Genshin Impact, My Villain System Is a Bit Abnormal

"It's nothing, it's just... I need some time to get used to it..."

After hearing the system's explanation, Jiang Ning felt somewhat relieved.

As expected of a god of extreme gentleness, he didn't have a single bad thought about me...

"Salt God... uh, my lord?" Jiang Ning asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you right now? And how did you wake up?"

Heureia chuckled softly: "Just call me Heureia, that's fine. The Salt God is dead, and I inexplicably feel a lot more relaxed..."

'As for what happened, I'm not entirely sure myself. My power should have dissipated into the world. Even if another Salt Demon were to be born in the future, it wouldn't be Heulia.'

'My remaining power was left in the container holding the salt, and it will gradually dissipate over time. But it must have been absorbed by you. I don't know what method you used, but you made my power much more solid. I've been nurturing it within you for the past few days. I only regained consciousness this morning when you went out to buy breakfast, and I took a look at Liyue now.'

"Nourish it within my body..."

Jiang Ning hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

However, Heureia, being a demon goddess who had lived for so many years, comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I can't see what you're thinking. Besides, even though I'm inside your body, the initiative is still yours. If there's anything you don't want me to see or know, you can block me out."

"I see..." Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, otherwise I'd always feel like I'm being watched.

'Little one, tell me about Liyue and Teyvat now, I'm very curious.'

Heurelia said.

Jiang Ning collected his thoughts, put away the Blade of the Peak-Slaying Sword, and then began to slowly recount the history of the present day.

After about a morning, Heulia, though still somewhat unsatisfied, temporarily stopped asking questions.

Her tone was tinged with melancholy, yet also with joy: 'I see… With seven gods in power, the people live in peace and prosperity… excellent.'

Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.

It's true that the Seven Gods are in power, but whether they can live in peace and prosperity... is uncertain.

While Shizuka was thinking about how to obtain the Heart of God from other countries, he acted arrogantly and domineeringly in other countries. It is said that the people of Inazuma are about to starve to death and are also in the midst of a civil war.

Nata... I've heard there's been a constant war? Mondstadt, on the other hand, is practically riddled with holes by the Fatui.

Sumi was unaware of the situation, but, based on the information Jiang Ning knew, only Liyue and Fontaine were safe and sound.

"By the way, can you come out of my body? Or, can you talk to people other than me?"

Jiang Ning asked.

"I can't separate right now. I can only do so after the Salt Power is replenished. Of course, I'll need a new body then. But once I'm separated, all my powers will belong to you. That's fine; I can live like an ordinary person then."

'Talking to other people... seems like it might work, I can try.'

Heurelia said.

Jiang Ning said, "Let me make this clear beforehand: I am a disciple of the immortals, so just to be on the safe side, I need to let my master know about your matter."

"No problem. Back then, I had a good relationship with Dust King Gui Zhong of Liyue, and we also had very friendly business dealings with Liyue."

Heureia readily agreed.

"Just say what you want to say. I won't waste my breath. I'm feeling a bit tired; I need to rest for a while."

"Alright, I'll call you again when I see my master."

Jiang Ning said.

After saying that, Heureia fell silent.

Jiang Ning pondered, realizing that he would need to be a little more careful when absorbing the resentment of powerful demons in the future...

But... what kind of system makes you consult the user manual afterward? It's exhausting.

But right now, the most important thing is to find the master and explain the situation.

…………

I've been looking for Master Xianyun for ages, but I can't find him anywhere.

Even Grandma Ping didn't know.

Left with no other choice, they had to go find Zhongli.

Fortunately, Zhongli was easy to find; he was listening to a storybook at the moment.

I ordered a pot of fine tea and some delicious snacks, and occupied a table by myself, leisurely listening to Tian Tiezui telling his story.

Jiang Ning didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly in front of Zhong Li, then said:

"Master, there's something I'd like to ask you about."

Zhongli slowly put down his teacup and asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment, then asked Zhong Li, "Master, it's just that after absorbing Heulia's authority, I found that there's something extra in my body."

"What is that?" Zhong Li frowned and grabbed Jiang Ning's wrist.

The divine power circulated through Jiang Ning's body, leaving him utterly perplexed.

"No problem...it just means we have more authority over the Salt God."

Jiang Ning looked around, and Zhong Li, understanding, stood up and said:

"Let's go find a quiet place."

"Mr. Zhongli, the bill..."

A waiter quickly asked.

Zhongli said, "Just like usual, the bill can be sent to the Hall of Rebirth."

"Alright! Mr. Zhongli, take care, and welcome to come again next time!"

The waiter said enthusiastically.

Jiang Ning's strange look didn't break Zhong Li's calm expression. Following Zhong Li, they arrived at Tianheng Mountain. After confirming that no one was around, Jiang Ning finally spoke:

"Well, I'll have her tell you herself..."

“Morac, it’s been a long time. I’m Heureia… You seem to be doing well.”

Heureya's voice rang out, seemingly pleased to see an old friend.

Hmm...hmm? Hmm hmm hmm? ? ?

Jiang Ning was stunned, staring at Zhong Li in disbelief, his mouth agape.

"Morax? Who? Master?!"

Jiang Ning's voice cracked.

Zhong Li narrowed his eyes. This was not the time to explain or care about the fact that his disguise had been unintentionally revealed.

Now there are more important things to do.

Because Heulia's voice came from inside Jiang Ning's body, Zhong Li's dragon eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning:

"Heureia? An old friend has returned?"

"It is I, Morax. I thought I would just disappear into the world, but I didn't expect to have some good fortune and recover. This is also thanks to your disciple."

Heureia, as if she had been alone for so many years, had become somewhat talkative:

"You really have a very good disciple. But it's no wonder, only you in Liyue could teach someone so outstanding."

A hint of reminiscence flickered in Zhongli's eyes before she said, "It's a pleasure to see you."

I long to buy osmanthus blossoms and share wine with you, but will my dear friend be able to return?

"Jiang Ning, how did you do that?"

Zhongli asked Jiang Ning, his words filled with expectation.

Jiang Ning finally managed to interject, quickly asking, "Wait a minute, Master, are you Morax? The Rock King? Huh? Aren't you a sage?!"

Zhongli said, "First of all, I have never claimed to be an immortal. Secondly, from a general rational point of view, Morax is known as the ancestor of all immortals, so it is not wrong to say that he is an immortal."

"Did the masters all know, and then they kept it from us younger generation?"

Jiang Ning suddenly thought of something.

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded.

"I just want to live a peaceful life. After all these years of protecting Liyue, I'm a little tired. Please don't tell anyone."

"Yes, Master..."

Jiang Ning nodded, but he was somewhat puzzled.

No, then why would it be beneficial for Liyue to usurp the throne... I get it now. If this were ancient times, wouldn't I be the crown prince? And an only son at that?

Oh no, I'm even more privileged than the privileged second-generation rich kids!

“Master…” Jiang Ning thought of something and summoned the Geo elemental, “I sensed that the Geo elemental you gave me was somewhat unusual, could it be…”

"My authority is involved here. Now that you know my identity, I might as well tell you directly: if you can pass my test, then you will be my successor."

Jiang Ning felt a pressure pressing down on his shoulders.

The task is left there and will be completed naturally. There's no need to worry about legitimacy, and even after 'usurping' the throne, there's no need to worry about the senior sisters turning against you.

But the question is, what kind of assessment is this?

"The time hasn't come yet; when it does, you'll know."

Zhongli said.

“Riddlers are the worst…” Jiang Ning muttered.

Heureia said weakly, "Molacs, did I do something wrong?"
