I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Ying, who was standing nearby, was stunned when she heard this. He just agreed like that? Li Xiao actually won over Hu Tao so easily?

You should know that she often found Hu Tao difficult to deal with, as she had a lot of strange and unusual ideas every day, and she often took her around causing trouble.

Although she actually enjoyed causing trouble.

Li Xiao was also a little surprised that Hu Tao agreed so quickly. "Didn't you say last time that you would only agree if you achieved something?"

Hu Tao explained, "That's because you don't understand. Ning Guang is a woman who never does anything that doesn't make a profit."

Since she thinks this method is feasible, then there must be no problem! In that case, what difference does it make whether I agree sooner or later?

"Very well, very well!" Li Xiao clapped his hands and laughed. "Since you treat me so well, Hu Tao, how about I give you a chance too?"

"Opportunity? What do you mean?" Hu Tao's eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Li Xiao spoke mysteriously, "Today, Ying, Zhongli, and I had dinner together and talked about something. Do you know what it was?"

"What is it?" Hu Tao asked cooperatively.

"It's resurrection~ I recently acquired a new skill that allows me to resurrect the deceased."

"What?"

Hu Tao's pupils contracted sharply, her face filled with disbelief, and her brain momentarily went blank.

Li Xiao silently sipped his tea, waiting for her to react.

Before long, Hu Tao's expression suddenly turned serious. Looking at Li Xiao, she said, "Do you want to disrupt the order of life and death, yin and yang?"

As the head of the Hall of Rebirth and the maintainer of the order of Yin and Yang, Hu Tao has her own beliefs and cannot stand by and watch such a thing happen.

“How can this be considered disrupting order?” Li Xiao replied seriously. “This is a true resurrection, not turning into a zombie or anything like that, and it doesn’t count as blasphemy against the dead.”

"That won't do! If everyone pursues resurrection, the whole world will descend into chaos!"

Who doesn't have some regrets? Everyone has friends and family they wish could be resurrected. If everyone were resurrected, the whole world would be overcrowded.

"I certainly wouldn't resurrect people casually. Apart from the people I care about, the life and death of others are none of my business."

"Stop, okay?"

Hu Tao grasped his hand and pleaded with him.

She knew she couldn't stop Li Xiao, so she could only try to persuade him to give up in this way.

"Sigh~" Li Xiao sighed, "I just said I was going to give you a chance, do you know what it is?"

"...What is it?"

In fact, Hu Tao already had a premonition.

"I can help you resurrect your loved ones. I've heard from others that you were raised by your grandfather, haven't you? Don't you want to see him one more time?"

“Grandpa…” Hu Tao’s eyes trembled as she recalled the time she had spent with her grandfather.

Those warm and happy days can only be relived in dreams now.

She remembered her grandfather's kind smile, how he taught her to dig a hole to bury people, and how he told her the ancient stories of Liyue.

Now, all of this has become a distant memory, leaving only endless longing and regret.

If she could, she really wanted to see him again.

But.....

Hu Tao shook her head, feeling a pang of pain in her heart, but still said, "No! If Grandpa knew about this, he wouldn't agree to the resurrection!"

But Li Xiao laughed when he heard this. He stood up, patted her shoulder, and said in a calm tone, "It's his business if he disagrees, but whether you want to or not is your business."

Hu Tao suddenly fell silent.

Her inner convictions clashed with her familial bonds, causing her great inner turmoil. She was the head of the Rebirth Hall, but she was also her grandfather's granddaughter!

“Li Xiao, I understand your good intentions, but I cannot accept it.” Hu Tao’s voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were firm. “I cannot let my personal desires override life and death; otherwise, I will lose many more important things.”

Li Xiao felt a pang of emotion upon hearing her words.

Hu Tao's persistence and sense of responsibility made him like Hu Tao even more, but at the same time, it also made him feel a little troubled.

He worried that if she were given the chance to live forever in the future, she might refuse for the same reason.

It seems he needs to find a way to respect Walnut's wishes while ensuring their relationship remains unaffected.

But if she really doesn't want to, he'll have to force her. After all, he doesn't want to see Hu Tao grow old many years later.

"Then think about it again. I'll always keep this opportunity for you. You can come to me anytime you decide."

Finally, Li Xiao said this.

The next day, Li Xiao was leisurely basking in the sun in the courtyard of the Rebirth Hall. Suddenly, a deep, steady voice rang in his ears.

"Please come to Mount Ozo for a gathering."

Upon recognizing Zhongli's voice, Li Xiao didn't hesitate and immediately headed to Mount Aozang.

When we arrived, we found that a large group of people were already waiting there.

Xiao, the Three Immortals of Jueyun, Granny Ping, Gan Yu, Shen He, and Yan Fei—all these immortals and their disciples had arrived.

They were all standing, except Zhongli, who was sitting at a stone table, having pulled out a tea set from somewhere and was leisurely drinking tea.

Upon his arrival, everyone present immediately turned their attention to him.

Wow! So many people!

Li Xiao smiled and waved to the immortals.

"You're the new Wind God, Li Xiao?"

A large bird with blue feathers on its head stared at him with an unfriendly expression and spoke.

Li Xiao ignored her tone and politely replied, "Yes, I am Li Xiao. This must be True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, right?"

"Hmph! It's you! Not only did you lust after the beauty of my master and me, but you also tarnished the Emperor's reputation?"

Liu Yun snorted coldly, clearly extremely dissatisfied with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao was a little confused. "I admit I was attracted to beauty, but when did I ever slander Zhong Li's reputation?"

Hearing his words, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng angrily said, "You still dare to argue?! We all know very well what you did at the Immortal Invitation Ceremony! You spread rumors that the Emperor is your own child and that you even murdered your father, how do you explain that?"

What's most infuriating is that she initially believed it, wondering why the Emperor had to keep his child a secret from them.

If Zhongli hadn't appeared today and made her realize that Zhongli was actually the Emperor, she would have been completely fooled by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao looked at Zhong Li, "Didn't you explain it to them?"

Zhongli said calmly, "I have a contract with you, so we cannot discuss this matter."

Moreover, Li Xiao had already ruined his reputation, so Liu Yun wasn't wrong.

Li Xiao explained to Liu Yun, "Zhong Li agreed to this, so you can't blame me."

Liu Yun wanted to retort, but Grandma Ping suddenly spoke up: "Alright, Liu Yun, we didn't come here today for these things."

She was still in the form of an old woman. Her eyes, adorned with reading glasses, looked at Li Xiao and said, "Li Xiao, right? I wonder if you still remember me?"

Li Xiao said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh...of course I remember."

Having once peeked at Grandma Ping taking a bath, he naturally felt a bit guilty at this moment.

Grandma Ping smiled faintly and said, "It's good that you remember. Now, let me ask you, is it true that you can resurrect the deceased?"

Li Xiao nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course it's true. I would never lie about something like this."

Upon hearing this answer, Grandma Ping lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "Then can we change the conditions? You know, these things ultimately come down to mutual consent, don't they?"

What you say makes a lot of sense, but I refuse.

Li Xiao smiled and shook her head.

"Is that so..." Grandma Ping wasn't surprised by this answer. Since Li Xiao was willing to make such a request, he certainly wouldn't give up easily.

"Could you revive one person first as a demonstration, so that we have a better understanding?"

This is the result of their discussion last night. We need to confirm it first before we pay the price.

Although it was extremely difficult for them to suddenly have a man after so many years of seclusion, they were all willing to compromise in order to see their old friends.

"No problem, but you know the price to pay."

"Hmph! I'll do it this time!"

With elegant crane-like steps and his head held high, True Lord Liuyun walked arrogantly to Li Xiao, his eyes revealing disdain.

She didn't believe Li Xiao would do anything to her in crane form; at worst, she would simply stop transforming into human form.

"You can do whatever you want to me, but you're not allowed to lay a finger on my two disciples!"

"Oh? But then you won't have enough people, will you?"

Li Xiao was a little confused. Wasn't it supposed to be a one-for-one exchange? There weren't even enough characters who had appeared in the game to revive them all, were there?

Liu Yunniao raised his chin and said confidently, "I'm in good health; I can easily take on the work of three people!"

"True Lord Liuyun!" Gan Yu hurriedly walked over, glanced at her with a hint of helplessness, and then apologized to Li Xiao: "I'm sorry, Li Xiao, let's proceed as you and the Emperor agreed. However, Shen He is still young and has nothing to do with this matter, so she won't participate."

Li Xiao's gaze shifted to the tree in the distance, where Shen He, who had been silent all along, stood.

Her long, silver-white hair, delicate face, aloof demeanor, and unusually strange attire, though not outwardly displayed, along with the red threads wrapped around her body, all contributed to her allure.

To be honest, Shen He really appealed to his tastes, and he definitely didn't want to let him go.

"What if I could solve Shen He's fate problem?" he proposed a new condition.

"Is this really true?!" True Lord Liuyun exclaimed in surprise.

She had been troubled by her disciple's fate for a long time, and even the Emperor had said he was powerless to help.

After all, Shen He is not an immortal and will one day have to return to the life of an ordinary person. However, with her emotions bound by the red rope, Liu Yun is worried about whether she can adapt to that kind of life.
