Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Ying brought the two cats back indoors and sat on the sofa to Huiyuan's left. Watching Huiyuan stroking Courtney's head, she asked curiously.

"Huiyuan, who are these children?"

“They are children I rescued from the clutches of the fools. They had no one to rely on, so they chose to follow me.”

"I see... How did you become Li Tiantian before?"

"My special ability is that I become stronger when I transform into that form. The immortals of Liyue also possess some transformation techniques, allowing them to transform into any form they desire. However, this only changes their appearance, not their strength."

"Are you an immortal?"

"No, I'm just a mortal. But I also have another identity, the same one as yours... someone from 'outside the world.'"

"Then, do you know that god...?"

Before Ying could ask her question, Huiyuan answered, "I don't know her. When I came to this world, I never saw the god you're thinking of. I only know she's the 'Supporter of Heavenly Law,' but even if you knew of her existence, with our current strength combined, we couldn't defeat her."

After a long silence, Ying asked again, "Do you know where my brother is?"

"I don't know. After we resolve the Dvalin issue, let's go to Liyue and see if we can find any clues."

Huiyuan really wanted to tell Ying about her brother. But even if she did, Ying would still need to travel through the seven kingdoms. Telling her beforehand was less effective than letting her find the truth herself. No wonder there were so many enigmatic characters in the story; explaining would be pointless, so it was better to leave it as a mystery.

Huiyuan sighed.

"Your power seems incomplete. Travel through the seven kingdoms to restore your strength and slowly find the meaning of your journey. May you and your brother be reunited someday. It's getting late, time to sleep. Goodnight, Ying."

"Good night."

Huiyuan handed Courtney, who was in her arms, to the maid robot, and then everyone went to their respective empty rooms to sleep.

I woke up the next morning and headed to the Dawn Winery.

"Huiyuan, are you really familiar with the way?"

"Of course! I've been there before, how could I not know the way?"

"Then explain why we haven't arrived at our destination by almost noon?"

"Well... well... it must be because the sun is moving too fast!"

Seeing Paimon arguing with Huiyuan, Ying burst out laughing.

"Stop arguing, look ahead."

After passing through the forest, we finally saw a large vineyard, with the winery located right in the center of it.

Paimon said, "Wow, it smells so good."

The aroma of grapes is slightly mixed with the aroma of wine; this unique fragrance is intoxicating.

"I told you we hadn't led you astray."

"Hmph, I'll let it go since you didn't lead us astray."

Ying looked towards the winery and spotted three figures. They were Diluc, Jean, and Wendy.

Paimon excitedly put his hands on his hips and clapped his hands.

"Hoo-hoo—The Dvalin Conservation Society! Assemble once more!"

"Then, quickly take out the collected crystals."

After Wendy finished speaking, Ying took out the three crystals she had collected. These crystals looked more cloudy than the ones she had collected before.

Looking at the crystals, Wendy became worried.

"Ah... the crystals seem even more murky... what kind of torment is Dvalin enduring..."

Wendy composed herself, but her brows still betrayed her worry.

"In any case, let's purify these crystals first. I'm counting on you, traveler from a foreign land."

Ying stretched out a hand, turning sideways towards the three crystals. The red substances were absorbed and purified by Ying. But rather than being purified, it was more accurate to say that Ying absorbed their power.

In the game's storyline, Huiyuan already knew that Ying's brother was the prince of the Abyss. Ying could, of course, also absorb power related to the Abyss.

Qin marveled at Ying's special ability.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I truly wouldn't believe it..."

Diluc used an analogy: "It's very interesting. Like filtering wine, it's refreshing."

Wendy's expression completely relaxed, and she shifted her gaze from the crystal to the luminous body, saying, "This many teardrops are enough. Now, like last time, drip them onto the Sky Harp."

Ying nodded, took out the Sky Harp, and dripped the teardrop crystals onto it.

The Sky Harp shone even brighter. If the old general, upon donning armor, possessed the spirit of his youth, then now, the old general, upon donning armor, instantly rejuvenated, wielding his once-unwieldy spear with renewed vigor.

Qin was amazed after witnessing the changes in the Sky Harp.

"It feels completely different from before."

Wendy checked and said, "The wind element... is overflowing to a lively level. In that case, it should be fine. Thanks to you, Traveler."

Seeing that the plan had progressed to the next stage, Qin began to ponder what to do next.

"So, where should we call for Dvalin? It's definitely not an option within Mondstadt; failure there would cause irreparable damage. And right here at the winery, obviously..."

When Diluc heard that Jean had actually considered calling out to Dvalin from her own winery, he suddenly said, "Losing the winery isn't an irreparable loss, but it's best not to."

For a moment, Qin didn't know where to call out to Dvalin, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Jean couldn't think of a solution, Wendy offered her suggestion directly.

"Sea breezes or winds from high places can carry a poet's song further. If the air is dry, stuffy, and oppressive, not only poets, but even dragons would be angry."

Paimon pondered for a moment, then said, "I see. Sea breeze or wind from high places, is that right? So, the most suitable place to perform must be..."

Ying pondered for a moment and said, "Glide through the air while launching missiles?"

Qin started complaining.

"Even Amber couldn't do something like that."

At this point, Diluc demonstrated his geographical knowledge and offered his advice.

“A short distance east of Starfall Lake, south of the beach, lies a mountainous area. Climbing along the direction the mountain extends, you can reach a place called Star-Picking Cliff.”

Diluc crossed his arms and looked at Wendy, saying, "Singer, you can find the sea breeze and the wind from high places that you want there."

"Hmm... let me think... Star-Picking Cliff, right..."

Wendy mentally recalled what Starcliff was, then used the wind element to sense its location and nodded in affirmation.

"It's a really great location, a place that really complements my singing."

Qin, caught up in her professional instincts, subconsciously issued a command, telling everyone to get ready and assemble at Zhaixing Cliff, with no one allowed to be late. Realizing her mistake, she scratched her head in shame and apologized.

After finalizing the plans, everyone decided to have lunch at Dawn Winery. Ying chatted with everyone, asking questions.

Ying walked to the fence and admired the scenery by the fence.

"What's wrong, Yingmei?"

"I have some questions for you. You and I are from outside this world. How did you become the General of Liyue?"

“One day, I met Morax, the Geo Archon of Liyue. I made a pact with him, and Liyue would do its best to help me live in this world, in exchange for me helping Liyue once in return. After meeting Tianquan, one of the seven stars of Liyue, he granted me the power of a general, and I called myself the Dawn General.”

Why help Tvalin?

"Dvalin is in such a state that even if the curse is lifted, he won't live for many more years. But I have an item that can restore him to his original state and allow him to live longer. Since I have the ability to do it, why not do it?"

Wendy was eavesdropping on the second-floor balcony. Upon hearing what Huiyuan said, she played the harp with a slight feeling.

Dvalin was a friend of the wind god; he once listened to the wind's song with Barbatos and played the dandelion's poem together. This friendship warmed Huiyuan's heart.

"If we could live a little longer, we would have no regrets."

At this moment, the system voice announced: "The progress of the quest 'Journey to Mondstadt' has been updated. The next stage objective is 'Restore Dvalin to normal.' Quest rewards: Heart of the Wind God (system-generated), new skin 'Lingling,' skin appearance as shown below (see novel cover), complete Sky Harp, and random skill rewards."
