Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"What happened? How did these emblems end up in your hands?"

Faced with the questioning of the Thunderhammer Vanguard, the Fool swallowed hard, as if recalling something terrifying, but his duty to obey orders still compelled him to describe everything he had seen and heard.

"So, everyone in that secret base you went to is dead?"

"Yes, Captain, these insignia are what I took from them."

The Thunderhammer Vanguard picked up an insignia and examined it closely. All the insignia were genuine. It seemed that this was truly troublesome. If nothing unexpected happened, the Fools, who were supposed to join the interception force, should have already sacrificed their lives for the Queen.

"Hey, what's that round thing in your arms? Let me see!"

A musketeer who looked quite capable snatched the spherical unidentified object from the Fool's arms. The Fool was about to say something, but was instead called over by the Thunder Hammer Vanguard for questioning.

Once the main character was gone, the musketeer was sure to examine this novel gadget. He had seen quite a few interesting things in Liyue these past few days, and he was even thinking of keeping a few to take back to Winterfell after the mission was over.

Upon seeing the musketeer holding a small, unfamiliar gadget, the Thunderfire Sorcerer and the other elites gathered around. They all knew the musketeers' interests and hobbies, and perhaps this little gadget had some magical properties.

To give everyone a better look, the musketeer simply held his musket horizontally in front of him and placed the round little thing on top of it.

"I mean, is this thing some kind of toy?"

"Impossible. Who would keep their toys in a secret base? This must be the collection of the captain in the secret base."

The musketeer, who had looted many corpses, deduced from the feel of this little gadget that it must be a treasure. The lightning mage poked the gadget, and you know what? This little thing was really magical; it even lit up after being touched a few times.

Wait, it's lit up? Why is this thing lit up? Sensing the sudden burst of fire element from this little gadget, the musketeer tried to warn his comrade, but it was too late.

With a loud boom, dense fire element swept outwards from in front of the musketeer, and none of the fools who had gathered around to watch the spectacle escaped; they all became nourishment for the earth.

Startled by the sudden explosion, the Thunder Hammer Vanguard Army raised his hammer, about to shout "Enemy attack!", only to find that his soldiers were already lying on the ground.

"Could that little thing be a bomb?"

The Fool's leader in charge of the reconnaissance narrowed his eyes. Looking at the ruins left by the explosion, he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. Wasn't this similar to the explosion marks left inside the secret base?

"Captain, we should retreat immediately. The situation is already out of Young Master's control. If we don't leave now, I'm afraid..."

"No, we can't leave. Even if the situation has exceeded expectations, we can't leave until the young master issues a retreat order."

Chapter 162 The Battle Inside the Golden House (1)

Thinking of getting some more exercise, after dealing with the remaining two Fools, Su Bai found a letter of appointment on the dying Thunder Hammer Vanguard.

"Tsk, Captain of the Fools' Interception Force. It seems those roadblocks on the road were the work of your Fools."

"Logically speaking, since you were able to make so many metal roadblocks, you shouldn't have only this many people left, right?"

Su Bai glanced around. Even including the few Fools who were killed in the explosion, there were only about ten people. Based on his understanding of the Fools' internal positions, a captain should have at least a hundred or so people under his command.

These Thunder Hammer Vanguard soldiers were quite tough; they just stared at Su Bai without saying a word. Normally, Su Bai might have played along with them, but now that he was certain that the young master was causing trouble inside the Golden House, he didn't have time to waste here.

A bolt of lightning flashed, and the Thunderhammer Vanguard bravely sacrificed their lives for their Queen, while Ying found fragments of the bouncing bomb in the charred ruins of the explosion.

"Hey! Isn't this Klee's bomb? Why is it here?"

Paimon had seen Klee blast fish before, and she never imagined that the seemingly weak bouncy bombs that exploded in the water would have such power.

Not only Paimon noticed this oddity, but Su Bai also noticed it. He even sensed a trace of immortal power in the ruins of the explosion. Could it be that Klee encountered some immortal?

Su Bai thought for a moment, and he really couldn't think of any immortal who would play with Keli. However, he was certain that Keli was quite popular with the immortals, otherwise the immortals wouldn't have wasted their immortal power to make bouncy bombs for Keli.

"Su Bai, stop daydreaming! Let's hurry up and go. Young Master is still waiting for us in the Golden House."

Ying urged Su Bai, saying that they had already wasted some time here, and if this continued, the young master might run away.

In front of the Golden House, the young master was still entangled with the Thousand Rock Army guarding it. It wasn't that the young master didn't want to deal with these Thousand Rock Army soldiers, but rather that these soldiers actually had many extremely powerful bombs, which gave the young master a great headache.

If it were like before, where injuries were exchanged for injuries, it wouldn't have become such a entanglement. However, the words of the stragglers forced the young master to abandon this idea. He didn't want Tok to see him in such a sorry state. If Tok discovered that his identity as a toy salesman was fake, then Tok would be heartbroken.

"Captain, I didn't expect the bomb that little girl gave us to be so powerful. I think we can report this to Lady Keqing after the battle and purchase more."

"Yes, yes, this thing is much better than the white-tasseled spear. With this, that strong pretty boy has been fighting us for so long without gaining any advantage."

These Thousand Rock soldiers stationed at the Golden House were originally determined to fight to the death. Although Ningguang had instructed them to prioritize survival, none of the Thousand Rock soldiers sent to guard such an important place as the Golden House were cowards. It was precisely this will to die that made the young master regret not bringing more of his men.

"No, we can't delay any longer. If we don't deal with these Thousand Rock Army soldiers as soon as possible, the rest of the plan will be impossible to carry out."

"Don't let me find out who gave these bombs to the Chiyan Army, or I will definitely not let them get away with it!"

A purple light flashed in the young master's eyes, and the first stage of the Demon King Armor was activated instantly. Lightning elements condensed on his body, causing all the Thousand Rock Army soldiers present to take a deep breath, and a huge pressure rose in their hearts.

At that moment, Ruoduo, who was still having snacks in the Rebirth Hall, sneezed loudly. She rubbed her nose and wondered to herself who was talking about her behind her back.

As the youngest executor among the Fools, the young master's strength is beyond question. By the time Su Bai and Ying arrived at the Golden House, a large number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers had already fallen outside.

After a quick check, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering that the Thousand Rock Army soldiers had merely fainted. It seemed that the young master was in a hurry, as he entered the Golden House without finishing off the Thousand Rock Army soldiers.

However, although the young master did not kill him, it did not mean that Su Bai would let him go so easily. Su Bai circulated the immortal power in his body. Apart from the amount he had used up while traveling, the remaining power should be enough to deal with the young master.

Inside the Golden House, the young master was observing the entire Golden House. When he saw the corpse of the Rock Dragon at the deepest part of the Golden House, he found it hard to believe that Ningguang would just leave the immortal body of the Rock King here like this. Perhaps there were traps all around this immortal body.

Because obtaining the Heart of God is of paramount importance to Her Majesty the Queen, the young master has to be cautious, as such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity may not come again for a long time.

This also led to the fact that when Su Bai and Ying entered the Golden House, the first thing they saw was Gong, who was like a mouse, groping along the corner of the Golden House and walking deeper into it.

This strange scene made Paimon turn his gaze away from the large pile of Mora; compared to the alluring Mora, the young master was clearly more attractive at this moment.

"Ying, do you think Young Master might have had his brain blown up by a bouncing bomb?"

"Probably not? Maybe it's some kind of performance art by the Fools?"

As Su Bai and Ying walked toward the immortal body of the Rock King Emperor, they chatted idly. They didn't have time to pay attention to the young master; their primary goal was to confirm whether the Rock King Emperor had indeed been assassinated.

The young master, who had noticed Su Bai and Ying long ago, sneered, ready to see them make a fool of themselves. But what happened next left him dumbfounded: Su Bai and Ying arrived unharmed beside the immortal body of the Rock King Emperor. Su Bai even circled the Rock King Emperor Emperor's immortal body once.

No, something as precious as the Rock King Emperor's Immortal Body is not only kept in a place like the Golden House, but why is there no protective measure at all? Aren't you afraid that it will be stolen?

The young master expressed his shock, but seeing that Su Bai and Ying were about to touch the immortal body of the Rock King Emperor, the young master did not have time to think and took out his bow and arrow and shot at Su Bai and Ying.

The two, who were keeping a close eye on the young master's movements, quickly dodged. Two water arrows struck the wall of the Golden House, leaving two dents. Although they hadn't had time to examine them carefully, Su Bai was certain that the Rock King Emperor had no injuries on his body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young master conjured water blades with both hands and slashed at Ying. Seeing the young master's fierce attack, Ying didn't have time to think and condensed wind element on the black rock longsword to slash at the young master. In an instant, the diffusion reaction triggered by the water and wind elements wetted the ground, and the slippery ground made Ying very uncomfortable.

Su Bai, naturally, did not miss this opportunity. Lightning element burst forth from his body and rushed straight towards the young master, whose situation began to become dangerous.

Chapter 163 The Battle Inside the Golden House (2)

In such a situation, an ordinary person would have given up long ago, but the battle-hardened young master was different. He gently raised the water blade in his hand, and the wind element on the glowing sword generated a huge thrust.

By the time Ying realized something was wrong, it was too late. The young master used this momentum to fly directly to the side of the Rock King Emperor's immortal body. Su Bai was somewhat surprised to see that the young master was so graceful.

It seems this young master is quite skilled. Only someone who has been through countless battles can truly master this kind of leverage technique. Even someone as knowledgeable as him can't use it for now. After all, this technique can be life-saving if used well, but it can be fatal if used poorly.

Ying took a deep breath. As a beautiful young woman who could be the ancestor of a young master, she had never been teased like this before. It seemed that after finishing her current business, she would need to improve her swordsmanship.

The young master's mood wasn't very good either. If it were just Ying alone, he was confident he could take her down. But now, with Su Bai watching Ying closely behind, the young master was in a dilemma.

Forget it, let's get our hands on the Heart of God first. If all else fails, we can just run away. With that thought, the young master stabbed hard at the lifeless rock dragon on the platform, but he grabbed nothing.

The young master, who did not believe in superstition, touched the rock dragon's body again. Only after confirming that the Heart of God was not in the immortal body did he take his hand out. At the same time, the young master was also a little puzzled. This should not be the case. Wouldn't the Rock King Emperor carry such a precious thing as the Heart of God with him at all times?

Before the young master could figure out what was going on, a bolt of lightning shot straight toward his face, followed by an angry roar.

"Young master, remove your claws from the Emperor's immortal body!"

At this moment, Su Bai was no longer the calm man he used to be. His three bristling tails swayed erratically, and lightning and wind elements surged across his body. His once black pupils had now turned into beastly eyes.

Paimon felt a pang of pity for the young master because of his emotionless, beastly eyes. She had known Su Bai for quite some time, but this was the first time she had ever seen him so furious. It seemed the young master was in for some trouble.

Seeing the violent lightning and wind elements on Su Bai's body, the young master secretly groaned. Although he loved fighting and longed to become stronger in battle, he didn't like courting death.

Seeing the look in Su Bai's eyes that seemed to want to devour him alive, the young master now regretted his actions. If he had known that his behavior would anger Su Bai, he would never have been so bold. Enraging the opponent when outnumbered is not a good choice.

However, since he had already provoked them, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and deal with both of them at the same time. But the young master clearly still wanted to struggle, so he gave an awkward smile.

"Well, would you believe me if I said it was a misunderstanding? I just wanted to investigate the cause of the Rock King Emperor's death, I really didn't have any other intentions."

"Hehe, since you care so much about the Emperor, I'll give you a chance to have an in-depth conversation with him."

Lightning crackled around Su Bai as he drew closer to the young master, the flow of immortal energy within him causing a hazy sensation.

“I will build you into the rock ridge. Don’t you love to communicate with the Emperor? Once we’re in the rock ridge, you can have a good chat with him.”

"Haha, is that so? Then, die..."

Seeing that the matter could not be resolved peacefully, the young master conjured a water blade and chose to strike first. The sharp water blade went straight for Su Bai's neck. Since he had decided to make a move, the young master decided to kill Su Bai with one blow.

Unfortunately, the young master underestimated Su Bai. His very confident sneak attack actually passed right through Su Bai. If the young master hadn't reacted quickly and steadied himself, he would have definitely fallen flat on his face.

"This is... an illusion!"

The young master's expression turned grim. He really didn't have a good solution to illusions, and he always had a headache when encountering enemies like this.

As the young master had predicted, his attacks were completely ineffective, hitting illusions with every strike, while he himself sustained numerous wounds.

"Heh, Lord Su Bai's illusion magic is indeed well-deserved. There are only a handful of people in the entire Teyvat continent who can use illusion magic to force me to this extent."

"Then let Lord Su Bai witness my strongest power, Demon King Armor!"

As they spoke, a strange power suddenly surged around the young master. This power was not only evil, but Su Bai also sensed a morbid madness within it. This was the power of the Evil Eye, which he had seen on the Scattered Soldier before. Moreover, from the Scattered Soldier, he knew that this thing called the Evil Eye was no ordinary being.

"This power should not exist in the world."

Su Bai suppressed his doubts and looked at the young master who had successfully transformed. Su Bai could feel that the young master had become much stronger. Moreover, the young master was no longer fighting with his eyes. He was now relying on the perception ability that came with the Demon King Armor.

In truth, the young master did not intend to use the Demon King Armor in this situation. The Demon King Armor was simply too much of a burden for him. If he could not resolve the conflict with Su Bai and Ying while using the Demon King Armor, he would be doomed.

Realizing that the illusion was no longer effective against the young master, Su Bai regretfully dispersed the immortal power that permeated the golden house. He had originally thought he could give the young master a righteous stab, but he didn't expect that the young master would resort to cheating when he couldn't win.

The young master took out a long spear and waved it lightly at Su Bai. A bolt of lightning struck straight at Su Bai. Su Bai looked at the lightning flying towards him and took out a one-handed sword from the space of the Eye of God and slashed at it. The lightning bolt that the young master slashed was cut in two with extremely smooth movements.

"It seems that Lord Su Bai's lightning element is no less than mine. How about we call it a day?"

"Heh heh, young master, die!"

Su Bai didn't give the young master a chance to continue speaking. He swung his one-handed sword at the young master. At first, the young master had the upper hand in the weapon competition, but the more he fought, the more he felt something was wrong. The speed at which this fox was improving was too fast.

From being completely overwhelmed by him at the beginning to now being able to hold his own against him, how could this guy's martial arts talent be so high? Even the young master, who was a genius, was shocked by Su Bai's terrifying speed of progress.

Although Su Bai hadn't used a one-handed sword for a long time, his previous skills were still there. In addition, with Xiao's special training these past few days and the constant battles with the young master, he felt that the sword in his hand was becoming more and more comfortable.

The young master was very aggrieved. He thought, "You can fight if you want, but why use me as a tool?" He, the youngest executor of the Fools, had been reduced to a mere tool.

Feeling increasingly frustrated, the young master forced Su Bai back with a single move. Water elements began to converge on him, as he prepared to show Su Bai his prized possession. Su Bai glanced at the young master with some regret; such a good sparring partner was being abandoned.
