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

After confirming the dishes to be served, Xiangling turned around to prepare the dishes. During the process, she also asked the rice cooker on the side.

"Guo Ba, do you know the sister just now? She seems very familiar."

Then Guoba babbled a lot, but it was a pity that she couldn't understand.

Suddenly, Guoba noticed a sharp gaze.

It slowly turned around, but only saw Pingyun's very "kind" smile.

She made a shushing gesture and stared at it meaningfully.

Guoba understood immediately, closed his mouth, and shook his head to express that he didn't know.

Only then did Xiangling focus on cooking.

At this time, Pingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It would be bad if his good disciple knew this.

Lin Jinnian smiled.

"It turns out that Sister Ping is still afraid of something."

"Well... let's not talk about that for now."

Pingyun quickly changed the subject.

"Brother Anian, why did you disappear suddenly? We were looking for you at sea for a long time."

"I went to Daozi many times and still couldn't find you."

Looking at Ping Yun's concerned eyes, Lin Jinnian could only speak to her slowly.

……

"Hey, is that so!"

Listening to Lin Jinnian's words, Ping Yun's expression alternated between exclamation and worry, and finally turned into relief.

"Just come back, just come back."

Then she asked again.

"So how have you been these past few years? Do you have a girl you like?"

"..."

After all these years, she is still holding on to this...

"You don't know, that girl Gan Yu is... ahem, by the way, I promised her not to tell."

Ping Yun said a lot of things at once, and Lin Jinnian could only respond.

"Why do you feel like you talk less?"

"Because of... wear and tear."

"That's it."

After a while, all the dishes were served. Pingyun picked up the chopsticks and gave him a lot of dishes, which were piled as high as a hill.

"Try this... and this... this fish is not bad..."

After serving Lin Jinnian, she didn't eat herself. Instead, she put down her chopsticks and propped her head on her hands to look at him.

"Hurry up and eat."

Lin Jinnian had no choice but to eat away at the food bit by bit.

During this period, Pingyun also reached out and touched his head, with a happy smile on his face

"Hehehe, my brother Anian is finally back..."

Chapter 22: The True Lord Can’t Drink Wine

Next, Ping Yun was quietly watching Lin Jinnian eat, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

After eating everything, Lin Jinnian put down his bowls and chopsticks.

"Sister Ping, stop staring at me like that."

"Hey, I haven't seen you for so long, why don't I see you more?"

"And your appetite has become so big that you can actually finish it all."

Suddenly Pingyun seemed to remember something, with worry in her eyes.

"Brother Anian, are you still using the method of consuming your lifespan to gain strength?"

Lin Jinnian was slightly startled.

In fact, 500 years ago, he received a 1000-year lifespan from the system and used a technique that exchanged lifespan for strength.

Otherwise, how could he, an ordinary person, become the Demon God of Swords.

When he came to Liyue, he wanted to find a way to deal with the turmoil in Kanria in advance, and wanted to sign a contract with the rock Morax to obtain 500 years of life.

Speaking of Zhongli... I wonder if that guy is retired now.

Then he explained.

"Now that I have become stronger, I no longer need to use that method."

"You're not lying to me, are you? Look me in the eyes and say it again!"

Lin Jinnian had no choice but to look at her and say it again.

Pingyun let him go, and then she called Xiangling to pay.

The two walked out of Wanmin Hall. It was getting late outside, and the rays of the setting sun reflected on the streets with people coming and going, adding a bit of human fireworks.

Pingyun sighed.

"It's really nostalgic. I remember when you came to Liyue and had no money to eat, I was the one who invited you!"

She turned around and looked at Lin Jinnian, who was still much taller than her.

"It's been so long in the blink of an eye..."

Was he that tall before?You know, she is not short now!

And he is not as enthusiastic as before, nor does he smile as much as before.But he is still him, and that's enough.

Then, Pingyun stretched out her hands and said with a smile.

"Come on, let my sister give me a hug."

Lin Jinnian smiled helplessly, but still came forward and let her hold him.

Pingyun hugged her very hard, as if she was afraid that he would slip away, and she wanted to embed him in her body.

She buried her face in Lin Jinnian's shoulder and talked intermittently.

"Do you know that my sister is really worried about you..."

"We agreed to go back only for a while, and we agreed to spend the next Lantern Festival together, but you disappeared without a trace..."

"I can't find you anywhere..."

"I thought you didn't want your sister anymore..."

"I...I thought you had..."

As she spoke, her voice was slightly choked, and her body could not stop shaking.

Lin Jinnian also recalled more things about her.

When Morax wanted to test her strength and see if she was qualified to conclude a contract with him, she immediately protected her behind her.

And when he finished fighting Morax and his life span was almost exhausted and he vomited blood, she was the first to step forward to help him.

She was obviously from Liyue, but she did so many illegal things and once put herself in danger.

In that turbulent era, as an immortal from Liyue, she did this for an outsider. You can imagine the criticism she would suffer behind her back.

What a...uneasy sister.

However, all this moved Lin Jinnian very much. He would never forget anyone who was kind to him.

He hugged back.

"It's okay, I'm back now."

"Ok!"

Pingyun raised her head, her eyes were reddish and moist.

Then he sniffed.

"Sister Ping...could you..."

Lin Jinnian looked at his shoulder, and sure enough there was something sticky on it.

Pingyun smiled stupidly.

"Sorry, I was so excited just now..."

This made Lin Jinnian dumbfounded.

Don't be fooled by Pingyun's identity as Grandma Ping.

She was actually a very lively person, and she had teased him a lot in the past, making him take the blame for getting into trouble.

Lin Jinqiang pushed her away gently, stretched out his hands, and pinched her face.

"How many times have I said this before."

"Uuuuuuu..."

"The lotus root has arrived... hold back the lotus root..."

When Pingyun almost begged for mercy, Lin Jinnian let go.

She whispered while rubbing her face.

"Brother Anian, you have changed...you actually bullied your sister...wuwuwu..."

Hearing this, Lin Jinnian gave her a headache.

"It's been so long since I last saw you, but you're still so naughty."

"hey-hey……"

Ping Yun calmed down and pulled Lin Jinnian towards the street, saying that she would introduce him to delicious and fun things he had never seen before.

……

Just now, Yae Shenzi, who was far away in Inazuma, suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the guardian.

What? !The smell of other women? ! !Still so close? ! ! !

The bamboo stick she asked for broke in her hand, and "big evil" was clearly written on it.

So she instantly became furious.

"Lin Jinnian!!!"

……

On the other side, Ping Yun took Lin Jinnian shopping until late.

She suddenly remembered.

"By the way, you don't have a place to live yet, right?"

"Ah."

"Then come and stay at my house! Just like before, there are many rooms, just tidy them up!"

Lin Jinnian wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist her.

He finally understood why the emperor gave her the dust-cleansing bell in the first place.

Because she is very...cute when she acts coquettishly?

It's hard for anyone to resist her hard work.

Then the two of them came to the vicinity of Yujing Terrace. A large manor in front of them was Pingyun's home.
