Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

After the two had walked a distance, several Hilichurls suddenly appeared and blocked their way. Already annoyed, Ruo Tu used a Hilichurl thug as a weapon and smashed all the Hilichurls around her to death. Her petite body and the unconscious Hilichurl thug in her hand formed a stark contrast.

Seeing the irritable Rudra, Zhongli could hardly bear to look at him. Barbatos's familiar Dvalin was guarding Mondstadt, and Raijin's familiar Yae no Miko was managing Inazuma. Why was his own Dragon King not doing anything serious? Had he been infected by that drunkard next door?

Ruo Tuo didn't care what Zhong Li was thinking. After clearing out the Hilichurl camp, she casually stuck the Hilichurl thug in her hand into the ground.

Faced with Rota's immense strength in this match, the Hilichurl thug acting as referee was reduced to ashes and vanished in Rota's hands.

"Speak up, Morax, why did you bring me back with you? What's wrong with you that you can't handle? If it's something trivial, then don't blame me for sparring with you."

Chapter 195 Snow Mountain Trip (3)

"So, you want to take me to the Abyss of Laminaria to see if the Frost Spikes there have also been affected?"

At this point, Ruo Tuo no longer harbored much resentment, because this matter was indeed very important. However, what she couldn't understand was why Zhong Li wanted to take him along. Did Zhong Li think that he could solve the problem that he couldn't?

As if sensing Ruo Tuo's confusion, Zhong Li sighed, his face filled with dejection.

"Alas, Ruoduo, you also know that I am no longer the Rock God. According to the contract, the Heart of God is no longer in my body, and my strength is far from what it used to be."

“The Abyss of Layered Rocks is incredibly dangerous. I fear that without your help, I might be stuck there forever.”

"Morax, do you really think I'm stupid??? On the day Osel was unsealed, you threw me from Liyue Harbor to Wangshu Inn. Do you really think I'm easy to fool?"

Ruo Tuo was almost driven mad by Zhong Li's reasoning. He thought, "Damn it, does she really think I'm brainless?" Seeing that he hadn't fooled Ruo Tuo, Zhong Li changed the subject.

"Ruo Tuo, as you know, I am just an ordinary person now. In other people's eyes, I don't have much strength. If I appear in the Abyss of Layered Rocks, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

"But as long as you, the immortal, are with me, even if we are discovered, people will only think of you. They will say that you, the immortal, noticed something unusual in the Abyss of Layered Rocks and took me to investigate."

"In this way, your reputation will grow higher and higher in Liyue."

Ruo Tuo thought about it and realized that it made sense. Once her reputation was high enough, she would call on the people to elect Zhong Li as one of the Liyue Seven Stars. She remembered that the old man she met today was one of the Liyue Seven Stars. The old man was so old that it was perfect for Zhong Li to succeed him. She didn't believe that Zhong Li could refuse the voice of the people. Then Zhong Li wouldn't have time to control her, and she could travel around freely.

"Alright then, I'll go with you."

Seeing that Ruo Tuo agreed, Zhong Li secretly rejoiced. Once there's a first time, there will be a second, and once there's a second, there will be many more. It seems that he won't have to handle some things personally in the future, and his wonderful retirement life will become even more leisurely.

And so, each with their own thoughts, the two headed towards the Abyss of Layered Rocks. The way they looked at each other was so clear, as if they harbored no selfish motives whatsoever.

After Zhongli and Ruoduo left, the Hilichurls were tidying up their dilapidated campsite and preparing lunch. Aside from Klee and Qiqi being a little sad about Ruoduo's departure, the mood of the rest of the group was not affected. In fact, Hu Tao became even more excited because of Zhongli's departure. It seemed that no one would be watching over her on this snow mountain trip.

Seeing that Hu Tao had taken Ke Li and Qi Qi out to find ingredients, while Ying and Mona were busy at the stove, Shen He was observing their actions from the side. It seemed they were learning how to cook. Seeing this, Su Bai suddenly felt like he had nothing to do.

"I remember Klee likes to eat fish, so I'll go to the river and catch a few."

Thinking that he might be able to help, Su Bai walked towards the ice lake not far away. Based on his many years of experience in electrofishing, there should be many fish in that ice lake.

Approaching the frozen lake, Su Bai couldn't help but sigh. He had to admit that, apart from being a bit cold and windy, the scenery in the snow-capped mountains was really quite beautiful. After seeing so many magnificent mountains and rivers in Liyue, it was quite captivating to change the scenery occasionally. These mountains, this water, these people... wait, these two people give me the feeling that they might be Yura and Amber?

“Su Bai, it really is you! I just told Youla that I saw you, but she didn’t believe me.”

"Haha, I didn't expect to run into you guys here."

Su Bai was also quite surprised and waved to Yura and Amber. It was really rare to meet his friends in this desolate place.

"Hmph, you lecherous fox, you wouldn't be trying to peep at us while we're bathing, would you? I'll remember this grudge!"

As soon as Yura opened her mouth, Su Bai knew why the two of them had come here. Su Bai scratched his head awkwardly. This was really unfair to him. He hadn't done anything. Amber blushed and quickly changed the subject.

"Su Bai, you must also be here for the Adventurers' Guild's event, right? I heard the rewards are quite generous."

"No, no, no, I'm not here to participate in the event, but Ying might be. I'm just here to find an alchemist named Abedo."

"Ying? Ying is here too! That's great, with her here, the pressure will definitely be reduced a lot."

Amber cheered when she heard that Ying had arrived, but Su Bai was not so optimistic. If it were just Ying who came, it would be fine, but this time Hu Tao was also here. With her there, there might be some trouble. However, Hu Tao was quite capable and should be able to handle a lot of problems.

"Do you want to come to the camp with me? We've captured a Hilichurl camp nearby and are preparing to cook."

"Eh? Is that alright? Thank you for your help."

Inside the camp, Hu Tao and the others, who had returned sometime earlier, had already begun processing their prey. Frozen fresh meat was a rare ingredient in Liyue Harbor, and even Hu Tao, who came from a wealthy family, had only eaten it a handful of times.

As for Mona, well, let's not even talk about her. Poor Mona probably only ate meat a handful of times before. Just now, when Walnut dragged a frozen wild boar back to the camp, Mona even borrowed Ying's camera to take a picture as a souvenir.

"Oh, Amber, Yura, you're here too! You must be here for the event just like us."

"Paimon, it's been so long! You seem to have gotten fatter. If you get too fat, you might not be able to fly and could fall from the sky!"

"Paimon hasn't gotten fat, Amber, it must be your imagination!"

Amber teased Paimon a bit, and Su Bai introduced Amber and Yura to everyone. Amber was fine with everyone's greetings, but Yura seemed a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Yura was having some trouble fitting in with the crowd, Hu Tao immediately jumped out and pulled out a flyer for the Wangshengtang meal package from somewhere. Before Yura could react, she shoved the flyer into Yura's hand.

"Yula, I heard from Su Bai that your family has a lot of members. How about we get a few of our Rebirth Hall set meals? They're delicious and inexpensive, first come, first served!"

"A package deal? Let me see what it includes. Hmm... another home? I don't really need it. I'm currently staying at Su Bai's house, so I don't have any need for that."

"Hmm? You were thinking about other things while I was talking to you. I'll remember this grudge!"

Yura waved her hand in front of Hu Tao's eyes in confusion. Hu Tao then realized what was happening and swallowed hard, feeling Shen He's cold gaze behind her.

"Well, Yura, I really hope you can buy one. You won't lose out, and I'll even give you a 50% discount."

Hu Tao swears she has never been so sincere in promoting the Rebirth Hall's packages to anyone, especially at a loss. However, Yura doesn't seem very interested. After glancing at it briefly, she returns the flyer to Hu Tao.

Chapter 196 Snow Mountain Trip (4)

Inside the camp, a group of people gathered to eat should have been in a cheerful atmosphere, but after Shenhe and Yura met, the atmosphere seemed to have changed subtly. Even Paimon, who was usually oblivious, could tell that something seemed off. Well, Mona was an exception; all she could see now was the fragrant roasted frozen meat.

"Ying, the atmosphere here is so scary, should we leave first?"

"If we leave, I'm afraid Shinhaku and Yura might start fighting."

Ying and Paimon were talking in hushed tones. Having traveled to so many worlds, Ying could naturally see Shen He's hostility towards Yura, as if Yura had stolen something Shen He cherished. The only person who could elicit such a reaction from Shen He was Su Bai.

"Sister Shenhe, here's some fish for you."

Klee picked up a grilled fish and put it in Shen He's bowl. After spending a few days together, Klee had developed a good impression of Shen He, the white-haired older sister. Whenever she was bored and went to find Shen He, Shen He would always tell her stories about Su Bai's childhood. Those stories were very interesting. Moreover, when she wanted to experiment with a new type of bouncy vehicle, Shen He even took her to punish evil and promote good, and they caught many treasure-stealing groups.

During the few days that Keli spent with Shenhe, the thing that made Keli happiest was that Shenhe took her to visit a talking crane. The talking crane told her many interesting stories, such as rolling down the mountain and plunging headfirst into a snowdrift. These stories broadened Keli's horizons.

Seeing that Klee gave her favorite grilled fish to Shin-haku, Yura felt a pang of sadness; she had never even tasted fish grilled by Klee herself.

"Little Keli, your sister Yura doesn't have any fish to eat either. Why don't you grill some fish for her? I'll remember this grudge."

"Hey? Then grill another fish for Yura-neechan."

"Alright, alright, Yura, don't hold a grudge. Here, have some of my grilled fish."

Amber shoved the grilled fish she was holding into Yura's hand. She wasn't particularly interested in grilled fish; the fish in her hand was only grilled for Yura.

Hu Tao looked at Yura and then at Shen He. She felt it was necessary for her to resolve the trouble for her employee. Of course, the main reason was that she was partly responsible for Shen He's current state. If she hadn't taken Shen He out for a stroll in Liyue Harbor without keeping a close eye on him, Shen He wouldn't have come into contact with Ying'er, and he wouldn't have bought some light novels with strange titles from Ying'er.

If the book's title was strange, that would be one thing, but the contents were even more eye-opening for Hu Tao, which was one of the reasons why Shen He became so hostile to Yura.

Just you wait, Yaedo is the producer, right? Don't let me find out where Yaedo is, otherwise I'll definitely be there every day trying to sell you my packages. Damn it, of all things you could produce, you have to produce novels where the male lead gets stolen away by the female supporting character, it's just unbelievable.

Hu Tao secretly held a grudge against Yaedo, and she was determined to get her revenge. However, the more important thing now was to find a way to save her employees.

"Well, it seems everyone has eaten their fill, so let's split up and get started."

"Su Bai, I remember you said you were going to find some alchemist, right? Then take Shen He and Ke Li and go there quickly."

"As for the rest of you, let's go to the Adventurers' Guild's event together. I can't wait to promote the package to the adventurers. This package is very cost-effective in terms of both price and service."

Faced with Hu Tao's cover, Su Bai, feeling very grateful, pulled Shen He and hugged Ke Li, wanting to leave this place of trouble. However, Shen He, unlike her usual calm demeanor, gently broke free from Su Bai's hand. She stared at Yura and said coldly.

"No, I won't go with Su Bai to find the alchemist. I've suddenly become very interested in the Adventurers' Guild's activities."

"My master told me to communicate more with others, but I'll stick with Hu Tao."

Shen He's words startled Hu Tao. What was going on? Shen He had only been down the mountain for a few days, and he already knew about competing with a rival for love. Yaedo's light novels were really harmful. Ahhh, Yaedo, give me back the aloof and indifferent Shen He!

Hu Tao mentally freaked out a few times. If she remembered correctly, this event was supposed to be about guiding new adventurers to familiarize themselves with the snow mountain. If Shen He were to lead the team, he might end up fighting with Yura.

Su Bai felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Shen He's clenched fist. Youla was just an ordinary person. If she were to take a punch from Shen He, she would definitely be bedridden for days. Sure enough, Shen He, who always raised the issue instead of solving it, hadn't changed at all.

"Hey, Sister Shenhe, you're not thinking anything strange, are you? Yura is my friend and just an ordinary person. You need to calm down. She's not like me, you can't just pin her to the ground and beat her without getting hurt."

"Your friend? Never mind, I'll do it for your sake."

Sure enough, you wanted to go to the event with Hu Tao just to teach Yura a lesson, right? Su Bai's head was buzzing. Sister Shen He was good in every way, except for her personality... Sigh, let's take it slow. At worst, I'll just take her with me wherever I go in the future.

"Hmph, you still want to fight me? I'll remember this grudge!"

Yura still didn't understand why Shen He was so hostile towards her. She didn't remember ever offending this white-haired woman in front of her. It was truly puzzling.

Amber was also very puzzled. In her memory, Yura had never mentioned knowing such a girl. Could it be that Yura had forgotten her, which was why this girl was so angry?

Seeing that Yura and Shenhe were about to fight again, Ying suddenly remembered that the Adventurers' Guild had once asked her to investigate the storm in the snow mountain. Ying's eyes lit up. This was perfect! She could use this excuse to separate Yura and Shenhe and also get Shenhe to help her investigate the cause of the storm.

"Alright, alright, since everyone is here in the snow mountain to complete a mission, I'll assign the tasks."

“Amber, Yura, Kurumi, and Qiqi, the four of you will come with Amber to the Adventurers’ Guild’s camp. There will definitely be wounded there, and there are many people there, which is perfect for Kurumi and Qiqi.”

"Klee, Shenhe and Mona, the three of you will follow me and Su Bai. Su Bai is going to find Abedo, so we need you to guide us. Shenhe, you are proficient in magic, and we may need your help when we deal with the storm later."

Everyone agreed with Ying's arrangement, as it not only separated Shen He and Yu La, but also took into account everyone's thoughts.

"Then let's set off quickly. I, the master of this hall, can't wait to promote our Hall of Rebirth's services to the adventurers of Mondstadt."

"This time I must prove to the Adventurers' Association of Liyue that it is their loss that they do not cooperate with our Hall of Rebirth."

"Go, Walnut! I don't know what your Rebirth Hall sells, but I, Scout Amber, will definitely help you promote it."

Perhaps because they both possess the Fire-attribute Eye of God, Kurumi and Amber surprisingly get along well. As for Qiqi and Yura, Yura's smile never stopped after Qiqi called her "sister," so it seems that the two of them can get along quite well.

Seeing that no one else had any objections, Su Bai naturally had no objection to Ying's assignment. After all, he didn't want to see Shen He and You La fight. After agreeing to meet at the camp at the foot of the mountain after Ying finished dealing with the storm, the group split into two teams and headed in two different directions.

Chapter 197 The Purpose of Meeting Abedo

"Thank you for your help these past few days, Klee."

Inside a cave, after watching Keli, Ying, and Shen He leave, Su Bai and Abedo thanked Su Bai politely. He had unexpectedly discovered while holding Keli that she had gained weight, at least two or three pounds, if not four or five.

Moreover, he saw pure joy on Klee's face, which was completely different from her demeanor in Mondstadt. As her older brother, Abedo was very happy about Klee's change.

With Klee acting as a linchpin, Su Bai and Abedo got along quite well. Su Bai took a good look at Abedo's base, and all sorts of strange tools inside revealed Abedo's superb alchemy skills. After all, Timaeus in Mondstadt sometimes couldn't even figure out how to use an alchemy table.

"I never expected that an alchemist with such superb alchemy skills would be so young. Mr. Abedo's talent is truly extraordinary."
