Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

They walked along the mine road for a while longer, absorbing the lives of several Black Serpent Knights.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from behind.

Ye Lan turned her head to look.

Then they saw Ying walk in with a tall man with blond hair, blue eyes, and strange clothes.

"Night Orchid?"

Ying stared at Ye Lan, startled.

Then they saw Lin Jiu'an, who was surrounded by a faint abyssal power.

A hint of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes.

However, after opening her mouth, she ultimately said nothing.

Upon hearing Ying's voice, Lin Jiu'an turned around and smiled, saying, "Ying?"

"Why are you here?"

Ying pursed her lips and honestly replied, "To relax."

"Thinking about this, I happened to run into an old friend, so we came together to see what we could do to resolve the issue."

Daines Reeb gave Lin Jiu'an a strange look after hearing Ying's answer.

He could naturally hear the resentment in Ying's words towards Lin Jiu'an, as if she had been abandoned by a scumbag.

Prince Kaeria, the sister of the leader of the Abyss Order, was seduced and abandoned by a scumbag?

Is this person really that bold?

Seeing Lin Jiu'an's gaze fixed on Daines Reeb, Ying was afraid that Daines Reeb might accidentally provoke this bad guy and get a beating, so she introduced the two of them.

"You should know him, Daines Reb."

"He is Lin Jiu'an, and is now the de facto ruler of Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma."

Then Ying simply looked at Lin Jiu'an and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Jiu'an shook the bits of flesh and blood on his hand.

"I plan to strengthen myself before going to Sumeru."

"and."

"I heard some rats have come to my territory."

"To get rid of the rats."

Ying looked at the Black Serpent Knight on the ground, who had been sucked into an empty shell, with a complicated expression, but said nothing.

Anyway, they're all a bunch of people who've already gone mad. Having lived for over five hundred years, they can no longer be called human. Death is probably the best end for them.

"Just right."

"This mine tunnel is too complicated."

"Since you're here, lead the way."

Seeing this, Daines Reeb didn't say much. He felt that the other party was extremely dangerous and didn't seem like someone easy to get along with. Ying's attitude also seemed to suggest that she didn't want him to talk to Lin Jiu'an any more.

The group walked for a while longer and encountered several more groups of Black Serpent Knights.

Upon arriving at the main hall and witnessing Lin Jiu'an drain the life force and abyssal power of several more Black Serpent Knights, Daines Reeb couldn't help but speak up.

"Can you absorb the abyssal power from them?"

Lin Jiu'an withdrew his hand from the chest of the black snake knight who had been drained of his energy, and turned to look at Daines Reeb.

"how?"

Daines Reeb hasn't said anything yet.

Paimon, who was standing nearby, suddenly remembered something after being reminded, and asked in surprise, "Then can you remove the Abyss Curse from them and restore their and the Hilichurls' sanity?"

"I haven't tried it, but I guess so."

Lin Jiu'an remained noncommittal.

However, before Paimon and Dainsreb could even show any joy...

Lin Jiu'an chuckled and said, "But why should I save them?"

Ying showed a helpless expression.

She knew this was going to happen.

To her relief, no argument broke out. Neither Paimon nor Dainesreb said anything more. The group continued walking for a while and then encountered the knight named Hafdan in the main hall.

"and many more."

Seeing that Lin Jiu'an was about to make a move, Daines Reeb quickly reached out and shouted.

But Lin Jiu'an was too fast.

Almost the next second, the sound of flesh being pierced through flesh rang out, and the knight named Hafdan's chest was pierced by a hand, his strength visibly weakened to almost nothing.

A few seconds later, the opponent turned into an empty shell, lying on the ground with only a suit of armor remaining.

"As expected of the captain."

Feeling the greater power within him than that of the other Black Serpent Knights, Lin Jiu'an narrowed his eyes.

Turning around, he saw Daines Reeb staring at him angrily, and even Ying puffed out her cheeks and clenched her little fists.

"What, are you angry?"

"Want to fight me?"

Lin Jiu'an had a look of eager anticipation on his face.

"I wouldn't mind swallowing you up too."

Looking into Lin Jiu'an's greedy eyes, Daines Reeb suddenly felt as if he were being watched by a terrifying being, and his whole body went cold.

"Lin! Jiu! An!"

Ying couldn't help but shout angrily, "Are you going to swallow me too?!"

Seeing Ying's angry expression, Lin Jiu'an's smile faded a bit, and he rubbed his temples.

The amount of abyssal power he absorbed in a short time made his mind somewhat unclear, turning him into a beast that acted on "instinct."

"What are you angry about?"

Ying was taken aback by the question.

"Is it because of this guy who still seems somewhat rational?"

"That's why I'm quite curious."

"Since you sympathize with them..."

"Then why keep these guys around who have been corrupted by the power of the abyss?"

"Living like neither human nor ghost, barely clinging to life for five hundred years, what good would it do even if we saved them?"

"To put it bluntly, they are just ordinary people."

"Even if the power of the abyss is completely eradicated, how many people will still be able to maintain their sanity after five hundred years of being corrupted by the power of the abyss?"

"But...but that's no reason for you to be so cruel."

Paimon seemed to lack confidence, and his voice grew softer and softer.

Ying was completely stunned.

Dainesreb's anger gradually subsided, and he finally sighed softly. Although this explanation still didn't make sense, he understood that letting these Hilichurls and Black Serpent Riders live was actually torturing them.

just.

How could he possibly bring himself to do it?

Lin Jiu'an continued, "To put it bluntly, I came here to resolve the trouble they caused me, and incidentally, to collect my 'reward'."

"I have no interest in playing any touching pretend games with you or them."

"I have no interest in hearing any of this sane guy's bullshit stories."

"No matter what, they dare to cause trouble on my turf."

"The only outcome is death."

"If you can't stand my behavior, then come and fight me, or leave."

After Lin Jiu'an finished speaking, he looked at Ying and asked, "Are you going to fight me?"

Ying gritted her teeth, her eyes reddening slightly.

"I hate you!"

With that, Ying turned and ran away.

"Huh? Ying?!"

Paimon reached out and pulled her away, watching Yingfei run off into the distance. Paimon then turned and glared angrily at Lin Jiu'an.

"Why are you so blunt, man?"

"So annoying!"

Paimon said angrily, then turned and followed Yingfei away.

"Ying! Wait for me!"

Lin Jiu'an's gaze fell on Daines Reeb, who turned and left almost without hesitation.

"pity."

Lin Jiu'an chuckled.

He also wanted to taste this guy's flavor, which should boost his strength.

Unfortunately, he's not very good at inhaling Firefly and Paimon...

Lin Jiu'an suddenly paused, then rubbed his head and looked at Ye Lan: "Why don't you go first?"

"It's ok."

"Too."

Looking at Ye Lan's burning gaze, Lin Jiu'an also remembered this woman's personality.

Turning around, he continued walking inside, and along the way, whether he saw a Hilichurl or a Black Serpent Knight, he followed the principle of not wasting any, draining all the abyssal power and life force from their bodies.

They stopped only when they reached the purified, inverted "spring water".

Lin Jiu'an floated into the air, enveloped in the wind.

As his hand touched the spring water and felt the faint power within it, Lin Jiu'an immediately activated his abilities.

One minute, three minutes, five minutes...

Lin Jiu'an sucked the spring water for more than half an hour before it dried up completely. Feeling the extra power within his body, Lin Jiu'an revealed a satisfied smile.

"really."

Just then, several footsteps approached the main hall.

Lin Jiu'an looked toward the source of the sound, and a boy dressed similarly to Ying emerged from the darkness.

Two Abyss Singers accompanied them.

"Hey, brother-in-law."

The sudden address startled Kong, and then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.

Why do I suddenly feel like killing this person?

"My name is Kong, not my brother-in-law."

Kong Xian explained first, then said, "I'm sure you know who I am."

“You and I, and Ying, do not belong to this world. We should stand together.”

As he spoke, he extended his hand to Lin Jiu'an: "I would like to invite you to join the Abyss Order."
