Genshin Impact: My entries are irresistible.

Page 3

The system task requires rescuing Xiangling within three days, which means she should be out of immediate danger. Since things have come to this, let's go to sleep.

Lu Lin found a secluded and deserted place and returned to Chen Ge Hu, where he made do for the night.

......

The next morning, Lu Lin, having had a good night's sleep, got up early, tidied himself up briefly, and headed straight for Yuehai Pavilion.

"What? Gan Yu isn't here?" At the entrance of Yuehai Pavilion, Lu Lin was greeted by Ningguang's secretary, Baiwen.

"Miss Gan Yu received news of Xiang Ling's disappearance last night and went to Gui Li Yuan overnight."

Yes, Xiangling is Grandma Ping's apprentice, and in terms of seniority, she is Gan Yu's junior sister. The two sisters have a very close relationship.

When her junior sister got into trouble, and she didn't have a system to predict that Xiangling wouldn't be in immediate danger, she was naturally anxious upon receiving the news.

"Thank you for letting me know!"

After bidding farewell to Baiwen, Lu Lin purchased two new beds and bedding, put them in the Chenge Pot, prepared some living supplies, and then headed straight for Guili Plain.

Return to the original.

This place was originally the territory of the Demon God Gui Zhong. During the Demon God War, a great battle broke out here. Zhong Li and other immortals were unable to come to the rescue in time, and Gui Zhong eventually died in battle.

Guili Plains was reduced to ruins due to the great war, and the surviving people moved to Liyue Harbor. It wasn't until the end of the Demon God War and the establishment of Liyue that the place slowly regained some life.

Lu Lin traveled north through Tianheng Mountain and arrived at the outskirts of Guili Plain.

There is an important trade route leading to Wangshu Inn, but it has been temporarily closed by the Thousand Rock Army due to the rampage of demons.

"Sir, the road ahead is temporarily closed!" A heavily armed Qianyan soldier stopped Lu Lin.

"I'm looking for Gan Yu, has she gone inside?"

"Miss Gan Yu has been inside for several hours now, and there's still no news."

Lu Lin did not rush in rashly. Without Gan Yu by his side, it would be suicide for him to run in alone.

Just as he was racking his brains about what to do, two figures approached side by side from a distance.

Leading the way was Xing Qiu, whom Lu Lin had met yesterday, followed by a young girl.

The girl had brown hair and wore black clothes. She had her hair in pigtails and wore a Qiankun Tai Gua hat on her head, which was decorated with blood-red plum blossom headdresses. Her eyes were also plum blossom shaped.

Her slender calves were wrapped in white socks, and she wore hot pants that revealed her fair and smooth thighs, exuding youthful vitality!

Beside her was a small white ghost, baring its little fangs and darting around, looking incredibly cute.

"Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?" Xingqiu greeted Lu Lin when he saw him.

"Hello Xingqiu, I'm here to see Gan Yu. I heard she went to Guiliyuan. What brings you here?"

"I see. Let me introduce you. This is Hu Tao, the head of the Rebirth Hall." Xingqiu pointed to the girl behind him, then to Lu Lin and said, "This is Mr. Lu Lin, a good friend of Miss Gan Yu."

"Hello Lu Lin, I'm Hu Tao, the head of the Rebirth Hall!" A lively and outgoing girl handed over a card. "Are you an adventurer? Here's my contact information. Feel free to contact me if you need anything; I have coupons available. If you have a travel companion, we have a buy-one-get-one-half-price promotion..."

"Master Hu, now is not the time for sales pitches..." Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Xingqiu quickly interrupted her sales pitch.

Lu Lin recognized her immediately. He took the business card and put it away, then smiled and said, "Hello, Hall Master Hu. I'll contact you if I need anything."

"Hmm~ Mr. Lu is very magnanimous, with an extraordinary demeanor. He is clearly an outstanding person!" Lu Lin accepted the business card without hesitation, immediately winning Hu Tao's approval and receiving lavish praise.

"So, what's this about you two?"

"Alas, I heard about Xiangling's disappearance in Guili Plain, and I was worried. I wanted to help look for her, but I met Master Hu on the way," Xingqiu sighed.

He and Xiangling were very good friends, and he couldn't sit still after hearing the news.

"I've come for this matter as well." Hu Tao nodded, but she wasn't as worried as Xing Qiu. It wasn't that she didn't care about Xiang Ling, but rather that she took matters of life and death lightly, and her mindset was different.

"Gan Yu has already gone in to find Xiang Ling. Now that Gui Li Yuan is full of dangers, why don't the three of us travel together so we can look after each other!" Lu Lin sent out a team invitation.

Hu Tao and Xing Qiu are both masters with divine eyes who can use elemental power. Following them will greatly increase safety and make it easier to rescue Xiang Ling.

Because Gan Yu said yesterday that Lu Lin saved her, and Xing Qiu also trusted Lu Lin's abilities, the three of them hit it off and decided to team up and go.

The Thousand Rock Army stationed there did not stop them this time; they trusted these extraordinary individuals with divine eyes enough.

Guiliyuan has a lot of ruins, which are relics left over from the war between demons and gods. From time to time, things like demon remnants will come out and cause trouble.

However, thanks to the continuous efforts of the guardian yakshas to eliminate the remaining demonic remnants, the number of demons has been greatly reduced, and there hasn't been such a large-scale demonic disturbance for a long time.

The entire Guili Plain was shrouded in a thin layer of black mist. Not long after the three of them ventured deep into the ruins, they encountered a group of Hilichurls blocking their way.

"I'll take care of them!" Xingqiu drew his sword and charged into the Qiuqiu crowd.

He possesses a chivalrous heart and is a martial arts genius. His swordsmanship is superb, making it easy for him to deal with Hilichurls.

After a fierce charge, all the Hilichurls perished under his sword.

"All done! Let's continue... Huh?!" Xingqiu sheathed his sword, turned around, and froze.

There was nothing behind him, not a single person in sight!

Where are Lu Lin and Hu Tao?!

Chapter Five: Hurry Up

Just as Xingqiu was fighting the Hilichurl alone, Hu Tao and Lu Lin intended to step forward to help and finish the battle quickly. However, as soon as they made a move, everything went black and they felt a dizzying sensation.

When the two regained their sight, the scenery before them had changed drastically. Xingqiu and the Hilichurl had all disappeared, and they had arrived in a completely unfamiliar place.

"Where is this?" Lu Lin, though startled, remained calm and drew his sword, fully alert. He had bought the sword from Hanfeng Ironware on short notice.

"Hmm~ It seems we've triggered a mechanism and entered some kind of secret realm." Hu Tao also held her weapon, the Staff of Homa, in her hand, remaining vigilant.

Lu Lin looked around. It was a passageway with large luminous pearls embedded in the walls on both sides, illuminating the entire passageway.

However, the black fog inside the passage was much denser than outside. Even with the illumination of the luminous pearl, one could only barely see within three meters; beyond that, it was pitch black.

Lu Lin took two luminous pearls off the wall. He wasn't greedy for money; he just wanted to carry them around for lighting.

He gave one of the luminous pearls to Hu Tao, but to his surprise, Hu Tao not only accepted the pearl, but also grabbed his hand in return.

Eh? !

As he felt the delicate, smooth touch, Lu Lin looked up in surprise, wondering why Hu Tao was suddenly being so proactive.

"Hmm~ This ruin gives me a very bad feeling. To avoid any accidents or getting lost, we need to hurry."

It really does require a physical grip.

Perhaps because it was the first time she had held a boy's hand, Hu Tao, who was usually warm and generous, was a little shy. Her explanation was also dry, as if she was only thinking about everyone's safety.

The white phantom that originally adorned her fingertips was now occupied by Lu Lin's hand, and could only drift aggrievedly to her shoulder, hanging on her brown hair.

"Yes, you're right. The way we were pulled into this ruin was very sudden. We definitely need to be more vigilant and can't afford to get separated again!"

Lu Lin nodded in agreement, his expression righteous and awe-inspiring.

That's right! Everything was for their safety!

Although Hu Tao's hands were just as delicate and smooth, they were not quite the same as Gan Yu's.

Gan Yu's little hands were icy cold, while Hu Tao's were unexpectedly warm, just like her personality—fiery, lively, and full of enthusiasm.

The two walked hand in hand into the depths of the ruins.

The straight passageway made it difficult to discern directions, but the thicker the fog became as they walked, proving that they were on the right track.

The passageway wasn't particularly long; after walking for a few minutes, the two arrived at a tightly closed stone door.

Lu Lin tried to push the door, but it didn't budge.

"There should be some kind of mechanism here, let's look for it." Hu Tao seemed very experienced, holding Lu Lin's hand and looking around to find the mechanism to open the door.

The two quickly found a strange cube embedded next to the door. The cube was made up of small cubes, which were painted in different colors. Hu Tao tried it and found that the small cubes could rotate.

Lu Lin brought the luminous pearl closer and took a closer look. His lips twitched. Wasn't this just a 3x3 Rubik's Cube?

"This should be the mechanism to open the door, but how do I solve it?" Hu Tao randomly turned the Rubik's Cube a few times, but couldn't figure it out at all.

"Let me give it a try!" This Rubik's Cube wasn't exactly the same as the ones he'd played with before, because it was mounted on a pillar and several small cubes were fixed in place and couldn't be rotated.

Fortunately, when he was in school, there was a Rubik's Cube craze, and he followed the trend and studied it a lot. The 3x3 Rubik's Cube was still no challenge for him.

While recalling the formulas he had memorized before, he studied this rather unusual Rubik's Cube and, after about ten minutes, finally found the trick.

Click!

With a crisp click as the mechanism snapped shut, a rumbling sound came from the gate.

"So it's to make every side the same color! What an amazing mechanism! Lu Lin, you're so clever!" Hu Tao patted his shoulder, sincerely praising him.

Even the little white ghost hanging in her hair floated forward and made an approving expression.

"It's not difficult, you just haven't seen it before. I can teach you how to play it when you have time!" The difficulty of the 3x3 Rubik's Cube is not high, but for someone like Hu Tao who was encountering it for the first time, Lu Lin's operation was already amazing enough.

"Then it's settled!" The quirky and clever Hu Tao has always been very interested in these strange and unusual things.

While studying the Rubik's Cube, Hu Tao got very close to observe Lu Lin's movements, their heads almost touching.

Lu Lin had been so focused on studying the mechanism that he hadn't noticed these things, but now that he relaxed, the faint fragrance of plum blossoms lingered around his nose, making him lose his senses.

As if possessed, he took Hu Tao's soft little hand and said casually, "The door's open, shall we go in and take a look?"

"Hmm~ Let's go!"

Hu Tao's little hand stiffened for a moment when it was held, but remembering that she had taken the initiative in the first place, and that Lu Lin had a businesslike and indifferent look, she let him lead her forward.

"We need to be careful. I don't know why, but I feel even more uneasy after coming in." Hu Tao's voice was no longer lively, and it was unusually serious.

"Is the sense of unease increasing?" Lu Lin frowned.

To be honest, he was a little nervous and uneasy at first, after all, it was his first time truly entering the secret realm, but as the two of them gradually went deeper into the secret realm, he slowly relaxed a lot.

Hu Tao is a fearless girl who can spend the night at Wuwangpo, so why is her unease growing stronger?

She's known for being incredibly daring!

Even the little ghosts on her hair look a bit wilted now.

Filled with doubt, the two passed through the door and entered a spacious hall.

Rumble!

The two had just stepped into the hall and hadn't even had a chance to observe properly when the door behind them closed automatically again.

"Watch out!" Hu Tao shouted, swinging her spear to deflect several arrows that suddenly appeared from the darkness.

"Ah!!!" With shouts, a group of Hilichurls rushed out and surrounded Lu Lin and Hu Tao.

The group of Hilichurls were extremely agitated. Upon seeing the two people in the hall, they charged forward with their weapons without saying a word.

"You protect yourself, I'll take care of them!" Hu Tao brandished his spear, flames erupting from its tip, and charged into the midst of the monsters.

Walnut uses the secret spear technique passed down by the Hall of Rebirth. The moves are exquisite and the power is boundless. It is said that "the spear opens the road to the Yellow Springs and the butterfly leads the bridge to the next life."

At this moment, she was like a butterfly dancing gracefully, moving freely among the monsters. Her spear could thrust or sweep, and the Hilichurls were almost no match for her.

In no time at all, she swept away the entire group of Hilichurls and sent them to their deaths.

The butterfly gracefully landed back on the ground, stood tall and proud, its spear pointing diagonally, exuding heroic spirit.

"Wow... Hu Tao!!!"

Lu Lin was about to praise her for being so amazing when he saw the girl suddenly fall straight backward!

Chapter Six: Walnut's Healing Secrets

"How are you? Where are you hurt?" Lu Lin rushed forward and caught the falling Hu Tao. He had no time to appreciate the soft, fragrant body in his arms, his face full of anxiety.

"N-nothing... I'm just a little exhausted." Hu Tao's pretty face was pale, and the little ghost was hanging on her hair, looking listless and without any energy.

"Your face is so pale and you're still saying you're alright? You can't be stubborn like this!" Lu Lin didn't believe her at all and directly checked her injuries.

"Oh! What are you doing?" The girl was surprised by his actions and exclaimed in a sweet voice, but she was too weak to stop him.

"Don't move, let me check you out."

His fair skin made Lu Lin's breathing become heavier. He forcibly suppressed his restless heart and focused on a careful examination.

He moved very gently, afraid of accidentally touching Hu Tao's wound, but after checking her arms, shoulders, waist, abdomen and other areas, he found no wound.

There's only one place left to check...
