Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

She once said, "Hmph, to put it bluntly, does Morax really know everything?"

The Liyue Seven Stars keep a close eye on everything that happens in the harbor, but the Geo Archon only descends once a year.

A thousand years of history have proven that following in the footsteps of the emperor was the right thing to do, but Ke Qing always believed that as a "human being", one should have the pride of a "human being", and the thoughts of a "human being" should also be valued.

Therefore, she often expressed opinions different from those of the Emperor and took the lead in putting them into practice.

Such a radical approach has indeed yielded many outstanding results, but it has also drawn opposition from many devout followers of the Rock King Emperor.

She didn't care about any of that. Keqing firmly believed that things related to the fate of humanity should be done by humanity, and that humanity could certainly do them better.

To prove this, she worked harder than anyone else.

Moreover, a celestial being told her today that the Emperor actually quite admires her...

"Hey hey hey..."

Ning Guang: "..."

Why are you laughing again? Have you gone mad?

"Ahem." Ke Qing noticed Ning Guang's strange gaze and quickly composed herself.

A large part of the reason she didn't want Gan Yu to leave was because she liked Gan Yu's work ethic.

Gan Yu's identity was not important to her; what mattered was that she was Qi Xing's secretary, the person in charge of Li Yue's Moonlit Pavilion, and Ke Qing's friend.

This is the most important.

She didn't know what Gan Yu was thinking, but in her opinion, the two of them, who always worked overtime together until late at night, were already good friends.

One day, her best friend suddenly decided to resign... Keqing was very reluctant to see her go.

Especially since the situation hasn't reached the point where she has to leave, the two of them can still stay up all night together!

You're gone, and now I'm all alone!

I'm so lonely...

……

Zhong Gui: "Don't stay up late, go to bed early."

Today, we're camping in the snowy mountains!

Chapter 40 Wendy: Oh my god, won't we be able to have a grandson next year? (Chapter 4)

Who's staying up all night?

Only office workers stay up all night, right?

The real big shots go to bed early.

The three played until sunset, then Zhong Gui lit a fire and began setting up a tent for wilderness survival.

Find a sheltered small slope, then place it on a large tree, peel off a whole piece of bark, use the bark as a tent, drape it over the trunk, letting the sides hang down naturally, straighten it, and then secure it.

Then, work on the details by piling soft weeds on the bark near the ground on both sides, and then continue upwards, piling it all up.

Finally, use the split branches to secure the weeds.

And so, a tent with tree trunks as the main beams was erected.

"Perfect."

Don't talk about using divine eyes, divine hearts, or any other nonsense powers; that's not fun at all.

The main problem is that if we did that, the room would be too big.

If the room is large...

In short, Zhong Gui cooked a vegetarian meal, dug up some wine that someone had buried from where the tent had been set up, and the three of them ate and drank their fill before entering the small "bedroom".

Three people could barely squeeze in, and it was even a little difficult to turn around.

Zhong Gui could only helplessly reach out and hug the two of them to save some space.

Shen He didn't react much, but Gan Yu's face turned bright red, and she couldn't help but start to steam even in the snowy mountains.

Zhong Gui: "Things like the Four Pillars of Destiny are all garbage!"

People are only comfortable sleeping in small spaces.

What's next? Not necessarily sleeping!

Of course, don't get the wrong idea, that kind of thing is still a long way off.

Zhong Gui began to tell the two of them about his experiences in Teyvat, his adventures along the way, and some of the gods' secrets.

This is something even Hu Tao has never heard of.

Before she knew it, Gan Yu, who had been playing all day, slowly fell asleep.

Zhong Gui lowered his voice and looked at Shen He, who was watching him tirelessly, and said softly, "Good night."

Shen He nodded, gently lay down on Zhong Gui's body, and closed his eyes.

"Good night."

Amidst the howling wind, the three huddled together for warmth, filling the small space with the warmth of spring.

……

"Fly, fly, fly~"

A gentle breeze flew from the symbol of Mondstadt's heroes to the Dragonspine Mountains, arriving at the western side of the mountain.

Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt, the god of liberty, and the singer of the heavens.

He was awakened a few years ago by some little guy who cornered him in the wind and forcibly woke him up.

Although I felt like I'd seen a ghost when I woke up...

But now that I'm awake, I guess I'll just have to find some alcohol to drink.

As everyone knows, Barbatos didn't shed his silks... he's dead! Barbatos doesn't have much mora; he earns a meager living by busking, barely enough to cover his daily drinking.

Wendy was a bit tipsy today when she suddenly remembered that she had buried some wine in the snow mountain.

When I went to visit the old man in Liyue, he shot me away.

Finally, Wendy crashed heavily onto the western slope of Dragonspine, the side of Brightwood Town.

Although he was beaten, Wendy was happy because the old man didn't kill him. After all, not just anyone who forges the God of Contracts can survive.

Then he casually buried the wine he was carrying in the ground, planning to dig it up when he woke up that day, since there were few people around and no one would dig it up anyway.

Back under the Mondstadt tree, Wendy began a long slumber until she was awakened by the bell.

Now that we're out of alcohol, we'll have to rummage through our inventory.

To put it bluntly, he had his wine stash all over Mondstadt, and there were bound to be a few that survived.

As a god, one can find places, after all, there are traces of one's own presence there.

But what's going on here?!

Wendy sensed that familiar presence from afar.

"Isn't this my nephew?"

Zhong Gui, son of Morax, the second Geo Archon of Liyue, and his own nephew.

But the problem is...

Venti looked west from the tent that exuded the aura of Zhong Gui. About three hundred miles away was the border between Mondstadt and Liyue.

"Well……"

It is unspoken rule that it is not allowed for deities from other countries to cross the border without a word; at the very least, a formal order must be issued before they can enter another country.

Of course, Zhong Gui never took it seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to travel to the seven kingdoms.

Furthermore, Mondstadt and Liyue don't have this rule.

There are probably some among ordinary people, but among the gods and immortals, Barbatos would come to Liyue every few days, and they gradually became good friends, even best friends.

They don't really care anymore.

Otherwise, if Barbatos had forged the contract back then, even if Morax didn't care, the immortals would have sought revenge, and the two countries would have gone to war. It wouldn't have been so easily resolved.

Don't think that immortals don't know; every Mondstadt resident knows that back then, Venti, Vanessa's subordinate, produced the contract from which the nobles sold Mondstadt to the Geo Archons of Liyue.

Regardless of whether the contract is genuine or not, the immortals will come. If it is genuine, the contract will be fulfilled; if it is fake, the disrespectful person who forged the contract will be eliminated.

Nothing happened, which is enough to prove Barbatos's connections in Liyue.

Therefore, crossing the boundary by a mere 300 li is nothing.

That's not important. What's important is—

"There are still two more presences inside the tent!"

One of them he recognized was the little Qilin that Morax had raised back then, now the secretary and head butler of the Liyue Seven Stars.

"I remember calling him Gan Yu."

The other one I don't recognize has the aura of the True Lord of Cloud Retention and Wind Borrowing. Although he is human, he should also be considered a member of the immortals.
