I'm a male god in Liyue

--

As Ying entered the room, she immediately smelled the calming scent of incense in the air.

This made her feel a little more relaxed.

Xia Zhi was changing the sheets on the small bed. The previous sheet had been used by Xia Zhen and already had a cherry blossom scent.

Although Ying might not care about this, and might even prefer the bed sheet that smells like her sister.

After all, it's quite strange to be a sister-complex creature.

"Shadow, come over here."

"Okay... I'd like to try that kind of aromatherapy massage."

"Your sister recommended it?"

"Yes."

"I knew it, I should take off my yukata first."

"Ah."

Ying quietly unbuttoned her bathrobe.

Xia Zhi had her lie down, then took out some essential oil and began to massage her.

"How does it feel?"

"My body... feels very relaxed."

"Very well, may I make a small request?"

"Ah."

"Could we bring the general out for a moment?"

"General?"

"Hmm, just like [God Jumps Over the Wall], I think the general should also experience this kind of pleasant feeling."

"I understand."

Ying closed her eyes.

A moment later, she opened her eyes again, looking at Xia Zhi in front of her with a somewhat complicated expression.

Xia Zhi had no interest in what the general was thinking.

At this moment, he was carefully examining the condition of the almost perfect doll under his command.

Since the general is the soul born from this puppet, if there is any problem with the puppet, he can only see the clues when he controls the body.

This is the real reason he made this request.

And the result was just as he had expected.

There is a hidden trick in the puppet, and it is extremely well hidden.

The shadow who obtained the puppetry technology based on that booklet could not be found.

Only Xia Zhi, who had become a master of puppetry, could see it.

Because these are several languages ​​from different worlds, Ying couldn't possibly understand them.

If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this should be a rule he set himself.

And it should have been established before the Shadow established those laws for the General that pursued "eternity," which are also known as the "original laws."

The earlier a rule is established, the more effective it will be for the puppet.

If there is a conflict between different rules, the puppet will follow the earlier rule and will not need to abide by the later rule.

Currently, this initial law set by Xia Zhi is still in a latent state.

It only takes effect after being triggered by a certain secret command.

The secret order consisted of several characters from different worlds...

Xia Zhi lowered his head and said softly, "General."

"Ok?"

The general looked at him and could sense a hint of relief in his tone.

"I declare you free."

After he uttered those words, the general's eyes widened suddenly.

She could clearly sense that the laws that had been binding and punishing her were quietly collapsing.

She seemed to be free from all constraints.

free……

The general felt an indescribable sense of relief, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.

"This, this is..."

Xia Zhi didn't explain for her, but instead asked the same question as before when he asked Ying: "How do you feel?"

"My soul...is very relaxed."

"Very well, may I make a small request?"

"Of course!"

"Then smile."

"Smile?"

The general paused for a moment.

Then, she forced a smile.

Compared to the time she chuckled softly during their conversation in the dream, she appeared more stiff now.

Xia Zhi reached out and helped her widen the corners of her mouth, saying, "Be happier...you look much better this way."

The general remained in that position, looking at him, and suddenly said, "You've gotten all the essential oil on my face."

Xia Zhi wiped her clean and then laughed again.

Even without being taught, the general already knew how to make sarcastic remarks.

This is a great start.

I hope this sister-in-law will be happier in the future.

My cousin suddenly came over and asked me to be her relationship coach or something, so I guess that counts as completing my mission.

After enjoying a massage with essential oils for a while, the general changed back into his shadow.

Logically speaking, the general has already broken free from the constraints of those laws and has enough energy to control this body, so there's no need to rush to replace him.

Perhaps it was because she had just gained her freedom and her mind was still somewhat confused.

This is ultimately a matter between her and Shadow, just like the relationship between Funinaf Carlos. They should discuss how to allocate the time for controlling the body themselves.

Xia Zhi didn't say much, but simply massaged the familiar yet unfamiliar body in front of him.

After the shadow returned, she pondered quietly for a moment before asking, "You said before that the general is free. What did you mean by that?"

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "It means exactly what it says. The general was born to pursue Inazuma's eternity. Now that she's really back, that mission is meaningless. Doesn't she essentially gain freedom?"

Ying frowned slightly: "Although what you said seems to make a lot of sense, I still feel that what you said before was not what you meant."

Xia Zhi asked, "Then what other meaning do you think it might have?"

Ying said seriously, "I don't know, that's why I'm asking you."

That's just Ying's personality; she's very straightforward.

If you don't know, just say so openly and honestly, without any embarrassment.

Xia Zhi actually quite admires this kind of personality.

Perhaps this is because Shen He also has a similar personality.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "If you still have any doubts, go ask the general."

Ying frowned once: "I've already asked the general, but she hasn't answered me at all."

Ying instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Since she created the general, he has never been so silent.

Even just two days ago, when she and the general had a major disagreement over the concept of "eternity," the general never refused to answer her questions.

No matter what question she asked the general, he would give her his answer.

If the general doesn't know the answer to a question, she will give a clear "I don't know" response.

Right now, the general seems to be in some situation that he is unaware of.

Ying thought for a moment and asked, "I remember you called the general to that room in your dream last night. What did you talk about in secret?"

Xia Zhi said, "I just had some doubts about the dolls, so I asked the general to find out more."
