Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Chapter 438: Walnut's unexpected encounter with the lady

With the experience of Xianyun, the True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, who has lived for thousands of years, the construction plan of a mere house is naturally no problem for him.

She had even built immortal caves countless times, not to mention a small courtyard.

Under her guidance, Su Xun benefited a lot and his design plan for the yard became more and more perfect.

The two of them were discussing enthusiastically and time passed quietly.

At the same time, Inazuma White Fox's Field.

Hu Tao appeared out of nowhere and began to look around at the unfamiliar environment that was completely different from the scenery of Liyue.

This was an open wilderness, surrounded by some dense purple bushes and lawns. Not far away, there were a few yellow foxes looking at her curiously.

"Huh? Why are we in the wild?" Hu Tao scratched his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Ah, could it be that the coordinates were sent to the wrong place?"

Hu Tao realized that she might have been teleported to the wrong place in her excitement because of Shen He's pregnancy, and she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset, took out her pocket anchor again and carefully checked the coordinates. After confirming the location of the castle tower, she decided to teleport again.

But at this moment, she suddenly saw a group of Fatui walking towards her.

Hu Tao's heart tightened and he became alert subconsciously.

"How come Inazuma ran into the Fatui as soon as she arrived? They are really a group of lingering ghosts!" Kurumi wrinkled her delicate little nose and muttered.

She has no good feelings towards the Fatui, after all, these guys have done a lot of bad things in Liyue.

Moreover, the two executive officers and the doctor from the Fatui had fought with her husband before. Although her husband was not injured, she still felt very unhappy with the Fatui.

Just when Walnut discovered this group of Fatui, they also saw Walnut. After all, the White Fox Wilderness is an open area, and Walnut's appearance was particularly abrupt.

The Fatui stopped and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared with caution. Kurumi's unique temperament and clothing that was very different from Inazuma's style made them realize that she was not an ordinary person.

This group of Fatui is not an ordinary group of Fatui, but the Solstice diplomatic mission headed by the lady.

"A Liyue person?" The lady glanced at Hu Tao casually and asked calmly.

Walnut didn't reply, but just looked at the other person warily.

This woman's appearance and image seem somewhat familiar. I seem to have heard my husband mention her before...

It seems to be the seventh or eighth executive officer of the Fatui? It seems to be called——

"Ma'am?" Kurumi thought for a moment, then asked with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

The lady raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Hu Tao, and said with a smile: "Oh? You know me? It seems that you are not an ordinary Liyue person."

Looking at the Eye of God on Hu Tao and her attire, and referring to the intelligence about Liyue collected by her subordinates before, the lady immediately remembered Hu Tao's identity.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone became much colder: "The 77th head of Liyue Wangsheng Hall, Su Xun's childhood friend who grew up together, and the owner of the Fire God's Eye - Hu Tao?"

"Childhood friend..." Kurumi blinked and then pouted.

Now she is not only her husband's childhood companion, but also his cute and obedient little wife!

It seems that the Fatui's intelligence gathering ability is not that good. They don't even know that she is already her husband's wife. Humph!

In the White Fox Field of Inazuma, Kurumi and the Winter Diplomatic Mission led by the lady were confronting each other, and the atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

The lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "I didn't expect to meet someone related to Su Xun here. It's really a pleasant surprise. In this case, I have to have a good chat with you."

Kurumi frowned, put his hands on his hips and said, "I have nothing to talk about with you! You Fatui have done so many bad things, I don't want to have anything to do with you."

The lady chuckled, "Oh? That's not up to you. I'm very interested in Su Xun, why don't you tell me about him, maybe I can consider letting you go."

Kurumi snorted coldly, and raised her chin slightly, "You wish! I won't tell you anything about my husband, so you fools should stop wasting your time."

"Husband?"

The lady raised her eyebrows, and her eyes suddenly showed strong interest.

"You two are together? Haha, then you are even more valuable."

Her eyes were moving over Kurumi's body, as if she was assessing something.

Kurumi took a step back cautiously, summoning the glowing Homa Staff, ready to respond to any possible battle at any time.

"What? Do you think you can fight against our entire delegation by yourself?" There was a hint of sarcasm in the lady's voice.

Walnut rolled his eyes and smiled slyly: "Hehe, you have more people and more power. I'm not stupid. I won't fight with you! I'll slip away first. Bye~"

After saying that, Kurumi's figure flashed and turned into a streak of fire, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

She was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, she had already covered dozens of meters and was rushing towards Inazuma Castle.

The lady raised her eyebrows slightly, obviously not expecting Walnut to leave so suddenly and so quickly.

She snorted coldly and waved her hand to signal her men to give chase.

"Chase! We can't let her get away!" There was an unquestionable tone in the lady's voice.

The Fatui sprang into action, but their speed was no match for Walnut's.

As the owner of the Fire God's Eye, Hu Tao's speed and flexibility far exceeded that of ordinary people. She soon left her pursuers behind without a trace, feeling secretly proud of herself as she ran.

She knew that although she had good fighting ability, it was definitely not a wise move to fight head-on against so many Fatui, especially with an executive officer.

So in order to ensure her own safety, she chose the wisest strategy - to retreat temporarily.

Kurumi ran out of the White Fox Wilderness in one go, and only slowed down a little when she arrived at the outskirts of Inazuma Castle and was about to enter the city.

She knew that the Fatui would not dare to openly hunt her down in Inazuma Castle. After all, this was the territory of Ying, the God of Thunder, and any outside forces would have to be cautious here.

But just in case, use the pocket anchor to teleport directly into the city.

As she was just being watched by the ladies, she couldn't use the pocket anchor. After all, it would be bad if the Fatui knew that she and the others had magical items that could teleport and aroused their vigilance.

By then, the Fatui might take more precautions against this situation, causing unnecessary trouble to her husband Su Xun and even Liyue.

However, just as Walnut was about to take out the pocket anchor to teleport into the city, suddenly, a cold chain composed of ice elemental power shot out from the void and instantly wrapped around Walnut's body.

Hu Tao was shocked and struggled hard, but the ice chain was so strong that she couldn't break free for a while.

Even more, the extremely cold air continued to erode her body, not only making her movements gradually become slow, but also making her extremely uncomfortable, and her face turned pale in an instant.
