Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

The woman stretched out a finger and placed it on the wound that had just been cut by Ying. Her fingertips emitted a faint light, and the bloodstain quickly disappeared.

However, Ying did not feel sorry for hurting the other person. She patted her shoulders, and a ball of cold flame suddenly appeared in that empty place. It was quickly extinguished by the slap of Ying's palm with the element of thunder.

"Compared with Sui Yang, you behave very unfriendly." Ying said coldly.

The moment she got the cane, she realized that the one using mental attack on her was not a monster, but a being hiding in the dark.

After getting rid of the monster, she had enough energy to observe the surrounding situation and discovered the existence of this woman.

The woman healed the wound on her arm. There was no trace of anger or embarrassment on her pale face, and she even had a faint smile:

"My name is Nian Ming, and I am an immortal from the Tianyun Sect."

She said this briefly as an introduction to herself, and then she continued:

"You misunderstood, fellow Daoist. If I really wanted to harm you, I would have just worked with those monsters to deal with you. Why would I just stop at disturbing your consciousness?"

"Then you can try." Ying and Nianming confronted each other, "Let's see whether you hurt me first, or I purify the evil spirit in your body first."

Ying stretched out her hand towards Nianming, then clenched it into a fist. Nianming narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw this, but did not respond immediately. After a moment, she spoke:

"I said, this is a misunderstanding. I just want to understand the strength of my partners."

"Partner?"

"Our goal is to break the restriction at the bottom of the lake, right? In that case, we can naturally be considered partners."

Ying shrugged but didn't say anything.

"Besides, you just ruined my plan, so it's normal for me to feel a little resentful."

"Plan?" Ying tilted her head slightly and looked at the town in the firelight. "You also replaced someone's heart?"

"Let me guess: after you replace a townsman's heart, that person will behave differently from his original self. Although such behavior will be considered abnormal by the bottom of the lake, at the same time, the 'heart' that supports his behavior comes from a townsman recognized by the bottom of the lake."

"In this case, the lake bottom will tacitly allow the existence of this anomaly, but this anomaly will affect other people. More and more townspeople will be affected, and eventually the entire town will be caught in the anomaly, forcing the lake to repair everything."

"What you want is to destroy the restriction while the lake is repairing everything and has no time to take care of other things, right?"

"Prohibition is also part of the lake."

clap clap!

Nianming suddenly clapped his hands and looked at Ying with a smile in his eyes.

"Very close, but I didn't expect you to be able to discover this in such a short time."

Under Ying's vigilant gaze, Nianming stretched out his hand to her and continued:

"In that case, I will formally invite you. I hope to cooperate with you. Breaking the ban is not an easy task. Sui Yang and I also hope to have more helpers."

The two sides had the same goal, and this goal would make the immortals in the town their common enemy. Logically, Ying should not reject the other party, but Ying just looked at the other party's outstretched hand and did not make any movement. Instead, she asked:

"After breaking the ban, what are you going to do?"

“I think Sui Yang has already told you that the existence in the restriction prevents us from leaving here, and the lake water will continue to assimilate us. As time goes on, I’m afraid even bigger problems will arise.

We want to leave this lake, not only to save our own lives, but also to prevent another disaster from appearing and harming the world."

Nian Ming's voice was gentle, and his pale face actually revealed a hint of deep worry as he spoke these words. He did not seem to be lying.

Then, she said:

"As for the demonic energy in our bodies, I have also thought about this. Since the thing at the bottom of the lake can keep us sane, as long as we get that thing, the influence of the demonic energy in our bodies will naturally disappear. We can even use that thing to rescue more monks who have been possessed by demons."

Hearing this, Ying smiled:

"In that case, I happen to have the ability to purify the evil spirit. To be honest, I'm not sure how deeply you've been affected by the evil spirit, and I don't believe everything you say. Why don't I purify the evil spirit in your body first, and then we can talk about it."

"Haha, your worries are justified. In that case..." Nianming's eyes met Ying's, and there seemed to be some strange color flashing in his eyes. Unfortunately, Ying could not see her inner thoughts from the other's eyes.

"Then please help me remove the evil spirit." After Nian Ming finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to Ying again. Her fingers were slender, but her fingertips were a little sickly pale. Unlike her complexion, this white color carried a breath of death.

"Hmph." Ying snorted lightly and directly held the other person's hand. She instantly felt a decadent and crazy breath starting from her fingertips, constantly melting and collapsing, until the demonic energy that permeated Nianming completely disappeared, and this feeling dissipated.

During this process, Ying suddenly felt that the surroundings seemed to have become a lot darker. She saw with the corner of her eye that the town, which was originally burning with a big fire, had returned to its original state in an instant, and the whole town had returned to its former tranquility.

But only Ying knows what a terrifying monster this seemingly peaceful town actually is.

"It's so scary." Nian Ming was still staring at Ying. Her skin had regained its color, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

"Don't you think it's scary that the lake can do this in an instant? I'm really worried that one day it will swallow up everything."

Ying focused her attention on Nianming again, and after confirming that the evil spirit in her body had completely disappeared, she asked:

"It seems that the evil spirit in your body has been cleared. Now tell me what your plan is."

Nian Ming smiled slightly:

“Haha, I said that the thing in the center of the lake can keep me sane, so even if there is no demonic energy, my thoughts will not change. However, without the demonic energy in my body, I do feel a lot more comfortable!”

As he spoke, Nianming stretched comfortably and let out a hearty moan.

But she could still clearly feel Ying's suspicious gaze, so she continued:

"I want to break the restriction at the bottom of the lake, take the treasure out, and help more monks who have been possessed by demons."

"Are you satisfied?"

Ying nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you are indeed fine... Then do you want to come to Dixian's town? My friends are all there, and we can discuss the next course of action there."

"No need for that. You've got this town back to its original state. I have to start my work here all over again. I'll come back to you when I'm done."

"No problem," Ying did not refuse, "Then come find us again when the time comes."

After saying that, Ying turned around and left without looking back.

When Ying's figure disappeared in the distance, Nianming's smiling face suddenly collapsed like torn paper. With a "ripping" sound, "Nianming" actually turned into a pile of debris. A stream of lake water flowed by, taking away the debris and completely assimilated it.

And at the place where "Nian Ming" had just stood, the shadow under her feet began to twist and eventually turned into another "Nian Ming".

No, perhaps this is the real Nian Ming.

Her skin still had that pale color, and there seemed to be some strange light flowing in her eyes. She grinned slightly, and a crack appeared from her lips and spread to her ears.

"It can actually purify the evil spirit. What a tricky 'helper'."
