Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

Hines walked to Xiao's side and explained to Xiao's speechless eyes,

“He doesn’t like my drinking.”

Xiao nodded to show that he understood. He had asked the Emperor about Hines' identity a long time ago and had some understanding of his past.

"Where are the two of them?"

"He's probably already asleep."

Hines leaned against the railing and looked sideways at Xiao beside him.

Xiao took a sip of wine.

"Protect them, they are too weak."

"Let's not talk about the two of them for now, let's solve your problem first."

Xiao was drinking and was stunned when he heard what Xines said.

"My problem? What's my problem?"

"This thousand years of karma must be hard to bear..."

Xiao fell silent. As a member of the Yaksha clan, he signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue with his body.

After the Demon War ended, many demon remains in Liyue were left to wreak havoc everywhere, carrying with them their former resentment and unwillingness.

Xiao and the other four Yakshas continued to clean up the remains of these demon gods, but in the process they were also contaminated by the power of the demon gods, and this is the source of Xiao's karma.

As he continued to kill, the karma in his body continued to absorb the resentment of the deceased, gradually becoming stronger and continuously eroding Xiao.

"I will handle my own affairs..."

Xiao hid his painful memories and showed his strong side.

For someone like me who is full of sins, perhaps death is the best destination, and... you should be waiting for me too.

Xiao slowly swallowed a big mouthful of wine. Four figures seemed to be right in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

"Don't be so stubborn. We are friends too. You just said so yourself."

Xiao turned and looked at Sines.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Seeing that Xiao finally gave in, Sines walked to his side and put his hand on Xiao's shoulder again.

"Don't move, it might hurt a little, bear with it~"

Xiao disagreed.

Is it painful? I have been living with this karma for thousands of years, and I suffer pain all the time.

Naturally, Hines didn't say anything more. A layer of black and blue energy was attached to his hands, which was extremely filthy.

Xiao's originally calm expression changed, and just as he was about to leave, he heard the voice of Sines.

"I told you, don't move..."

Xiao didn't take any action in the end, he chose to trust Hines.

In the silent and still night, with a gentle breeze blowing, the rocks outside the inn were quietly waiting for the result.

As soon as the dark blue light touched Xiao, it was no longer calm. It kept jumping on Xiao's body like boiling water.

Xiao could clearly feel the karma within him starting to revive, and this time, he couldn't suppress it...

Xiao remembered that the last time the karma in his body was revived, it was all thanks to the god from the neighboring country.

The inky karma continued to rise, and the power from Hines was not to be outdone. The two colors continued to intertwine, and Xiao's body began to tremble constantly.

Xiao can clearly feel that his karma is decreasing, so no matter how painful it is, he has to hold on.

"cough..."

Seeing Xiao trying to remain calm but with a face distorted by the pain, Sines felt a little distressed.

"Hold on a little longer..."

Hines suddenly increased his energy output, and the black-blue light completely enveloped Xiao. They were constantly extracting the karma in Xiao's body, tearing it apart, and devouring it.

The momentary pain almost made Xiao fall to his knees, but fortunately, the pain only lasted for a moment.

"It's over. How do you feel?"

A black halo of stars surrounded Hines' body, and his originally azure eyes became cloudy.

Xiao felt the remaining karma in his body,

"Thank you."

"Okay, okay, but you have karma that even the Emperor can't eradicate. All I can do is help you lighten the burden a little."

After saying that, seeing Xiao looking at him with some concern, Hines was a little confused.

"what happened?"

Before Xiao could say anything, Hines' eyes had returned to purity.

"...fine."

Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that he was not affected by his karma.

"Good night, have a good rest."

Hines waved and walked down the terrace. Xiao watched him leave and then said softly,

"Thank you friend."

In the silent night, the green figure rarely slept peacefully.

As soon as Hines walked into his room, he threw himself onto the bed. He curled up on his side and tossed and turned in intense pain.

Originally, Sineus didn't need to endure this kind of pain. The power from Erinace was enough to solve the karma transformed by the remnants of the demon god, but when he saw Xiao enduring this kind of pain, he felt a little soft-hearted.

So he did not choose to continue to erase the remnants of these demons in Xiao's body, but instead brought them all back into his own body.

"It hurts so much... If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so soft-hearted..."

The window of the room had been opened at some point, and the gentle sound of a piano could be heard from afar, blending harmoniously into the quiet night and soothing the remnant of the demon that had tainted Hines.

Everyone fell asleep peacefully to the sound of the piano.

"I didn't expect he had such power."

Wendy sat by the window, gently playing the harp in her hand.

"It seems as if he has mastered the power of the abyss."

Zhongli sat on a bench not far from Wendy and took a sip of the tea he had just brewed.

"Drinking tea is so boring. I have some wine that Mond brought. Would you like to try it together?"

"Hey, hey, hey, there's no need to do that. Can't I just drink my tea?"

Wendy, smiling, sat opposite Zhongli, looking towards the terrace.

"It's rare for that kid to get a good night's sleep. This guy Hines is really amazing."

Zhongli nodded without comment.

"It's time for him to take a good rest."

In the darkness of the night, the two gods drank tea quietly, although one of them would rather replace the tea with wine.

This night was particularly long. When Xiao woke up, the sun had already risen. He leaned against a tree and stretched his body.

This was a sense of relief he had not experienced in hundreds of years, like a warrior taking off his armor.

Xiao glanced down and noticed the open window of Hines.

With a flash, Xiao appeared at the window. Seeing that Hines was still sleeping soundly, he gently closed the window and drove away the chirping birds in the tree.

"Xiao, good morning!"

Paimon, who was planning to wake up Cines as usual, saw Xiao standing by the window and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Is it possible that you are not on the terrace?"

Ying was also surprised. You know, Xiao is not someone who would just appear in other places.

"I have nothing to do, so I came down for a walk."

Although Xiao said he was walking, he had no intention of moving.

Paimon scratched his head.

"Then please move aside for a moment. We are looking for Hines."

"He's not awake yet."

"Yes, we need to wake him up."

"...He's not awake yet."
