In this illustration, several people are chatting together, while Xiao stands in the distance with his back turned. Although this scene is somewhat inappropriate, readers couldn't help but laugh.

Well, Xiao clearly didn't want to talk to others, but because he had to wait for the traveler to finish talking, he just stood there and waited.

She gives off a very aloof vibe, but it doesn't quite feel aloof.

It's like when parents run into acquaintances while waiting for the elevator to go home and start chatting, Xiao is like a kid standing idly by, pretending to be aloof.

Perfect, the height is just right too.

[Xiao: "Are you done with work?"]

This statement sounds more like a child waiting for their parents to finish talking.

The readers were laughing heartily, but as they laughed, they realized something was wrong. Everyone else knew what had just happened, but Xiao didn't. Wasn't that just like us?

So it turns out we were from Xiao's perspective all along?

Got it. The first part was spoken loudly, so Xiao 'eavesdropped' on it. The second part was spoken softly, so Xiao didn't hear it, right?

Xiao had been waiting for the traveler for a long time, but unfortunately, they were interrupted before they could even exchange a few words, as Yelan returned.

[Ye Lan returns from scouting: "It's still there."]

Character Voice Lines - Ye Lan: About Lin Qiu

"This guy always calls me Sister Xiaolan, but the tone of his voice makes me feel weird."

Is there some secret behind this title? I really want to interrogate him.

Chapter 387 Five Yakshas

She had just scouted the area and found no threat. On her way back, she saw Yanfei and the others, and only returned to check since the traveler wasn't following.

The two Inazuma 'tourists' have left, and Yelan says:

"Heh... I hope those two guests from afar will keep quiet about this incident."

Hisaki Shinobu could definitely meet this requirement, but Ichito might not.

He's not a big mouth, it's just that he's not very bright. If Ah Ren hadn't been with him, he might have let it slip out without even realizing it.

Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we lock Arataki Ichidou up in Liyue Prison?

This way, Ito could experience the Liyue Prison he had been longing for, prevent him from leaking secrets, and even solve the problem of Ito occasionally not having food.

Well, actually there's no need for that. Even if Ichidou told everyone about it, most people wouldn't believe him anyway.

In the book, Ye Lan says that she will continue to investigate the matter of the Layered Rock Abyss.

"Furthermore, it seems someone came to my aid at the last minute... While this is a good thing, I couldn't sense who it was; they must be a highly skilled individual."

It is indeed very tall, but the person in it might not even be human.

In the end, Yelan also left, and now only the Traveler and Xiao are left.

[Xiao: "You knew I was waiting for you?"]

[Traveler: "Yes, it's quite obvious."]

Xiao: "...Really? I'm thinking of going somewhere. If you're free, you can come with me."

The traveler naturally did not refuse Xiao's request, and the two went together to the temple of Bronze Sparrow.

Everyone still remembers this Yaksha. The temple has been renovated and people often go there to worship.

Upon arriving here, Xiao began to tell a story, a story about the Yaksha.

[Xiao: "...Yaksha's entire life, to put it nicely, is filled with bravery and skill in battle; to put it bluntly, all he knows how to do is commit such acts of killing."]

"Me too. I've lived for a long time... If I can die saving someone, it's not such a bad thing."

With such thoughts in Xiao's mind, it's no wonder he would consider sacrificing himself.

He continued, "Hmm. Or perhaps... this thought of mine is also a kind of madness."

Faced with Xiao's 'extreme' ideas, Paimon quoted Ugly.

Paimon: "Ah Chou said he doesn't understand many grand principles; he just chooses to live with whoever makes him happier."

"There might not be so many rules in this world. So... he wants you to understand that even if the power of the Yaksha is harmful to people, it doesn't mean you can't be with everyone else."

Ah Chou only made four "moo" sounds at the time, and he didn't expect there to be so much information.

Some readers realized that although Lin Qiu did not specify the time, they had already sensed that the Xiao in the Lantern Festival story occurred after this event.

It seems Xiao really took Ah Chou's words to heart; he has begun to try to integrate into the mortal world, although there is an element of coercion involved...

[The traveler added: "There's always someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you."]

Paimon continued, "Yeah, for example, people with the Eye of God can withstand your power to some extent, right? And also... well, anyway, there are definitely a lot of people who care about you!"

And...and what else? Paimon couldn't think of anything else either, maybe just those immortals and the like.

Anyway, Paimon's point is that there will always be some tough guys who aren't afraid of you being a 'husband-killer'.

For example, those who have the "eye of God" all wear Nike.

Although the Traveler doesn't have the Eye of God, she's strong-willed and can withstand the test.

Lin Qiu is the same; he's living with the "Lonely Star and Calamity Star." Even if one's birth chart isn't strong, one's personality will become strong.

Xiao sighed, "...Ha, these are the kinds of things Fushe and his ilk like to say."

"Those guys used to say that when the world was at peace, they would go and live a normal life. It seems... I'm the only one who doesn't think that way."

The yaksha who wanted to integrate into the mortal world didn't survive, but he, who only wanted to end his life in 'killing', survived.

Fortunately, Xiao survived as a great hero, wouldn't you say? The great hero of Dihua Island!

Unlike demons, yakshas truly return to the earth's veins after they die, leaving little trace.

Liyue's ley lines are too stable, unlike Inazuma's, which sometimes leaks out a bit of filth.

The same applies to Fushe; it's impossible to determine whether Fushe in the Layered Rock Abyss is a remnant of his own soul or a 'memory' created by the underground palace.

If there is no opportunity, we may have to consider other methods to revive the Yakshas.

In short, Doraemon is thinking of other ways.

Lin Qiu: I want to give several Yakshas a complete life.

Putting that aside for now, let's get back to the story. Xiao introduced the names of the other Yakshas, ​​the names that Fushe kept repeating even after losing his memory.

"I am Jinpeng, and Mi Nu is General Xin Yuan."

"In addition, there are General Conch Shell Fanan and General Fire Rat Yingda. I've heard that people call the five of us 'Immortal Yakshas'."

Lin Qiu thoughtfully drew beautiful character illustrations for the several Yakshas, ​​which allowed readers to recognize them.

So that yaksha who loves making clothes is called 'Miannu'? Looking at his character art, he always has a smiling face, making him seem like a 'male mother'.

It's unimaginable what he would look like if he revealed his 'boundless killing intent'.

Fushe was a strong man with four arms; his appearance and physique truly gave people a great sense of security.

The two female demons, Fanan and Yingda, have won the hearts of many readers with their stunning looks.

Turning the page again, the kind-hearted Lin Qiu had drawn all their character portraits as broken pieces, meaning they were dead.

Readers: Qiu Cheng, XXX, XXX, XXXXX.

Although Lin Qiu's 'phone number' was given, readers have to admit that it is true.

[Xiao: "...Yanfei and Yelan are right, I have indeed always been preparing for the worst. This idea is deeply ingrained...but it is the best solution I can think of."]

It's clear that Xiao also realized his 'will to survive' wasn't strong enough.

However, it's not a bad thing to always plan for the worst; it just means that everyone has a different personality.

Most people, after making the worst-case scenario plan, still hope for a good outcome. Xiao is different; after making this plan, he is prepared to sacrifice himself for it at any time.

"At that moment, if it weren't for the Emperor's intervention, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

"In the end, I still had to trouble others."

Zhongli frowned, guessing that Xiao would think that way, which is why he didn't follow on his own initiative in the story, but only secretly followed because he was worried about him.

In the end, I had no choice but to take action, but Xiao still thought the same way. Sigh.

Seeing Zhongli's expression, Lin Qiu leaned over and patted Zhongli's shoulder to comfort him, "It's okay, you're not human."

“…” Zhongli remained silent, unable to refute.

It's been a long time since I've seen my young friend Lin. I feel it's time to test whether his skills have improved.

Chapter 388 Yaksha - Family

Paimon comforted him, "But it's normal, isn't it? You've known Zhongli... no, you've known the Rock King Emperor for so long, you've helped him before, so it's not a big deal for him to help you back, right?"

Zhongli nodded. Paimon is right. Young friend Lin, look at what others are like.

Although Paimon may occasionally have low emotional intelligence, she is different from Shadow. She is not without emotional intelligence, but rather a bit too straightforward.

Now that he's trying to comfort Xiao, the words he says are very pleasant to hear.

He even became a sycophant, temporarily changing the title from 'Zhongli' to 'Yanwang Dijun', only saying the nicer things.

Xiao nodded in agreement: "The moment I escaped the space, I vaguely sensed the lingering memories of Fushe. If there's anything I gained from this trip, it's this."

The traveler also sensed this memory, and readers are curious about what that memory is.

Kind-hearted Lin Qiu naturally fulfilled everyone's request and drew out this memory.

No, to be precise, it was Professor Abedo who drew it. As the 'first person to try something new,' he also had a confidentiality agreement to prevent him from revealing it.

Fortunately, while Abedo is emotionally detached, his drawing skills are superb, making him a perfect tool.

Funina's ahoge (cowlick) stood up as if she had a premonition of what was to come.

A glimmer of light appeared amidst the darkness—the glow of a lit candle, as tiny as a firefly in the pitch-black cave.

The scene shifts, and the camera focuses on Fu She, who is holding his forehead and asking a question:

"…Miannu, where did you go just now?"

The person in the next picture is an ordinary middle-aged man, taller than Xiao, so Fushe mistook him for Mi Nu. He said:

"Brother Yaksha, are you confused again? How many times have I told you, my name is Boyang."

"The warlock who fought alongside you in the Layered Rocks."

Now the readers recognize this person as the one who moved them to tears with just a note.

So it seems that this must be Boyang and Fushe's memories from when they were in the underground palace.

Because of the sense of relief after escaping the underground palace, the reader is still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

However, upon seeing these illustrations, their 'trust' in Qiu Cheng was immediately awakened, and they all became vigilant, looking at the illustrations even more intently.

It just so happens that Lin Qiu's books are all released at night, when people's emotions are more easily touched.

Fu She repeated in confusion, "Boyang...Boyang...?"

The next painting is black, without any dialogue, as if it has fallen into a silent contemplation.

[Fu She: "If you are Boyang, then who am I?"]

At this moment, Fushe's memory was confused, and he could no longer remember his own name.

He couldn't remember his own name, but he remembered the names of his brothers and sisters.

Bo Yang smiled wryly: "I'd like to call you by your first name, though."

"Otherwise, we agreed to stay here together, but we won't even know each other's names."

Boyang sighed, "What a pity."

Yes, what a pity. Judging from the information left by Boyang, it seems that even until his death, he still referred to Fushe as 'Yaksha'.
