Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

After everyone finished dinner, they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

The next day, Huiyuan arrived at Qunyu Pavilion ahead of time and waited for Yingmei to arrive with Ningguang.

On the other side, Ying and Paimeng were figuring out how to get onto the Qunyu Pavilion.

After the two arrived at Tianheng Mountain, Paimeng pointed to the Qunyu Pavilion in the sky and said, "Look! That's the Qunyu Pavilion in the sky."

Even if the two climbed to the top of the mountain, they could only look at the base of the Jade Pavilion in the sky.

Even Ying, who has traveled extensively around the world, couldn't help but marvel at it.

"so high."

Paimon quickly considered how to get to Qunyu Pavilion, and after three minutes, she came to a conclusion.

"I've made a mistake! As the guide, I don't seem to know where the path to heaven is..."

"We should have asked that messenger named Gan Yu."

"Ugh... But since we're going to Qunyu Pavilion anyway, it makes perfect sense to just find its location on the map! There must be a way up nearby, right? Let's look!"

The two found a wind turbine and tried to fly over using their wind wings after activating it.

But how could such a naive idea possibly succeed?

Paimon was somewhat disappointed as he landed on the floating stone platform in the air, where a treasure chest was placed.

"We can only fly this far... It's all because the wind isn't strong enough, otherwise we could have gone straight to the top!"

Looking at the innocent Paimon, Ying couldn't help but smile and said, "Let's go back to Liyue Harbor... and ask the Thousand Rock Army for information."

"Huh? Why?"

Paimon asked the dumbest question, but Ying wasn't impatient. After all, who wouldn't like a talking mascot like that?

"The method to get up there shouldn't be a secret, otherwise..."

"Otherwise?... Oh, I see. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for Gan Yu to have us visit Qunyu Pavilion ourselves, right? Alright, let's do it your way then..."

The very next second after Paimon agreed, she saw a familiar building.

"Ah! Wait a minute, look below."

Ying turned her head and looked in the direction Paimon was pointing.

“We’ve reached the vicinity of the terminal. In that case… um… I have a new idea!”

Then Paimon came up with a truly outrageous idea.

"—How about we launch you up there using the Final Descent Machine?"

After hearing Paimon's idea, Ying was stunned.

Do you hate me?

"Uh...it's just that I didn't consider the safety details..."

Paimon, not being very bright, amused Yingmei.

To avoid upsetting Paimon too much, he thought for a moment and said, "But I remember that the Returning Machine has the ability to see far into the distance."

"Ah, right! In that case, we can indeed use... Let's use the Returning Machine to see if there's any other way up nearby!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Huiyuan was talking to Ningguang.

"Let me borrow the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Transformation to play with."

Huiyuan's words were astonishing: Was the Emperor's remains something to be played with?

"Miss Lingling, this..."

Huiyuan realized she had been too blunt, so she began to explain.

“My sister, Toller. She wants to perfectly sculpt the Emperor's figurine, so I need to take some photos of the Immortal Ancestor's demise in the Golden House.”

When Ningguang heard the word "photograph," she immediately thought of the "photograph machine" that Fontaine had recently been promoting on a large scale.

"I see..."

(Taking photos with a phonograph can record the appearance of the Immortal Ancestor's physical transformation in more detail.)

Thinking of this, Ningguang asked, "Miss Lingling, do you have a phonograph machine?"

Huiyuan pulled out the limited-edition photo camera he had bought from the traveling merchant in Fontainebleau and started showing it off.

"Hehe, this is a limited edition photo recorder, there are only five in the entire Teyvat. I bought it for only 500,000 Mora."

Ningguang saw the "Limited Edition Photo Booth" and recognized it as just an ordinary photo booth, worth only 100,000 Mora. However, she didn't tell Huiyuan, because seeing Lingling's delighted expression, she didn't want to shatter her illusions.

"How about it? As long as Sister Ningguang agrees, I will take pictures of the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body."

"can."

The very next second after Ningguang finished speaking those two words, Huiyuan pressed the shutter button on her camera and took a picture of thin air.

Ningguang was puzzled by Huiyuan's unusual behavior until the image of the Immortal Ancestor's mortal body appeared in the photo.

This is the ability of the Stand "Purple Hermit": it can capture what's in one's mind directly through photographs. No matter where the object is, its form can be captured directly in the photograph.

Furthermore, this Stand, as Huiyuan's skill, has been enhanced by the system. The higher the mental strength, the clearer and more detailed the photographed objects. If the mental strength reaches a certain level, the photographed image will move like an animation.

Looking at the photo, Ningguang was speechless with shock. Not only did it capture something that wasn't there, but it also seemed to come alive, like a recent film in Fontainebleau.

After taking two photos and throwing the other one into the Dust Jar, Huiyuan went to the deck to admire the beautiful scenery of Liyue Harbor.

(Let me see what Yingmei is doing.)

Huiyuan casually took a picture with the camera and saw Ying and Paimon's current location.

......

"Halt! Who goes there and dares to trespass on this important ground!"

Ying, who was stopped by Qianyan Army, retorted somewhat angrily.

"Trespassing? We were just passing by..."

Paimon chimed in, "Yes, yes, I really don't understand what you're talking about! We were invited here, we're honored guests! Why are you treating us like this... no... wait a minute... could it be that Ningguang... she did it on purpose! She pretended to invite us to the Jade Pavilion, but actually she's ambushed the Thousand Rock Army here, trying to capture us!"

Just as Paimon was wildly imagining the image of "evil Ningguang," Ying patted her head, speechless.

"I haven't explained the invitation to them yet..."

Paimon ignored Ying's words and continued to shout at himself.

"Ugh—I'm angry! Soldiers over there, you're entrapping us! Shameless!"

Upon hearing this, even the most composed Qianyan Army couldn't help but get angry and retort.

"What... a normal guard duty, and you call that shameless?"

Another more experienced Qianyan Army member, Ayang, couldn't help but get angry and wanted to stand up for his junior.

"Nonsense! In any case, let's take the suspicious individuals into custody first!"

Just as tensions were running high, Huiyuan fell from the sky and crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

Huiyuan blocked the attacks from Qianyan Army and Ying at the same time, shouting, "Stop!"

Qianyan Army was so stunned by Huiyuan's magnificent entrance that he was like an immortal that he dared not move.
