Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

After feeding the little "female" monkey the "pissing monkey pill," Huiyuan, in a very humane way, gave it a magic bean. However, after the little "female" monkey's lost part grew back, it permanently lost its original function.

Tossing the monkey aside, Huiyuan asked the system, "Now that I've vented my emotions, it's time to get down to business. System, what were those scenes I saw earlier?"

The system didn't respond for long before her voice came through.

"To safely traverse time and avoid the perception of other 'beings,' I expended a tremendous amount of energy. Unfortunately, I was almost noticed during the journey, and the large amount of energy I used to shield myself from detection caused you to be disturbed by countless timelines within the River of Time before my energy could be replenished. Fortunately, the Cleansing Bell can stabilize your soul and pull it back into your body while my energy is still depleted."

"So, Sister Tongzi, you do have times when you're low on energy. Have you recovered your energy yet?"

"It's back to normal. Don't underestimate my logistics."

After the system finished speaking, Huiyuan sat up, looked at the sun in the sky, and said, "It seems that it is already afternoon. This tiger skin outfit should not attract too much attention, right? At least... it is less eye-catching than the previous gorgeous outfit."

Based on what he saw in the sky, Huiyuan quickly found Guiliji.

The people here dress very primitively, but they still cover up everything that needs to be covered. In order to blend in, Huiyuan also wore a tiger skin coat. But since it was tiger fur, it still attracted some attention.

Fortunately, she was wearing a tiger-skin coat, so no one dared to approach her. Lingling's beautiful appearance, combined with the tiger-skin coat, made it obvious to everyone that she was married, and to a very fierce man.

What? You're saying Lingling looks like a teenage girl, how could she be mistaken for having a husband? Actually, in this era, underage marriage is quite normal. After all, you never know when disaster might suddenly strike and take people's lives.

Most of the original buildings were built with stone, and although it was a market, the things traded here were not complicated, mostly food, pottery, chipped stone tools, etc., and the trade was all barter. Mora does not seem to have appeared in this era.

Not only Mora, but even Teyvat's common language hasn't appeared yet. The people here use Liyue language and Liyue script. Although Huiyuan doesn't know it, the system helps with translation, allowing for barrier-free communication.

In front of an elderly woman with white hair, there were baskets made of various plants. The goods were placed directly on stones, but they did not look dirty.

Huiyuan picked up the pork she had prepared in advance and showed it to the other party.

"Grandma, can I trade this pork for this basket?"

The old woman replied with a very warm smile, "Sure, sure."

Although the old woman spoke very warmly, there was a sense of loneliness in her eyes, and her voice was a little hoarse.

Huiyuan handed the pork to her mother-in-law and was about to leave when her mother-in-law called her back.

"Little girl."

Huiyuan stopped and looked at the other person again.

"What's wrong, Mother-in-law?"

"Are you from out of town?"

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan became alert.

The mother-in-law immediately noticed Huiyuan's nervousness, so she used a gentle tone to cover up her hoarse voice and told Huiyuan to relax.

“When we were kids, we all slept on stone pillows, so the back of our heads was a bit flat. That’s why I knew you were from out of town the moment I saw you. It’s almost night, so you probably don’t have anywhere to stay, right? My family happens to have a lot of empty beds.”

Seeing that her mother-in-law meant no harm, Huiyuan lowered her guard and nodded in agreement, saying, "Then... thank you, Mother-in-law."

...

Inside a simple hut built of wood and thatch, various stone artifacts and tools are displayed.

Huiyuan put down the goods she was carrying, looked around, and asked her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, do you live alone in this house?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness appeared on the mother-in-law's face, but she didn't stop what she was doing, replying as she tidied up, "Sigh...yes, it's just me now."

Seeing this expression, Huiyuan didn't ask any more questions.

The old woman used the fresh meat she had just exchanged with Hunyuan to make a pot of soup.

The stone pot smelled delicious, but Huiyuan didn't have much of an appetite because the soup hadn't been salted and was just an ordinary mushroom stew.

People in this era did not have the habit of adding salt when cooking, nor did they have the custom of making salt. This was probably because the Salt Demon and the Rock God did not have much interaction.

This did not satisfy her mother-in-law's wishes. Huiyuan took the stone bowl and pretended to eat it with gusto.

Watching Huiyuan eat, the mother-in-law closed her eyes as if she had returned to the past.

"My granddaughter also loves my cooking. When she was still alive, I would make soup for her whenever there was meat..."

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

"...Sigh, it's already dark. Let's eat and then go to sleep."

After finishing the meal, Huiyuan helped the old woman clean up the pots and pans before lying down on the stone bed.

At the same time, the old woman pulled down the straw curtain of the thatched hut and lay down on another empty bed to sleep.

Huiyuan recalled the expression on her mother-in-law's face when she talked about her granddaughter, and she could easily guess what had happened: either her family had left for distant lands, or she had died young.

After silently replacing the stone pillow with a soft one, she closed her eyes while listening to the lullaby played by the system.

Dim light shone into the thatched hut, and before long, the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.

Feeling her own body, Huiyuan's consciousness awakens in the "dream".

(This feeling...it feels so familiar.)

The sound of heavy water reached my ears, and my body slowly moved upwards. Light gradually appeared in my vision, as if it were shining through the water, crystal clear.

At the same time, a voice appeared in Huiyuan's mind.

"Morax...Morax---Morax-!!!"

Just as Huiyuan was wondering whose voice it was, the unfamiliar body was completely illuminated by light.

The unfamiliar body was illuminated, and Huiyuan instantly felt a sense of familiarity; it was none other than the Vortex Demon God, Oser.

Oser, whose three heads had been chopped off by Morax, looked at the location of his wounds with great anger.

As it gradually emerged from the water, Oser glared at the ocean horizon, and in that direction lay the territory of the two demon gods, Morax and Guizhong.

"Morax! Why do you get to enjoy the land while I have to stay in the water?"
