Chapter 55: The Story in the Cave
In the last chapter, Tianhe was forced to give Chongyun, Yunjin, and Xingqiu a contract each, probably because Chongyun started it first. They regarded this kind of contract as a marriage contract, and Tianhe believed that they would not regret it, and he would protect them.
However, after the three of them calmed down, they suddenly became shy for some reason and turned into three steam princesses with steam coming out of their heads. After such a long time of tossing and turning, seeing that it was almost night, Tianhe had no choice but to carry them into the cave one by one in a princess hug. First, Yunjin, then Chongyun, and finally Xingqiu was carried into the cave.
If someone asks about the feel, I can only say that each of the three girls has her own merits. Yunjin is dedicated to Liyue drama. The girl has a faint fragrance, is very flexible, and has a good figure; Xingqiu has a bookish scent. The girl looks frail, but she is a disciple of the Guhua School and aspires to become a knight, which is unique; Chongyun, as the heir to a family of exorcists, has been practicing since childhood, practicing spells and swordsmanship, and her figure is also well developed.
Tianhe could only say that he had personally felt that the figures of the three people were indeed different. Of course, Tianhe personally carried them back to the villa one by one, carried them to the dining table one by one, and then cooked for them himself. While Tianhe was cooking, Chongyun's steam princess effect was automatically lifted, "Hey, what did I just do! But Tianhe is indeed a person worthy of trust." Looking at Xingqiu who was still steaming next to him, Chongyun covered his mouth and smiled, then took out the camera to take a picture of Xingqiu.
Xingqiu didn't expect Chongyun to be a fool and take a picture of her ugly face, but she didn't know it at the moment. The steam buff lasted for a long time before she recovered. Yunjin also recovered and found that she was not in the original place, but she was not too worried because she had been here before and still remembered the decoration here. Tianhe's voice came from the kitchen, "Yunjin, Chongyun, Xingqiu, you three wait a little longer, I will make dinner for you, you can go back after you finish eating."
However, Xingqiu noticed that Chongyun seemed to be holding back her smile, and then he saw the camera in her hand. He suddenly realized something and hurriedly shouted at Chongyun, "Chongyun, did you take a picture of my ugly behavior just now?" Chongyun would naturally not admit it and kept replying, "No, no, hahahaha."
"Still laughing! Delete my photo!" Xingqiu was anxious. She was anxious. She didn't expect that she would be blinded by a goose after hunting wild geese all day. She used to be the one who bullied Chongyun, but now she has changed her tactics! So Xingqiu didn't waste any words with Chongyun. He played with Chongyun and wanted to snatch the camera from Chongyun. Chongyun would not let Xingqiu get it easily.
Yunjin couldn't help but laugh as she watched the two besties fighting over a photo. However, Xingqiu managed to grab the camera based on his understanding of Chongyun, and saw that there was a picture of his steamy self in it. He then deleted the photo with a sullen face, and continued to fight with Chongyun.
But when Tianhe brought the bowls and chopsticks over, they stopped playing and took the bowls and chopsticks. Yunjin even went to the kitchen to bring the dishes that Tianhe had cooked. Then the three of them chatted about their own family matters while eating, and Tianhe also told them the story of how he went to Jueyunjian to purify Ruotu Dragon King.
Xingqiu was surprised and said, "Wow, no wonder I heard from others that the Fulong tree at the South Gate of Heaven disappeared. I didn't expect that you, Tianhe, left Liyue Harbor for a week to purify the karma of the Ruotu Dragon King?" Because of the wear and tear, they may not understand, but they have heard of karma more or less. After all, they all know the story of the demon-conquering Great Sage and the guardian Yaksha Xiao. The Yakshas were eventually tortured by karma because of dealing with various demons, and only Xiao was left in the world.
According to Tianhe's description, wear and tear is more terrible than karma. It can also cause memory loss and distortion. In addition, the excessive exploitation of the Layered Rock Abyss Mine by the Liyue people is the real reason why the Ruotu Dragon King went crazy. Xingqiu stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said to Tianhe: "Huh, I understand. According to what you mean, the guest official Zhongli who is traveling with you must not be an ordinary person."
"Hey, Brother Tianhe, is the guest Zhongli really not an ordinary person?" Yunjin had seen the guest Zhongli several times before, sometimes accompanied by Tianhe, and a few times an orange-haired woman from the Zhidong Country accompanied her around Liyue Harbor. She didn't expect Zhongli to have such a great background. But according to Xingqiu's statement, if we think carefully, it is very likely that she is also a three-eyed five-manifested immortal who lives in seclusion in Liyue Harbor.
Tianhe thought for a moment and said, "Zhong Li, well, you should be able to guess her identity more or less. She is the Rock King who retired a month ago, one of the Seven Rulers of the Earthly World, Morax." "Ah?" The three of them were shocked in unison. The guest official Zhong Li was actually the Rock King who retired a month ago!
This was indeed something they could not have imagined. How could they have imagined it? Chongyun said to Zhong Li with reverence, "I never thought that Miss Zhong Li was a god who lived in seclusion in the city. Even after retirement, she still looked back at this ancient country from a human perspective." Xingqiu also said, "However, the Demon God of Dust, Gui Zhong, also resurrected and rejoined Liyue because of Tianhe. She is currently rebuilding the new area of Guiliyuan. She is also a great demon god."
Just as she finished speaking, Gui Zhong came in with a skipping sound, "Let me see which little kid is praising my name behind my back." Then she looked at Xing Qiu and hugged him. Tian He also looked at the two girls being close to each other. Gui Zhong said happily, "Wow, it turns out that such a cute child is praising my name behind my back. I am motivated again today."
Zhong Li also walked in slowly. She cleared her throat and said to Gui Zhong, "Gui Zhong, cough, pay attention to your appearance." Hearing this, Gui Zhong quickly let go of Xing Qiu, looked at Zhong Li with resentment, and then hugged Tian He. "Come to Tian He, let me hug you. I have been busy in Gui Li Yuan for a long time. Let me replenish my energy."
Tianhe felt the cleanser Guizhong gave him, well, it was very soft, and he could smell the scent of glazed lilies from Guizhong's face. "Miss Zhongli, are you really the Rock King, Morax, one of the seven rulers of the world?" Chongyun asked Zhongli.
"Oh? It seems that you all know. Tianhe, have you told them? You told Xiangling about Ruoxue and me before, and now you have revealed my identity to them. However, I believe in you and their character. After all, I am very good at judging people. You can just call me Zhong Li from now on. I am just an ordinary person now." Zhong Li said slowly. After all, she was not stingy in this regard. In a sense, Zhong Li could be regarded as the queen in Liyue.
"Thank you Miss Zhongli for not blaming us!" Xingqiu, Yunjin, and Chongyun all sighed. They were afraid of being blamed and even implicated Tianhe. However, Zhongli did not pursue the matter. She just asked them to keep their mouths shut. She was still thinking about retiring peacefully!
Gui Zhong also let go of Tianhe and ran to Zhong Li with a smile. She could see that the three little girls had their own strengths and good character. It seemed that they had signed a contract with Tianhe. However, she didn't care. After all, she couldn't leave Tianhe, and it seemed that Tianhe was going to rewrite many stories on the continent of Teyvat.
"See you in Tianhe." Yunjin left first, thinking that if she didn't go back, her parents would get worried. Xingqiu also said goodbye, then made a vicious face in Chongyun's direction and teleported away. As for Chongyun, she didn't need to go back so quickly, she could sleep outside sometimes, but Tianhe wouldn't let her stay outside the cave.
But Gui Zhong seemed not to go to Guiliyuan New District tonight. She planned to take a rest, and Zhong Li also said that she wanted to rest in the cave for a while. However, they saw that Chongyun did not leave, and seemed to understand something. Then Gui Zhong patted Chongyun on the shoulder and motioned for them to go upstairs together.
However, Wendy also finished her day as a bard. She returned to the cave and then walked into the villa. However, she felt a demon god she had never seen before. She was a little surprised at first, and then she thought about it, thinking that Tianhe might have done something big to resurrect a demon god. So she followed him upstairs to see who it was.
However, Zhong Li patted Wendy on the shoulder, as if he saw something wrong with her, and told her that the person was the Demon God of Dust, Guizhong, who died in Guiliyuan during the Demon God War. However, Tianhe used the power of resurrection, Guizhong's Dust Chain and Cleansing Dust Bell as the medium, and then resurrected Guizhong through the power of the earth veins. After Wendy understood everything, she followed him upstairs.
