Reading poems from Teyvat

Lei Dianying observed the expressions of the two people. Compared with the speechless Lei Dianzhen, she was calmer at this time, like her sister: "I also heard you say that Ah Zhen's body is now a human body. Although she can no longer use elemental power, she should have the reproductive ability that a normal human should have, right? So, if you mate normally, you should be able to produce offspring, right?"

Shen Zhigui really couldn't imagine that Lei Dianying could push the topic to this extent on his own.

But Lei Dianzhen also looked over with shining eyes at this time, and Shen Zhigui immediately said: "It should be possible, right?"

Although he didn't understand why Raiden really looked like that.

"But my body has been modified, so I probably won't be able to produce offspring like Ah Zhen. Can you accept this?"

"Wouldn't that be better?"

Shen Zhigui blurted out these five words in an instant, and the pair of sisters standing beside him immediately cast doubtful eyes at him. It seems that in the minds of these sisters, the concept of mating must be tied to the concept of offspring, and it is not just for pleasure. Why did this boy blurt out such words at this time? Does he mean that he actually doesn't want offspring?

Chapter 63: The Wind Blows the Hibiscus Water (Part 2)

Shen Zhigui indeed had not thought about the issue of future generations.

It is better to say that young people like him who grew up under the influence of the new liberalism popular on the Internet in the new era do not attach as much importance to the issue of future generations as the previous generation. Perhaps the previous generation thinks that passing on the family line is everyone's natural obligation. For someone like Shen Zhigui, if his own life is a mess and he sees no hope, then there is no need for him to create the next generation to face this bad world and continue the same cycle, instead of being as optimistic as the previous generation and believing that if this generation does not do well, the next generation will have hope of rising. He even does not think that he can educate his future generations into his ideal way.

Because he himself already knows how many pitfalls he has fallen into in the process to become what he is now.

Maybe the next generation will update the version environment, just like Shen Zhigui is really going to marry Lei Dianzhen now, their descendants will definitely be the best in Inazuma. Although Shen Zhigui himself is now wanton, he definitely doesn't want to see a descendant who relies on his extraordinary status to bully men and women and do evil everywhere -

Although he seems to be similar now.

So is this a case of like repels like?

Shen Zhigui raised the corners of his lips in a slightly self-deprecating manner and thought so in his heart.

Lei Dianying seemed to have seen through his concerns, and she thought of her creation. Of course, she didn't want to admit that it was her offspring, but she understood Shen Zhigui's idea very well. Although her original intention was not to create a self-aware puppet, the puppet had indeed grown crooked and turned into that appearance. As his creator, shouldn't Lei Dianying learn from past experience?

Didn’t you see how much trouble his crooked appearance caused Inazuma?

So at this time, Lei Dianying understood why Shen Zhigui said that.

But at this moment, she looked at her sister, whose expression had become a little gloomy, and immediately calmed down:

"I understand your concerns and worries. In the end, it's just because you don't want to cause trouble. But, if you really want to say it, even if your offspring becomes like that, what does it matter? Don't you always claim that you are not someone who will be bound by normal social morals?"

Shen Zhigui immediately glanced at the Thunder God whose eyes were filled with lightning and looked majestic, and then simply said: "The essence of man is the sum of all social relations, and I just want to withdraw from the existing social relations at the right time, or to withdraw myself from those relations anytime and anywhere, so I would do and say that."

Although there were many unspoken words in Shen Zhigui's words, Lei Dianying could clearly grasp his intentions at this time. It would be better to say that at this time, she felt that she and this young man were not only in tune with each other in the field of martial arts, but also began to have such a tacit understanding in more aspects:

Because most of the people who interact with him do have the attributes that can transcend existing social relations, or he deliberately chooses such people to interact with him. At least most of those people have the eyes of God. A few of them, such as Huai'an, the owner of Wangshu Inn, are obviously not ordinary people in human society, so he can do this, or say this, or his nature is a group of clouds floating in the sky. When he is in the mood, he can certainly send down rain and connect with the world, but in the end he will still wander away from the human world and place himself in a place where only a few people can find him. Therefore, even if his willful behavior will cause trouble to others, it will only harm the people around him.

He was not as keen on governing a country as the two sisters, nor did he have the corresponding political ambitions. Rather, even if he had such an idea, he would only implement it in Liyue.

Of course, people like the doctor were obviously not within his consideration.

And once he has offspring, just as she cannot control the fate of the puppet, nor his thoughts, it is difficult to predict what choices his offspring will make. Not to mention that Lei Dianzhen is still the same identity. Wasn't the reason why the puppet became like that because there were always people who wanted to make a fuss about his connection with Lei Movie?

From this perspective, she could also understand why Shen Zhigui was so pessimistic.

Because after his and Lei Dian Zhen's descendants really appeared, even if the three of them tried to protect them deliberately, they would inevitably be contaminated by many things, and these things were not something that a warrior like her could simply and rudely cut off with a sword. The more she followed Lei Dian Zhen recently, the more she wanted to understand Lei Dian Zhen's actions, the more she realized that the complex context behind these seemingly simple things was really not something that someone like her who advocated the use of force could understand, because human desires were really too diverse, and before that, she was just using the power of the Thunder God to scare the people under her rule with life and death, but even so, didn't the previous head of the Kujo family still want to use her force to maintain their family's prosperity?

She valued eternity before, so some people took advantage of her emphasis on eternity to guide her to acquiesce in the issuance of the National Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order;

Now that she values ​​Lei Dian Zhen, the Fatui want to take advantage of her appreciation for Lei Dian Zhen and Lei Dian Zhen's feelings for Shen Zhigui to gain the Heart of God;

If he and Lei Dian really had offspring, there would definitely be people who wanted to use their offspring to achieve their own goals. Being in a high position would naturally encounter problems of one kind or another. Unless they sent their offspring abroad to study and did not bring them with them all year round, they would inevitably face such troubles. But if they were separated from each other all year round, why would they need to have offspring? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Perhaps this is what the young man meant when he said, "The essence of man is the sum of social relations"?

But she fixed her eyes on the three people's clasped hands, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Anyway, you still have to go to Xumi to solve the problem of the doctor, right? So let's talk about this issue later."

He didn't want to say it now.

Shen Zhigui was thinking in his heart.

It's better to say that he is a little fed up with the current situation.

Lei Dianzhen was a little surprised to hear that these two people could communicate so smoothly, but in the end, a reassuring smile appeared on that gentle, graceful, and beautiful face, which looked exactly like Lei Dianyian but was completely different from her current majestic appearance. She held their hands even tighter, passing the warm touch to the two people, as if she wanted to grasp this time and never let it go.

Although Shen Zhigui's thoughts at this moment were like pond water disturbed by the wind, he could never calm down.

Chapter 64: The Wind Blows the Hibiscus Water (Part 2)

Although it was probably because the two sisters suddenly mentioned the issue of offspring.

For Shen Zhigui, whose psychological age is gradually approaching his current physical age and whose physical age seems to be forever maintained at the age of seventeen, if he wants to leave offspring he must first form a family, and forming a family means that he must be bound to someone in social relations and become a part of each other. Although Shen Zhigui does not want to practice Ni Ge Dao or anything like that, after having a child he would just leave the child to the other party and let them fend for themselves, if such a thing really happened, Shen Zhigui would probably still accept his fate. However, he was not even happy to become a master and apprentice with Grandma Ping before, and now he is asked to form a family and form such a contract of sharing life and death and advancing and retreating together, he is really not mentally prepared.

Rather, he didn't think that his relationship with Lei Dian had actually progressed to this point.

Is this topic a bit too heavy for a minor like him?

Shen Zhigui said shamelessly in his heart.

However, at this point, he can only postpone it for the time being. Anyway, he has to go to Xumi next, where he will complete a crucial step in martial arts. What the situation will become by then, he can only wait and see. Anyway, if Lei Dian really wants him to stay in Inazuma and be a prince or something like that, he will definitely not do it.

Moreover, there is the issue of Liyue’s Keqing and Shenhe.

Thinking about it this way, even if he really pushed his martial arts to that point, he would have to make a choice between Liyue and Inazuma.

In fact, Lei Dianzhen should have known this clearly.

Or, it was precisely because she knew that Shen Zhigui had such concerns that she chose to expose the ambiguity between the two at that time and pushed the relationship to its current state?

It should be, right?

Shen Zhigui thought.

However, he still felt that it would be better for him not to speculate on what these people were thinking.

Although he estimated that he would inevitably fall into such a quagmire in the end, the later such a day came, the later he would face it. Although burying his head in the sand and acting like an ostrich was just deceiving himself, he didn't really care about these matters between men and women. After all, if he really wanted to indulge his desires, there were plenty of ways to achieve his goals.

As his understanding of "refining qi into spirit" deepened, his attainments in "flowers fall and water flows" naturally improved. If it took him five years to turn a lady into a puppet who obeyed his orders when he used this trick, he could now turn Rosaline into a slave who would do whatever he wanted without any complaints overnight.

He obviously has no psychological burden towards women.

Although it seems more appropriate to call the lady Rosalyn now.

But according to her thoughts, maybe she would be more willing to become Shen Zhigui's puppet, completely based on Shen Zhigui's orders, without having to think for herself, because in this way she would not have to be tormented by her increasingly clear personal will and her increasingly clear memories of the lady. Her personal will reminded her to complete her redemption of Mondstadt, while her memory and personal identity required her to fulfill her duties as the executive of the Fatui. Moreover, if she could no longer serve as the executive of the Fatui, but chose to rebel against the Fatui and stand on the side of Mondstadt, the Queen of Winter would take back her power, and her usefulness to Mondstadt would be greatly reduced.

And by then, Shen Zhigui will even have to solve her physical problems.

But having already owed Shen Zhigui so much, she obviously couldn't find a way to repay him. If she used to think that she and Shen Zhigui were equal, now, after witnessing Shen Zhigui's amazing progress in just half a year, and further understanding the world from the lady's memory, she realized that the distance between her and Shen Zhigui was getting farther and farther, and that the young man was almost omnipotent.

And by then, what use would she be to him?

He can now drive out the Fatui with his own strength, and even stand up to the weird second "Doctor" and even defeat him. Although now is the best time for her to leave the Fatui and return to Mondstadt, she does not think there is any point in her returning to Mondstadt now.

Because the person who saved Mondstadt single-handedly was that young boy.

If this "innocent girl" who is tortured by reality is to live under the shadow of her debt to that boy for the rest of her life, it would be better to let this boy become her shadow now.

Standing in front of the idle wind god Barbatos, Rosaline thought this in her heart while she told him the reality she had learned.

She now even felt a little resentful of Shen Zhigui for wanting to awaken her personality.

Although she also knew that this was just a stopgap measure taken by Shen Zhigui at the time.

If Shen Zhigui had reached his current state of mind half a year ago, he would never choose to do that to settle the matter peacefully, but would directly choose to kill the lady, because now he would not be afraid even if he faced the Fatui head-on. Although he might not be willing to stand up for Mond at that time, given his character, he would never be afraid of making things worse even if it was just to settle personal grudges.

Wendy, who was sitting opposite her, was silent for a moment after hearing what the tall woman said, then smiled and said:

"Are you saying that the Fatui are already that afraid of Xiaogui?"

"The point is your Heart of God."

Rosaline really didn't expect that Barbatos was actually concerned about the duel between Shen Zhigui and the Doctor at this time, instead of the fact that his identity had been discovered by the Fatui. Rosaline looked down at the Wind God who looked like a little boy, thinking that with his weak appearance, the Doctor could easily get his Heart of God by letting any one of the first six seats of the Fatui attack him.

"Oh, this," Wendy took out the Heart of God nonchalantly, observed it carefully for a moment, then turned to the lady standing next to him, who was even a giant to him, thought for a moment, and then said, "You said you were Xiaogui's spy planted among the Fatui, so, can I believe you?"

Rosalyn hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Although she felt that her current situation was actually quite sad: in order to gain the trust of people like Mond, she had to rely on the guarantee of Shen Zhigui, a foreign traveler?

Wendy had no idea of ​​Rosaline's thoughts, so she just threw the Heart of God to her with a smile on her face: "Then, this Heart of God is at your disposal."

Chapter 65: Heavy rain slants down the Xili Wall (Part 1)

Rosalin was stunned and grabbed the Heart of God that Wendy threw in front of her. She looked at the item in her hand and the smiling boy in green clothes and green hat in disbelief for a while. After a long time, she said, "Why? Aren't you afraid that everything I said before was a lie?"

"But even if that happens, I won't lose anything."

Wendy simply poured another bottle of dandelion wine into her mouth, exhaled the alcohol, and said.

"But this is the most important proof of the Seven Worldly Rulers..."

"But I just let them run free in my governance of Mondstadt," Wendy squinted at the woman in front of him who claimed to be Shen Zhigui's spy in the Fatui. Although he had heard of the lady's reputation before, and he also knew that Shen Zhigui had the martial art of "Flowers Fall and Water Flows" that could influence other people's emotions, he really didn't expect Shen Zhigui to use that martial art to make this notorious diplomat in Mondstadt undergo such a transformation. However, he had no intention of delving into it, so he just said, "So Mondstadt will remain the same with or without me, and it will remain the same whether I have the Heart of God or not. If what the Fatui have been doing to Mondstadt all along is to seize the Heart of God, then you can take it. Just don't cause trouble for Mondstadt in the future."

Frankly speaking, after hearing these words, Rosaline wanted to rebuke the god for being irresponsible.

Because she had watched the lady's memories after all. Although she could not empathize with everything in them, the lady's deep hatred for this irresponsible god when the young wolf of the Knights of Favonius died was still passed on to her through her memories and infected her. Of course, rationally speaking, if Mond had enjoyed thousands of years of freedom without being ruled by the devil, then the outbreak of that disaster was the price Mond had to pay for its unrestrained freedom. It was just that the price happened to fall on them and they happened to bear it.

But the memory of resentment was so deep that Rosaline was still unable to look at the Wind God in front of her objectively.

Although she also knew that what the Wind God did was very reasonable.

Because based on the boy's recent deeds alone, even if she really just lied to Barbatos, the boy would sooner or later make the Fatui pay the necessary price.

So if she has bad intentions, this pill is just temporarily placed with her.

Rosalin couldn't help but sigh when she thought about how she would always have to operate within the young man's increasingly large and even boundless shadow.

"You seem troubled?"

When Mondstadt's best bard heard her attitude, he immediately raised his head and asked curiously.

Rosalin just shook her head and put away the Heart of God in her hand. She didn't want to say anything more to this prejudiced god, but Wendy was quite curious about her current state. After all, he had experienced the feeling of being influenced by Shen Zhigui's "Flowers Fall and Water Flows" before, and the effect of the attempt on him at that time was obviously minimal. So he was curious about why this woman in front of him, who was obviously quite powerful, was controlled by Shen Zhigui into her current state, so he asked tentatively: "Can't Xiaogui influence your emotions? When you meet him, why don't you let him blow away your troubles as well?"

Rosalyn really didn't expect that Barbatos would be so gossipy.

And what kind of image did he have of Shen Zhigui in his mind that he actually thought Shen Zhigui would do such a thing? Every time they met, shouldn't he have tested whether she had turned back into a lady? And he also played the flute to make people forget their sorrows and worries?

Although Rosalin really wants to end it all now.

After all, at this time, she didn't know how to move on.

After the Fatui of Mond were expelled, she obtained the Heart of God from the Wind God. If she operates properly, Solstice will probably no longer take any action against Mond, and she can even cancel the conscription agreement that the Doctor signed with Mond, let Solstice reduce tariffs on Mond, and let the people of Mond no longer be oppressed by the Fatui as before.

Although all of this was only possible because of the appearance of Shen Zhigui.

And what happens after doing all these things?

Quit the Fatui and return to Mondstadt?

It seemed that she had no way of finding her place in Mondstadt today.

But if not, she really has no way to find the meaning of her existence in this era. After all, she was pulled from hundreds of years ago to the present era by Shen Zhigui, and she has no intention of maintaining her interpersonal relationships among the Fatui. But apart from her identity as an executive of the Fatui, it seems that her only anchor in this world is Shen Zhigui.

Although if she really planned to follow that boy, she could imagine that the boy would probably still say absentmindedly that if she could not find a place to stay in Mondstadt, then she could just go to another country and find a place where she didn't know anyone and start over. To that person, her appearance was essentially just an accident, although the two had made an agreement in the hot spring hotel before, that he would solve her physical problems, and she would run around for his private affairs.

Although in Rosaline's view, Shen Zhigui's private affairs are actually public affairs of all countries in Teyvat.

He himself seemed to have no ambition to intervene in the affairs of other countries. Even when Inazuma changed the attitude of General Raiden and let Lei Diany let her go, he did not choose to continue to stay in Inazuma and hold a position second only to the emperor and act recklessly there.

Although with his current martial arts skills, he can do whatever he wants wherever he is.

From this perspective, he is like the darling of this era, while she is like the abandoned child of this era.

Although Rosaline felt that this man was traveling around the various countries in Teyvat just to gain greater freedom, he did not want to have deeper interactions with the people in these countries. Although from an outsider's perspective, he seemed to be flirting with women wherever he went, when she was in close contact with the boy, Rosaline never noticed that the boy had any extra desires. He seemed to be absent-minded all the time, as if his mind was attracted by something in the void, so he was always chasing those ethereal things, while she was still buried in the layers of mud in reality, to the deepest part where she could not escape, but she could never find the direction.

So sometimes, Rosaline was particularly envious of that man's free and easy nature.

Although her tattered body began to recover vitality after receiving Shen Zhigui's treatment, she also felt that her life would not end within a few years, but if she could not find the direction and continue to prolong her life, what could she do?

She feels that she is quite contradictory now.

On the one hand, she thinks she is still the same Rosaline, but she really can't face the world with the mentality of Rosaline back then, because Rosaline back then would feel that the world is full of birdsong and flowers, her future is infinitely broad, she still has endless possibilities that have not been discovered, and there are too many fun things in this world waiting for her to explore and discover. However, the reality is that she is tired of this world where the sky is always gray, torrential rain may fall at any time, and the roads will turn into mud.

So, after he solves the Doctor's problem, she will go to him to clarify.

Even if it means turning me into a slave who only obeys him.

Rosalyn thought.

She really didn't want to continue like this.

……

When Shen Zhigui was thinking about where he should go, Rosaline was also thinking about where she should go, and even those people in Liyue were also thinking about where they should go - of course, to be honest, in fact, basically everyone is born to face this problem, and then they will be tortured by this problem for the rest of their lives. Few people can choose to be half drunk and half awake like Wendy, and live in a daze -
