**Chapter 46: Please Don't Look at Me Like That**
Qiqi was light, and apart from a slight chill, holding her was effortless.
After using *Chihayaburu* twice in succession, Fang Xun used the wind currents to leap high into the air.
From his vantage point, he scanned the Jueyun Karst for Ganyu's figure.
In truth, Fang Xun didn't need to search deliberately. After flying west for a short while, he clearly heard the twang of a bowstring, the whiz of an arrow, and the roars of demonic creatures.
Soon, he spotted Ganyu standing atop an easily defensible plateau.
At her feet, a swarm of adult Rock Drakes had gathered, their numbers overwhelming, surging forward like a tide that threatened to engulf everything.
From Fang Xun's high perspective, it looked as if the very earth was being devoured by the Rock Drakes.
At the same time, he noticed that the creatures were emitting thick, black smoke, their eyes burning with madness. They had lost all reason, attacking Ganyu with unrestrained ferocity.
Sensing that Ganyu might need his help, Fang Xun flew toward her position.
Naturally, Ganyu spotted Fang Xun and Qiqi flying in her direction.
She had initially wanted Fang Xun and Qiqi to stay away, believing she could handle these Rock Drakes alone.
However, the Rock Drakes' attacks were too relentless and ferocious, forcing Ganyu to retreat while fighting.
Facing the onslaught of multiple Rock Drakes, Ganyu remained calm and agile, skillfully dodging their strikes.
More importantly, she calmly sought opportunities, using the terrain to her advantage and firing arrows to counterattack.
Many only knew Ganyu as Liyue's top secretary,
unaware that she was also a survivor of the Archon War.
This meant her combat prowess was not to be underestimated.
Ganyu drew her bow, and a thick stream of Ice Element gathered at the arrow's tip.
In the next instant, the arrow shot forth, piercing through the closest Rock Drake's body.
Even these enhanced creatures couldn't withstand a single Frostflake Arrow from Ganyu.
As a half-Immortal, Ganyu was more than capable of handling these ancient Rock Drakes.
Yet she still faced a challenge:
while she could kill one Rock Drake with a single arrow,
the adult creatures moved too quickly.
Combined with their burrowing and leaping abilities,
this made it easy for Ganyu's arrows to miss their mark.
*If only I could freeze them,* Ganyu thought with a sigh.
She could only wield Ice Element power, and to achieve a freezing effect, she needed the cooperation of Water Element. But at this critical moment, where could she possibly find Water Element?
Just then, Fang Xun and Qiqi landed smoothly on the same level as Ganyu. During their flight, Fang Xun had noticed her predicament. To stop the agile Rock Drakes, the best method was to create a Permafrost Flow through Elemental Reactions.
The Permafrost Flow involves continuously applying both Hydro and Cryo to demonic creatures, causing them to freeze repeatedly. In the game, Ganyu would typically need Mona to achieve this effect. Ganyu's Elemental Burst continuously applies Cryo, while Mona's Elemental Burst continuously applies Hydro—a perfect synergy.
Since Fang Xun had recently acquired Mona's Elemental Burst, he could perfectly substitute for her, working with Ganyu to achieve the Permafrost effect.
"Miss Ganyu, perhaps I can help alleviate some of the pressure."
As he spoke, magic circles rose beneath his feet.
The magic circle now radiated a dazzling light, and starlight patterns emerged around Fang Xun.
Bright, pure white starlight danced, illuminating the entire Jueyun Karst with its radiant glow.
In the next moment, the sky transformed.
Rain poured down, splashing against the ground and soaking both Ganyu and the demonic creatures.
Ganyu was momentarily surprised.
She hadn't expected Fang Xun to wield not only the Ice Element but also the Water Element.
Throughout Liyue, and even the entire Teyvat Continent, she had never heard of anyone simultaneously wielding two elemental powers.
It was truly extraordinary.
Moreover, Ganyu could clearly sense something special about the skills Fang Xun was using.
The rain falling on her body felt neither cold nor damp, but rather carried an indescribable warmth.
She could distinctly feel that under the amplification effect of Fang Xun's skills, the dormant power within her was being awakened.
It felt like the same power the Immortals had bestowed upon her years ago.
Wasting no time on contemplation, Ganyu focused on the immediate threat of the demonic creatures.
"Like jade falling from the heavens."
Raising her hand, Ganyu sent an Ice Spirit Pearl into the sky—her Elemental Burst, "Heavenly Shower of All."
In an instant, the sky rained down a mixture of water and ice shards, alternating in their descent.
The Rock Drakes, darting wildly in all directions, froze in place the moment they were simultaneously struck by both ice and water elements.
With their erratic leaps suppressed, the Rock Drakes became easy targets in Ganyu's eyes.
She raised her bow and loosed arrow after arrow, each shot clean and decisive, never missing a demonic creature's weak point.
Fang Xun and Qiqi also joined the fray.
Little Qiqi, wielding the axe she'd used for chopping wood earlier, unleashed the Yunlai Ancient Sword Art.
Despite her small stature, Qiqi's explosive strength shattered the frozen Rock Drakes with ease. She darted through the creatures, her short legs carrying her swiftly through the chaos.
Meanwhile, Fang Xun used two stages of Chihayaburu to gather the adult Rock Drakes together, allowing Ganyu to eliminate multiple foes at once.
Their coordination was seamless.
Ganyu felt an unprecedented sense of ease. With Fang Xun corralling the monsters, her accuracy soared.
In the blink of an eye, all the rampaging Rock Drakes had been annihilated.
"Miss Ganyu, are you alright?" Fang Xun asked, holding Qiqi in his arms as he approached her.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fang Xun. I... I'm alright," Ganyu said, shaking her head gently. "Today, I'm truly grateful for your help."
"With your assistance, my workload has been significantly reduced."
If Ganyu had been alone, she could have certainly handled the Rock Drakes, but it would have taken considerable time and energy. With Fang Xun and Qiqi's help, the task had been accomplished twice as efficiently.
At that moment, Ganyu noticed a trace of blood on Fang Xun's wrist.
She instinctively exclaimed, "Mr. Fang Xun, your hand seems to be injured!"
Fang Xun looked down and saw a faint trickle of blood seeping through his sleeve. It must have been from the ice shards that had flown when he used *Chihayaburu* to gather the demonic creatures.
However, it was nothing serious—just a minor scratch that didn't even hurt.
If Ganyu hadn't pointed it out, Fang Xun wouldn't have even noticed.
He chuckled lightly. "Miss Ganyu, this little scratch is nothing. It'll probably heal by the time we're done here."
Ganyu immediately shook her head. "That won't do. Any wound needs proper care."
"Besides, these demonic creatures are all tainted. I'm worried the corruption might infect your body, so we must take this seriously."
As Ganyu spoke, she pulled a pristine white handkerchief from her clothes. She knelt down and carefully began bandaging Fang Xun's wound.
The innocent Ganyu's thoughts were simple: Fang Xun had been injured while helping her. If anything happened to him, she would carry the guilt for the rest of her life.
Fang Xun found this somewhat amusing, thinking Ganyu was being a bit over the top. The wound was so minor that he didn't even think a band-aid was necessary. But since she had already started bandaging it, he let her continue.
He stood still, cooperating with her efforts. This brought them close enough that Fang Xun could detect a faint fragrance emanating from Ganyu. It smelled like a refreshing balm, yet also like sweet blossoms—clearly, she must have a fondness for floral scents.
At that moment, Fang Xun's attention was drawn to a strand of hair sticking up from the top of her head. The strand bobbed up and down with each of Ganyu's movements, looking utterly adorable.
"Mr. Fang Xun, it's all done," Ganyu said, looking up to speak with him.
She was surprised to find him staring intently at the top of her head.
Ganyu instinctively took a step back, quickly raising her hand to cover her horns.
Her pretty face flushed crimson as she shyly said, "Please... don't look at me like that."
*Some people die, but not completely...*
After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly sat up in bed.
He gasped for fresh air, his chest heaving.
Confusion, bewilderment, and a surge of emotions flooded his mind.
*Where am I?*
He instinctively scanned his surroundings, growing more bewildered.
*A single dormitory room?*
Even if he'd been rescued, he should be in a hospital ward.
And his body... how could it be completely uninjured?
With growing suspicion, his gaze swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror above the bed.
The mirror reflected his current appearance: a handsome young man, around seventeen or eighteen years old.
But the problem was, this wasn't him!
His former self had been a handsome, distinguished young man in his early twenties, who had been working for a while.
But now, his appearance clearly made him look like a high school student...
This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
*Don't tell me the surgery was a success...*
His body and face had both changed. This wasn't a matter of surgery anymore; it was an Immortal Technique.
He had completely transformed into another person!
*Could it be... I've transmigrated?*
Besides the mirror on the bedside table, which was clearly placed in a feng shui-challenged location, Shi Yu also discovered three books beside it.
When he picked them up and read the titles, he fell silent.
The Essential Beast-Raising Manual for Novice Keepers
Post-Natal Care for Pet Beasts
A Guide to Evaluating Exotic Beast-Girl Ear Types
Shi Yu: ???
The first two titles were somewhat normal, but what was with the last one?
"Ahem."
Shi Yu's gaze sharpened, and he reached out, but his arm froze.
Just as he was about to open the third book to see what this thing was, his brain suddenly throbbed with pain, and a torrent of memories surged through him like a tidal wave.
Icefield City.
Pet Breeding Base.
