"I didn't touch. I poked him..."

But when faced with Yura's murderous gaze, Jiang Ning still chickened out.

"sorry."

"Hmph, I'll let it go this time, but there will be a next time..."

Yura glared at him fiercely. This was something only her future husband could touch. If there was a next time, she could expect to be forced to marry into his family.

The thought flashed through her mind, but Yura quickly suppressed it. She didn't like this person at all.

This person is just too despicable. Yes, I'm going to get revenge on him. He's number one on my revenge list.

How's Barbara's work at church lately?

Jiang Ning quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, it's the church. It's just work, so I'm on vacation."

Barbara's expression was very calm.

"I also have more time to sing and dance now, which makes me very happy."

Jiang Ning exclaimed in surprise, "What's wrong with you? You seem... so different."

Barbara gave a weary smile: "Any church member who knew what you said would feel powerless, wouldn't they?"

"What? Jiang Ning, what did you say?"

Amber was very curious.

“Since you left, Barbara doesn’t feel as devout anymore; it’s more like clocking in and out of get off work.”

Yura is strange too.

Jiang Ning said, "Well, it's best if you don't know this secret. Or you can ask Qin; she knows all the inside information."

This made Yura and Amber even more curious, but since it was said to be a secret... and considering Barbara's appearance, it was better not to know.

…………

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Ning also showed his little coconut sheep what it felt like to eat without gaining weight.

Incidentally, Gan Yu has been carefully preparing the breakfast milk for Jiang Ning these past few days.

However, Jiang Ning did not fool around with Shen He and Gan Yu last night.

Because today is the day for the ritual of inviting the immortals.

"I really didn't expect this, this is the second time I've seen this ritual of inviting immortals."

Jiang Ning stood in the same VIP seat as last year, remarking with emotion.

"So, it's been a year since you and your junior brother and sister entered the mortal world. It feels like a lot has changed and many things have happened in this year."

Gan Yu smiled gently.

"Yes, things are unpredictable, like intestines wrapped around small intestines... But are you sure Ying and Paimon will come? We haven't seen a single one of them."

Jiang Ning turned to look at Youla and the others.

Yura was now somewhat uncertain: "I guess so?"

Amber was a little worried: "Could something have happened on the way?"

Yura shook her head: "It's unlikely. I know how skilled Ying is. She won't get into any trouble. Besides, we only separated after entering Liyue territory."

Although I'm envious, the safety of Liyue is much better than that of Mondstadt.

Whether it's a treasure-hunting group, a group of fools, or a secret realm left behind by a demon god, they are all extremely rare.

They have almost disappeared.

As long as you don't forget to venture into remote, sparsely populated areas, the probability of encountering these things is basically zero.

This was also thanks to the efforts of Jiang Ning and Xian Yun. Of course, the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons was also exhausted during this period, but the thought of bringing his brothers and sisters back filled him with energy.

'Wow, is Morax's annual invocation ceremony really that extravagant? I'm a little envious.'

Heuria's voice echoed in Jiang Ning's mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Her discerning eye was in no way inferior to Zhongli's; after all, she was also a demon god, and all the items used in the summoning ceremony were of the highest quality.

"Yes, my mentor never plays in low-level games."

Jiang Ning spoke quietly.

Whether it's a war between demons or the current practice of walking birds and listening to opera, it has to be the best.

“Ah, I see fireflies,” Barbara said.

Ying and Paimon had to go through a lot of trouble to squeeze to the front of the crowd. Looking at the scene in front of them, they smiled with relief.

"I'll go bring them over... Never mind, it's already started."

Gan Yu looked at Ning Guang in her elegant white cheongsam and saw her about to make a move, but had to give up.

Unlike Keqing's time, Ningguang used a gem made of rock element to light the incense burner, and then all the procedures and rituals proceeded in an orderly manner.

Only at the very end did they loudly proclaim, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

However, this time the emperor did not arrive with auspicious golden clouds; instead, he brought with him an ominous aura.

Black clouds rolled in, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as well as cries of agony. The people below were in an uproar and began to feel tense and uneasy.

Ningguang also had a solemn expression. No matter what had happened, the Thousand Rock Army around her immediately went on alert. At this moment, the discipline of the Thousand Rock Army was on full display.

The next moment, a dragon fell from the sky and crashed heavily onto the altar. The dragon's head struggled to lift, but in the end, it drooped down helplessly.

The shock of that moment left everyone speechless; they seemed to have forgotten to breathe, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

"The emperor has been killed, the whole place is sealed off!"

After Ningguang stepped forward to observe, she immediately realized that regardless of the facts, she should first take control of the people present.

All the Thousand Rock Army soldiers mobilized together and began to control the scene amidst the hustle and bustle.

Jiang Ning's eyes widened. Although he knew his master was going to give him a test, he didn't expect to be given such a big task right off the bat.

"Senior sister..." Jiang Ning looked at the bewildered Gan Yu and was about to speak when she saw Ying and Paimeng sneaking out of the crowd with wary expressions.

Jiang Ning: "...???"

No, what are you two doing?! Why are you sneaking away at this time? You didn't do this, and now you're the prime suspects!

"The Rock King...is he dead?"

Yura and the others also looked completely bewildered.

Jiang Ning recalled that his master hadn't told him, and couldn't reveal his guess, so he felt relieved.

Master, are you doing this to prepare for retirement? Fine, fine, let's just put on an act openly.

Jiang Ning said nonchalantly, "What are you thinking? How could the Emperor be dead?"

Gan Yu looked at Jiang Ning as if she had grasped at a lifeline.

For Gan Yu, the Geo Archon is not only the faith of the Liyue people, but also the person Gan Yu admires most. To Gan Yu, Morax is like the most stable and responsible elder in a family, protecting the growth of the younger generation.

"Let's go downstairs and talk about it."

As expected, the Thousand Rock Army went to arrest Luminous, but Luminous escaped the scene with the help of Prince D'Artagnan. So, under Ningguang's instructions, no matter what, Luminous's status as a wanted criminal is temporarily off the table.

"Sister Ningguang."

Jiang Ning came to Ning Guang's side and looked at Ning Guang, who had a headache.

Ningguang said, "How could this be... sigh."

This truly caught Ningguang completely off guard.

Jiang Ning shared his conjecture: "Actually, the Emperor should not be dead... because whether he was ambushed or died voluntarily, as a demon god, he would unleash the powers that demon gods reveal."

“Even when Heulia, the salt goddess with relatively weak powers, died, the entire salt of the earth was covered with salt grains. Not to mention the Emperor, you see, we are still here and doing just fine.”

Ningguang frowned: "That makes sense... but why, Your Majesty?"

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back and check again. I'll come find you when I have news."

Ningguang nodded slightly: "Then I'll have to trouble you, little brother."

124. Yingmei's Bizarre Adventure

"I'm so sorry to have startled you this time. Please stay in Liyue for a while longer, as Liyue is going to be in turmoil during this period."

Back home, Jiang Ning spoke to the people from Mondstadt.

“Yeah, it’s okay. We’re on holiday anyway, so you can just do what you’re doing,” Amber said.

Yura asked with concern, "Do you need our help?"

"Well, I'll call you if I need anything," Jiang Ning said.

"Junior brother." Shen He also returned, having changed into the crane-themed clothing he wore in the mountains.

"Senior sister, come with me to find Master. Sister Ningguang asked me to ask Master about the Emperor."

Jiang Ning said.

Since Xianyun was in Liyue Harbor, he originally planned to find out the truth and then inform Ningguang of the Celestials. However, he felt that it was impossible to keep it a secret, so he simply sent Jiang Ning to sound out the situation.

"Okay, sure." Shen He nodded.

Gan Yu didn't return because Ning Guang still had a lot of things to do. However, Xiao Ye Yang, comforted by Jiang Ning's conjecture, regained her composure and helped handle various matters.

…………

"master."

Upon arriving at Xianyun's room, Jiang Ning saw Xianyun amidst a pile of parts and books, indicating that he had been in seclusion there for a long time.

"time to eat."

Jiang Ning used the excuse of delivering food to come to Xianyun's side. He noticed that Xianyun's hair was a little wet, and he could also smell a faint fragrance around her.
