Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

The system's mechanical sound rang out.

"The ley line memory has been successfully analyzed, and the story 'The Hunter's Daughter' has been automatically played for the host."

--------

Three hundred years ago, a family made a living by hunting.

There was a girl named Annie, who was 7 years old and, like her parents, a member of the beast race with cat ears and a cat tail. She was very mischievous and lively, and often disobeyed her mother and ran around outside.

One day, her father Olaf went hunting, and Anne was very curious about how he hunted. So, relying on her natural hunting talent, she secretly followed her father.

Olaf drew his bow and arrow, but Anne accidentally stepped on a branch, making a slight noise that distracted Olaf, causing him to miss his target.

The wild boar was frightened away, and Olaf, in a panic, chased after it into some ruins. The deeper he went, the colder it became, until he saw a frozen tree. It was too late to turn back. His feet were frozen solid; the frozen tree mercilessly froze Olaf.

Anne waited outside the ruins for her father to come out with the wild boar, but as the sun began to set, he still hadn't emerged. Unable to contain her impatience, she ran inside.

Seeing her father's back, Annie shouted.

"Father!"

But there was no response. Curious, she walked forward, thinking that her father had discovered she was following him and was deliberately ignoring her.

But before she could take more than a few steps, Annie was so frightened by the sight before her that she dared not move at all.

The wind was biting cold, and my father was frozen in the ice. The wild boars around him, also frozen solid, stood motionless.

Realizing the danger, Annie ran outside. But she slipped and fell on the icy ground. The Frozen Tree heard the noise and turned to look at Annie...

Three hundred years later, one summer, an archaeological team from the Fools' Clan stumbled upon the ruins and discovered a little girl frozen inside a block of ice. Realizing the danger, they dared not venture further and instead took Annie back for further study.

Annie was successfully rescued, but her memories were not thawed. She didn't know why she was there, what her name was, or anything at all.

Seeing that Anne was no longer of any experimental value, and considering that she still had some fighting talent, they took her to the Fatui's training camp to train with the other children.

But even with his hunter's talent and racial advantages, he couldn't compare to the other brainwashed children who only saw battle. He was chosen by the Executor Doctor's slice and sent to the laboratory for experiments.

However, the transport team was stopped by Hunyuan, which is you.

The system display screen turned off, and the time flow returned to normal. Huiyuan looked at Olaf and then at Marta with a puzzled expression.

“Annie, how come you’ve grown so much all of a sudden? I’m Olaf, your father. Don’t you recognize me? What happened to those scars on your body?”

After Marta was thawed, she grew from 7 to 12 years old, and had many scars on her body that were not there before. Moreover, her personality changed from lively and cheerful to decisive and emotionless like a machine.

But driven by a deep-seated connection, Olaf was absolutely certain that Marta was his daughter.

Marta was troubled; since losing her memory, this was the first time someone had cared about her so much.

"I...don't know you. You may have mistaken me for someone else."

Huiyuan once tried to use the Negative State Purifier to cleanse the effects of amnesia, but it was to no avail; it only removed the brainwashing from the Fools.

Olaf became somewhat insecure, feeling that he had truly admitted his mistake.

"Sorry, maybe my brain got cold... haha..."

"You haven't admitted your mistake."

Huiyuan reached out and stopped Olaf, who was about to leave, and said.

“She is your daughter, Anne. She has lost her memory, and neither you nor your daughter belong to this era.”

After explaining the whole story, Huiyuan shifted all the blame to the Fools and began to speak.

"I know this from the research materials of the Fools."

Olaf said somewhat confusedly, "I...I understand...Annie, oh no...Martha prefers to stay with you, so I'll leave her in your care."

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. In terms of our relationship, I'm just her brother, teacher, and savior. You're still her father. Hmm... let's talk about it when we get back to Qingquan Town."

Marta thought for a moment and then said, "Although I have lost my memory, you are still my blood relative. If that's alright, may I call you Father?"

Olaf, seeing that Marta was no longer as lively as before, readily agreed.

"Of course... No matter what you become, you'll always be my daughter. Mr. Huiyuan, if possible, could you let me and Annie... no, let's call her Marta now. Could you let me and Marta spend some time together?"

"Of course, you can call her by her original name if you want, no one will mind. You'll probably settle down in Qingquan Town, right? I'll bring her to visit you there often."

"Thank you... thank you..."

Huiyuan looked at Marta and said.

"Martha, come with me today. There's a cooking competition going on in Spring Town."

"Ah."

After exiting the Dust Song Pot, Ying and Xiangling emerged from the ruins.

Paimon waved happily and shouted.

"Huiyuan! Guess what delicious food we found!"

"I guess it's frozen ancient wild boar meat."

Paimon's eyes widened in shock. "How did you know?!" he exclaimed.

Then he shifted his gaze to Marta.

"Martha? What are you doing out here?"

"Here's the thing."

After Huiyuan finished explaining, Paimon was so surprised that his mind couldn't process it all.

"So, Mr. Olaf and Marta are from three hundred years ago, and they're father and daughter?"

After confirming the answer, Xiangling spoke enthusiastically.

"Mr. Olaf, Sister Marta, let's go to Springvale! My cooking is delicious! Let's go now, or the ingredients will get stale!"

Back in Springstown, Olaf was somewhat dazed.

"Qingquan Town...has changed a lot, and it's gotten much bigger."

Dulav walked over, wondering why there was an extra person, so Huiyuan had to explain again.

Durov was so shocked that his jaw dropped.

"You're saying he's my ancestor? Olaf? This little girl is Olaf's daughter, who is also my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother?"

"Strictly speaking, it's your great-great ...

After searching through the family genealogy at home, Dulaf looked for Olaf's name.

“Yes, Olaf’s name and her daughter Anne’s name are indeed on the family tree. However, it says ‘missing’.”

"That's right."

Dulav looked at Olaf, unsure of what to say, when Xiangling broke the silence.

"Since we're so lucky to have met, then little Marta, Mr. Olaf, and Mr. Huiyuan, please be the judges for our cooking competition!"

Dulaf then spoke up: "Oh, right, I heard about the duel from Brock. I've already set up the venue. Come with me."

Marta was enjoying a fatherly love she had never experienced before, while Xiangling was confronting Brock.

"Our ingredients are ready, are yours?"

Brock, displaying an unwavering determination, declared, "Of course I'm ready. Siegfried will be my second-in-command during the duel."

Dulav began to formally announce.

"Now let's begin the competition, and we'll be the judges. Don't worry, although I've known Brock longer, I'll be a fair judge."

Hunyuan, Marta, and Olaf also nodded, indicating that they would officiate fairly.

Xiangling said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Miss Ying, Paimon, let's hurry up and get ready!"

Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "Are we going to participate too?!"

"Of course, since Brock has already found a deputy, you guys will be my deputies! We'll rely on you guys when it counts!"

Paimon started complaining.

"When did you become a deputy...?"

Ying was helpless against Xiangling's personality; she was always impulsive and unpredictable, making it impossible for her to keep up.

Helpless, Ying agreed, "There's nothing we can do about her..."

Paimon puffed out his chest and confidently agreed.

"Okay, I'll try my best for delicious food!"

Without a moment's rest, Brock and Xiangling immediately began cooking.

Martha usually stays in the Dust Song Pot, rarely speaking to the other cats, and is decisive in her actions. Aside from practicing swordsmanship and studying, she almost never gives herself time to rest. This is because she harbors a dream: to avenge a friend she met in the Fools' camp; she will never forget that day.

Marta enjoyed Olaf's pat on the head, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with the sensation, though she couldn't quite place it. The two gazed at the distant city of Mondstadt, basking in each other's warmth.

Olaf was deeply saddened to wake up three hundred years in the future. However, he remained optimistic, knowing that even in an era that was not his own, his blood relatives were still alive in the world.

Looking at Martha's tail, Olaf thought, "This child... even though she has amnesia, her habits haven't changed."

Marta felt comfortable, but she didn't know why she was happy. Nevertheless, she silently accepted Olaf's head pat.
