Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

After a moment of silence, the doctor looked at Su Xun deeply.

Su Xun looked at the doctor warily, without relaxing his grip on the spear.

But the doctor did not do anything else. Instead, he turned around and said to Alexi: "Destroy all the data and samples, take the device, and let's get out of here."

Alexei was stunned, but he didn't dare to object and quickly carried out the doctor's order.

The Fatui began to get busy, destroying all the experimental data and samples one by one. The entire laboratory gradually became empty, and even the giant device was dismantled.

Su Xun and Chongyun looked at each other. Is the doctor going to retreat?

After the Fatui had packed up everything, the Doctor walked up to Su Xun and smiled faintly.

"What is your name?"

Su Xun was silent for a moment, then said, "Su Xun."

"Su Xun... Very good, I recognize your strength. Today is not a suitable time for a conversation. I hope you can satisfy me next time we meet."

The doctor's voice echoed in the laboratory, and then he turned and walked towards the passage, his figure gradually disappearing into the shadows.

Su Xun and Chongyun stood quietly in the laboratory, watching the Doctor and the Fatui leave.

As the enemy's footsteps gradually faded away, the atmosphere in the laboratory slowly calmed down.

"Doctor...Dottore..."

After muttering something, Su Xun came back to his senses and retracted the spear in his hand.

Seeing this, Chongyun slowly sheathed his sword.

"Su Xun, what should we do next?" Chongyun broke the silence.

Su Xun turned his gaze to the experimental subject on the experimental table. "Let's first check if that person is okay, then check if there are any dangerous things left in this place, and then we'll leave here."

In front of Su Xun, the doctor naturally would not take the experimental subject away. After all, Su Xun would definitely not agree.

Chongyun nodded without objection.

The two men walked over and carefully checked the condition of the experimental subject. After confirming that he was not in immediate danger of life, Chongyun carefully carried him on his back.

Su Xun began to check other areas in the laboratory.

He walked to the location of the giant device, squatted down, and looked at the abnormally dark soil on the ground with a frown.

"The concentration of demon residue is so high..."

What exactly does the doctor want to do by collecting high concentrations of demon residue? Isn't he afraid of losing control? If he really loses control, it will be difficult for him to deal with it with his strength as a slice.

He is truly a mad scientist, so crazy!

After thinking for a moment, Su Xun stood up and began to cast a spell to gather the dark soil into a ball, put it into a large container, and then put it into the storage jade gourd.

After checking carefully again and finding no dangerous power left, Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go," Su Xun said to Chongyun, "This place is no longer dangerous."

"Okay!" Chongyun responded. For some reason, his pure yang body could not suppress the cold and gloomy air here.

Therefore, even though there were no more Fatui here, he still felt very depressed and wanted to get back outside as soon as possible.

The two quickly left the laboratory and returned to the outside world.

It was already late at night, the night sky was dotted with stars, and the moon cast its silver light, covering the earth with a layer of mysterious veil.

After putting the person on his back on the ground, Chongyun took a deep breath of fresh air and felt much better.

Then he looked at Su Xun and couldn't help but ask, "Su Xun, do you know what the purpose of the Fatui is?"

"I guess they might want to inject the demon residue into this person to create some kind of powerful biological weapon."

Su Xun glanced at the man on the ground. He was skinny and his body was covered with dense black scales, which made people shudder.

This is a symptom of Demonic Scale Disease... So this person is a Xumi person?

"Biological weapons!" Chongyun took a breath of cold air.

"So the scales on this person's body are the influence of the demon's remnants?"

"No, this is a disease that only Xumi people suffer from. It's called Demonic Scale Disease."

"Demon scale disease? Can this person be cured?" Chongyun couldn't help but ask worriedly.

Su Xun frowned slightly, "Let me try..."

He transformed the Wanhua Fazhu into the shape of a jade pendant and then input spiritual power into it.

Driven by Su Xun's spiritual power, the jade beads began to emit a faint light. Su Xun placed the jade beads on the man's forehead.

Disappointingly, although the power of the jade pendant made the man's expression much more relaxed, the black scales did not disappear and the man was still unconscious.

"How could this happen?" Chongyun looked at Su Xun, his eyes full of confusion.

Su Xun was not too surprised. He knew that Demon Scale Disease was not an ordinary disease. The source of this disease was that the World Tree was contaminated by forbidden knowledge. It could not be completely cured and could only be suppressed.

"Take this man back to Liyue Harbor and hand him over to the General Affairs Department. This disease cannot be cured in Liyue, so we can only send him back to Xumi for treatment." Su Xun did not explain. This problem could not be explained in a few words.

Chongyun nodded. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he did not ask any more questions.

Without further delay, the two of them quickly left the ruins with the man and returned to Liyue Harbor, where they handed him over to the General Affairs Department and briefly explained the situation.

This matter concerns the Fatui and also involves citizens of other countries. The Liyue top leaders naturally attach great importance to this matter, but this is no longer the business of Su Xun and Chongyun.

After finishing their work, they left the General Affairs Department directly.

Under the starlight, the two walked on the streets of Liyue Harbor. It was late at night, but the port was still as prosperous as ever.

The shops on both sides of the street emit warm lights, and the sea breeze blows, bringing the salty smell of sea water.

"Okay, don't worry too much. The General Affairs Department will take good care of that person." Su Xun smiled and patted Chongyun's shoulder.

"Okay..." Chongyun nodded. Although he was still worried about the physical condition of this Xumi man, he also knew that they had done everything they could now.

"By the way, Chongyun, why didn't you look for Xingqiu first about this matter today, but came to me instead?" Su Xun suddenly remembered a question and looked at Chongyun in confusion.

"Xingqiu has gone on a business trip with his family's guild. He won't be back for a few days." Chongyun replied with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Su Xun suddenly realized that this was the case. Xingqiu's family business was busy, and although most of it was managed by his father and eldest brother, sometimes he, the second young master, was needed to step forward to handle some matters.

"Okay, now that it's over, let's go back and rest." Su Xun said to Chongyun.

Chongyun nodded, "Thank you for your help today."

Su Xun smiled and patted his shoulder. "Why be polite between friends? Let's go."

In fact, he was quite grateful that Chongyun came to him for help, otherwise it would be dangerous for him to deal with the doctor alone.

After saying that, Su Xun walked towards his residence.

Looking at Su Xun's back, Chongyun smiled slightly and turned away.

……

"Squeak--" As the gate of the courtyard opened, several women who were still chatting in the yard immediately heard the sound and looked over.

Seeing Su Xun coming back, Hu Tao couldn't help but stand up and throw herself into his arms.

"Su Xun, you're back!"

Looking at the girl in his arms with eyes full of him, Su Xun felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He patted Hu Walnut's head gently and asked with a smile, "Well, what's wrong? You missed me after just a short while?"

Hu Tao wrinkled her nose and snorted, "It's not just a moment, it's been several hours!"

Su Xun smiled helplessly, "Okay, it's my fault for keeping you waiting for so long."

As he said that, he walked towards Yingmei and Shenhe holding Hu Tao.

"Where is Paimon?" After sitting down, Su Xun asked Ying curiously.

"She was a little sleepy from waiting, so I asked her to go back and rest first." Ying smiled sweetly.

"Why did you take so long to come back?" Shen He frowned slightly.

They're just a few Fatui, it shouldn't take so long, right?

Upon hearing this, Su Xun told everyone what happened in the ruins.

After Shen He finished listening, his eyebrows slightly frowned, "Demon remnants... I didn't expect that the Fatui would actually conduct such a dangerous experiment."

She knew how powerful the Demon God was, and naturally she also knew that even the remaining power after the Demon God's death was extremely dangerous.

It's so audacious of the Fatui to research such things.

"That Xumi man is so pitiful. He has such a strange disease and is being used for experiments by the doctor." Walnut blinked. Her focus was obviously different.

Su Xun smiled and touched her little head.

Ying frowned, "Another executive officer. Including this doctor, Liyue has already had three executive officers. Are the Fatui really not afraid of the anger of the Liyue Seven Stars?"

Su Xun spread his hands helplessly. "The Fatui have always been like this. They will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. But this time they are conducting such a dangerous experiment in Liyue. I'm sure the Liyue Seven Stars will not give up easily."

Shen He looked at Su Xun and said, "According to what you said, the strength of that doctor should not be underestimated. If you meet him again next time, you must be careful."

"I'll be careful." Su Xun nodded, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's so late, let's take a rest first and talk tomorrow."

"Yeah." Shen He nodded.

Hu Tao and Ying Mei had no objections either, as they were also a little sleepy.

But just when they were about to go back to their room to sleep, Su Xun stopped them.

Looking at his three girlfriends, he chuckled, "Wait, don't you want a goodnight kiss before going to bed?"

Hearing Su Xun's words, the three girls were stunned, and then their cheeks turned slightly red.

However, Yingmei was not too shy. She took a step closer and kissed Su Xun on the mouth.

"Good night." Ying's smile is as beautiful as a flower, making people intoxicated.

"Good night." Su Xun responded with a smile.

Yingmei returned to the room. After hesitating for a while, Shen He went up to Su Xun and kissed her, then went back to rest.

The only ones left in the yard were Su Xun and the walnuts on Xiafei's cheeks.

Seeing Hu Tao's cute appearance, Su Xun took the initiative to take a step closer, lifted her chin, and said jokingly under her panicked gaze: "What's the matter? Our hall master also has shy moments."

"You... are so annoying~" Kurumi's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Su Xun touched Hu Tao's head with a smile, then gently kissed her on the lips.

"Good night, Hu Tao." Su Xun said gently.

"Good night..." Kurumi responded in an inaudible voice, then covered her face and hurried into her room.

Su Xun looked at Hu Tao's back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

In the room, Hu Tao threw herself on the quilt, her heart still beating so hard as if it was about to jump out of her throat.

She patted her cheeks gently, trying to calm herself down.

"Hu Tao, Hu Tao, why are you so useless? It's just a goodnight kiss, why are you so excited?" Hu Tao said to herself.

"But this is my first kiss! Su Xun, this idiot, actually kissed me in this kind of atmosphere. It's not romantic at all!" After complaining, Hu Tao touched her lips, but couldn't help feeling a little sweet in her heart.

After a while, Walnut finally calmed down. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

But she couldn't fall asleep. Su Xun's figure kept appearing in her mind. She thought about Su Xun's smile, Su Xun's gentleness, and everything about Su Xun.

After a long time, I finally fell into a deep sleep...

The next morning.

Ying pulled away Paimon's arm that was pressing on her, sat up, and rubbed her eyes.

Paimon mumbled in a daze, turned over and continued to sleep.

Looking at the sunlight coming in through the gap in the curtains, Ying stretched herself, then she gently pushed Paimeng who was still sleeping, and said, "Paimeng, it's time to get up. The sun is shining on your butt."

Paimon responded dazedly, obviously not fully awake from his sleep yet.

Ying felt helpless when she saw this, but she did not continue to disturb Paimon. Instead, she prepared to let her sleep a little longer.

After putting on her clothes, Ying walked out of the room and came to the yard.

The air in the early morning is particularly fresh, and the flowers and plants in the yard appear particularly vibrant under the nourishment of the dew.

After training for a night, Su Xun had already started practicing martial arts in the morning. His spear skills were as smooth as flowing water, and every swing revealed his immense concentration and strength.

Ying walked to Su Xun and watched him practice quietly.

After a while, Su Xun put away his spear. After noticing Yingmei, he went up to her, hugged her, and asked with a smile: "Good morning, Ying. Did you have a good rest last night?"

"Yeah, I had a good rest." Ying hugged Su Xun's neck, raised her head and answered gently, with a hint of happiness and satisfaction in her eyes.

"That's good." Su Xun said, "What plans do you have for today? Or are you going to continue to take on commissions?"

"No, I won't be taking any commissions these days. I want to stay with you." Ying took the initiative to kiss Su Xun, smiling.

"Stay with me?" Su Xun raised his eyebrows, then smiled, "Why? Are you so reluctant to leave me?"

"Hmm~" Ying did not deny it.
