Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 147: Ch : Children, I’m back
Chapter 147 - Ch 147 : Children, I'm back
At the top of Ningguang's Jade Chamber, there are three personal secretaries.
Their names are Baiwen, Baixiao, and Baishi.
They look quite similar, wear matching uniforms, and even their names are alike.
So how do we tell them apart?
It's simple—just look at their hairstyles.
Baiwen has ear-length short hair and doesn't wear any braids.
Typically, she's the first person you'll meet upon entering the Jade Chamber.
Baixiao also has short hair, but she ties it into two small braids.
She usually paces back and forth in Ningguang's office, seemingly on alert or keeping watch for something...
As for Baishi, her hair is comparatively longer, tied into a high ponytail, and she also wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
She prefers staying alone in a corner, secretly gazing at Ningguang with a dreamy expression, muttering to herself and even drooling a little...
Because, well, Baishi... she's fantasizing about designing different outfits for Ningguang in her mind.
Because she believes that for someone as important and busy as Lady Ningguang, it would be a complete waste of time to worry about things like picking outfits.
That, she sees as her inescapable duty and responsibility as a secretary!
Just thinking about Lady Ningguang's elegant and commanding presence in public, her alluring silhouette while changing clothes, her skin like polished jade fresh out of the bath...
Baishi would start going... hehe... hehe... and then unconsciously drool...
Baishi is, without a doubt, a total fangirl of Ningguang!
Now, why was Su Yuan thinking about all this?
Because right now, after Xingqiu snapped out of his eerie transformation, Su Yuan noticed Baishi's expression go slightly... off, the moment she laid eyes on Ningguang—clothes torn, injured, and bleeding.
And then, Baishi began slowly walking toward Xingqiu...
Su Yuan thought, could it be that Baishi, upon seeing Ningguang wounded with her clothes damaged, was falling into eerie transformation herself?
Was she now bent on taking revenge against the one who hurt Ningguang—Xingqiu?
"You... the one who harmed Lady Ningguang... I will never forgive you!!!"
As Baishi shouted, her hands turned into sharp claws, and she lunged toward Xingqiu's chest to strike!
However, Su Yuan had already noticed something was off and had been prepared.
He quickly unleashed his Cryo and Hydro elemental powers, freezing "Baishi" in place in an instant!
"Ningguang! Go tend to your wounds and change your clothes right away!"
Su Yuan maintained his elemental output at full force, not daring to ease up even slightly, and shouted,
"Baishi has already been corrupted by the eerie force!"
"The condition for her transformation must've been seeing your clothes torn or your injuries!"
Ningguang nodded and immediately went to change clothes.
Seeing the frozen "Baishi," Su Yuan finally let out a small sigh of relief...
Looks like his freezing tactic still worked pretty well on ordinary people whose eerie power wasn't too strong.
After a few minutes, Ningguang had changed into a fresh set of clothes, ensuring there were no visible injuries or any damage to her outfit.
"Su Yuan, you can stop now. It should be fine..." Ningguang said gently.
"Don't actually freeze Baishi to death..."
"Mm." Su Yuan nodded and withdrew his power.
Then, Baiwen and Baixiao helped carry Baishi over to the fireplace to thaw out.
Before long, Baishi regained consciousness...
"Achoo—!"
Baishi sneezed, then quickly looked toward Ningguang with concern and spoke anxiously:
"What just happened?"
"Lady Ningguang? Lady Ningguang, are you alright?!"
"I'm fine," Ningguang said with a gentle smile as she looked at little Baishi.
"You might've caught a bit of a chill. I'll give you a few days off—go see Doctor Baizhu for some medicine and get some good rest at home..."
But then, Ningguang quickly changed her mind.
"Actually, forget it—for now, best not to bother Doctor Baizhu. He's probably very busy these days."
"Everyone! What's the situation? Any casualties?"
Just then, Yelan pushed open the doors to the Jade Chamber and walked in from outside.
She scanned the room.
Although the Jade Chamber was in disarray and everyone bore some injuries, there were thankfully no signs of anyone having died...
"Phew... That's a relief. Looks like I made it in time,"
Yelan let out a breath and spoke.
"So, Yelan, just how did you do it? How did you manage to get to Tai's shop and back in under a minute?"
Su Yuan looked at Yelan, puzzled, and asked.
"The shortest distance between two points is a straight line,"
Yelan replied with a faint smile.
"The Jade Chamber is in the sky, right? I just dove straight down from above and used my Wind Glider to adjust my trajectory—I landed right at Tai's shop in no time," Yelan explained.
"By the way, when I got there, Tai was actually writing a letter to his boss, Pantalone..."
"The content of the letter was rather unsightly, too. He was saying he was being oppressed by Liyue's authorities, that he felt extremely wronged, and that he needed Master Pantalone to stand up for him—he even suggested launching an economic war against Liyue..."
"Does Tai really think Pantalone actually cares about him? He's nothing more than a disposable pawn to that guy..."
So that's how she managed it?
Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully.
So she really did perform a leap of faith straight from the Jade Chamber—that's why she was so fast. *Lol Assasins Creed reference
Wind Gliders really are convenient...
He definitely had to find a way to get one for himself!
At the same time, Su Yuan kept a close eye on Xingqiu.
After all, reading someone else's letter without permission was technically unethical—and un-chivalrous behavior.
Fortunately, Xingqiu didn't seem to be acting strangely...
Noticing Su Yuan's gaze, Xingqiu said, "Don't worry, Su Yuan. I know what you're concerned about, but I'm fine right now..."
"I think the condition for my corruption must be personally witnessing behavior that violates chivalry—not just hearing about it secondhand."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Ningguang spoke up: "In that case, there's no time to waste. Let's head to Guyun Stone Forest immediately to investigate."
The group then followed Ningguang, boarded the floating stone platform, and left the Jade Chamber—returning to Yujing Terrace.
After returning to Yujing Terrace, the group passed through the stone archway and headed toward the Yuehai Pavilion.
To Su Yuan's surprise, he suddenly noticed that Madame Ping seemed to have returned—right at the tea stall where she usually sat...
Madame Ping spotted the group as well, her face beaming with a warm, grandmotherly smile as she waved them over.
"Children, I'm back."
The current Madame Ping gave off a completely different vibe compared to before...
Unfathomable... ethereal... As if that seemingly frail body now held immense, hidden power...
Could it be that Madame Ping had regained her memories and strength?
Or perhaps... the battle at Guyun Stone Forest was already over—and Madame Ping's true self had returned?
