Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Old Chen gave birth! A big fat boy!"

"Old Chen! Why did you just leave like that? Ah ah! Why did you leave?"

Ying, Guiyan and Gu Ling followed Chen Juan to the west side of the town. It was the house of a wealthy family. Although it was not as big as Chen Juan's house, it was beautifully decorated and had many people. Today, many people gathered here.

Some people come here to celebrate, while others come here to mourn.

One group of people were congratulating Old Chen for giving birth to a boy, while another group was mourning Old Chen's death due to childbirth complications.

For Ying, whether it is celebrating a new life or mourning a death, these are not what she cares about most now. What she cares about is that this Lao Chen is a man.

He is a man in his sixties, who can be considered a grandfather.

But she suddenly gave birth to a child and then died.

Regardless of whether the townspeople found this strange or not, Ying at least felt it was strange. What was even stranger was that these townspeople all accepted it.

The person who was happily celebrating the birth of the baby in the previous second ran to the portrait of Lao Chen and began to cry with the saddest expression he could make in his life.

Among these people, Ying also saw the naked foreman, Brother Zhu who was beating Lao Chen's body, and Lao Chen's wife who was there, dissecting the body bit by bit with a knife.

What Lao Chen's wife did made it impossible for Ying to tell how the child was born from Lao Chen's body.

She didn't think that this could be accomplished simply by replacing a heart, but why did the lake still define it as "normal" even though it had become like this?

Suddenly, Ying felt a pain in her arm. She looked in the direction of the pain, only to find Chen Juan taking her hand away from her arm with a gloomy face.

Her actions were very obvious, and Ying could tell at a glance that it was Chen Juan who had just pinched her, but Chen Juan narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a look of denial, but she said nothing.

Ying sighed in her heart. She didn't know when Chen Juan's heart had been replaced. She used to be warm and kind-hearted, but now no one knew what she was thinking. She liked to pinch those people who lived in the mansion whenever she had nothing to do.

However, compared with the abnormalities of other people, Chen Juan is considered normal.

The celebration for Lao Chen's children and the mourning for Lao Chen ended quickly, and the townspeople quickly devoted themselves to their next activities.

However, these activities are no longer the normal behaviors of the past.

The market in the town was in a mess. Over the past few days, the foreman had been acting like a madman. Nothing in the town was shipped out anymore, and nothing from outside the town was delivered in anymore.

Some people must have become irritable. They have been smashing, looting and burning in the market. In the beginning, they asked the foreman to transport supplies, and later they asked everyone passing by the market to obey them. After that, no one knew what their demands were.

Now the market has become the most chaotic place in the whole town, but even so, Chen Juan still insisted on passing the market and returning to the house.

But when they were still dozens of meters away from the market, Ying saw a "person" with a bamboo pole piercing his body.

He was the foreman's subordinate and the first target of the people at the market for venting their anger. However, even after suffering such fatal injuries, he was not dead yet. He even greeted Ying and the others with a smile when he saw them approaching.

It was just because the bamboo pole pierced his mouth, so Ying and the others didn't hear clearly what the other party said. Instead, Chen Juan greeted the other party with a smile, and pinched the other party's eyes with her hands.

The eye was already rotten, and Chen Juan didn't even use any force before the eye turned into a pool of pus that flowed all over her hand.

"Hahaha!" Chen Juan seemed to be in a good mood after pinching her eyes. She continued to walk into the market with a smile, while Ying and the others looked at each other and hesitated.

Unexpectedly, in just a short while, less than three seconds, Chen Juan noticed their hesitation. She squinted her eyes and looked at Ying and the other three. Although she didn't say anything, Ying could clearly feel her anger, as if Ying's disobedience to her was some kind of unforgivable crime.

"Child, be obedient, understand?"

"Isn't this the road we always take? Why did you suddenly stop taking this road?"

Chen Juan walked up to Ying and Gu Ling and grabbed their shoulders with her hands, her sharp nails piercing directly into their skin.

Gu Ling's body is strong and Chen Juan's nails cannot hurt her. Although Ying's body is not as strong as Chen Juan's, she will not be injured. However, the pain is still unavoidable.

Guiyan was protected by Ying behind her. She held Ying's hand. What happened in these days was constantly testing her will. She held on through it all. However, compared to the weirdness of strangers and bad guys, the changes that took place in a kind person like Chen Juan were what shocked her the most.

"What should we do? Ying, how about we just run out?" Gui Yan whispered in Ying's ear, but before Ying could answer, Ling Yue responded in her mind:

"No, the restrictions in the lake have changed again. The town and the outside are very different. I'm afraid that even if we go out, the identities given to us will not disappear. At that time, the townspeople will be suspicious of our sudden departure from the town. In that case, everything we have done before will be in vain."

"It has come to this, why are we considered abnormal for just running out of the town, but they, they are considered normal for doing this?" Gui Yan almost shouted out loud, but fortunately she closed her lips in time.

"Because we want to destroy the restrictions here, the lake water will naturally target us."

Ying sighed and tightly grasped Guiyan's hand, hoping that this would bring some strength to the other party. At the same time, he said to Chen Juan:

"Mother Chen, I just saw a mouse, so I was stunned for a moment. Of course we have to leave, and we leave now."

"Where are the rats?!" Chen Juan's aura suddenly changed. She widened her eyes and put her face in front of Ying. Ying could even see the bloodshot in her eyes.

"Don't try to play any tricks. I gave you a place to live. I adopted you. You all have to listen to me. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Chen Juan distanced herself from Ying again and swept her eyes across Gui Yan and Gu Ling. The threat in her eyes was self-evident.

"Understood!"

Chen Juan called out again, and Ying and Guiyan had no choice but to nod. Only Gu Ling, Ying did not hear her response, and quickly looked at her.

Gu Ling's eyes were red at this time. She pursed her lips and didn't say anything. After feeling Ying's gaze, a look of pain appeared on her face.

"I do not want……"

When Gu Ling said this, Ying had a bad feeling in her heart.

"If this is the only way to break the ban, I'd rather not do it!"

Oh no, this will make Chen Juan notice something unusual!

Ying was shocked and tried to stop Gu Ling from continuing speaking. At the same time, she looked at Chen Juan, hoping to minimize the impact of Gu Ling's words.

But the strange thing is that Chen Juan's face did not show doubt or surprise because of Gu Ling's words, it was another kind of emotion -

It was excitement and joy.

"Hahaha, you said it! You finally said it!"

what? !

Ying was startled, and a terrible guess emerged in her mind. But this time, she didn't need to confirm it at all, because in her sight, in the chaotic market, all the people in the town were gathered together.

In just a moment, before she could even react, those people suddenly appeared.

"What is the ban?"

"What weird things are you talking about?"

"No? Why did I become like this?"

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?"

Ying gave up the idea of ​​stopping Gu Ling, because Gu Ling was also in chaos because of the townspeople who suddenly appeared around her, but Ying still said to her:

"Gu Ling, the people in this town have long been dead. What you and I see now are just illusions created by the lake."

"I know they look real, like real flesh-and-blood people."

“But there is no way to change the facts.”

After Ying finished speaking, she looked at Chen Juan again. She took out the black sword directly. At the same time, Ling Yue also controlled Gui Yan's body and walked to her side.

"This should be considered our official meeting."

"You are the will of this lake."
