Transmigrating to the world of Genshin Impact and becoming a big shot.

This thing is covered in armor; what kind of monster is it?

Zhao Chuan gripped his knife, nervously watching the blue humanoid monster. He was uneasy; he had just taken a solid punch and could sense that its strength was beyond his capabilities.

At this moment, Zhao Chuan used his aerial agility to quickly approach, and swiftly thrust out his knife.

"Stop struggling, we've figured out every move you're making."

The monster easily parried the attack and taunted.

As the monster slashed with its blade, Zhao Chuan's knife was deflected.

Zhao Chuan took a few steps back before regaining his footing.

"One move at a time, humph."

A glint flashed in Zhao Chuan's eyes as he looked at the monster not far away.

"It's not that I didn't bring my gun, why do this? However, even without a weapon, killing you is not a problem. Let me test the power of the Demon God."

As he spoke, water element surrounded his entire body, and it was obvious that Zhao Chuan was circulating elemental power, not just one kind, but fire element enveloped his arms.

They charged straight at the monster, and instantly, the situation on the battlefield reversed.

After holding out for half an hour, the monster had no choice but to summon elemental power to envelop its entire body, forming a turquoise shield.

"Cough cough, I never expected that a newly born demon god's body could use elemental power to such a terrifying degree, and not just one kind. I really underestimated you."

The monster spoke in human language, staring in utter shock. It felt as if its power was being suppressed. Why was it, which was clearly stronger, being suppressed by such a weak fire? This was something it couldn't understand at all.

"So this is what elemental power feels like. Very good. Let me try it on you. What are the effects of your skills?"

After saying that, Zhao Chuan began to gather his strength, and the fiery red power beneath his feet dyed the earth with color.

"Fiery Meteor Shower~"

More than a dozen red orbs of light condensed behind Zhao Chuan and shot towards the monster at the same time, streaking through the air like meteors.

A flash of golden light appeared, dust billowed up, and the powerful airflow forced both sides to retreat dozens of meters.

"I haven't had a chance to say goodbye yet, so I won't treat it as a farewell. But you are going to leave eventually, so it's better to leave sooner rather than later."

Ying's brother wielded a golden, radiant sword, but a black power swirled within it.

He brandished his sword, but a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Cough cough~ Pfft."

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Zhao Chuan knelt on one knee, clutching his chest with his arm. Looking at the blood on the ground, he recalled how Ying's brother had blocked the attack with his sword. In the midst of the billowing smoke, a dark sword aura attacked Zhao Chuan with incredible speed. Zhao Chuan had no time to react or dodge and took the hit head-on.

"We will meet again eventually, and you are just a passerby she met on her journey."

Ying's brother walked over to Zhao Chuan, squatted down, and said.

“Cough—cough…You’re right, I will leave. As the brother of the twins, what can you do for your sister? Just stand by and watch, you can’t do anything. It’s better to let me, the one who is leaving, accompany her on this journey.”

Zhao Chuan dispersed his elemental power and said, panting heavily.

"You're here to deal with the Hilichurls, right? But judging from your current state, you probably can't win. What ability do you have left to protect her?"

Ying's brother stood up disdainfully and said.

"Ahem... I'll prove my strength to you during my journey through the seven kingdoms."

Zhao Chuan stood up, wiped the bloodstains from the air, and said.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. Let's go."

Oh, right.

.........

"Your Highness, why do you use reverse psychology to get him to protect your sister?"

The monster behind him said.

"What we're about to do makes it impossible for me to extricate myself from secretly protecting her. Since someone has appeared who is willing to protect her, let him protect her completely."

Ying's brother stood on a high cliff, quietly observing Zhao Chuan as he fought.

At this very moment, on the other side, at Mount Hulao.

"Cough cough... This guy really went all out... cough cough cough, no, it feels like something inside my body is disturbing my spiritual sea."

[The spiritual sea is where a cultivator stores their spiritual energy. If the spiritual sea is unstable, it will affect the release and potential harm of spiritual power.]

Just as Zhao Chuan was about to sit down, he sensed a faint aura.

Following his senses, Zhao Chuan saw a little girl whose clothes were so tattered they were unwearable. Her skin was pale, and she was covered in bruises and wounds. As his gaze followed, he saw that the little girl was clutching a half-eaten herb in her hand. In her other hand, a divine eye, shimmering with a pale blue light, suddenly appeared.

"This is the Eye of the Ice God. This faint elemental power is protecting the little girl who seems to be dying. Who is so heartless as to leave you here all alone?"

Zhao Chuan tenderly picked up the little girl and held her in his arms, while simultaneously channeling his fire elemental power and spiritual energy.

"Who dares disturb my meditation? Leave at once!"

A large crane flew to the stone wall in front of Zhao Chuan and scolded him.

"Holy crap, a big bird..."

Zhao Chuan looked at the enormous thing and couldn't help but sigh again.

"How dare you! What kind of big bird is this? I have a name. I am the True Lord of Flowing Clouds and Borrowing Wind."

Liu Yun said proudly.

"I understand, I don't have time to argue with you right now."

Zhao Chuan gave a perfunctory reply and continued treating the little girl.

"Who is this? I've never seen him before."

Liu Yun also curiously came over to take a look.

“You picked up this guy from the foot of the mountain and you’re telling me you don’t know him? Judging from his appearance, he must have been wandering outside for a long time.”

Upon seeing the bird, Zhao Chuan flapped its wings and began to complain wildly, but he only said a few words before continuing to treat the child, ignoring the very talkative True Lord.

As the little girl opened her eyes, her pale blue eyes revealed fear and terror. With her last bit of strength, she broke free from Zhao Chuan's embrace and hid behind a tree, muttering to herself.

"No, please don't hit me! Lili knows she was wrong. Lili was just hungry. Please don't hit Lili!"

Although the voice was very soft, both of them could hear it clearly.

“This child reminds me of Shen He. His constitution is too special. This child has experienced what he went through, but it is not very serious. If I take him back, he should be able to come back to life.”

Liu Yun gently flapped his wings and explained.

"Please, look how scared the child is. With your appearance, you could scare her to death in a minute. And look at your two apprentices. One is silent, and the other is a workaholic. I don't trust you with them."

Zhao Chuan stood up, crossed his arms, and said.

"Little sister, come here to your brother. I have something delicious to eat here, come quickly."

Zhao Chuan ignored Liu Yun, took out a few plump peaches from his system space, put them in his hand, and said to the little girl behind the tree.

"It's delicious..."

Despite the pain in her stomach, the little girl slowly moved away from the tree, raising her hands to reach for it, but suddenly a thought made her instantly hide behind the tree again.

"This……"

"What happened?"

Zhao Chuan scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Given the Eye of God, this little girl is destined for great things. I'll take her back and mentor her properly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Chuan interrupted him.

"You rascal, she was about to die and you didn't come. I saved her, and then you came. Besides, the most important thing for her right now is that she's hungry, not to talk about these things."

After a period of brainwashing, he finally managed to coax the little girl into Zhao Chuan's arms.

"Little sister, what's your name?"

Zhao Chuan stroked the little girl's hair as he spoke.

"Brother, my name is Jiang Li...!"

Jiang Li answered Zhao Chuan's questions while eating.

"Jiang Li, Jiang Li, is about to leave. Friends and family will gather in a strange place. This is... a strange illness."

Liu Yun observed carefully.

"What's wrong? Did you see something?"

Zhao Chuan stared blankly at Liu Yun.

"It is said that otherworldly diseases are rarely seen, and there is a risk to life."

Liu Yun also frowned.

"It's a pity about this child. The illness may become apparent as he gets older."

"What, the illness..."

Zhao Chuan exclaimed in shock.

"Zhao Chuan, give this child to me. I'll see if I can find a solution."

Liu Yun looked down at Jiang Li and said.

"Little Jiang Li, would you like to go with her and become her apprentice?"

Zhao Chuan lowered his head and stroked Jiang Li's hair, speaking softly.

"I don't want it, this big bird is so ugly."

After eating some food and regaining her complexion, Jiang Li leaned tightly against Zhao Chuan and immediately complained.

"Hahaha, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, Liu Yun, childhood innocence, childhood innocence."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph, fine, just consider it me meddling in other people's business."

Liu Yun flapped its wings and said arrogantly.

"Has something interesting happened here?"

A steady voice rang out, and everyone turned to look.

"Emperor."

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two spoke in unison.

"Now, I have taken human form and wander the world as a mortal, and I no longer need to call upon the names of gods."

"This is…"

Zhong Li also saw Jiang Li hiding behind Zhao Chuan's legs.

Zhao Chuan recounted what had just happened.

“I see. Then I suggest that if you insist on taking on a disciple, Zhao Chuan, you yourself are the most suitable.”

Zhongli pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"I... I'm not very good at teaching myself."

Zhao Chuan scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"That's true, after all, you've only been born a few days ago, so Grandma Ping should be the best choice."

Zhongli pondered.

"Little General Li, what do you think?"

Zhao Chuan asked her again.

"Lili listens to her brother, but is her brother going to leave her too?"

Zhao Chuan looked at Jiang Li, who was hugging him, and felt a pang of sadness. He couldn't very well take her back to the Winter Kingdom or keep her by his side; both options were dangerous. He didn't want to put her in danger, after all, she had already endured so much.

"No, brother, you'll always be my brother. You have family now, and they won't leave you. You're not feeling well right now, so you can't travel the world with your brother. But when you're better, your brother will take you on a trip, okay?"

A few cold tears squeezed out of Zhao Chuan's eyes as he spoke softly and gently.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Li held Zhao Chuan tightly, and that's how they returned to Liyue Harbor.

Yujingtai…

“Ah Ping…”

As Zhongli shouted this, a kind old lady turned around and said.

"Your Majesty... Mr. Zhongli, what brings you here? Did you come to have tea with this old lady?"

Grandma Ping joked.

"Ah Ping, it's alright. We're all family here, no need for formalities."
