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

He tried to make his voice sound relaxed and casual: "You know, I went to deal with some minor troubles left by the Whirlpool Demon yesterday. Maybe I exerted too much effort, so I look a little haggard. Walnut, you don't have to worry about me."

After hearing this, Hu Tao showed a relieved smile on her face.

She obviously believed Su Chen's explanation and did not ask any further questions.

Then, she put on a business look and said to Su Chen half-jokingly and half-seriously: "In this case, you have to help me promote the packages at Wangshengtang. Our service is first-class and we guarantee that our customers will be satisfied."

After saying this, Kurumi showed her signature bright smile on her face, then turned lightly and walked towards the Hall of Rebirth, leaving behind the sound of brisk footsteps along the way.

With a trace of uneasiness in his heart, Su Chen slowly slowed down his pace, watching Hu Tao's back gradually going away.

He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, silently hoping that Walnut would heed his advice and stop running around for Wangshengtang's exotic goods.

Just when he felt a little relaxed, an unusual feeling came over him, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him closely in the dark.

Su Chen immediately became alert, but pretended everything was normal and continued walking on the busy street.

When he came to a secluded corner, he turned quickly, trying to catch the peeper hiding in the dark.

"Is there really someone following me secretly?"

Su Chen asked himself this question in his heart, determined to uncover the true identity of this mysterious stalker.

Looking back, he saw a woman in a feathery dress as light as clouds following behind him, with a dazed look on her face.

Her appearance was like a fairy descending from the sky. Her silver hair glowed softly in the night, with a red rope wrapped around the end, adding a touch of mystery and elegance.

She is Shen He, the peerless beauty who occupies a place in Su Chen's heart.

The eyes that were originally as calm as water were now mixed with complex emotions: anxiety, desire, excitement, stubbornness, and that indescribable affection.

Su Chen spoke softly, with a mixture of surprise and a hint of joking: "Shen He, it's you. I was wondering who dared to do something bad to me."

Shen He replied nervously, "Yes, my master told me that the magic circle she set up in Liyue Harbor captured your aura. I followed the guidance of the magic circle and found you."

There was a hint of shyness in her words, and when she mentioned the possible danger, her eyes flickered unconsciously. Although she tried her best to hide it, Su Chen still noticed her uneasiness.

"Shen He, your aura seems a little different, is everything okay?"

Su Chen asked with concern.

At that moment, the barrier in Shen He's heart seemed to be gently touched by his concern, and her inner emotions became difficult to suppress.

Why does he always treat her so gently? How can she not be moved by such a Su Chen?

Under an irresistible impulse, Shen He stretched out her hands and hugged Su Chen tightly. Her arms were like thin vines entwined around a tree. Her cheek was close to his collarbone, greedily sucking in the familiar and warm breath, as if at this moment, she could get all the comfort in the world.

"Husband, I encountered some difficulties in my practice. Can you give me some guidance?"

Shen He spoke shyly, his eyes full of help.

"Of course, I'm willing to help. But... can you let go of my hand first? This isn't appropriate in a public setting."

There was helplessness in Su Chen's voice. He couldn't ignore Shen He's request, but her intimate gesture did make him feel a little embarrassed on the street.

After all, although he is a pervert, he is not a social bully, and Su Chen does not want Shen He to show such an intimate state in front of many people.

Su Chen had mentioned to Shen He many times, asking her not to show her shy side in front of strangers, and that she could only maintain her previous image of an ice beauty who kept people at a distance.

Chapter 367: The Battle for the Women of Liyue Begins (Sea Lantern Festival Special 13)

"Do we need to worry about other people's opinions about our relationship? Besides, being close to you makes me feel safe and secure, which helps me control my inner fluctuations."

Shen He's tone was firm, as if the close relationship between her and Su Chen was natural and right.

Su Chen couldn't laugh or cry.

He was used to Shen He's direct and sincere approach, but such close contact in public did make him feel extremely embarrassed.

The looks from the passers-by around had changed from curiosity to surprise.

"Shen He, I understand how you feel, but such an intimate behavior on such a busy street is really inappropriate."

Su Chen tried to persuade Shen He gently, hoping to make him aware of the current situation.

"Ganyu? Why are you here?"

"Senior Sister Ganyu? Why are you here?"

Su Chen turned around and searched the crowd, and finally found Ganyu leading a Thousand Rocks Army walking towards them with firm steps.

There was wariness and displeasure in her eyes, even a hint of anger.

As a divine beast that has lived in the fairyland for a long time, Ganyu has always been able to hide her feelings for Su Chen. However, when she saw Shen He hugging Su Chen tightly, the anger in her heart seemed difficult to suppress.

Su Chen...how could he be hers?

"I got the news that you and Walnut had caused quite a stir on the street, so I came to see what happened. What on earth happened?"

"Actually, this is what happened..."

Su Chen explained to them the whole story in detail.

As for why there was a report of "Su Chen and Hu Tao fighting each other", it might be because their meeting gifts were too special.

When they meet each other, they throw the other person over their shoulders. This unique way of greeting is probably something only they can do, there is no other way.

"Although this is a misunderstanding, we still have to go through the procedures. Su Chen, you have to come with me. We need you to make a simple record and sign a statement."

Ganyu stood still, her posture straight, staring at Su Chen with sharp eyes.

Her position cleverly separated Su Chen and Shen He, making herself the closest person to him.

As she moved, a fresh fragrance gradually spread and slowly penetrated into Su Chen's nose, making his heart slightly moved.

Oh my god, this distance is too close. This is a hotbed for misunderstandings. The eyes of passers-by around seem to be sharper!

Although Su Chen's heart was racing with excitement, he could only manage an awkward yet polite smile.

"That won't work. Su Chen has already agreed to go back to the mountain with me to practice."

Su Chen looked confused. When did he agree to go to the mountains to practice? Just as he was about to explain, Gan Yu spoke first.

"Junior Sister Shen He, we are now in Liyue Harbor. According to the rules here, Su Chen needs to go with me."

Shen He and Gan Yu started a tit-for-tat contest. Neither of them gave in on the issue of Su Chen and they were unable to reach a consensus.

Su Chen himself was helpless and could only watch the two ladies approach step by step. His left hand was tightly held by Gan Yu, and his right hand was tightly surrounded by Shen He at some point.

"Ding! Achievement [Holding Girls Left and Right] Affection Value +20!"

In this unexpected confrontation, although Shen He and Gan Yu each held their own opinions, their goals were surprisingly the same - they both wanted to take Su Chen for themselves.

Shen He was inclined to take direct action, thinking that since Su Chen had already promised her, she should immediately take him to live in seclusion in the mountains to avoid interference from the outside world.

Ganyu, on the other hand, hopes to use strategy to lure Su Chen to Yuehai Pavilion, and cleverly make him sign a series of documents, including a marriage contract, in order to ensure that Su Chen becomes hers.

The two ladies' plans are each ingenious and have their own merits.

However, fate seemed to like playing jokes on them, and their plans came to a standstill due to an unexpected encounter. As the center of the dispute, Su Chen could only be caught between them, feeling miserable.

As the saying goes, time waits for no one. Before their dispute came to an end, the situation changed again.

"You two, it is really indecent to argue like this in the street... Moreover, this behavior is undoubtedly a great trouble for Su Chen."

The sudden sound added a layer of silence to the already tense atmosphere.

Turning around, I saw a person wearing an elegant purple dress, with purple hair lightly draped over her shoulders, a unique headdress, and conspicuous cat ears. It was Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, the [Yuheng Star] known for her wisdom and decisiveness.

“Ah? It’s Keqing…”

"Oh, it's Keqing. You're here too?"

"Actually, I have an urgent matter that I would like to ask for your help."

Keqing calmly adjusted the hem of her clothes, with an unquestionable aura.

She knows how to control the situation with her own majesty, and her leadership demeanor comes out naturally.

In fact, Keqing arrived earlier than Ganyu, but seeing Ganyu getting emotional because Shen He hugged Su Chen tightly, she chose to wait and see for the time being.

Keqing's intuition told her that Ganyu's arrival was no accident, so she decided to hide her whereabouts temporarily and observe how the situation develops.

Not long after, the sound of Ganyu and Shenhe arguing reached her ears, and Keqing realized that it was time to intervene.

"I was the first one to find Su Chen, so it stands to reason that I should be the first to make the request."

"But we all need Su Chen's help, shouldn't we decide based on whose need is more urgent?"

"Then Keqing, what urgent matter do you have with Su Chen?"

"Yes, it's very urgent. There was a collapse accident in the Black Rock Mine and workers are trapped. We are short of manpower and need Su Chen's help."

"I'll leave immediately."

"But... we haven't finished taking notes yet..."

"Ganyu, human life is the most important thing. Other things can be put aside for the time being. I will not disappear."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he quickly got rid of the encirclement of Shen He and Gan Yu, and left the scene quickly while they were still in shock.

What he didn't see was that Keqing watched his back, a complex smile slowly forming at the corner of her mouth, her eyes flashing with anticipation, excitement, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

Although the meeting situation was not what Keqing expected, she remained calm and composed in dealing with the unexpected situation, fully demonstrating her strategy and wisdom as the [Yuheng Star].

Once leaving Liyue Harbor, as the head of the General Affairs Department, Keqing has countless ways to make Su Chen disappear quietly.

If Su Chen could wisely choose to marry her, that would naturally be the best outcome;

If he refused, Keqing would have no choice but to let Su Chen spend the rest of his life in a dark cell.

Keqing said to herself that she didn't want Su Chen to end up like this.

But just as the plan started, Su Chen was blocked by the oncoming Qianyan Army, and Keqing's smile froze instantly.

Why did the Thousand Rock Army appear?

This was a scene beyond her expectations.

According to her plan, Su Chen should follow her obediently now, and then she would create opportunities and seize Su Chen...

Chapter 368 The Night Attack of the Four Liyue Ladies?! (Sea Lantern Festival Special 14)

Just when she thought she had successfully controlled the situation and the plan was arranged properly, a sudden change caught her off guard.

After the captain of the Qianyan Army stopped Su Chen, he walked directly towards Keqing, and the surrounding Qianyan Army also began to surround them.

This action made Keqing very unhappy.

"What does this mean? You want to rebel?"

Keqing's voice was filled with anger.

"Sir, you misunderstood. We are here on the orders of Lord Ningguang to invite you all to the Jade Pavilion. Lord Ningguang also specifically instructed us to provide protection along the way."

The captain explained, an apology in his voice.

……

The scene changes to the Qun Yu Pavilion, where Ningguang is receiving intelligence.

"Lady Ningguang, it is reported that Shen He and Gan Yu have met Su Chen. They are currently arguing with each other and seem to be close to Su Chen. Lady [Yuhengxing] Keqing is also present."

“What were they arguing about?” Ningguang asked.

"It seems to be related to Su Chen's closeness. Lady Keqing is also present."

"Send someone to bring them all here. If no action is taken, I'm afraid Su Chen will be taken away by someone with ulterior motives. At the same time, investigate the details of their dispute in detail. I need to know as soon as possible."

Soon after, Su Chen and others were led to the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Ningguang greeted them with her usual elegance and composure. The dark blue cheongsam highlighted her gentleness and confidence. As a [Tianquan], her every move revealed a charm that could not be ignored.

……

In the spacious hall of the Qun Yu Pavilion, the atmosphere seemed a little tense for a moment.
