Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Mount Ozura

Ganyu had already arrived, but Master Liuyun didn't seem to be at home.

Paimon came up with a good idea: "Our goal is to find the immortal, right? Although we can't hear the music now, since the immortal is so kind, he should help anyone who falls into the water, right?"

Ganyu nodded. Logically speaking, there should be no problem.

Paimon chuckled and pointed at Ying and said, "So, as long as this guy pretends to fall into the water, he can directly lure the immortal out!"

Ying was a little angry, and asked with her hands on her hips: "Why don't you try it yourself?"

Paimon explained pitifully, "You know I can't swim! I'll really sink!"

[Cole: Is Paimon going to rebel against the Traveler? ]

[Paimon: Huh? I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense]

[Ying: Great, you actually have such a heart! I love you in vain.]

[Paimeng: Videos cannot be taken seriously, and seeing is not necessarily believing! ]

[Yaegumi: In front of him is the True Lord who rolls down the mountain, and behind him is the True Lord who sinks into the water]

[Ganyu: Sister Shenzi, please don’t talk nonsense, I will be very angry! ]

[Sigwen: Can Paimon really not swim? Then who is the one who usually searches for treasure chests on the seabed with the travelers? ]

[Kaia: Why are you bringing up conspiracy theories again! ]

[Mona: I am really curious about Paimon's identity! Aren't you curious about a creature wearing a crown? ]

[Paimon: Living creature? You can’t use the word living creature to describe Paimon! ]

[Alice: The answer to this question can only be known at the end of the journey. Drink today and worry about tomorrow when it comes.]

...

Ying swam to the middle of the water and pretended to be drowning.

"Help - help - someone fell into the water - kind-hearted immortal, please come and rescue!" Paimon shouted loudly.

Suddenly, a green figure flashed by, and before Ying could see who it was, she was carried to the shore...

"What's going on?" Xiao asked calmly.

Shen He asked with concern: "How do you feel now?"

Ganyu looked at Shenhe and Xiao, not knowing what to say for a moment, and twisted her body.

Looking at Ganyu like this, Paimeng was really anxious!

"Okay, let me tell you. We are looking for an immortal who can play music and save people from drowning. But immortals may not stay in the cave obediently, and we may not be able to find out even if we go there..."

Xiao shook his head, the immortal was not talking about him.

Paimon: "I know, immortals should be women..."

Shen He kept looking at Ying, and then he said, "I am not an immortal, Ying and Paimon should know that."

Seeing that the atmosphere was so awkward, Paimeng took the initiative to admit his mistake. If he had known earlier, he would not have come up with such a stupid idea.

Ying: "I'm fine. Sorry to trouble you."

Xiao: "I'm glad you're okay. As far as I know, there's no one among the Yashas you're looking for. Besides... this is too worrying, don't try it again next time."

Watching Xiao leave, Shen He couldn't help but sigh: "The Great Sage who conquers demons still comes and goes like the wind."

Ganyu stammered in response: "Yes, yes... I don't even dare to answer without permission."

"Is Shen He's training going well lately? Do you have any plans for the Lantern Festival? Do you want to go back to Liyue Harbor to spend it together?"

I wanted to accompany Master this year, but…” Shen He looked at Ying meaningfully.

[Xiao Palace: From the moment Ms. Shen He appeared, her attention was focused on the traveler]

[Mona: Travelers’ physical condition can easily attract girls]

[Wulang: According to what you said, the Immortal Xiao is also paying attention to the Traveler]

[Ying'er: It seems that the Traveler's charm is really great, to the point where he is popular with both men and women. It's a pity that the flower has feelings but the water is ruthless.]

[Ying: Let me make one thing clear, I like pretty girls the most! But I am not unfaithful! ]

[Shen He: Well, I believe you]

[Navia: We are the best partners! ]

[Ying: Oh, I really have no resistance to pretty and gentle girls.]

【Keqing: Okay, okay, there's a sour smell. Where should True Lord Liuyun be now? 】

[Shen He: Master usually stays at home and rarely goes out. He is always highly focused on studying mechanical techniques. Even if someone calls out to him, he won't respond.]

[Xianyun: I have already settled in Liyue Harbor. If you have any questions, please come to me and chat with me.]

...

"Ah, speaking of Master Liuyun, when was the last time you saw her?"

Shen He said calmly, "I saw her today. She left early in the morning and headed towards Hulao Mountain. I saw her using magic to protect a boiler-shaped mechanism. Maybe she was sending it to Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun... I didn't ask any more questions."

Ganyu nodded, let Shenhe and the traveler chat first, and went to put the gift into the cave.

Paimon: "It sounds like Shen He and Gan Yu have become much closer!"

Shen He answered honestly, "I practiced with my master in winter and summer, and spent the rest of the time in Liyue Harbor [adapting to life on earth]. She arranged a place for me to live in the city and recommended several jobs to me... But when I imitated the people around her and called her [Senior Ganyu] or [Sister Ganyu], she refused."

“There are things you need to learn, and there are things you cannot learn. Don’t try to remember them.”

Ying patiently explained: "Ganyu doesn't like you to be polite with her. As for why you can't call her sister Ganyu, it's because she is shy."

Shen He seemed to understand, but he didn't quite understand, so he wrote it down silently.

"Speaking of which, the two of you want to see the master. Is it related to the immortal you are looking for?"

Paimon asked curiously, "Did Shen He hear any music when he was practicing in the mountains?"

Shen He was stunned. What is music? Can it be eaten? Will it cry if you hit it?

"It's the sound that makes you feel happy or relaxed! Uh... nervous... and scared sounds can also be counted..." Paimon gave Shen Heju an example.

At this moment, Ganyu came over and said, "I have already taken care of it. Zhenjun will be able to find us when he sees the message, so don't worry about missing it."

Seeing Ganyu coming over, Shen He couldn't help but say, "We were just talking about [Music]. If you're talking about this... I can hear it every day, please follow me."

...

Shen He brought them to a place, and it was worth noting that there was a Qingxin flower on the opposite cliff!

"We are here. I like to practice here with music on weekdays."

Paimon felt it carefully for a while, then panicked: "It's over, am I deaf? Why can't I hear anything!"

He nodded and said, "Yes, you are deaf!"

Shen He explained, "The sound of birds singing and water gurgling are relaxing sounds. Isn't that what you are looking for?"

Paimeng was stunned, and then he realized that he had not made it clear before. What they were looking for was not natural sounds, but melodies played by musical instruments.

Shen He still didn't quite understand, what did melody mean?

Seeing this, Ying asked Paimeng to sing a nursery rhyme!

Paimeng said angrily: "Don't treat me like a child! Humph, I can sing nursery rhymes, but I can't do whatever you tell me to do! I say, why don't you sing the one that Shen He has heard! It will help her understand better..."

Ying nodded, hoping not to attract the Pian Pian Hua.

“A high-pitched song may not be unknown to others, as it will always have its connoisseur and poet.”

[Kaia: A medical miracle! The traveler speaks again!]

[Ying: My fist is hard! ]

[Amber: This must be a fake Honor Knight! He didn't attract any tricks! It doesn't make sense!]

[Ying: Where did this come from? At that time in Liyue, singing Mondstadt's songs would definitely attract scammers. Look, I sang the song of the Goddess Splitting the Guan, and nothing happened.]

[Keqing: @System, why can we only hear Paimon's voice, but rarely the Traveler's voice? ]

[System: That’s because she’s a mute and only speaks occasionally]

[Ying: I convince people with reason! ]

[System: In order to save money, Mihoyo Company didn’t give you any empty lines, so I silenced you.

[Ying: Warriors, follow me to raid the Mihoyo computer room! Save my voice! ]

[Kaeya: Sora, you didn't say a word! ]

...

Shen He was a little confused. Isn't this the opera that Yun Jin sang before?

Paimon: "This melody can be called music."

Shen He touched his conscience and savored it carefully: "It seems to take me back to the past. When I close my eyes, the sky full of lanterns will appear before my eyes. It seems that I am with everyone again, drinking in the Qun Yu Pavilion... When I watched Yun Jin's performance, I felt very warm in my chest, and the glass of wine became warm in my stomach... Today, when I listen to you singing again, this feeling is still the same.

It turns out that music has such power.”

Paimeng didn't expect that Shenhe would have more experience than himself! Music can make people recall many things, as if it condenses all the special times they have experienced!

"What about Ganyu? Do you remember any memorable melodies?"

Ganyu said with some regret: "I don't remember whether my parents sang a lullaby for me. Apart from the local folk songs of Liyue, what I can still recall are... the singing of sailors at the dock, the hawking of vendors at the door of old shops, and the singing of folk artists on the streets... Whenever I heard these melodies in the past, I always felt that they were far away from me."

"To the vast majority of people, I am considered a [non-human being], so... I cannot understand human art and emotions very well, and cannot integrate into their lives. At least that's what I always thought. Later, I vaguely felt that those were like constraints I set up subjectively."

"The feelings those melodies bring to me are not much different from those they bring to others. The rising and setting of the sun, the daily necessities of life, the warmth and coldness of life... Even if we come from different backgrounds, even if everyone has their own story... But the most ordinary moments in life, the things we see and hear while walking in the city... are actually the same."

Paimeng took the opportunity to enlighten Ganyu, asking her to take this step earlier and make more friends.

Shen He also roughly understood what friends meant. Although in terms of seniority, they should address each other as senior and junior sisters, Gan Yu and Shen He were more like friends.

"When spring comes and flowers bloom, Ganyu will call Keqing to come to my house. I have planted all kinds of flowers, and there will definitely be one you like."

Ganyu blushed and felt a little embarrassed.

"Friends don't have to do this. I'll follow your instructions on how to cultivate and maintain the plants. You can test it yourself. I'll be able to grow better plants next time."

.......

Seeing Ganyu and Shenhe counseling each other, Paimeng couldn't bear to interrupt and could only complain to Ying: "It's obviously a party for girls, but they also agreed to eat flowers together... Should I say that he is worthy of being the disciple brought up by the fairy bird?"

At this moment, an ethereal voice with an echo came: "Humph! Who is so bold as to call me a fairy bird instead of my fairy name?"

That’s right, the person who came was the legendary woman—the one who is good at chatting!

Paimeng pointed at Master Liuyun and said, "It appears! This is it, a giant fairy bird that descended from the sky!"

[Kaia: Wow, Master Liuyun has one more nickname]

[Nashida: That woman, that fairy bird, the chatterbox, and the inventor, if I remember correctly, it should be these four.]

[Paimon: Hehe, I still think that woman is suitable for her. She sounds very mysterious.]

【Xianyun: Humph! I won’t argue with you】

[Ying: Alas, ever since I saw Master Liuyun in human form, I have no sexual interest in her in this fairy bird form.]

[Yan Fei: I always feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it]

[Alice: Sexual interest! Oh my, this is incredible.]

[Keli: Mom, what is sexual interest?]

[Nashida: Nashida also wants to know]

[Alice: These are all taboo knowledge, children are not allowed to know them]

[Paimon: Shocked! Nashida is in contact with forbidden knowledge! ]

[Nacida: Nacida doesn’t know]

...

"You even dared to say [this] instead of [this person]! Ha, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more and more arrogant. I am too lazy to teach you a lesson! I have received Ganyu's message. I also know who you are looking for."

"How about it? Do you want to come with me?"

Ying nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Master!"

Shen He: "I still have some training to do today, so I won't go with Master and the others."

Seeing Shen He's diligent attitude, Master Liu Yun was very pleased and couldn't help but remind him, "Come back to the mansion later and wait for me. It's a rare festival, so you can eat as much as you want."

Ying: "Shenhe, happy Lantern Festival."

Ganyu: "If you want to release the Sky Lantern, you are always welcome to come back."

Shen He nodded: "Thank you, and happy Lantern Festival."

Then he left humming the tune of the Goddess Splitting the View.
