Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

This has made these people feel more at ease to a certain extent.

After all, Guiliji has expanded to this day, and the habitable areas of Guiliyuan have been completely occupied. Some people who have moved in from outside will naturally be in relatively peripheral areas. Now that they have encountered this disaster, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

They didn't know what really happened that day, so even though some people saw Kuxue appear there and had some concerns about it, they did not regard her as the culprit who brought the tide.

And Kuxue also waited as Master Liuyun Jiefeng had said, and silently welcomed the gazes of the Emperor and Guizhong.

Neither of them showed any disappointment or anger towards her.

Rather, Gui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound, and he comforted her and hugged her.

He seemed afraid that she would attribute the incident to his own responsibility alone.

Li just pursed his lips and looked at her silently.

There was no dissatisfaction towards her in that look, just... a hint of concern.

He is worried that this kind of thing will happen again.

This time, the sea disaster was stopped because he was still guarding Guiliyuan. But if next time, Kuxue is controlled to play the song of summoning the sea, once the sea rushes into Guiliyuan completely, it will be impossible to stop it with the flat terrain here.

Even he couldn't have resisted like he did today. The best he could do was to force the people here to migrate to other places.

In fact...

The engulfed Yaoguang Beach is the most realistic portrayal.

Faced with such a powerful force of nature, even the devil has to act within his capabilities.

You can't let him build a hundred-meter-high stone wall around Guiliyuan, right?

Although it is not impossible, it is not a small project. Moreover, building a stone wall will do more harm than good to the survival of the people.

Isolating the waterway means that the fishing industry will suffer a severe blow, and the Liyue Port under his control will be basically destroyed. The trading status with Guiliji will fall to the bottom, further fueling conflicts and divisions among the people.

The destruction of commerce means that in the short term Liyue will fall into instability and fear for the future.

Although the existing land is enough to feed everyone today, the population is always increasing. Where will the extra population migrate to?

After all, unlike the past, Liyue has food resources and is developing agriculture very smoothly.

The population surge has been going on for many years. If it were not for the war, Guiliyuan would have been crowded with people sooner or later, without waiting for the next hundred or thousand years.

Building a stone wall at this time would be tantamount to standing still and would also seem rather cowardly.

In this land of Liyue, he had always been the one conquering the demons who violated the "contract". How could he have been forced to build a defense circle like a turtle?

After all, if we weren't worried about a decisive battle in this sea area, causing the fall of the demon god and a greater sea disaster.

Otherwise, Li Ding would let the evil demon know the advantage of his stone spear.

It is precisely because of this that Li has deep concerns.

But now, Kuxue took the initiative to speak.

"I am responsible for this disaster. Please punish me, my Lord."

“During the time I was guarding, I didn’t realize that you were deceived by the devil’s dream. It was not easy for you to wake up in time at the last moment and avoid causing a disaster.

So how can I blame you?"

Li shook his head and rejected her proposal.

"But... if there is no punishment, Kuxue will feel uneasy."

The girl replied with a bitter face.

Li didn't know how to persuade her for a moment as he saw her guilty look.

He certainly couldn't say any harsh words. After all, he had seen Kuxue's efforts for Guiliji, and he was also partly responsible for the fact that she was now exhausted and affected by the sea demon.

However, if he was just let off like that, it would probably be a bigger blow to Kuxue.

Fortunately, at this time, Gui finally proposed her plan.

"Well, I say... why not just put me under house arrest! It just so happens that I have a lot of things that Xiao Kuxue needs to deal with, so Xiao Kuxue can help me complete these tasks during the house arrest!"

After all, post-disaster reconstruction and the implementation of various measures require manpower.

Rather than filling this child's head with self-blaming thoughts, it's better to fill her schedule with work so that she doesn't have time to think about anything else.

Although it is a bit tiring, it is just right as a punishment.

After all, what would be the point of letting her punish Kuxue? The contract the girl signed was to protect Liyue until the end of the Demon God War and to open up a kingdom for the people of Liyue.

Based on Guizhong's understanding of her, after completing this duty, Kuxue will probably remain highly bound to Liyue.

There will be plenty of time in the future for this child to get rid of this "guilt".

In fact, with the contributions she has made to Guiliji now, people no longer have the right to resent her, and there is no reason for Kuxue to "atone her sins."

And just like that, the arrangements for Kuxue came to an end.

And at this moment——

Gan Yu also stood on the top of the stone peak and looked towards Yaoguang Beach, which had been submerged by sea water.

Although Master Liuyun Jiefeng had sent her a message to inform her that Guiliji was safe, she was still anxious when she learned that her sister was under the influence of the demon.

However, now that the water tide is rising, the water-shaped object that Kuxue is pursuing may be more likely to appear.

Going back now would be a missed opportunity.

What to do put her in a dilemma for a moment.

Fortunately, another helper came to help.

A Ping.

After the sea disaster, she accepted the commission from Master Liuyun Jiefeng and came to help Ganyu.

Of course, this is a favor that needs to be owed.

Moreover, she also happened to have some words she wanted to tell Ganyu.

Since it concerns Kuxue, she takes this matter very seriously.

After seeing Ganyu in confusion, she asked directly.

"If you were asked to choose between Liyue and Kuxue, which one would you choose?"

“…I don’t know about this kind of thing.”

Ganyu seemed conflicted about this, but her shifted gaze already revealed her inclination.

If that day really comes, I'm afraid she will choose her own sister.

For this reason, Ping also frankly told what she heard strangely in the "music" this time.

"Then I advise you to spend more time with Kuxue. The child has many secrets hidden in her heart, and each of them makes her unable to escape. The only way to feel a little relieved is to keep moving forward, but this method will not last long."

Her expression was serious as she warned Ganyu, who was still a little confused.

“This time, all the immortals said that Kuxue was under the influence of the devil and was controlled to play the song of summoning the sea.

But I have heard the real song of calling the sea, and it is not the same as what she played. It is just the sound of her soul.

Why would just talking about the sound of the heart cause such a huge wave? I am afraid there is a danger that we have ignored in the past."

Chapter 44: Pure Water Spirit Lotia

During this period of confinement, Kuxue basically never left Guiliji, but was busy with post-disaster reconstruction work and taking care of Mei and Nai around the clock.

The conditions of the two have become increasingly serious. Nai, who was still conscious at first, is now in a deep coma.

The little girl Ai Cao was also crying, and so were the other children adopted by the two.

For these abandoned children, Mei and Nai are not only teachers who impart knowledge, but also "parents".

Because of this, they are particularly eager for Kuxue to save Mei and Nai.

However, all Kuxue could do was to relieve their pain, and beyond that, she could do nothing else.

Under this childlike expectation, Kuxue felt that time became long and torturous.

She could only pray, praying that Ganyu could bring back the Heart of Pure Water.

And, be able to use magic to rescue before the last moment.

……

As she stepped deeper into the stone gate, Ganyu could also feel the gradually stronger scent of water element.

Ah Ping tilted the tip of her gun to the side, her expression calm but with a hint of caution.

The water element here has become so activated that it would make humans feel uncomfortable.

Just breathing would bring in gas that was almost turning into liquid. If Ping did not have strong confidence in her own strength, she would never easily enter the enemy's home court.

To fight here is to go against the laws that make up this world.

Even if we can win, we cannot achieve any results.

And a battle without results is meaningless.

She and Ganyu are not Yakshas. They come here not to fight, but to find the Heart of Pure Water.

If she fails to get this, it will probably be a big blow to Kuxue. Even if she will not blame the two of them, but being hit repeatedly in a short period of time, according to the child's personality, she might become autistic.

However, it was at this time that Ping realized that she seemed to have unknowingly cherished the child too much.

This friendship is no longer just about taking care of a friend's child...

No wonder Liuyun Jiefeng was not polite at all when he came to his door.

Just as the ripples in Ping's heart slightly appeared, raindrops gradually fell from the sky, dripping onto the surface of the lake.

Waves of water elegy linger in the valley...

As the two watched, the lake water seemed to have spirituality and began to rapidly revolve around a center. The invisible object now gained a real body and took on the appearance of an angel.

"...Foreign immortals, this is not the battlefield of the Demon God War, but my territory. Please leave quickly."

She did not launch an attack immediately, but instead used her own domain, half as a threat and half as a warning.

"I have heard from the True Lord that this is the source of the Qingce Water. And because you have been maintaining clean water here, the water source has never dried up or deteriorated over the past thousands of years, but has become clearer and sweeter, allowing people to build a village and survive here."

Ganyu stared at her and spoke word by word.

"Ganyu deeply admires this. I will never drag the land of Qingce into the flames of war. I am here only to ask a favor of you."

"…You want something from me?"

The pure water elf swayed its body gently, then disappeared into the lake, raising waves, and moved towards Ganyu.

As if to show her sincerity, Ganyu did not resist but responded politely.

The pure water elf also stopped before hitting Ganyu and condensed into a human form that was similar to her.

"...I can sense that you, my child with the blood of the immortal unicorn, also have the ability to bring down sweet rain. So what do you want from me?"

"I hope to exchange the Pure Water Heart with you. Of course, this is not for free. I will also pay something of equal value."

Although the idea was a bit fanciful, after all, the Qilin was a beast of good fortune, benevolence and longevity. How could one kill it without asking for its opinion and without any reason just because it could be of use to him?

Not to mention that the pure water elf is not a beast without intelligence. She is the source of the water of lightness. Although she does not openly protect humans, there are many people who have benefited from her kindness.

In this way, there is no possibility for Ganyu to kill her directly and take away the Pure Water Heart. What Zhenjun said before was also intended to be a worst-case scenario, which would require the use of force.

During these years of working in Guiliji, she learned a lot, and more importantly -

Understand flexibility and the ways of the world.

To put it more simply, make more friends and fewer enemies.

However, it was unknown which words triggered the Pure Water Elf's vigilance. She suddenly turned into water splashes and dispersed, and the stone platform where the two were standing also began to tremble rapidly.

Her voice, tinged with anger, also lingered in the valley.

"...You are here to seek the Heart of Pure Water. It seems that you are no different from the assassins like me who came from our homeland..."

As if some mechanism had been triggered, a large amount of water began to gush out, flooding the platform and submerging Ganyu and Aping's ankles.

"You lunatics who are pursuing our free-flowing souls, "Pure Water" can transform into all kinds of forests and wilds. I will use this "water" to punish you..."

The water began to become restless under the elegy-like tone of the pure water spirit.
