Chapter 240

~6 min read 1,126 words

Ganyu stopped, panting heavily.

Across from her stood Su Bai, who had just put away his flute.

"You have arrived."

Su Bai smiled and stood up.

Although he still looked exactly like the old Ah Shi.

But Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe knew that Ah Shi would never play "Three People's Time."

The person before them was indeed the Su Bai they had longed for day and night.

Amidst her excitement, Ganyu also noticed Istaloth beside Su Bai.

Seeing the other party preparing something, a bad feeling suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.

Seeing Shenhe felt the same thought arise and couldn't help but blurt out:

"Since Senior Brother you have returned, where are you going again?"

"To resolve the source of the curse." A smile always hung on Su Bai's face.

But when he looked at Seeing Shenhe, his face was full of heartache and apology.

"I'm sorry, Seeing Shenhe..."

Seeing Shenhe was stunned.

She didn't understand why Su Bai was apologizing to her.

Moreover, the one who should apologize should be herself.

Perhaps, perhaps it was because of her own loneliness and isolation that...

"Although I am going to save the world this time, it Seems impossible to grant you the removal of the loneliness and isolation breath on your body."

"I..."

"What does that mean?" Seeing Shenhe asked, somewhat hysterically.

At this moment, she didn't care at all about the loneliness and isolation breath within her body.

But the meaning in Su Bai's words seemed to imply that this departure would mean never returning.

Seeing Shenhe panicked.

She seemed to have even forgotten that she was currently afflicted by a curse.

Struggling as if trying to break free, she wanted to get down from Ganyu.

At this time, Istaloth also seemed to be ready.

A strong, dazzling light shot out from the crystal ball in her hand.

In the dilated pupils of Seeing Shenhe and Ganyu.

The two slowly walked into the light.

Su Bai paused, turned back, and smiled: "Sorry, this time I met you just to say goodbye."

"I can never return to your side again."

"But even without my existence, you must live well in the new world."

The light grew brighter and brighter.

Ganyu had already moved, carrying Seeing Shenhe on her back and running toward the light.

"I have so, so many things I want to tell you, but unfortunately there is no time."

"But, being able to be your senior brother and junior brother, I am very happy..."

Just as Ganyu was about to charge into the light, the light shot straight up into the sky.

The next second, Su Bai and Istaloth disappeared before the stunned pair.

Facing such a scene.

The live stream audience fell completely silent.

The three gathered once more, and Su Bai was as if reciting his last words.

So many, so many things he wanted to tell Ganyu and Seeing Shenhe, but a thousand words could only be condensed into one sentence.

To have met you in this life is truly happy.

Fortunately, the scene quickly shifted to six hundred years ago.

The gloomy crimson sky reflected over the entire Teyvat land.

Dense monsters falling from the sky made one involuntarily shudder.

And there, those two standing high in the sky, an unusually conspicuous man and woman.

The goddess had wings on her back, and her absolutely beautiful face gave a strange, seductive feeling.

And that man, however, was a middle-aged to elderly figure with white hair.

Su Bai: "Oh? So this is the Western Demon General? The appearance is actually so seductive."

Yuan Shang: "Uh, Su Ye, you have a taste for this?"

Cloud Retainer: "I think he was just awkwardly silenced by our silence at the Wanmin Restaurant."

Su Bai: "Don't all be silent, this will really make me very awkward."

Zhong Li: "Uh, the timing for me to treat everyone to a meal seems inappropriate."

Venti: "You really don't know how to pick the right moment."

Azhdaha: "So those are monsters descending from another world? They feel different from those in Teyvat. Why do I feel there are creatures similar to me?"

Dvalin: "This... does that mean the elemental dragons in our Teyvat are merely simple monsters in their world?"

Dvalin: "I saw creatures larger than my own size; at least they could be captains or something."

Osial: "603 No, they are completely just monsters like Shi Laimu."

Eula: "Huh? Dvalin is only at the simple monster level? Then what about Osial, he's a demon god."

Osial: "I don't know, but I feel like there are monsters out there bigger than me. That should be enough to be captain, right?"

Tianquan Ningguang: "(Staring blankly · Mo Na)"

Mo Na: "Uh..."

Skirk: "No way, no way, so the monsters that the corrupted Su Bai was talking about..."

Rhinedottir: "I suppose he means the kind from another world."

Lumine: "My lord took care of them all with a single sword?"

Furina: "My lord is mighty."

Focalors: "So gentle, yet so powerful, and so handsome too — impossible not to be smitten."

Buer: "And he understands music too. That flute piece left me in tears."

Ganyu: "(Roaring · Dragon of Liyue) Since it was six hundred years ago, I took part in that war too. I must bring my junior brother home."

Seeing Shenhe: "Go for it, Senior Sister Ganyu."

Zhong Li: "Sigh..."

Dragon of Liyue: "What are you sighing about, Morax? You're the Geo Archon of Liyue. Surely you can protect a weakened Su Bai, right?"

Zhong Li: "Huh? Even though Su Bai six hundred years from now has lost his divine weapon, I don't think I can stop him."

Dragon of Liyue: "Sigh, I'm truly disappointed."

Venti: "Look, they're here. Su Bai and Istaroth have already appeared on the ridge of the battlefield. Old Su's gaze..."

Diluc: "... is observing himself in the sky."

【Upon the ridge.】

【Su Bai stared fixedly at the black-haired man in white robes floating in the sky.】

【In that battle, he ended the fight with a single sword strike.】

【It didn't leave too deep impression.】

【But white robes were the most colorful garments he ever wore.】

【Even from behind, he knew the person opposite had to be himself.】

【Su Bai gazed down at the densely packed monsters below.】

【He looked up at the already torn sky.】

【"Once the light of the Nuwa Stone shines, I'll clear the battlefield with one sword."】

【"When the time comes, I just need to sneak-attack and kill that guy from behind."】

【Su Bai pointed at the black-haired man in the distance.】

【Just as the future corrupted Su Bai had said, after gathering Qi and clearing the disaster with one sword, Su Bai would fall into a period of weakness.】
