Genshin Impact: I Opened Blind Boxes in Liyue

Liyue Harbor, the Jade Chamber loomed high above, its golden light enveloping Yujing Terrace.

The square was packed with people, all gazing skyward with reverence, awaiting the start of the annual Rite of Descension.

On the high platform, Ningguang, dressed in a luxurious gown, raised the jade seal with solemnity. Her voice echoed clearly across the square—

"Rex Lapis, the revered deity of Liyue, may this offering find favor in your eyes."

At this moment, the entire square fell silent. All eyes were fixed on the divine statue placed at the center of the platform.

According to tradition, Rex Lapis, Morax, would descend to deliver a divine oracle, responding to the prayers of the Liyue Qixing and its people.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred—!

Just as everyone held their breath in anticipation, the sky suddenly darkened, and a golden figure plummeted from above!

*Boom—!*

The figure crashed heavily onto the offering platform, sending dust and debris flying.

"What... what's happening?!"

The crowd erupted into chaos, people backing away in fear.

As the dust settled, everyone finally saw the figure lying on the platform—

It was the dragon form of Rex Lapis!

Even more horrifying, the divine body showed no signs of life, and golden blood seeped from between its scales.

The god of Liyue had been... assassinated in front of everyone?!

**Panic Spreads, the Qixing in Disarray**

The entire Liyue Harbor fell into a deathly silence.

Then, screams, gasps, and cries of panic filled the air, and the scene descended into chaos.

"The Archon... the Archon has been assassinated?!"

"How is this possible?! Who would dare kill a god in Liyue?!"

Ningguang, the Tianquan of the Liyue Qixing, paled and stood up abruptly, her sharp gaze scanning the surroundings.

"Quick! Seal off Yujing Terrace! No one is to move without permission!"

In an instant, the Millelith swarmed the square, swiftly surrounding the entire ceremonial area.

Down below, Lumine stared in shock at the fallen Archon, her mind racing with questions.

Paimon was equally stunned. "Wh-what the heck?! Rex Lapis is dead?! How is that possible?!"

Meanwhile, at the back of the crowd, Ling Feng watched the scene unfold, his lips twitching as he muttered four words—

"Time to stir the pot."

**The Millelith Lock Down Liyue Harbor, Lumine Becomes the Prime Suspect**

The atmosphere in Liyue Harbor took a sharp turn, and panic spread rapidly.

The Millelith mobilized in full force, securing all major streets and preventing anyone from entering or leaving the harbor.

With the death of Liyue's god, the Qixing were determined to find the culprit!

And as fate would have it, Lumine, who had been standing at the scene of the Archon's fall while holding the "Adepti Communication Talisman," became the prime suspect!

A Millelith captain barked, "Traveler Lumine! You were present at the scene of the Archon's assassination! You will cooperate with our investigation!"

Paimon immediately protested, "Hey, hey! Don't wrongfully accuse her! How could Lumine possibly kill Rex Lapis?!"

But the Millelith's stern gaze made it clear they wouldn't easily accept any explanation.

Lumine frowned, clenching her fists.

The real question was, who was the true assassin?

Why had Rex Lapis suddenly fallen?

Was this an accident, or had it been planned all along?

**Ling Feng's Observation: This Pot, I Won't Carry!**

While everyone else was in a state of panic, Ling Feng stood quietly in a corner of the crowd, calmly observing the situation.

He knew full well that Lumine couldn't be the assassin, but the problem was, this incident was far more complicated than he had anticipated.

With the death of Liyue's god, the Qixing would spare no effort to uncover the truth.

And Ling Feng also knew—

In times like these, it was crucial not to say anything careless, or else he might find himself inexplicably burdened with the blame!

With this in mind, Ling Feng quietly took a step back, planning to retreat to his blind box shop for some tea and to watch the drama unfold.

However, just as he turned around, he heard a familiar voice beside him—

"Boss Ling Feng, do you have anything in your blind boxes that could help me out of this mess?"

Ling Feng turned to see Lumine standing close by, her eyes filled with expectation.

Paimon whispered, "Hehe, we know your blind boxes can give out amazing things! Maybe something can clear Lumine's name!"

Ling Feng: "..."

What do you people think my blind boxes are?! Some kind of cheat code?!

But seeing the determination in Lumine's eyes, Ling Feng thought for a moment, then sighed. "Alright... let's take a gamble."

He pulled out a golden blind box from his system and handed it to Lumine.

"This blind box might give you something to help you escape."

"Of course..." Ling Feng shrugged, his smile cryptic. "It might also give you something even more... exciting."

Lumine gritted her teeth, took the blind box, and took a deep breath—

"Let's gamble!"
