Chapter 181 Zhongli, kowtow to Xiao Shangxian
[Diona] "I know that! I didn't expect that he would be allergic to cat hair. Every time he comes to the Cat's Tail Tavern to drink, he keeps sneezing."
[Barbara] "I knew Wendy was allergic to cats before, but since I found out Barbatos was allergic to cats, I find it a little weird."
[Paimon] "I think so too. Could it be that you, the singing singer, created this personality for yourself? In fact, you are not allergic to cats at all!"
[Wendy] "Paimon, don't you really trust me?"
[Captain] "So far, the Wind God is allergic to cats, the Thunder God can't cook, and the Water God is afraid of ghosts..."
[Funina] "Hey! Don't say such things!"
[Traveler Ying] "I think Fu Nina is afraid of ghosts or something like that. What about Fukalos? Are you afraid?"
[Fukaros] "To be honest, when I first watched horror movies with little Fufu, it was a little... um... scary. After all, it was my first time experiencing horror movies. But after watching more, I no longer felt that way."
[Paimon] "Zhongli, is there anything you are not good at dealing with?"
[Hutao] "I remember that Zhongli doesn't seem to like seafood. In the employee meal I prepared earlier, Zhongli could eat all other food, but he particularly disliked seafood."
[Zhongli] "Just seeing seafood reminds me of that... how should I put it, the slippery touch and the fishy smell that can't be washed off. As for the reason... just think of it as my memory being bad because I'm old."
The video continues, Chongyun said, "Well...if there is a chance, could you please give me some advice on exorcism techniques, Mr. Zhongli..."
Zhongli: "Exorcism magic? I can only say that I have a little knowledge in this area. If you don't mind, we can slowly..."
At this time, travelers Ying and Paimon walked in. They were also invited by Walnut to have a meal not long ago.
Paimon: "Wow, so many people have already arrived! We only knew that Hu Tao invited Zhongli, but we didn't expect to meet so many old friends, hehe. Happy Lantern Festival everyone!"
Traveler Ying also greeted enthusiastically, "Happy Lantern Festival!"
Zhongli invited the travelers Ying and Paimon to take a seat. "Happy holidays, please."
Then the traveler Ying and Paimon found an empty seat and sat down. Not long after, Wendy also joined the dinner. (The next is the original version of the live version)
[Captain] "Oh my god, Paimon is resurrected!"
[Paimon] "I knew that Traveler Ying wouldn't shoot me. Traveler Ying must be trying to scare me."
[Wendy] "Didn't expect that I would have a role in this drama?"
[Paimon] "You are really free, singing for money. You come to Liyue to eat for free."
[Xiang Ling] "I never thought in my lifetime that I would be able to eat at the same table with Lord Yan and Lord Barbatos, the God of Wind. This is a blessing that took me many lifetimes to obtain!"
[Keqing] "I'm so envious... No, I mean, what's so exciting about this? It's just a normal dinner party, it's just that they are of higher status..."
【Traveler Ying】"Keqing is still so hypocritical."
Paimon noticed that Walnut was not there, and was a little confused, "Isn't this Walnut's dinner party? Why hasn't Walnut come yet?"
Zhongli explained to Paimeng, "The hall master said he would receive a distinguished guest, so he asked me to receive you all here first."
[Wendy] "Oh, is there a more distinguished guest than the old man?"
[Paimon] "The Hutao in the video probably doesn't know whether Zhongli is still Lord Geo."
[Walnut] "If it were me, this so-called distinguished guest would probably refer to a certain immortal. Let me think about it, the only immortal that can be invited is probably the Great Sage Who Conquers Demons."
【elf】"……"
At this time, Walnut walked in with the distinguished guest, "Dangdangdang, here we come!"
Kurumi walked up to the traveler Ying and asked, "Are you surprised?"
Then he flashed to between Xingqiu and Xiangling. "Are you surprised?"
Walnut introduced the distinguished guest to everyone in the amazed gaze of the crowd, "This is the distinguished guest I invited! The famous Great Saint who conquers demons!"
Hu Tao looked at Zhongli and said, "Come on! Come on, kowtow to him!"
[Xiao] "Puff! Cough cough cough..."
[Hu Tao] "Ahahaha...if I knew Zhongli was the Emperor, I wouldn't have said that."
[Funina] "Hahaha, this is so funny. I can already imagine how embarrassed the Demon-Subduing Great Sage must be feeling!"
[Charlotte] "May I ask how the Great Sage would respond in this situation?"
[Xiao] "...boring. No matter what, I will not let the emperor kowtow to me."
In the video, everyone who knew Zhongli's true identity was shocked. Paimon ate melons, and the traveler Ying watched the show. Zhongli heard the order from his boss and was thoughtful...
Xiao couldn't help but say "6..."
Walnut: "Did you hear me? Six kowtows."
Xiao was frightened again and panicked, "Uh... that's not what I meant..."
[Captain] "Miss Walnut is really a bit eccentric. Look how scared she is."
[Paimon] "I guess his life span has been shortened. He never thought that this day would come, right?"
Venti stood up from his seat. Seeing this funny scene, he couldn't bear to see the old man embarrassed, so he came to the rescue of Zhongli and Xiao. "Hahaha, the hall master's original intention is to respect the nobles! In Mondstadt, we all drink at times like this, but today, I will use tea instead of wine to toast the Demon King!"
Walnut: "Yeah, that's exactly what I mean! Don't just stand there, guest, give a toast to the Demon-Subduing Great Sage!"
[Traveler Ying] "Xiao Zhong, quickly give a toast to the Demon-Subduing Great Sage!"
[Paimon] "Stop making trouble, Traveler Ying!"
[Jizi] "Offering tea is better than kowtowing or something."
[Alicea (Elysian Land)] "Oh, the thoughts of this cool little handsome guy must be very interesting~"
[Padofils (Elysian Land)] “Xiao: I don’t want to die yet~ How many times do I have to kowtow to return the favor?”
Xiao: "Uh... don't worry about these etiquettes."
Zhongli: "It is a rare Lantern Festival, and the gathering of old and new friends is a good thing worth celebrating. Everyone here is a distinguished guest of honor and a good friend of the hall master. Let me offer a toast to you all!"
Then Zhongli raised his teacup and took a sip. Wendy praised him, "Mr. Zhongli, what you said is very good. I believe that the hall master must be a smart and reliable person to find such a talented subordinate."
Walnut really liked Wendy's compliment. "Hey, Wendy, you are really good at talking. But my guest official is really amazing. Not only does he know everything about astronomy and geography, he also single-handedly keeps Wangsheng Hall in deficit every year."
[Kiana] "Deficit every year? What does that mean?"
[Captain] "To put it simply, it means that the business is losing money every year."
[Hutao] "It's not that exaggerated. There are times when I neither lose nor gain. There are even times when I make a small profit."
[Paimon] "That's really not easy for you."
