So beautiful!!!
Lumine shouted in her heart. She couldn't take her eyes off her at first glance. This person was too beautiful.
Lumine could only describe the girl in front of her as a fairy. Although she hadn't made too many movements, she was full of fairy spirit between her gestures, making people wonder if she was a fairy.
In addition to her amazing appearance, the most important thing was the decorations on her body. After just a few more glances, Lumine started to drool. This... this was too tempting.
Paimon noticed Lumine's infatuation and couldn't stand it anymore. He covered her eyes, not allowing her to look at people with such rude eyes again.
Although Lumine's gaze was very obvious, Shenhe ignored her and kept her eyes on Klee in front of Durandal.
This was the first time she had seen so many people on Mt. Aocang. Considering her situation, Shenhe was a little afraid to go forward, but she also wanted to understand the reason for the matter, so she had no choice but to step forward.
"Is today's practice over?"
As a disciple of the immortals, Shenhe had to complete the various tasks left to her by Cloud Retainer every day, which was also her main way to pass the time.
"Yes, it's done."
The tasks Cloud Retainer left her were not difficult and could be solved with a little time. After completing the tasks, Shenhe came to the pool where she usually stayed with Durandal.
Originally, she thought that today would be the same as usual, with the two of them spending time together quietly, but she didn't expect so many new faces to appear.
Klee looked curiously at this beautiful sister she had never seen before. She was completely different from the people she knew. At least no one had her temperament, and the feeling she gave was completely different.
"Sister Durandal, who is this sister?"
"Her? She is Shenhe, Cloud Retainer's disciple. She uses immortal magic with a human body and has excellent aptitude. She has been with me during my time on Mt. Aocang."
Although she had a very special physique, this physique would not have a great impact on her. On the contrary, she was able to understand the secrets of that strange energy on her own.
As for Cloud Retainer, um~ Durandal did learn a lot about Ganyu's past from her, and also understood why she cared so much about her figure.
Thinking about it now, it was quite interesting. She didn't expect that someone could choke a God's throat with her figure and kill the God in this way.
Killing a God with one's own strength was something that no immortal could do except for Rex Lapis. Ganyu could be proud of this.
But... how should this pride be expressed? It was a bit shameful, after all, it was because of her chubby figure that she was able to kill the God by being fat enough to choke the God's throat. There was no way to make people happy by saying this kind of thing.
Ganyu's skin was thin, and this experience became her dark history. At the same time, she didn't dare to eat things randomly like before. She only dared to eat some vegetables every day, among which Qingxin was her staple food.
In addition to Ganyu's dark history, Cloud Retainer also said other things, including about Shenhe.
This person's way of chatting was quite interesting. The main thing was to bring out other people's dark history as a topic of conversation. It felt good as a listener, but as the person involved... Fortunately, there were no other people besides them at the time.
After listening to Durandal's introduction, Klee nodded, ran to Shenhe, bowed politely, and said.
"Hello, Sister Shenhe. I am Klee from Mondstadt. I am the Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius. Thank you very much for taking care of Sister Durandal these past few days."
"No, I didn't actually do anything."
Shenhe was not very good at talking to others. Facing Klee's initiative to greet her, she was silent for a moment before answering.
Faced with this beautiful older sister's [polite] speech, Klee smiled slightly, took a few steps forward and wanted to do something, but as she approached, Shenhe took a few steps back.
Um? This made Klee very strange. Did this older sister not like others getting close to her? Or did she hate her? So she didn't let her get close.
"You don't have to worry about affecting Klee, Shenhe. According to your master, although your fate will affect other people, with me absorbing that [poison], the impact you cause can be offset by other people's fates."
The fate of loneliness and evil was not a feudal saying. Shenhe accidentally hurt those who approached her because of this fate.
In the past, she could only use the red rope given to her by Cloud Retainer to slightly suppress it, but Durandal's method was more direct, directly absorbing the [poison] generated by the fate, so that the effect that loneliness and evil could produce was reduced to the lowest level.
In this case, the fate on other people's bodies could suppress the loneliness and evil on Shenhe's body. If the fate was strong, it could even suppress it in turn.
Klee's Constellation was a four-leaf clover, which was a Constellation symbolizing luck. It was not easy for ordinary bad luck to affect this little cutie, so Shenhe didn't have to worry about hurting Klee.
After listening to Durandal's explanation, Shenhe thought again and again, put her hand on Klee's head, and gently stroked it a few times.
Very beautiful hair. Although she hadn't taken good care of it these past few days, it didn't prevent Shenhe from feeling Klee's hair quality.
Faced with Shenhe's stroking, Klee showed a bright smile. She didn't dislike Shenhe's actions, and even took the initiative to rub against the other person's hand. This small action made the corners of Shenhe's mouth rise slightly.
So cute, this Children. She understood a little why Durandal cared so much about her.
After spending a little time with Klee, Shenhe turned her attention to Lumine, who had been looking at her since the beginning. This person's eyes... how should I put it? It was a little too strong.
"Is that girl your friend too?"
"Her... I don't know her. She may have just climbed to the top of the mountain by chance, seeking immortal fate. Don't pay attention to her."
Originally, she wanted to introduce Lumine to Shenhe, but when she saw that this guy's soul was completely hooked away by Shenhe, she immediately changed her mind and said, who is this guy? A complete stranger.
She was supposed to come to her with Klee, but now her attention was completely taken away by Shenhe. This person... she really didn't disappoint in this regard.
"Hey! What do you mean by not knowing me? Aren't we traveling companions? It's too hurtful to say that."
Seeing that Durandal didn't intend to introduce herself, Lumine became anxious and immediately ran over to introduce herself to Shenhe.
Faced with such a familiar Lumine, Shenhe was a little at a loss, but she could see that Lumine was not a bad person, so she was not vigilant and tried to chat with her.
The small theater that used to be quiet with only Durandal and Shenhe was now lively. With Klee and Paimon, two people who livened up the atmosphere, it would never be a cold scene.
While they were chatting, Cloud Retainer stood in the distance watching all this. Although This Immortal always said that the immortals' cave was forbidden to be noisy, she was still very happy to see Shenhe showing a long-lost smile as her master.
Cloud Retainer was not good at expressing goodwill. When she saw Shenhe waking up from a nightmare, she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only let her stop practicing and take a good rest.
As an immortal, Cloud Retainer possessed power far beyond that of humans, but even she could not do anything about Shenhe's fate of loneliness and evil. She could only temporarily suppress it with a red rope.
Durandal's arrival solved this situation, but if she wanted to communicate with people again, she still needed to exercise more. It just so happened that these people were not afraid of Shenhe. Letting Shenhe be with them should make the smile on her face more frequent.
The group was chatting happily, but this time could not last forever. Lumine and Klee were going to leave Mt. Aocang and return to Liyue Harbor.
Durandal would also leave with them, which meant... Mt. Aocang would once again be left with her and Cloud Retainer, and she would once again return to being alone.
"If you need anything, you can come to Liyue Harbor to find us at any time. We welcome you to come at any time, Shenhe."
Lumine could see Shenhe's thoughts. She also welcomed such a beautiful young lady to visit her home. If she came to sit at home more often and the relationship improved, she could stick together like Durandal.
"...But, I still have to complete the tasks assigned by my master."
Shenhe was very happy with Lumine's invitation, but considering that going to Liyue Harbor would mean meeting old acquaintances, and that she had to complete the tasks assigned to her by Cloud Retainer every day, did she... really have that time?
"If you want to go, then go. There is also that Children Ganyu at Liyue Harbor, you can have her take care of you."
"Master!"
Cloud Retainer landed in front of Shenhe, and then said: "All along, you have completed the tasks I have assigned very well. The current cultivation will not help you much to improve. If you still want to improve yourself, you can only go out and travel, and look for other opportunities."
"Master..."
"No need to act like this. As This Immortal's disciple, when traveling outside, don't let people laugh at you and ruin This Immortal's reputation. Do you understand?"
"Disciple...understands."
Cloud Retainer nodded. Finally, she looked at Durandal, without any words, but through her eyes, she understood what Cloud Retainer wanted to say to her.
How strange, she had only stayed here for a few days, and they hadn't communicated much with each other, but Durandal felt that she understood Cloud Retainer unusually well, and felt that she should do this.
It's like...it's like if she were to do this, she would do the same. They are quite similar in some ways.
If she stayed here for a longer period of time, would they become friends? It seems...a bit difficult.
Cloud Retainer flew away. Watching the other party's leaving back, Shenhe put her hands in front of her and murmured: "Master..."
She understood that traveling and opportunities were just a way of saying things. Cloud Retainer saw that she wanted to go out and take a walk, so she used this excuse to get her to agree to Lumine's invitation.
Although she is usually very strict with her, she knows that Cloud Retainer cares about her, just not good at expressing it.
Looking at the smiling people looking at her, Shenhe thought for a while and said.
"I am Shenhe, with a solitary and evil fate, prone to hurting people around me. The immortal instructed me to use this red rope to lock my soul and control my murderous intentions. If you are not afraid to travel with me, then please reach out your hand."
Shenhe stretched out her hand. Lumine didn't hesitate too much and held the other party's hand, feeling the warmth of the other party. Shenhe showed a faint smile on her face.
