Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was an obvious knock on the door outside the empty room, which made Ying's hair stand on end. The flickering fire in the stove beside her seemed to have become dimmer, and a cold and dark feeling filled the dilapidated little house.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking on the door became more rapid and clearer, which made Ying sure that what she just heard was not an illusion.

She was just about to ask Guiyan if she heard the knock on the door, but she turned around and saw Guiyan standing up and walking towards the door with confidence.

"and many more!"

Ying had an ominous premonition in her heart. She was worried that Guiyan would open the door directly and let the abnormality outside enter the house directly.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Gui Yan heard Ying's voice and turned her head slightly to look at Ying and asked, but her feet did not stop moving.

She came to the door, but did not reach out to push it. Instead, she kicked it directly with her foot.

"boom!"

"Squeak-"

The door was kicked with a loud noise at first, and this kick naturally kicked the door open. The following sound was the sound of the kicked door being blown back to its original position by the wind, which sounded like the door screaming.

"Uh……"

Ying was stunned.

After doing this, Guiyan returned to Ying with her almost unchanged smile.

"Who was knocking on the door just now?"

"Ah? I don't know either." Gui Yan scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Hehe, I guess it's some ghosts, monsters or something like that."

"Ghost? Monster?"

"..." Ying was silent. It’s not like she had never seen a ghost before, but the thing outside the door just now gave her an uncomfortable feeling. It was obviously hostile. Wasn’t she worried about encountering danger if she went straight to provoke the other party?

"Huh!"

But just as Ying was thinking, Guiyan leaned back on the hard bed and became lazy again. After a long while, she straightened up and shouted:

"what!"

"What's wrong?" Ying, who was already worried, immediately took a defensive stance.

"I forgot that you came from another world, so you may not understand many things." Gui Yan raised his hand and pointed at the door, and continued:

"The ones outside the door just now must be ghosts or monsters, but they are definitely not powerful, otherwise they wouldn't knock on the door. If we open the door directly at this time, we will definitely be harmed by them."

"But the elders in my family also said that these little ghosts and monsters are timid. As long as you behave a little bit more fiercely, they will be afraid of you and will not dare to harm you."

"So you either don't open the door, or scare them away. But now it's dark and we're going to sleep soon. I can't stand them knocking all the time, so I just scared them away."

"So that's how it is." Ying nodded, and understood Guiyan's behavior just now, but she continued to ask: "What about the powerful monsters and ghosts? Will they come in directly without knocking?"

"Not necessarily... I haven't seen them either, but I heard they have to abide by the rules and can't just come in casually."

"Hehe, don't worry, I've lived here alone for several months and haven't encountered any danger." After Gui Yan said this, she leaned down again.

"What about your family and friends? Why are you alone?" Ying asked, but she regretted the moment she said it. Combining the situation in this world and Gui Yan's performance, Ying almost realized the answer to this question.

But unexpectedly, Guiyan responded: "They, they should still be in the village."

"Ok?"

In the village?

Ying became more and more confused.

"Then why don't you stay with them? Living alone in..." Ying said, her eyes scanning the holes in the house.

“…Living in a place like this.”

"They made me run away. They said everyone was possessed by evil spirits and asked me to find an immortal to save us. But I couldn't find one. Besides, the farther we were from the village, the more monsters there were outside. I didn't know where to find an immortal."

Having said this, Guiyan showed a sad expression for the first time.

She moved closer to Ying, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Are you an immortal?"

Gui Yan had asked this question when they first met, but at that time she was just guessing, and now, she was acting more like a plea.

"I am not an immortal..."

Ying originally wanted to say that she knew some immortals, such as Xiao, and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and others, but then she changed her mind and realized that she didn't know how to bring them here, nor was she sure whether she should bring them here, so as not to give Guiyan unnecessary hope, which would then turn into greater despair.

"Oh, I see." Gui Yan did not show disappointment when she heard the answer. Instead, she returned to her original smile, then lay down on the hard bed and patted the empty space beside her.

"Okay, it's getting dark, let's go to bed."

Ying was stunned at first, but then she thought that there was only one bed in the room and no extra bedding, so the two of them could only squeeze together.

However, just as Ying stood up, a discordant sound came from her.

"Gululu~"

The sound was not loud, but in this quiet and desolate place, in this dilapidated hut with only two people, the sound was particularly obvious.

"puff!"

"Pfft hahaha!"

As if she had encountered something particularly funny, Gui Yan burst into laughter, breaking the almost constant smile on her face. She laughed so hard that her eyes narrowed, and even a few tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Is it so funny?" Ying muttered softly, feeling a little embarrassed. Under normal circumstances, Paimon's stomach would have growled with hunger before she herself was hungry, so how come it was her turn for her stomach to make a sound.

"It's not funny, not funny." Gui Yan said this, but he couldn't stop laughing.

After several minutes, she recovered and apologized to Ying, saying:

"I'm sorry, you've been unconscious for a whole day and haven't eaten anything. I should have thought that you were hungry."

After saying that, Gui Yan pulled Ying to his side.

"But I don't have anything to eat here. I have to wait until morning and go out to look for it. I know there is a fruit tree nearby with a lot of fruits on it."

"I'll have to inconvenience you tonight."

"Okay." Ying sighed and decided to fall asleep as soon as possible so that she wouldn't be hungry when she fell asleep.

But in the middle of the night, Ying woke up again.

But hunger was only part of the reason. She woke up more because she was worried about the safety around her and couldn't sleep well.

Now that she was awake, even if she didn't plan to go out, she wanted to check the house carefully. The most important thing was the holes in the house. Who knew if anything could get in through those holes.

Just when Ying wanted to get up, she found herself being held tightly by a pair of arms.

A warm feeling came from her side. No wonder she didn't feel cold even though the fire in the stove in the room had gone out.

Ying tilted her head slightly and looked at Guiyan, and found that this girl who had always been smiling showed a painful expression after falling asleep.

However, after Ying stopped moving, her expression quickly relaxed, and finally, she smiled again.

This smile was completely different from the one when she was awake. The corners of her mouth were raised, and there seemed to be a faint laugh.

Just by looking at it, Ying felt an inexplicable sense of security, but in just a moment, sadness welled up in Ying's eyes again.

"I'm sorry," Ying said in her heart, "I didn't give you hope."
