Genshin Impact, I, Aradaki Ichito, don’t want to be a funny guy!

Chapter 501 Reunion with Di Yin

"Burp~ I'm full."

Araki Ichito let out a burp, patted his flat stomach, and noticed that the plates beside him were piled up like a small mountain.

“Even if you’re still not full, we don’t have any extra ingredients here,” Liu Yun said quietly.

"Hehe, sorry, for me, replenishing my energy is a real luxury."

Ararataki Ichidou laughed heartily.

But then he changed the subject, "Well, I can probably guess a little. Besides Xiao, you guys probably have some other things you want me to do."

Li Shui nodded. "Young friend, you are indeed intelligent. Indeed, we do have some questions, but don't worry. We just want to know about the great battle a few days ago and your choice. We will certainly not interrogate you."

"Sure, I also have some questions, let's answer each other's questions."

Unsurprisingly, Risui readily agreed.

"can."

"My first question is, how long was I unconscious?"

Araki Ichito looked up at the rising sun and asked a question.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun replied, "Until just now, you were unconscious for more than three days. Xiao woke up a day earlier than you, and his injuries have just healed."

"Yes, within my expected timeframe."

Araki Kazuto nodded. "Then it's your turn next. What would you like to ask me?"

"Before we go, please allow us to express our gratitude for your help."

The Golden Eyes of the True Lord of the Moon-Cut Sun Flickered slightly, his tone carrying friendliness and a hint of admiration, “Young friend, your heroic deeds and determination in the battle of Chenyu Valley are worthy of our respect. Countless people were saved because of your courageous act. On this point, we express our gratitude to you on behalf of those people.”

Araki Kazuto forced a stiff smile. "Heh, to be honest, I'm tired of this familiar opening line. Why does everyone want me to be the good guy? Forget about gratitude, let's get back to the main topic."

Seeing that the other party was very resistant to her thanks, Xiaoyue was obviously taken aback for a moment, "...Okay, fine."

"Araki Ichito, what we want to ask is, what is the purpose of your visit?"

Liu Yun nodded slightly. "It is undeniable that you saved Shenyu Valley, but the dangerous aura emanating from you makes us uneasy. As the guardians of Liyue, we earnestly wish to know your choice."

"What's your purpose in coming here?"

Araki Ichito suddenly chuckled, "The answer is actually quite simple. I chose to come to Liyue in order to become stronger."

"Become stronger?" said Xiaoyue.

Araki Kazuto nodded. "That's right. Fighting against powerful enemies, facing death in desperate situations, and breaking through my own limits time and time again—that's what I want to do."

Xiao didn't speak, but after a brief examination, he found out the answer.

This guy's aura is even stronger than before the big battle.

By squeezing out the body's potential through this life-or-death method, and then miraculously completing one evolution after another, it's truly...

“This is crazy…”

Liu Yun sighed, his tone complex.

Araki Ichito said softly, "The truth is, I have experienced several battles like this before, but this time the injuries were much more severe."

"Are you really going to keep going through this hellish life?"

Liu Yun was puzzled. She simply couldn't understand why the other person would face all kinds of desperate situations without hesitation. Behind the huge price they paid was not some noble or amazing ideal, but simply the desire to become stronger.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yun changed her approach and asked again, "Could it be that you have an enemy you want to take revenge on, which is why you need power? Or is it because you want to protect the people and things you cherish that you are fighting so desperately?"

"No, that's not the case."

Araki Ichito shook his head, rejecting her conjecture. "True Lord Ryuun, I don't want to gain power for revenge or to protect anyone. It's simply my dream and belief, a light that guides me forward, nothing more."

"If we have to talk about whether there is anyone who seeks revenge, then there is, but that cannot be considered my end point."

"I enjoy the process of becoming stronger, and I feel joy in the resonance between my body and the energy within me with every punch I throw. Even when I am in pain, I will still persevere, just like you protect Liyue."

"I've already decided to keep going, so there's no turning back!"

"Yes, this is my vow to myself."

This is a lunatic.

As soon as the words were spoken, this thought echoed in the minds of all the immortals.

The power in his hands is not a tool or a medium, but the path beneath his feet.

He has no goals, or rather, becoming stronger is his goal.

Without exception, anyone who holds such thoughts is a fanatical madman.

However, what surprised them was that the madman in front of them was an ally who had saved Shenyu Valley just a few days ago.

Li Shui paused for a moment, then decided to end the topic. "Ahem, let's leave this question at that, young friend. It's your turn to ask your question."

Araki Ichito asked directly, "How is Tsutomu?"

"She has been captured."

This time it was Xiao who answered, "After Chi Feng died, Di Yin was also defeated by Ling Yuan and was later captured alive by Liu Yun and the others who came to provide support."

"Because the other party is currently occupying Fu Jin's body, it is impossible to kill it directly. It is currently being imprisoned and is being guarded by Ling Yuan."

"Where is the location?"

“Lingyuan hasn’t stepped out of Liuyun’s cave for the past three days.”

Arataki Ichito reached into his robes and lightly pulled out a small orb of light, its surface shimmering with a golden halo and containing a swimming carp.

"Now, this soul should be returned to its rightful owner."

"There really is such a materialized soul?"

Liu Yun was greatly surprised. In fact, the matter of Di Yin could have been resolved directly without the need for imprisonment.

Di Yin was reborn through possession, but the body she now possesses is nothing more than a shell lurking with evil spirits. The three immortals all believed that the dead cannot be brought back to life, and that she should be sent into the earth's veins, which would also be considered as avenging Fu Jin.

Lingyuan insisted repeatedly, even to the point of pleading, before the three immortals finally relented and waited for Wu Dahai, also known as Huanglong Yidou, to make his judgment after waking up.

Liu Yun led the way, guiding everyone into a new world.

Here, Di Yin knelt on both knees, her body tightly bound by endless golden chains, golden runes flashing on her body, completely blocking her last chance to struggle and escape.

Ling Yuan remained in human form, sitting cross-legged with her two swords beside her. Her expression was neither joyful nor sorrowful, but her clenched fists betrayed her true feelings.

"Lingyuan, haven't your legs gone numb after sitting for three days?"

Ararataki Ichidou jokingly remarked.

Ling Yuan glanced sideways and frowned when she saw that the newcomer was an unfamiliar face. But when her gaze fell on the golden orb in his hand, she almost instinctively blurted out,

"Wu Dahai?"

Araki Kazuto smiled and nodded. "I'm sorry, I haven't shown you my real face all this time, and even my name is fake."

Ling Yuan showed no anger, but urged anxiously, "We'll talk about this later, Fu Jin! Is there any way to save Fu Jin?!"

"Of course there is, trust me, don't worry."

After offering a few words of comfort, Araki Ichito walked towards Tsuneo's direction.
