Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 35 Post-event processing

Upon exiting the cave, the first thing Huiyuan discovered was Tvalin.

"Dvalin? What brings you here?"

Dvalin looked at Hunyuan and let out an unintelligible dragon roar, which Wendy translated while rubbing her nose.

"Tvalin said: It sensed that you were in danger, so it came to see what was going on. Hehe, Tvalin is so proud. As soon as it sensed that you were in danger, it flew over and called me, and flew over without stopping."

Dvalin gave a haughty "humph," ignored Wendy, and flew away.

"Hey? Why did you leave? Oh, right—there's a young lady over there who's seriously injured, you should go check on her."

Huiyuan hummed in agreement and walked in the direction Wendy pointed.

The nine cats were unharmed, but Alina's injuries were very serious. This was likely due to her struggling before being kidnapped by the doctor.

Huiyuan quickly arranged for her to use a purifier and a Senzu Bean set to restore her condition, and then untied the cats.

Lina looked at her brother Huiyuan, no... now her sister, with tears welling up in her eyes.

"No need for thanks, let's start with the Dust Song Pot."

After sending Alina and the other cats into the Dust Jar, Hunyuan said goodbye to Wendy and returned to the Mondstadt inn.

They flew back as well, but without making as much noise as before. It was already late at night. After Huiyuan returned to her original form, she climbed through the window into the hotel and saw two people.

"Sun Wu, Chen Ping'an, why didn't you see a doctor while you were in the hotel?"

Sun Wu explained, "The doctor said it's nothing serious, just a few days of rest. By the way, about the Fools..."

"It's been resolved. You all get some rest tonight, and head back to Liyue tomorrow."

After giving their instructions, everyone returned to their rooms.

Huiyuan entered the Dust Song Pot. In the living room, Lina was looking after her mother.

"Brother Huiyuan..."

At Lina's insistence, Alina obediently lay down on the sofa. It had already been explained that it was Huiyuan who saved her.

"Mr. Huiyuan, you've helped me again..."

"You're welcome. As long as Lina can smile, that's worth more than anything else."

Speaking of which... the mad doctor's slice is looked down upon by the other doctor's slices, so I hope Huiyuan won't be targeted for revenge or anything.

Moreover, the manner of his death was too strange. In the eyes of the other fragments, the Mad Doctor's voice suddenly disappeared, and no one knew how he died. With such mysterious methods, even if the top three seats of the Fatui possessed abilities comparable to gods, the second-place Doctor dared not do anything.

Now there's only one thing to deal with: Alina's punishment. Alina's kindness led to the mission's failure. She also violated regulations by giving birth during her service. Although we don't know how severe the punishment will be, let's help her out.

The governor, "Prince," loves fighting, but he cares more about his family. If Huiyuan has a chance encounter with Prince that leads to an unexpected friendship, they can become friends.

As for persuading the young master to help Alina, that's quite simple. The young master values family, and he would also like someone who values family in the same way.

Alina is willing to risk sabotaging a mission for the sake of her child. The young master would definitely help someone like that. Even if he wouldn't, he would help out of respect for Huiyuan.

After a long silence, Alina spoke.

“Mr. Huiyuan, as a soldier of the Fools, I have done many evil deeds. I am not worthy of your help.”

Huiyuan sat down on the sofa and looked at Alina sternly.

“One thing at a time. You are Lina’s biological mother. I saved you because I didn’t want to see Lina’s sad face. If you feel guilty, then make amends for your mistakes. If you can’t make amends for your mistakes, then bear your sins, stop doing evil, and do more good. You are kind by nature, and you have inherited this from Lina, there is no doubt about that.”

Huiyuan poured two cups of tea and continued talking.

"Those who need to be punished are those who are unwilling to take responsibility, or even to admit their sins. Alina, are you willing to bear the consequences of your sins?"

The reason why a person who is willing to bear his sins does not need to be punished is because he will punish himself voluntarily.

Alina, sitting opposite Huiyuan, felt a strange fear as she looked at Huiyuan, who seemed like a completely different person.

Seeing Alina's hesitation, Huiyuan realized the reason.

It's probably because of her faith in the Ice God that she's unwilling to directly shed her identity as a member of the Fatui. If she were to directly shed that identity, it would be seen as disrespectful to the Ice God.

Huiyuan spoke again.

Whether the victims will forgive you after you go to atone for your sins is another matter. What matters is whether you do it or not. Don't just sit and wait for your fate because you won't be forgiven.

After taking a sip of tea and scrutinizing Alina once more, Huiyuan continued.

"Since you've voluntarily confessed to your wrongdoing, I'll give you a chance. I'll petition the Executor 'Young Master' to have you expelled from the Fools as punishment for violating military regulations. Afterward, come with me; as the first step in settling your sins, you can live happily ever after with Lina."

Alina's faith in the Ice God is very strong. If she does not accept military discipline and directly joins Hunyuan, she will be considered to have betrayed the Queen.

Alina exclaimed in shock.

"Do you know the Executive Officer?"

“I know him. As long as you are dismissed and then atone for your sins, it won’t be considered betraying the Queen, right? Besides, I am the young master’s friend, and working for the executor’s friend… that doesn’t count as disloyalty to the Queen, does it?”

Huiyuan told a lie, but it wasn't a true lie. Although they don't know each other yet, they will definitely get to know each other within the next month.

Alina finally agreed.

“I am willing to bear the consequences of my sins. I will spend the rest of my life repaying Mr. Huiyuan’s kindness.”

"That's enough for me. I believe you will keep your promise. The Doctor's Slice that you provoked has been dealt with. You are still a soldier of the Fatui, so you should have a mission to complete. I won't stop you from completing your mission, as long as you don't harm anyone."

"Um, I... was found to have violated military regulations and am currently suspended pending investigation, awaiting sentencing in a year. So right now... I don't need to do any missions..."

"...Then you can stay here. I'll let you know when I'm done."

No wonder she wasn't wearing the Fools' uniform; she was dressed like an ordinary person. I thought Sister Tong had changed her clothes.

Lina breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huiyuan had returned to her former gentle self.

Huiyuan looked at Lina and comforted her.

"I'm sorry, Lina. Was I a little too fierce just now? Did I scare you?"

"No...no, I'm just worried that my brother will hate Mom."

Huiyuan patted Lina's head and said.

"Cherish your mother... It's getting late, go to sleep."

After the maid robot arranged a room for Alina and Lina, Huiyuan left Chengehu and lay down on the bed in the inn.

"System, System, Sister System, are you there? Are you there? Are you there?"

Having experienced a system disconnection once, and in a dark and terrifying environment while enduring pain during an experimental surgery, Huiyuan developed a psychological trauma, fearing that the system would remain silent.

The familiar mechanical voice, yet full of emotion, instantly put Huiyuan at ease.

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, host, what's wrong?"

"It's good that you're here..."

"Host, you're not going to develop psychological trauma, are you?"

"It's more than just a psychological trauma; it feels like PTSD."

"Don't worry, I'll always be here. We've detected that the host is under too much mental stress. We recommend using the Negative Status Purifier."

"Can a negative state purifier also cure mental illnesses?"

"No, but it can prevent sudden onset of the patient's illness and relieve emotional distress."

After spraying myself with the air purifier, I felt much better.

Exhausted from a long day, Master Hui drifted off to sleep peacefully.
