Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 385 Set sail

“I have a group of younger brothers and sisters, who are also ‘rejected children’... Don’t worry, I know that they are ‘unfinished deals’ between the former servant and Dotole, and have nothing to do with the current Arecino. In fact, Arecino has been investigating for many years whether there are any other children who were overlooked and sent to be experimented on.”

Hearing what Huiyuan said, Tara nodded and replied:

"Yes, that's right... [Father], that's the kind of person she is. I'm sorry, Miss Huiyuan, I kept it from you..."

“It’s alright, I don’t care, I even think it should have been like this a long time ago. If you had just said you were a servant’s subordinate, I wouldn’t have had to worry about the novel every day… Here, tell her what happened today, and I will go to Fontaine later.”

"What? Miss, you're still willing to let me be your novel editor?"

"Why not? Arecino is a great philanthropist, and I like great philanthropists. By the way... this meal..."

Under Huiyuan's frantic hints, Tara understood immediately and quickly said:

"This meal is on me, thank you for still cooperating... If I go back and tell Father that I messed things up, it will definitely... Anyway, thank you!"

"Okay, I'm off then... By the way, you changed the Fatui uniform; it's not very popular with the public."

After saying this, Huiyuan headed to Guyun Pavilion, thinking to himself:

(Nice—I saved money on another meal, and even managed to connect with Arecino by chance. That's great.)

It's fortunate that Tara is "the silly girl from the landlord's family," otherwise she wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, which was caught red-handed by Huiyuan.

Does it stop thinking when it's hungry, and automatically navigate to the nearest food stall after exercising for too long? How cute!

She showed no shock at the fact that she was one of Arecino's subordinates; her eyes were filled with longing for a free meal. When did Huiyuan turn bad?

Back at the martial arts arena, the competition has reached the finals, and unsurprisingly, the two contestants are Marta and Yingmei.

Huiyuan came to Wanye's side and chatted with him while watching the game.

Man'yō saw Kōen approach and initiated a conversation, saying:

"General, how do you think this match will unfold?"

"Hmm... I don't know, but I think Ying will win, because she is Ying."

After Huiyuan told that lame joke, the air fell silent for several seconds...

Seeing that Wan Ye did not respond for a long time, Hui Yuan explained the joke.

"Isn't it funny? You might not have understood the joke. Ying and Ying are homophones, which makes people laugh."

Several more seconds passed...

It seemed that Wan Ye, who had been frozen by the dual elements of ice and water, had finally broken free of his restraints. He warmed himself up before slowly speaking.

"It's a pretty funny joke, but... it's a bit lame."

Returning our attention to the arena, the battle has clearly entered a heated phase.

Martha's movements when using the Free-flowing Sword are incredibly graceful and unpredictable.

Yingmei, wielding the bladeless sword, uses a very simple and unadorned swordsmanship. Relying entirely on her strength and steady progress, she fought Marta to a standstill.

Due to the restrictions of the competition rules, the two could not use elemental power, and from the beginning they did not intend to fight seriously with their full strength, but were just putting on a show.

They appeared to be evenly matched, but in reality, neither of them put in much effort.

From a purely rational perspective, Marta's current physical strength is less than half that of Ying. If she continues to fight like this, she will eventually lose due to exhaustion.

If it were a serious match, Ying would still win...

Ultimately, with both sides delivering flawless performances, Yingmei won the competition.

Under the spotlight, Ying was crowned with the champion's medal and cheered with Paimon.

Upon seeing this, Huiyuan immediately felt something was missing and said:

"Strange...where is that petty thief?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Ye asked:

"A petty thief? General, you mean...?"

"Ah, I did some calculations and predicted that someone would steal the Eye of God, but he hasn't appeared yet."

"I see, fortune telling... General, you have such skill, that's truly remarkable. Indeed, not long ago a petty thief appeared, but the traveler and I subdued him together."

"Is that so? Then it's alright... By the way, did Marta tell you that she's going to Inazuma?"

"I've heard about it. She said, General, you're going to Inazuma too?"

"Correct."

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea... As you know, Inazuma is in the midst of internal strife."

"Don't worry about that, I have a way."

After saying that, Huiyuan bid farewell to Wanye.

After the surrounding audience had all left, Yingmei and Paimon wiped the sweat from their brows.

"I expected people to ask for autographs, but I didn't expect so many!"

Just as Paimon was about to complain, Huiyuan walked over.

Seeing this, Paimon said:

"Huiyuan, where did you go? The match just now was so exciting, didn't you see it?"

"Of course I saw it. I was with Manye just now."

"Wait, why do I smell the aroma of Central Plains Offal Soup... You actually ate it behind our backs!"

"Ah...sorry, I forgot to bring you food...It's okay, we'll head back to Liyue Harbor now, Tara should still be eating at that stall. Let's go, quick, back to there—"

In this way, Huiyuan saved another sum of Mora, while Tara was left speechless with despair.

Family members, who would go back after eating and drinking for free and bringing a whole bunch of foodies with them?

Time quickly passed, and the day of the Southern Cross fleet's departure arrived...

Upon being informed by the messenger, Huiyuan switched to the new skin Charon and arrived at the port with Marta, who was dressed as an Inazuma.

After boarding the Death Star, the two came to stand before Hokuto.

When Beidou saw these two complete strangers, he instantly knew who they were.

"If Ningguang hadn't told me that you guys are good at disguises, I really wouldn't have recognized you."

Huiyuan smiled and replied:

"Just a minor spell, hahaha. By the way, where is Wanye?"

"He's enjoying the sea breeze on the dragon head at the bow. By the way, your room is number 103. Sorry, it's a bit cramped, and there aren't many rooms on the ship, so you'll have to squeeze in."

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan scratched his head.

Marta was overjoyed upon hearing this, and the next second she clung to Huiyuan, wagging her tail excitedly:

"It's okay~ My sister and I can sleep in the same bed, right?"

"Oh, don't worry, there are two beds in the room."

Upon hearing Beidou's words, Marta's ears drooped instantly, and she was speechless as she mentally complained.

(Damn it, I still wanted to sleep while hugging my brother's fox tail... I guess I'll have to think of a way.)

Soon after, Ying and Paimon also arrived on the ship.

At the call of the Big Dipper, the crew began their work: the two large anchors, each weighing a ton, were lowered, the huge oars on the sides began to run, and the fleet set sail.
