Fenghuang's Legacy || Genshin Impact Fanfic

Identity (40)

"You.."

"You're not the young one, are you?"

"What do you mean? I'm your 'old friend'~★"

"Did you forgot, Miss Cloud Retainer?"

Yan Hao looked at her with a sadistic-like smile.

She sighed, "The young one does not address oneself or any as 'old friend', nor he chose to say such title to any"

"Tch" He clicked his tongue.

The Adepti, Cloud Retainer stood there as she stares at Yan Hao, who sat on the porch.

She noticed a sudden change in the surrounding aura, and decided to see the source of the change.

Then, she sees Yan Hao; controlling Atlas's body with a familiar aura.

To be exact, it's Fenghuang's aura.

However, she's too smart to be fooled by this, and confronted him head on.

"What a mere copy of the young one, this shall not be allowed within the Natural Order" She spoke.

"Natural Order? What are you getting at here, bird?" Yan Hao mocked her.

"Hmph, shouldn't the shadow knew about the Natural Order? Or is it perhaps is just a mere copy yet, does not share the same enlightenment?"

"Oh my, so you're calling me stupid now? Ahaha!"

Yan Hao laughed at her response form his mocking.

"Many oneself of the higher ground should know about the Natural Order, those that applies such matter as conscience and mind should be known by them"

"All of you really speaks in a very wordy and riddling way, huh"

"Oh well, that's right! Of course, I know about it.."

"I always knew about it~"

He gave Cloud Retainer an innocent smile as if his actions are normal.

Though, she could see that he too..

Has doubts about his own existence.

"Then, explain your attendance in this mortal realm, penalty for destroying the Natural Order's rule of the dead and consciousness are a hefty one" Cloud Retainer spoke, toughening her voice.

Yan Hao thought about it for a while, then he shrugged.

With a creepy grin and cheery voice, he spoke.

"Who knows~?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"..."

"Hm~?"

In the end, Cloud Retainer dragged him to Moon Carver.

The deer Adepti stared at Yan Hao, examining him.

"How does it seems like, Moon Carver?" Cloud Retainer spoke, breaking the silence.

Moon Carver responded to her, "Indeed, he is not the young one nor the original host, most likely a different sentience, but it does not goes over the barrier of the Natural Order"

"Hee~ That's good to know" Yan Hao smiled.

He continued, "You sure do always have a keen eye with this thing-"

"However, you are a mere shadow"

"Oh my, what do you mean by 'shadow'? I'm very confident that I am the real one.."
