Chapter 49: Master and Disciple Return
The previous chapter said that Xianyun backstabbed Ganyu first, and told Tianhe all of Ganyu's dark history with her good conversational skills. Then she didn't expect that she was backstabbed by Zhongli because of the seniority issue. Xianyun thought that Zhongli was going to give her a marriage, but she forgot that Zhongli and Tianhe were on the same level in a sense, so Xianyun was confused and walked towards Tianhe.
Xianyun now wants to ask Tianhe, but as for Shenhe, she finds that the longer she spends with Tianhe, the more comfortable she feels physically, both in terms of love and treatment. So her favorability towards Tianhe is close to 100, but her only wish is to see her mother who died of illness at an early age. Her memory and emotions are gradually recovering with contact with Tianhe, so that Xianyun can see Shenhe's faint smile when she comes not far from them. Xianyun thinks that this will mean that she is no longer a puppet without emotions, but a living person. Tianhe is really suitable to be with this immortal.
Of course, maybe Shen He was just like this to Tian He now, and it was difficult for Shen He to show this expression to other people. "Shen He, let go of Tian He first, I want to talk to him about something, can you give us some space?" Shen He could sense that Master Xian Yun took this matter very seriously, and wanted to ask Tian He a question specifically, so she nodded, then let go of Tian He, and continued to meditate towards the open space in the distance, but she was still facing the direction where Tian He was.
"Tianhe, I want to ask you something. What do you think of me?" Tianhe was a little confused. Did she want to find a husband for Shen He and fell in love with him? Then she took this opportunity to ask him questions. As expected of a mother-in-law, she even sent Shen He away. Tianhe's treatment of Xianyun was very thoughtful. Although he also had a wrong idea, Xianyun was indeed greedy for Tianhe's body. Well, Tianhe said to Xianyun sincerely: "I think you are very good to Shen He. You are willing to teach her immortal skills. I can see that you are a responsible and good master. Moreover, you are also very tolerant of Ganyu. She worked overtime in Liyue Port, and you still nag her but don't blame her. You know that she has a lot of affairs and documents to deal with. There are also many people seeking immortality in Jueyunjian. Every year, someone falls off the cliff, but there are no casualties. It must be because of your kindness and tolerance of their ignorance. And~" Although Tianhe didn't know how to reply, it was definitely right to praise her.
Xianyun heard so many compliments from Tianhe, and was so flattered that she kept agreeing, "That's right, that's right, but am I really that powerful?" Xianyun remembered that when she was studying mechanical arts, she had also been a chivalrous man, using her exquisite mechanical arts to save people. After Tianhe finished praising her, he felt a little dry in the mouth, and he came to the stone table to pour himself a cup of tea. He drank the tea slowly to quench his thirst.
"Then do you like me?" Xianyun saw that he had finished speaking and was still drinking tea slowly, and then he suddenly said this. Tianhe was still facing Xianyun at this time. Hearing this, he sprayed water out to wash Xianyun's face, and then, "Puff! What did you say?" Xianyun was not annoyed. He simply took out a handkerchief from the storage space of the Eye of God and wiped his face, and said to Tianhe seriously: "I say, I like you, do you like me?"
When Xianyun said this, her face turned a little red and steam was coming out of her head. Well, she looked quite cute like this. She was obviously also an ascetic, but she looked like a teacher and a fairy who liked to chat. She gave people a different kind of contrast.
Tianhe nodded seriously without any hesitation, and said to Xianyun seriously: "I do like you, you have many advantages, as for your shortcomings, no, you have no shortcomings, well, I admit this, are you willing to accept me?" This liking is naturally a fact, not a pretense. After all, Xianyun told the truth that she had no shortcomings. The big boss in research was willing to tolerate her. One of her two apprentices was the Seven-Star Secretary of Yujingtai in Liyue, holding great power; the other one would be able to easily lift a giant floating stone with one hand in the future. She also faced the remaining power of the whirlpool for the traveler - Osel's wife Ba Che, and blocked the attack of the tsunami. Xianyun's strength was naturally stronger than theirs, so Tianhe accepted Xianyun's straightforward confession without thinking.
Xianyun didn't expect Tianhe to accept it so readily. She couldn't help muttering a few words: "Hey, he accepted my confession." Then more steam came out of her head. Tianhe found that the steam was more than that of many people she had met before. She didn't expect that Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng was still a fledgling in finding a partner. No wonder he has been single for thousands of years. She guessed that he only had theoretical experience but no practical experience. This was his first confession to Tianhe.
"Tianhe, is this true? I am not dreaming." Tianhe put the back of his hand on Xianyun's forehead. He didn't feel feverish, so why was she talking nonsense? Xianyun saw that Tianhe thought she was talking nonsense, so she quickly took Tianhe's hand away gently, not wanting to hurt him. She said to Tianhe gently: "What? I just ~ um"
Tianhe blocked Xianyun's mouth with two fingers, and said to Xianyun with a smile: "Xianyun, can you change your name?" Xianyun remembered that she was now Tianhe's girlfriend, so she put down Tianhe's hand that was blocking her mouth, and changed her words: "Well, okay, then my husband, can we be together in the future?" "Yes, I will open the cave heaven authority for you first. However, there are many technologies that do not belong to this world." Xianyun was naturally willing to open the cave heaven authority, and she heard that there were many new technologies that she had never seen, or technologies from outside the world, which might make her mechanical skills even better?
However, Xianyun still hugged Tianhe and kissed him on the lips. Where was Zhongli? She was watching from the side and felt relieved. If she knew that Tianhe and she had a contract, they would both be on the same starting line. However, it seemed that Shenhe was the only one who was backstabbed at the scene.
Shen He felt uncomfortable, and then she felt that her Tianhe seemed to be taken away by Master Xianyun, because she saw that her respected Master Xianyun actually hugged Tianhe very happily. She didn't expect that the master would take away her Tianhe. Shen He felt like a child whose good things were taken away. She felt very wronged. Tianhe also saw it, so he said to Shen He: "Shen He, come over here too."
Then Shen He jumped up immediately when she heard this, and rushed towards Tianhe quickly. After all, Shen He was very pure in her heart. As long as Tianhe did not abandon her, it didn't matter if the master got involved. She really didn't care about this aspect. She did not have the traditional monogamous concept of Liyue people, but Liyue did not have any law requiring monogamy.
"Hehe, OK, Master Xianyun, I didn't expect that~" Shen He suddenly became more talkative, which made Xianyun unexpected that his apprentice was very talented in chatting. It seems that Shen He can inherit this advantage after he recovers. Xianyun said proudly: "Humph, I like Tianhe, and at most I will compete with you for men in the future, but it's not shameful."
Although Xianyun is arrogant, she does speak the truth in this regard, after all, she is surrounded by her relatives. Whether it is the former Rock King Princess Morax Zhongli, or her apprentice Shen He who has been raising her for more than ten years, or her future husband, and now, her boyfriend Tianhe. It's great, and the Dust Demon God Guizhong has been resurrected, Liyue has a new fighting force. In the future, I will find time to visit her and compete with her in mechanical arts. I think Guizhong has become a lot less familiar with it, and her attainments in mechanical arts have become much more sophisticated.
As for the Ruotu Dragon King, Tianhe said goodbye to Xianyun and Shenhe after opening the cave authority for them. He found Zhongli who was eating melons and idling around nearby, and took her hand to the final destination of this journey, the South Heaven Gate, where the Ruotu Dragon King was sealed.
After coming down from Mount Aozang, she opened teleportation anchor points along the way, chatting with Zhong Li about the story of King Ruotu, and arrived at the Fulong Tree at the South Gate of Heaven with Zhong Li. Zhong Li sensed this sealed place, and she was surprised to find that the degree of the seal here had obviously weakened. It seemed that King Ruotu would break through the seal she and the immortals had set here one day in the near future. If she was worn out too much, she would definitely take revenge on Liyue Port. So she hurriedly took Tianhe to enter the secret realm of King Ruotu, which is the Zhouben "The Bottom of the Fulong Tree" of the original god player.
