Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Chapter 180: The Final Battle (5)

Ningguang's decision shocked not only Keqing, but even Ganyu could hardly believe her ears. As an immortal who had watched Ningguang build the Qunyu Pavilion bit by bit, Ganyu knew better than anyone the importance of the Qunyu Pavilion in Ningguang's heart.

Ningguang noticed the shock on everyone's face. She smiled slightly and said calmly.

"Although I am a businessman, this is based on the fact that I am a Liyue native."

"Since even a celestial being like Su Bai is willing to risk his life to protect Liyue Harbor, then a mere Jade Pavilion is nothing at all."

Ningguang's words dimmed the eyes of everyone present. However, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun was puzzled. The talisman she gave to Su Bai to protect his life did not seem to have been activated, which should not be the case.

Could it be that the Emperor made a move? This guess popped into Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's mind. If it was the Emperor who made the move, then everything would make sense.

"Gentlemen, let's get through this difficult time first. It seems that Osel has finished his final move."

Ningguang raised the Jade Pavilion, and Oser looked up and aimed at the Jade Pavilion floating in the sky. He was very confident in his last move. As long as Morax didn't come out to block it, this move would be enough to make all the insects in front of him disappear.

Despite the suction force of the seal, Oser charged up and sent the black sphere filled with the power of the demon god flying towards the Jade Pavilion. As his body was slowly sealed by the Tofu, Oser seemed to see the scene of Xiao and the others dying.

Hmm, when did his move become so fast? It feels like we're about to hit that flying rock after flying for only a short while. Ausel's several heads exchanged bewildered glances. What's going on? Did he get stronger? But this strengthening couldn't be more unfortunate.

Just as the deputy leaders were confused, the leader of Ausel noticed something amiss: he didn't seem to sense any life on that flying rock.

"Damn it, those guys got away!"

Following the leader's gaze, several streaks of light were indeed flying towards Liyue Harbor. The leader of Osel was furious, his eyes turning red. Wasn't it agreed that they would fight head-on? How could you bully an old man who is thousands of years old like this? It's just too unfair!

Although Oser wanted to curse a few words, the seal did not give him the chance to continue. The huge suction force directly sucked Oser in, and the turbulent sea gradually calmed down. Only the mushroom cloud rising from the sea and Ningguang's twitching lips revealed the intensity of the battle.

"It's finally over."

Ying looked at the mushroom cloud and sighed. Then she felt sad. Su Bai, her best friend, had left this world. The joy of victory in her heart vanished instantly.

"Ying, Ying, come quick! I've found Su Bai! He looks like he's buried in the sand."

Paimon, who had woken up at some unknown time, unexpectedly discovered something furry buried under the sand. When she dug it out, she found a furry fox tail pressed under her.

At Paimon's shout, all the immortals and humans present rushed to Paimon's side. At this moment, they no longer cared about their status and started digging in the sand with their bare hands.

In just one minute, Su Bai was dug out of the sand unharmed. Seeing that Su Bai was breathing steadily, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the Emperor still managed to save Su Bai.

"I'll leave the cleanup here to you, Great Sage Subduing Demons. I'll take Little Su Bai to heal his wounds first."

“Perhaps we can leave with you, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, as the ‘reinforcements’ of Liyue Harbor have arrived.”

Xiao put away his weapon. The long battle was a considerable burden for him, and he also needed to conserve his energy to deal with the remaining karmic obstacles in Liyue Harbor. He would leave the rest of the battle to them.

Reinforcements? Ningguang and Keqing exchanged a glance. How could they not know that Liyue Harbor had asked for help from the outside world? And even if they had asked for help, it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive so quickly.

Inside Liyue Harbor, after piercing a Deceptive Flower, Fengyan was surprised to find that the monsters' offensive had weakened considerably. It seemed that the monsters had experienced a break in their attack. Could it be that the monsters had fallen into a state of exhaustion?

Feng Yan was a little confused, but this was good news. He mustered all his strength and roared.

"Brothers, that big guy at sea has been dealt with by Lady Ningguang and the others. The remaining monsters are no longer a threat. Let's put in more effort and take down these guys..."

"Holy crap, how come there are so many baby rock dragons all of a sudden? How did ancient rock dragons end up here? Wait, why is this big guy carrying a child on its head?"

Feng Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. What he saw was a little girl in red sitting on the head of an ancient rock dragon lizard, which was actually beckoning a young rock dragon lizard to help them clear out the monsters.

"Keep it up, everyone! Sister Tuotuo said that after this battle, we'll be able to find jobs with room and board included."

"Although Klee doesn't know why either, Sister Tuotuo would never lie."

Upon hearing Klee's words, the Ancient Rock Lizard roared, and countless lizards behind it swarmed towards Liyue Harbor. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were monsters attacking Liyue Harbor.

Some monsters were initially confused by the sudden appearance of the dragon lizards, but when they saw the dragon lizards charging towards them, the monsters also rushed forward. As a result, the dragon lizards, relying on the solidity of the rock element and their own sturdy scales, rolled into balls and directly pierced through the monster army.

If I had to describe it, the dragon lizards were like a cavalry force that tore a hole in the monsters' infantry. Some adult dragon lizards even stood at a distance and started spewing elemental energy.

In the eyes of the observer, this battle became a cavalry and mage lineup against an infantry and archer lineup. Was there even a need for a fight? The outcome was already decided.

As it turned out, Luminous's guess was correct. Although the monsters were strengthened by Oser's demonic power, the dragon lizards chosen by Roda and brought to Liyue Harbor by Klee were all elites. Many of them even came from the Lava Abyss and were all battle-hardened.

That's right, this is the final step of Rota's plan. She had long anticipated that she would be driven away by Zhongli, so from the beginning she had Klee take her token to the Ancient Rock Lizard to help Liyue Harbor resist the monsters.

Ruo Tuo's idea was indeed quite good. The dragon lizards' powerful combat strength, combined with the Thousand Rock Army, should make it easy to stop these monsters. However, she forgot that the dragon lizards' movement speed was truly pitiful.

In order to avoid Zhongli noticing these little tricks, she settled the dragon lizards in a place far away from Liyue Harbor, which caused the dragon lizard army to waste too much time on the road, but they still caught up in the end.

Chapter 181 The Final Battle (The End)

"I wonder where Klee found so many rock dragon lizards. Do any of you immortals know where these rock dragon lizards came from?"

Ningguang watched the dragon lizards slaughtering the monsters with a sense of dread. If such powerful dragon lizards were encountered in the wild, it would be a disaster.

After Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun left with Su Bai, the remaining three immortals were not the kind of immortals who were very good at communicating with others. The three of them looked at each other, and in the end, Xiao spoke up to explain.

"Don't worry, these rock dragons are subordinates of a senior. Since she sent these dragons to support Liyue Harbor, she must have had her reasons. Moreover, these dragons may be an opportunity for you."

Xiao's ears are much better than Ningguang's and the others'. He heard Klee's words clearly. If these dragon lizards can be used properly, they would indeed be a good fighting force.

Ningguang's eyes lit up. As a merchant, she understood what Xiao meant. She wondered what these dragon lizards liked to eat. If it was just meat, Liyue might be able to have another rock dragon lizard army in the future.

"Gentlemen, let's join in too, end this war as soon as possible, and leave this place sooner."

The Moon-Shaking True Monarch shook off the water droplets on his body. The water element in Liyue Harbor was very strong due to the influence of Oser, which made the Moon-Shaking True Monarch very uncomfortable.

Xiao didn't say anything, but silently disappeared from the spot. Seeing that Xiao had already started to clear out the monsters, Lord Lishui Dieshan also flapped his wings and flew towards Liyue Harbor. He had met those interesting old people a few days ago and they suited his taste. He didn't want to see those old people killed.

The Moon-Slicing True Lord even walked directly through the air, continuously releasing fire elements towards the monster horde. This left Ying and the others on the beach somewhat bewildered. "You should take them with you when you go to Liyue Harbor. This beach isn't exactly close to Liyue Harbor."

"Well, everyone, I'll be taking my leave now."

Gan Yu circulated her immortal power, increasing her speed significantly. Ke Qing stared blankly at Gan Yu's back. She finally understood why Gan Yu was never late for work. Besides never leaving work, it was probably because of her extremely fast speed.

"Let's hurry up and go, or there won't be many monsters left."

With the arrival of the immortals, the monsters in Liyue Harbor were in dire straits. Although the immortals could not defeat Oser, dealing with the monsters was no problem at all.

During this time, Hu Tao was also amazed. Both of them were poking forward, but Xiao's speed and force were several times that of hers. That was so powerful that Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes were about to turn into starry eyes again.

"Wow, that's so cool! I want to learn that move too."

"I remember this person seems to be an immortal. When Su Bai returns, I will ask him to introduce me. I am certain that I can learn something from this immortal."

Looking at the corpses of monsters scattered all over the ground, Hu Tao became even more determined to become an apprentice. If Xiao knew what Hu Tao was thinking, he would definitely regret it to death. He was not good at dealing with a quirky little girl like Hu Tao.

With the sounding of the counterattack, the monsters were no match for the combination of the Celestials, Rock Lizards, and Thousand Rock Army. In just half an hour, all the monsters in Liyue Harbor were wiped out.

"Brothers, we've won!"

Looking at the monster corpses scattered all over the ground, Fengyan raised his white-tasseled spear and announced their victory. After a moment of silence, the entire Liyue Harbor became lively, with cheers ringing out.

"It seems that Liyue has unknowingly entered another era. Perhaps we old folks really don't need to interfere anymore."

"The Emperor is definitely right; we don't need to question his decision."

Xiao looked at Ningguang and the Thousand Rock Army surrounded by the crowd. The smiles on their faces were so bright that he could tell they came from the bottom of their hearts.

"Hahaha, I never thought I'd survive. Old Zhang, come over for a drink tonight."

"Haha, dog, I might need to take a nap first, you go ahead..."

Before one of the Thousand Rock soldiers could finish speaking, he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him and collapsed to the ground with a thud. At first, the people around him were not surprised, after all, high-intensity battles are indeed tiring. But as more and more people fell, the Thousand Rock soldiers finally realized that something was wrong.

When a soldier named Qianyan was helping his friend home, he was surprised to find that his friend's face was full of wrinkles. Looking at his hair, he parted the dense hair and found that the roots of the hair had begun to turn white.

"What, what's going on? Doctor, where's the doctor? Help!"

"Qiqi, Qiqi is here."

Hearing someone shout for help, Qiqi grabbed a small first-aid kit and ran over. After examining the person, Qiqi tilted his head and said to his friend, "The person lying on the ground is clearly only in his twenties, but why does his body look like that of someone in his forties? It's really strange."

"Little Qiqi, how is my friend?"

"He was just tired and took a nap. It's probably because he's getting old and the strenuous exercise was too tiring."

"You can give him a bath with these herbs, it will help a lot."

As she spoke, Qiqi took out a pen and paper and wrote down the name of a pharmacy for Qianyanjun in front of her. However, Qianyanjun did not accept it and instead looked at Qiqi in disbelief.

"Little Qiqi, you must be mistaken, right? He's only in his early twenties."

"Hmm, if that's the case, then I might have made a mistake."

Qianyanjun patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew it! How could his good brother be so weak? Qiqi tilted his head and said slowly...

"If he's not over forty, then it's probably because his life force is fading. I heard Mr. Baishu mention that."

"If the pulse does not match the age, it is very likely that there is a problem with vitality."

“Vitality? Impossible. I’ve been with him all day. Even if there’s something wrong with this kid, I would have noticed it immediately. Wait a minute.”

As if he had just thought of something, Qianyanjun pulled a dark, unsightly object from his friend's pocket. His friend seemed to have used this thing during the battle, and then suddenly became incredibly powerful.

"You guessed right, it was this thing that drained your friend's life force."

"Lord Ningguang!"

Ningguang took the Evil Eye from the Thousand Rock Army. She didn’t expect that such a thing would be circulating within the Thousand Rock Army. Could it be that it was the young master’s doing again?

"Since Liyue is still here, why are you crying? Cough cough cough, we are just going ahead."

"Take that thing out of my pocket and give it to Lady Ningguang. And whatever you do, don't use it again if you come across it in the future."

An elderly Thousand Rock Army soldier with white hair was reprimanding a young Thousand Rock Army soldier. From their conversation, it was clear that the old Thousand Rock Army soldier had also used the Evil Eye. Perhaps because he had used it for too long, this Thousand Rock Army soldier had reached the end of his life.

Chapter 182 Post-War Arrangements

"Bai Shi, the families of all the Thousand Rock soldiers who sacrificed their lives or were seriously wounded in this battle must be properly settled. The compensation will be five times, no, ten times. I will pay this amount in Mora. In addition, find suitable jobs for their families. If only the children are left, find them good families."

"If the children don't want to be adopted, they can be placed in an orphanage. The compensation will be given to them when they grow up. These matters are your responsibility."

Bai Shi bowed slightly and withdrew, but her heart was far from calm. The Qianyan Army's pension had always been the highest among the seven kingdoms, and ten times that amount was no small sum.

Moreover, Lady Ningguang has delegated a great deal of authority this time, which means that Lady Ningguang attaches great importance to this matter. Therefore, Baishi should think carefully about how to handle this matter in order to satisfy Ningguang.

"Oh, you're all here. Well then, I have something to announce."

"Given that the Hall of Rebirth has been in business for thousands of years, I, the Hall Master, have decided to give back to Liyue. For the next seven days, the Hall of Rebirth will provide coffins and boxes free of charge, and I, the Hall Master, will preside over the ceremony free of charge."

As Hu Tao descended from Yujingtai, a rare seriousness appeared on her face as she looked at the people passing away before her. Although this might plunge the Hall of Rebirth into a financial crisis, Hu Tao, as the head of the hall, had made up her mind. Even if she had to sell her valuables, she would do it.

This little girl has really grown up. Zhongli originally intended to come over and see how Ningguang would handle the next situation, but unexpectedly there was a pleasant surprise, which made Zhongli quite emotional.
