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

Xu Guang left Xianyun's place and returned to his cave to briefly check what the two guys were doing.

One was studying immortal techniques, the other was taking a bath.

Oh, taking a bath.

Xu Guang squinted, brought up the screen, and then chuckled.

Inside the hot spring in the cave, Gan Yu hummed a song.

However, her vacation is almost over, as the Seven Stars of Liyue will soon be selected.

She'll be going to work then.

“So annoying…”

Gan Yu submerged her head underwater and exhaled a string of bubbles.

As her secretary, she manages most of Liyue's affairs, so you can imagine the pressure she faces.

If it weren't for the physique of a celestial beast, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

She stirred the water's surface, looked at the hot spring, and her face unconsciously flushed.

Gan Yu recalled the shameful things she and that person had done here last time.

It was clearly her first time, yet that person was so rough.

It made her feel sore and achy the next morning.

"Honestly, I'll definitely give him a good scolding next time! I'll let him know how tough I am!"

Gan Yu fantasized, a smile playing on her lips.

"Then how will you reprimand him?"

Gan Yu thought for a moment and then said hesitantly.

“I’ll tell him that men and women shouldn’t touch each other, and if he does that again, I’ll get angry.”

"Oh, I see. It really has no deterrent effect whatsoever."

Gan Yu sighed, somewhat discouraged.

"But...he's my junior sister's benefactor, so I can't say anything harsh."

"Is that all?"

"Uh-huh?!"

Finally realizing what was happening, Gan Yu turned around and looked at the person sitting next to her, startled: "You...you...why did you come over without making a sound!"

Xu Guang spread his hands, looking completely innocent: "How could that be? You were thinking about something else at the time and didn't hear me."

Gan Yu looked at the other person, gave a weak "oh," and then tried to quietly move away a little.

Clearly, the previous incident left her with considerable psychological trauma.

Because they were in the water, it was inevitable that they would make noise no matter how careful they were. Xu Guang heard it, smiled, and reached out to pull the other person into his arms.

"Why do you seem scared of me? It's been a while since we last met, let me see if you've lost weight."

Gan Yu pouted, but did not resist.

But as the other person's hand wandered over her, she blushed and said, "Wait, checking if I've lost weight shouldn't require touching this kind of place, right?"

"Yes, yes, you don't understand, this is my exclusive technique."

"You... said the same thing last time... um..."

The two were playing around underwater when a voice came from the shore.

"What are you doing?"

It was Shen He's voice.

Gan Yu's mind went blank, and she hurriedly tried to explain.

"me……"

Chapter 247: The Seal

Gan Yu felt as if she had entered some kind of major crisis, because the current scene looked strange no matter how she looked at it.

However, Xu Guang remained calm and composed, waving with one hand free.

"Shen He, you've come at the right time. Come here quickly, your senior sister is being naughty and keeps resisting. Help me hold her down."

Shen He nodded, unbuttoned his sleeves, and prepared to go into the water.

When Gan Yu saw this, she quickly said, "Wait, wait, I didn't! Don't do anything rash!"

Xu Guang chuckled: "It's obvious, you're still holding my hand down, preventing me from continuing."

Gan Yu blushed deeply, but couldn't say it outright.

Where did you put your hands?

She didn't stop me from going in from the outside, and she didn't stop me from going in even a little bit.

Now they want to go deeper and also take away space, how could she possibly agree to that!

Meanwhile, Shen He had already entered the water and obediently swam over to Gan Yu, holding her hands down, as Xu Guang had instructed.

So now the positions are: Shen He at the top, Gan Yu in the middle, and Xu Guang at the bottom.

This posture is somewhat inappropriate.

Gan Yu pleaded with her eyes, hoping her junior sister could understand her meaning.

Unfortunately, Shen He has now become like Xu Guang and cannot be swayed by Gan Yu's petty actions.

Given my current state, I can already foresee what will happen next.

Gan Yu immediately spoke up: "Wait a minute!"

Xu Guang asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"I think I can still save myself!"

Gan Yu's gaze was firm, as if she had thought of a good idea, while Xu Guang quietly looked at the status bar above the other's head.

Smile.

"explain."

Gan Yu coughed slightly: "Actually, I think my junior sister has more personal charm than me. How about we gang up on her together? What do you say?"

Xu Guang sneered: "Are you stupid? You're all mine, why do you have to decide who came first? Shen He, make your move!"

Shen He's cool and aloof face remained expressionless; he simply nodded silently.

"wait a minute!"

Gan Yu cried out in despair.

……

On a bustling street, a young man was holding hands with two very attractive young women, drawing envious glances from passersby.

Xu Guang held a string of candied hawthorns in his hand and fed them to Shen He.

"Would you like this?"

Shen He nodded and replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he seemed to realize it wasn't quite right, so he added another sentence.

"I'll eat anything you give me."

Xu Guang smiled and squinted his eyes.

So if some people care about you, they will definitely make changes.

However, Gan Yu, who was behind the two, was not so comfortable. She followed with a pained expression and unsteady steps.

She really didn't want to recall what happened at the hot spring; it wasn't a pleasant memory at all.

If I had to describe it, I could only offer a brief overview.

Bathtub, suspended in mid-air, panicked, rolling eyes.

Then, after they finally finished, the other party suddenly had a whimsical idea: to take them out shopping.

Gan Yu herself was not opposed to this.

But nobody said anything about putting a seal on your clothes and stuffing an egg in your mouth before going out!

She can tell you very clearly that when a tunnel is filled with water and then shaken, the only result will be that the entire circumference of the tunnel will be seeped in.

It's really tough.

But Xu Guang insisted on doing it this way.

There was nothing she could do.

All I can say is, these outsiders' customs are so strange! Who would do something like that?!

Xu Guang was chatting with Shen He, but his gaze remained fixed on Gan Yu.

In order to make it easier for the other person to go out with him, he even put a buff on her to reduce her presence, but she herself was unaware of it.

To give an inappropriate example, even if he and Gan Yu were having sex in the street, passersby wouldn't notice at all, and might even actively avoid them.

However, he's not the kind of person from Jiangnan who likes greenery, so there's no need for him to engage in this kind of thing with people he cares about.

Taking two steps back, Xu Guang pinched Gan Yu's cheek: "Why are you so sullen? Cheer up, okay? Or do you not want to come out with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu quickly shook her head: "No, no, it's just that I'm like this..."

Xu Guang waved his hand: "It's nothing, you'll get used to it."

We've been planning to have the other person do some "master-disciple rice bowl" games later, so for now, consider this a desensitization training.

The group enjoyed the delicious food while admiring the bustling Liyue Harbor.

Soon, Xu Guang stopped at a funeral home.

He glanced at the old man inside and the adorable little girl beside him, raised an eyebrow, and stepped inside.

The old man noticed the commotion, looked up at the three people, and asked, "Gentlemen, do you need any help at the Rebirth Hall?"

As a funeral home, most of the customers are elderly people or their children, so it's rare to see people this young. Moreover, these people don't look grief-stricken, which is why Old Hu was curious.

Xu Guang, ever the friendly type, pulled over three chairs, sat down, and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm having any trouble, I'm just tired from walking and wanted to come in and rest. I hope the boss won't mind."

Master Hu laughed heartily: "How could that be? You shouldn't find this place unlucky."

As long as one is human, one will die. All people fear death and regard it as a monstrous flood or beast, even kings and generals.

Therefore, the Hall of Rebirth has always been deserted.

Xu Guang waved his hand, watched as the other person poured him tea, took a sip, and said, "Boss, I see you're not young anymore, and there aren't many staff members in the shop. What are your plans for the future?"

Old Master Hu chuckled and stroked his beard: "That's something I need to think about tomorrow. Living well in the present is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Xu Guang nodded, looking at the little girl who was only five or six years old, and continued, "Of course, that's no problem, but what about your granddaughter?"

Old Master Hu frowned: "What do you mean by this, guest?"

Xu Guang put down his teacup: "It's nothing, I was just curious. What will happen to such a young girl if you pass away someday?"

That's incredibly disrespectful. To say such things to a living old man, it's a miracle the other person didn't kick him out.

However, Old Master Hu had lived a long life and witnessed too many partings and deaths. He always believed in the saying that nothing matters except life and death, so he didn't care. He just waved his hand and said, "Guest, don't worry. I've already thought about what to do for her."

As he spoke, he affectionately picked up Hu Tao and gently stroked the tip of her nose.

Xu Guang smiled and nodded, then placed a wooden plaque on the table.

"That's good. Please accept this. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can use this to contact me."

With that, Xu Guang got up to leave.

His original purpose wasn't to buy walnuts; he just happened to be passing by and thought, since he was already there, he might as well take a look and plant a seed.

Old Master Hu looked at the exquisite wooden plaque, got up to return it, but found that the person had already disappeared.
