Genshin Impact: I'm just a mortal

Chapter 228: Chapter 227: Compensation



Without saying a word, just with a glance, Yu Xie immediately recognized who the little fox was.

On the windowsill bathed in moonlight, the adorable little fox looked at Yu Xie, its eyes seeming to hold a lot of meaning.

"You said you'd come to my room to find me, but you didn't say you'd come looking like this," Yu Xie sat up and laughed.

"You've never seen me like this before, right?" Kitsune Saiguu replied.

"To my knowledge, no. Not sure if I've seen you like this in a past life."

Kitsune Saiguu smiled but didn't answer. She lightly tapped her feet, gracefully leaping and landing on Yu Xie's bed.

She immediately snuggled under the covers, lying down beside him, and said,

"Can I sleep here for the night?"

Yu Xie looked at Kitsune Saiguu, who was in the form of a fox, hesitating for a moment before nodding.

"Alright."

The atmosphere did make it hard to refuse, and besides, he did owe her some compensation. Although it was said in the heat of the moment, the words had already been spoken.

Afterward, the room fell into silence.

Yu Xie didn't speak, and neither did Kitsune Saiguu in her fox form. She lay quietly beside him, watching him.

Since she was in the form of a fox, Yu Xie felt no psychological burden, and as fatigue gradually took over, he closed his eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

Kitsune Saiguu, however, stayed awake for a long time. In her fox form, she kept her gaze fixed on Yu Xie, her beautiful eyes blinking occasionally, and the corners of her mouth held a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

It wasn't until the night outside deepened that Kitsune Saiguu finally fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, the morning sunlight streamed into the room, and Yu Xie woke up.

He slowly opened his sleepy eyes and, upon seeing the beauty beside him, immediately became fully awake.

Kitsune Saiguu had long since returned to her human form, no longer a fox, and the ears on her head twitched slightly.

She lay on the other side of the bed, looking at Yu Xie with elegance and beauty, a faint smile on her lips.

"You're awake. How did you sleep last night?"

"Pretty well," Yu Xie answered.

"I didn't sleep too well," Kitsune Saiguu said with a knowing smile, "You touched me last night."

"What?" Yu Xie exclaimed, suddenly sitting up in bed.

Seeing his reaction, Kitsune Saiguu's smile widened, and there was a hint of bashfulness in it.

"I was just lying next to you, sleeping, and then your hand suddenly reached over, touching a place that's a bit hard to mention."

These words made Yu Xie's eyes widen even further, though he was skeptical about Kitsune Saiguu's claims.

He had never been the type to move around recklessly in his sleep.

"Did I really touch you?" Yu Xie asked, after a brief pause for thought.

"Yes, who knew that when you sleep, your hands can be so... restless," Kitsune Saiguu answered with a soft smile.

"Then why didn't you wake me up?"

"Well... when I turned into my fox form, being touched by you actually felt quite comfortable, so I didn't want to wake you up."

"..."

Yu Xie didn't expect that Kitsune Saiguu wasn't joking this time.

She lay there with her hand propping up her cheek, her brows and the corners of her mouth filled with a gentle smile. At that moment, the miko outfit on her shoulders slid down just enough to reveal her fair shoulder and neck.

"Let's get up first..." Yu Xie sighed softly, his tone slightly helpless.

......

After breakfast, there was some good news.

The negotiations between the Shogunate and Watatsumi Island were progressing well. If everything went smoothly, the war should come to an end soon.

Upon hearing this news, Yu Xie went to a corner of the courtyard, looked in the direction of Watatsumi Island, then toward the direction of the Tenshukaku, and smiled with satisfaction.

After all, the outcome was a good one.

Kitsune Saiguu had gone to the Grand Narukami Shrine, Shenhe was meditating alone, and Rosalyne was probably in her room, not having gone out. So, Yu Xie found himself wandering alone in the courtyard, admiring the rock formations and plants.

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground reached his ears.

Following the sound, he saw the graceful figure of Rosalyne walking toward him slowly.

"Rosalyne," Yu Xie greeted.

"Yu Xie, do you have time right now?" Rosalyne stopped in front of him, seeming to have something on her mind.

"I have time. What's up?"

"There's something I want to say to you." Rosalyne paused, looking a bit hesitant.

"Just say it directly, no need to overthink," Yu Xie said, noticing her hesitation.

"Mm." Rosalyne nodded. "I mentioned before that once this period of turmoil is over, I'd like to go back to Mondstadt for a while... I'm wondering if you'd be willing to come with me?"

The invitation came quite suddenly, and Yu Xie was momentarily stunned.

In fact, he hadn't been to Mondstadt in this life yet, and if given the chance, he certainly wanted to visit.

The symbol of Mondstadt's heroes, Starsnatch Cliff, Wolvendom, the crystal-clear Cider Lake, and the bustling Mondstadt city—he wanted to see all these places.

However, after thinking for a moment, Yu Xie couldn't give an immediate affirmative response.

"Rosalyne, if it's possible, I'd certainly have no problem with it. But the timing might not work out perfectly."

"Mm, I understand," Rosalyne immediately replied. "Don't worry about it, I'm fine either way."

Yu Xie didn't speak further, just offering a smile in response.

At that moment, a miko hurriedly walked through the courtyard.

Seeing the miko's anxious expression, Yu Xie couldn't help but ask.

"Miss Miko, is something happening?"

"Lord Shogun is looking for Lady Kitsune Saiguu. I'm going to inform her," the miko replied.

"Kitsune Saiguu went to the Grand Narukami Shrine. Didn't you know?"

"Ah! How could I forget? I'll go back and report to Lord Shogun right away." The miko was startled.

"No need," Yu Xie said. "I'll go. I'll inform the Shogun myself."

"No, no, you're a guest. How can I trouble you?"

"Don't worry about that. I was just about to see the Shogun myself, so I'll go." Yu Xie said with a smile.

The miko hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright then, the Shogun is in the main hall."

"Got it. You go ahead and take care of other things."

"Thank you," the miko said with a slight bow, then turned and left.

Yu Xie and Rosalyne exchanged a glance. "Do you want to come with me?"

Rosalyne hesitated. "I think I'll pass. It might be a rather awkward situation."

"Alright, I'll go ahead then." Yu Xie said, not saying much more.

"Mm," Rosalyne smiled gently and nodded.

Watching Yu Xie's figure gradually fade into the distance, Rosalyne's expression still seemed tinged with a hint of regret. However, she was already content with the current situation.

To be able to meet Yu Xie again was more than enough; what more could she possibly ask for?

"Yu Xie, if you ever want me to wear a wedding dress and stand before you, I would do so without hesitation."
