Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Chapter 795 Simple and Easy-to-Understand Gameplay

A voice that sounded remarkably like Mameh's rang out beside Xu Ning, along with a unique Melusin.

It looked like a spirit, but its eyes were strangely different, one red and one blue.

"I've always remembered what you and Mom said. Mom told me to feel the world with my heart, and I felt the wind blowing, the warmth of the sun, and the coldness of the water. And with your guidance, I came here. The water here is warm, and it's the most comforting place for me. For the first time, I knew what happiness was..."

Xu Ning's gaze towards the little beauty, Luxin, gradually became complicated.

Everyone says that Rhinedoth is the biggest sinner of Teyvat. Even those who know her think she is too rational and cold. But compared to herself back then, when she only had "that result" in her eyes, she seems too gentle.

Hearing Erinas's words, Xu Ning finally couldn't help but reach out and pat her head. "It's so good that you think this way."

Erinas smiled and said, "...But it took me a long time to realize that I am completely different from the life on this land. Their constitution and brothers and sisters are different. I always thought that the fun games they played with me at sea were terrible for them and caused them a lot of harm."

"In the end, I decided to die here... This makes me both sad and happy. I cherish the life my mother gave me, but I don't want my life to bring them pain... I've been lying here for a long time, and I keep thinking about what your last words to me meant."

Xu Ning still remembered the last words he said to Erinas with a smile, and whispered, "Go bravely, don't be afraid. One whale falls, and all things are born. Your existence has its own meaning."

Erinas said happily, "This is it. One whale falls and all things come to life. I kept thinking and thinking until two little guys came to collect my blood. I heard them talk about a whale that looked a lot like me. I was thinking that maybe I could be like my mother and bring new life to this world, only beautiful and happy little lives."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning silently took a sip of his drink.

He really wanted to tell Erinus that what he said wasn't what he meant at all.

Whether it's Erinus, Dulin, or her brothers, sisters, or cousins, they are indeed all that "whale," but all things are the things of Teyvat, things that have nothing to do with them.

Their fate, from the very beginning, was destined to be death.

However, thinking of the little Melushin children enjoying this beautiful world in Haimo Village and Fontaine, Xu Ning felt the divinity of Erinas for the first time.

“You did a great job. Those little Melusens are very smart and cute, and people love them.”

Erinas grinned broadly. "Right? I used to talk to each of them, teach them to speak, teach them to build little houses, so they could have their own homes, grow up happily, and make everything joyful and lively. Although they can't hear me as much anymore, the child who loves to draw still wants to talk to me; she still calls me Father..."

Xu Ning smiled; he suddenly remembered the servant executor.

Strangely enough, since arriving in Fontainebleau, the two "mother" figures I've met have both been called "father" by their children.

“Erinus…”

"Hmm? What's wrong, Lord Saigong?"

"That person just said they could bring you back to life. Have you ever thought about coming back to life and experiencing this world again?"

Erinus looked on with deep nostalgia, but slowly shook his head.

"I think... no, my heart can't keep beating, otherwise my organs will start moving and the little ones living inside me will suffer. Oh dear, my rare lucid time might not be enough. Lord Saigong, when you leave, please tell that child who loves to draw, 'I really like her paintings, and I'm very proud of her,'"

Xu Ning earnestly agreed, "I will tell her. And Erinas, I promise you that one day in the future, I will make sure you can walk with your head held high on the earth, without worrying about the people around you getting hurt or dying, and be able to feel the beauty and joy of the world with many friends."

Erinas nodded emphatically, “I have always believed in Lord Saigong.”

When Xu Ning's consciousness slowly began to awaken again in his body, the first thing he heard was Mameh saying something to Paimon.

"Seymour and Xu Ning are both fine; they're just busy with their own things. Kong, Paimon, what do you think of the painting I just did? I wasn't very confident because time was a bit tight and we didn't have a canvas here..."

Xu Ning opened his eyes and saw Kong unconsciously scratching his head.

Whenever this guy strikes this pose, it's either because he's embarrassed or he's about to lie; it seems to be both.

"Did you paint this for Brother Xu? I really like it! Your painting is even more handsome than Paimon himself!"

Paimon gave a "cool? What the heck?" look, but quickly added, "Besides amazing, I can't find any other words to describe it. I feel like a completely different person after seeing it. This is what you call an 'artistic baptism'!"

Xu Ning couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xu Ning's awakening naturally delighted Kong and Paimon, but this joy was mostly due to the relief from their worries and also partly to the relief from Mameh's questioning.

"I didn't expect you to be so quick, you even cleared out the wolf pack on the outer perimeter. Alright, take a couple of steps back, I'll dispel this formation."

Kong and Paimon obediently took two steps back.

Xu Ning casually drew out a ball of wine, paused it briefly at his fingertips, and then unfolded it into the shape of an array, which suddenly expanded.

Caterpillar exclaimed "Oh!" in surprise.

Although he knew nothing about formations, he had a keen eye; Xu Ning's formation was clearly identical to the formations that appeared on the ground.

"There's nothing strange about it. I don't understand his formation very well either, after all, I'm not a master of formations, but I can still help increase the power of this formation."

Caterpillar smiled wryly. Based on how Xu Ning's liquor behaved on the gray crystal, wasn't it just like putting a water ring on a fire ring?

It really is a simple and easy-to-understand way to play.
