Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 360 Daily Life on the Golden Apple Islands, Part 1: The Refreshing Summer

Strolling along the beach, the sound of the waves gently lapping against the shore...

Normally, the sounds of children playing and making noise would be annoying, but it's different here.

As I walked, the scenery in front of me inexplicably began to feel familiar.

Just when I thought I had misremembered, I saw that outfit in the Eye of God space.

A white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts... This is the most basic outfit chosen by most men in modern times, but when placed in the world of Teyvat, it becomes the only remembrance of that time.

So, it turns out, she was homesick...

"System, when will the function to return to Earth be unlocked?"

"...The area ahead is under development."

"We're not sisters, we can travel through time and space, so why is it so hard to develop the ability to travel between worlds?"

"Host, I'd like to too, but unfortunately, we lack the necessary resources..."

"Stop, it's that same old excuse again. I have so many Mora, isn't that enough for you to spend?"

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Huiyuan kicked the sand with a lonely stomp before returning to the campsite.

The children's group, including Klee, Courteney, Marta, Paimon, and the newly-transformed [Mum], are playing badminton with the shuttlecocks that Barbara brought.

Meanwhile, the adult group's leader, Ying, and Mr. Olaf were cooking a barbecue.

All the tasks that could be done have been assigned, so all Huiyuan could do was slack off.

There's nothing we can do about it; we have plenty of manpower.

Huiyuan took out a comic book, lay down, and began humming a lullaby.

Just then, Barbara walked over and sat down on another sun lounger.

"Miss Huiyuan."

"Hey Barbara, what brings you here? Why aren't you playing badminton with them?"

"I came here to rest because I was tired from playing. Marta is amazing; she mastered it in no time, and we couldn't beat her even in a 5-on-1 situation..."

Hearing this, Huiyuan gave a proud hum and said happily:

"Hmph, of course! My sister is amazing!"

"That's great... I wish I could be that good..."

"Hey, why would Barbara have such an idea?"

"Uh... well... because I'm also the younger sister of the leader of the Qin troupe. Sometimes I think, how cool would it be if I could wield a sword like my sister?"

"Barbara has done a great job! As an 'idol,' your shining qualities are no less than your older sister's. Would you like some juice? Freshly squeezed mandarin orange juice."

"Well, thank you."

The orange-yellow fruit pieces resemble tiny water droplets, making it a refreshing and cooling drink after exercise...

The coolness of summer always comes after exercise; only by occasionally stopping to rest can one truly feel the vitality of movement.

Just then, a badminton shuttlecock flew over and hit Huiyuan right on the back of the head.

After staggering, Klee ran over and said remorsefully:

"I'm sorry... Sister Huiyuan, I didn't mean to..."

Before she could finish apologizing, Huiyuan interrupted:

"It's okay, my brain isn't that fragile...here, your shuttlecock."

"I'm so sorry... Thank you, sister!"

Just as Klee was about to run back to continue playing badminton with her friends, Captain Qin walked over.

Along with it came the aroma of roasted meat, which meant the ingredients were ready to be cooked.

The children put down their exercise, wiped their sweat, and then enjoyed their food.

A vacation wouldn't be complete without music, so Huiyuan pulled out her conductor's baton and summoned the Ghost Band, who played "Warm Waves and Gentle Breeze" from the Nata Kingdom, the region of Flowing Springs.

As soon as this little tune starts playing, that feeling comes to mind!

It's almost like I'm soaking my whole body in a hot spring.

After the meal, Huiyuan went to the Chenge Pot to continue reading.

Just as the comic reached its climax, Courteney and Claire walked over.

Courtney hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother, we want to read comic books too."

Hearing this, I smiled and pulled out a copy of "My Best Friend Can't Be This Cute" from my Eye of God space...

Wait a minute, this book isn't suitable for children!

Realizing this, Huiyuan immediately put the book away and replaced it with a slice-of-life manga in Teyvat.

Klee tilted her head, looking at Huiyuan curiously, and asked:

"Sister, what was that book with the two girls' faces pressed together just now?"

"Ahem—kids shouldn't read this! By the way, is little Klee interested in comics?"

"Yes, I'm very interested! Little Courtney said it's very interesting, so I want to see it!"

Courtney nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Huiyuan pondered for a moment and said:

"Oh, I see... Then if you want to read comics or novels in the future, just come and borrow them from me."

"Thank you sister!"

After taking the comic, Klee gave Huiyuan a smile and then pulled Courtney into the room to read it.

Are lighthearted, funny comics suitable as bedtime stories?

Hmm... that should be appropriate, right?

At this moment, Marta walked over, and said with a speechless expression:

"They have such a good relationship... Why does Kourtney, such an idiot, get so much affection from Claire..."

Seeing this, Huiyuan made a cat-like face and teased as if watching a melon:

"Oh? Are you jealous?"

"Brother, what are you thinking? Why would I be jealous of Courteney?"

(If I'm jealous, it's only towards you, you silly brother...)

Thinking this to herself, Marta turned her head and let out a heavy snort.

Huiyuan doesn't know, would a brother and sister have that kind of intimate relationship? Why would Marta react like this?

Forbidden love, that's not allowed!

At this moment, Mumu nestled against Marta's belly, transformed into a slime, and entered a dormant state.

Marta didn't look at Huiyuan again, and carried her to the room to sleep.

Huiyuan was helpless; his sister's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea!

I really don't understand what's there to be angry about.

Just then, Paimon, who had just finished bathing, floated over.

Having just witnessed Mumu transform into a slime, she came to Huiyuan's side, picked up a snack, and asked:

"Huiyuan, how did Mumu turn into a slime?"

"Uh... Paimon, let's rephrase that question. How did Mumu, who is a slime, become human?"

"Then, how did she become human?"

"I don't know, she just changed like that... I'm puzzled too. I was just raising her in the Dust Song Pot, how did she evolve into human form? Could it be that all the children I raise are gifted?"

"That's amazing? Then, if... I mean, if Huiyuan raised me, would I turn into a super-muscle Paimon?"

"Hiss...uh...no. But I do have a potion that can temporarily increase Paimon's size."

"Huh, really? If that's the case, then I can help the traveler in battle?"

"Stop daydreaming, Paimon. Potions are expensive. And instead of giving them to you, why not just give them to Ying?"

"Ah... okay."

Paimon scratched his head, then gave up on thinking about it.

Yawning, she rubbed her eyes and flew towards Ying's room.
