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

Lin Jinnian happened to see her eyes that were red from crying and the corners of her eyes were moist.

Coupled with the shy and blushing expression, it looks very cute.

I could only hear her speaking in a waxy voice.

"A-Nian... you don't... laugh at your sister, do you?"

"How could it be? It's just..."

Lin Jinnian slowly stretched out his hand towards her face.

Pingyun immediately closed her eyes when she saw it, but there was a pain on both sides of her face.

She opened her eyes and saw Lin Jinnian looking at her with "kind" eyes and squeezing her face with both hands.

"Then Sister Ping..."

"Where's my wine gourd? That's a very valuable item~"

Pingyun saw it and apologized quickly.

"Sorry, sorry! I was so excited all of a sudden! I'm sorry!"

"Oops! I'm sorry... I'm going to find it now! Don't pinch my face! Please! Ooooooooooooooo..."

"Bullying my sister again...wuwuwu...bad guy..."

Lin Jinnian looked at her with a smirk on his face. Pingyun kept begging for mercy, but he wouldn't let go.

There's nothing I can do about it, she's just too cute.

……

After Pingyun went to find the wine gourd, Lin Jinnian leaned under the plum tree alone.

At this time, his mood had calmed down a lot.

After all, I made an agreement with Hu Tao.

He inadvertently looked up at the sky and smiled in relief.

"You must be happy..."

Chapter 34 Whether to break or not

In the evening, Lin Jinnian and Pingyun sat at a solid wood table.

There are several plates of side dishes and a bottle of wine on the table.

The two of them sat facing each other, but Pingyun lowered her head and put her hands on her thighs obediently, as if she had done something wrong.

How could Lin Jinnian have the heart to let her go to the wilderness alone to find a wine gourd?

This thing flew back by itself as long as he moved his fingers. There was no need to look for it. It was just scaring her before.

But Pingyun still felt that she was too reckless and kept looking like this.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have just thrown your things away."

"Okay, okay, I have told you so many times that I have forgiven you a long time ago. If you continue like this... don't blame me for feeding you tomatoes."

As he spoke, Lin Jinnian took out a red tomato and waved it in front of Pingyun.

The effect was immediate. Pingyun was as scared as a mouse seeing a cat, shaking his head crazily.

"No, no, no! Only tomatoes can't do it!"

“I can’t accept that sour and slippery taste!”

She was still covering her mouth tightly.

Lin Jinnian laughed secretly in his heart.

Sure enough, even after so many years, Pingyun's weakness of hating tomatoes has not changed.

He put the tomatoes away.

"That's alright. I accept your apology and let this matter be considered a thing of the past."

"All right……"

Then Lin Jinnian coughed twice and said seriously.

"Well, Sister Ping, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter? Sister, I will try my best to answer you!"

When Ping Yun heard this, it was rare that Lin Jinnian had anything to ask her, and she immediately became excited.

Lin Jinnian sorted out his thoughts and spoke eloquently.

"Sister Ping, as the True Lord of Gechenlang City, you are walking in the world."

"You should have seen a lot of joys and sorrows, and have more experience in getting along with ordinary people."

"I would like to ask, how should I get along with mortals? Should I stay away from them in order to reduce the sadness caused by separation?"

"Should we...break it off?"

Hu Tao's departure and Zhongli's words had a great impact on him, and he was even a little confused.

In fact, it had been a long time since he had interacted with a mortal.

When I was in the immortal world, I was surrounded by immortal cultivators who lived a long life, and rarely experienced partings that lasted for hundreds of years.

Now Lin Jinnian truly understands the pain caused by this difference in life span.

He realized that he was a little too close to Yonomiya Ayaka and others, and in the long run, a bond that could not be severed might be formed...

You should stay away.

Pingyun was silent for a moment, and when she raised her eyes again, she looked at him with complicated eyes.

"Refuse to meet because you are afraid of separation...?"

She moved her chair closer.

"Then let me give you an example, just like Hutao has left you now."

"But will you regret meeting her? Will you regret having this experience? Will you be willing to forget her?"

Lin Jinnian's expression was slightly moved.

Ping Yun continued.

"The answer is already clear, right?"

"Because as long as it once existed and can leave proof of existence or precious memories, you will no longer feel sorry for this fate."

"On the contrary, I will be glad to have met each other and leave a story between the two of them."

"I think... Hutao already knows the ending of the story, but she didn't deliberately alienate you because she was afraid of separation."

"She must be... very, very lucky to have met you."

Pingyun looked at Lin Jinnian firmly.

"Moreover, meeting you is a very lucky thing! Just like me, I am glad to have met you every moment."

She put her hand on her chest again and said softly.

"So, you must not not plant seeds or watch the flowers bloom just because you are worried that the flowers will wither. Otherwise, you will miss many beautiful scenery."

Is that so...

Lin Jinnian said nothing.

He originally thought that under the erosion of time, he would gain nothing, and everything would eventually leave him, leaving only endless loneliness.

But now it seems that I was wrong.

Perhaps some precious things can transcend time and cannot be erased.

Maybe...he shouldn't resist the bond with mortals.

However, while Lin Jinnian was thinking, he didn't notice Pingyun's sneaky movements in front of him.

Suddenly, Ping Yun's strange-sounding voice came to his ears.

"I will always be by your side...forever and ever..."

He raised his head and saw Ping Yun's red face and blurred eyes.

Moreover, there was a strong smell of alcohol coming from her body.

Is it...

Lin Jinnian frowned and picked up the wine bottle originally placed on the table.

Sure enough, it was empty.

On the other hand, there was still a little bit left in the small wine glass in her hand.

It seemed that she secretly drank wine at some point while she was not paying attention.

But this is no ordinary wine.

As an Immortal Emperor, he could be intoxicated by this wine, let alone her, a True Lord who couldn't drink.

The consequences can be imagined...

The next second, Pingyun hugged him with a silly look on his face.

"Hey hey hey...hug..."

He grabbed Lin Jinnian and refused to let go.

He subconsciously wanted to push her away, but she immediately pressed forward, pouting with dissatisfaction on her face.

"hug me……"

Lin Jinnian tried to break away several times to no avail and then gave up. No matter what, she would stick to him again.

This kind of situation has never happened before. As expected, she must not be allowed to drink alcohol...

So what can he do now?

Pingyun was crying and kept shouting his name.

"Hehehe...A Nian...hehehe...kiss..."

Her head kept shaking, and the hairpin used to fix her hair was about to fall to the ground...

Fortunately, Lin Jinnian caught it with one hand.

He looked at the hairpin in his hand and felt familiar.

After thinking for a while, I finally remembered, wasn't this hairpin the one I gave to her at that time?

This hairpin was a gift he carefully selected in order to repay Ping Yun for saving her life.

Never noticed it before.

I didn't expect that she was still wearing it and that it was so well preserved.

And as the hairpin fell off, the green hair was scattered on the shoulders, and the cold and smooth hair brushed Lin Jinnian's hand.

You can feel that she is well-maintained, soft and not boring, and it feels indescribably comfortable when your fingertips touch it.

But looking at her current appearance, Lin Jinnian had no choice but to let her hold her and touch her head, maybe she would fall asleep.

The facts were just as he expected. Gradually, Pingyun began to become confused.

How to describe it?Like... a cat.

Touch her head and she will rub his hand back with her face, which is very cute.

Not long after, Pingyun fell asleep.

She slept deeply, probably because she was very tired during this time.

Thinking about it, she was always by his side when he entered the conscious space.
