Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

"Ugh... this tea is so bitter..."

Neither Lina nor Toler were used to eating bitter things, let alone drinking tea.

At this moment, a well-dressed man at the next table spoke up: "If you're not used to this kind of tea, you can try this one."

That person was Zhongli.

Lina looked at Zhongli and asked him in Teyvat common language.

Is the tea made from this type of tea sweet?

Zhongli took a sip of tea and said, "It's not bitter, it's sweet like dew."

Ptole also took a taste.

"Wow! It really is! I thought there was only bitter tea leaves in the world!"

Zhongli narrowed his eyes deeply and began to speak eloquently.

"The world is full of wonders. Tea, of course, has a thousand flavors and a thousand colors..."

The two cats were stunned. They didn't understand, but it seemed very sophisticated to them.

Huiyuan bowed respectfully to Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, we meet again."

Zhong Li nodded slightly and said, "Miss Lingling."

Zhongli, as the Rock King Emperor, is a deity. Of course, he can see Lingling's true identity and also know, through some methods, what Huiyuan's name is in this form.

Only then did the two cats realize that Zhongli was Huiyuan's friend.

After Huiyuan sat down opposite Zhongli, she let the two cats sit next to her.

Huiyuan glanced at Toler, then turned to Zhongli and said, "The Immortal Invitation Ceremony is in a few days. My younger sister wants to carve a wooden sculpture based on His Majesty the Emperor's dragon form. I wonder if Mr. Zhongli has any suggestions?"

"I know a little about it, but I'm not good at this kind of craft. Luckily, I know an old friend who lives in the mountains. She's skilled in mechanical devices, as well as various crafts like sculptures and clay figures. If you're interested, I can take you to see her."

It must be referring to the True Lord of Retaining Clouds and Borrowing Wind, right?

"Then thank you very much, Mr. Zhongli..."

As the storyteller closed his folding fan, he announced in a clear voice, "To find out what happens next, please listen to the next chapter."

Zhongli stood up, bowed, and said goodbye, "I have some things to attend to, Miss Lingling. See you another day."

"Okay, goodbye. Lina, Toler, let's go too."

Lina said, "Sister, I want to see the sea."

"Okay, let's go to the port then."

......

Speaking of the sea, what if we go into the sea and encounter Oser, the "Whirlpool Demon God" whom the Emperor used to test Liyue?

Lina licked her fingers, which were covered in seawater, and said, "Seawater really is salty..."

Hmm... how about we go to the beach and call the other cats out to play together?

...

Lina changed into the swimsuit provided by the system and ran on the beach.

"The sea! The beach! Wuhu!"

The other cats also changed into various swimsuits, all of which were very cute.

Courtney lay on her swimming ring, leisurely sunbathing in the sea. How could the vast ocean possibly deter Courtney's will to pursue freedom?

Marta, who pursues force and is a perfectionist, is actually testing the waters little by little with her cat claws.

Cats are afraid of water, after all.

Courtney looked at Marta, who was afraid of water, with a timid, girlish expression, and spoke in a tone that made the cat's claws hard.

"You little fish, you're such a little fish, Sister Marta. You're scared of this little bit of water?"

Marta's face darkened. She took ten meters back and assumed a starting position. Then, she took a running start and jumped, landing precisely on Courtney's head.

Neither of them could swim, and after they collided, they both fell into the water.

There were only two cats that could swim. Sori and Maria, seeing the two cats fall into the water, reluctantly jumped in to rescue them.

They were both excellent swimmers. Before Huiyuan could even make a move, the two cats struggling in the water were rescued.

Sori scolded, "Can't you two get along? Stop fighting all the time. If no one had saved you, you'd both be dead!"

Marta lowered her head and silently said sorry. Courtney was slightly resentful, but still apologized.

Toller was building a sandcastle, while the curious cat Vincent watched and offered suggestions.

"How about we try using sand mixed with water?"

Ptole suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Good idea, this will make the sand more stable. It'll be a bit heavier though..."

...

Huiyuan and Lina's mother, Alina, was lying under a parasol, enjoying the scenery. Huiyuan, who had transformed into Lingling, was forced to wear a swimsuit by the cats, looking utterly dejected.

Lina volunteered, took out the sunscreen and said, "I'll apply sunscreen to Sister Lingling and the cat!"

Lina squeezed some sunscreen onto Huiyuan's back and spread it evenly with her small hands.

The icy touch spread throughout my body, and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Next up are the legs~"

Huiyuan had no chance to resist at all; she had already been thoroughly played with by the cats...

Lina licked her lips, as if savoring some delicious food, and set her sights on Lingling's two large breasts.

"We can't forget this either!"

As she spoke, she untied the drawstring of her shirt and began applying sunscreen.

Although Lingling looked utterly dejected, the touch of the kitten's little paws, the feeling of them gliding over her body, was incredibly comforting. She felt completely relaxed, utterly powerless, and had collapsed into a puddle of water.

Why is it that when I become Lingling, I'm always in a vulnerable state? It must be the system's doing!

The cats set up a volleyball net and started playing volleyball.

Lingling, who had just had sunscreen applied, was buried in the sand by the cats. The expressions on their faces all turned into those of "energy-saving Qingyi" (a cat in a traditional Chinese dress).

Martha appeared from among the cats, making a super-agile save to prevent the ball from hitting the ground. The other cats caught it and slapped it back.

On the opposite side, the male cat, Hart, held a magic book and began chanting.

"Wind spirits of the plains, give hope back to those who weep, are angry, and are in despair!"

After the chant was finished, the volleyball, which had been flying at high speed, flew back along a trajectory contrary to Newton's laws of physics.

Hannah, a female cat who aspires to become a veterinarian, started complaining.

"You cheated! How could you use a magic book!"

Hart panicked.

"Huh? No... it can't be used?"

"Isn't that just common sense?!"

Sori mediated.

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. That last point doesn't count, let's play another game."

Maria, the adorable female cat and everyone's mascot, worriedly tried to dissuade them.

"Everyone...everyone, please don't fight. Aren't we supposed to be best friends forever..."

Maria, who was almost in tears, finished speaking. The cats calmed down and became harmonious and friendly again.

"Only good friends argue, don't cry, don't cry."

"Mmm, Maria, don't cry."
