Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Gan Yu walked up the stone steps, making a light pattering sound.

Upon hearing this voice, Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi felt as if they had seen the sun of the next day, and instantly became happy.

Looking at the three people resting outside, Gan Yu put her hands on her hips and gently scolded, "You actually have the leisure to slack off here. It seems you really have the ability to take over from me."

Seeing this, Baiwen hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, no! We just... really worked for too long, and needed to take a break..."

Bai Xiao picked up where Bai Wen left off, adding, "I'm afraid I won't live to see Miss Gan Yu..."

At this moment, Bai Shi, who was already unable to open his eyes due to nearsightedness, felt a deep sense of kinship when he looked at Gan Yu in his eyes, and tears were about to well up in his eyes.

"Miss Gan Yu, we miss you so much..."

Hearing Bai Shi's cheesy words, Gan Yu lowered her hands from her hips and didn't dare to scold him anymore.

Seeing the sense of security emanating from the eyes of the three women, Gan Yu asked in confusion, "Hmm, I think I've only met you all once, yet you're talking so intimately..."

Seeing that the kind, beautiful, and charming Senior Gan Yu was confused, Bai Wen explained.

"Because we've been eagerly awaiting your return day and night so you can take over the work again..."

Bai Shi said gratefully, "Your appearance is like a celestial being descending to earth to save the world..."

Bai Xiao chimed in, "Those old feelings of defiance don't matter anymore; I just want to get out of this grueling work as soon as possible..."

Seeing the gratitude in the eyes of the three women widening and gradually evolving into love, Gan Yu quickly took a step back.

"Alright, alright, I understand. Please categorize your work into government affairs, business affairs, and civil affairs, and mark which ones haven't started and which ones are already in progress... Leave the rest to me."

Bai Wen nodded happily upon hearing Gan Yu's instructions.

"Okay! We'll get on it right now!"

Bai Shi let out a long sigh and said, "Finally...we're saved..."

Then, the three Baiwen sisters went into the house and began to handle things according to Gan Yu's instructions.

Seeing the three women leave, Gan Yu turned around and looked back.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing... Traveler, Miss Lingling, I want to express my sincere gratitude to you both. Thanks to your companionship during this time... otherwise, I might still be stuck in my inner turmoil."

Ying smiled and replied, "I've had a very happy journey too."

Huiyuan nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Gan Yu lowered her head happily.

"It's so wonderful to have human friends outside of work. Traveler, once I've finished my work, as a way of repaying you, please let me accompany you... on a short trip of your journey?"

Hearing these words, which sounded like a confession, Paimon thought of a question.

"But... is Miss Gan Yu really able to finish all her work?"

Gan Yu was stunned when she heard the question.

Gan Yu pondered anxiously for a moment, then, as if she had made up her mind, she gave a firm "hmm".

"Let's leave the future to the future..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Ying, Gan Yu returned to her office, where Huiyuan began to ponder her next plan.

(I originally wanted to do something with Mora, but considering the timing, the Lantern Festival should be starting in about ten days. And... the atmosphere at Moonsea Pavilion seems quite busy lately. Ningguang probably won't have time to receive me... so...)

At that moment, Paimon floated over and asked, "Sister Lingling, what are you planning to do next? Are you going to continue looking for Ningguang?"

"No, I seem to have a lot of official business lately, so I won't trouble her."

"Hmm. Well... it's getting late..."

Seeing the expectant expression on Paimon's face, Huiyuan immediately understood what he was thinking.

"Didn't you eat enough earlier? Let's go to Wanmintang..."

Upon arriving at Wanmintang, Huiyuan glanced at Xiangling, who was tossing the wok in the kitchen, and the rice crust that was spitting fire, but didn't pay much attention. She found a seat and sat down.

Seeing that Huiyuan had taken a seat, Ying took the initiative to go into the kitchen and greet Xiangling.

"Xiangling".

Upon hearing this sound, Xiangling poured the vegetables into the plate and turned her head away.

"Traveler, it's you! Are you coming to eat at my place? How many are in your party? Perfect timing, I've recently come up with a new dish, I'll make it for you to try now."

"There are three people: me, Paimon, and Sister Lingling."

"Sister Lingling...? Oh, I remember now! She's that cute and pretty girl from when Zhongli treated us to dinner, right?"

Seeing Xiangling's reaction, Ying tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Xiangling, aren't you very familiar with her? Why do you look like you don't know her?"

"Do I know her?"

"We know each other."

"Huh? When did you meet?"

"Back in Springvale, you and Brock had a cooking competition. Didn't you get to know each other then?"

"Huh? Traveler... what are you talking about...? Wasn't Mr. Huiyuan the only person I knew back then? Wait... Mr. Huiyuan..."

Suddenly realizing something, Xiangling looked at the black cat lying on the bench outside.

Same eye color, same fur color, same personality...

"Isn't that... Mr. Huiyuan's black cat? Could it be that Miss Lingling is... Huiyuan's older sister or younger sister?"

Seeing this, Ying patted her head, realizing what was going on.

After thinking for a while, Ying explained, "Actually... Sister Lingling is Huiyuan."

"Oh...I see...Huh? What?! That cute girl, is...is it Huiyuan?! A girl...? A boy...? A girl...! What happened...she turned into a girl???"

Seeing Xiangling's surprise, Ying looked confused.

"I think Sister Lingling is a girl by nature."

"Is that so? No, that's not right. Ever since Huiyuan appeared in Liyue Harbor, the rumors have been that he came as a gentleman. How could he be a girl?"

Seeing Xiangling's incredulous expression, Ying explained.

"If you don't believe me... look at Sister Lingling's actions and habits... aren't they exactly the same as a girl's?"

Following Ying's gaze, Xiangling secretly glanced over and nodded.

Seeing this, Ying continued, "Look again... her skin and hair are so perfectly maintained... how could she possibly be a boy? I've never seen such amazing disguise... even immortals have flaws in their transformation techniques, right?"
