Genshin Impact: I was robbed at the beginning and I hated being ranked third!

Walnut came to a world of ice and snow, the sky was gray, the cold wind kept blowing past her ears, scratching her face and leaving scars on her face.

Hu Tao felt like she was dreaming, but the pain on her face couldn't be faked. Was she in another world? But she was only 18 years old, just when her youth was just beginning. Why did I come to the underworld?

Although he was confused, he did not intend to stay where he was. After choosing a direction, he continued to move forward in that direction, with the cold wind whistling inside.

He was only wearing a thin piece of clothing and was shivering with cold. Even the burning Homa could not give him the slightest warmth.

"What the hell is this place? I've never heard of the underworld being so cold. I should still have a lot of life left in me, so how could I go to the underworld so early?"

Walnut kept taking small steps to move his body, as if this could generate more heat.

Hu Tao kept walking forward. A layer of frost gradually formed on her eyebrows. Her eyes were red and swollen and she couldn't open them. She could only squint and keep moving forward.

Her hands and feet were frozen, and she could only move forward slowly. The flame of the Homa had long been burned out, because her elemental power had been exhausted. Unfortunately, she found that she could not replenish the lost elemental power in this place, which meant that she was now a fish at the mercy of others.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly saw a fire in front of her, which was undoubtedly a great fortune for Walnut.

As if it were a last gasp, his body regained strength and he kept running towards the fire.

When she arrived, she saw that it was an ice lake. There was a person sitting on the lake with his back to her, and in front of him was a warm campfire.

Hu Tao seemed a little shy when she approached, and approached cautiously. The man seemed to have noticed something and stood up and turned around. His face made Hu Tao cover her mouth in disbelief.

"Yang Ming!" Hu Tao threw herself into Yang Ming's arms without hesitation and knocked him down on the ice.

"Hey, what's wrong with you, little girl? You throw yourself into the arms of strangers when you see them? If you meet a bad guy who kidnaps you and sells you, will you still have to count the money for him?"

Yang Ming picked up Hu Tao with one hand and moved her away from him, but Yang Ming noticed the frost on Hu Tao's body, her frozen hands and feet, and her purple lips. In the end, he couldn't bear it and hugged her in his arms, sitting in front of the fire to keep warm.

With Yang Ming's embrace and the warmth of the fire, the frozen Hu Tao gradually regained consciousness, and her hands and feet were no longer cold and stiff.

The ice flowers on his eyebrows and hair gradually dissipated and melted. The wet feeling on his chest made Yang Ming feel uncomfortable, but he did not throw Hu Tao away.

He himself didn't know why he was so indulgent towards this strange girl. Perhaps he thought of Ningguang when he saw her. After all, this girl just now had frozen eyebrows, ice flowers on her face, and purple lips.

He thought of Ningguang. Did Ningguang spend her winter like this? Was he also frozen stiff and with purple lips like the girl in front of him?

Just when Yang Ming was daydreaming, Hu Tao woke up. Seeing Yang Ming thinking, she did not disturb him but just looked at him quietly, with love that could not be concealed in her eyes.

When Yang Ming came back from his trance, he found that the girl in his arms had woken up at some point and was blinking her big, sparkling eyes at him.

"You're awake now. Check if you feel any discomfort. Can you warm yourself by the fire? Then you don't have to stay in my arms any longer."

Just when Yang Ming hugged Hu Tao and wanted to put him on the other side of the fire, Hu Tao stayed in his arms and refused to leave.

"No, no, no, I finally found you, I don't want to be separated so soon. Besides, we haven't seen each other for so long, what's wrong with letting me snuggle in your arms for a while?"

Yang Ming was confused by Hu Tao's words. What did she mean by "I finally found him"? What did she mean by "We haven't seen each other for so long"? If he remembered correctly, the plum blossom eyes and two ponytails should be Hu Tao.

However, when preparing for the funeral of Lingguang's parents, he met Hu Lao's son and found out that he was not married, which means that Hu Tao was not born yet. But why did Hu Tao appear here?

Moreover, this Hu Tao seemed to be very familiar with him. Could it be that something had happened between them? But what could he do to such a young girl? This made Yang Ming confused.

"Judging from your attire and clothes, if I remember correctly, you should be the head of Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao. From your tone, it seems that we are familiar with each other, but why are you here?"

"This shouldn't be the case. Your father hasn't even gotten married yet, so where did you come from?"

After hearing Yang Ming's words, Hu Tao raised her head from Yang Ming's arms in surprise and looked at Yang Ming.

It was only then that Hu Tao noticed some subtle details. The Yang Ming in front of him was not the Yang Ming he knew. This Yang Ming had the youthful and vigorous feeling of a young boy.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger and dares to point to the sky and reach the clouds.

But the Yang Ming he saw had already shed his youthful ambition and was instead very mature, thinking twice before doing anything.

Moreover, the gentleness between Yang Ming's eyebrows was no longer there. Hu Tao only saw the general concern for a strange girl in him.

Because Yang Ming wanted to throw her aside just now, which made Hu Tao even more confused, but this Yang Ming was not the Yang Ming he knew, so why did this Yang Ming still know her.

At this moment, Hu Tao suddenly remembered something. Yang Ming once told him that he went to Winter Solstice for revenge in the year of the accident. However, his revenge failed and turned into fun. When he passed by the Belga Ice Lake, he was entangled by the remnant of the demon there and lost himself.

Thinking of this, Hu Tao asked Yang Ming weakly: "Brother Yang Ming, when did you become an apprentice, and where is this place?"

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He was the disciple of Master Liuyun Jiefeng, and currently only a few people in Liyue knew about it.

They are Emperor, Ganyu, Ningguang, and Grandma Ping. It can be said that they can be counted on one hand, but Hu Tao in front of her knows that he is the disciple of Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

This made Yang Ming feel a little intrigued. It seemed that the walnut in front of him was just an illusion.

During the time he was on the ice lake, he saw this kind of hallucination no less than a dozen times. Sometimes it was Ningguang, sometimes it was Eula, sometimes it was Columbia, and even Rosaline appeared.

Now that Hu Tao has appeared, Yang Ming has become very interested in this ice lake. In his opinion, this ice lake seems to be able to read his memory, because the memories he reads are all his favorite characters.

That's why his favorite characters are presented to him in the form of illusions, but he knows that these are just illusions.

In this case, Yang Ming glanced at Hu Tao coldly, and Hu Tao was frightened by Yang Ming's sudden look. Under his confused gaze, Yang Ming took out Lei Wei.

Lei Wei pointed his gun at Hu Tao, who was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand why Yang Ming would attack her.

However, she did not intend to hide. After all, she belonged to Yang Ming. If Yang Ming wanted her life, then he could take it.

Hu Tao took the initiative to point her throat at the tip of Yang Ming's gun. Yang Ming only needed to stab forward lightly to completely erase the illusion in front of him.

But Hu Tao's action frightened him. Even if it was an illusion, he couldn't accept death so calmly. He immediately put Lei Wei away and looked at Hu Tao with complicated eyes.

"Are you an illusion or the Walnut in my memory? You accept death so calmly. Don't you have any regrets or unwillingness?"

When Hu Tao saw Yang Ming put Lei Wei away, she excitedly threw herself into his arms and rubbed against his chest vigorously.

"I knew it. I knew you wouldn't be willing to kill me. You've been so good to me, how could you bear to kill me~"

Hearing Hu Tao's smug tone, Yang Ming shook his head helplessly, and took her out of his arms, then placed her straight in front of him, the firelight illuminating their faces. Under the firelight, Hu Tao's pair of plum blossom eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Yang Ming suddenly felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look directly. Hu Tao seemed to see Yang Ming's guilt and put his hand on her face.

"Don't blame yourself for this. Hu Tao will never blame Brother Yang Ming. Brother Yang Ming, can you answer my question just now?"

Seeing that Hu Tao couldn't help but believe it, Yang Ming told Hu Tao about his current experience. Hu Tao was shocked to hear that this was actually the Belga Ice Lake from more than ten years ago.

The Yang Ming in front of him was not the Yang Ming he knew, but it was right to think so. After all, he was not born more than ten years ago. His father had not married yet, and his grandfather was still alive.

She didn't understand why she suddenly came to the Berga Ice Lake more than ten years ago, but this was a good time to get to know Yang Ming, wasn't it?

So she started to pester Yang Ming with questions. Hu Tao's eccentricity made Yang Ming unable to resist for a while. He could only answer whatever he asked, and Hu Tao almost emptied his underwear.

"By the way, Brother Yang Ming, how long have you been on this ice lake?"

After Hu Tao asked, she saw Yang Ming, who looked thoughtful.

"How should I put it? I have been wandering on this ice lake for several months. The previous ice fields and glaciers only took me a month to cross, but this ice lake has taken me several months and I still haven't found the exit."

After hearing Yang Ming's explanation, Hu Tao was shocked. She had heard Yang Ming say that he lost himself on the ice lake. Then he was picked up by Columbia and spent no more than a month on the ice lake. But Yang Ming in front of her said that he had been wandering on the ice lake for several months.

In other words, the Brother Yang Ming in front of us is actually the lost self of Brother Yang Ming from more than ten years ago!

However, just when he realized this and wanted to tell Yang Ming, an inexplicable attraction suddenly came from behind him and sucked him out.

At the last moment, she reached out her hand to Yang Ming. Seeing this strange scene, Yang Ming couldn't help but think more and reached out to Hu Tao, but he missed it a little bit and failed to grab Hu Tao's hand.

Walnut was swallowed by the strange black hole, and the black hole suddenly disappeared in front of Yang Ming. The entire plain returned to the endless loneliness again.

Yang Ming stood there in a daze, the girl's laughter and joy seemed to be still in front of him. He didn't understand what was going on with the strange black hole, nor did he understand why Hu Tao, who should have appeared more than ten years later, appeared in front of him?

This ice lake was really too weird. After sighing helplessly, Yang Ming sat back in front of the campfire.

There was still the faint scent of plum blossoms left by the girl in his chest. He shook his head and stopped thinking about Walnut. The most important thing right now was to find a way out of this damn ice lake.

After all, his work is not done yet. He has to complete his revenge and return to Aozang Mountain and be with Ningguang.

"Wuwang Slope"

Hu Tao suddenly woke up from his sleep, gasping for breath, and kept checking his body, but found no signs of frostbite.

But the touch in the dream was so real that Walnut couldn't tell the difference between reality and dream for a moment.

Finally, he used the cuticle to cut a wound, and the blood dripped onto the ground and turned into a fiery red butterfly and disappeared. Only then did Kurumi believe that this was reality.

Because she had just tried to restore her elemental power, she could replenish it by absorbing the elemental power of heaven, earth and man through the Eye of God.

However, Hu Tao did not seem so happy when she returned to reality, because she really didn't understand why she dreamed of Yang Ming from more than ten years ago.

"Brother Yang Ming, I didn't expect him to be so handsome more than ten years ago, but the mature Brother Yang Ming is more to my taste."

After being infatuated for a while, Hu Tao finally remembered something important. Now it was important to figure out why she appeared in Belga Ice Lake more than a decade ago. If she really appeared in Belga Ice Lake more than a decade ago, then Brother Yang Ming should have the memory of Belga Ice Lake.

But when Brother Yang Ming talked to him about this matter, he did not tell him that he had seen her at the Berga Ice Lake.

This means that Brother Yang Ming may not have any memory of her. Thinking about this is too cruel for Hu Tao, so she finally gave up thinking.

At this moment he suddenly remembered his customers and ran to the fire. But the fire was gone and only ashes remained on the ground.

The ashes had already lost their temperature, which showed how long she had slept.

Hu Tao quickly began to collect the ashes. The ashes were mixed together so it was impossible to tell whose were whose. They filled several large jars.

Then they dug a hole and buried them. At least there were some ashes left, at least they were not reduced to ashes.
