Genshin Impact: Great, you guys still remember

"Sister Zhong Li,"

The call came from behind. Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, his eyes moved away from the horizon, and he slowly turned around.

Seeing the person coming, his amber-clear eyes took on a soft glow:

"Now that you are here, please sit down."

This is Guyun Pavilion, an island created by the God of Rock when he suppressed the Demon God in the Sea a long time ago. Unfortunately, there is no lighthouse and night watchman in the story of the shopkeeper.

However, although there were none of these, there were things that Zhong Li had specially arranged——

A small table, a stove, two chairs, and a set of wine utensils.

Once a month, it has been going on for a hundred years.

A breeze blew by, and footsteps were heard behind her. He Li was already standing side by side with her, but he did not sit down as she had been told.

Zhong Li said nothing, narrowed her eyes slightly, and let the cold sea breeze brush through her long hair.

The once lost past, as time passed over the past hundred years, appeared more and more in her dreams.

In other words, once night falls, he is all I see when I close my eyes.

Of course, this had nothing to do with romance, nor did it have anything to do with my desire for my brother's body. It was just the most basic way for me to pick up my past memories as a ruler in the mortal world.

But after dreaming about him every day, my feelings towards him became special.

Until now, this day of meeting once a month has become the moment she looks forward to the most.

Zhong Li likes to be with him, even if it's just standing together in the cold wind like now,

Rocks also have hearts, and dripping water can wear away stones.

...

"I brought you a pair of gloves that Guizhong knitted for everyone."

The small stove began to bubble, the red dates were bubbling in the wine, and the sweet aroma of wine filled the air.

Zhong Li took a sip of wine, handed him a pair of egg-yellow gloves, and looked up and asked him:

"Have you visited them?"

"I saw it, it's all good,"

He Li took the gloves. They were furry and had a small pear flower embroidered on the edge. They were cute and delicate.

He didn't care whether it was suitable for a grown man to wear or not, he held it in his arms with great care.

He Li raised his head and swallowed a mouthful of wine, looking at Liyue Harbor across the sea.

The lanterns and decorations from the Chinese New Year have not been taken down yet, and there is still some lingering charm of the Sea Lantern Festival.

In the end, they stayed in the shop. Liuyun lived in Aozang Mountain and occasionally went to Liyue Port to see Ping Ping'er who lived there. Ganyu took over the job and took care of the master, aunt and aunt...

Peaceful and beautiful.

"With Sister Zhong Li here, why should I worry?"

He Li smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him and raised his glass:

"A toast to you."

Zhong Li reached out her hand to hold the cup with him, her eyes swept over him, and she smiled:

"Why should I? As a Thunder Dragon, you are no less powerful than me. If it is a life-and-death battle, and I use all my strength, I might even lose a little bit."

She was often surprised at He Li's special fate.

You say he has a difficult fate and is rejected by heaven, but isn't this also a godsend?

At least no one knew that the original earthly god of Liyue had transformed into the Thunder Dragon, one of the seven elemental dragons.

In terms of rank, elemental dragons are much higher than demons.

Besides, He Li is not a complete Thunder Dragon yet.

Thinking of this, she looked across the sea and suddenly sighed:

"In fact, every time the Seven meet, I am always surprised to see how well you and the God of Thunder get along."

He Li was very interested: "Why?"

"Because in terms of destiny, you two should have been enemies."

A hint of seriousness flashed across Zhong Li's eyes.

...

The origin of things is always kept secret, and most demons and even the rulers know very little about it.

But Zhong Li is a 5,000-year-old lady, she knows more.

Among them is the relationship between the Elemental Throne and the Elemental Dragon.

Sky Island designated the Demon God as the ruler and gave him the corresponding throne.

No one knew how the throne was given, not even Zhong Li. All they knew was that along with the throne came a heart of God.

Naturally, He Li would wonder, could the Heart of God be the container that holds the Throne of God?

Otherwise, why didn't the Throne of Thunder disappear after the death of Raiden in the original game? Instead, it was passed to the hands of the Thunder Movie.

The only one that plays a role in transmission is the Heart of God.

This is a very logical explanation, so He Li's goal from the beginning was the Heart of God, to find an opportunity to break the throne of God and become a complete dragon, so that he would have enough power to resist the Maintainer...

Just as Zhong Li said, the Thunder Dragon who wanted to destroy the throne, and the Thunder Ruler whose life depended on the throne,

They were supposed to be enemies.

...

"So when I first learned that you were a thunder dragon in this life, I had a momentary desire to kill the thunder god Baal."

Zhong Li had never concealed anything in front of He Li. The murderous intent of a martial god flashed in her phoenix eyes.

But it was only for a moment. After a moment, He Li noticed that there was tenderness and a hint of...helplessness in those eyes.

"But do you know why I quickly gave up this idea?"

"why?"

"Because I noticed the way she looked at you, and that look told me...she would never hurt you,"

Zhong Li exhaled:

“The eyes are connected to the heart, and the heart never lies.”

He Li finally saw the helplessness in Zhong Li's eyes.

Wherever you go, you're lost.

"That puts my mind at ease,"

Zhong Li took a sip of wine:

"So the choice is actually still yours. If you don't want to take the power of the ancient dragon, you can live like this from now on. I believe she will accompany you for hundreds and thousands of years.

If you insist on getting it, I can also help you..."

She suddenly stopped, because He Li had taken out something that looked like a chess piece from his arms.

Heart of Thundergod.

He Li asked: "What if she has already given it to me?"

Zhong Li was speechless:

"She actually loves you so much."

...

"Ancient Dragon Power... Sister Zhong Li, if I become a perfect dragon, what kind of strength will I reach?"

He Li pinched the Heart of God with two fingers, and something deep in his blood seemed to be attracted by it.

"Given your age and foundation, if you were a complete dragon... you would be several times stronger than me, or even more..."

Zhong Li shook his head, as if he had not yet recovered from his surprise.

He Li suddenly asked:

"What about compared to Him?"

Zhong Li understood that the 'Him' that He Li mentioned was his real enemy - the Maintainer.

"I don't know."

Zhong Li shook his head:

"But I can only be sure of one thing. If you were a perfect dragon, He would be cautious and would not fight you so openly."

"why?"

"Because He doesn't want to be hurt,"

Zhong Li's voice became quieter:

"To maintain the Way of Heaven, He needs to be in His prime. If He is injured, He will definitely retreat and fall into deep sleep."

"Injuried?"

He Li's eyes moved:

"Sister Zhong Li, will your current strength hurt Him?"

Zhong Li answered quickly this time. It was obvious that she had rehearsed this question many times in her mind.

"If you don't care about life or death, one in five will win."

One fifth,

He Li closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"But that is only His own strength. In addition to that, He has another ability."

Zhong Li raised his finger and pointed to the distance. He Li looked in the direction of his finger and saw a snowy mountain. To be more precise, it was a destroyed country.

Hanging above it is a huge, shining pillar - the Frost Sky Nail.

As if seeing some dangerous thoughts in He Li's mind, Zhong Li emphasized:

"It's called Divine Punishment. Under Divine Punishment, neither you nor I have any hope of survival."

He Li looked at the snow-capped mountain that was destroyed by divine punishment and gradually fell silent.

...

But soon, his hand was suddenly held, and the warm breath was accompanied by the fragrance of a woman. Zhong Li slowly approached:

"I told you that you can rely on me, no matter who you face in the future."
