Genshin Impact, it's you who rejected me, why are you all in such a hurry if I just give up?

"I've been busy dealing with those 'battery' issues these past few days."

"Well, I just finished dealing with this and brought Nasita to see you."

"I was originally planning to wake up your sister Baal first."

Just as Balzeb was showing an expression of excitement and anticipation that was almost enough to make him cry, Lin Jiu'an suddenly changed the subject.

"such a pity."

"Look at you, now you dare to treat me like this."

"If your sister wakes up, wouldn't you just chop me up?"

As he spoke, Lin Jiu'an removed his hand from Balzeb's face and muttered to himself, "After thinking it over, I think I should go and revive the Great Tree King."

“At least Nasita listens to me and is obedient and sensible.”

"Even if the Great Tree King is resurrected, there's nothing to worry about."

Despite saying this, Lin Jiu'an retracted his hand very slowly.

There are quite a few loopholes in what he said.

Regardless of whether Nasita will still obey after the Great Tree King is truly resurrected.

The question is whether the Great Tree King would fight against him after being resurrected, for the sake of the Sumeru people he had turned into "batteries".

However, Barzeb was completely overwhelmed by the excitement that 'his sister can wake up!'

Hearing Lin Jiu'an say this, and seeing that he was about to revive the Great Compassion Tree King, Balzeb became anxious and couldn't think of or even pay attention to those things.

She only knows a little bit.

That means we must stop Lin Jiu'an today no matter what.

She couldn't wait even a second longer.

The thought of being able to talk to my sister again...

The thought of being able to feel my sister's gentleness and doting affection again is so appealing.

The thought of seeing my sister again, touching my head and calling me 'Xiaoying'...

Especially when he thought about how he had 'pushed away' the chance to revive his sister, and how if he had really let him go today, not to mention when the next time his sister could be revived, just whether the other party would even be willing to do so would be a big problem.

Barzeb panicked and became anxious.

She grabbed Lin Jiu'an's hand, which had moved back less than halfway.

"no!"

"No?" Lin Jiu'an asked curiously, "I don't quite understand. Are you ordering me around?"

Balzebu was speechless. She had lived under the protection of her older sister and the Fox Palace since she was a child. It could be said that from birth until now, apart from killing people, everyone and demon who had interacted with her either indulged her or respected her.

No one had ever dared to speak to her like that before.

No one dared to treat her like that.

This left Barzeb somewhat at a loss as to what to do. She had absolutely no experience in begging others; if it were anyone else, she would have already killed them, or at best, held a knife to their neck and forced them to submit.

But such behavior would obviously not work against Lin Jiu'an.

This was a madman who had been unilaterally slaughtered by her for countless years, yet still relentlessly attacked her. She couldn't be sure whether if she really attacked him, she would gain his submission or he would die together with her sister, clinging to her last hope of resurrecting her.

Even though she vaguely knew in her heart that she should beg him now, she was willing to swallow her pride for the sake of her sister Balzeb.

But here's the thing.

Barzeb is now at a loss about what to do!

Think before and after.

Barzeb gripped Lin Jiu'an's hand even tighter.

She looked at Lin Jiu'an, her face still bearing the habitual coldness that had remained for thousands of years, but her eyes visibly held a pleading look.

"What conditions."

"I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Resurrect my sister first."

"Really? But I don't think you sound very sincere."

Lin Jiu'an dropped the pretense and revealed a mocking smile.

Balzeb wasn't annoyed. She glanced briefly at her sister, whose body was ethereal in the void, and pondered for a long time, 'How can I make my tone sound more sincere?'

"please."

Barzeb never said anything like that.

Even if you try your best to speak, it's inevitable that you'll stumble and fall, and there's always a very stiff tone, but you can still hear the sincerity in your voice.

It's funny too.

Lin Jiu'an couldn't help but reveal a mocking smile.

"What did you say?"

"I didn't hear that clearly."

Ignoring Lin Jiu'an's undisguised mocking smile, Balzeb pleaded again, "Please."

"If you revive my sister first, revive my sister now, I'll agree to anything you ask."

It was supposed to be a single sentence, but Balzeb spoke as if he had said a dozen, stumbling and pausing every few words. Coupled with the slightly stiff pleading on his face, Lin Jiu'an couldn't stop laughing.

He broke free from Balzeb's grasp, and under her pleading gaze, reached out and patted her cheek dismissively.

This contemptuous attitude failed to provoke even the slightest anger from the general.

Barzeb continued to look at him pleadingly.

"How can you be so shameless?"

Lin Jiu'an slapped the other person twice more forcefully, and then simply grabbed the other person's face roughly with his hand.

"Can't you be a little tougher?"

"I've already treated you like this."

"Make it simple."

"Can't you just cut me down with a cold, indifferent look, as if you can't even see me, like before?"

As he spoke, Lin Jiu'an took out "Dream of One Heart," grabbed Balzeb's right hand, shoved the sword into her hand, and then pointed it at himself while holding her hand.

"Here it is, that's how it is."

"Cut me."

Barzeb didn't make a move; he just gritted his teeth and looked at him pleadingly.

"Cut me!"

"Why did you stop cutting?"

"Weren't you chopping away with great enthusiasm before?"

This time, Lin Jiu'an simply grabbed her hand and forced her to hold the sword and slash at him.

Realizing what was happening, Balzeb quickly exerted force in the opposite direction.

The two were locked in an awkward stalemate. Lin Jiu'an gripped Balzeb's hand and slashed at himself with his sword, while Balzeb, who had slashed at him countless times before, resisted Lin Jiu'an's attacks with all his might, unwilling to slash at him.

Although her emotional intelligence is shockingly low, she is not truly stupid.

It's easy to see that Lin Jiu'an was deliberately mocking her.

If she really dares to slash Lin Jiu'an, then her sister is completely beyond saving.

"Please," Balzeb pleaded again, "please resurrect my sister."

Although his voice was still clenched through his teeth and carried a hint of coldness, it only made it more amusing.

Lin Jiu'an then let go and stopped struggling with her.

"Just saying it verbally won't move me."

Barzeb was momentarily confused.

"If you're asking for a favor, you should act like you're asking for a favor. You don't just think that saying 'I'm asking you' is enough, do you?"

“I’ll do whatever you say,” Balzeb said.

Who asks someone for a favor by making them name their terms?

Balzeb immediately said, "If you resurrect my sister now, I am willing to be your sword and serve you for a hundred years."

Then, seeing that Lin Jiu'an's smile remained unchanged and he didn't say anything, he added, "You can add more time if you're not satisfied, and you can mention any other conditions you have."

"Alright, you can't even figure it out yourself with your brain."

Lin Jiu'an said listlessly, "Here's a hint for you."

"If you can't figure it out yourself, ask someone else."

"Or, think about what 'predecessors' did."

"I'll give you one day. If you can't come up with satisfactory terms after one day, then I'm sorry, we'll have to wait until next time."

Chapter Eleven: Sacrifice and Resurrection (Supplement to Yesterday's Chapter)

Ask someone else.

“Think about what our predecessors did.”

You have one day left.

Barzeb kept thinking about those two sentences.

When she came to her senses, Lin Jiu'an had already disappeared. All that was left was the petite Naxida huddled in the corner, seemingly left behind by Lin Jiu'an.

'other people.'.

Looking at Nasita, Balzeb seemed to realize something.

Barzeb asked, "What...should I do?"

Naxi Da was stunned.

She couldn't understand why Balzeb would ask her that question.

She was, after all, the 'daughter' of the Great Tree King.

Lin Jiu'an will choose between "the former Thor Baal" and "the former Grass God Great Compassion Tree King" for the resurrection this time. Logically speaking, the current Thor and the current Grass God should be in competition with each other.

"I...I think..."

Naxida hesitated for a moment.

It's unclear whether it was out of kindness or speculation that Lin Jiu'an left her behind after leaving her there.

In short, after much thought, Nasita felt she still had to answer her, and she couldn't just fool her.

Nasita hesitated before speaking, "When asking someone for a favor, you should try to cater to their preferences."

She spoke without much confidence.

It's not that I don't want to tell her the truth, but she herself doesn't quite understand these kinds of social niceties.

Naxi Da was neither familiar with nor unfamiliar with the word 'secular'.

While inside other people's bodies and browsing their consciousness, she has seen countless people and experienced countless worldly interactions, making her theoretical experience quite rich. However, she has never personally gone into battle, so she has zero practical experience.

Just like before and after being with Lin Jiu'an.

Before being taken advantage of, she didn't understand why humans, even after successfully perpetuating their lineage, would still be so enthusiastic about such a time-wasting activity without the intention of having children.

After being taken advantage of, she understood them.

It's like playing League of Legends; even if you know the hero's skill descriptions by heart, it's not as good as actually playing a couple of games with them.

There is ultimately a gap between theory and practice.

"Like?"
