Qiuyue - Voicelines
Hello: Hello, mortal. I am Qiuyue. Zhongli sent you to fetch me? Tell the old man that if he wants me there, he can do it himself. I am no adeptus, to come and go at his whim like so. Next time he does this, heā€™s going to find a scorpion in his bed. You want to know my full title? Fine. I am Qiuyue, the Hu Li Shen. You need not know the rest. Is this satisfactory? Good. Run along now, I have much more important business to attend to.
Favorite Food: You want to know my favorite food? Wellā€¦ I am partial to candied walnuts. Why do you wish to know? Youā€™ve never heard of them? Well, that is to be expected. They are a Liyue-only delicacy, as far as Iā€™m concerned. Iā€™m quite busy now, some fools seem to be causing trouble at one of my shrines. If you need anything else, go ask one of my retainers. Now, leave.
Least Favorite Food: Least favorite food? Why would you need to know that? Well, if you insist. I have lived centuries here in Teyvat, and sampled many types of food. Iā€™d have to say my least favorite are those fruits called grapes. I believe they originated in Natlan, which Iā€™d wager is why you havenā€™t heard of them, only having been to Mondstadt and Liyue. Anyways, if you come across them, please donā€™t feed them to any of my subjects. Theyā€™re highly poisonous. Oh, wipe that look off your face! Theyā€™re only poisonous to the fox species, not you mortals! Hobbies: Oh, you want to know my hobbies? I do enjoy a good prank from time to time. If you see him, ask the old man about what Iā€™ve done. He turns pale and wonā€™t speak for a couple hours, which is a refreshing thing. I enjoy it very much. He needs a reminder now and then that Liyue is not all business. Playing with him like this forces it into his thick skull that there are other things to be had in Liyue.
When it rains: Gah, this stupid rain! It leaves my coat thick with water until I can dry myself off! That stupid old man is taking revenge for that time I left that bucket of water on the doorway! When it snows: Oh, seeing these piles of snow reminds me of a fantastic time I had with the old man. He had invited intruders into my domain, promising tall tales of showing them the inside of the Autumn Palace without my permission. I had let some snow in, for the foxes love it. And as the perfect revenge, I decided to tackle the old man into a tall snow pile, leaving him soaked in snow in front of those guests! They ended up leaving the very same day, for the indignity of mine was a shame to behold.
When the sun is out: Oh, what a glorious day! I would do nothing but bask in these golden rays of the sun, if only my duties would allow for it.
When the wind is blowing: Ack! I got a piece of hair in my mouth, itā€™s fine. When I see that old man again, Iā€™ll see how he likes having his hair cut off! Good morning: This is quite a fine morning, is it not? I seem more formal? I apologize, the mornings seep through the cracks and take hold sometimes. Good afternoon: You seem tired, would you like me to perk you up with another story of the old man? Why thereā€™s this one I know of, long before the archon war, of him and Guizhong. Justā€¦ donā€™t tell him I told you this, alright? Guizhong is still a festering wound. Good evening: At this time of night, you can see all the stars in the sky. It must remind you of home, right? It does for me...
Good night: I must be getting back to the Autumn Palace now, who knows what sort of trouble the foxes have gotten into without my gaze upon them. Take care.
About Qiuyue - Godhood: You want to know what it is like to be a god? Why, you yourself arenā€™t that far off, are you not? We gods are not untouchable beings, we can still die, just like you. As an outlander, you must have seen your fair share of beings calling themselves gods, who were not quite there. But as for me it isā€¦ lonely, but rewarding. I do find myself seeking company from time to time, only to watch mere years pass, and them to wither and die. However, I myself do not think I would give up my godhood, if only for the fact that I am quite used to it. It has many disadvantages, and many benefits. It is up to you to decide if it is worth it. Is that not how most things are, though? About Qiuyue - Autumn Palace: You question me about my domain? Iā€™m afraid you will never see its insides. No mortal is allowed inside, and no immortal without my permission. At least, no mortal still alive has seen the inside. Ominous? Why, Iā€™m quite sure I donā€™t know what you mean!
About Qiuyue - Human Form: Oh, youā€™ve only ever seen me in this form, correct? Strange. I know you know of my main form, the nine-tailed fox, for it is the one depicted in temples. This human one, however, is more for the benefit of the mortals around us. It comforts them to see me as one of them, no matter how strange that sentiment is. I do find myself liking this particular human form the most, however. I suppose it seems odd to you.
About Qiuyue - Title: You wish to keep pestering me about my full title? You know, most mortals who continued down this route ended up as statues in my domain, reduced to decoration. ...I do admire this tenacity, however. I suppose, just this once, Iā€™ll entertain you. I am most commonly known as Qiuyue, and the Hu Li Shen, as you know. However, my main domain is Deception, just as Zhongliā€™s is contracts. I am the Fox God, One-Who-Betrays-and-Lies, and the God-Who-Wanders. Although that last title isnā€™t as true now, as it. Zhongli offered me a residence, a shared portion of Liyue, and I couldnā€™t find it within myself to refuse.
About Ningguang: Ningguang.. The Tianquan is very interesting. I find myself impressed with her, Iā€™ll admit. To pull herself up to a position so high is quite an achievement. Even Zhongli was an old god before his position of power in Liyue. She has an odd fascination with me, going so far as to credit part of her abilities to my power. I have given her omens, as the foxes seem quite taken with her, but it was her skill that allowed her to build her career.
About Zhongli: Zhongliā€¦ simply saying the name feels wrong. I much prefer to call him by the title of ā€˜Old Manā€™ if I must refer to him in conversation. I do see why I must address him in this fashion, as to the rest of Liyue Morax is dead. However, I do feel his decision lacked foresight. What will he do, when he never grows old alongside his peers? If he travels, eventually, he will have visited every village, and then where will he go? He will become a myth, an immortal wandering figure shrouded in legend. I doubt he wishes for that, if he wants to lead a mortal life. Maybe these are the consequences of such tumultuous times in Liyue... About Venti: Ah, the bard. He is quite a fun person, no? I do enjoy the moments I spend with him, even if our meetings are far and few. Sometimes he will join me for a good laugh over the topic of the old man. Zhongli often protests that although he looks older, Venti and I are just as old, if not older. We pretend not to hear, even if he knows we have. It makes for quite the entertainment. I do think that the bard could stand to be a little more responsible - stop rolling your eyes at me, I do realize Iā€™m being a little bit of a hypocrite. Iā€™ll admit, living for so long in Zhongliā€™s domain has done something to improve how I behave, particularly seeing as I do have responsibilities to my worshippers. Venti, however, takes and takes, never truly giving back until you arrived. I wonder when itā€™ll catch up to him. About Levin: Levin isā€¦ I wouldnā€™t dare call him close to me, thatā€™s only asking for trouble as it is. I do find him quite amusing, however. He doesnā€™t seem to recognize me as who I am, even though the name Qiuyue is one steeped in history, synonymous with the title of Hu Li Shen. It makes for quite the fun conversations when we stop to talk, for the Liyueans do recognize me. Hopefully, heā€™ll continue to be a source of entertainment. The moment he oversteps his boundaries, howeverā€¦ it would be quite the nuisance to rid themselves of him, but if it must be done, it must be done.
(For context: Levin is my friend's genshin OC.)
About Ganyu: That is Ningguangā€™s secretary, correct? I seeā€¦ she is of adeptus descent, and yet she seems to not fully resonate with it. It is a wonder she can keep up with Ningguangā€™s workload, however, and I do commend her for it. I donā€™t think I have quite enough experiences with her to form a judgement, but I do trust in Ningguangā€™s judgement. Once she becomes curious in adepti affairs, I should keep a closer eye on her. Remind me to do so. About Keqing: I do respect Keqingā€™s opinions on her Archon. Theyā€™re a breath of fresh air in Liyue, where the people seem to be mindless sheep. Although, from what Iā€™ve heard about the aftermath of the battle with Osial, they seem to be forming their own opinions as well. Their archonā€™s death must have really released the fog around their eyes. She seems like one to keep a close eye on, for she is not hesitant in her words about the adepti and gods, although they earn her scorn. About Yanfei: She is a most renowned lawyer in Liyue. Her disposition doesnā€™t seem quite serious enough for a lawyer, yet she shoulders through. Itā€™s almost a conundrum, the way I see it. She reminds me quite a lot of my own foxes. Sly, clever, but behind a cover of mischief and playfulness. Have you seen her in action with her vision? No wonder Murata granted her it - her passion burns as bright as the flames she wields.
About Baal: The Raiden Shogunā€¦ she has certainly changed. I do not concern myself with the affairs of most gods, and yet, she seems to be causing quite the stir within the immortal court. It would be concerning, but I have not yet received any personal disturbance against my domain, so I shall not interfere. Perhaps this is what Zhongli meant when he said that the archons are changing, and Teyvat will soon enter a new period.
About Hu Tao: Hu Tao is quite the fun person! I do visit Zhongli at his work often, so it is natural Iā€™d become acquainted with his newfound ā€˜bossā€™. She seems to take inspiration from a number of things, choosing to continue on with her business although it has taken quite the hit to itā€™s reputation with her eccentric style of advertising. She helps the old man loosen up and enjoy life, and for that I do appreciate her work.
About Xiao: He is quite the unusual adepti. Bound under a contract that limits his suffering, but also his freedom. I did not get to witness his beginnings, and have yet to see what made Mora- Zhongli take him under his wing, but I suppose I must, for once, exercise my patience. Forgive me for the slip in name, it has been difficult adjusting to Zhongliā€™s new identity. Ah, whatā€™s that look for? I do promise that I am not harboring any other motives for a simple slip in name-
About Vision: A vision? I do not harbor one, why would you ask? I am a god, I have my own special set of skills. After all, visions are for mortals who have been given a chance to ascend to Celestia, and by proxy, godhood. I have no need for one.
More about Qiuyue I: I do one day, wish to explore beyond my self-imposed confines of Liyue. It is almost embarrassing to admit this, but I fear for what awaits me on the horizon of adventure. Silly, isnā€™t it?
More about Qiuyue II: For one who knows nothing about Teyvat, Iā€™m surprised you havenā€™t hear it before. An unspoken taboo against killing foxes. You now know why, donā€™t you? As a fox god, I have a sacred duty to protect my own domain. Youā€™re quite lucky to not have killed any. Some travelers have not been quite as blessed in luck, and have ended up very fine statues.
Qiuyueā€™s troubles: Hm? Oh, itā€™s nothing. Well, actuallyā€¦ hey, I promise I wonā€™t make you go on any quests. But it isā€¦ annoying, that the old man decided to retire with no prior warning on my part. Now all of Liyue is looking at me as their next Archon, and I have no wish for that. Iā€™m content with leaving them in the hands of someone else, and staying as a minor god in Liyueā€™s territory. Why wonā€™t they understand that?
Qiuyueā€™s birthday letter: Today I ventured outside of Liyue, back to Mondstadt. It was refreshing to see old friends again, and I should have done it sooner. I took the liberty of introducing one of my oldest friends to my specialty food, but he disagreed with its taste. The audacity! We ended up playing in the woods together, and I might have done a little damage. No worries, he can fix it! Hopefullyā€¦ Anyways, have the rest of the food! I thought you might like it.
Received: Candied Walnuts x1, Dandelion Seeds x10. Travelerā€™s Birthday: Happy Birthday Traveler. I suppose it must mean little to you, as an immortal being like me. The years weigh heavy on a soul who has spent many millennia traveling, only to be tied down with loss. Maybe by your next birthday, Iā€™ll have met your sister. Iā€™m sure she will be just as much of an enigma as you are. To a continued year of existence.

Meet Qiuyue, the God of Deception and Patron of foxes, based off of the Huli Jings in Chinese folklore!
Theyā€™re now my favorite Genshin OC
Iā€™ve made lore
And voice lines
And myths
Iā€™ve fallen down a rabbit hole
And I still have so much inspiration
Help
Iā€™ll probably end up posting more about them

Qiuyue, God of Deception - General Lore
They're a shapeshifter god who loves to play pranks on others. No one knows their real form, but the one they're depicted most as is a golden nine-tailed fox, with red tipped tails.
In Liyue, they're known as a benevolent god, who if appeased properly, will bestow upon the village blessings of wealth. Rex Lapis himself followed this god in establishing Liyue Harbor, leading to a saying in Liyue - "Where there is no fox, there is no village." This is the reason why in most Liyuean villages, you can find a shrine dedicated to the Qiuyue themself.
It is said to be good luck to happen upon a fox spirit, you will be blessed with good luck, prosperity, or power. They are a most auspicious sign.
Besides their fox form, Qiuyue is said to take on the form of a beautiful woman often. (As this form changes often, they are never depicted in statues as a woman, simply a nine tailed fox). They say that Qiuyue knows every type of poison, even those that do not yet exist in this world, can possess others, and steal their memories.
Qiuyue and their fox retainers do not serve a single Archon, but their presence in Liyue suggests some form of contract between them and Morax.
However, it has been made clear that Qiuyue does not consider themselves below Morax, nor above - simply as is.
In archon wars, foxes have never fought for one singular side, instead choosing to hide away in their god's domain - a palace said to be inlaid with gold and jade, brimming with all the riches of the world. In Liyuean history, the palace is known as the Autumn Palace. There has never been a single soul besides a fox or their god that has stepped foot inside this mythical place.
Because foxes only hide away in the Autumn Palace when war approaches, it is a very negative omen when no foxes have been seen for a while.
Their disappearance foreshadows oncoming conflict and battle, and they are rumored to be the reason why Morax came out as the victor in so many wars - presiding in Liyue mainly as they do.
Some Liyueans believe Qiuyue to be the God of Immortality, as well as Deception, and guide those with visions to pray to them if they wish to achieve godhood. However, this has never been confirmed nor denied as truth.
Because foxes are so auspicious in Liyue, killing one is highly frowned upon. The person who did so will not be punished within the law's reaches, no, but there are myths about people who have done so - out of ignorance, anger, or spite - and who have been cursed with misfortune, death, illness, betrayal, and in one specific instance, dehydration/thirst.

The Wasteful Hunter
A Liyue Storyteller cleared his throat, talking to the audience.
"This time, I will tell you tales of the Hu Li Shen, Lady Qiuyue. As you know, Lady Qiuyue is known for their form as the nine-tailed fox, and the domain they hold over other foxes. Well, there was one such person who did not know, and did not respect it."
Long ago, in the 2nd cycle of Teyvat of Rex Lapisā€™s rule, Liyue was not the prosperous harbor it is now.
Rex Lapis, our patron god, and Qiuyue, the Hu Li Shen, had founded Liyue as a small town, with Qiuyue often not being as present as Rex Lapis.
Liyueans like you and me, were aware of both god and archonā€™s domains, as they would strike Liyue to itā€™s core, leading it to become the bustling hub of business and trade that it is.
However, it seems that Rex Lapis had madeā€¦ a small slip-up of sorts. After all, all of Liyue knew of his strength, of his power. He had come out of the archon war victorious, and is that not the reason why he was the next Lord of Geo?
But to some, more ignorant than the rest, they never viewed Qiuyue as Rex Lapisā€™s equal. Although the god and archon could never rest on the same hierarchy of power, for they were entirely separate beings, of different worlds, dare I say, they were equals in each otherā€™s eyes.
However, those who saw Qiuyue as a lesser being, those who spoke words in hushed dulcets that carried throughout Liyueā€¦
ā€œHiding away throughout the war?ā€ One might have said in a mocking tone.
ā€œDeception and trickeryā€¦ a cowardā€™s methods of winning.ā€ Another would respond, eyes glinting.
It was during those times when Qiuyue had not yet proved themselves, although Celestia knows that they would never have to do so to mere mortals, that those whispers flowed in the wind freely.
And this leads me to my story today.
The Hunter, one who originated from a village lost to time, walked with his friends through Qingxeā€™s forests. Laughing loudly, they each proclaimed that theyā€™d be the one to catch the best prize. A competition was proposed. Whoever would bring back the most valuable animal - be it in fur, meat, size, or rarity - would win rights to join the passage to Liyue setting out in a weekā€™s end, and seize the opportunity to live a life of luxury.
For of course, one who knew the worth of the animal they caught, surely must have the eyes for business and trade that Liyue Harbor residents prized so highly. And so they parted ways.
The Hunter ran throughout the forest, mind racing. He was not as smart as his friends, and they mocked him because of it, that was true.
What could one bring to their competition that would prove them wrong?
As he thought, his eyes caught hold of a sight. A fox, with a pure white pelt, with the tip of its tail red, as if itā€™d been dipped in paint.
This would surely win him the competition, The Hunter thought with glee. Without hesitation, he drew back the string of his bow, and fired, killing the fox in one hit.
Maybe if heā€™d paid heed to the state of the forest, he wouldnā€™t have done so. As he walked towards the limp body, he didnā€™t hear the wind halt, the leaves on the trees cease to rustle, the air become stagnant, as if the entire forest was watching him.
He instead picked up the fox, slinging it on his back, before merrily walking back to where the rest of his friends were waiting.
A large boar - ā€œThe largest in the world!ā€ one friend boasted.
Another held up a fish with a single golden scale - ā€œThe only one of its kind, Iā€™m sure!ā€
And the last one showed a single pigeon, having failed to find anything of value.
As The Hunter arrived, he proudly displayed his winnings. His friends all agreed that he was the winner, wondering over the unique coloring of the foxā€™s fur.
And so he was sent off on the journey to Liyue, excited at the prospect of a fortune.
As he did so, he discarded the fox that had won him this off to the side, erasing it from his memory.
Meanwhile, the Hu Li Shen, Lady Qiuyue, watched in anger from the Autumn Palace.
ā€œA fool, who seeks to kill my divine animal without punishment?ā€ Their eyes flashed angrily.
Those who had gathered around them scattered as they turned, visibly angry. A rare sight, for those who knew them as a trickster, but a playful one.
ā€œThis Hunter will never know peace, as long as I will have it! One does not simply think to do so without repercussions!ā€
A smirk graced red-painted lips, one that foretold death and suffering.
ā€œI will see to it that thisā€¦ mortal, will be personally brought to the gates of the Abyss.ā€
The Hunter, meanwhile, had grown quite thirsty under the scorching sun. Calling over another traveler, he had requested for a jug of water.
However, as he brought his lips to it and closed his eyes, he could feel no water trickling down his throat. Frowning in confusion, he lowered it, before looking back in. There was water there, sitting still as if he hadnā€™t just moved it.
He brought his hand to it, cupping the water in his palms to drink, but the water ceased to exist as it hit his hands. Panicking, he asked to borrow someone elseā€™s.
Again, the water vanished, as if itā€™d been a mirage.
For days, he walked alongside the group of travelers, slowly dying of thirst. The others watched him in concern, but none dared to ask.
As they stopped for a rest, he sat beside a lake, longingly staring into its depths.
As the hours passed, his throat became parched, and eventually, it started to harden and crack, as if it were dried clay. Even the natural water his body produced that was supposed to exist ceased to be.
His arms, too weak to move, fell to his sides. His eyes, dry and sore from lack of tears, grew red.
Finally, he collapsed beside the lake. The party moved onwards, heedless of their missing party member.
When The Hunterā€™s friends became concerned after hearing no news from their supposedly prosperous friend, they sent out a search party to the lake where heā€™d been abandoned, after hearing the traveling group admit it.
All they found was a clay statue sitting in perfect posture in front of the lake, staring deep into its depths.
It had two rubies for eyes, and cracks were forming all over it, as if it had been baked for too long in the sun.
One party member took a single ruby, determined that at least one of the original friend group make a fortune, but the next day, they had vanished from the party, never to be seen again.
Finally, at the Rite of Descension, the two remaining friends questioned Rex Lapis about the whereabouts of their missing friends. To this, he frowned, deep in thought, before responding.
ā€œThe Hu Li Shen is displeased. Patron of Foxes and God of Deception, it would be wise to not anger someone so powerful.ā€ He gave as a warning.
The two plead for their powerful Archon to save their friends, but he only refused.
ā€œIt would not be a wise action to do so, angering them.ā€ He simply repeated. The rumors spread throughout Liyue, as this had been seen by all who bore witness to the Rite of Descension.
Do not anger the Hu Li Shen.
The stone statue still sits to this day, near Luhua Pool, with only a single glinting ruby as an eye.
As for the other party memberā€¦
Qiuyue smiled faintly at the new decoration in their Autumn Palace. Yes, this statue would do nicely. Itā€™d been a couple centuries since the last fools, and those were starting to wear down with time.
