Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Toller stared intently at the clay statue of the dragon-shaped emperor.

"Brother... no, sister. What is this?"

The reason I changed my address to "sister" was because I was afraid others would notice something was wrong. How could a grown woman call someone "brother"?

"This is a clay sculpture of the Rock King Emperor. It was made by craftsmen based on the image of the emperor at that time during the annual ceremony of inviting the immortals."

Toller observed carefully for a while and commented, "It's completely different from the video I saw at the maid's place."

At this point, the street vendors got angry.

"Hey, little girl. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is a slight modification based on the original Emperor. Appropriate changes to the details to conform to the public's impression will make the Emperor's image more three-dimensional."

Toller was startled by the vendor who suddenly spoke loudly.

Lingling shielded Toller, glaring angrily at the vendor. Even though the vendor was right, why was he speaking so loudly?! And this change—wasn't it a negative optimization?!

"What you said is true. But why change the details? Is it because you think His Majesty is not good-looking?"

The vendor panicked instantly; Huiyuan's move directly labeled the vendor's behavior as disrespect for the Emperor.

The first law signed when Liyue was founded was that no one should disrespect the Geo Archon or address him by his real name.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Just then, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Oh? Since you have your own insights into the Emperor's Dharma form, then tell me your explanation. Also, I've never seen anyone with a face like yours around here. Do you have a license to sell them?"

Turning around, the person was none other than Ke Maomao, also known as Ke Qing of the contemporary Jade Balance Star.

The vendor was speechless for a moment, but still stood firm and said, "Who are you? Do you have the right to check my license?"

"I am..."

Keqing was about to speak when Huiyuan stopped her. Huiyuan took out her identity badge and summoned the Thousand Rock Army.

A member of the Thousand Rock Army arrived and performed the Thousand Rock Army salute.

"Captain of the 84th Squadron, responsible for patrolling Liyue Harbor, unit number 'Zhi 343'. Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

This Thousand Rock Army soldier was burly and imposing, clad in heavy armor yet showing no signs of fatigue. He wielded a spear, his eyes gleaming, clearly a formidable warrior. Even at his waist hung a fire-attribute Divine Eye.

Huiyuan took out the "Dawn" general's badge and showed it to the Thousand Rock Army soldier.

"This is the insignia of the 'Dawn' General; seeing this is like seeing the man himself. Now, in the name of the 'Dawn' General, I request that you investigate this person's trafficking license."

After catching the vendor who was trying to escape, the Chiiwa soldier began to investigate according to procedure.

At this moment, the cat next to him looked at the identity badge and felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Isn't this... the identity badge that the Emperor requested to be given to someone during the Seven Stars Conference? I never expected to meet him here. The person recommended by the Emperor must be extraordinary.

Ke Mao Mao pretended to be suspicious and started a conversation.

"The 'Dawn' General? I heard he was a man, but seeing this badge today, it seems he's a woman?"

Lingling scratched her head and made up a lie.

"General Dawn is incredibly powerful and has many friends. I'm just... keeping this badge safe for him."

But how could such a lie possibly fool Ke Qing?

I had long heard that General Dawn possessed extraordinary abilities and could even transform himself. He had previously transformed into a woman to visit Tianquan Star at the Jade Pavilion.

How could someone recommended by His Majesty the Emperor possibly entrust their badge to someone else for safekeeping? This person before me must be General Huiyuan in disguise.

"Hmph, I'll just believe half of it for now."

Carved Cat glanced at the two catgirls beside her, then turned and said goodbye.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

The ceremony to invite the immortals is about to begin, and Ke Mao Mao is busy. But why is she here? Is she buying an Emperor figurine? Ke Mao Mao is so cute and aloof.

How about... having Ptole create a wooden sculpture of the Emperor? Hmm... that's a good idea.

Lina tugged at Lingling's sleeve and asked疑惑地问道, "Sister, who is that sister with the purple cat ears? You two seem to know each other..."

Huiyuan looked down at Lina.

Why does she look so jealous? Hmm... could it be that she's mistaken Keqing for a cat-eared beastman too? I remember Keqing's hairstyle only resembles cat ears; she's human, right? And... she doesn't have a cat tail.

Huiyuan patted Lina's head and comforted her affectionately.

"She's from the Jade Balance Star. What... are you jealous?"

Lina unlocked her tsundere side, turning her head away just like Keqing.

"Hmph~ I was just curious."

"Okay, okay, I love Lina the most~"

I reached out and tried to grab the other cat's paw, but I missed.

A sudden panic gripped him. Turning around, he realized that Ptole had already been drawn to another Emperor puppet.

Thank goodness, at least they weren't kidnapped.

"Little one, you like this doll of the Emperor, don't you? It's such a cute little doll. How about I sell it to you at half price?"

Toller nodded excitedly. Then Huiyuan came over and paid for Toller.

Ptole's cat tail swayed from side to side as he stared at the Emperor's doll, drooling.

"Sister Lingling, I want to carve a wooden sculpture that looks exactly like the Emperor!"

"Alright, I'll take you to invite the Immortal Ceremony in a few days so you can see for yourself what the Emperor looks like."

Although it was said that the Emperor would feign death during the summoning ceremony in a few days, the immortal ancestral mortal body used for the feigned death is exactly the same as the Emperor's original form. As long as one is the Dawn General, one can freely observe it.

"Okay, thank you, brother... sister!"

Huiyuan looked towards the storyteller and said to the two cats, "Let's go listen to the story and try some Liyue tea while we're at it."

......

"Last time, we talked about how the Emperor added the finishing touch to the dragon painting..."

The storyteller on stage stirred up the crowd's emotions, telling exaggerated yet seemingly fabricated stories.

Lina and Toller are Mondstadt children and don't understand Liyue language. They usually communicate with Huiyuan in Teyvat common language.

Huiyuan usually learns other languages, and Teyvat is the easiest to learn with the fewest accents. Even a 3-year-old can learn it and speak a few fluent sentences.

Although they mostly communicate in Teyvat Common, Huiyuan learns a little Mongolian German every day, so she can also communicate in Mongolian German. It's just that the cats are more used to using Teyvat Common.
