Kaeya ultimately failed to strike up a conversation with Jiang Xiaofeng.
Just as Diluc said, he's already waited so long, a little more time won't make a difference...
The party ended quickly.
Ying obediently followed Amber back to her home, and the two girls reminisced for the entire night.
Because Jiang Xiaofeng only erased Ying's memory of having an older brother, her other travel memories remained, so Ying wasn't actually changed much.
The biggest change is in the meaning of travel.
It turned into a simple journey, traveling all over Teyvat, with the ultimate goal of seeing Heavenly Principles instead of finding his brother.
Jiang Xiaofeng then took Anna and Paimon back to the Void Church.
"It'll be soon, almost ready."
After calming his two wives down to sleep, Jiang Xiaofeng went to the top of the Vatican, looked at the complete crescent moon, and murmured to himself.
"In another six months, things should be almost settled with Pucci, and then Ying should go explore Sumeru..."
"There are still six months left. Perhaps, I can take a look at the Three-Body World..."
"Um..."
Jiang Xiaofeng took out his notebook and began recording the rest of the itinerary.
The next day arrived.
Ningguang, Zhongli, Morax, two Electro Archon, Kamisato Ayato, three Electro Archon's familiars, and Nahida, Arama, and Arraja, who were brought by Jiang Xiaofeng.
The people who came were influential figures from the four countries affected by the Black Tide, and they were primarily witnesses.
Witness the fall into the Abyss.
Jiang Xiaofeng sat on the throne, releasing an atmosphere of utter despair.
"Enough with the small talk, I only have one thing to say to you."
Jiang Xiaofeng beckoned Kong to himself.
"In your next life, don't jump so enthusiastically."
Jiang Xiaofeng rose from his throne and landed in the center of the square, tossing a small sun from his hand into the air.
In a blinding flash of light, the Abyss Prince, Kong, was vaporized in a fraction of a second.
As Ying followed Amber and Eula to the snowy mountain, she felt a chill in her heart and quickly covered herself with her cotton coat.
"The snow-capped mountains... are really cold..."
Paimon suddenly appeared beside Ying, nodded solemnly, still feeling lingering fear.
"Fortunately, Ying forgot she had an older brother..."
Jiang Xiaofeng had already conspired with Paimon yesterday not to mention Ying's brother in front of her. Although Jiang Xiaofeng was very confident in his mind control, he couldn't be sure if Ying might regain her memories through some strange event.
In the center of the square, the crowd watched as the air was vaporized, but they did not react.
After all, few of the people present recognized Kong.
Except for Arraja.
" Nara Varuna the mastermind behind this Black Tide...? You can know a person's face but not their heart..."
"Arraja sighed."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded silently and waved to send everyone back to their own countries.
They'll know what to do.
The empty body was vaporized, but the soul remained.
His soul drifted and drifted, until it left Teyvat, and drifted beyond the world...
Emptiness gradually awakened.
"I'm still alive..."
" Jiang Xiaofeng, you'll regret not completely destroying my soul..."
The colorless soul, guided by its inner voice, arrived at the front of a world bubble and entered it.
What kind of world is this?
"I feel like I have some kind of subtle connection to Teyvat... it can't be just my imagination..."
The empty soul slowly drifted towards the blue planet before it...
Meanwhile, on Earth.
A black-haired youth smashed the keyboard in front of him.
"What the hell is this boss rush?!"
The young man pulled the laptop close to his eyes and used the keyboard to challenge the blue, enhanced the Scarecrow once again.
The young man gradually calmed down and soon killed the Scarecrow with the Cursed Blade.
"Phew, looks like it's a problem with the technique."
The young man quit the game and prepared to cook.
Suddenly, the young man raised his head and stared intently out the window.
At the same time, Jiang Xiaofeng paused in his eating.
After leaving behind a bag of Mora, Jiang Xiaofeng disappeared into the Good Hunter Restaurant.
On Earth, the young man slowly walked to the window, feeling the familiar scent from space.
"..."
The young man's expression gradually turned serious.
Has someone come to Earth?
Just as the young man was pondering, Jiang Xiaofeng appeared behind him.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Jiang Xiaofeng said to the young man.
"Oh? What brings you here?"
The young man, though interrupted in his thoughts, was not angry and cheerfully invited Jiang Xiaofeng to sit down.
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa, looking at the young man. "Are you getting used to life on Earth?"
The young man shrugged. "You have to get used to it."
"In your world, you can't kill people. When I encounter someone who doesn't know their place, I can only take them to the... police station. I can't deal with them myself."
"This is so painful."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
By now, you should understand that this young man is the original Jiang Xiaofeng, the former the King's soul, who came into Jiang Xiaofeng's body, took over the soulless body, and lived on as Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng sighed, "Alright, now's not the time to talk about this."
Do you need me to give you anything, or are you doing well enough to live on now?
The other person nodded. "I don't need anything."
"By the way, did you come here because of that guy from outside Earth?"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "Outer Earth?"
Yes, it's outside Earth.
"After all, that guy is in space, so far away from Earth, he can't run fast."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Your interests are certainly unique.
You actually have that much power?
"Do you want to kill this soul?"
"It's black-haired Jiang Xiaofeng," he suddenly asked.
"If you don't want it, you can keep it for me."
"I keep him by my side, at least I have someone to talk to."
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at him suspiciously. "You don't have any friends?"
Jiang Xiaofeng, with his black hair, tilted his head back. "Those idiots don't deserve to be called friends."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Yeah, that's me for you, you're awesome.
He didn't ask any more questions and looked directly out the window.
In space, Kong was desperately flying towards Earth when suddenly, a voice reached Kong's side.
I see you.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you so quickly."
Who told me that another version of myself wants to play with you?
Jiang Xiaofeng did not say this aloud.
Soon, Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Teyvat.
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaofeng left his Earth self a pile of Mora, enough for him to squander as he pleased.
As for emptiness?
That's not my concern.
He was only responsible for creating a body for Kong; he wasn't responsible for anything else.
He was preparing to travel to the next world.
Jiang Xiaofeng returned to Teyvat and realized something.
"I should check how far Genshin Impact has updated."
That way we won't be at a disadvantage.
"Forget it, I don't need a plot."
"As long as Ying is around, the plot won't fall apart."
"It definitely won't collapse, right!"
Jiang Xiaofeng returned to the Good Hunter Restaurant with a clear conscience and ordered another table of food...
Sora woke up in a hospital bed.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Xiaofeng with black hair smiling at her.
In a fit of extreme terror, Sora instantly fainted...
