Genshin Impact: After Getting Married, Something Changed in My Body Chapter 210 - 23 – Cloud Retainer Panics
"Shenhe, what nonsense are you saying?"
Cloud Retainer glared at Shenhe. "You must have seen wrong!"
"Master, I didn't."
"In my mory, one of the figures looked very similar to Yaoyao."
"I suspect it was Yaoyao."
"Shenhe, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Cloud Retainer asked.
"I'm… not completely sure. In those scenes, I could see myself and my daughter very clearly."
"But the others were blurrier."
"I could only see their general outlines. I'm not certain about the rest," Shenhe said, shaking her head.
"Then perhaps you saw wrong," Cloud Retainer said.
"Master, should we hurry and leave?"
"Your expressions changed so much just now. Did Yaoyao do sothing wrong?" Yaoyao asked.
"No, nothing like that." Cloud Retainer shook her head. "Yaoyao, don't take what Shenhe said just now to heart."
"Pretend you didn't hear anything. Understand?"
"Oh, okay." Yaoyao nodded.
She scratched her head. "Master, I have sothing important to tell you."
"What is it?" Mada Ping asked.
"When Yaoyao ca here just now, I saw a lot of Millelith arresting people," Yaoyao said.
"The Millelith are arresting soone?" Cloud Retainer glanced at Shenhe. "What happened?"
"Mm, I heard they were trying to arrest Shenhe-nee."
"Yaoyao ca to see Ganyu-nee, so Ganyu-nee asked what was going on," Mada Ping said.
Cloud Retainer frowned. "They're searching for Shenhe?"
"Keqing probably realized what happened," Shenhe said.
Cloud Retainer looked at Shenhe and thought of how she had snatched Ryou right out from under Keqing's nose. She could only shake her head.
Shenhe had taken Ryou straight from Keqing's hands. It was perfectly normal for Keqing to search all of Liyue for her.
"Auntie Cloud Retainer, will Yaoyao be all right?" Yaoyao asked.
"You'll be fine," Cloud Retainer said.
Mada Ping looked outside. "Cloud Retainer, I'll leave this matter to you."
"I should be going back soon. Don't forget to tell Ryou what we discussed."
"All right. One knows." Cloud Retainer nodded.
"Ryou-nii? What happened to him?" Yaoyao asked, looking up.
"Nothing." Cloud Retainer shook her head.
Thinking of what Shenhe had said earlier, she did not explain further.
Cloud Retainer believed Shenhe. She knew Shenhe was straightforward and would never lie to her.
But the thought of Yaoyao being together with Ryou still felt bizarre.
After all, Yaoyao was still a child.
Ryou, you beast. Even Yaoyao?
Mada Ping glanced at Cloud Retainer, then asked, "Yaoyao, why are you so worried about Ryou?"
"Eh? Am I not supposed to be?"
Yaoyao tilted her head. "Ryou-nii saved Liyue Harbor. He saved everyone in Liyue."
"He's a great hero. Yaoyao likes him a lot, and Ryou-nii is really handso too!"
"Yaoyao is so jealous of Keqing-nee!"
"Ahem." Cloud Retainer coughed.
The more she listened, the more wrong it sounded.
And there was sothing strangely familiar about it too.
Cloud Retainer had two disciples. One was Ganyu, and the other was Shenhe.
Both of them had deep feelings for Ryou and wanted nothing more than to marry him as soon as possible.
Ganyu's side was still uncertain, but Shenhe would almost certainly beco Ryou's wife in the future and even bear his children.
Then there was Mada Ping.
Mada Ping also had two disciples. One was naturally Xiangling.
Xiangling liked Ryou very much and even wanted to compete with Keqing for him.
And now there was Yaoyao. What she had just said sounded painfully familiar to Cloud Retainer.
Did that an Yaoyao would also marry Ryou in the future?
What kind of charm did Ryou even have?
Just thinking about it gave Cloud Retainer a headache. Was Ryou so kind of adeptus-disciple collector?
Was he planning to spare no one?
"Auntie Cloud Retainer, what's wrong?" Yaoyao asked.
"Nothing." Cloud Retainer shook her head.
"Yaoyao only admires Ryou. Cloud Retainer, don't overthink it."
"You're still young. Don't think about romance yet. Understand?" Mada Ping reminded her.
"Romance? What does that an?"
"Does it an Yaoyao and Ryou-nii?"
"But Yaoyao is still little," Yaoyao said.
"As long as you understand that." Mada Ping let out a breath of relief. "All right, Cloud Retainer, I'll take Yaoyao back first."
"Good." Cloud Retainer nodded.
"Auntie Cloud Retainer, please give these herbs to Ganyu-nee."
"Yaoyao worked very hard to gather them a few days ago." Yaoyao took the herbs from the basket on her back and placed them on the table one by one.
"That's very thoughtful of you, Yaoyao," Cloud Retainer said with a smile.
"Of course."
"Ganyu-nee takes good care of Yaoyao, so… Yaoyao will leave with Master now. Goodbye, Auntie Cloud Retainer!" Yaoyao said.
She walked to Mada Ping's side. "Master, I'll support you!"
"All right, all right. Yaoyao is such a good child," Mada Ping said with a smile.
Cloud Retainer watched Mada Ping and Yaoyao walk away, her expression softening. "Yaoyao is such a thoughtful child."
"Shenhe, in the future, have another daughter. One will help you raise her."
"All right." Shenhe nodded.
"Shenhe, what you said just now… was it really true?" Cloud Retainer suddenly asked.
"Master, I'm not sure."
"But one of the figures did look very similar to Yaoyao. That feeling was definitely not wrong. I suspect…"
"Enough. No need to say more." Cloud Retainer cut her off. "What a sin."
"Yaoyao is still a child. How could Ryou go after her?"
"Master, in my mory, that figure wasn't very tall. It should happen not too far in the future."
"Hiss! Ryou is a complete beast. Yaoyao is still a child!"
Cloud Retainer was so angry she could barely stand it. "You… all of you are going to anger one to death."
"Ryou is only a mortal. What is so good about him?"
Shenhe looked at Cloud Retainer and said nothing.
If she said it out loud, Master probably would not be able to accept it.
"Bring the herbs and co with one to Yujing Terrace. Let Ganyu handle this matter," Cloud Retainer said.
"Yes, Master." Shenhe nodded.
Shenhe followed Cloud Retainer out of Ganyu's ho.
Not long after they left, Shenhe noticed several familiar figures on the street.
"Isn't that Tabibito?"
"Tabibito?" Cloud Retainer looked over. "Wasn't she sent to Mondstadt by Keqing? How did she return to Liyue Harbor so quickly?"
"I don't know," Shenhe said.
"Co. Let's go take a look," Cloud Retainer said.
"Yes, Master," Shenhe replied.
Shenhe followed Cloud Retainer over, and they soon reached the group.
"Shenhe?"
"You still have the nerve to show your face?"
"That woman threw all the way to Mondstadt yesterday. Why didn't you help ?" Tabibito demanded.
"I couldn't help you," Shenhe said.
"You were just afraid you'd be thrown into Mondstadt too, weren't you? Shenhe, you…"
Before Tabibito could continue, she saw Dunyarzad tremble and clutch her chest before collapsing.
"Dunyarzad!" Dehya caught her and helped her sit down on a nearby bench.
"Let one take a look at her," Cloud Retainer said.
"One? Mm… are you Cloud Retainer?" Tabibito asked when she heard that self-reference.
Cloud Retainer nodded.
Dehya stared. "Hey, hey. Are Liyue's adepti just everywhere?"
"One showed up at Wangshu Inn earlier, and now another appears in Liyue Harbor?"
"Oh? From your tone, it seems you t the Conqueror of Demons."
"Your adeptal fortune is not shallow. Now, let one examine this young girl first," Cloud Retainer said.
Cloud Retainer infused Dunyarzad with adeptal power, and her breathing soon steadied.
Her pale face regained so color, and she looked much better.
"Cough, cough. I… I feel much better. Thank you for saving !" Dunyarzad said.
Cloud Retainer could see how emotional Dunyarzad was. "There is no need to be so excited."
"You have Eleazar, but one cannot cure you."
"By rights, this illness should not exist in Liyue Harbor. Mm… are you from Suru?"
"Yes, I'm from Suru." Dunyarzad nodded.
"No wonder," Cloud Retainer said.
"Master, is her illness that serious?" Shenhe asked.
Cloud Retainer glanced at Shenhe. "It is an incurable disease. Over the past few centuries, at least ten thousand people have suffered from it."
"It's that serious?" Shenhe was surprised.
She thought back to when they were on Mt. Aocang and Ryou had given her a cup of Blood Mary.
After she drank it, the killing aura in her body had been suppressed.
It had not flared up again even now. Her condition had only grown better afterward, and her cultivation had improved greatly as well.
Shenhe could tell that Blood Mary was extrely precious. She only did not know whether Ryou's Blood Mary could cure Dunyarzad.
"Thank you for treating . I understand my condition," Dunyarzad said with a bitter smile.
"Cloud Retainer, even you can't cure Dunyarzad?" Tabibito asked.
Cloud Retainer glanced at Tabibito. "One cannot. Perhaps Ryou can."
"Then we'll go ask the g—"
Paimon started to speak, but Tabibito quickly covered her mouth.
Cloud Retainer looked at Tabibito and Paimon. "Shenhe and one are going to Yujing Terrace. What are your plans?"
"Yujing Terrace? I'm going with you!" Tabibito said.
Thinking of how Keqing had thrown her to Mondstadt yesterday made her angry all over again.
That woman was vicious.
This ti, she was absolutely going to settle the score with Keqing.
…
Inside Yujing Terrace.
"Ryou-sama!"
The Ministry of Civil Affairs staff greeted Ryou as soon as they saw him.
Ryou saw them packing things and casually asked, "What are you doing?"
"Ryou-sama, Keqing-sama told us to move back to Feiyun Slope for work," Huixin said.
"I see. Is my wife in her office?" Ryou asked.
"Keqing-sama left a mont ago," Huixin explained. "Ryou-sama, Zhongli-sensei brought soone to join the Ministry earlier. His na is Zhong Lishui."
"Zhong… Lishui?"
Ryou's expression turned strange.
Just as Ryou was about to ask more, soone rushed in from outside.
The next second, he was hugged tightly.
