Chapter 36 Day 2 of Watching a Play in Liyue
When the lady boarded the ship back to Winter with the Heart of God, the play jointly planned by the God of Rock and the lady, with the young master making a guest appearance, the traveler as the protagonist, and Shui Qingli watching the whole show, was over.
The most pitiful one was Osel, who had just been released to take a breath. Before he could do anything, he was suppressed back to the bottom of the sea by the Jade Pavilion, and it was obvious that he would never have the chance to come out and cause trouble again.
However, suppressing Osel was not the end. Osel's only remaining dependent, his wife, had started to create waves outside Liyue again, and in just half a month, many fishing boats and fishermen had been injured.
This naturally attracted the attention of Qixing.
After all, they had communicated with the immortals after defeating Osel, hoping that they would hand over Liyue to them humans with confidence. If they couldn't even suppress a single demon, everything they had said before would become a joke.
Therefore, in order to lure out Bacha, Ningguang set up a trap, using the excuse of rebuilding the Jade Pavilion to show the current power of Liyue to the immortals and those hidden enemies.
Of course, some workers would take the job if they were paid, and travelers would naturally go and participate.
And also met new friends.
This time, Shui Qingli did not join in the fun. He was being led by Zhongli to meet the immortals, and the location was naturally in Jueyunjian.
"Your Majesty's actions this time were truly dangerous. You should have informed us in advance. We almost thought you really..."
True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang and True Lord Li Shui Die Shan were still relatively rational. They trusted the Emperor unconditionally. The only immortal who could question him directly was True Lord Liu Yun Jie Feng.
She always has a quick temper.
Grandma Ping has been staying in Liyue Harbor for many years. Every family with some background in Liyue knows the identity of this old lady.
This time, she was the second immortal besides Zhongli to realize what he wanted to do, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't reveal a word. In order to prevent being questioned by her colleagues, she did not attend the gathering.
"I'm glad the Emperor is alright."
The demon-conquering Great Sage Xiao said in a low voice. His thoughts were even simpler. As long as nothing happened to the Emperor, he would not say much.
The Emperor must have his reasons for doing things.
“Humph! When this Immortal, Xueyue Zhuyang, Lishui Dieshan, and I were heading to Liyue, we were stopped outside the Liyue Harbor by that ignorant little girl, who treated us like an enemy. When this Immortal followed the Emperor to fight in various places, I don’t even know if her ancestors were even born!”
When Master Liuyun Jiefeng thought of this, he felt upset. The attitude of that little girl was as if they, the immortals, were going to Liyue to cause trouble and seize power. Her vision was really poor.
“Haha, Ningguang and the others are also worried that the people of Liyue will be frightened. Liuyun, you have a generous personality, so don’t bother with her.”
Zhongli chuckled and poured a cup of medicinal tea brewed by Qingxin for the angry immortal to help her calm down.
"Emperor, who is this?"
Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan's gaze shifted to Shui Qingli standing beside him. The friends that the emperor brought to the gathering with the immortals should definitely not be ordinary people.
With their practice, they were unable to see through this person's depth.
"This is a new friend of mine, Shui Qingli."
"He should be considered a natural born demon god. It's the same if you treat him as a Liyue immortal."
Upon hearing the word "Demon God", the Demon-Slaying Great Sage who had been active in various places in Liyue for many years immediately looked over.
Countless demons have fallen in various places in Liyue. The remnants of those demons are still affecting various monsters and passers-by in the wild of Liyue. No one knows what kind of existence the demon is better than Xiao.
"That is not entirely true, sir."
Shui Qingli tried hard to ignore Xiao's sharp eyes, and calmly started to explain when everyone was looking at her.
"The current environment of Teyvat is no longer suitable for the birth of a demon god. I am just a life transformed from an element."
He didn't know whether he would have the chance to return to Earth in this lifetime. The best outcome would be to survive on the continent of Teyvat as Shui Qingli.
Perhaps the only luck is that one will live a long life, but isn’t longevity another kind of sorrow?
Also, why do you treat him as an immortal from Liyue? Your Majesty, tell me, do you have any feelings for me?
For example, going to Liyue to work or something...
"Oh? I saw that this young man was full of water elemental energy, and I thought he was the owner of the Eye of God, but I didn't expect that he was actually an elemental life."
The Rock Emperor and the Ryota Dragon King are also life forms of the rock element. The Liyue immortals are relatively accepting of this. After all, they are people brought by the Emperor himself and are definitely not enemies.
"Jueyunjian is our dojo. If you have the chance in the future, you can discuss Taoism with us anytime."
Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang nodded and was the first to make an invitation. The other two immortals also nodded, but Xiao was the only one who did not move.
After confirming that the Emperor was fine, he prepared to return to Wangshu Inn, but for the Emperor's sake, he couldn't leave casually.
He has no intention of making friends.
"Speaking of which, I recently sensed the presence of Ba Che outside of Liyue Harbor. She was suppressed in Guyun Pavilion together with Osel back then. This time, she must have sneaked out when Osel was suppressed again."
Master Liuyun Jiefeng flapped his wings and talked about his recent discoveries.
"Should we go to Liyue again and seal her back?"
Although the Emperor said that Liyue has entered an era of human rule and that everything should be left to humans, the immortals are still somewhat worried about whether they can protect Liyue, which has been guarded by the Emperor and the immortals for thousands of years.
"Pull the lever..."
Zhongli recalled it, but he really had no impression. Most of his enemies back then were demons, and the demons' followers were basically faced by the immortals under his command.
"It doesn't matter. After thousands of years of wear and tear, even Osel's power is not much left. I think the same is true for his followers."
This was a rejection of the idea of Master Liuyunjiefeng taking action.
"I heard that Ningguang of Tianquan Star is preparing for the reconstruction of Qunyu Pavilion recently, and he has set a condition. Anyone who meets the condition can ask Ningguang to fulfill a wish for him."
Shui Qingli has a lot to say about this matter. Back then, he was also a traveler who dared to slash all over Teyvat with a level one sword.
"As soon as this was said, countless merchants and adventurers flocked here. I believe the new Qun Yu Pavilion will be completed soon."
Master Liuyun Jiefeng snorted with disdain.
"Humph, mortals just love to mess around with these things."
"I think that mortals do have great potential. Liuyun, please stop being so stubborn."
True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang replied slowly.
"Shen He went down the mountain to train a few days ago. You were so worried that you wanted to protect her all the time."
"I don't have any!"
Very good at chatting... No, Kongchao Laohe immediately denied it in anger.
