Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 194 Little Arrogant Girl?

Compared to Abedo's lack of interest, Paimon became instantly excited upon hearing the word "chat."

"Want to chat? I want to listen too, save me a spot!"

Seeing this, Huiyuan also gathered around and listened attentively.

“I know you have a lot of questions about me and about this whole thing, so feel free to ask. But I don’t intend to lie to you. There are some things that can’t be said yet, so please allow me to skip them for now.”

Seeing Abedor's sincerity, Paimon exclaimed in surprise, "Wow... he's a very frank person..."

"It's even more carefree than I expected!"

Just after Ying said those words, an unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared.

"Tiga plata!"

"Hmm!...Huh?"

Paimon had just nodded in agreement with Ying's point of view when he heard this strange sound, and was belatedly surprised.

“Odumu Movo!”

The voice appeared again, and Ying looked at Paimon beside her in confusion.

"Is that Paimon making that weird noise?"

"No, that's not it! Why don't you say it's Sister Lingling making strange noises!"

Just then, a Hilichurl who had gone out hunting came running along the stone path.

Everyone then realized that the strange noises they had just heard were actually the hostility of the Hilichurls.

They were all small Hilichurls, and after easily defeating them, the Hilichurls ran away.

"Did you see that? That Hilichurl ran away grabbing something that looks like a book!"

Abedo curiously looked in the direction Paimon pointed, and upon seeing the item clearly, his face fell the next second.

"Oh no...it's my sketchbook."

Abedo uncertainly rummaged through the backpack he had left on the ground during the fight, a rare look of anger appearing in his eyes.

"How dare you steal my sketchbook! Humph, you've got some nerve."

Seeing the angry Abedo following the footprints, Ying followed and said, "I'll help."

Seeing this, Paimon and Hunyuan followed Abedo.

After chasing for a while, the group arrived at the entrance of a cave.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Abedo said, "Judging from the footprints, it ran inside."

"Let's follow it! Don't let it get too far!"

Just as Paimon said those words and was about to float inside, Abedo quickly grabbed her.

"Wait a minute. This snow mountain is enormous. Even if there are roads inside, they won't be flat plains."

Abedo pricked up his ears and listened intently.

"Can you feel it? The wind carries the scent of ice fields and rocks... and there's an echo. The space inside must be huge."

After listening to Abedo's description, Paimon listened carefully and was shocked to find that the voice matched the description perfectly.

"It really is!"

"Therefore, it would be no good for us to act rashly. Going through might be dangerous, so let's take a detour. If I'm not mistaken, the exit of this cave is on the other side of the mountain, and we can fly over there."

After saying that, Abedo prepared to spread his wings of wind and fly into the wind.

Huiyuan stopped Abedo and conjured a cloud with his hand.

"【Somersault Cloud】, even more convenient."

This "Somersault Cloud" is of course the cloud released by Huiyuan using an elemental skill, not the Somersault Cloud that can travel 108,000 miles in a single flip.

Seeing this, Ying and Paimon got in, and Abedo, slightly surprised, also got in the car.

After bypassing the mountain, just as Abedo had said, we found the Hilichurl camp at the other exit.

This Hilichurl camp was very well hidden, covered by a blizzard, and located right between two mountains.

Upon landing, a large group of Hilichurls surrounded them.

After displaying such wisdom, the Hilichurls even adopted a battle formation.

Compared to the Hilichurl tribes of Dadaupa Valley, the Hilichurls here are clearly more intelligent. Is this due to the influence of the Dulin Remains?

After defeating the Hilichurls, the sketchbook was found on the leader Hilichurl.

Abedo took the sketchbook from Huiyuan and his face showed a sad expression.

"Hmm, it's a bit damaged... I'll go back and do some emergency repairs first, let's meet at the camp later."

Paimon was slightly worried as he watched Abedo rushing frantically toward the camp.

After all, I've never seen Abedo with that expression on his face since we met, so it seems this sketchbook is very important to him.

Huiyuan didn't pay too much attention. Looking at the Starry Cave that was so close by, she led the way inside.

As mentioned before, to activate the Frost Spikes, you need to thaw three frozen spherical mechanisms; the last one is inside the [Starry Cave].

Ying and Paimon didn't ask any more questions and followed Huiyuan.

They entered the cave along the way, solved the complex puzzle mechanism, and Ying released the last sphere.

"Sister Lingling, according to what you said, this should be the last one, right?"

"Hmm, if I hadn't analyzed it, that huge pillar on the mountaintop that even I couldn't budge should be able to be lifted now. But more importantly, let's go back to camp and check on Abedo."

After walking up the cave for several hours, the group returned to the camp.

After exchanging greetings, Paimon asked, "Abedo, how's the emergency response going?"

"It's alright. A few pages are damaged, but most of it is intact. The temperature in the snow mountain is too low, especially in that cave, where the temperature has reached its limit... Besides, the Hilichurl drooled on the notebook. It's unimaginable what would have happened if frozen paper had fallen into such a low temperature."

"Frozen paper is so brittle, it would break at the slightest touch, wouldn't it?"

Paimon exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the sketchbook.

Following Paimon's gaze, Ying noticed the seemingly intact sketchbook on the table and remarked, "It's amazing you managed to salvage the sketchbook."

"As expected of an alchemist, so skillful. If the notebook is badly damaged, Abedo will definitely be furious."

Looking at Paimon, who had said those words, Abeddo asked in confusion, "Why would you think that?"

"Because I saw your expression when you took back the sketchbook, you seemed very nervous."

"Really? I shouldn't get too angry about something like that. If it really can't be salvaged, we can just redraw it."

Seeing Abedo's inconsistent words and actions, Paimon became suspicious.

"Huh...this is actually quite realistic..."

After listening to what Abedo said, Ying shook her head and retorted, "You should be a little angry at times like this!"

"is it?"

Seeing Abedo's nonchalant attitude, Ying added, "No matter what, it was a painting you put your heart into."

Paimon nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes!"

"Paintings carry memories."

"Yes!"

Don't easily give up things related to memories.
