Genshin Impact: I am the only one who can bring disaster to Teyvat

"Don't come over here!"

Paimon dashed around the living room, dodging the nets that flew out of the traveler's hands, swaying from side to side, showing off his agility, and never forgetting to sneer and mock:

"Why didn't you come to Paimon last night to silence him? Did you have no other options? Humph~ The traveler who bullies the weak and fears the strong is quite self-aware. He knew that Paimon could beat two of you last night!"

"But you are too ungrateful. Although Paimon didn't take advantage of my kindness to cause trouble to you, strictly speaking, it can be said that Paimon let you go..."

"and many more!"

Watching the flying net suddenly turn into three, Paimeng, who was talking nonsense, felt his pupils shrink. The surrounding environment seemed to stagnate at this moment, and only his brain was working at a speed unattainable for ordinary people.

There is one on the left, one on the right, and another in the middle. Now Paimon has to either fly down or up, but the former is something he must not do. If he lowers his altitude, it will only make it easier for the traveler to be arrested.

Look, there is only one choice now...

"That means flying upwards! It hurts~"

Sitting in the net, the traveler carried him to a stool. Paimon covered the redness and swelling caused by hitting the ceiling, his eyes full of tears, and said in a sweet and innocent voice: "Can you change to another ointment? This ointment hurts so much!"

"It's not the ointment that hurts. It's the cotton swab that touched the swollen area when I was applying it." The cotton swab was inserted through the mesh of the net to apply the ointment to Paimeng's redness and swelling, and Ying narrowed her eyes:

"You might as well have let me catch you right from the start, otherwise you wouldn't have to suffer this."

"Humph~ It's absolutely not feasible to entrust your life to the conscience of others. Paimon heard the traveler's plea for mercy last night and accidentally leaked it out..."

"Did you tell anyone?" Ying's voice suddenly rose two notches.

A drop of sweat oozed from his forehead. Paimon waved his hands in panic and retorted loudly: "No! Paimon will never tell the Traveler's scandal to others."

Ying smiled coldly: "Your reaction shows that you have told others about it. It seems that I should throw you into the trash can outside the door. Anyway, you are seriously injured and cannot be cured."

“…Gu~”

Swallowing his saliva, his brain really worked at a speed that ordinary people could not reach. Paimon raised his hand and grabbed the traveler's sleeve, saying confidently: "That's because Paimon doesn't think what the traveler did last night was a shameful thing."

"You should be proud of this, Traveler! Going from one incense stick to two is a huge improvement. Sooner or later, you will be able to evolve into an Ultimate Creature with five incense sticks!"

Boldly starting to imagine the limits of the traveler, Paimon said loudly:

"Then the God of Servant Yingsai will definitely not be able to defeat you, the Traveler. You can make him lie down if you want him to, or stand up if you want him to. His begging for mercy will become a little song to liven up the fun!"

"...I can still distinguish between good and bad things, don't try to fool me."

The cotton swab in his hand gently pressed hard, causing Paimeng to grimace in pain. Ying snorted coldly, "Since you already have a wound on your head, I won't bother with you too much this time. If you can't control your mouth next time..."

"Hehehe~"

Ying's smile was meaningful. Paimon read the deep meaning behind it. He hugged his arms and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"You are so cruel!"

"Your chatty mouth won't be scared even if you're not vicious. Come on, get out of the net and eat. Then think about what to do today."

Sitting at the table where breakfast was a little too sparse compared to usual, Ying glanced at the sky outside the window and asked, "I don't really want to go to the Adventurer's Guild to take commissions today. I have to find something else to do...Anin, what are you doing today?"

"Deal with the intelligence sent to you and pick them up at the dock at noon. Ms. Alechino's assistant will arrive today and take them to tour Liyue in the afternoon." Jiuqi Shinobu said with a faint smile:

"In order to avoid the time when Osel broke the seal, Ms. Alecino asked them to delay their journey for a few days."

Ying asked curiously, "Arecino's assistant? The assistants of the Fatui executives are supposed to be ruthless, right?"

"I met those two assistants a few times when I was young. They are kind-hearted and not cruel. Ms. Alechino does not advocate cruel education, so I don't think they are as the traveler said."

"Speaking of which, because the assistant was adopted and raised since childhood, Ms. Alechino is called "father" by them. I hope that travelers will not misunderstand at that time." Jiuqi Shinobu kindly reminded.

"Damn it! I don't think those assistants recognize their stepfather."

The traveler counted the relationship on his fingers, and suddenly his face froze:

"I also want to see what filial piety from my children and grandchildren looks like... Ah Ren, do you think that if I shamelessly let them acknowledge this relationship, will they follow me and become bandits in the mountains?"

So the children and grandchildren you mentioned are not the children and grandchildren I thought of. But now bandits don't use this name anymore. They all pursue elegant names. Otherwise, where would the treasure-stealing group come from? ... Jiuqi sighed.

Apparently, she became a traveler in order to go with her to meet Attorney Arlecino's assistant, hoping that Linnet, who had become increasingly vulnerable in recent years in intelligence, could survive.

◇

"Ka~~"

Kuki's hope finally turned into a fantasy. When Linette heard that the blonde girl in front of her could be considered her stepfather, the smile on her face, which was filled with joy at the upcoming reunion, gradually cracked.

"Are you... an adult?" The sea breeze blew gently, but it couldn't blow away the gray hair. Linnet stared straight at Ying's face, which still had a little baby fat, and asked.

"A genuine 17-year-old beauty who really doesn't seem to have reached adulthood."

Linnet's gaze was noticeable. She took out a mirror and looked at herself. Ying poked at the baby fat on her cheeks. The real touch made her pupils shrink. "I didn't expect that I have gained weight these days!"

How could I have all this extra fat when I was outside and my stomach was growling with hunger...baby fat!

"Looking closely, it seems that Paimon has gained a lot of weight."

Pinching the soft baby fat on his belly, Paimon said worriedly, "No wonder I always feel a little tired when flying recently. It turns out that Phantom Limb is not used to Paimon's weight for a while."

"But it seems rare that Yingzai is not fat. He always looks so delicious when eating, which makes me want to eat a few more bowls. I almost stop eating until my stomach is full every time."

Ying nodded in agreement: "That's true. I always eat more unconsciously. I think it's okay to eat a little more every day, but I didn't expect that I would get fat while eating. The idiot fox is really a nuisance."

Paimon lowered his head and patted his belly, encouragingly: "My lovely phantom limb, you have to work harder! Use your evolutionary skills and quickly adapt to my weight."

Ying rubbed her face. "It seems I have to do more commissions tomorrow to lose weight. ... Ah - my dear daughter, why do you look so gray? You look like a dead tree that has been exposed to the sun all summer and is about to crack without any water."

She held Linnet's hand lovingly.

"Alas~ I know you can't accept the fact that you suddenly have a stepfather, but it's a foregone conclusion. You have to accept it even if you don't want to. But don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."

Ying promised solemnly: "I will give you 20% of the looted things in the future. Your status in the village is only below me and Paimeng. You can command the other children and grandchildren at will and rob whoever you want!"

"Then can I... No! Miss Ying, please respect yourself. There is only one "father" in the Hearth House." Linnet said coldly, taking a step back warily and rejecting the traveler's invitation to go up the mountain.

"Don't be so shy. I understand your shyness. After all, we haven't gotten along well yet. But when we get along for a while, I think you will understand my strengths and will sincerely want to call me father."

Ying gently patted Linnet's shoulder and suddenly changed the subject:

"By the way, who are those two over there? When I introduced myself earlier, they were quietly backing away, as if they sensed danger. Now they're almost back on the boat. How rude."

"My elder and younger brothers, Linny and Femini."

Linnet gritted her teeth.

I also wanted to step back impolitely.

"Oh~ Turns out they are two of my good grandchildren!"
