Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura
Chapter 58: Personally Taking Charge of Construction?
As various building materials appeared before them, 100,000 workers cheered excitedly. Then, 3,000 Asura Knights began to direct the workers to pick up shovels and dig between the two trenches, as instructed by Lan Tian.
This is in preparation for laying the foundation for the city wall later.
And the blue sky...
After constructing a large amount of building materials, Lan Tian exhausted too much divine power in a short period of time. After giving instructions to the Asura Knights, he could no longer support himself. He staggered and hurriedly summoned the Rock Spear to support his body so that he could barely keep from falling. His face turned pale in an instant, and he began to pant heavily.
"Cough cough... It seems that producing this many materials in a short period of time is my limit."
Lan Tian murmured to himself, and behind him, the hurried voices of the crowd could be heard.
"Lord Shura!"
"Lord God of War!"
......
Upon hearing Lan Tian's weak cough, some of the workers and Shura Knights who were not far from him felt a sense of foreboding. When they turned around, they were all startled and instinctively cried out in alarm.
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of everyone nearby, and then they all saw Lantian, who looked pale and extremely weak.
The workers immediately dropped their tools and rushed towards Lantian. Several Asura Knights closest to Lantian stood ready, forming a protective formation to firmly guard Lantian in the center.
"Cough cough... Don't worry about me, I'm just temporarily overexerting myself. Let me rest for a while, don't let me delay the project. Luo Xue, help me to that rock over there to rest for a bit."
After Lan Tian finished speaking, the workers could only look with concern at the white-haired Asura Knight Commander, whom Lan Tian called Luo Xue, who walked over without saying a word, helped Lan Tian up, and sat down to rest on a nearby rock.
Seeing this, the workers had no choice but to turn their gaze away and follow all the Shura Knights except Luo Xue back to the engineering office to continue their work. However, Lan Tian could sense the deep concern in their frequent glances and expressions.
"Lord Shura, your physical condition..."
Luo Xue stood guard beside Lan Tian, her face hidden beneath the Nuo mask filled with worry, and couldn't help but speak up.
It was a clear, melodious, and cool female voice.
"Let me rest for a while, but I haven't heard that address in a long time, haven't I, Luo Xue?"
Lan Tian smiled weakly at Luo Xue.
"Um…"
The knight commander nodded silently, hesitated for a moment, then planted his spear in the ground, raised his hand and removed the Yaksha mask with several white lines engraved on it, revealing a cool and beautiful face beneath the mask.
With a classic oval face, fair skin, a cool and aloof demeanor, a pair of pale blue snowflake-shaped eyes, long silver hair that falls naturally down her back, and a pair of pale blue horns on her forehead that belong to the Yaksha clan, coupled with her perfect height of 1.73 meters, she is undoubtedly a beautiful young woman with a cool and aloof temperament.
At this moment, Luo Xue was looking at the blue sky with a worried expression, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
"You don't need to look at me like that, it makes me feel awkward."
Lan Tian joked, the paleness on his face fading somewhat.
"Hehe... Lord Shura, you are still as humorous as ever."
Luo Xue covered her mouth and chuckled. The worry on her face had dissipated considerably. If it weren't for her still-present aloof temperament, no one would have guessed that she was originally a cold-tempered, brave, and skilled female demon.
"Alright, you're one of the earliest Yakshas to follow me, so you should know me quite well."
Lan Tian waved his hand, stood up and stretched a bit; his body had almost recovered.
"Um... strictly speaking, I don't know you very well... Lord Shura."
Luo Xue scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
Only when facing the blue sky can you see Luo Xue looking this adorable.
"Lord Shura, may I...?"
"Alright, alright, I know what you're thinking. If you want to come with me, then come with me. Let's go, let's go protect the workers together."
"Uh-huh."
When Lan Tian saw through her thoughts, Luo Xue's face immediately became somewhat embarrassed. She quickly put on a Nuo mask in an attempt to conceal her expression, but under Lan Tian's divine sense, this was merely burying her head in the sand.
However, Lan Tian just smiled and didn't say anything, not pointing it out to her. Instead, he walked towards the city wall. Seeing this, Luo Xue had no choice but to calm down and pretend that nothing had happened, following behind Lan Tian.
After patrolling the construction site several times, Lan Tian looked up at the sky and realized it was already midday. He then gave the order:
"All Asura warriors, listen to my command! Prepare lunch! All workers, listen to my command! Assemble! Lunch will be served in twenty minutes!"
"Asura is with you!"
"oh--!"
The voice of the blue sky spread to everyone's ears through divine power.
As soon as Lan Tian finished speaking, all the workers cheered and put down their tools, then sat down to rest in the several huge sunshades that Lan Tian had set up nearby.
Meanwhile, the three thousand Asura Knights, led by Luo Xue, began to prepare lunch in an orderly manner.
After assigning tasks to the numerous Asura Knights, Luo Xue quickly noticed that Lan Tian was resting his chin on his hand, looking thoughtfully at someone standing beside the construction pit, and couldn't help but walk over out of curiosity.
"Lord Shura?"
"Hmm? It's nothing. I was just thinking about how long it would take to finish laying the foundation for the city wall, given our pace this morning..."
"So...are there any results?"
Luo Xue asked with a somewhat naive curiosity.
"Well, according to my estimation, it will take at least eight months to lay the foundation, and that's a minimum estimate after excluding many external interferences."
Lan Tian's tone became more serious, and he continued:
"Moreover, as time goes on, the conflicts between the surrounding demons will only intensify, and the number of exiled refugees will only increase. If this continues, the number of refugees coming to Guixiuli will only increase, and the population burden on Guixiuli will only become heavier and heavier, so..."
"So, Lord Shura, that's why you plan to expand Guixiuli..."
Luo Xue added.
Lan Tian nodded in agreement, and then said:
"Is lunch ready?"
"That's about it, we can start distributing them now."
"Very good, you can go back and eat now. I plan to cook for you myself from now on."
"Yes! Shura is with you... Wait, what? Lord Shura, you... Ah!"
Luo Xue responded subconsciously, then came to her senses and was immediately dumbfounded. But before she could finish speaking, Lan Tian raised his hand and lightly tapped Luo Xue's Nuo mask, interrupting her.
"Enough with the chit-chat. I didn't say I couldn't personally help out, or... are you worried about me—?"
"Eh...Eh—? I...I...this...this..."
Lan Tian deliberately drew out the last word, while Luo Xue blushed with embarrassment at Lan Tian's last joke and began to ramble incoherently, almost dropping the spear in her hand.
Although Luo Xue was wearing a Nuo mask at the moment, Lan Tian could still guess her cute expression under the mask from the hot air constantly rising from her head and her pair of ears that had become very pink.
[This girl, don't let her cool appearance fool you, she's just like Fukaros in personality, both so easily amused.]
Thinking this, Lan Tian tapped Luo Xue's Nuo mask again and chuckled:
"Alright, I'm just teasing you. Go eat, don't worry about me. Don't you know how capable I am?"
"I...I know..."
After saying that, Luo Xue fled in panic towards the place where everyone was gathered to eat.
