Chapter 43: The Second Day of Getting Serious in Liyue

“It does have some effect, but it seems to be a big project that needs to be carried out for a long time.”

After a long silence, when the young immortal's breathing became even again, Shui Qingli finally spoke.

Considering that the karma has merged with Yaksha's body, removing the karma is equivalent to replacing Xiao's blood throughout his body. If it continues, he will definitely suffer serious damage and he must take time to recuperate.

"I'm fine."

Xiao smoothed his breathing. Even though he was in pain just now, he now felt his body was much more relaxed. Even the inner demon that he had been suppressing had dissipated a little.

This can help him control his mind and avoid falling into a state of madness. Even if it is not possible to completely eliminate all the karma in the end, it will indeed be helpful to him.

He still abides by the contract with the Emperor and suppresses the remnants of demons and evil spirits in Liyue. If possible, he also wants to have a body that is not contaminated by karma.

Shui Qingli shook his head.

"It's no use if you're willing. Mr. Zhongli won't agree. I'm employed by him."

However, his ability is indeed useful to Xiao, and this news should make Mr. Zhongli very happy.

"That's all for today. You need to rest. I'll go back to Liyue Harbor later to explain the situation to Mr. Zhongli."

Although Xiao was still standing here stubbornly, from what he observed, he had almost exhausted all his strength. Such a Great Sage who could subdue demons was not suitable to continue the work of subduing demons and eliminating evil. If he wanted to persuade him to stop, Mr. Zhongli had to step in.

It was great that Boss Philgodette had reserved a room for him. He didn't know how long he would stay in Ogihua Island.

Ever since Tartaglia boarded the ship back to Winter, Mr. Zhongli's bills were no longer sent to the North Country Bank, but continued to be recorded in the Hall of Rebirth. A certain girl expressed her regret for this and said that she hoped that Mr. [Young Master] would come to visit again next time and she would definitely welcome him.

Although I used to do what I do now, drinking tea, walking the birds, listening to operas, and occasionally going to the Zhudian Boat to chat about history and culture with those archaeologists, the mentality after retirement is indeed different.

After handing over Liyue to Qixing without any pressure, Zhongli's life seemed to become more comfortable.

Therefore, when Shui Qingli saw Mr. Zhongli listening to storytelling at Sanwan Buguo Port, she was not surprised at all.

Anyway, if you don’t see him in the Wangsheng Hall, he’s either drinking tea, listening to stories, or going to listen to Mr. Yunjin’s new play. He’s very easy to find.

What Tian Tiezui was talking about at this time was the incident of pulling the lever that had just happened.

"I saw Lord Ningguang wave his jade hand, and an infinite barrier appeared in an instant. The Qianyan soldiers held powerful crossbows and shot at the monster in the sea! How could the monster accept its fate? With nowhere else to go, it used all its strength to escape. What it didn't expect was that a white-haired immortal and the famous traveler joined forces, and it jumped directly into the heavy vortex!"

Although he had already seen the battle, it did not prevent Zhongli from listening to Tian Tiezui recreate the scene in the form of storytelling. Although the details were slightly exaggerated, there was actually not much difference.

After all, a lot of Qianyan soldiers participated in that battle, and what we heard from them were all things that actually happened.

The people at the stall also applauded from time to time. This was a battle in which humans defeated monsters. Every Liyue person was proud of this. This was a hymn to humanity.

"I heard from Liuyun that Ningguang said in front of her that at worst she could destroy another Qun Yu Pavilion, which really pissed her off."

After the show ended, the tea stall became less crowded. Shui Qingli sat next to Zhongli and asked for a cup of tea.

"After all, she was very reluctant to admit that she had lost to humans in the art of mechanical engineering."

The Qun Yu Pavilion is the ultimate creation that combines mechanical technology with talismans and architecture. It is a non-consumable item that cost a lot of manpower and material resources. However, Ningguang spoke of it so lightly, as if it was a weapon that could be mass-produced. No wonder Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was resentful.

She has always loved the art of mechanisms and has been studying it since the Demon War. She has always hoped to use the art of mechanisms to create weapons that can influence the outcome of a battle. For example, the "Return Machine" named after the Demon of Dust is her masterpiece.

Of course, by now, her purpose in studying mechanical engineering had long since changed. She now created mechanisms simply out of love, not for the purpose of harming or killing.

"The Jade Pavilion is indeed a rare building. Even with the financial resources of Tianquan Star, the leader of the Seven Stars, it took a lot of effort to rebuild it. Ningguang said this just to prove that she has the strength to suppress foreign enemies."

Shui Qingli moved his fingers, and the tea in the cup spun slightly, and the transformation into ordinary water was completed.

Well, it has a slight sweetness. Although it is not as good as pure natural spring water, it is not bad either.

"The condition of the Great Sage who conquers demons has improved slightly. My power is indeed of some use, but this will probably become a long-term thing."

He said, spreading his hands helplessly.

"When I clear his karma, it will also damage his own strength. He needs to rest and recuperate, but the monster of Liyue...he still insists on continuing to work."

This really showed that he had no patience with himself and didn't care about his body at all, so he had no choice but to ask Zhongli for help.

After all, if the child is disobedient, you can only blame the parents.

“That’s just the way he is.”

Zhongli also felt a little sad about this.

"At the beginning, I asked the Yasha clan to clean up the evil spirits and miasma in various parts of Liyue and suppress the influence of the remaining demons. They worked diligently for a thousand years without stopping. I did not expect that it would come to this point."

"The chaos inside and outside Liyue has been resolved. The Seven Stars have worked together to govern Liyue very well. The monsters in the wild have also been cleared by the Thousand Rocks Army. There is no need for him to push himself like this."

Although his tone remained calm, there was also a lot of helplessness in Zhongli's tone.

Xiao is really a stubborn kid.

"Then I need you to persuade me more, Mr. Zhongli."

In Liyue, apart from the Emperor's fans, there are also twisted Emperor's fans. As long as Zhongli tells him personally, Xiao will more or less consider the Emperor's words.

"I came here to invite Mr. Zhongli to visit Wangshu Inn. I wonder if you are free?"

Kong just walked over with Paimon when he heard these words.

"Hey, why are you here again?"

Paimeng put her hands on her hips, not knowing what to say. While she and the Traveler were working hard for the safety of Liyue, the people who should be most worried about this matter were drinking tea and listening to books here. It was really...

"Are you going to Wangshu Inn? Do you need any help?"

Sora took the initiative to step forward and ask.

After all, listening to Shui Qingli's words, it seemed like he needed Zhongli's help with something.

Shui Qingli turned around and saw the traveler with waist-length hair, and her eyes immediately lit up.

Traveler, it's time to test your position in Xiao's heart!
