Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 26 Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain

With the death of the Hidden Mirror Maiden's consciousness, Qiuhe completely gained control of this body. However, he had wasted a great deal of mental energy in the initial desperate struggle to seize control of the body.

Although he could maintain a good mental state, he felt slightly tired, and Qiuhe finally understood why he had instinctively felt fear and resistance when he tried to possess Kujavina.

It took him so much effort just to possess a Hidden Mirror Lady, and he was almost squeezed out of her body. If he had acted rashly back then, Kujavina probably had a million ways to kill him.

Qiuhe was also trying to see if he could use the Hidden Mirror Lady's skill. If he could use the previous space-traveling skill, he might be able to teleport directly back to the Hearth House.

As Qiuhe controlled the water elemental energy in his hands, he successfully opened a water elemental teleportation mirror. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and used the Void Rift Crossing technique once again.

Finding no unusual life forms around, it then transferred its main body out of the body and looked at a large rock nearby.

Qiuhe directly cut the boulder into the shape of a tombstone, then planted it in the ground beneath his feet. He then made his physical body kneel before the tombstone.

After doing all this, Qiuhe entered the Water Mirror Portal and teleported back to the Hearth House. "Knock knock knock," came the caller: "Sir, we need to report to you about the child named Luoli."

"Come in"

The Mirror Maiden controlled by Qiuhe slowly entered Kujavina's room, where Kujavina was sitting at the table drinking red wine.

"My lord, I followed that child named Luo Li all the way to Mondstadt but didn't find anything unusual. He should still be resting at his father's grave."

“It’s near Qingquan Town,” Qiuhe said, while keeping a close eye on Kujavina’s mouth out of the corner of his eye. Kujavina took a sip of her red wine, put down the glass, and a slow smile appeared on her lips.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." (Inazuma's language) Akikawa immediately noticed that Kujavina's smile was in Inazuma's language.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't understand what you were saying. Please forgive me," Kujavina said, her smile fading slightly.

Then, Kujavina tapped the table lightly with her finger, and a water mirror portal opened beside Qiuhe, from which another woman, the Hidden Mirror Lady, emerged.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Go to Qingquan Town and see if there's a child standing in front of a tombstone there."

"Yes, sir," the woman from the Hidden Mirror Pavilion then arrived smoothly in Qingquan Town, where she saw Qiuhe kneeling on the ground not far away, and a tombstone in front of him.

The Mirror Maiden teleported back again, "Yes, sir, the child is still there." Upon hearing this, Kujavina fell into thought.

"Please step back," Kujavina said, and the two ladies-in-waiting left the room.

"That kid is far more cunning than you think," a man with blue-green hair and a bird-beak mask slowly spoke from a corner.

Kujavina then smiled slowly and said, "He's just a child of the Hearth House, and I'm the mother of the Hearth House. Do you think I can't handle him?"

The man in the corner wearing a bird-beak mask chuckled slowly, "Then I'll wait and see the show." Qiuhe controlled the Hidden Mirror Maiden.

Instead of immediately returning its consciousness to its original body, it slowly headed towards Baisong Town.

Inside the town of Baisong, Kares was chatting with his friends, with Navia, Miles, and Silver sitting next to him.

Qiuhe then used the Water Mirror Teleportation to enter Baisong Town directly. Kares, seeing the sudden appearance of something resembling a mirror, instantly became alert.

As a member of the Fatui Clan, a woman with a hidden mirror, slowly emerged from inside, Qiuhe noticed Navia sitting beside her. Kares also noticed the Fatui Clan member's gaze fixed on Navia.

"Myles and Silver, cover Navia!" Myles and Silver reacted instantly, drawing their guns.

At this moment, Qiuhe also controlled the Hidden Mirror Maiden to attack Navia instantly. With two gunshots, Qiuhe's consciousness instantly returned to his own body.

"Hmph, now there's no evidence left," Qiuhe chuckled slowly before standing up and heading towards Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

Arriving at Qiuhe in Longji Snow Mountain, I followed the route from the game in my memory, slowly making my way to the heart of Dulin. Upon reaching my destination, I discovered that the heart had already lost its vitality.

There wasn't a glimmer of light. "It seems the dragon inside me really is Dulin," Qiuhe said, slowly walking towards the lifeless heart. He touched it, finding no reaction.

"So, all of Dulin's power is now within me, but I can't use it right now and can only absorb it little by little?"

As Qiuhe was thinking, he heard several very heavy footsteps behind him. The sound was heavy and powerful, as if some huge object was approaching.

Qiuhe subconsciously turned around and saw a Frostlord, a Celestial Queen, who was exuding a cold aura.

However, unlike before, Qiuhe did not feel the panic and tension he had before. He stood quietly in place, expressionlessly watching Qiuqiu Shuangkai King.

The Frostlord, Qiuqiu, also sensed Qiuhe's presence. Its entire body instantly erupted with ice elemental power, freezing the surrounding air into ice shards. It crouched down and charged towards Qiuhe at astonishing speed.

Facing the fierce attack of the Frostlord, Qiuhe did not flinch. Just as the Frostlord charged towards him, he nimbly leaped into the air, dodging the attack.

At the same time, he rapidly transferred the energy within his body to the blade of his sword, which immediately emitted a dark purple light. Taking advantage of this opening, Qiuhe swung his longsword without hesitation, slashing down fiercely.

The sharp blade, carrying immense force, severed one of King Frostfire's arms. Blood gushed out, splattering onto the ground and forming a crimson stain.

Qiuqiu Shuangkai felt a sharp pain in its arm, and its body involuntarily staggered and fell to the ground. It sat there, staring at Qiuhe in terror, and began to back away, trying to escape.

Seeing this, Qiuhe slowly walked towards Qiuqiu Shuangkai. His steps were firm and steady, each step carrying an unstoppable momentum.

As the fear of death drew ever closer, King Qiuqiu Shuangkai could no longer bear the pressure. He stood up, turned around, and slunk away.

Seeing this, Qiuhe also withdrew the energy from his sword. Looking at the somewhat damaged and bent Dragon's Roar in his hand, he couldn't help but sigh. Even a four-star weapon couldn't withstand prolonged wear and tear.

This isn't a game, after all. Weapons can break and crack. This isn't some divine weapon like the Crown of the Great or the Mist-Cutting Radiance; it's just a more powerful weapon.

Eventually, it will wear down, and Qiuhe now thought that he must find a divine weapon that could withstand the power within him, not just an ordinary sword.

Unable to remain attached to that corrosive energy for long, Qiuhe continued walking into the mountains, something he needed to consider for the future.

Before leaving, Qiuhe wanted to see if he could find anything useful. As he went further in, the air around him grew colder and colder. Qiuhe looked around and found that there was nothing left.

He had decided to give up, but as he turned his head, he met the eyes of a blue-haired girl. The girl was standing not far away, staring blankly at Qiuhe.

The girl was naked except for a bath towel wrapped around her. Qiuhe looked at the girl's hair color, appearance, and the black lace headscarf on her head.

I recognized her immediately; it was Yura.
