Chapter 331 Ling Yuan: Help me take care of my daughter
"When we meet again after a long separation, let's not talk about such things."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Zhongli took the initiative to end the topic.
He turned sideways, looked at the crowd and said:
"This is the first time we meet. I am Morax, the god of Liyue. Liyue's name is Zhongli. You can just call me Zhongli."
After introducing each other, Zhongli made a greeting gesture towards the chair.
Everyone took their seats.
"The glass vegetables in Liuliting are one of Liyue's specialties. I hope it can match the taste." Zhongli exercised his responsibility as a host.
The contract respects fairness and reciprocity.
In this regard, Morax was strict with himself.
"Don't eat in a hurry yet, I'll bring a jug of good wine." Wendy said.
"Oh? Being able to be called a good wine by you is extremely rare. I will definitely have a few drinks." Zhongli chuckled a few times.
"Hmph, I'm not bragging, this is much better than your immortal wine."
Zhongli smiled as he watched Wendy take out a golden wine flask from her arms.
Immediately afterwards, red wine was poured from the flask.
The mellow aroma of wine instantly filled the entire private room.
"Indeed, it is a very good wine." He gently picked up a glass, smelled it, and said.
Zhongli shook the wine glass in his hand and asked abruptly: "Wendy, you didn't add water, did you?"
Wendy: “…”
"puff."
"Ahem."
"..."
Looking at Wendy's green face, everyone couldn't help laughing.
"Is it funny? Is it funny? What's so funny." Wendy cursed.
As a loyal believer, Barbara's face was solemn, and her twitching cheeks showed that she was working hard.
After finishing speaking, Wendy looked at Zhongli resentfully and muttered: "Do you not believe me so much?"
Zhongli smiled slightly.
Then he drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh! You drank, ten million molas!"
Wendy's eyes lit up and she immediately stretched out her hand.
Ling Yuan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Barbara and Jean facepalmed.
Shameful.
Zhongli seemed to have been used to Wendy's lion's big mouth, and he just made a contemplative gesture:
"Ten million molas... does not sound like much at first glance, but based on common rationality, it is indeed a huge number."
"Morax without Mora?" Wendy asked rhetorically.
"Indeed." Zhongli said calmly.
Wendy: “…”
Zhongli poured himself another quilt and slowly said:
"As the Emperor of the Rock King, Morax, I can naturally create Mora easily, but since I have chosen a mortal identity like [Zhongli], I should follow the rules of a mortal."
"Lord Barbatos, please don't say some unintelligible words." Qin also said.
"Tch." Wendy curled her lips.
He sat down without interest.
After three rounds of drinking
Jean and Barbara were embarrassed.
I saw Wendy who looked like an alcoholic, holding a wine bottle in one hand and holding Zhongli's neck with the other, talking about Tewarin's own goal.
"Sorry, I made you laugh." Qin said to several people with a blushing face.
"This is the god of Mondstadt..."
Shen He's expression was a little dazed.
It was difficult for her to associate the drunkard in front of her with a god.
Zhongli drank tea calmly.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Obviously he has not experienced this feeling for a long time, which also means that the two of them are really good friends.
In fact, Liyue and Mond are also on good terms.
"Everyone, I wonder if you can take a good look at Liyue?"
Pushing Wendy's face away with one hand, Zhongli looked at everyone and asked.
He speaks with moderation, like a handsome gentleman.
"Not yet, Zhongli, do you have any recommendations?"
Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I recommend going to the port to have a look."
"That's the center of Liyue and the most prosperous area. The scenery is pleasant."
"Blowing the sea breeze can also relieve fatigue. It is a place I highly recommend." Zhongli said.
"Is that so? Then Cecilia, you guys go to the port first."
"Brother Lingyuan, aren't you going?" Keli asked.
After touching Keli's head, Ling Yuan said: "There is a place I want to go to."
"Then let's meet at the port later."
"Um."
"Um, Lord Barbatos..." Barbara looked at Wendy lying on Zhongli's back and hesitated.
"Everyone, go and play, I will take care of Wendy," Zhongli said.
"Excuse me, Lord Iwagami." Qin said.
Just like that, everyone separated.
And after Ling Yuan left Liuli Pavilion,
A girl with reddish-brown gradient twin ponytails quietly emerged from the building opposite.
He glanced at Qin and others heading to the port, and then at Ling Yuan who was walking towards Yujing Terrace alone.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to catch up with Ling Yuan.
After all, it’s easy to start with one person!
After feeling that Hu Tao has been lurking outside,
Zhongli couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
He patted Wendy on the head gently: "Okay, stop pretending, they are all gone."
"Something seems to have happened on Sky Island recently. The eyes that were always watching us disappeared."
Following Zhongli's words, Wendy, who had been drunk, gradually returned to normal.
He left Zhongli's shoulder with his chin, sat down on the dining table, and looked at the mural behind Zhongli: "To be honest, if Ling Yuan hadn't invited me, I wouldn't have come to Liyue."
Zhongli was not surprised by Wendy's words: "Your heart of God has been taken away."
"Haha, yes, not only was it taken away, but it was also beaten up by Fatty. It was really violent." Wendy touched her chest.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been beaten in thousands of years.
Before the clock left her mouth, Wendy sighed: "It's a pity that I can't help it. Who said I owe her this? It's natural to have resentment."
"The Flame Witch Rosalin, her strength is not inferior to that of ordinary demon gods." Zhong Li took a sip of tea and said.
"What about you? Have you thought about it?"
Hearing Wendy's words, Zhongli closed his eyes.
"On a drizzly day, I was walking in the port and heard a businessman praising his subordinates."
"You have completed your duties. Now, go and rest."
"I just thought, have I completed my duties?"
Wendy: "emmm"
If you haven't finished it yet, what does he mean by sleeping and fishing all day long?
Putting the teacup down, Zhongli looked forward: "I'm hesitant."
"Why are you hesitating? Why don't you let it go like me?" Wendy said.
Zhongli chuckled: "You are still as carefree as before."
"Because I am the wind." Wendy smiled.
"The wind is unpredictable and ever-changing."
“Even solid rock will [wear] away as time goes by.”
Zhongli's eyes were distant, as if the whole of Liyue was covered in his eyes.
"It has been more than 3,700 years since I established Liyue. In the eyes of the people of Liyue, I am an eternal god. Even the oracles issued by me will be carried out unconditionally."
As if reading Zhongli's thoughts, Wendy asked: "Are you worried that your departure will plunge Liyue into chaos?"
Zhongli closed his eyes: "When I was about to step down from the throne, I realized that there were many questions to think about. Is Liyue ready to enter the next era?"
"To put it simply, it's a child's choice after facing the death of his parents, right?" Wendy smiled.
Zhongli chuckled: "It's a very vivid metaphor."
squeak--
At this time
the door opens
Zhongli and Wendy both looked stiff.
I saw Ling Yuan walking in from outside the door, looking at the two people in the room who were stunned, and smiled slightly: "Um, I'm sorry, you continue."
"Why are you back again?" Wendy said.
"I suddenly remembered in the middle, Zhongli, could you please help me take care of my daughter?" Ling Yuan said.
