Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 256 Xiao City

"True Lord Liuyun, it's been a long time. Have you missed me?"

"Immortals live long lives, so it's not uncommon for them to go several years without seeing each other. It would be strange if I missed you. The kittens probably miss you more than I do."

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan turned to look at the cats.

They would occasionally stop their practice and steal glances in their direction, their faces beaming with delight.

Huiyuan smiled and waved, signaling them to practice their skills first.

"Oh dear, I clearly changed my appearance, but they still recognized me. Could it be that you taught them some kind of technique to sense auras?"

"Of course, I've put in a lot of effort teaching them these past few days. By the way, you came here today for something, right?"

"Yes, I do... I want to learn martial arts."

"Hmm...? You didn't know martial arts before?"

"That's right. Don't be fooled by how well I perform my moves; I'm just imitating the actions, not really grasping the essence. As for why I suddenly had the urge to learn martial arts... the reason is simple. If all the kids know martial arts, and I'm still a complete novice, how can that work?"

After hearing Huiyuan's explanation, Liuyun Zhenjun happily flapped his wings, flew up from the sun chair, and suddenly transformed into human form.

"I see, I see... Then this immortal will teach you a few tricks and methods."

His hair, as smooth as a gentle breeze, made Liu Yun Zhenjun appear ethereal and otherworldly.

Beneath the reddish-brown eye sockets, the light blue pupils are even more captivating.

"While I excel at mechanical arts, my magical abilities are not to be underestimated. The technique I just used is called 'Rising Crane Clouds,' which allows one to walk on air freely. Although it's a technique I developed specifically for myself, even those who aren't crane immortals can cultivate it, though it's not easy to understand."

Huiyuan listened to Liuyun's story and began to think.

Although he can condense wind element clouds to fly in the air, and can even use brute force to release wind element and force himself to fly, these methods are very physically demanding.

Moreover, the disadvantages of wind element clouds are not only that they consume stamina, but also that they are slow when descending.

No matter how fast the clouds fly, Huiyuan will still have to stand on them in the end. If she wants to land, she can only rely on gravity.

If there were a move that allowed one to fly through the air... without consuming stamina, and that was both agile and fast, that would be incredibly convenient.

After thinking it over, Huiyuan nodded and said, "I'll learn. But... I need to learn it within three days."

"Okay! Wait... three days? You think you can learn that?"

"Just teach me how to circulate my energy, and I will naturally become proficient in the rest."

"So confident? Okay, where should we start teaching..."

"Teach me how to skillfully control my magical power first."

"Huh?! You can't control immortal power?"

Upon hearing Huiyuan's words, True Lord Liuyun broke out in a cold sweat.

Is it possible to teach someone how to cultivate their internal energy in just three days... and even start from the basics of sensing immortal power?

Liu Yun didn't have to question it for long before Hui Yuan changed her skin and became Li Tiantian's body.

Huiyuan hasn't forgotten that in Litiantian's skin state, the "Leisurely" weapon version is a celestial weapon version.

In other words, Li Tiantian's skin is very likely to be a perfect match for fairy power.

"How will you know if you can learn it if you don't try?"

After saying that, Huiyuan, beneath her mature and sophisticated appearance, revealed a wicked smile.

As the sun sets, the vast Liyue Harbor gradually comes alive.

Under the moonlight, countless lanterns floated in the air, carried by the wind towards the sea.

The city of Xiao is noisy and bustling, but that doesn't stop Ying and Paimon from pursuing delicious food.

After crossing the bridge, a familiar figure appeared before them.

It turned out that the owner of the "Wanyou Shop," who had been evading taxes, had become interested in Paimon's price.

"Hey sis, if I may ask, how much would you sell this little thing floating around you for?"

Ying pondered for a moment and replied, "You can't afford the price I've set."

Paimon was about to say, "Friendship is priceless," but Ying's reply left him speechless.

What does that mean? Can Paimon be sold?

Even though he knew that Ying wouldn't sell him out, Paimon still made a sarcastic remark.

"That sounds a bit odd! To be honest, I'm a little concerned... what exactly is the price... oh well, I'll just take that as you saying 'I won't sell it for any price.'"

Seeing the two close friends, Boss Bo smiled.

"Hahaha, I'm short on cash lately, so I really can't afford to pay a high price. After all, I'm just an ordinary businessman, and I don't deal in rare and exotic treasures."

Paimon didn't believe a word the other person said.

Paimon still remembers Bolai's tax evasion!

"That's really suspicious..."

"Don't say that. Little one, would you like some candy?"

Seeing Paimon's suspicious expression, Bolai took out a mint.

Paimon became excited instantly upon hearing that there was candy to eat.

"Traveler, I believe this person can be trusted!"

How should I put it? As expected of Paimon, he trusts you completely when you give him candy.

Fortunately, the owner of Bolai is a fairly familiar person, so he wouldn't poison the candy.

Paimon took the mint, peeled off the wrapper, and ate it.

You have to understand that sugar was a luxury in an era before industrial development, so it's no wonder Paimon didn't like it.

"By the way, you guys came to Liyue for the Lantern Festival, right? This year's Lantern Festival is going to be spectacular. The 'Floating Stone' used to make the giant lanterns float is the largest one in twenty years. It's so big that it makes you wonder, if the floating city in the clouds in mythology really existed... it would just be a floating stone of about the same size sitting underneath."

Good heavens! The Jade Pavilion has only been gone for a month or so, and it's already become a legend?

Ningguang exclaimed, "Qunyu Pavilion! My Qunyu Pavilion!"

Actually, the reason why this year's Floating Stone is so big is because Ningguang has secretly started the reconstruction plan of the Jade Pavilion.

They secretly searched for a lot of floating stones, and the floating stone used by the Bright Night Lantern was already considered small.

After hearing what Boss Bolai said, Paimon couldn't help but become curious.

"That sounds amazing!"

"Hahaha, see you again someday. Welcome to Liyue—this doesn't represent Liyue Harbor, but my little shop will always welcome you."

Although he had previously joined forces with Gan Yu to uncover evidence of Bo Lai's tax evasion, Bo Lai was more concerned about the matter of Ying using Fei Yun Chamber of Commerce's money to acquire Shi Po at a high price a long time ago.

The difference between what you gain and what you lose is enormous.

That's why Bolai is treating Ying and Paimon so well now.

After waving goodbye, Ying and Paimon walked deeper into Xiao City, marveling at the sight as they went.

The stalls were overflowing with a dazzling array of goods, and their vibrant colors were sure to ignite a surge in consumer desire.
