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

Chapter 12: Night Palace Appears, Kurumi Arrives

"Ying! I'm tired... Let's rest for a while!"

"Paimon, do you get tired of flying?"

Xunfeng walked beside him, chuckling as he teased.

"What do you know? I have a phantom limb, of course I get tired!"

Upon hearing Paimon's request, the perceptive Ying suggested that they find a place to sit down first.

"Hehe, Ying is still the best to me!"

Paimon cheered and made a face at Xunfeng.

"..."

Xunfeng was now even more certain that Paimon's age of three was true.

Forced to compromise, Xunfeng glanced around casually before fixing his gaze on an unremarkable-looking shop, intending to go in and sit down.

Little did he know, he had chosen Inazuma's First Armory! No, it was the First Fireworks Shop—Naganohara Fireworks Shop!

"Xunfeng, are you serious?"

As Ying followed Xunfeng inside, she immediately saw the giant fireworks displayed on top of the counter. Without careful observation, one might even mistake them for real bombs.

"Who's taking a break at the fireworks shop?!"

Upon hearing the lively sounds coming from the doorway, a young girl in the shop happily ran out from the next room.

"Welcome everyone! What type of fireworks would you like to see?"

The girl smiled kindly as she spoke.

"No, no, we've come to the wrong place!"

Paimon, looking tense, started waving his hands repeatedly, trying to leave the shop filled with tension.

After all, she didn't want to become a charcoal Paimon!

"Even if you don't buy fireworks, making friends would be nice! Judging from your clothes, you're probably not locals, right? My name is Xiaogong! It's nice to meet you!"

Xiaogong greeted them familiarly.

Having felt the hospitality of Xiaogong, Xunfeng and the others had no reason to refuse.

Then, Ying reluctantly revealed the truth.

"We were just arriving on our first day and were looking for a hotel, but we couldn't find one after walking around for a long time. We were tired, so we thought we'd find a place to rest for the time being."

After hearing this, Xiao Gong covered his mouth and chuckled repeatedly.

"It seems that not being a local is indeed troublesome! Shall I take you to the hotel?"

"Eh...really? Thank you!"

Upon hearing what Xiaogong said, Paimon's tension vanished instantly.

She thanked him while regretting her earlier thought.

Soon, under Xiaogong's enthusiastic guidance, they checked into an inn and chatted with Xiaogong.

Back to Walnut.

Hu Tao searched every street and alley but couldn't find Xun Feng anywhere.

Feeling powerless, she even sadly believed that Xunfeng was truly gone...

Ignoring her sadness, Hu Tao dragged her exhausted body, which had been traveling for a day and a night, to an inn to rest for a while.

After all, only by conserving physical strength can one have the better mental energy to find Xunfeng.

However, by sheer coincidence, Xunfeng was in the room next to Hu Tao's.

Just as Hu Tao was getting ready to go to sleep, she heard what sounded like a few people chatting next door. Although the voices were not clear, one of them sounded particularly familiar.

That voice... could it be Xun Feng?!

Hu Tao covered her mouth in shock and disbelief.

In an instant, she was wide awake.

Even if it was a misunderstanding, she still had to go and confirm it.

Ironically, Xunfeng lived to the left of Hutao, but she was so exhausted that she forgot which way to go after leaving the house and went to knock on the door on the right.

Surprisingly, the door on the left opened...

"The Hall Master?"

Upon hearing the commotion outside, Xunfeng opened the door and was surprised to find that Hu Tao, who was far away in Liyue, had actually come to Inazuma!

After seeing Xun Feng's face, Hu Tao finally felt relieved and then fainted from exhaustion.

"walnut!"

Seeing Hu Tao about to fall due to loss of balance, Xun Feng quickly stepped in and caught her.

After a rough light perception, Xunfeng found that Hu Tao was not seriously injured; she had simply fainted due to exhaustion.

And so, Hu Tao was carried to the bed by Xun Feng, who then gently covered her with a blanket.

After doing all this, he tiptoed out of the room.

"Phew~ Why is Walnut here too?"

Xunfeng stood at the door, head bowed in confusion.

But Hu Tao's arrival still made him quite happy.

As soon as Xunfeng returned to his room, Paimon and Ying turned their attention to him.

"Xunfeng? Who's outside?"

Paimon was the first to raise a question.

"It's Master Hu Tao."

Xun Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Seeing that it had been a while since they left, Xiaogong quickly got up and prepared to leave.

"Ah... I've been out for so long, Dad'll worry! I'm going back now! You can always come to me if you need anything~"

Watching Xiaogong depart, Xunfeng and the others smiled and said goodbye to her, thanking her again for her help.

"Haha, it was nothing at all!"

After Xiaogong left.

What should we do next?

After getting back to the main topic, Xun Feng's expression suddenly turned serious, and they began to discuss future plans.

Immediately afterwards, Ying put forward her own idea.

"I want to find Thor and ask him about my brother's whereabouts."

"The God of Thor in this world? Very well, I'd like to meet the God of Thor as well."

Then, after the plan was agreed upon, the three of them looked at each other and remained silent.

It's like, if you just sit there and wait, Thor will automatically come to see you.

"Hey! I mean, how could the three of us possibly have a chance to see Thor? Thor is the ruler of Inazuma, he's probably very busy!"

Paimon, who couldn't stand it any longer, quickly broke the brief silence.

at the same time.

Inazuma Castle.

Hmm... I have a feeling that someone is talking about me behind my back?

Ying touched her nose nonchalantly, then continued flipping through the novel featuring Xun Feng as the main character; the novel had already mentioned her.

Huh? Why am I in there?

Although she didn't quite understand, given her kindergarten-level intelligence, she naturally wouldn't dwell on it too much.

All she cared about was whether the novel was good or not, and whether there were enough tricolor dumplings to eat!

However, at that moment, a pink figure walked in, and the pink tail behind her easily revealed her fox identity.
