Genshin Impact: Kurumi is shocked, the God of Light is right beside her.

Chapter 64: Throwing arrows into the ground, Zhongli chokes up.

Commercial street.

"Take a look! Don't miss it! Once you miss it, you won't find another place like it! Our signature grilled tigerfish will bring you an amazing taste sensation and a magical experience for your taste buds."

"Don't listen to his boasting! Come and see our store. We have all kinds of seafood products, and we even offer on-site cooking to provide you with satisfactory and reassuring service."

"Everyone come quick! The annual street pitch-pot competition has officially started. Anyone interested in participating, come register here!"

Ying and Paimon walked down the street, and along the way, they heard a cacophony of announcements from all directions.

It must be said that the streets were exceptionally lively during the holiday.

"Hey, Ying, the atmosphere here is amazing! No wonder it's a commercial capital; the streets and alleys are full of merchants!"

The sounds of the street pitch-pot competition clearly caught Ying's attention.

"Paimon, look! There seems to be some kind of competition going on over there. Shall we go give it a try?"

"Great! Sounds like a pitch-pot competition, right? I've heard that this sport really tests a thrower's accuracy and power! Shall we go and join in the fun?"

After saying that, Paimeng and Ying walked to the competition registration area.

"Welcome, ladies! Are you here to register? I'll register you right away!"

After a while, their basic information was registered.

After paying the registration fee of 100 Mora, Ying and Paimon walked to the competition venue.

"Ladies, welcome to the street pitch-pot competition. Here are your bows and arrows. Simply stand outside the line and throw the arrows into the pot in front of you. That's how you win. We'll rank the participants based on the number of successful throws, and the top ten will receive a mystery prize at the end of the day!"

"What? Only the top ten get a reward?"

Paimon shook his head in frustration.

"Don't worry, the first fifty people will receive a custom-made dragon-shaped bronze statue as a festival souvenir. All other participants can take home a candied hawthorn."

Upon hearing the words "candied hawthorn," Paimon soared even higher.

"Great! There are candied hawthorns! Ying, let me go first!"

After saying that, Paimon eagerly took the bow and arrow from Ying's hand.

"Heh heh, watch this! Hey, I'll throw it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than an arrow flew from Paimon's hand.

Immediately afterwards, the arrow drew a beautiful arc in mid-air.

Amid the expectant gazes of many onlookers, the arrow struck accurately... the open ground behind the pot.

"Ugh, so frustrating! Did I not even get it?!"

Paimon rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"The arrow must have moved on its own; it's not my fault."

As he spoke, Paimon innocently pointed to the bow and arrows on the ground.

"Looks like you're not up to the task either, Paimon... Haha, let me do it!"

Ying patted Paimon on the shoulder.

Immediately, she gripped the bow and arrow tightly, her eyes gleaming with confidence.

"Give it to me, okay!"

As expected, Ying's arrow fell to the ground again.

"Hmph, Ying is no match for me!"

"This young lady is incredibly strong! She actually managed to throw the arrow so hard that it was driven right into the ground."

A bystander exclaimed in surprise.

"what?"

Hearing his praise, Ying subconsciously tilted her head to take a look.

Good heavens, the arrow struck the soil between the stone bricks perfectly, without missing a single spot.

Paimon, who flew high, naturally saw it too.

"Hmm... well, okay, Ying is still a little better than me..."

Liyue, the Hall of Rebirth.

"Morax, come and sit down."

Xunfeng waved to Zhongli.

"What's the matter?"

After Zhongli sat down, she looked at Xunfeng with a dignified air.

"Hu Tao went out to buy New Year's goods. Anyway, we're bored and have nothing to do, so let's chat for a while."

"I'd be happy to oblige."

"Morax, can you tell me what happened in Teyvat during the thousands of years I was gone...?"

Seeing that Zhongli had agreed, Xunfeng immediately began to inquire about it out of curiosity.

"Well...it's a long story..."

"Then let's get to the point!"

"For thousands of years, I have been waiting for your return. After you disappeared, the laws of nature completely ruled the entire continent of Teyvat. I have been constantly honing myself and improving myself along the way, and finally survived the war between the demon gods and became the Geo Archon. Fortunately, you did not break your promise and returned to Teyvat. All my efforts and perseverance... were not in vain."

After saying this, Zhongli choked up for a rare moment.

"Morax...you've really worked hard all these years."

Xunfeng sighed and gently patted Zhongli's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"It's alright, I've always considered you my elder brother. I have no regrets about seeing you again."

After speaking, Zhongli kept a tense expression and tried her best to control her emotions.

It's unimaginable how excited Zhongli must have been when he sensed Xunfeng's appearance.

As Zhongli lingered beside the unconscious Xunfeng, she wanted countless times to wake him up and tell him how much she missed him.

He wanted to ask countless times where Xunfeng had gone.

But... he dared not, and could not, do it.

Even though thousands of years of experience had hardened his heart to an unbreakable state, his emotions could not help but fluctuate.

For the sake of the plan and promise Xunfeng made to him before leaving thousands of years ago, he must silently accept reality and not disrupt the plan.

"Thousands of years ago, before you disappeared, you left behind only a plan and promised that you would return one day. At that time, you warned me not to tell the plan to you when you had not fully recovered."

"I have been waiting for you to fulfill your request. In order to reduce the wear and tear on my memories, I had no choice but to give up my position as the Rock God, so that I would not forget the secret hidden in my heart."

"Okay, okay, I know you've been wronged. I'm back now, don't worry, I won't leave again, never again."

"really?"

Zhongli looked at Xunfeng hesitantly.

"real."

Seeing Xun Feng's serious expression, Zhong Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, then I can rest assured."

"Xunfeng, come here quickly! Help me see if the lanterns I bought are pretty?"

Before the two could continue their conversation, they were interrupted by Hu Tao's voice.

"coming!"

Outside the Hall of Rebirth.

"That's right. This lantern has distinct lines and a bright red color. Overall, it has a strong meaning of reunion."

"I'm just asking if it looks good! How can you give it such a high-level evaluation?!"

Hu Tao was greatly shocked.

High emotional intelligence: It has a strong connotation of family reunion.

Low emotional intelligence: as round and cuddly as a ball.

"There's nothing we can do about it, it's just how we are."

After saying that, Xun Feng helplessly shrugged.

"Stop being so narcissistic! Could you help me hang the lantern next to the signboard by the door? This master isn't tall enough..."

After saying that, Hu Tao awkwardly touched her nose and then looked at Xun Feng pitifully.
