Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 227 The world where only Wendy is injured has been achieved.

After saying these words, the few tears that had been welling up in Qiuhe's eyes finally rolled down her cheeks. Qiuhe gently raised her arm and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The woman was stunned upon hearing this. "You...you still have family?" Qiuhe shook his head gently, a look of sadness on his face. Seeing this, the woman's shock subsided.

Just now, the lady was thinking that the House of Hearths didn't lack children, and although the wicked things Kujavina and the Doctor had done made the lady very unhappy...

But Kujavina wouldn't have so many children to snatch other people's children, would she? "Then, who is the father that Little Lei is talking about?"

Seeing the woman's question, Qiuhe smiled inwardly, "Before joining the Hearth House, my family was in the brewing business."

One day, my parents, my sister, and I went out to pick Cecilia flowers, intending to offer them to the Wind God as usual, hoping that the deity would bless our family.

But in the end…” Qiuhe covered his eyes with his arm as he spoke, gasping for breath, “In the end, after we finished offering sacrifices to the wind god statue…”

On our way home, we encountered a group of thieves. They not only stole all the Mora we had, but they also...they even took my mother's...

At this point, Qiuhe covered her face with her hands, squatted down, and began to cry. "My dad went up to protect my mom, and they... they all rushed up and beat my dad."

Then...they tore at my sister's clothes...I rushed to protect my sister countless times...but...but they also joined in, punching and kicking me.

Finally, to protect my sister and me, my dad forcibly picked us up and ran until he was completely exhausted, then he threw us down and told us to run.

He... stayed behind to fight those treasure-hunting gangs to the death. My father prayed to the Wind God before he died. In the end, my sister and I...

We ran all the way to the statue of Aeolus on Mount Mondstadt, but we were so cold and aching all over that we collapsed there.

Before I fainted, I watched helplessly as the treasure-hunting gang caught up with me... I kept hoping that Lord Wind God would appear, but until the very end...

The Wind God we've worshipped for so long... the Wind God we've offered sacrifices to for so long, ultimately failed to appear... I... the Wind God we've always believed in

Why...why didn't he even glance at us until the very end? Having exhausted all his knowledge, Qiuhe instantly crafted a tragic childhood narrative.

"I'm sorry, Wendy, it was necessary for the plan. I really didn't mean to ruin your reputation. I'll make it up to you properly another time." Qiuhe was thinking this to herself.

Suddenly, he felt a chill creeping into the air around him. He cautiously peeked through a small gap at the ground, only to discover...

At that moment, frost formed on the ground beneath his feet. Seeing this, Qiuhe slowly raised his head and looked at the woman, noticing that she seemed to be frantically suppressing her inner rage.

The ice element within her body was also constantly leaking out; her body was like a giant dry ice block placed under the sun, constantly emitting extremely intense cold air.

Qiuhe knew that playing the victim worked, but he didn't expect it to be this effective. "Beautiful... sister, are you... alright?" Qiuhe asked, feigning innocence and timidity.

Hearing the fear in the young voice, the woman gently closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and forcefully suppressed the icy energy leaking from her body.

Finally, she opened her eyes and stared intently at Qiuhe before her. "So, Xiao Leyi, do you still believe in that so-called Wind God?"

Hearing the woman's question and seeing his cold gaze, Qiuhe hesitated for a moment before putting on a determined look.

"No... I don't believe it." The woman said dismissively. "Speaking so softly, who are you talking to?" Hearing this, Qiuhe gasped for breath.

"No! I don't believe it! If God truly loved His believers, He wouldn't turn a blind eye to their suffering. It is His negligence that has led His believers to their doom."

It is his indifference that has caused his people to suffer such undeserved pain. He... is simply not a qualified god!

Seeing Qiuhe bravely and loudly proclaim these words, the lady smiled with satisfaction.

"Excellent. Little one. Very well said." Hearing and seeing the woman's gentle, satisfied smile and approving tone, Qiuhe felt as if he had never been transported to Teyvat.

The person I feel most sorry for in my life is probably Wendy. The lady then asked again, "So, when does Little Lei plan to leave?"

"When the time comes, I can have someone take you there, so you won't encounter any danger on the way." Qiuhe said in a forced, resolute tone after hearing this:

"Thank you, beautiful sister. But, Leyi has grown up now. We can both use weapons. We can fight and defeat wild Hilichurls."

Leyi will become stronger. I will also protect my little sister. No matter what dangers we encounter in the future, I will definitely overcome the difficulties and grow up happily with my little sister.

Before that, I will never fall. Pretty sister, please don't worry. Leyi will definitely be alright. Leyi will definitely come back safely.

Hearing that strong yet innocent tone, the lady was delighted and gently stroked Qiuhe's head. "Alright. Then, your sister will look forward to Xiaoleyi..."

"Come back soon." After telling the lady that he would be leaving the day after tomorrow, Qiuhe returned to the fireplace house. The lady then said she had to go out for a while.

At first, no one knew what the lady was doing. But soon after, she returned to the fireplace house with a fairy tale book and spent a long time telling the children fairy tales.

Finally, when the woman finished telling the story and put the book down to look at the children, she realized that most of them had fallen asleep.

Only the members of Kreeway and Tian Yaochen's teams, along with Qiu Shanshan and Si Naqi, were still awake. "Tsk..." The woman was also somewhat puzzled.

"Is this story really that boring?" Seeing the woman's puzzled look, Qiu Shanshan explained, "What happened yesterday scared everyone."

Most of the children at the Hearth House hadn't slept well, which is why they fell asleep from exhaustion. It wasn't that the lady's stories were boring.

Hearing Qiu Shanshan's explanation, the lady suddenly realized what had happened. She recalled hearing from some fools in the House of Hearths the day before that an ice servant had been smashed to pieces, his limbs severed and blood splattered everywhere.

Just imagining the scene, the woman understood that it would indeed be somewhat bloody for a group of children. She glanced at the clock; it was already noon.

Finally, the woman slowly stood up. "Alright. Let these little ones sleep here for now. Xiao Chunqing, put this book away."

I'll tell you another story next time it's story time. You must be hungry by now. You all come and eat first. The other children can eat later, after they've had enough sleep.

After the woman finished speaking and put down the storybook, she started to walk out of the room. "Sister, wait a moment," Qiu Shanshan called out to her.

She stopped and turned to look at Qiu Shanshan, who had her hands behind her back. "What's wrong, Xiao Chunqing?" Qiu Shanshan approached the woman with a smile. "Sister Madam..."

"Could you please close your eyes for a moment? Chunqing has prepared a surprise for you, ma'am." Hearing this, the lady smiled with interest and gently closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Qiu Shanshan slowly took out a wreath woven from red plum blossoms that she had hidden behind her back. Just as Qiu Shanshan was about to place the wreath on the lady's head...

He discovered that even when he stood on tiptoe, his hand only reached the woman's lips. At this point, Qiu Shanshan jumped twice more, and although the height was sufficient,

But she couldn't quite control the angle, and hearing what sounded like Qiu Shanshan bouncing around in front of her, the woman chuckled softly. "How about I crouch down, sister?"

"Hmm, no need, Xiao Chunqing can reach it." Watching Qiu Shanshan jumping around, Tian Yaochen whispered, "Uh... are we just going to watch from here?"

Hearing Tian Yaochen say that, everyone finally realized what was happening. Lily quickly stood up, went behind Qiu Shanshan, hugged her legs, and lifted her up.

Seeing this, Qiu Shanshan smiled gently, "Thank you, Lily." Lily responded with a smile as well. After Qiu Shanshan placed the flower wreath on the lady's head...

He then said, "Alright, ma'am, you can open your eyes now." The lady slowly opened her eyes, and as she did, what came into view was...

It was Qiu Shanshan's reflection in the small mirror, wearing a red plum blossom wreath on her head.
