Genshin Impact: The Great Evil Dragon’s Death System

Chapter 978 The Pianist in the Desert

Candice brought Jing Fantian to the top of the highest mountain in Aru Village, from where one could overlook the vast desert and even the Red King's Mausoleum in the distance.

The sun gently brushes across the rolling sand dunes, dyeing the entire desert with a faint golden glow. The lines of the sand dunes are soft and smooth.

A gust of wind blew, and the desert in Jing Fantian's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of golden waves, layer after layer, extending to the horizon.

The desert, this seemingly desolate vast land contains endless charm and displays the most primitive magnificence of nature in its own unique way.

Jing Fantian found a dead tree and sat down, quietly admiring the beauty of the desert: "I once thought about conquering this place, but at a glance, I couldn't find any opponents, and I lacked the pleasure of conquering."

Candice thought, with Jing Fantian's strength, even the little auspicious grass king couldn't do anything to him, so only the reborn red king could deal with him!

Candice also sat down: "There are many opponents. There are countless descendants of the Red King hidden in the vast desert. They will not let anyone disturb the peace of the Red King, even you, the Dragon King."

Jing Fantian sighed, "I'm tired of fighting and killing, not to mention the desert is bare. I get bored after looking at it for a long time. Candice, you have lived in the desert for so many years. Do you feel bored? Have you ever wanted to go out?"

"..."

Candice was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "A guardian will not leave the one he is protecting. As long as there are still people in the village, I will not leave here."

Jing Fantian found the most comfortable position and lay down. He felt a little sorry for the girl.

"When you open your eyes, all you see is yellow sand. When you close your eyes, all you see are the same people and things. Don't you feel bored?"

Candice shook her head: "I'm not bored. I became the guardian of Aru Village when I was 8 years old. As long as I protect Aru Village, I won't be bored."

Jing Fantian looked at the serious Candice and really wanted to hold her in his arms and take good care of her. What a good girl.

"Guardian sounds nice, but in reality, it's just a security guard. Candice, you've been a security guard since you were 8 years old, so you've saved yourself decades of detours!"

"security guard?"

Candice was a little confused.

Jing Fantian explained: "The community guardians in the city are commonly known as gatekeepers. Of course, they only watch the gates and run away when there is trouble. Anyway, it is enough to ensure that the gates are there."

"Candice, it's enough for you to make sure the gate to Aru Village is still there. There's no need to be so serious."

Candice smiled as she listened to Jing Fantian's description.

They sat there until the sun set, and Jing Fantian slowly leaned his head on Candice's thighs.

Candice pressed his head and reminded him: "The desert at dusk is a completely different scene!"

Jing Fantian turned his head to look.

The setting sun was as red as blood, dyeing the sky a brilliant orange-red. The afterglow sprinkled on the sand dunes, lengthening the shadows.

As night fell, the temperature in the desert dropped rapidly. The cool breeze took away the scorching heat of the day. The desert became gentle and quiet, as if whispering an ancient and distant story.

After taking a few glances, Jing Fantian looked at the most beautiful scenery, Candice's face.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Candice's face, and she seemed to be covered with a layer of holy afterglow. The Eye of Horus on her forehead was also shining, and the exotic style immediately touched Jing Fantian.

As I looked at her, I unconsciously shifted my gaze to her chest.

He slowly went forward.

"Resentment from Candice, +100 constellation points."

Candice stood up, Jing Fantian staggered and turned over, and had an intimate kiss with the earth.

Candice walked down the mountain.

Jing Fantian wiped the sand from his mouth and followed: "Candice, do you have any wish?"

"Wish? No, if I have one, it's that I hope Aru Village can continue forever."

Jing Fantian held her hand and said, "No, that's not it. You were looking in the direction of the Red King's Mausoleum. You wanted to pay homage to the Red King's mausoleum, right?"

Candice broke free from Jing Fantian's hand and looked in the direction of the Red King's Mausoleum.

The Mausoleum of the Red King is the first wonder of Mount Xumi. Also, because Aru Village is a plateau and the Mausoleum of the Red King is built like a mountain, Candice can see the Mausoleum of the Red King here.

Jing Fantian talked about Candice's restrictions: "Does the guardian have a restriction to protect Aru Village for a lifetime, so you can't leave the village to visit the Red King's Tomb."

"..."

Candice was silent for a while and then shook her head: "No, it's just my personal rule. Guardians are not prohibited from leaving the village."

"It's just that the world outside the village is boundless and has no end at a glance. I'm afraid I'll get lost in it."

When Dixia comes to Candice's house, she often talks about what she has seen and heard in the outside world. Candice would slowly pour a cup of tea and listen, and sometimes she would envy Dixia's wonderful life.

But it's just envy.

The retired guardians of the village all opposed Candice's decision to open the village.

In recent years, many young people could not stand the boring and poor life in Aru Village and went to Xumi City to pursue a more material life.

The radical conservatives saw it and felt pain in their hearts.

If this continues, the village will soon be left with only a group of old people.

In response to this, Candice's change was to develop the village as quickly as possible and make all the villagers prosperous so that no one would abandon their wealthy hometown.

Candice is not an old woman who is indifferent to the world. She is still a young girl and she also envies the world on the other side of the mountain.

But she had a responsibility and could not leave the village and abandon her mission as a guardian.

Jing Fantian felt that she was like a pianist on the sea, somewhat curious about the world on land, but also afraid of the dazzling temptations.

"Come on, today I must grant you a wish, this is my reward for your hospitality."

"Your Highness..."

Jing Fantian grabbed Candice's hand and turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Red King's Mausoleum.

Candice does not have wings of wind and the ability to fly, so she can only be manipulated by Jing Fantian in the air.

It was a little uncomfortable to hold her while flying, so Jing Fantian simply put one hand on her waist and the other on her legs and carried her flying.

Candice felt very uncomfortable and tried to break free but was unable to do so because she was in mid-air.

She has a very strong character and would never show the shyness of a little girl.

However, this discomfort soon dissipated, and Jing Fantian flew at full speed and soon arrived at the Red King's Mausoleum.

It just happened to be dark.

The Mausoleum of the Red King is located in the heart of the vast desert, like an isolated island in the river of time, quietly telling the vicissitudes and glory of thousands of years.

The silver moonlight shines on the stone walls of the mausoleum, covering this ancient building with a mysterious and solemn veil.
