In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

She stammered for almost half an hour, during which time she was constantly being lectured by the other party.

I moved around a bit; squatting for so long was really uncomfortable, and what was even more uncomfortable were those unpleasant drinks.

She didn't know why, but as she clutched her chest, she wondered why her heart had been beating so fast during that situation.

Xu Guang pulled Ying up and rubbed his body: "I promised Jiu Tiao I wouldn't talk nonsense, and you saw it yourself, so don't blame me."

Ying rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, Xu Guang put one hand on her waist and used the other hand to loosen the rope.

"Okay, don't be upset. You helped me earlier, now I'll help you."

"Wait... villain... no... ah~"

And so, a beautiful day came to an end.

The divine child stared at the illusory body, studying it.

"What incredible power."

As they watched, when the time was almost up, the shadow's phantom began to slowly solidify its power.

Then a flush rose to the other person's face.

"Huhuhu..."

Ying was panting heavily.

It's hard now, it's hard now, my fist is hard!

The Divine Child, observing the change in the Shadow's expression, asked, "What's wrong? Did you suffer a loss at the hands of that person?"

Ying realized that although this world did not leave any lingering feelings, it could not be eliminated mentally.

Just now over there, Xu Guang said he wanted to help her, but every time he got to the brink, he would stop and then chat with her as if nothing had happened, and he did the same thing until she was about to leave.

This made her feel uneasy, and now she urgently needed to finish what she hadn't done.

So he gave a perfunctory reply and left.

The divine child looked at the shadow, raised an eyebrow slightly, then shook his head without saying anything.

She said she didn't understand.

Back in the Pure Land of One Heart, Ying looked around. There was no way anyone could have been there, and if she wanted to, it was almost impossible for anyone to come in. But she did it anyway.

It's hard to say whether he felt a little guilty.

After confirming repeatedly, Ying finally felt relieved, then lifted it up and touched it.

"hiss……"

This was the first time she'd ever felt like this, and she felt a little...excited?

Illusion.

But it's okay, we've come this far.

So he closed his eyes and rubbed his fingers together.

……

"I really don't want to take a boat."

Qi Liangliang felt a little dizzy, and even her tail seemed listless. It wasn't that she was seasick, but cats don't like water, and the boat was surrounded by water and constantly rocking, which made her feel unwell.

He rubbed his ears, opened his eyes, and looked at the familiar scene around him.

"Eh, am I back at Komahaya?"

Chapter Sixteen: I Found a Kitty

I sniffed around and the smell was strange.

Qi Liangliang looked around for a moment, then tentatively stepped out of the room.

Everything outside was a familiar scene, yet it made her extremely uneasy.

This is an animal's instinct.

Even a cat demon is still a cat.

As a cat with two tails, Kira felt the danger keenly and instinctively shrank back, her ears drooping.

"What should I do? What should I do? Could it be that we've encountered a sea monster? Waaaaah, I don't want to die..."

stomping on...

Footsteps came from the same spot.

This environment felt very out of place, which further amplified Qi Liangliang's unease.

Looking around, Miss Cat picked up a stick, mustered her courage, and stood up.

She's a monster!

How can you be scared by something like this!

I took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and there was nothing there.

"That's strange, wasn't there a sound just now?"

Adhering to the principle that since she was already there, Qi Liangliang decided to take the initiative.

I walked out of the Komahaya area and looked at the pedestrians on the street.

Some of them were people I knew, while others were just vaguely familiar faces.

Logically speaking, seeing someone familiar should make one feel more relaxed, but after Qi Liangliang walked over, the person showed no expression.

I tried pulling it, but there was still no response.

It's like a puppet show.

"Let me tell you, I'm really powerful, don't try to scare me!"

With her hair standing on end, Qi Liangliang pushed the person in front of her with a cold face.

Still no response.

Once she stopped bothering him, the man left on his own.

"has a problem!"

Miss Neko felt a chill in her heart, not understanding why this was happening. Just now, she clearly felt the warmth and breath of a living person on the other person, but it was as if they had lost their soul.

This reminded her of what her elders had told her about the great demon from ancient times.

Those wicked people love to eat the souls of children and then keep them in their homes to admire. Of course, they especially love the souls of cats.

Because their clan is very cute.

That's right!

We must have encountered a great demon!

but……

Thinking of this, Qi Liangliang felt somewhat discouraged.

Even if she were to encounter it, it seemed she wouldn't be able to resist.

stomping on...

The strange footsteps are coming again!

Miss Cat hurriedly fled back to Komaha-ya, then hid behind the door and curled up into a ball.

"Don't find me, don't find me..."

Backfired.

Knock knock knock, someone is knocking on the door.

This frightened Qi Liangliang so much that she held her breath and curled herself up even more tightly.

"That's strange, it was definitely here, did it escape?"

Her voice is very magnetic and deep; at other times, Miss Cat would definitely praise it.

But let's forget about it for now.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

The person outside the door continued speaking.

These words made Qi Liangliang's heart leap into her throat, and she could only close her eyes and pray that the other person would leave.

It seemed to have some effect. After lingering outside for a while, the person said with a hint of disappointment, "There really isn't any. Let's look somewhere else."

"Yes, yes, there's no one here."

Qi Liangliang called out in her heart, and soon, there was no more movement outside.

After a while, Miss Cat cautiously raised her head and looked out the window.

have they gone?

Unexpectedly, a smiling face appeared before me, and the person raised an eyebrow: "Got you, huh?"

"Don't eat me!!!"

……

Holding Qi Liangliang by the back of the neck with one hand and pressing down on her wildly flailing arms with the other, Xu Guang was in a very good mood.

He thought that with both Kage and Kujo gone, he would be a lonely old man again, but unexpectedly he found a cat.

Looking down, the other person immediately stopped what they were doing, but their eyes welled up with tears.

This pitiful appearance, along with the two uneasy tails behind him, further fueled Xu Guang's malice.

Or how about we help them cosplay as a nine-tailed cat?

"I don't taste good, please spare me..."

A weak, feeble voice.

Xu Guang smiled with narrowed eyes: "That depends on whether you behave or not. After all, you are my prisoner now, and I can do whatever I want with you."

Xu Guang emphasized certain words, but unfortunately Qi Liangliang was too frightened to hear them at all.

She could only vaguely sense that the other party might not want to eat her, so in order to survive, she decisively spoke up: "I'm very obedient!"

Seeing her silly look, Xu Guang laughed even harder and carried her all the way to the hot spring resort in Inazuma City.

The two entered the changing room, and Xu Guang pointed to his clothes: "What are you standing there for? Take them off! Do you want to soak in the hot springs with your clothes on?"

Qi Liangliang nodded, looking aggrieved.

Soaking in a hot spring is fine, it's not like you're going to boil yourself.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Could you please step outside for a moment?"

Xu Guangxi feigned a fierce look: "What? You just said you would obey, but now you're not?"

Startled by this, Qi Liangliang shrank back and slowly took off her clothes.

Looking at the dazzling white scene, Xu Guang's Adam's apple bobbed.

With a frail build and a kind face, her slender body seemed to be telling the other person a truth: this is a child who can be bullied.

Her soft, smooth skin was slightly flushed, and beneath her calves were cat-like paw pads. Although she could change her paws to human ones, she only felt safe when her paw pads touched the ground.
