Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 20

Qingyu suddenly chuckled softly, his mask gleaming faintly in the setting sun.

"First, we won't die; second..."

He turned his wrist, and a Mora twirled between his fingers.

"Such a fun welcoming ceremony, it would be a shame to miss it!"

Zhang Chu silently hoisted the thunder hammer onto his shoulder: "I can take this opportunity to try out the newly improved weapon."

"I need Ms. Keqing's autograph!"

Er Kang had barely finished shouting when he nimbly dodged Zhang Chu's warning thunder hammer.

Gu Qian smiled憨厚ly: "Then... I'll go try some of Liyue's snacks?"

The four exchanged a smile, their masks shimmering with a mysterious light in the twilight.

Paimon, hiding behind Luminous, muttered softly, "Traveler, I have a feeling something big is going to happen in Liyue tonight..."

Ying watched the four figures stride towards the harbor with an air of indifference, and sighed helplessly: "Let's go, looks like we'll have to be prepared to clean up this mess."

------

"A warm welcome to the five honorary knights from Mondstadt!"

The sudden cheer plunged the entire dock into an eerie silence.

Just as the glowing zombie was about to draw its weapon, Paimon froze in place, nearly falling from the sky.

The most outrageous thing was the Liyue residents who grabbed stools and rolling pins and were about to rush up – several people crashed into the wall due to the sudden stop, and amazingly, they were flattened into "human-shaped stools" like rubber people, still with angry expressions.

"Oh, I'll go!"

A fishmonger peeled himself off the wall.

"How did I become a bench?"

Keqing's purple twin ponytails moved erratically without wind, and she resisted the urge to facepalm.

Ningguang's information was indeed correct—these four Hilichurls do possess the ability to distort the rules of reality.

Normally, that kind of impact speed would be enough to break bones, but now these people have actually recovered like putty.

Ke Qing cleared her throat, trying to ignore the citizens next to her who were "inflating" themselves from a two-dimensional state back into a three-dimensional one.

"Knights of Honor, welcome..."

She was interrupted by a series of clanging sounds before she could finish speaking.

The four Hilichurls were seen frantically hiding their weapons.

Qingyu was trying to stuff the RPG into the backpack, which was clearly three sizes too small, with the barrel still sticking out.

Various dangerous items kept falling out of Er Kang's trouser legs;

Zhang Chu's thunder hammer got stuck in his belt;

The most ingenious one was Gu Qian, who actually accidentally stuffed a bomb into a pile of balloons belonging to a passing child.

"Ah ha ha……"

Cold sweat seeped from Qingyu's mask.

"Oh, it's just a welcoming ceremony. We thought..."

His voice grew quieter.

Zhang Chu turned to look at Ke Qing, casually tossing the Thunder Hammer to Qing Yu: "Wait, when did we become honorary knights? Isn't Ying the real honorary knight?"

Ke Qing's lips twitched again.

She pulled a gold-embossed letter from her sleeve: "This is a letter from Jean, the acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius."

She unfolded the letter, which, in addition to the formal documents, featured four chibi-style Hilichurl heads drawn in the corner.

"In consideration of the four individuals' 'outstanding contributions' in Mondstadt..."

A gust of wind suddenly blew the letter away, revealing a hastily written note on the back: "[Please, my lords! Just don't let them return to Mondstadt, I'll take any title! —Jane, in a state of inner turmoil]"

Silence fell again.

Er Kang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"So we're officially certified knights now? Does that mean we can..."

"No entry to the women's bathhouse!"

Zhang Chu's thunder hammer struck Er Kang precisely on the head.

Gu Qian, wearing the Thunder King mask, turned to the balloon stall: "Um... anyone want to buy some exploding balloons..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qingyu jumped up and covered his mouth, and the balloon flew away.

Keqing took a deep breath and decided to finish the job quickly: "In short, the four of you now enjoy the treatment of honorary knights; this is your pass."

She handed over four gold-embossed cards, then quickly added more.

"But! What if anything unexpected happens..."

She glanced meaningfully at the citizens who were still rubbing their buttocks.

"The pass will expire immediately."

Qingyu took the pass, and his mask suddenly changed to a smiling expression: "Don't worry, Lord Yuheng! We are the most law-abiding!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud "boom" suddenly came from afar.

Everyone turned to look and saw a pink mushroom cloud rising from a corner of the Jade Pavilion.

"I didn't do that!"

The four of them raised their hands in unison, their movements so precise it looked like they had rehearsed eight hundred times.

However, when the bomb balloon with a smiley face on it exploded in the sky with a "pop," scattering a bunch of colorful sequins, Qingyu, Zhang Chu, and Erkang all pointed at Gu Qian: "He did it!"

"Oh shit!"

Gu Qian was so startled that he almost dropped his Thunder King mask, and he hurriedly caught it.

"You bunch of bastards who betrayed your teammates!"

Suddenly, a three-meter-high flame erupted behind Ke Qing with a "boom," blowing her twin ponytails upright.

Even more terrifying was that the flames actually condensed into the shape of an Eastern dragon, and spewed a fireball at Gu Qian.

"When did Lady Keqing learn fire element?!"

The soldiers of the Thousand Rock Army collectively took three steps back, and one of the new recruits even dropped his spear in fright.

Gu Qian's legs trembled like leaves, and his voice behind the mask was choked with sobs: "I...I'll go fix it right away!"

As he spoke, he pulled out an exaggerated set of repair tools—a welding gun taller than himself, with a "Gu Qian Special" tag hanging on the wrench.

Suddenly, sparks flew from his feet, and the next second, as if he had stepped on wheels of fire, he shot into the sky with a "whoosh".

"Let's go too!"

The remaining three were terrified by Keqing's "Blazing Dragon Eyes." They pulled out rockets, lit the fuses, and rushed towards the Jade Pavilion, leaving behind a series of screams in the air.

Ying and Paimon huddled together, trembling.

Paimon muttered to himself, "Luminous, I suddenly think Dvalin is actually quite gentle..."

Chapter 21 Ruotuo Dragon King

Ningguang stood on the Qunyu Pavilion, nearly crushing the pipe in her hand.

She watched as her Jade Pavilion underwent a magical transformation:

Gu Qian was using his special "all-purpose glue" to repair the eaves that had been blown off—but the glue was so sticky that he accidentally stuck a passing sparrow to a pillar, and now the poor little bird was "closely snuggling" with the decorative stone lion.

"Don't move, don't move, it'll be ready soon!"

Gu Qian spoke to the struggling Tuan Que, but his hand slipped and he spilled the entire bottle of glue.

Now the stone lion, the magpie, and the Thousand Rock Army soldiers who helped have all been transformed into a modern art sculpture.

Qingyu, carrying various cleaning tools, spun around on the deck like a human-shaped top, leaving the floor so shiny that it reflected people's images.

A passing soldier named Qianyan was slid and sent flying.

"How about it?"

Qingyu clapped his hands triumphantly.

"I can't even handle dust at the molecular level... Ouch!"

Before he could finish speaking, he slipped and fell flat on his back because the floor was too slippery.

Zhang Chu's transformation was the most exaggerated.

This Hilichurl thug somehow dismantled several Ruin Guardian power cores, and now the base of the Jade Pavilion is spewing blue flames.

Ningguang gripped the handrail, watching helplessly as her floating palace "whooshed" two nautical miles away, then "squeaked" as it came back to life, its documents flying everywhere.

"Now the speed can reach 300 kilometers per hour!"

Zhang Chu excitedly waved the wrench.

"If we added two more thrusters..."

"No!"

Ningguang squeezed out those three words through gritted teeth, and smoke began to rise from the pipe in her hand.

At that moment, she understood why the leader of the troupe, Jean, had told this group not to return to Mondstadt.

The most amazing one is Er Kang's side.

This water-dwelling knight-errant had somehow become acquainted with Bai Shi, and in front of them lay a row of outfits that would make anyone blush:

"How about this sheer fabric?"

Er Kang was holding a long, almost transparent, golden dress.

"Paired with Lady Ningguang's figure..."
