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

Lin Jinnian couldn't help but smile.

He used to often sleep on the roof of the shrine, so he was often lectured by Fox Saigu.

However, Kosai Palace... Gogo Chiyo... Sasa Yuri...

Also, true.

These people who used to laugh and fight with him now only have cold names left.

The Kanria War 500 years ago still took away Zhen.

Foxsai Palace, Gogochiyo, and Yuri Sasa, they also died due to various events just like in the original plot.

When he came to this land in high spirits, he became the "Demon God of Swords" without the eyes of God and unable to use elemental power.

Naively thinking that he can change the plot and let Zhen and others survive.

He also told Shin and Kage, who had sensed the storm in the future and felt uneasy about it.

"You don't have to worry about me before I die."

Such ridiculous words.

Ah.

In the end, because of that accident, nothing could be changed, all the old friends were gone, and Shadow began to pursue eternity.

Once the old friend is gone without a trace, where is the early stage...

Ugh.

As if aware of his inner loneliness, Yae Shenzi poked his face to comfort him.

"Don't look like you're so sad that you're about to cry. You can't change this kind of thing alone."

Seeing that Lin Jinnian remained unmoved, she felt helpless.

Why is it like Ying, who attributes all the faults to himself.

She had no choice but to change her approach and start teasing.

"My ears...want to touch them?"

Hearing this, Lin Jinnian raised his head and looked at her.

Eh?It seems to have some effect? 500 years have passed and this has not changed. It’s really easy to deal with~

Then, she leaned close to Lin Jinnian's ear.

"After you left, no one touched my ears anymore. I'm so lonely."

As he spoke, he shook it deliberately.

However, before she could react, a pair of hands had already pressed on her fox ears.

"Eh?! Wait! Not now!!!"

She couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but this expression on her face made it even more interesting.

Lin Jinnian used the technique from memory to skillfully knead those pink fox ears...

Yae Shenzi felt that his legs softened in an instant, and he almost fell to his knees, and his fair and charming face turned red.

It turned out that she was the one who was defenseless.

Just then, Shadow arrived and saw this scene...

……

……

"So, this is how it is. If you don't believe it, you can ask the Son of God."

Shadow looked at him calmly, then took back his dream.

"I believe what you said, the Son of God is indeed the person who would do that kind of thing."

"Then...can we go out? If you have any questions, I can answer them together."

"it is good."

When Yae Shenzi saw the two reappearing, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and became concerned.

"That stubborn guy Ying didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Ying frowned, suddenly wanting to chop this family member with a knife.

It was Lin Jinnian who came out to smooth things over and led them to find a room to sit down.

……

Ying and Yae Shenzi knelt down opposite Lin Jinnian, as if they wanted to interrogate him.

Lin Jinnian, who always felt that something was missing, took out a tea set and a few taels of tea leaves from the ring and made them a pot of tea.

Looking at his skillful technique, Ying was a little surprised.

"You've never made your own tea before."

"I'm just killing time when I'm bored."

After brewing, Yae Shenzi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and couldn't help but admire it.

"Hmm ~ good tea."

And Ying asked first

"Back to the topic, why did you disappear suddenly? Where did you go? Why did you come back now?"

Lin Jinnian organized his thoughts and answered unhurriedly.

"This... my situation is very special. You also know that I came to Inazuma suddenly. My disappearance was very similar to this. It was also out of my control and I was forced to leave."

Hearing this, Ying asked worriedly.

"Then will you disappear suddenly?"

She was afraid that one day, maybe next month, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next moment, Lin Jinnian would suddenly disappear again, just like 500 years ago.

Leave without a trace.

Hearing this, Lin Jinnian looked at the system panel and found that there was an additional display named "Coordinates" at some point, which said Teyvat Continent.

"Probably not."

"Should..."

Obviously this answer is not perfect.

Lin Jinnian could only continue talking.

"As for where I went, you can understand that I went to a place outside the quantum sea."

When it comes to these, the faces of Ying and Yae Shenzi couldn't help but become solemn.

"It is a completely different world from Teyvat. There are no elements and no God's Eye. My power comes from there."

"No wonder the power in you is completely different from ours."

"So...how are you doing?"

Lin Jinnian could only smile bitterly.

"It's not very good. The people there are not as friendly as here in Teyvat. I was often bullied at first."

Shadow was a little surprised.

"You are so strong, will you be bullied?"

"I have been practicing for a long time before I became strong... Then, I lived alone there. I missed you very much at first, but then I almost forgot who you were."

Only then did Yae Shenzi understand where the unfamiliar feeling came from. It turned out that Lin Jinnian had experienced very serious wear and tear.

Thinking of this, she leaned forward slightly, stretched out her hand and patted Lin Jinnian's head gently.

The latter didn't even react.

"It's good to come back, but you're not allowed to leave us again, okay?"

Lin Jinnian was stunned.

It was clear that he was just a little fox as a pet before, but now he is touching his head to comfort himself.

However, it seems not bad.

He pushed Yae Shenzi's hand away and asked Shadow.

"Then... did they... say anything after I left?"

He was actually a little scared, afraid that his friends would misunderstand him and think that he ran away at that critical moment.

But in fact he was overthinking.

Ying understood his concern and shook his head.

"Actually, everyone didn't blame you for your sudden disappearance, but they were worried about you. They sent people out to look for you several times, but found nothing."

"Although a storm was about to come at that time, we all knew who you were and knew that you could not escape out of fear. There must be some unavoidable reason for your disappearance."

Then, Ying pursed his lips unhappily.

"But for me personally, I am really a little disappointed in you, because you said those words to my sister and me but failed to fulfill your promise."

She placed her palms against her chest.

"But when my sister fell in my arms, I hated myself more for being weak. If I were stronger... I could protect everyone."

"So, I want to achieve eternity and not allow myself to lose anything precious."

After saying that, Ying raised his head and looked directly into his eyes.

"Will you pursue eternity with me?"

Chapter 5 Little Fox

Lin Jinnian did not deny it and said calmly.

"I will always stand behind you."

"I will not interfere with your will. What kind of eternity you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it are all up to you."

"But I won't let you rely on my power to achieve it, because you are the god of Inazuma."

Shadow nodded.

"Well, that's enough."

Even if Lin Jinnian remembered the plot of the game and knew that the eternity in the movie's current heart was wrong, he had no intention of changing it.

On the one hand, his identity is not suitable, and it would be too hurtful for Ying to commit such a "betrayal" behavior just after he returned.

On the other hand, the blond traveler will naturally come to correct her soon. She just needs to help her a little, and there is no need to take direct action.

Besides, he had no intention of changing the plot in advance.

In other words, Lin Jinnian himself didn't care much about it. Whether it was the national lock-down order or the eye-hunting order, "eternal" affects the life and death of mortals, so what does it have to do with him?

Maybe my feelings are too cold, but this is an inevitable effect of spending a long time.

Lin Jinnian drank the tea in the cup and stared at the bottom of the cup in a daze.

But Yae Shenzi didn't speak, he just looked thoughtfully at the side.

"Sure enough, you are not within the range of 'variables'."

Ying closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her aura had changed. Her eyes lost a bit of life and became extremely cold.

His face lost all expression, and his tone of voice was very cold.

"There are still things to deal with at the castle tower, so I'll go back first."

After that, she left Narukami Taisha Shrine alone.

After the shadow left, Yae Shenzi let out a long sigh.

"Oh, it's hard to see her once, why are you so anxious to go back and hide?"
