Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

Chapter 327: First Experience as a Mercenary

As he spoke, It began to get excited, as if he was getting interested.

Feng Ling seemed to become interested after hearing this, and smiled again, "Really? That's indeed surprising. What about the other little girl? You can't say she's also a monster from another dimension who's lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, like those two?"

Yi Te folded his arms and said, "It's even worse than you said. Don't look at her age. Judging from the bad aura she exudes, her identity is definitely not simple. If I'm not mistaken, she should be the Devil Star among the Seven Stars."

"what?"

When the three heard this, they exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you saying she's from Mengtian's side?" Feng Ling asked loudly. At this moment, Yite quickly covered her mouth and made a small shushing gesture.

In the distance, Zhongli seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look into the alley. The four of them held their breath for a moment, only to see his gilded eyes gleaming faintly in the shadows. But soon, Guizhong's cry brought him back to his senses.

"Zhongli!" She patted Zhongli's shoulder, then put her hands behind her back, tilted her head and smiled, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly distracted?"

Zhongli retracted his gaze and shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, I just saw a few familiar faces, but now it seems that it must have been an illusion."

"Really?" Gui Zhong held his chin in his hand and thought for a while, then put his hands down and smiled, "But compared to this, why don't you come and take a look? The things Perissa picked are all very interesting."

Hearing this, Zhongli took a closer look and saw that Perissa had chosen some strange little gadgets. He couldn't help but lower his head to consider: "Is that so? Sorry, I don't quite understand her preferences, so..."

Gui Zhong smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. For me, as long as you and Perissa are happy, that's the best."

"Are you happy... I see. But let me ask, do you usually come here to shop like this?" Zhongli nodded as if he understood, and then asked again.

After hearing this, Gui Zhong thought carefully and said, "Hmm... Let me think about it. In the past, I would bring Perissa to the city to buy supplies or to make her happy during festivals. But this is the first time I've had to go out like this..."

Zhongli nodded slightly: "That's right, I see."

At this moment, Perissa ran over with a bunch of gadgets in her hands, her eyes sparkling. "Sister Guizhong, Brother Zhongli, do you think these things Perissa picked are good-looking?"

Gui Zhong smiled and touched Perissa's head: "Okay, okay, our Perissa, no matter what she chooses, she will look good."

Perissa handed one of the glass ornaments to Guizhong: "This is for my sister! It's purple, just like Perissa!"

Gui finally took the jewelry, and the light in his silver hair seemed to be brighter: "Okay, thank you Perissa."

Zhongli watched this scene, his lips curling up unconsciously. He reached out and took another small gadget from the little girl. It was a crudely crafted replica that looked very similar to the glass God's Eye on his waist.

"This is for Brother Zhongli and Perissa..." Perissa showed the yellow and purple jade pendant around her neck with a bright and innocent smile. "This is the color of a brother and sister's pendant. This way, brother and sister will never be separated!"

"Really? Perissa is thoughtful." Gui Zhong smiled and said, "Then let's go. Lisa should have somewhere else she wants to go, right?"

With that, the two of them led Perissa away. Only after they were sure they were out of sight did Itt walk out of the alley with confidence.

Feng Ling folded her arms and smiled as she said, "They seem to have a pretty good relationship. And that Perissa doesn't look like a threat, does she?"

Hearing this, Yite simply smiled lightly: "If that's the case, you think they are too simple. Haven't you heard that the Sky Demon Star is actually a calamity body born from the plague? Not only can she create the plague, but she can also eradicate it with her own power, hence the name Sky Demon Star."

Feng Ling stroked her chin in surprise after hearing this: "To think that this is true, it seems you really know a lot about us here."

Etter folded his arms and smiled. "Of course. Don't underestimate a scientist's thirst for knowledge. Okay, let's get down to business first. We'll split up for these three commissions and then reunite at the association."

Kuang Dao waved his hand: "I see, really, you only know how to order people around."

Hong Tao shrugged and spread his hands: "There's nothing I can do. He's the boss and he's the one who's been appointed as the leader."

The two of them each took a reward, but went in different directions. At this moment, only Fengling and Yite were left.

"So you don't really want me to hunt monsters, right? Although I am a wizard, my ability is not enough to create dreams and illusions, and I don't have any means of attack." Feng Ling asked Yite with her hands folded.

Aren’t you very good at the star souls of living creatures? It’s them killing each other... Although he wanted to say that, he thought about it carefully and decided not to.

"I'm naturally aware of your abilities. Leave this final bounty mission to me. You should stay in the city and see if you can find out any relevant information using your methods."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

……

After the four of them parted ways, Feng Ling strolled alone through the streets of Linglang. She tapped the ground with her staff, and a pink mist quietly filled the air. She entered a teahouse, flicking her fingertips, sending a few faint rays of light drifting toward merchants chatting animatedly at a neighboring table...

Outside the city, Kuang Dao was using his own strength to hunt down the demon wolves. Although he said he was unwilling to do so, he felt a sense of comfort in his heart as he completed the task of killing them one by one. He even wiped out other rebellious monsters nearby out of his own will.

"That guy, being the boss, really thinks he can order me around, but..."

With one blow of the sword, the mad demon bear was killed.

Yes, at a time like this, if I were to put on the bamboo hat I once made... what a shame, my ideals and future would no longer exist after I put on this identity.

"In that case, why not take advantage of this opportunity and make a big scene!"

……

On the other side, Hong Tao was in charge of the canyon area, where many blood tigers and shadow leopards were hidden, but for him who possessed the power of "Honghuang", they were not worth mentioning at all.

The last one was It. Unfortunately, when he was looking for his target, he actually ran into the mercenary team he was traveling with.

He followed the team closely and looked around from time to time.

The forest was so quiet that it was frightening. Even the chirping of insects and birds could not be heard.

"Isn't it a little too quiet here?" he said with his arms folded.

The captain of the accompanying mercenary team replied, "You're quite perceptive, but you're also right. This situation is indeed unusual in the wild."
