself after you cooked it? Never mind, I'm throwing this away."

As he spoke, Su Bai picked up the box, preparing to find a trash can to throw it away. Just as he turned around to go downstairs to ask Phil Gaudette where the trash can was, Xiao said something quietly behind him.

“This dish was made by Shen He, a disciple of the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng. She specifically asked me to watch you finish eating it.”

"She said that you must have worked very hard after a whole day of training, so she specially made this dish for you to nourish yourself."

Su Bai paused in his turn. Meow meow meow? This dish was made by Shen He? No wonder it tasted so bad. Shen He seemed to have never cooked before. In Su Bai's memory, Shen He always just chewed on various medicinal herbs.

Wait, something seems off. What do you mean by watching me cultivate all day? Could it be that True Monarch Liuyun really managed to create the mechanism that allows him to see the entire Jueyun Realm? Noticing Su Bai's surprise, Xiao explained.

"There is a light screen in the cave of the True Lord of Liuyun Borrowing Wind. As long as you send in your immortal power, you can see any scene in Jueyun Realm."

"So, Lord Liuyun and Shenhe watched me suffer all day long?"

Su Bai's lips trembled slightly. The truth that things you don't want to be seen are the easiest to be seen is indeed true. He thought that if he hid a little, Liu Yun Zhenjun and the others would not be discovered, but he did not expect that not only were they discovered, but Shen He also saw them.

"How could this happen? How could this be?"

Xiao felt a little sorry for Su Bai, who looked like he had been played with terribly. In order not to delay tomorrow's training, Xiao decided to comfort Su Bai.

"No, it's not that bad."

"What? Is there still a chance? Is the light screen broken?"

A glimmer of hope instantly appeared in Su Bai's lifeless eyes. Under Su Bai's anticipation, Xiao slowly spoke.

"At least the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing cannot preserve the images on the light screen."

"Really?"

"Yes, really. But she's already researching it. She said she's decided to study this problem tirelessly in order to record the beauty of life."

Recording the good times of life? Are you sure you don't want to record my embarrassing moments? Su Bai knows this old man, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, who is very good at chatting. This old man must want to record his embarrassing moments and then share them with Gan Yu and Shen He.

"I will definitely study hard tomorrow. Boss Xiao, let's go to Jueyunjian first thing tomorrow morning."

Motivated, Su Bai decided to stop sleeping in for the next few days. He wanted to part ways with his beloved blanket for a while, since absence makes the heart grow fonder. He would sleep in properly once he learned to control the wind element.

"Hmm, very good, you're full of energy. I'll wake you up at five o'clock then."

"Five, five o'clock?"

Su Bai could hardly believe his ears. It was still dark at five o'clock! How could Boss Xiao be flying around in Jueyun so early? Was he sure he wouldn't run into a rock?

"What, is there a problem?"

"No problem, Boss Xiao, just wake me up."
