In the high mountains where clouds kiss the sky, the winds whisper of a love once lost to time. Adeptus Y/N, a fox spirit of nine sacred lives, returns in this one with no memory of the bond that once tethered her soul to another. Reborn yet restless, she walks Liyue's peaks with a heart that aches for something she cannot name - and eyes that always drift to the vigilant guardian of Wangshu Inn. Xiao, the last Yaksha, has known pain beyond centuries. Yet when she appears again - changed but unmistakably hers - he dares to hope. He watches her smile without remembering, reach out without knowing why, and unknowingly follow the steps of an ancient courtship once danced beneath the stars. Gifts imbued with soul, quiet rituals only the adepti recall - and finally, a sunrise reunion atop the world where their souls might bind once more. As lanterns rise and destiny stirs, a story older than stone awakens: of two beings made for one another across lifetimes, drawn together again by threads of moonlight, memory and love. (xɪᴀᴏ x ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ)

What if Xiao wasn't the last Yaksha? What if one of the "dead" Yakshas survived? Karmic Debt. Madness. Could anyone possibly survive that? The answer is yes. Two people could. The Conqueror Of Demons and you. What really happened? Find out. *DISCLAIMER* -this is my FIRST book so bear with me! -all the characters in this book, except for [Y/N], belong to HOYOVERSE -there may possibly be grammar mistakes/typos in this book so feel free to correct me! -in this book [Y/N] will use GENDERNEUTRAL pronouns -this book will contain blood and violence -in this book I will make an AU where the adepti are just friends/co-workers!! cover art: HOYOVERSE / Genshin Impact started: 06/06/2022 finished: 08/07/2022

"I have... Been through a lot." Lumine frowned. "'A lot' seems to be a gross understatement. You're like a walking ball of trauma. Being enslaved and tortured for decades and then losing your whole family and then fighting this endless war, alone, seems to qualify as more than 'a lot.' Maybe more like 'constant suffering.'" "I have a contract, and it's my duty and my honor to fulfill that contract. Even now that you defeated Osial, it's still my job to defend Liyue from the demons that plague it." Xiao rubbed his Vision between two fingers. "I'm the last defender in this invisible war." "Hm." Lumine sighed and rested her chin on her palm, looking up at Xiao with big honey-yellow eyes. "Then who will defend you?" ◊ An interpretation of where the story of Adeptus Xiao begins, what he went through before our time, and where he will end up. Cover art by @tyabasirakk on Twitter

*under editing* 53 % finished. Being special, Y/n had been taken in by the Geo Archon. She met the adepti, including one guy whom she got closest to. Y/n was able to completely eradicate Xiao's pain as long as she simply stood nearby him, due to this, she became his companion. But soon enough... companionship was not enough for them... - "You make me feel at peace", said the young adeptus as he laid his head in her lap. - (This book is a reader insert so we will be following the story line.) WARNING/DISCLAIMER: - Spoilers (for new players atleast) - Cursing/swearing - Mentions of mature themes - Genshin Impact is owned by Hoyoverse. - I do not own Y/n, you do.

Xiao, the Guardian Yaksha that serves for Rex Lapis was conquering demons on the West mountain. That seems to connect to the heavens and stars. And there lives a goddess of mighty power. Their encounter, will it change how they'd see each other? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {There WILL be some mistakes in the story, and I'll be fixing them from time to time.} Xiao x Reader (Female she/her pronouns) "𝓸𝓱 𝓭𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓶𝓮."
