Chapter 787 Zhongli VS Venti
Mr. Maocai looked at Ningguang's frustrated expression, which contained a hint of despair.
He said even more proudly: "Things are different now. You are almost at the end of your rope. Considering that you are from Tianquan Star, I will give you some face."
“Ningguang, Ningguang, I’m doing this for your own good. Sign it, then take the money and go to other countries. Liyue is not suitable for you to survive…”
Ningguang tightly grasped the acquisition contract in her hand. If she dared to sign this contract, her last bit of value would be squeezed out.
Not to mention running to other countries, she would "disappear" the next day after signing, and then in a few months, she would become the top star of the new "Zhudianfang"! Squeeze out the last bit of her body value.
She gnashed her teeth and said, "You forced me to do this..."
Just when Ningguang was about to mobilize the elemental power in despair and anger to kill Mao Caigong and his followers in a fight to the death, Shao Yun appeared.
Shao Yun looked at Ningguang and the other group of people in the Jade Pavilion who were so lively, sneered, and said, "It's really lively..."
When Ningguang heard this familiar voice, the faint light in her divine eyes went out, and she looked at Shao Yun who suddenly appeared in surprise.
"Mr. Shao Yun?"
When Mr. Maocai heard Shao Yun's voice coming from behind him, he was almost frightened to the point of incontinence. What was going on?
"what?"
Shao Yun looked at how many followers Mr. Maocai had gathered and looked at each of them one by one.
The merchants who were stared at by Shao Yun all avoided his sight at the same time. After all, the man in front of them was a murderer and robber, and even the Qianyan Army dared not intervene. It would be useless if they were killed by Shao Yun, and they would have nowhere to seek justice.
Shao Yun looked at the surprised and panicked crowd and said jokingly, "What? You are the only one allowed to cause trouble to Ningguang, but I am not allowed to cause trouble to her?"
As he spoke, Shao Yun walked through the path made by the crowd and approached Ningguang with a cold expression.
Ningguang looked at Shao Yun with a cold expression, and combined with what he had just said, it seemed that he was going to take her life.
At this moment she felt no fear, no desire to escape, and no thought of resisting. She smiled.
"Haha, as expected... I knew it..."
Ningguang thought that Shao Yun had not forgiven her for the plot she had made against him that night. She was almost dead now anyway, and being killed by him would be a painless death. It was better to die, it was better to die!
If he fell into the hands of these former rivals, it would be worse than death. It would be decent to die in Shao Yun's hands! It was a good ending.
"Let's do it. Maybe I should be happy. I'm tired..." Ningguang said with a dead heart.
Lord Maocai saw that the situation was a bit complicated... The current situation seemed like Shao Yun wanted to kill Ningguang?
When he thought of this, Mao Caigong felt a chill on his back! In his opinion, how could Shao Yun and Ningguang not cooperate? They were clearly mortal enemies!
Lord Maocai was so regretful now. Why did he form a shitty merchant alliance and recruit people to fight Ningguang? Why not just wait for Shao Yun to kill Ningguang and divide up her inheritance?
Now even if I succeed in bringing down Ningguang, I will have to give away a lot of the benefits I get, which is a loss!
However, on the surface, Mr. Maocai said to Shao Yun with a humble face: "Since Mr. Shao Yun wants to take action to resolve the private matter between you and Ningguang, we will not disturb you..."
Immediately afterwards, Lord Maocai called upon his men and followers and wanted to leave quickly.
What if Shao Yun gets addicted to killing and kills me too? Then I won’t even have anywhere to cry!
"Let's go."
Shao Yun looked at Mao Caigong and his group who were about to leave and immediately called out to them.
"Did I let you go?"
When Lord Maocai heard Shao Yun's frightening voice coming from behind him, he trembled with fear and dared not move. The group was left in the Qun Yu Pavilion by Shao Yun.
No one thought of running away, and everyone just waited quietly for the situation to develop.
Shao Yun looked at Ningguang, who was sitting behind her desk, waiting for him to kill her. He winked and said, "Ningguang, how can your fate be so good? Is it a fate of wealth and honor?"
"Do you know what that person promised me in order to let me save you?"
When Ningguang heard that Shao Yun was here to save her, her originally desperate heart was rekindled the moment she saw the hope of life.
"What, Shao Yun, you are here to save me?" Ningguang asked in disbelief, "Are you kidding?"
When Mr. Maocai heard Shao Yun say that he came to save Ningguang, he was so scared that he almost passed out. Doesn't this mean that Shao Yun and Ningguang didn't break up at all?
"What? Mr. Shao Yun, didn't you and Ningguang break up?" Mr. Maocai asked in disbelief.
Shao Yun reminded him coldly, "As a businessman, you should know that sometimes, when the benefits are great enough, let alone a falling out, even if you are a sworn enemy, you can help each other and put aside your past grudges."
Mr. Maocai wanted to slap himself in his heart. Why did he believe the nonsense of those bastards who stole treasures and were imprisoned?
They say every failure makes you wiser, but why don’t I learn from my mistakes?
Seeing Shao Yun walking towards him viciously, Mao Caigong fell to his knees in front of Shao Yun and begged for mercy: "I was wrong! I will spit out all the assets I have swallowed up now. Please spare my life and I will never dare to do it again."
Shao Yun walked in front of Mr. Maocai. His tone was calm, but it concealed an uncontrollable madness.
"You know what? Actually, I always kill people with one shot. Unless I am extremely angry, you should be able to die quickly."
Mr. Maocai, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up tremblingly, looking into Shao Yun's eyes that could choose anyone to devour, and his voice trembled with fear.
"I was wrong. I am willing to give all my property to Ningguang. I only ask you to spare my life!"
Shao Yun grabbed Lord Maocai by the collar and said in a cold voice, "I need to vent my anger, Lord Maocai, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having eyes!"
Before he finished speaking, Shao Yun shouted loudly and punched Mao Caigong hard in the face.
"ah!"
This punch almost took half of Mao Cai's life, as if Shao Yun's punch would send him to hell.
"Ah! Help!"
Before Mr. Maocai could even finish his wailing, Shao Yun had already punched him in the mouth, knocking out several teeth.
Punch after punch, Mao Caigong's forehead was sunken, his wailing became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely. Shao Yun beat Mao Caigong to death with his bare hands.
Shao Yun was determined to kill him. He turned all his anger into fists and beat Mao Caigong to death.
Afterwards, Shao Yun carried the body of Lord Mao Cai and threw it down the Qun Yu Pavilion. Even if he was not killed by Shao Yun's bare hands, he would not be an ordinary person to survive the free fall from such a high place...
When Shao Yun returned to the Qun Yu Pavilion, he saw that Lord Maocai's followers were so scared that they kowtowed to Ningguang who was sitting behind the desk, pushing all the blame onto Lord Maocai and begging for Ningguang's forgiveness.
Ningguang is confused now, everything changed too quickly.
The last second, these people looked at him with lustful eyes like wolves seeing meat.
The next second, they all turned into dogs, kneeling on the ground, wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
Although Ningguang understood how quickly merchants could change their expressions, this was the first time she had seen such a huge contrast...
When the merchants kneeling on the ground saw Shao Yun coming back with blood on his face, they were so scared that they knocked their heads on the ground and knelt on the ground.
Shao Yun looked at the merchants who came to cause trouble and shouted, "Now! Lord Maocai is dead, who else wants to be the first to stand out?"
When Mao Caigong's followers heard Shao Yun's murderous threat, they were so frightened that their calves ached.
"We were wrong! We don't dare to do it again!" People begged for mercy one after another.
Shao Yun looked at these guys begging with an expressionless face, waved his hand disdainfully, and cursed: "Get lost!"
When these followers of Mao Caigong, who had just escaped death, heard Shao Yun telling them to get out, they felt as if they had been pardoned.
They didn't even care about their miserable appearance and fled from the Qun Yu Pavilion, fearing that Shao Yun would suddenly change his mind and throw them down from the tall Qun Yu Pavilion.
After everyone left, Ningguang showed a miserable smile on her face.
"Thanks……"
Shao Yun turned his head and stared at Ning Guang, and asked excitedly: "Why do you think I came to save you? Ah!"
"I should have stood aside, watched you being humiliated, and then laughed out loud!" Shao Yun's voice became louder and louder.
"But your life is so good! So good! The Rock God actually made a deal with me and let me save you!"
Ningguang smiled as tears rolled down her cheeks.
She used all her strength to shout out, "Thank you!"
Although it was a thank you, this "thank you" was full of despair and collapse.
Shao Yun waved his hands in disgust and urged coldly: "Well, you can say thank you later. Why not take advantage of now to organize people to clean up Liyue's mess!"
Ningguang nodded slightly, forced herself to cheer up, and slowly stood up.
"Okay... I'll go right away..."
……
On the other side, the Fog Sea Islands (Golden Apple Islands)
Wendy sat on the top of a mountain on an island, thinking about how to take care of Ying, Paimon and Shao Yun's daughter.
Suddenly, Zhong left the shield, broke through the wind wall of the archipelago, and rushed in.
When Zhongli saw Venti for the first time, he immediately said the other party's demon name with a frown. Obviously, he was very angry!
"Barbatos!"
Wendy was startled when she saw Zhongli suddenly appear!
"Old man... why are you here..." Wendy widened her eyes in shock.
Zhongli stretched out his hand to Wendy, grabbed it, and asked, "Ying, Paimeng, and Shao Yun's daughter, leave them to me!"
Wendy's eyes narrowed. How did Yan Shen know this? The only explanation was that Shao Yun had brought in reinforcements!
As both are gods of their generation, the gap between Zhongli and Venti is not that big.
Wendy has a church, and the faith of all Mondstadt is always focused on him.
Zhongli, the longest surviving demon god, may have retired now after faking his death, but as the rock god for so long, the faith he has gathered and his strength are no worse than Venti!
Wendy narrowed her eyes and advised, "Grandpa, don't worry about this matter between Shao Yun and me!"
Zhongli casually pointed the tip of the Piercing Rainbow Spear at Wendy and said, "I want to save Liyue! I can't watch Liyue fall into the abyss of desire in the face of interests!"
When Wendy heard that Zhongli wanted to save Liyue, she smiled bitterly. It seemed that Shao Yun and Zhongli had reached an agreement.
He would not doubt the strength of the God of Contract in enforcing the contract.
"I also want to save Teyvat! We are out of time, and I have no other choice, so I have to threaten Shao Yun with his family!" Wendy explained helplessly.
Zhongli's eyes narrowed, and he asked back, "But, if you threaten Shao Yun like this, do you think there is still a future?"
"I saw it when I came here. Mondstadt has been covered by snow and wind. Shao Yun can be threatened by you, but the Abyss Cult is seeking revenge on you!"
"How long do you think Mond can last under the snow? A week, half a month? Wake up, don't be stubborn!"
When Venti saw Zhongli mentioned Mondstadt's current situation, he felt really distressed, but there was nothing he could do!
If the crisis of Nata could be delayed for a few years, he would not have kidnapped Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun's daughter!
"I know! I know it all. I can hear the people of Mondstadt praying to me, but what can I do?"
Zhongli begged: "Please stop..."
Wendy shook his head. There was no turning back!
"Old man, I know you came to me to ask for someone to protect Liyue. Feng has told me what happened in Liyue. Can't you return as the Rock God and hold on for another hundred years?"
When Zhongli heard that Wendy wanted him to rehire the "Geogod", he said distressedly: "You are so easy to say! Liyue is no longer under the control of immortals. Desire is destroying Liyue! I can take action now, but what about later?"
"How can we go on with a Liyue Harbor that is like a giant baby? When all the immortals pass away, Liyue will be doomed!"
Then, Zhongli stated the most crucial reason.
"And, most importantly, I promised Shao Yun. If he knew that he had finished the work and I had not fulfilled my promise..."
Zhongli didn't dare to continue talking after this. There was nothing that madman Shao Yun couldn't do!
Upon hearing this, Wendy understood that Zhongli was determined to snatch Ying, Paimeng and Shao Yun's daughter away from her.
“Old man, there’s no point in saying more…” As soon as he finished speaking, Barbatos casually swung his hand and took out his bow and arrow “Poem of the Final Sigh”.
"Let's duel!"
