Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 135: Ch : Subordinates aren’t allowed to defy their superior

Chapter 135 - Ch 135 : Subordinates aren't allowed to defy their superior

Su Yuan frowned deeply at the scene before him—just as he had feared, the thing he was most worried about had happened...

Changsheng had already been corrupted and controlled by the Eerie.

Speaking of which, Changsheng's true identity was anything but simple...

She was Baizhu's ancestral master, a small white snake capable of speech whom he rescued while searching for the "Herb Lord" in Chenyu Vale.

She also possessed a unique life-saving secret art...

Before he transmigrated, Chenyu Vale had already been released in the game.

Scholars had analyzed it extensively, and all signs pointed to one conclusion—Changsheng's true identity was, in fact, the "Herb Lord" herself...

She once defied the God of Dreams and was cut into three parts as a result...

But her condition was still slightly better than Guoba's.

She had lost her former memories and most of her power, but she still retained her consciousness and could speak...

In the World Quest from Chenyu Vale, Fujin had also said that she wanted to visit Liyue Harbor, to see those lovely people—and to meet the Herb Lord...

"She lost her ten fingers for picking tea, and along with them, the memories of a past life."

It was now almost certain—Changsheng was the Herb Lord.

And now that she had been corrupted by the Eerie, she would be no easy foe to deal with...

Seeing the clearly hostile "Chongyun" approaching, "Changsheng" showed no signs of panic.

She turned to Baizhu and spoke slowly:

"I had originally planned to keep pretending a while longer, but now that the enemies have come knocking..."

"Baizhu, let me slaughter everyone in Liyue Harbor and transfer all of their life force into you—so you can truly achieve immortality!"

In the next moment, "Changsheng" turned her head, her pitch-black and crimson eyes locking onto the charging Chongyun.

Suddenly, Chongyun's movements slowed drastically...

"What's wrong? Those aging, worn joints making it hard to move?"

"Despicable tactics..."

"Chongyun" muttered through gritted teeth, clearly frustrated—but his speed had indeed dropped...

Then, all of a sudden, "Chongyun" clutched his stomach and dropped to one knee, pain twisting his expression.

"How does it feel to have accidentally ingested a herbicide? Stomach cramping? Dizzy? Seeing stars?"

"Changsheng" glared viciously at "Chongyun" as she spoke:

"I want you to fully taste the pain Baizhu once went through!"

"And then, hand over all your life force—every last drop!"

Right after, Chongyun's skin began to visibly wither and age at a rapid pace...

Su Yuan stared at the scene in despair.

So this is how powerful a corrupted Changsheng really is...

And even more terrifying—she was still in an incomplete state, yet already this strong...

If the Eerie managed to corrupt any of the ancient adepti while they were at full power... just how devastating would that be?

A chilling thought crossed Su Yuan's mind—what if Zhongli, Cloud Retainer, and Madame Ping weren't victims of some unforeseen accident...?

What if they had willingly sealed away their powers and memories to prevent their Eerie-corrupted selves from becoming a threat to Liyue?

As Baizhu felt the overwhelming surge of life force being drawn into his body, he couldn't hold back and shouted:

"Changsheng! What are you doing again?!"

"Just as you see, and just as you feel, Baizhu..."

Changsheng spoke slowly:

"I merely extracted all the life force from his body, bit by bit... and injected it into yours."

"So much rich, potent life force—yet it only extended your lifespan by a few years..."

"And the further we go, the less effective it becomes..."

"That's why we must extract even more life force from others, in order for you to achieve true eternity—true immortality."

Su Yuan watched everything unfold with a sense of helplessness.

He couldn't think of any way Liyue could possibly break free from this situation...

Chongyun's Eerie rule was indeed useful, but his actual combat ability... was honestly a bit lacking.

"Pardon the interruption... We heard about what happened from the neighbors. Please accept our condolences."

Just then, a voice came from outside.

Moments later, Hu Tao and Zhongli appeared at the courtyard gate.

"We're from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Would you be needing our full-service funeral arrangements?"

But the moment she took in the scene before her, Hu Tao's cheerful expression froze—stunned.

She looked at Baizhu, whose neck was tightly coiled by "Changsheng," and at Chongyun, half-kneeling on the ground, barely clinging to life...

What's more, both "Changsheng" and "Chongyun" emanated an eerie, ominous aura...

"Baizhu! What the hell did you do?!"

The next moment, "Changsheng" suddenly cried out in alarm!

"Baizhu!!!"

"Why are you doing this? Why would you go so far as to throw away your own life just to stop me?!"

Everyone was shocked to see that blood had unknowingly begun to drip from the corner of Baizhu's mouth...

"Don't you understand? If you die, our contract will be automatically dissolved."

"And I'll lose my power... and die not long after as well!"

"I know..."

Baizhu spoke slowly, blood pouring from his mouth...

"But only this way... can I stop you..."

As he spoke, Baizhu collapsed to the ground, losing his life.

After Baizhu's death, "Changsheng's" power weakened drastically.

In that instant, Chongyun broke free from her suppression, rushed forward at high speed, and with a single strike—beheaded her.

"Eerie... purged..."

Afterward, the eerie aura around Chongyun gradually faded, and he regained his clarity.

Looking at Baizhu and Changsheng, both lying dead before him, his hands clutching his greatsword began to tremble...

He turned to Su Yuan and asked, "Su Yuan... did I do all this?"

"The one corrupted by the eerie power was Changsheng. The eerie version of you was being suppressed by her..."

"Baizhu took his own life, weakening Changsheng's power, and you struck her down in return..."

Su Yuan explained quietly.

Chongyun's condition for breaking free from eerie transformation... was even simpler than Su Yuan had expected.

As long as there was no more eerie energy around him, he would automatically exit that state?

"Oh my, I didn't expect what was supposed to be just a business job to turn into a buy-one-get-one-free deal..."

Hu Tao looked at the scene before her and slowly spoke:

"And among them was even the esteemed Doctor Baizhu..."

"How wonderful. Without him and his meddling in life-and-death affairs, our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will definitely grow even bigger—step out of Liyue and sweep across all of Teyvat!"

Hearing her words, Zhongli frowned slightly and said,

"Boss Hu, what you just said... seems rather inappropriate."

Su Yuan also felt something was wrong.

Although Hu Tao could be mischievous and quirky, this wasn't the kind of thing she'd say in a moment like this...

"Consultant, you need to remember your place..."

Hu Tao said slowly:

"In the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I am the one in charge. You're just a lowly guest consultant..."

The next moment, Hu Tao suddenly turned around and thrust her hand into Zhongli's chest—an overwhelming eerie force burst forth from her body.

"Subordinates aren't allowed to defy their superior..."
