Is there something wrong with playing Genshin Impact in the dungeon?

"During this period, we not only need to maximize the Emperor's level, but also strive to reach the 'ultimate stage of the second growth phase'."

Standing alone inside the White Palace, Ling Shu (Kong) chuckled softly, "This time, it's truly 'I can't rest yet'."

"Fine..."

He twirled his travel sword, saying, "Isn't it said that 'adventurers must be fully prepared'?"

"If I work harder now, I'll be able to face the threat of the 'Secret Realm Scorpion' in my current 'peak form'."

No doubt about it...

"rush!!!"

Chapter 136 Should we be completely honest with each other...?

People often say, "This is a very common thing."

such as--

Those villages, located in remote areas, that originally had a happy and peaceful atmosphere and whose daily lives were uneventful, were suddenly destroyed by monsters.

For example—

A young man determined to make a name for himself, having just become an adventurer, died during his first mission due to his own carelessness and lack of experience.

……

Yes, these things are quite common in this fantastical world that is currently in the age of divine intervention.

And today...

It was exactly 50 days after Ling Shu transmigrated.

Ying also encountered something that seemed 'common' to the indigenous people.

******

Three days ago, in order to cooperate with Ling Shu's (Kong's) demanding schedule, Ying met up with Riveria and the others at the 'Twilight Mansion' alone, only briefly explaining that 'Kong had other things to attend to temporarily'...

After that, she temporarily joined the 'Elf Mage Squad' led by Riveria and left Orario with them.

By now, the group had already entered the territory of the Kingdom of Lachia... that is, the territory of the 'Ares Familia', and was currently moving at its border.

Honestly, if she had a choice, Rivera really wouldn't want to go down this path.

No, she had absolutely no intention of aligning herself with the Kingdom of Lachia.

This is truly a 'bad omen'.

In the past, that foolish war god who "only cares about fighting and doesn't care about winning or losing," whose brain is probably full of muscles, has sent large-scale armies to attack Orario quite often.

Every time the other side makes such a fuss, it is always the large factions like the Freya Familia and the Loki Familia that suffer the most.

Especially their own family (Loki's Familia), really... the face the crew least wants to see is Ares's stupid, idiotic face.

The latter truly lives up to the saying: He's quite handsome, but unfortunately, he's an idiot (beep~).

Of course, saying that their side suffered heavy losses really just meant that the group members felt that dealing with the Kingdom of Lachia was 'too troublesome'.

Imagine, once the enemy army attacks, not only will our side have to protect Orario from being captured, but we also have to follow the mandatory orders issued by the 'Guild' headquarters to avoid causing too many casualties. We'll even have to find ways to hold back when casting a spell, for fear of accidentally hurting those idiots...

Isn't it annoying?

Riveria knew that the 'guild' had its own internal considerations. If she relaxed her mind, she could barely understand their intentions in making such a decision.

After all, although Orario is known as the 'center of the world', it is not 'isolated from the world' and ultimately has to trade with nobles, merchants and other groups outside.

In this situation, if someone were to accidentally commit an act of 'Overlord' in the army of the Kingdom of Lachia, the entire continent's economic structure might collapse.

Then the guild should also stop doing magic stone business.

This will also have a huge impact on the existing adventurer system.

Of course, Riveria herself was a very cultured elven royal. She was not particularly murderous or violent, and she never thought of changing her title of "Nine Demon Princesses" to "Nine Demon Kings".

But I still find it really annoying.

Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done...

Orario, a labyrinthine city sealed with 'underground cities', is located in the far west of the continent.

The 'Great Tree Sea' is located in the far south.

Between the two places, apart from the territory of the Kingdom of Lachia, there is only the 'Kaios Desert' located in the southeast of Orario.

The elves are a 'noble' race, to varying degrees, with a penchant for cleanliness.

This obsessive-compulsive disorder is not only reflected in 'disliking skin contact with people of other races', but also in a very simple way... an exceptionally, exceptionally cleanliness.

So, to send the elves to the desert... I'm sorry, Kotoval!

Furthermore, the 'Kaios Desert' is a dangerous place that tests survival skills. Our side is in a hurry to get on the road, so why would we go into such a terrible place?

In summary……

"Sigh, I really hope we can see one or two villages today."

The one who spoke up in the group was an elven girl named Anju, "Even finding a clean pool of water would be nice... I really want to take a bath."

Her current grace level is Lv.2, which she recently achieved. Because she missed the last divine assembly, she has not yet been granted a title by the gods.

"Speaking of which, Miss Ying, we are really grateful that you agreed to travel with us."

Another elven girl walking beside the silly sister said in a very grateful tone, "Thanks to you for providing shelter (the dark gold hut), we haven't had to camp along the way."

"You don't need to bring a tent either."

"You only need to bring the minimum amount of luggage."

"Because Mr. Kong delivers ingredients every day."

"Miss Ying's cooking is also super delicious."

"I imagine Miss Tiona must be drooling with envy."

"It's a pity she can't come with us this time, hehe."

……

The chatter of discussion rose and fell in the surrounding area.

However, every single girl born into the Elven race was not only beautiful, but also had a very pleasant voice.

In addition, they were very friendly to Ying, so it wasn't noisy at all.

These elven girls are all adventurers at levels Lv.2 and Lv.3.

And there aren't many Lv.3s, only two.

In terms of combat power, she is definitely far inferior to Lv.4 Alicia and Lefia, who is known as "a 50/50 match for Orario".

However, if they were to stand inside Riveria's magic circle... well, with the two complementing each other, even a Lv.7 would probably have to think twice.

In fact, in the original future trajectory of the current world, it was this very elven mage force that repelled the strange woman 'Rives' who almost killed Finn.

It's worth noting that the latter had consumed countless magic stones back then, and even when Ais at level 6 activated 'Wind Spirit Rush', she was repeatedly defeated by the opponent.

This shows just how overpowered Riveria's 'Fairy King's Seal' skill is.

at the moment……

"You know perfectly well that Ying has helped us so much, yet you're still complaining."

The vice-commander, who held immense prestige within the Loki Familia, turned his head to the side and said, "Anju, your desires are far too many."

"Ah, I'm sorry, Lady Riveria."

The elven girl seemed quite reserved. "I didn't mean to complain about Miss Ying, it's just... I haven't bathed for several days, and I'm a little..."

An odd smell?

The shy girl, her lips slightly pursed, didn't want to say that word directly.

Look at her pointed ears, twitching back and forth, they're completely red.

Of course, if it were adventurers of other races... even the accompanying Ying didn't notice any strange smell on these fellow travelers.

Instead, it has a subtle, grassy fragrance.

I suppose this is a flaw that only someone who is 'particularly clean' would notice.

So……

"It's actually not difficult to take a bath if you want to."

Ying interjected.

Suddenly...

Really?

Not to mention those elf girls, even Riveria... the 'mama-san' who had just been lecturing them, subconsciously shifted her gaze over.

Undoubtedly, as a seasoned adventurer at level 6, while she possesses great endurance, if she truly had the opportunity to keep her body clean, she definitely would…

"If I still can't see the village today, I'll just build a bathhouse in the 'hut' tonight."

Ying smiled and said, "When the time comes, please ask Barbara and Amber to come and help out. Maybe we can even soak in the hot springs."

She had barely finished speaking...

Ohhhhh~

The girls cheered.

Especially Anqiu, who was the first to complain... She grabbed Ying's hands, her eyes sparkling, her expression full of admiration.

Seeing her like this, if Rivera hadn't frowned beside her, she probably would have wanted to hug her and rub her face against her.

The Elven race's obsession with cleanliness?

What is that?

In short, right now...

“Miss Ying, you are really amazing… no, you are ‘great’.”
