I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

“…Tang tang tang!” (Hot hot hot!) His reaction made Keqing panic.

"Su Chen! What's going on!" Keqing put down the medicine bowl anxiously and asked worriedly.

“Medicine…No., No. Tang…and Tang and crying…” (Medicine…is good, so hot…and so hot and bitter…) Su Chen’s words were a little stuttered due to paralysis.

Keqing breathed a sigh of relief: "Tang...? You mean hot? As for bitterness - no matter how bitter it is, you have to drink it, as 'good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease.'" Her face looked a little rosy in the evening light, as if it would fade with the slightest touch.

"If you feel it's hot... I'll blow on it for you... and it will be fine." Although she said this, she was still a little shy to feed and blow medicine on a boy.

Considering Su Chen's health, Keqing scooped up another small spoonful of medicine and blew it gently for him. Her voice was firm: "Okay, drink it quickly."

Su Chen sensed the toughness in Keqing's words, but seeing her red cheeks, it was obvious that she was panicking. He couldn't bear to embarrass Keqing, so he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and slowly swallowed the medicine.

Su Chen lay on the bed, feeling every moment Keqing gently fed him medicine. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window, adding a touch of warmth to the room.

[Hmm…what is this feeling…my heart is beating so hard…] His heart was pounding and an unprecedented warm feeling filled his chest.

Keqing's hands were shaking slightly as she scooped up another small spoonful of medicine and blew it carefully to cool it down for Su Chen. Seeing her actions, Su Chen's heart was filled with warmth and gratitude.

"Hmm..." Su Chen felt Keqing's care and concern poured into the medicine, and an inexplicable joy surged in his heart.

Every sip of the medicinal soup seemed to untie the constraints in his body, making him feel unprecedented comfort.

Keqing muttered softly, "Another gulp..." Her voice revealed a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

She continued to scoop up the medicine soup, repeating this action over and over again, being very careful every time, as if afraid to disturb Su Chen's rest.

Su Chen enjoyed this meticulous care, his eyes slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile. When he finished a bowl of medicine, he watched Keqing's hurried departure, his heart filled with gratitude.

Not only does he feel better now, he also made an unexpected discovery - the medicine made from Atractylodes macrocephala is so sweet.

As night fell, Keqing was reading a scroll attentively behind the desk, holding a wolf-hair brush in her hand, her face full of contemplation. Opposite her, Su Chen gazed at her gently, his heart full of admiration and respect.

[Sure enough, Aqing is still so cute when she works hard. ]

Keqing seemed to notice Su Chen's gaze. She raised her head slightly and asked with concern, "Su Chen, are you feeling better?"

"Ah, ah... yes, thanks to you, I feel much better." Although Su Chen's voice was still a little weak, it was able to express his gratitude.

Keqing smiled, and then returned to her scroll with concentration. Soon, she pulled out a piece of white paper and began to write and draw on it.

"Ah...Keqing, what are you writing?" Su Chen asked curiously.

"What to write...ah, before you ask this, can I ask you a question first?" Keqing's voice was serious.

"of course can."

"Then... based on your travels in the past few days, what do you think about the future of Liyue?" Keqing put down the pen in her hand, her eyes serious and passionate.

Su Chen thought for a moment and replied, "How should I put it? In my personal impression, this is a country with a strong belief in gods. The people of this country admire and yearn for the God of Rock even more than the God of Wind in Mondstadt."

Keqing nodded slightly: "You are right. I am also very proud of this." But there was a hint of worry in her voice. She stood up and looked out the window. Her voice was low and thoughtful: "Everyone in Liyue regards the Emperor as their only belief. They follow his footsteps and spend their entire lives following him. But long before that, I thought about it and said it..."

Her eyes were blurry, as if she had traveled through time and space. "The Emperor has protected Liyue for a thousand years, but will it be the same for the next thousand years, ten thousand years, or a hundred thousand years? Now that the Emperor is gone... but everyone in Liyue is still unwilling to open up their own path as humans. After the Emperor leaves... in the end, only humans will be left in Liyue Harbor. Can it continue to prosper?"

In front of Su Chen, Keqing's eyes revealed real worry. Her heart was full of thoughts and worries about the future. She didn't know what the future of Liyue would be like.

.….….….….….….….….….….….….…

PS: More updates! Three updates today! Do you think the writing is more delicate? This is the light novel style that Xiaoxiao practiced for two and a half months.

This way of writing is more difficult than directly writing a beginner's article, and it takes longer time. It used to take only an hour to write a chapter, but now it takes up to two hours to write a chapter plus think about it. I only hope that everyone can spend a small dime to subscribe to a chapter.

Chapter 204: A journey of pure love with Keqing

Su Chen was a little surprised by Keqing's confession, but he quickly adjusted his mood and responded with a smile: "But time has proven that as a Liyue person, following the Geo King is the right thing to do."

But he secretly complained in his heart: his heart was filled with a hint of mischievous pleasure.

Then, Su Chen added: "Just like you now, don't you still miss the Rock King Emperor?" As he said that, his eyes deliberately glanced at the Rock King Emperor doll in the cupboard. This small action made Keqing's cheeks blush immediately.

Keqing defended herself somewhat awkwardly: "This, this is for self-reflection! Because of the greatness of the Emperor... I have only understood a little bit of it..." Her voice was a little shy, but revealed her deep nostalgia for the past.

"Isn't this good enough?" Su Chen asked softly, his voice full of encouragement and support.

"...Eh?" Keqing raised her head. Although it was night, she seemed to be able to see a ray of bright morning sun coming soon in Su Chen's smile.

"I guess the reason you ask me these questions is related to what you just did." Su Chen raised a finger with difficulty and pointed at the white paper on the table.

"Hmm, hmm..." Keqing replied softly. She picked up a piece of white paper, on which was drawn a diagram of a new type of building whose name was unknown. Every stroke and every line on the drawing revealed her thoughts and plans for the future of Liyue.

Keqing held the paper in her hand but did not hand it to Su Chen. Instead, she cast an inquiring look and asked, "Su Chen, if it were you, and you wanted to make some reforms in Liyue Harbor, where the idea of ​​relying on gods is deeply rooted, what would you do... No, it would be better to say, what concept would you use to implement your plan?"

"Reform? Ha... Actually, it's better to say innovation." A faint smile appeared on Su Chen's face. He continued: "Since this has become Liyue's unique customs and practices, there is no need to make any changes. If it were me, all I would have to do is..."

As he spoke, he gently raised his chin, his eyes flickering with thought. After a moment, he answered under Keqing's expectant gaze: "Inwardly, the common belief in God is the foundation, and in the outside world, people-oriented innovation is the supplement."

"...So that's what you think? Should I say it's worthy of you? Su Chen from an outsider..." After hearing Su Chen's answer, Keqing fell into deep thought. Her eyes revealed a hint of deep understanding. Her eyes flashed with her growing curiosity and admiration for Su Chen.

However, at this moment, Keqing suddenly felt dizzy, and hazy memories emerged in her mind one after another, as if her own figure was wandering in them, but every time she tried to explore deeper, she felt an indescribable headache.

She covered her head and frowned in pain.

"Keqing, what's wrong with you? Are you okay..." Seeing this, Su Chen asked hurriedly with concern.

"No, no need... I just thought of something, it's okay, it's okay..." Keqing tried to calm herself down. She sat behind the desk, one hand on her forehead, and subconsciously picked up a pen with the other hand.

Under Su Chen's concerned gaze, she began to scribble on the white paper, as if she was looking for relief in this immersive behavior.

"Keqing..." Su Chen's voice was full of powerlessness and anxiety. Keqing in his eyes was so close yet so far away, as if he could touch her face as long as he stretched out his hand, but reality cruelly rejected this desire. His fingers trembled, trying hard to cross this invisible barrier, but it was in vain.

In this heavy silence, Su Chen gritted his teeth, his body began to tremble involuntarily, and the struggle and powerlessness in his heart surged like a tide. His eyes revealed deep reluctance and frustration, but gradually, he relaxed his clenched fists, leaned back in his chair helplessly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

His eyes fell on Keqing again. She slept so peacefully, her purple hair gently falling, covering her face. Her breathing was soft and calm, like a newly blooming orchid, swaying gently in this quiet space. Su Chen felt an inexplicable tenderness and pampering in his heart.

"Ah Qing, Ah Qing, what should I do?" Su Chen whispered to himself, his voice full of helplessness and pity. His eyes gazed tenderly at the sleeping girl, as if at this moment, the whole world had stopped.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. In the corner of the room, the last ray of light from a candle gradually faded away, and the whole room was swallowed by the darkness, leaving only a few faint sounds.

Su Chen's words echoed softly in this silent space: "Aqing, it turns out that only after personal contact can I truly understand your wish. It is more profound than I thought."

"But don't worry, your dream will come true." He continued softly, "Before that, let me accompany you, until one day... you are willing to greet the sunrise with me."

The world outside is still changing. No matter what happens today, tomorrow will still come. Su Chen knows that no matter what color the sun and moon are today, they will still shine on the world tomorrow.

So he was willing to wait, no matter how long it took.

Last night, the drizzle and wind rushed on. Today, the sky is clear and cloudless.

Even though the blue sky is lightly covered by a light mist, the sun's rays still shine through the mist, sprinkling a little warmth and bringing a hazy beauty.

May is a wet season with frequent rains. But it was precisely because of the light rain last night that Su Chen did not feel tired today even after walking for a long time in the suburbs.

His steps became lighter as the ground gradually softened, and even his mood seemed to brighten.

As the fresh scent of flowers and plants lingered in the air, Su Chen took a deep breath, feeling this real and rich fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.

His steps unconsciously became lighter as he took in the myriad of views around him, and his golden eyes reflected a rich array of colors. When he finally stopped, a hint of emotion flashed across his eyes: "Sure enough, it was the right decision to come here. I've never seen such a charming view before."

Paimon, his friend who had been flying beside him, seemed a little confused. She scratched her head and asked in confusion: "When we were in Mondstadt before, wasn't the scenery we saw beautiful? I remember that time..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Su Chen hurriedly interrupted Paimon. He could not recall any memory of Mondstadt. In order to change the subject, he quickened his pace and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Our current mission is to find Keqing."

Seeing Su Chen suddenly become serious, Paimeng couldn't help but complain: "You still have the mood to admire the scenery here..." After saying that, she still loyally followed Su Chen and went deep into the wild together.

Early this morning, they arrived at the meeting place agreed with Keqing, but no matter how long they waited, Keqing did not show up. They had no choice but to go to Keqing's companion Ningguang to ask about the situation.

Ningguang's reaction at the time seemed nonchalant: "Keqing is not here today? Oh, well... well, you guys go look for her in the wild. The more desolate and remote the place, the better. She sometimes likes to go to those places." After saying that, Ningguang didn't seem to want to continue the topic and immediately left.

Knowing that Keqing and Ningguang did not seem to have a very close relationship, Su Chen had no choice but to take Paimon with him and start searching for Keqing in the suburbs of Liyue.

After a morning of hard searching, the sun was already high in the sky, scorching and merciless. The refreshing water vapor that had previously refreshed my mind now became sticky and heavy.

Paimeng was so tired that she could hardly fly. She hung her head, her hands drooping weakly, and shouted dejectedly to Su Chen who was still moving forward: "Su Chen, let's... let's take a break... I'm exhausted..."

Su Chen felt that he was also extremely hungry, and a feeling of weakness spread to his limbs. "That's right... We have been looking for so long, and now we are hungry and thirsty..." His voice revealed fatigue. Slowly, he leaned against a tall tree beside him, panting, his eyes drifting away inadvertently. However, the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, filled with surprise and excitement.

"Wait, Paimon! Look over there!" Su Chen pointed eagerly to the right in front.

Paimon was confused at first, "What... If it's a prank, I won't..."

"It's a river!" Su Chen interrupted her.

"River?!" Paimon immediately became excited and quickly flew in the direction the boy pointed. A winding river was reflected in her eyes, and the river water sparkled in the sun, as if it was inlaid with countless sparkling gems.

"Paimon, you know what this means!" Su Chen's voice was full of excitement.

"Yeah!" Paimon nodded repeatedly.

They both blurted out almost at the same time: "There's fish to eat!"

After saying that, Su Chen immediately ran to the river. When he ran to the river, he saw several fish swimming freely in the water. They swung their tails happily under the sunshine, and ripples appeared on the water surface, as if the whole river was dancing with the sunshine.

……

Su Chen planned while watching the fish in the river, and Paimeng became excited. Su Chen ordered decisively: "Paimeng, go find some strong branches to make a fishing rod, and I'll find some grass lines to make a fishing line!" His voice was full of determination.

"Got it!" Paimon responded energetically, raised his little hand as if saluting the army, then jumped to the tree next to him and began to carefully select branches.

Su Chen quickly found some strong grass fibers by the river, carefully woven them together, and then tightened and knotted them to make sure they were strong enough. A sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself:

Just as he turned his head, a black shadow suddenly attacked his face. "Puff!" Su Chen felt a pain on his face and fell to the ground, supporting himself with his right hand and covering his head with his left hand. When his vision gradually became clear, he saw Paimon holding a big wooden stick in his hand with a panicked expression on his face.

"Su Chen, you...why didn't you faint!" Paimeng's voice was filled with fear and confusion.

"You're so good, Paimon... Why did you suddenly attack me?" Su Chen rubbed his head, with a reproachful tone.

Paimeng hesitated, his voice getting lower and lower, and finally he didn't dare to look Su Chen in the face, muttering softly: "I... I just wanted to make a joke..."

Su Chen approached slowly, his eyes revealing his intention to take revenge. Paimeng held the stick tightly, his hands trembling slightly, and said calmly, "Su Chen, you have teased me before! Let me go this time today, I promise not to do it again!"

"You bastard Paimon, let's see where you can escape to!" Su Chen gathered the element of wind in his hands, ready to attack Paimon.

"Ahhh! I, Paimeng, am going to fight with you, you jerk Su Chen!" Paimeng fought back angrily, twisting her huge, perky butt.

While they were arguing, there was a loud "bang!" and Paimon slammed into Su Chen with all his strength, and was wrapped by the wind element at the same time.

"Wow!" they exclaimed together, and with a dull sound of falling into the water, they both fell into the river, splashing water.

……

Chapter 205 Keqing: Let Me Feed You

"Ah, it hurts!" Su Chen felt severe pain as the water splashed. Fortunately, the river was not deep, and when his body sank into the water, the water level only reached his knees.

His clothes were completely soaked, and he shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of the water drops on his face. When he was about to stand up, he caught a glimpse of Paimon floating on the water with a dazed look on his face, and there seemed to be little stars in his eyes.

"I actually... I actually got Paimeng..." Su Chen was furious. He stretched out his right hand to pick up Paimeng and bring him to the shore for "education". But at that moment, he suddenly felt dizzy, his legs and feet became weak, and the strength in his hands disappeared instantly.

"What happened..." Su Chen's voice trembled, his vision gradually became blurred, and he began to lose control. The "sizzling" sound coming from afar was no longer important to him at this moment.

Just as his consciousness was about to fade away, he seemed to see a familiar purple figure running towards him in a hurry, and seemed to be shouting something. "Su Chen! Paimeng!" The voice was vague and far away.

In a blurred state of consciousness, Su Chen felt himself sinking completely into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen felt a warmth enveloping him, and he opened his eyes dazedly. He found himself lying in a small clearing surrounded by tall trees, with his back against a tree, and Paimon lying quietly beside him, seemingly sleeping. Not far away, a bonfire was slowly burning, emitting warm light and heat.

On the other side of the campfire, the purple-haired girl was leaning on her sword, her eyes firmly scanning the surroundings, as if she was on guard against something. Her posture was firm and alert, as if she was ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Su Chen rubbed his temple bitterly, trying to suppress the numbness in his mind. He murmured weakly: "Keqing...is that you?"

Hearing Su Chen's voice, Keqing hurriedly put away her sword, quickened her pace towards him, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of concern: "Su Chen, you finally woke up! How do you feel? Are you okay? Are you feeling any discomfort?" Her voice was full of anxiety.

Su Chen nodded slowly, his eyes wandering around with a hint of confusion: "I feel much better, but... where are we?"

Keqing sighed softly and explained, "This is a secluded place on the outskirts of Liyue. I originally came here to practice today." There was a hint of relief in her voice.

A flash of understanding flashed through Su Chen's mind, and he responded softly: "I see. I didn't see you this morning, and I was a little worried."

Hearing the word 'worry', Keqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart warmed. Her expression softened, and she replied with a smile: "As my assistant, when I'm not around, you should take on the responsibility of Liyue and continue our work."

"This... I..." Su Chen was about to bow his head and blame himself, but he felt his shoulder being gently pressed. He looked up and saw Keqing's face looking particularly gentle under the reflection of the bonfire. She coughed twice and said shyly: "However, there is nothing special today. Since you are already here, then practice with me."

After saying this, Keqing nodded confidently, seeming satisfied with the excuse she had made up on the spur of the moment. She gently lifted Su Chen up, half guiding and half pushing him, and led him towards the bonfire.

"Hey, Keqing, I've already dried it. There's really no need." Su Chen tried to stop him softly, but he saw Keqing's ponytail seemed to be dancing gently in the air, as if expressing her disagreement with his words.

Keqing walked around the campfire lightly and gracefully took a golden roasted fish from the fire. She blew it carefully, gently reached out to Su Chen, and handed the roasted fish to his mouth. "I know you are afraid of heat. Don't worry, I have cooled it down. It won't burn you."

Su Chen's eyes were full of helplessness and tenderness. He joked, "Keqing, I am full of energy now."

Hearing this, Keqing was stunned for a moment, and an embarrassed blush appeared on her face.

But then she seemed to have thought of something, and still insisted on passing the grilled fish to Su Chen's mouth, with a slight smile on her face: "Anyway, to make amends, let me feed you. It should taste good."
