Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

After some thought, the Eightfold Divine Son came up with a plan.

She pursed her red lips, followed Lin Jinnian's example, and leaned into the other person's ear.

He said softly, as if coquettishly.

"My gods and I...are all yours~"

Chapter 224 Happy Birthday

On an unknown day, the sun rose three poles high.

Lin Jinnian was sleeping soundly on the roof of Narukami Taisha Shrine, but suddenly he felt as if something was poking his face.

At first he thought it was some small animal and didn't pay much attention.

With a flick of his hand, he drove the thing away, then turned over and continued to sleep.

But the thing seemed to be still stubborn and kept harassing him.

It's not over, is it?

Finally, Lin Jinnian couldn't bear it anymore and woke up impatiently.

He swore that he would not let go easily even if it was the little Tuanque raised by Shadow.

However, when he reached out to grab it, he felt a strange touch... It seemed like... a finger?

Lin Jinnian instantly realized that something was wrong. When he turned around, he was even more startled by the person coming.

"Hu... Lord Huzhai Palace?!"

A pair of pure white and fluffy ears appeared in front of him, followed by Hu Zhai Palace's iconic fluffy tail.

It was Hu Zhai Palace's hand that he was holding.

And she was looking at Lin Jinnian with a teasing smile on her face, making her already pretty face even more attractive.

"Oh my, little one, do you really like me that much?"

"Keep grabbing me and not letting go~ I'm going to be shy."

These two sentences scared Lin Jinnian and immediately let go of his hand.

"Lord Huzhai Palace, please stop having fun with me..."

Unexpectedly, Hu Zhaigong curled his lips and knocked Lin Jinnian on the head with his backhand.

"How many times have I told you? Call me Mr. Zhai Palace."

"Come on, shout again."

"Ah? That's not necessary..."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Hu Zhai Palace frowned and moved his wrist again.

Lin Jinnian instantly became very aware of current affairs.

"S-Sama Saigiya."

"Hmph, that's right."

As if satisfied, Huzhai Palace stood up.

She was not afraid of heights and walked leisurely on the roof of Narukami Taisha Shrine.

"I just said that I can't find you little guy anywhere. It turns out you are hiding here and sleeping."

After walking around in a circle, she returned to Lin Jinnian.

"Little guy, how many times have I told you not to sleep on the roof? It's very dangerous."

"If you fall, I will feel bad."

"Wouldn't it be great if Saimiya-sama just catches me?"

"...You, it's not like I'm always by your side. You were just lucky last time."

Huzhai Palace still remembered the last time he was walking, when he suddenly felt the sky darken, and then he caught Lin Jinnian who fell from the sky.

She was shocked at the time, and she taught Lin Jinnian a lesson when she returned.

I just didn't expect that this little guy would still be stubborn and like to sleep here. It's not like I didn't prepare a room for him, so why bother?

"By the way, why did Lord Saigiya come to see me?"

Lin Jinnian's words interrupted Hu Zhaigong's thoughts, and she tapped Lin Jinnian's head with her backhand.

"You have the nerve to say that you have forgotten what day it is?"

"What day?"

Seeing that Lin Jinnian still looked confused, Huzhai Palace became furious.

"Stupid, today is your birthday!"

She even wondered if she had damaged Lin Jinnian's head by knocking him too many times on weekdays?

Why do you feel that the little guy has become silly recently... and not very smart?

It seems that he needs to be more restrained in the future. If he is stupid, where can he find such an interesting little guy?

Only then did Lin Jinnian remember that today was his birthday.

But I was too busy during this period and accidentally forgot.

But before he could speak, Hu Zhai Palace grabbed his wrist.

"Oh, don't think so much. Come with me first. Everyone is waiting for you."

With that said, Huzhai Palace picked up Lin Jinnian and ran out of Daozhu City, not giving him any chance to escape.

In this way, Lin Jinnian was dragged all the way by Huzhai Palace and brought to an open place with beautiful scenery.

There were already several people waiting there.

Gogo Chiyo, Sasa Yuri, Little Fox, Shinwa Kage.

"Look, our birthday boy is here."

Yu Yuqianyo was the first one to notice Lin Jinnian's arrival and greeted him happily.

"Miss Chiyo..."

Fortunately, Hu Zhai Palace pulled her in time, otherwise Yu Yu Qianyo would have grabbed Lin Jinnian and drank two bowls of wine.

There was also Yuri Sasa. When he saw Lin Jinnian coming, he silently swept away the fallen cherry blossoms that had been reserved for Lin Jinnian.

Lin Jinnian said hello to everyone one by one, but when they arrived at the shadow...she didn't react at all, as if she hadn't heard them.

He didn't even look at her, and turned his head very proudly.

Seeing this, Shinya could only look at his sister helplessly, and then quietly touched her with his elbow.

"Okay, Ying, you're here now, so don't be so petty."

"No matter what, today is Lin Jinnian's birthday. It is a very important day in life. It can't be like this."

"……morning."

The persuasion really worked. Ying turned his head to look at him and responded with a calm response.

Lin Jinnian understood that Ying was probably still sulking because he accidentally hurt her a few days ago.

But even so, Lin Jinnian was very happy that Ying Ken came here.

The little fox also left Zhen's arms, ran into his arms, and rubbed his hand affectionately.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Hu Zhaigong raised his wine glass and shouted loudly.

"Then... let's start celebrating our little guy's birthday!"

"Oh!"

"Happy birthday."

"Do you want to be happy at this age?"

"Happy birthday..."

"Ow!"

……

After three rounds of drinking, his brain should be getting more and more confused, and his memory should be getting more and more blurry... But Lin Jinnian became more and more sober.

He also understood what the situation was now.

The more this happens, the more he cherishes every minute and every second now.

"It turns out... everyone is here..."

Looking at the many old friends playing and quarreling in front of him, his eyes felt a little sore for no reason.

When was the last time I saw this scene... I can't remember.

When will it be the next time I see them... I don't know.

But suddenly Lin Jinnian felt like someone knocked him on the head.

"What are you talking about? Are you sleepy?"

Turning around, Lin Jinnian found that Huzhai Palace had stood beside him at some point.

Behind her, there were four other people and one fox.

"We've been here all along?"

"Little guy, didn't we just make an appointment yesterday to go to the festival to watch the fireworks together on another day?"

"Why is my memory so bad?"

"Could it be that...you have forgotten what you promised me? If that's the case, then I will punish you."

"..."

Lin Jinnian opened his mouth, but no words came out.

By the time he reorganized his words, his voice was choked with sobs.

"I haven't forgotten, Lord Saimiya..."

He wanted to work hard to see clearly the old people in front of him who had long been engraved in his heart and remember their faces.

However, his vision became increasingly blurry, and tears could no longer be held back, falling from the corners of his eyes like bursting dams.

"It's just...I'm happy."

"Really, I'm... very happy now."

Lin Jinnian looked at the familiar eyes and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Stay safe..."

"I shouldn't have let you down now."

"……Is it right?"

Unfortunately, no one responded to him anymore, and no one would knock him on the head again.

They stayed 500 years ago forever.

Chapter 225 Ayaka’s special comfort

……

In a daze, Lin Jinnian seemed to hear someone calling him.

"Little guy...little guy..."

He opened his eyes and seemed to see a pair of fox ears and a big fluffy tail.
