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

He didn't care whether it was a malevolent dragon that harmed the world; if it was useful to him, then he could keep it.

He kept the servant's foster mother as a pet, though he hadn't been able to pamper her lately. He would take her out for a walk when the opportunity arose, and bring the servant along.

Hmm, an unconventional mother-daughter pairing, quite interesting.

Dulin hesitated after hearing what Xu Guang said, because the implication was that it should be killed.

What's the difference between that and being killed right now?

Xu Guang noticed its concerns and comforted it, saying, "You can refuse now, but what I said before still applies."

Dulin understood exactly what the other person meant.

That means leaving not even ashes behind.

On one hand, there's the option to die now, and on the other hand, to die later. Does it really have a choice?

But if it doesn't agree, it doesn't even have the right to consider it.

So he could only nod in agreement, feeling wronged.

Seeing that things were settled here, Xu Guang raised his hand and arranged the cave to make it look more like a dragon's lair before returning.

His purpose in coming here was to ensure that there would be no unexpected problems with the subsequent operations.

It's better for the dragon to cooperate a bit when the hero fights the dragon, otherwise Fischl will be heartbroken.

He felt more pity for this immature, left-behind girl, and since it didn't stop him from having desires at the time, he let it go.

Xu Guang's consistent principle in doing things is that as long as someone is one of his own, he should try his best to fulfill their wishes.

This child was tricked into defeating himself, the demon king, and then turned into a milk popsicle.

What is a milk popsicle? It's a popsicle with a thin outer layer and the inside filled with milk, completely packed full.

This can be considered compensation to the other party.

Stretching, Xu Guang dispelled his clone and his consciousness returned to his main body.

Holding two soft, fragrant bodies, he smiled happily.

Even for people with depression, if they can enjoy such a scene, the hardest thing is to hold back their laughter.

Seeing that it was almost time, he snapped his fingers to fully restore their strength, and then shook them awake.

"Time to get up and go slay the evil dragon."

Fischl rubbed his sleepy eyes and let out a contented yawn.

She hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time; the last time was when her family was all around.

She felt just as safe and secure nestled in her mother's arms.

She looked at Xu Guang with eyes full of tenderness.

If there's a next time, she'll do it again.

wrong!

If the dragon is defeated, wouldn't they be separated? How can they still be like this then?

Or... should she confess her feelings?

Isn't that how it is in many stories? The prince defeats the dragon and gets together with the princess.

Hehe, she should belong to the prince!

Then it's happily decided!

Xu Guang looked at Xiao Chunyi's inner thoughts and sighed slightly.

Hopefully, when the time comes, this little prince won't say something like he'd rather stab her in the back with a knife than his bull.

He didn't have any objection to the idea; it didn't matter whether he was on top or on the bottom at the time.

After regaining their composure, the two adjusted their mindset and set off.

Arriving outside the dragon's lair, Fischl took a few deep breaths, gazing at the scene within.

Gold and silver treasures were scattered everywhere, along with some skulls. No wonder it was a terrifying dragon!

She was determined to defeat him and then marry the pastor!

After giving herself a little pep talk, Fischl went in first as always.

Sensing someone approaching, Dulin cleared his throat and roared angrily, "Foolish adventurers, are you here to steal my treasure too?!"

However, its momentum weakened immediately after seeing Xu Guang at the back of the group, but it still managed to finish its lines.

Fischl raised her head, her eyes sparkling with vibrant colors.

She declared firmly, "Treasure is useless to me; what I want is your life! Die, dragon! I will save this world!!"

Chapter 327: The Curtain Should Fall on the Stage

Dulin listened to these words without any reaction. It cautiously glanced at Xu Guang, as if to ask what to do about such a statement.

Continue or adapt to the situation?

Xu Guang signaled to the other person with his eyes that they didn't need to pay attention and should just do as he instructed.

After receiving the order, Dulin nodded slightly, then continued to roar: "A bunch of insignificant ants, do you think you can defeat me?"

With claws outstretched, the precious treasure was crushed. Dulin spread its wings, its dragon eyes wide open, and dragon breath gathered in its mouth.

Fischl naturally couldn't just watch her opponent unleash their moves. This wasn't some shonen manga with so many rules, where you had to wait for the opponent to use a skill before you could use yours.

What a joke! It's already a miracle that these righteous people didn't team up with the villains.

Are we supposed to wait for the opponent to unleash their skills now?

Unless all the righteous people these days are brainless, no one would do that.

Arrows flew past, turning into countless stars as they fell.

Dulin cried out in pain, a hint of anger in his eyes.

If you're going to die, fine, but to beat someone so badly before you die is just outrageous!

Do you really think he's someone easy to bully?

Then let these guys know just how good its acting skills are.

Playing around is playing around, but with Xu Guang standing there like a giant, even if it wanted to do something, it probably wouldn't succeed. It's better to cooperate obediently and face the painful death that awaits it.

With a roar, an unstoppable dragon breath was unleashed, and purplish-black flames instantly swept over.

Fischl's face paled. As an archer, her specialty was kiting, but how could she possibly dodge such a wide-range attack?

It's important to understand that this attack covered almost the entire area in front of Dulin, and the cave was only so big. Even though Xu Guang had modified it to make it more like a battleground, there was still nowhere good to hide.

It was at this moment that a blond-haired guy stepped forward.

To be honest, the previous traveler was actually slacking off the whole time, because she was just treating this as a game.

The whole "hero fights the dragon" thing is just a trick that guy uses to harass young girls.

But here, at this moment, feeling the threat posed by that **, the traveler chooses to stand up.

Not for any other reason than that she was a traveler, a warm-hearted traveler.

There's a joke that goes like this: if your desire is strong enough, an exclamation mark will appear above your head, and then a blond guy will appear and grant your wish.

It may seem funny, but in fact, when your desire is strong, the traveler will do his best to fulfill your needs, even for just a little reward.

She is different from Sora, who is willing to give up everything for revenge and plans, in Ying's opinion.

How can one stand by and do nothing when someone is in trouble in front of them?

She may not be a hero, but she would never back down if given the chance.

Now someone needs her to step up.

Holding a longsword engraved with exquisite runes in one hand and a one-handed shield with a lion's head in the other, the Traveler charged forward, blocking all the sweeping dragon breath. Behind her, Fischl was taken aback at first, then smiled and drew her bow to shoot an arrow.

Dulin was also very pleased to see this scene, and looked at Xu Guang as if seeking praise, as if to say.

So, how was my performance?

Its dragon breath didn't carry any corrupting power; it just looked intimidating. But if you looked closely, you'd find that the temperature wasn't high—it was the kind of temperature that would take some effort to cook a steak to medium-well.

However, it was precisely this kind of attack that successfully ignited the fighting spirit of the two girls.

Xu Guang saw it and nodded with satisfaction.

This is what he wants to see.

What kind of hero is this? And what is that Gouba?

If a murderer can become a hero who saves the world, then his immature and blond-haired friend is definitely more qualified!

Looking over, the two worked together perfectly, withstanding all the attacks while also inflicting heavy damage on Dulin.

Xu Guang watched calmly.

Dulin's attitude is good, so let's give him a chance to survive later.

Only well-behaved animals are qualified to be pets, while those that don't get to eat good food too.

Things like war-induced trampling, dragon fruit, or CPR.

Compared to Xu Guang's complacent attitude, Du Lin was already extremely anxious.

The reason it agreed was because the other party had promised to let it go. Now, with its strength being gradually depleted, it will soon perish.

Why haven't you made a move yet?

Is it really just to watch it get beaten to death?

But Dulin had no other choice. If he could defeat it, things wouldn't have come to this. He could only hold on to his last hope.

Fortunately, Xu Guang usually keeps his promises. Seeing that Du Lin was about to die, he stretched out a finger and pointed it into the air.

Immediately afterwards, tiny, almost imperceptible ripples spread out.

Dulin could naturally sense the fluctuations directed at him, so he relaxed, made a final desperate attempt according to the script, and uttered lines that were extremely cringeworthy.

"I never expected to encounter adventurers like you. Even if I fight with all my might, I can't defeat you. But it doesn't matter. I will use my death to pollute the entire world. You ants are about to witness what true despair is!"

After saying this, Dulin roared to the sky, and a moment later, a dense darkness emanated from its body.

Looking at the darkness, Fischl's expression changed drastically.

Why did she slay the evil dragon?

To prevent the spread of pollution.

But in the current situation, if the other party were to explode, the consequences would be something she could not bear.

What should I do?

Fischl bit her lip, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, don't worry, I still have mine."

The familiar and reassuring voice, and the sight of the hand resting on her head, made Fischl feel a little better, but only a little.

The other party is just a pastor; what can he do in this situation?

Xu Guang shrugged and then waved his hand dismissively.

The light was drawn in, forming cages that locked the darkness in, while a howling wind ruffled the man's clothes.

Black hair turned white, and pupils became dull and cloudy.

Fischl's body trembled as she tried to step forward, but saw the other person turn around and shake their head at her.

Sacrifice a life?

Fischl had thought about it countless times and rehearsed it countless times.

After all, that would be too cool and stylish.

But there's a condition for this: it has to be her who dies. If it's someone else, someone she cares about, then she simply cannot accept it.

The sounds were too chaotic, as if ten thousand demons were roaring in my mind, and my consciousness became somewhat blurred.

Fischl nearly fell.
