Su Yuan could only hope that Madame Ping had gone to find Xianyun and brought back Shenhe's red ropes…
Otherwise, Shenhe would remain a very unstable factor…
Earlier, when Shenhe asked if he wanted to be her friend, he had refused, and Shenhe didn't insist further…
But just now, Shenhe had unilaterally decided that Yanfei was her friend without Yanfei's consent—and then killed her…
If Shenhe suddenly got the idea of making friends broadly, wouldn't that mean a massacre across all of Liyue Harbor?
Su Yuan decided to keep observing Shenhe for now.
When Madame Ping brought the red ropes, if it was difficult to tie it onto Shenhe or it had no effect, he would try to befriend Shenhe himself, let her kill him, and then trigger a death rewind!
Because he had informed the Millelith Army in advance, Shenhe encountered no one on her way forward.
Shenhe thus walked smoothly all the way out of Liyue Harbor, heading north.
Not long after leaving Liyue Harbor, Su Yuan saw Madame Ping arrive by his side.
"Madame Ping, aren't you worried about just showing up in front of Shenhe so openly? Won't there be problems?" Su Yuan asked.
"Don't worry, child, there won't be any problems," Madame Ping replied with a smile.
"You said that Shenhe only targets family and friends, and I count as her elder, so I'm not within that range.
Su Yuan glanced at Shenhe, who seemed to have no reaction to Madame Ping's appearance, then continued to ask:
"Madame Ping, so what exactly is the situation with Cloud Retainer? Did she give you the red ropes?"
Granny Ping opened her palm and handed a red ropes filled with immortal energy to Su Yuan, saying:
"Cloud Retainer is the same as always, nothing unusual. And she smoothly handed me this new red ropes."
"Su Yuan, from here on, it's up to you. Find a way to get Shenhe to wear this red ropes again!"
"As long as the fierce and ominous energy on her is suppressed, she might be able to recover from the eerie state!"
Su Yuan looked at the red ropes in his hand, then glanced at Shenhe…
What should I do to get "Shenhe" to wear this red ropes?
Should I just walk up to her and say:
"Shenhe, I have a gift for you. Look at this red ropes—such exquisite craftsmanship, so beautiful, it's a perfect match for a gorgeous beauty like you!"
"I really hope you'll put it on for me to see!"
No, no, Su Yuan shook his head, rejecting this idea.
That would be way too strange!
If being gentle doesn't work, does that mean I have to be forceful?
But with just me and Madame Ping's strength, can we really suppress the "Shenhe" who's been corrupted by the eerie power?
Then, in the next moment, Su Yuan suddenly sensed a terrifying aura locking onto him…
He looked up and saw Shenhe glaring angrily at him…
No… more precisely, she was staring at the red ropes in his hand…
"Su Yuan… what do you mean by this???"
Shenhe said furiously:
"I finally broke free from the restraint of the red ropes, and now you bring a new one, trying to suppress my true nature again???"
"Unbelievable!!! Unforgivable!!! Go to hell!!!"
At this moment, Shenhe was like a bull seeing a red cloth, charging angrily toward Su Yuan!
Before Su Yuan could even react, he felt his body pierced and torn apart…
He didn't even know what to say…
Why did Shenhe go into a berserk mode just by seeing the new red ropes?
Am I really going to die like this… and have to rewind from a death save…
Sure enough, next time I have to prevent this before it happens — don't let Shenhe fall into the eerie state…
............
Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
That familiar, heart-pounding feeling seemed to come back a little…
Feeling the sharp pain in the palm of his left hand, Su Yuan knew he had died again…
He raised his left hand and looked at his palm:
[Unfortunately, you have used one death rewind. Currently available rewind times: 2.3]
[You may encounter a Shenhe who is temperamental, hot-headed, and not wearing the red ropes, but please don't show too much surprise to avoid drawing her attention…]
[The true condition for Shenhe's eerie state is when she realizes she no longer has the red ropes tied on her…]
[After turning eerie, Shenhe indiscriminately hunts down and eliminates her blood relatives and friends…]
[Xiangling… Yanfei… both died at Shenhe's hands…]
[If you cannot stop Shenhe's eerie transformation, be cautious about befriending her, or you will provoke her attack…]
[Also, do not take out the red ropes in front of Shenhe, or you will also suffer her assault…]
[Yanfei becomes eerie when she sees criminals who have gone unpunished…]
[But Yanfei's eerie state can be resolved by changing laws or rationalizing the criminal acts…]
[Finally, be careful of Madame Ping…]
Su Yuan stared at the information prompt in the palm of his left hand, lost in thought...
He understood that last time, he probably died at the hands of the eerie state Shenhe...
But what surprised Su Yuan was that the condition for Shenhe's eerie transformation wasn't just the objective fact of the red ropes being untied—Shenhe actually has to subjectively realize that fact?
Could it be because Shenhe has worn the red ropes for so many years, she's already accustomed to the feeling of that solitary fierce energy being suppressed and restrained?
Also, why did the last rule in the prompt warn him to be cautious of Madame Ping?
After all, Madame Ping had saved his life before when he was hurt by Ganyu...
If she had wanted to kill me, she could have just ignored me back then, right?
But since the prompt appeared in the palm of his left hand, Su Yuan didn't dig too deep—after all, occasional unclear or mistaken judgments were possible.
Su Yuan thought to himself that now he didn't even know where to look for Shenhe.
Since the prompt had mentioned Xiangling, he might as well wait at the Wanmin Restaurant—maybe Shenhe would come by soon.
So, Su Yuan headed toward Wanmin Restaurant and was surprised to find an old acquaintance having breakfast there.
"Eh? Zhongli, what a coincidence! What are you doing here?"
Su Yuan had actually been planning to find Zhongli to ask about the current situation of the Azhdaha Geo Dragon Sovereign, so meeting him here at Wanmin Restaurant was quite unexpected.
