Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Three days after the incident caused by Deknor ended, Linglang City had almost returned to its former prosperity.

Early in the morning, in the newly rebuilt inn, Mo Yan, Kailin and five others gathered around the dining table.

The morning sun streamed through the newly installed glazed windows, casting colorful spots of light on the dining table. Kailin was stuffing her fifth bun into her mouth.

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you." Mo Yan said helplessly with his hands in his arms.

Zi Xuan smiled softly: "I can't believe that after only three days, everything in the city has returned to its original state."

"This is all thanks to Mr. Zhongli and the puppets you brought." Zhao Heng nodded and was severely criticized by Kailin the next second.

She swallowed the bun and said, "Hey, what dolls? They are real people now!"

Zhao Heng was choked and stunned, and quickly waved his hands to apologize: "Yes, yes, I spoke out of turn."

He turned his head to look out the window and saw several figures on the street helping to carry building materials.

"They have a strong learning ability and were able to integrate into city life in just three days."

"This is all thanks to Miss Xueyan. If she hadn't asked everyone to help, they wouldn't have been able to integrate so quickly." Karen said.

"And there's another point. Because of Miss Xueyan's identity, people didn't tell Zixuan anything." He added, his fingertips gently stroking the edge of the teacup, "After all, she herself is..."

She didn't say anything more because everyone knew this.

At this time, a silver-haired woman walked into the store, followed closely by a red-haired girl. The two of them were wearing simple clothes and came to the counter in a very natural manner.

"Shopkeeper, same as usual, one basket of buns and two bowls of wontons." The red-haired girl had a cheerful look on her face, while the silver-haired girl next to her looked cold as ice.

"Okay, wait a moment, both of you!"

Just as the waiter turned around, the silver-haired woman suddenly pressed the counter. "Wait." Her voice was as clear as the collision of ice ridges. "Add another serving of sweet-scented osmanthus candied lotus root."

The red-haired girl opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Sister, you actually..."

"Shut up." The silver-haired woman's ears turned slightly red. "The old lady we helped repair the roof yesterday said... this is a specialty of Linglang."

Kailin burst out laughing, and the bun filling sprayed onto Mo Yan's sleeve.

"Hey, is it that serious?" Mo Yan casually took out a tissue and wiped his sleeves.

"Sorry, sorry." Kailin scratched her head awkwardly.

"Were they also born in the laboratory?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Yes." Kailin nodded. She turned around and when she saw the two of them taking their plates away and looking for a seat, she suddenly stood up, "Ms. Qiu Hong, Miss Leng Yue, this is over here!"

She waved to the two of them, and her voice quickly caught their attention.

"It's you!" the red-haired girl said excitedly, then she nudged the silver-haired girl next to her with her shoulder and came to the dining table.

"Leng Yue, don't push me." Qiu Hong's hand, holding the sweet osmanthus lotus root, suddenly trembled. When Kailin enthusiastically moved out of the seat, the silver-haired girl's ears turned even redder.

"Good morning, both of you!" Karen said with a smile.

"Well... good morning." Qiu Hong nodded lightly, while Leng Yue greeted everyone with extreme excitement.

"Hehe, Miss Lengyue is still so energetic." Kailin put down the bun and said with a smile.

"Is that so, hehe." The red-haired girl scratched her head. Although she looked embarrassed, she seemed to be completely indifferent.

"Wait a minute, Qiu Hong, Leng Yue?" Suddenly, Tianlang showed a confused expression.

When talking about Qiu Hong, he looked at the silver-haired woman, then at the red-haired woman next to her; and when talking about Leng Yue, he also looked at the red-haired girl, then at the silver-haired woman next to her.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Hong asked puzzledly.

Tianlang's gaze darted back and forth between the two of them, finally settling on the silver-haired woman: "So... your name is Qiu Hong?"

The silver-haired girl nodded expressionlessly and picked up a piece of candied lotus root with her chopsticks: "Hmm."

"And she..." Tianlang pointed at the red-haired girl again, "her name is Leng Yue?"

"That's right!" The red-haired girl came closer with a smile. "Why, are our names weird?"

There was silence at the table.

"No..." Tianlang scratched his hair, "Are you sure your name and image aren't reversed?"

Qiu Hong slowly bit into the candied lotus root, the sweet osmanthus honey dripping down the corners of her mouth. She extended her tongue and gently licked it, a gesture that should have been charming, but she made it look like she was disassembling a delicate instrument.

"Well, it seems like a lot of people have complained about this in the past few days." Leng Yue looked at Qiu Hong embarrassedly.

Qiu Hong chewed the candied lotus root slowly and swallowed it, then said, "It can't be helped. Our names were chosen by Sister Xueyan by drawing lots from a dictionary. Besides, Leng Yue and I both like this name."

"I think there's more than that." Kailin gave a playful smile.

"What do you mean?" Tianlang asked.

"Of course it's because of the contract. Two days ago, Qiu Hong and Leng Yue took the initiative to request to sign a contract with Miss Xueyan. You know, at that time Qiu Hong awakened the same red thunder as Miss Xueyan, and Leng Yue awakened the blood moon, so it can only be said that it is a destined name!" Kailin shook her finger with a smile.

"You actually took the initiative to sign a contract with Thunder Lord?" Tianlang said thoughtfully, then shook his head. "I really don't understand. It's obvious that you no longer have to continue your fate as combat puppets."

"That's true, but Sister Xueyan gave us a new life and taught us a lot these days. So we want to follow her." Qiu Hong said seriously.

Leng Yue suddenly put down her chopsticks, placed her hands on the table, and her eyes flashed with red light: "And..."

Her voice suddenly dropped, carrying a dangerous excitement. "Don't you think it would be incredibly satisfying to personally beat down those who use us as weapons?"

Qiu Hong stuffed a piece of candied lotus root into her mouth expressionlessly: "Shut up."

"Woo woo woo!" Leng Yue's protest was ineffective, and her cheeks puffed up like a hamster.

Tianlang chuckled softly and said, "Hehe, what an interesting pair of sisters."

"However, since Ling Lang's matter is over, isn't it time for us to set off for the abyss?" Zi Xuan asked.

Kailin snapped back to her senses. "Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Now that we've got Miss Xueyan's guardian certificate, isn't it time we go give that guy (Rednos) a little shock?"

"Oh, are you leaving in such a hurry? We haven't entertained you all much these days."

Just as Kailin finished her words, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, but there was no one there. The next second, two hands simultaneously rested on Mo Yan and Kailin's shoulders, and Kailin jumped in fright.

Wow!

The bun in her hand flew out in fright, but was caught by the shadow in the blink of an eye.

"So careless? It's not nice to waste food."
