Chapter 35 Day 9 of Watching a Play in Liyue

"There's no need to make such a fuss, sir."

Just as Shui Qingli expected, the lady did not get angry with him. After all, Morax was not as good-tempered as the God of Wind, who could smile even when his heart was exposed. The land of Liyue was won by the God of Geo with real fighting skills.

Even if the Ice God himself came, he would not be able to suppress the old man. If the maintainer of heaven's justice did not take action, Morax would be the most powerful god in the continent of Teyvat.

"This is just a cooperation, between you and me, cooperation between executive officers."

Although she really didn't want to bother with this colleague who didn't like to use his brain, the young master had indeed made a great contribution to the completion of this plan, and she couldn't take all the credit for herself.

Anyway, as long as the result is achieved.

"You actually said this is [cooperation between executives]? The so-called [cooperation] should at least involve the exchange of information..."

Tartaglia felt aggrieved.

In order to complete his plan, he even gave up his principle of not involving the weak. As a result, when the lady came, she arrogantly announced that he was just an executor who was used. Who could tolerate this?

He didn't expect that it was not only Morax who fooled him, but also his colleagues.

"Haha... don't worry about it, young master. In the end, you ignored the deal and the calculations and just made a big scene. Aren't you happy? It's in line with your style."

The lady glanced at him as if she had heard a joke and said with disdain.

Anyway, it can be heard that what she said was not a compliment, but a mockery of Tartaglia being a brainless and reckless man.

Looking at the young master's hands gradually clenching, Shui Qingli blinked.

The Lady's ability to draw hatred among the Fatui should be second only to that of the Scattered Soldiers, right? If the Scattered Soldiers had not met the Grass Goddess Nashida, he would probably have been killed in the end.

Unfortunately, General Lei Dian did not have such a good temper. With just one strike of his sword, he killed Rosaline, who had been spoiled by the two gods Feng Yan, and she was so arrogant that she was utterly humiliated. Not even ashes were left.

He moved his ears and suddenly sensed a familiar breath. Everyone present was strong, so they naturally noticed it.

"It seems that someone you know is here."

Rosalin turned around immediately. The Fatui had clear hierarchies and subordinates, so no one would dare to disobey the executive officer's order and break in. Based on her understanding of Morax's plan, there was only one person who could come.

As soon as Kong came in and saw her, he immediately took a fighting stance.

Although he knew that Wendy was not seriously injured, this woman did leave him with a great psychological trauma at the time, and he almost thought that his good friend was gone.

Obviously, the lady thought so too, and she even made a direct mockery.

"After all, the feeling of watching your friend being robbed of something important while being unable to do anything about it... is it hard to forget?"

Kong's expression became even more unfriendly, and he wanted to draw his sword and kill someone immediately, but he was held down by Paimon and Shui Qingli who had appeared at some point.

Well, it was mainly the latter, and Paimon could only persuade him verbally.

"Don't be impulsive. Don't worry, this is Liyue."

Shui Qingli patted his shoulder, then looked up and smiled naturally at the lady. As expected, the other party snorted in understanding, but shut her mouth.

He was just taking advantage of the power of another. After all, as a good friend of Morax, the lady wouldn't dare to do anything unless she had a problem with her brain. At most, she would just say a few mean words.

You need to be more patient with a dying person.

Tartaglia's attitude remained the same as usual. Perhaps his identity as a person being used made him obviously resonate with the Traveler. After all, their previous cooperation was quite pleasant, and he also liked fighting with the Traveler.

He even forced a smile and greeted Sora and Paimon, explaining that it was just a matter of stance and that he had no other hostility.

Sora believed what he said. Although Tartaglia was a battle maniac, he was indeed cheerful and generous. He never hesitated when it came to paying money. If he was not an executive of the Fatui, perhaps they would really become excellent friends.

But he just said that Zhongli and the lady had deceived him badly?

What happened in the end?

The lady was too lazy to listen to their idle chatter, she came here for important things to do.

"Don't waste your time, sir. If you want to chat, wait until I finish my business and then we can chat slowly."

"As agreed, I have come to take your Heart of God, Morax."

Her attitude was extremely cold, as if what she was going to take away was not the precious Heart of God, but just some ordinary item.

"[The contract] has been concluded. As you requested, I will grant you what I promised you."

Zhongli calmly stretched out his hand and handed the Heart of God, which connected the gods to Sky Island, to the executive of Zhidong.

Little Paimeng, who didn't understand the reason, was stunned and his eyes were a little confused.

If, as the lady and the young master said, Zhongli is the Rock God Morax, then was he running around before to prepare for his own funeral?

Kong's expression was somewhat complicated.

Although he had some suspicions before, given Zhongli's conversation, his profound knowledge, and his sharp vision and attitude towards the situation in Liyue, Kong only suspected that he might be an immortal living in Liyue Harbor. He never expected that he was Morax himself.

And he was very good at holding a funeral for himself.

Afterwards, he listened to Zhongli, now a mortal, telling him about his entire retirement plan, including his expectations for the Liyue immortals, his expectations for the Liyue Seven Stars, and his satisfaction with the final results they delivered.

Judging from the results, he was more satisfied than he had imagined.

Humans are indeed a race with great potential, and will always be stronger than the gods can imagine. This is true for mortals and the Seven Stars.

The only one who was dissatisfied was probably Gongzi. After all, he had been working hard and financially, and had invested a large amount of money in Zhongli at the risk of being hunted down by the Ninth Seat. However, he found out that he was just a clown who was used throughout the whole process, which seriously hurt his heart.

And the lady lived up to expectations and continued to make sarcastic remarks as usual.

"Heh! How about saying thank you? Your [disruption] is actually part of the [game]. The God of Rock should be thanking you for your wonderful performance."

"If you hadn't created the pressure of the immortals and demons standing together, then the coal in the hands of the God of Rock, Liyue, which he had played with for thousands of years, would not have turned into the sparkling diamond it is today."

Tartaglia looked even worse.

"Huh? Why are you taking the perspective of another country's god and mocking your colleagues? You want to fight?"

Kong shook his head. Even during the ceremony of sending off the immortal, he had vaguely sensed that something was amiss. The young master could actually stick to his own way. It was indeed...

Um? wrong.

"Qingli, do you also know the inside story?"

Didn't he come to Liyue later than me? Why was he standing here with Mr. Zhongli?

"Oh, didn't I say that?"

Shui Qingli looked over, with no obvious attitude on her face, but a hint of smile in her eyes.

"I am not a human, but a life form similar to Morax, or Mr. Zhongli."

Although it's not from the same world.

Born a demon... The lady realized something instantly, and she looked at Shui Qingli with some unfriendly eyes.

No wonder she felt something was wrong in Mond at that time. This man's use of power was far beyond the ordinary possessor of the Eye of God. If he was not a human, everything would make sense.

But the most important thing is not his identity, but his position.

This person is not a pawn in the game, but he can follow the God of Rock here to finish the game. In Morax's heart, his status is equal.

So will he have any influence on the Fatui and on Solstice's plan?

It seems that she has to go back and report to the Queen.

As for the young master, she glanced at her fanatical colleagues and looked away instantly as if she had been stabbed in the eyes.

Tsk, I really don't want to admit that this fighting madman is an executive officer like her.
