Genshin Impact: This fireplace house is your graveyard.

Chapter 232 Attack in the Frozen Forest

As Qiuhe spoke, he patted Si Naqi's head, "Besides, even if it happens in the end, there's still the pretty older sister, isn't there?" The lady standing outside the door heard this.

His eyes visibly trembled. "My mother and my beautiful older sister's love for us is genuine. The cruel part of the story won't happen."

We will only grow up happily. Eventually, we'll live our own free lives, going wherever we want. I miss home, I miss my mother, I miss my beautiful older sister.

We came back to visit, brought some new and interesting things for the pretty lady, and then we hugged her tightly and told her everything.

How much we miss her. Ah, I long for that day.” Qiuhe deliberately raised her voice slightly when she said the last sentence.

The woman standing outside the door listened to these words, remained silent for a few moments, then quietly turned and left. Shortly after she left...

Qiuhe gently opened the door, looked at the lady who had already left, and turned to the people inside, saying, "Crevi, Lilis, Nachi, Perovelli..."

"I have some personal business to attend to and will be back soon." Qiuhe said, closing the door behind him. Meanwhile, in a small area located on the eastern foothills of Mount Mansos...

In stark contrast to the rest of Fontainebleau, dense trees were covered in snow and frost, and thick ice blanketed the ground.

The once lush, green hillside was frozen into a massive iceberg, and all the surrounding monsters were frozen into ice sculptures.

Among these monsters, some were in combat, while others, as if they had encountered something terrifying and tried to flee, were already frozen into giant blocks of ice, but it was too late.

At this moment, a Hilichurl Geo Helmet King, exuding a strong Geo elemental aura, stared intently ahead, seemingly facing an enemy who had invaded its territory.

As the Hilichurl King raised its hands and pounded its chest like a gorilla, its Geo element instantly erupted. After a brief charge-up, the Hilichurl King lunged at its enemy.

But before they could even get close, the woman gently waved her arm, and a massive cloud of ice mist swept in like a whirlwind, enveloping the Hilichurl King.

It was instantly frozen into a huge block of ice and fell heavily to the ground. The woman walked towards the frozen Hilichurl King, and slowly raised her hand to place it on the huge block of ice.

Suddenly, cracks began to appear along the woman's palm, and finally, just as the cracks covered the entire block of ice, there was a loud crack.

The ice block that had frozen the Hilichurl King shattered into pieces along with the Hilichurl King inside. The lady remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly opened her delicate lips and exhaled a large cloud of icy air.

Gazing at the beautiful, pure white and icy blue landscape around her, created by the ice elements she had unleashed in her excessive anger, the woman slowly closed her eyes.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to become incredibly quiet, my heart felt enveloped by the clouds in the sky, and my mood was incredibly relaxed and carefree.

Just as the lady was immersed in this soothing and beautiful snow-white paradise, an arrow suddenly flew at high speed from behind her. The lady seemed not to notice it.

However, the fact that the arrow was caught by an ice wall that instantly rose behind the woman reveals that such a sneak attack was utterly childish for her.

The woman slowly turned her head, her eyes opening in an incredibly beautiful and captivating arc, yet also carrying an air of extreme arrogance. And as she turned her head, what came into view...

It was a masked man carrying a bow and arrow, and judging from his height, he appeared to be only a child. The arrow, however, did not cause the woman any harm.

The masked man slowly lowered his bow, then gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, slowly drawing the Tenmoku Kagetsukasa hanging on his body and swinging it into his normal grip.

Seeing this, the woman's eyes gleamed with arrogance, her smile filled with disdain for the people before her. "Taking your anger out on a bunch of lowly, brainless monsters."

The effect is clearly mediocre. You've arrived just in time." The woman's words had barely finished when the masked man's body blurred into two purple shadows and vanished from the spot.

Immediately after the purple light streaked through the air, the masked man appeared behind the woman in an instant, raising his Tenmoku Kagekatana and thrusting it towards her with murderous intent.

At the same time, an extremely sharp ice sword came crashing down from directly above the masked man's head. Just as the ice sword was about to pierce the masked man's head...

The masked man swiftly sidestepped the woman, creating distance, but just as he landed to launch another attack, he discovered he was unable to move.

Looking down, the masked man's feet and legs were frozen in a block of ice, which resembled vines growing from the earth's crust.

The masked man was held firmly in place, unable to break free no matter how much he struggled. When he looked up again, he saw the lady gracefully walking towards him.

Upon seeing this, a surge of energy erupted from the masked man's arm and coiled around the Heavenly Eye Shadow Blade. Just as he was about to unleash this energy,

Two long streams of ice suddenly appeared on either side of him, freezing his hands and feet completely.

The masked man struggled incessantly, but to no avail. The woman had now reached him, and upon closer inspection, the masked man's height...

The mask only reached the woman's lower abdomen. She slowly reached out and removed the mask from the person before her. When the face was revealed, it was a strange child she had never seen before.

He looked to be only a teenager. The woman reached out, pinched the child's chin, shook his head from side to side a couple of times, and finally gave a contemptuous smile.

"You do have a handsome face, but compared to the children in my fireplace house, you're rather repulsive,"

Just as the woman was about to say something more, two tears slowly dripped onto her hand, as she looked directly at the boy's hand.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, her teeth were clenched, and her eyes revealed endless hatred and sorrow. Seeing this, the woman fell silent for a moment.

Finally, with an expression of extreme arrogance and provocation, she reached out and pinched the boy's face. "What am I thinking? Even some random cat or dog on the street wants to assassinate me?"

"You caught me so easily. I thought you had some tricks up your sleeve, hahaha, turns out you really are just a kid." the woman said.

She then began to mock the boy in front of her. After a burst of mocking laughter, the woman slowly drew two fingers from the corner of the boy's face down to his neck.

And leaving a long trail of frost along the boy's face to his neck, the two fingers finally stopping at his throat. "Good boy. Cry if you want to."

After all…” The woman instantly changed her grip on the boy's throat with two fingers. “This… is the last time you'll cry.”

The woman tightened her grip on the boy's throat, but without applying force, her disdainful expression remaining unchanged. "See? I'm a very kind woman," she said.

I'll give you time to finish crying, so cherish it. After you've finished crying, you'll have to go on your way." The woman said this before killing the boy in front of her.

She also constantly manipulated the boy's emotions as a way to release stress, saying, "You lackey of Kujavina, I will never let you go, even if I die!"

The boy gritted his teeth and managed to say those words, but the woman fell silent after hearing them. A few seconds later, the hand that had been gripping the boy's throat slowly loosened.

She looked at the boy with curiosity and asked, "Little one, what did you just say? Do you have a grudge against Kujavina?"

The boy coughed twice, his eyes filled with boundless hatred. "Cough, cough. You, you scoundrels..." He hadn't finished speaking.

The woman slapped him across the face, and a very noticeable handprint slowly appeared on the boy's delicate cheek.

"Since your life is in someone else's hands, just obediently play your lowly role. I'll ask you questions now, so you'll answer them; if I don't ask you anything, you'd better shut your mouth."

"And you'd better give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, your life is worthless." The woman finished speaking and sat back down, while behind her on the ground...

An ice chair slowly rose and solidified, and as the woman sat down and leaned back, a small ice elemental barrier rose from the ground around them.

As the barrier rose and morphed into a semicircle, the two were bathed in its light. "Tell me. What is your relationship with Kujavina?"
