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

"... Ugh, who on earth raised such a bad-mouthed little sheep?"

"Although I do eat grass, this is not a sheep's horn, it's a unicorn's horn!"

"What's the matter? Come, hug mommy!"

Before Chuxue could respond, Guizhong, who looked more like a girl than a mother, hugged her.

The soft and plump jade ball is pressed against her cheek, and the lapels of her clothes carry the faint scent of glass lilies. This young "mother" has a perfect figure that is inconsistent with her appearance. If she were a man, she would probably think that she has no regrets in her life, right?

It's a pity that this kind of hugging has been going on continuously since childhood, and often with Chu Xue's struggle, he would be "brutally suppressed" and pressed on the bed for an endless period of time.

Even the devil has no resistance to cute things.

The girl who had been enjoyed so much thought with despair -

After this parent-child-like fun ended, Gui finally let go of her hand and smiled sweetly.

"Yeah, I'm satisfied! This will give me motivation to continue working tomorrow!"

"Are we going to build a new home or a house for a newlywed couple?"

"Of course it's both." Gui Zhong snorted proudly, with his hands on his waist: "But, compared to that, there are more important things."

"You finally realized that your cooking skills need to be improved. Are you planning to open your flower fields to me for extra food?"

"That won't do! Besides, my cooking skills are obviously very good. Even Li and Master Liuyunjiefeng praised it highly after eating it. It's the best food in the world!"

"Because no one would add those weird things when cooking, right?"

The girl vaguely remembered that last time she ate something in the soup that looked like a screw and had a similar purpose to a screw.

“That was an accident, and creating something new requires this spirit of nonconformity.”

In the end, he made a very logical argument, first saying "there is a sequence in learning, and there is specialization in skills..." and then "I retain some of the original flavor of the ingredients, so that you can know what you are eating."

"So what's for dinner tonight?"

"Uh... hot, hot glass lily?"

"Although I don't mind eating these, but last time when I was sitting outside my house eating Qingxin, someone asked me if I was punished by Master Guizhong and wanted to plead for me."

"Oh! I was wondering why someone came to me with game the other day and said that no matter how hard it is, we can't let the child suffer. I was also wondering if I should buy you some new clothes, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

The two looked at each other, and the younger girl gave her young mother a subtle look.

"Ahem!" The shy Gui Zhong cleared his throat and then changed the subject: "How about we go to our neighbor's house and have a meal?"

"Then someone will pile up food at the door tomorrow, and I won't be able to help you finish the kitchen waste this time."

"Eh, you actually call the food my mother cooked kitchen waste?!"

"No mother would feed her daughter half-cooked, bloody wild boar meat that hasn't even been shaved clean, right?"

Chuxue looked at her with disdain. This was called Guizhong. He took two steps back as if his mechanism had failed, and sat on the ground as if he had turned into snow-white ash.

Like a woman who had been wronged, she hid her face with her sleeves and muttered sadly, "…It's all my fault. I made you starve and become thin."

"Okay. I shouldn't have said that. Even though it doesn't taste good, at least it can fill my stomach..."

Hatsuyuki squatted in front of her and gently poked her cheek.

"By the way. Did your foster father say anything before he left?"

"He said that since you fell asleep, the reward is gone."

"It doesn't matter if the reward is gone, but there should be no punishment, right?"

"Of course not. Don't you think Li is too old-fashioned?"

After looking at Gui Zhong for a while with a look of "what are you talking about", she seemed to be somewhat confused and said, "But it seems so. Who knows how long that stone head has lived."

"However, since there is no punishment, I feel relieved."

"Although there is no punishment, you still have to go to Master Liuyun Jiefeng to study for a period of time."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's face suddenly looked aggrieved and she stared at Gui Zhong with tears in her eyes.

"Good mother, don't you want me anymore? I really won't eat the glass lilies at home anymore. At most, I'll eat the weeds in the flower fields. The rest of the time, I'll let you do whatever you want. Your daughter will definitely not say a word... mmm."

"Okay, I know you don't want to go! I really don't want to let you go, but please don't bring up such a statement next time!"

Gui Zhong quickly looked to see if there was anyone outside the door, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"If anyone hears this, my reputation as the Demon God of Dust will be ruined."

This child sometimes always says some "horrifying" words that make people feel distressed and ashamed.

However, even she could not have too much sympathy for this matter. Learning immortal magic was a skill to survive in troubled times.

Whether it is for self-protection or for the future inheritance or important tasks, one should lay a good foundation.

So she had to make an agreement with Chuxue that she would work five days a week and have two days off, and if there were holidays, she would be allowed to stay in Guiliyuan.

The girl was not too willful, she was satisfied to get such conditions.

Although I know that I am not ambitious, but...

How can you look to the future if your heart is not healed?

Wait until the next day——

In addition to Kai Li, the one who came to pick up Chuxue was the crane-shaped immortal who was called "a strong rival with the same aspirations" by Gui Zhong.

There is a saying that goes, "Nature does not increase or decrease, the heart is not pure or dirty, there is no action and no law. This is the free and unrestrained immortal, whose name is left in the clouds and borrowed from the wind. It is difficult to see it without being registered as an immortal."

When they first met, she pointed at the girl and exclaimed, "How strange! There is a unicorn girl who doesn't look like a ball."

I always feel like something is hidden.

The girl thought so.

Chapter 5: Don’t sink, move forward

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng took her from Guiliyuan to Minlin.

Her immortal residence is located on the top of a stone peak that stands like a pavilion among the clouds, and is obscured by a sea of ​​brilliant fog, like a whirlpool that attracts those who yearn for the sky and the immortal residence.

There are also a large number of monsters frozen in amber as a warning to those who want to climb the stone peak.

Even though it was a blessed land for the immortals, it was also spread by the flames of war...

——Thanks to the help of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Chu Xue did not have to hike up the mountain, but instead enjoyed the experience of “looking down on all the mountains”.

Although the posture is a bit strange, fortunately, this trip is to learn from a master, not to stew lamb in a small pot. As for comfort, you can't expect too much in this barbaric era.

By the way, now that the verb ban has been lifted, Hatsuyuki once thought about what it would feel like if she could run, jump, and wrestle.

But the possession came after a greater loss, so that this joy not only failed to overcome the sadness, but made the old days seem irreversible.

Yes, even if it was her, it would be impossible for her to live for thousands of years and meet the friends in her memories, right?

Even if we meet, things and people are no longer the same, which only adds to our worries...

Perhaps it was because the flight was too boring, or perhaps it was a test from a master to his apprentice who had not yet been accepted.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng quickly started talking to her.

"First snow. How do you feel about living in the human world?"

"Well... because I live in Guiliyuan, I don't know much about what people in the outside world are like, but most of the people under Guizhong's protection are living well."

Although Guiliyuan is located in the hills and is truly sloping farmland, effective measures were taken after discussions between the Demon God of Dust and the people.

On the hillside, fields with strip-shaped terraces and wavy sections are built along the contour lines.

That is terraced fields.

This measure can not only store water and conserve soil, but also has a significant effect on increasing production, so that the fruits of a year's hard work will not be washed away by heavy rain or high tide.

However, due to labor limitations and economic constraints, the area of ​​the terraced fields is not very large, and the irrigation and drainage systems and transportation routes also need to be optimized, so it is not possible to fill their stomachs by farming alone.

But people also have other ways. Some of the young and strong people in the village will form a hunting team and go out hunting, so as to ensure that they will not go hungry during certain poor harvest seasons.

The most important thing is, as long as people are in Guiliyuan, they don't have to worry about being killed by evil spirits that may jump out at any time, or dying tragically in the aftermath of the war between demons and gods. Even as for the housing problem, Guizhong will build a house for every child after they get married.

From these aspects, it is comparable to Cao Cao's description in "Song of the Grassland": "Bone bones are exposed in the wild, no cock crows for a thousand miles. If one out of a hundred people survives, the thought of it breaks one's heart."

The people of Guiliyuan at least have a wise and intelligent leader, so they don't have to live with their families broken up, their wives and children separated, or even have to eat their own children.

Chu Xue admires the fact that he can bring new life to people, but he also aspires to become the kind of person who works for the welfare of the people.

She is just too confused now...

It is not only the hesitation about one's own identity, but also the fact that one cannot catch up with the past if one moves forward. And one cannot bear to degenerate into the present situation if one moves forward.

Perhaps sensing the confusion in the girl's heart, Master Liuyunjiefeng looked into the distance and said, "Then why not let me take you to see what it's like for real humans living in this chaotic world, wandering around without the protection of the demon gods, to be like."

Passing through thousands of stone peaks and rolling clouds.

The girl and what she saw was——

A scorched earth with nothing but dead silence.

The sky was the color of a dark bloody dusk, the land was cracked, the vegetation was withered and cracked, the rotting and smelly corpses of the diseased sank on the long-dried riverbed, and beside them knelt skinny children, their eyes colorless, only emptiness.

Even the appearance of Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not move them in the slightest. All of them wandered around like zombies...

Until one person fell down, the others would scramble for his flesh and blood.

From time to time, there would be people who were so hungry that their heads were dizzy and their bodies were covered with flames, attacking their companions around them. The attacked people did not dodge or resist, but allowed themselves to be ripped open by the enemies, who would only take out their livers and lungs, without even chewing them, but just swallowed the food.

Even though his throat was swollen and his face turned blue from choking, he still refused to spit out anything until he died.

This is a historical aspect that has never been presented in movies or TV dramas, nor in the girl's world. It is completely unconcealed, as if mocking her unspeakable thoughts, rushing towards her.

Disease and hunger tortured people beyond human form. Chu Xue didn't even dare to look at the scenes that were more cruel and terrifying than the corpses.

The pollution and pain contained in it are far beyond the comparison of the physical injuries.

Her depressed mood made it impossible for her to think about anything beyond this, and she was simply horrified by this hellish scene.

“Not long ago, this place was a habitable place for humans.”

Master Liuyun Jiefeng put her on the ground and then told the story.

"Then why..."

"…Why? No reason. Few people in this world know why they were born and why they die. And they, perhaps, were blocking the way of a great demon and were an eyesore. So they were destroyed by it as a matter of course."

The tone of voice did not reveal indifference or lack of mercy.

But after seeing so many such scenes, it seems ironic and bitter.

She turned her head, her jade-like eyes reflecting the angry girl, and she spoke bluntly.

"There are many demons in the world, but few seem to have achieved their goal. It is even rarer to see someone like the Rock King who openly fights against the other demons just to protect a small corner of the world.

As for humans like them, who are as insignificant as ants, most of them are regarded by other demon gods as a means of entertainment and recreation."

The first snow lowered its head silently, but its eyes were filled with reluctance and anger. It seemed as if it wanted to burn away all the evil spirits on this land, leaving only snow-like ashes and the will to create a new world.

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was somewhat surprised by this change. She indeed saw that her disciple was confused, so she brought her to see this scorched earth.

In order to lead her out of the maze, rather than trapping herself in it, she must be awakened by such a tragic scene. A person with a fate like her can still think about the complicated and trivial things outside of her body in this chaotic world.

But there are more poor and miserable people in the world who have no corn to cook, no clean water to drink, and no medicine to fight off the epidemic.

If you want to become an immortal, you must know why you want to be an immortal.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng did not think that he favored humans as much as Guizhong did, but he did not want to see such a scene of devastation as soon as he went out.

Therefore, she hoped to get a glimpse of the changes that would happen in the next thousand years from this half-immortal girl.

You know, not only humans are suffering in this chaotic world, even immortals cannot escape the disaster of falling.

If these two are mixed together, and she is entrusted with a "destiny", what path can she take?

Chapter 6: Find your sister here!

——Arrived at Mount Ozang.

This is a big mountain located to the north of Qingyunding. On it is the warm and sweet Tianchi Lake with beautiful scenery.

Compared to the tragic scene before, this place is exactly the kind of place where immortals would live in Chu Xue's mind, but...
