The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 246 The Destined One
"The destined person, Hua Sanli, how much do you know about this person?" Ying frowned slightly.

"I know very little, except that she is the [Son of Man] and has incredible powers of purification."

Hanasari shook her head and said, "The reason I came to the White Fox Field is because I sensed that she had come to Inazuma, and I vaguely felt that we would meet in the White Fox Field... Everything was supposed to be like this."

But for some reason, something went wrong. When she came here, not only did she not see her destined person, she was also frightened by Chen Tianfeng.

It was as if fate was controlled by some external force and changed unconsciously.

Hua Sanli thought so and glanced at Chen Tianfeng quietly, only to find that he was looking at her with a serious expression: "What, what happened?"

"You just said that everything should be like this?"

Chen Tianfeng looked solemn, his hand unconsciously resting on the hilt of the knife: "Why do I feel this way?"

Hua Sanli looked at him, then at his hand that was holding the knife, carefully moved her feet, hid behind the shadow, and then said, "I don't know either, it's as if a voice vaguely told me."

The voice, the destined person, the ley lines... could it be [fate]? Are the ley lines of Teyvat related to the fate of the world?

The earth veins are the roots of the World Tree, and the World Tree carries all the information of the world. Perhaps it is really related to the fate of the world.

The earth veins are becoming more and more amazing, and there is also the World Tree... I might as well go to Xumi for a visit if I have the chance.

Chen Tianfeng seemed to be thinking about something, and temporarily suppressed this question in his heart. He raised his eyes and saw Ying's concerned eyes, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just thought of something else."

"As long as you're okay."

Ying nodded slightly.

Chen Tianfeng looked at Hua Sanli and said, "I have a question. The purpose of the Divine Sakura Purification is to purify the filth accumulated by the Divine Sakura tree, right?"

Hua Sanli nodded: "Yes."

"So, to remove the filth from the earth veins, must we use purification methods?"

"That's not the case in theory. As long as it's purified, it's fine. But to purify filth, there's nothing else to it except purification..."

Hua Sanli was stunned and finally remembered something.

“We have other ways.”

Chen Tianfeng grinned, "Isn't eating the accumulated filth of the earth veins a perfect way to purify it?"

Since the purpose of the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura is to purify filth, what is the difference between purification and devouring? It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat!
From a certain perspective, Chen Tianfeng could also be the [destined person], so Ying wouldn't need to run around anymore.

“It seems to work.”

Ying pondered for a moment, nodded, and felt that what Chen Tianfeng said made sense.

Instead of looking for some destined person who is somewhere unknown, it is better to let Chen Tianfeng take action... He swallowed the filth of the earth veins cleanly and neatly.

"Hana Sanri, what do you think?"

"..."

Hua Sanli looked at Chen Tianfeng with a very complicated tone: melancholy, loss, a hint of resentment and more of a sense of resignation of "I knew it would be like this".

She sighed deeply and said, "You really want to eat me after all."

What a liar! He clearly said that he would not eat her if he was full, and he also promised to tell her before he got hungry so that she could leave early.

Chen Tianfeng: “…”

Chen Tianfeng found that he was unable to refute.

His method of dealing with the filth in the earth veins is to devour it all, and Hanasari is also filth in the earth veins. If he wants to completely complete the Divine Sakura Purification in his way, then Hanasari will not be able to escape from the snake's mouth.

"Then...how about we go find our destined person?"

Chen Tianfeng was a little embarrassed. "No need, it may be too late."

Hanasari shook her head and said, "You can eat me if you want. I don't mind. But could you please move faster? I'm ashamed to say that although I'm not a human, I'm still a little afraid of pain."

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Chen Tianfeng thought about it and said in astonishment: "Hua Sanli, you don't think I am like this, eating you up bite by bite, right?"

He rolled up his sleeves, raised his arm to his mouth, and pretended to take a bite, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Could it be... not?" Hua Sanli hesitated.

"Of course not!"

Chen Tianfeng put down his arms, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Is he some kind of cannibal? Or some pervert who eats people alive and chews them?
Why do I miss him so much?
"But you are really amazing, Hanasari. Even though you think my devouring is so terrible, you still agreed to let me perform the Divine Sakura Purification."

Chen Tianfeng sighed, stroking his chin, and said, "Oh, I have another question. Does the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura require the purification of all impurities?"

He looked at her and gestured with his fingers: "Can't there be a little left?"

For example, there is only one flower left.

"…I understand your thoughts and thank you very much."

Hua Sanli seemed to smile, she shook her head and said, "But no."

"Why? Even if it's not completely exorcised, but there's only a little left, it shouldn't have much of an impact on the sacred cherry tree, right?"

"Indeed, there is only a little bit of filth left, which does not have much impact on Shenying."

"Then why..."

"Because I am the greatest filth."

Hanasari said calmly, "I inherited the memories of Master Kitsaurusai, and I also carry the dark disaster that devoured Master Kitsaurusai. As long as I exist, even if you devour all the remaining filth, it will not relieve the burden of the sacred cherry tree."

Chen Tianfeng was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ying, only to see her nod slightly, agreeing with Hua Sanli's statement.

"This shouldn't be..." Chen Tianfeng frowned: "There's obviously not much filth on you, how can it be the biggest filth?"

"Because the disaster you bear is much more terrible than mine."

Hanasari gave the answer, but her tone was a little subtle: "So in your eyes, my filthiness is naturally nothing. But in fact... I am really the biggest filth in the sacred cherry tree."

Chen Tianfeng sighed: "So that's how it is... I thought you were seeking death on purpose."

"If it's not a special situation, no one would voluntarily seek death, and I am the same. Five hundred years ago, Master Kitsusai, five hundred years later, Hanasari, we can live, but for Inazuma, we are willing to die."

Hanasari looked at him and said seriously, "So, for Inazuma, please eat me."

"I understand."

Chen Tianfeng exhaled and nodded: "Where are we going now?"

If I remember correctly, in the plot, Ying followed Hanasakura to many places before gradually completing the purification of the sacred cherry blossoms.

"At the bottom of Yingxiang Mountain, the largest root system of the sacred cherry tree is located."

"Hmm? You don't care about the other roots?"

"As the greatest filth, I do have some special abilities. For example, I can gather all the filth in one place. But this will put the greatest burden on the sacred cherry tree. If I am not careful, the consequences will be extremely bad."

Hanasari chuckled and said, "So please eat faster and don't give the filth any chance to take advantage."
