Genshin Impact: I Made the Entire Playerbase Cry Chapter 25: Acquaintance

Lingyuan and Fujin stared in astonishnt at the scene before them.

They could hardly believe their eyes.

In just an instant—

All the accumulated snow on the entire mountain had vanished.

And from the looks of it, it had beco part of the sword.

Mu Yang turned around.

"Is this enough?"

The Guardian Lion and the Koi exchanged glances.

Then nodded.

Mu Yang surveyed the area.

This was originally a barren mountain—

Nothing but scattered rocks.

Not even small animals could be found.

Perhaps other creatures had sensed the threat and fled beforehand.

That's why he hadn't detected any energy signatures like Fujin or Lingyuan approaching.

Seeing how agreeable Mu Yang was,

Fujin imdiately moved closer to inspect him.

This was just her nature.

After circling Mu Yang a few tis,

she finally asked, "Do you have a na?"

Mu Yang answered without hesitation.

"Mu Yang. That's all I rember—not sure if it's my na or not."

"Then we'll call you Mu Yang from now on! I'm Fujin, and she's Lingyuan."

Fujin's tone was brimming with excitent.

She loved making new friends.

Lingyuan, however, was different.

She kept her distance from Mu Yang.

And didn't give him a friendly look.

Probably because she'd been sent flying twice earlier.

Mu Yang asked, "That 'disaster' you ntioned earlier—was it caused by ?"

Lingyuan flared up at the question.

"Who else could it be?!"

"The snow you created even spread to my mountain!"

Mu Yang lowered his head.

"Sorry… I couldn't control my power in that state earlier..."

Fujin stepped between them to diate.

"Alright, alright! Since it was unintentional, let's not dwell on it."

"Besides, it didn't actually affect your mountain—just made it a bit colder."

"This area was already barren anyway—nothing but rocks."

Mu Yang sighed in relief.

Though this setting wasn't his doing,

the idea to accelerate the absorption of surrounding energy had been his.

At least it hadn't caused any serious harm.

Fujin asked Mu Yang what he planned to do next.

Like whether he'd try to uncover why he appeared here in the first place.

Mu Yang said he had no leads.

Fujin, ever enthusiastic,

suggested that instead of staying here alone,

he should co live with them on the opposite mountain.

She even promised to introduce him to another friend.

Mu Yang knew she ant Yaojun.

Of course, he agreed.

Right now, both Fujin and Lingyuan were still in their beast forms.

The ancestors of Chenyu Vale likely hadn't migrated here yet.

If he didn't go with them,

there'd be little point wandering around aimlessly.

Besides, this "companion" setting was sothing Mu Yang himself had written.

So he accepted Fujin's invitation.

Delighted, Fujin swam circles around him.

While Fujin was overjoyed,

Lingyuan let out a displeased "hmph."

Seed like befriending this mountain's ruler would take so more ti.

On the way back,

Fujin excitedly introduced Mu Yang to their mountain.

Telling him what they usually did for fun.

Mu Yang listened attentively,

occasionally chiming in with comnts.

Then Lingyuan abruptly asked a question.

"Why do you take on such a strange form?"

Mu Yang was montarily confused.

"Human form is strange?"

"Human?"

Lingyuan didn't understand.

But Fujin's eyes sparkled.

"Wow! So this is what a human looks like!"

"I've heard birds talk about them—they live sowhere in that direction."

Fujin pointed toward The Chasm.

According to Teyvat's history,

the ancestors of Chenyu Vale originally ca from The Chasm.

After the Skyfrost Nail fell,

they migrated to Chenyu Vale

and settled here.

Upon learning Mu Yang knew about humans,

Fujin imdiately flew from Lingyuan's back to Mu Yang's shoulder.

She bombarded him with questions the entire way.

Clearly, she adored this topic.

Lingyuan, however, did not.

She had no interest in humans.

Nor was she thrilled

that this newcor had stolen her friend's attention...

Mu Yang could feel the daggers in Lingyuan's gaze.

Before long, the trio finally left the barren mountain behind.

After crossing a lake,

they arrived at Lingyuan's mountain.

This place was far livelier than the rock-strewn wasteland.

Lush green grass,

vibrant life,

birds singing amid fragrant blossoms.

Fujin leaped from Mu Yang's shoulder into the water.

After swimming a lap, she surfaced and blew bubbles.

"Now the lake's back to normal too."

Fujin explained to Mu Yang

that the snow had gradually spread to the lake earlier.

The temperature change affected the creatures in the water.

That's why Lingyuan had been so desperate to find the cause.

"Don't judge her by her attitude—she's actually very kind to everyone."

Mu Yang nodded in understanding.

A classic case of "cold on the outside, warm on the inside."

Later, Mu Yang asked Fujin to help him apologize to the creatures in the water.

Since he had caused this disaster,

he was willing to make it up to them.

"How co you left to investigate and ca back with a human?"

The speaker was a pure white snake,

currently coiled around a tree branch, flicking its tongue.

Her blood-red eyes

were slightly unsettling.

Fujin jumped out of the water

and said to Mu Yang,

"This is the good friend I ntioned earlier—Yaojun."

"Yaojun, this is our new friend, Mu Yang."

Lingyuan turned her head away.

"Hmph. I haven't acknowledged him as a friend yet."

Yaojun clearly knew Lingyuan's temperant.

Instead of calling out her sharp tongue,

she slithered down from the tree,

first coiling around Mu Yang's arm,

then his neck.

"Your aura… doesn't seem human either."

Mu Yang repeated his explanation.

Sa as before—

he didn't rember much.

Luckily, Yaojun didn't mind.

Like Fujin, she ward up to him quickly.

And so, Mu Yang settled here.

When he closed his eyes to sleep and opened them again,

it wasn't the next morning.

Instead, he had jumped to the next ti node.

Now, the four of them had beco the closest of friends.

While he slept, countless mories of their ti together had filled his mind—

as if he had personally experienced them all.

This simulation was way too damn realistic.

When Mu Yang woke up, he found himself in a small wooden hut.

He had built it himself.

Fujin and the others didn't really understand why,

but Mu Yang's soul was still fundantally human.

If he had to sleep out in the wilderness under the open sky,

there was no way he'd get any rest.

Food wasn't an issue—

he could just absorb energy from his surroundings.

But occasionally, he craved real flavors.

Once this simulation ended, he'd definitely ask Yanxiao to prepare a full-course feast.

Mu Yang stepped out of the hut

and went to hang out with his friends as usual.

He wondered what antics they'd co up with today.

The mont Yaojun saw Mu Yang,

she sighed helplessly. "Those two are at it again."

Mu Yang chuckled. "What's the bet this ti?"

Fujin and Lingyuan loved competing in all sorts of challenges.

Though usually, Fujin was the one playing tricks.

Lingyuan, the silly beast,

always fell for it.

Sotis, she had no choice but to turn to Mu Yang for help.

At first, she'd been reluctant.

But after realizing how much Mu Yang knew,

their relationship grew closer.

Thanks to Mu Yang's advice,

Lingyuan had won against Fujin a few tis.

And now, she was getting overconfident again.

Noticing Mu Yang's arrival,

Lingyuan imdiately called out,

"Mu Yang! Co be the referee!"

"Coming, coming."

Mu Yang walked over with Yaojun.

"What's the challenge today?"

Lingyuan declared with absolute confidence:

"Swimming!"

Mu Yang: ???

A Guardian Lion challenging a Koi to a swimming race?

You've really lost all sense of proportion!
