In Genshin Impact, why are all the characters I play NPCs?

He then calmed down.

Only a very small number of people know about this, so the possibility of a leak has been ruled out.

So, is the other party really the core?

But what a joke!

What they want to create is at best a false god, yet they want to use a character who is no less than a true god as the core.

Is this some new joke of the year?

Xu Guang stepped forward and patted the Great Sage on the shoulder: "You don't need to think so much. Just know that what happened before was a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, can we have a proper talk?"

The Great Sage: "...Alright."

Half an hour ago, while the Great Sage was still arguing with the Doctor, Xu Guang was looking for a suitable owner in Mondstadt.

After all, he can't keep that thing he's holding by his side forever.

Xu Guang glanced down at Du Lin, who was armed as a black dog, and felt somewhat helpless.

He wondered if things would have been much less troublesome if he had simply killed the other party back then.

Dulin sensed the murderous aura and immediately ran over, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue.

This did not evoke any of Xu Guang's few acts of pity, but instead reminded the other party of something.

Tonight I can find someone to do some cosplay; kemonomimi (animal-eared girls) would be quite nice.

Seeing that the other party ignored him, Dulin worked even harder.

It had no choice; its life and death were now in someone else's hands. It was already lucky that it ended up like this.

Heaven knows how desperate it felt when it saw the man in front of it come into the cave in the snow mountain, shatter the seal with one slap, and then slam it to the ground with a second slap.

That is an existence that is absolutely impossible to resist.

It has resigned itself to its fate; better to live a miserable life than to die.

Now it senses murderous intent again.

No, did it do something?

It's not good to always be fighting and killing.

Xu Guang sighed when he saw Du Lin's appearance.

Although this little thing hasn't done anything decent in the past, it's still his pet now, so let's give it a chance.

The question is, who would be the best person to adopt it?

Suddenly, a suitable candidate popped into his mind.

What young girl in Mondstadt, while lacking a sense of security, also has the means to own a dog?

For example, there are many bones in the house.

That made it clear.

Go find some sugar.

It just so happens that this little lonely person likes to go out into the wild to find animal skeletons whenever he has free time. Although he is under protection, if something were to happen to him, it would still have a significant impact on his mental health.

With that thought in mind, Xu Guang set off.

However, he soon saw two familiar faces: Wendy and Klee.

Looking at the drunkard with the child, Xu Guang was somewhat puzzled.

When did Jean become so comfortable entrusting Klee to an alcoholic, without fearing she'd be led astray?

Thinking about it, Xu Guang walked over, intending to ask what was going on.

Wendy was looking around, making sure no one was watching, and was about to take out the bottle to smell it when she suddenly felt the surroundings darken.

She quickly turned around, looked at the person behind her, and her face immediately turned pale.

"You...you...how did you get here?!"

Xu Guang pointed to the wine bottle in his hand, then to Ke Li who was chatting with the florist, and gave her a friendly smile.

"You might as well answer me: why did you bring Klee out, and why did you even dare to drink?"

Wendy sensed a hint of distrust in the other person's words and silently complained to herself.

How dare you say that about me!

I may enjoy drinking, but I'm a first-rate storyteller. So what if I take care of kids?

And He didn't drink it, He just intended to smell it.

Besides, Xu Guang, you're always carrying other people's legs to sprint, so why are you criticizing her?

However, this is definitely something that cannot be said.

What if the other party smirks and corrupts Him?

Thinking about this, Wendy sincerely thanked her past self.

At that time, He was still a wind spirit, without gender. When He transformed, He just wanted to become the person who had the deepest influence on Him.

If it weren't for that decision, He might still be doomed.

Chapter 330: Children Don't Understand Normalcy

"What is Lord Barbatos thinking about? He's so engrossed that he can't even hear what I'm saying."

Xu Guang smiled, but Wendy felt that smile was full of threat.

Because the other party rarely calls Him by His real name anymore.

Not daring to delay any longer, Wendy truthfully explained the whole story.

Actually, it was nothing. It wasn't that He was taking care of the child; rather, the child found Him. He was just about to leave when He encountered the child, who had secretly stayed behind. Looking at Klee's pitiful appearance, He couldn't bring himself to refuse.

So He agreed to play with the other for a while, but there were some rules, such as He would not take the other away from Mondstadt.

Xu Guang nodded. That made sense. But the drunkard was just bored. He even agreed to play with the kids. It was obvious that he had too little work. His poor Qin was probably still in the office, overwhelmed with work.

After flicking the drunkard on the forehead, Xu Guang said, "You'd be better off using this free time to deal with some work. What kind of talk is this?"

Wendy rubbed her forehead, muttering, "It was those knights who said they wanted to manage Mondstadt themselves, how can you blame me? And what's wrong with you today, you look like a mother hen."

Xu Guang heard this, glanced at it, and said nothing.

Wendy immediately became as docile as a chicken, not daring to utter a single word.

Xu Guang sighed. He had been in a good mood lately, and the people he wanted to woo were basically all in his plans without any deviations.

If things hadn't gone wrong on Sumeru's side, he wouldn't be here at all; he would still be helping Fischl stretch his muscles in his dream.

However, after seeing Wendy, he had some new thoughts.

"Hey, you drunkard, don't you have anything better to do these days?"

Upon hearing this, Wendy activated her anti-glare radar.

Whenever the other party says this, it's never a good thing. For example, during the last snow mountain incident, he stayed in that godforsaken place for more than a month!

He's not like that old man from Liyue who can sit still.

Let's put it this way: without wine and with no one to talk to, that month was even more unbearable than when I rebelled against Feng Jun.

He was almost driven crazy by the suffocation.

Come again now?

Just as she was about to refuse, she saw the other person's dark eyes. Wendy swallowed and forced a stiff smile: "Of course I have time. What do you need?"

Faced with this guy, he could only follow his heart; there was no way to deal with him. He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he might even ruin his reputation.

Let's leave this old man alone. These days, he just tells stories and drinks, looking every bit the retired man.

He was planning to continue living like this, so why do you have to keep harping on him?

Xu Guang saw his concerns and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. I plan to give this thing to Sugar so she can raise it. You just need to keep an eye on it for me."

Wendy felt a little relieved after hearing this.

It certainly doesn't sound complicated.

But what is this guy thinking? It's just a dog, how could he possibly raise it to death?

Wendy glanced at it out of the corner of her eye, but suddenly frowned, feeling that something was not right.

Is it just an illusion?

He simply turned around, squatted down, and carefully examined him for a long time.

Then his eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

"This thing..."

Xu Guang knew the other person had figured it out, so he simply raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling them not to say anything inappropriate.

Then step forward, hook your arm around the other person's neck, and explain in a low voice.

"You don't know, I found this thing on the mountain. I thought it was still useful, so I decided to give it to Sugar to raise, so it can also protect her safety."

Wendy's expression was strange.

You're kidding me, aren't you? You want to keep an evil dragon as a pet and have it protect other people's safety?

Although Wendy isn't involved much these days, she's still a god of Mondstadt, and how could she possibly agree to something so extremely dangerous?

It's important to know that Dvalin's transformation into Stormterror was also related to the other party; that battle back then resulted in countless deaths and injuries.

What's the difference between what you're saying and leaving a lit bomb at home?

Xu Guang sighed: "I know you don't want to, that's normal, it's a small problem..."

Wendy paused for a moment, looking at the other person with suspicion.

Why is this guy acting so human today?

Then He heard what was said before He had a chance to say it.

"Fine, I'll just leave it to you to raise. I really don't have time here. Come and close the gate and let Dulin out!"

Wendy was startled by these words and immediately calmed down, quickly saying...

"Actually, this isn't something that can't be discussed, you understand?"

Xu Guang nodded in satisfaction.

He wasn't stupid; of course he understood that Dulin was being so obedient because he was afraid of him. So he pointed to the leather collar around the other man's neck and explained calmly.

"See this thing? If he attacks someone I marked, this thing will immediately obliterate him, leaving not even ashes."

Wendy hummed in agreement, having figured it out.

"Then what do you need me for?"

"It's always better to be prepared."

While they were talking, Klee had already finished chatting with the florist and even won a chrysanthemum with her cuteness.

Just as Klee was about to give this to Wendy as payment for keeping her company, she turned around and saw a familiar face.

"Brother Xu Guang!"

After giving his instructions, Xu Guang looked over and responded enthusiastically, but his words made the little girl feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Klee, you didn't sneak out, did you?"

Klee remembered something: since the other party was so close to Jean, they might betray her when she sneaked out, and then she would get another week of confinement as a "gift".

I don't want that kind of thing!

But it's too late to say anything now; the other person must have seen me.

Klee, quick-witted as ever, pretended to be calm and said, "No, I just came out. Jean knows that too!"

Xu Guang narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "So that's how it is. I misunderstood you. I'm really sorry."

Klee breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that she had gotten away with it.

Wendy gave an awkward laugh.
