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

"Hi, need help?"

After hearing the sound, she did not come out immediately, but shrank back inside again, as if she was very scared.

Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, Lin Jinnian took out the steamed buns he had brought with him.

"You're hungry, do you want some steamed buns?"

When she heard that there was food, she opened her eyes, glanced at the steamed buns, and then looked at Lin Jinnian warily. After confirming that there was no danger, she quickly grabbed it and wolfed it down in the blanket.

Lin Jinnian was stunned and did not take back his hand hanging in the air.

Because he just saw a pair of plum blossom pupils.

How could it be... an illusion?

After a while, there was no movement in the blanket.

So Lin Jinnian took out another steamed bun.

"Are you still eating?"

Those eyes were exposed again, and then he slowly took the steamed bun.

This time, Lin Jinnian was 100% sure that it was indeed a pair of plum blossom pupils.

Even though he didn't believe it, he still called out that name.

"walnut?"

The man trembled violently, and it took him a while to reveal his head.

"Who are you...why do you know my name?"

When Lin Jinnian saw that face, his pupils shrank.

Even though her face was covered with stains and dust, he could still tell at a glance that she was Hutao.

But how is this possible?This is 500 years ago. How could Hutao appear here?

"I...I'm here to help the victims."

Hu Tao did not continue to ask, so the two fell into silence.

Lin Jinnian, who didn't know what to say, randomly found a topic.

"Why are you sleeping here and not going home..."

But he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Hu Tao's eyes turned lonely.

"Mom and dad...died of illness..."

"Wutao has no home."

Those plum blossom pupils became dim and pitiful.

Lin Jinnian hesitated, stretched out his hand and touched her head.

Even though her hair was dirty, he didn't care.

Hutao trembled at the moment of contact, but did not resist too much.

Maybe she was looking forward to warmth too much, even for a moment.

Tears flow down unconsciously.

The only sound in the quiet alley was her faint sobs.

"Do you want to come with me? I will take care of you."

Hu Tao didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

However, there was a growling sound in her stomach.

She said with a slight blush.

"Stomach, hungry..."

Lin Jinnian said with a smile.

"I'll take you to eat something delicious."

So, Lin Jinnian took the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Hu Tao back.

Chapter 27

The first thing Lin Jinnian did with Hu Tao was to let her bury her parents.

During the whole process, Hutao didn't cry.

Maybe it's because she's sensible, maybe she's crying to the point where she can't shed any tears.

After that, Hu Tao kept holding on to Lin Jinnian's clothes and wouldn't let go.

He touched Hu Tao's head.

"I want to create an organization responsible for burying the dead and letting them rest in peace, called the Rebirth Hall."

"Are you willing to be the leader of the hall? Hu Tao."

Hu Tao didn't answer, just looked up at him.

Those eyes were clear and firm.

"If you don't speak, I will take it as your agreement."

Since then, Lin Jinnian, with Pingyun's help, has continued to teach Hutao about funerals.

She is very smart and learns very quickly. She seems to have a talent in this area. She basically understands it after being taught once and practices it in an orderly manner.

But Hu Tao often has nightmares at night.

It may be due to the death of a loved one.

Lin Jinnian would hear her painful murmurs in sleep almost every night, as well as her sobs hiding in bed and crying alone.

So he had to stay with her at night and tell her stories until she fell asleep.

After a few months passed like this, Hutao became cheerful and lively again, and at the same time she became a little more dependent on him.

……

On this day, Hu Tao wanted to hang a bulletin board on the door of the Hall of Purity.

[Big discount for the business of Shengshengtang, enjoy one-stop service with the lowest [-]% discount]

She stood shaky on the ladder and almost lost her balance.

"Hey, sister Pingyun, hold on to the ladder, I haven't nailed it yet."

Pingyun was holding the ladder at the bottom and couldn't help but sweat.

"Hey Hutao, can't you wait until brother Anian comes back to get it? If you drop it, he will definitely talk to me again."

"Oh, it's okay. Who is this hall master? This is not... easy... Hehe! It's done!"

Hu Tao looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, then slowly climbed down the ladder.

"Come on, give me a high five! Yeah!"

"Eh? Yeah...yeah!"

"whee."

At this time, Liyue Qixing's secretary Gan Yu came.

She walked quickly, even a little anxious, and said quickly after seeing the two of them.

"No... it's not good, Lin Jinnian is going to fight with the emperor."

"What's going on? Why is there suddenly going to be a fight?"

"I don't know, I just saw them outside the city, they seemed very serious.

"Where!"

Walnut asked anxiously.

"On the dandelion plain outside the city."

……

When the three of them arrived, they saw Lin Jinnian and Morax facing each other more than ten meters apart.

Hu Tao was about to step forward, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"What is this...Lin Jinnian! Lin Jinnian!"

She clenched her fist and punched the barrier hard, but it had no effect.

Gan Yu speculated after checking it.

"This should be a spell used by the emperor to isolate the outside world and prevent outsiders from entering by mistake."

"Is there no way?"

"No, unless the emperor personally lifts it."

So they could only watch the two people outside.

A transparent long sword appeared in Lin Jinnian's hand, while Morax condensed a rock gun.

In the electric light and flint, the weapons in their hands collided.

Soon the fighting became more intense, and the smoke and dust raised made it difficult to see what was going on inside.

In the end, after a stick of incense, they only saw Lin Jinnian being knocked away several meters by the rock gun.

But he was still holding on and didn't fall down.

"The victory and defeat are already divided."

As the words fell, Morax lifted the barrier.

But what surprised him was that Lin Jinnian spit out a large mouthful of blood and seemed to be seriously injured.

There was a hint of confusion on his face.

"Am I hitting that hard?"

The three people who saw this scene rushed over immediately.

"You don't need to worry, I have nothing..."

However, they tacitly ignored him and went straight to Lin Jinnian.

"..."

And among the three, how could Hutao outrun the other two?

The first one to arrive and help him was Ping Yun, followed by Gan Yu, and finally her.

"Brother Anian! How are you?"

"Lin...Mr. Lin Jinnian, are you okay?"

Gan Yu and Ping Yun supported him on the left and right, Hu Tao seemed a bit redundant.

After Lin Jinnian recovered, he said.

"It's okay, it's my own problem."

He also noticed Hu Tao next to him with a resentful look on his face.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

"Humph, I don't care about you."

……

Later, Lin Jinnian found the boundary between life and death [Wuwang Slope] according to his memory.
