Main text: Chapter 193 How many people do you think I'm worth?

A petite girl emerged from the smoke and dust.

Her long, grayish-blue hair was tied into a low ponytail at the back of her neck with a blue hairpin, and two strands of hair hung down at her temples, swaying in the wind. Gradient tassels hung from the interlocking hexagonal headdress.

She wore a blue and white short dress with a black inner garment, and the outer garment was secured with a chain at the junction of her chest and abdomen.

Her hands were hidden inside the sleeves of a large coat with a starry sky pattern on the inside. The sleeves were decorated with rock flowers and connected at the back. Her legs were bare, with hexagonal anklets only around her ankles.

At this moment, she looked at her old friends with a bit of confusion, completely unaware of the current situation.

"Morax, Liuyun, Aping... what's going on? I remember I was already..."

"Finally!"

The most excited were Grandma Ping and Liu Yun. Grandma Ping had somehow returned to her girl form, and Liu Yun had also transformed into a human.

The two men stepped out from the crowd and rushed to Gui Zhong, each taking one of her hands.

"That's wonderful! Gui Zhong, you've really been resurrected!"

Grandma Ping—no, she should be called A-Ping now—who is usually calm and collected, now had tears in her eyes.

"Resurrection? I'm a bit confused right now. Could you explain this to me?"

Surrounded by her two best friends, who seemed so excited, even Yi Gui, with her usually carefree nature, was a little flustered.

Liu Yun remained relatively calm. She adjusted her glasses and began to explain:

"Let me explain. It's actually like this... like this, like this, do you understand now?"

She gave a brief account of what happened after Gui Zhong's death, and how she was resurrected with Li Xiao's help.

"Hmm, I think I understand. You've all worked so hard these past years."

Gui Zhong nodded knowingly, then tilted his head slightly, gave them a smile, and said playfully:

"Should I say 'long time no see'? Although it hasn't been that long for me."

She pulled Gui Zhong and Liu Yun to the front of the others, then let go of them, put her hands on her hips, and said smugly to the crowd:

"Haha! I'm back again!"

Seeing her familiar funny face, everyone smiled.

The True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun proposed, "Since there is such a joyous occasion today, we should celebrate together!"

The True Lord of Flowing Water and Die Mountain echoed, "Absolutely! Absolutely! I'll bring out my fine wine, which I've been brewing for five hundred years, and we'll all have a good drink together!"

"Then I'll prepare the meal. Today I'll show you my newly invented cooking machine!"

True Lord Liuyun was naturally unwilling to fall behind.

Faced with the return of old friends, everyone shed their composure cultivated over the years and seemed to return to their youth, excitedly discussing the various details of the banquet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gui finally approached Li Xiao and Zhong Li.

"This must be Li Xiao, right? Thank you so much this time."

"No need for thanks, after all, this is a fair trade for me."

Gui Zhong shook his head. "No, that's not right. I have truly been resurrected now, and that fact cannot be changed. Please accept my gratitude."

Of course, there's probably nothing I can do to help you. If you ever need anything in the future, just ask Morax; he'll definitely help you.

Zhongli paused for a moment, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Why should I repay your favor?"

Gui Zhong said with a smile, "The capable should do more work, right?"

Zhongli shook his head, completely ignoring her.

"Oh, and also, Li Xiao, you're going to revive other people later, right?" Gui Zhong asked seriously.

Li Xiao answered affirmatively, "Of course, this was agreed upon by Zhong Li and me."

How many people do you think I'm worth?

As she spoke, she tiptoed and twirled lightly in front of Li Xiao.

"You're so direct?" Li Xiao asked, slightly surprised.

Gui Zhong countered, "Wouldn't it be better to be direct? Besides, I can't just watch my friends do things for me while I do nothing, can I?"

"Sure, but I only offer one-for-one trades here."

"Hey~" Gui Zhong placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and approached Li Xiao. "I'm a demon god, you know! I may be a bit weak, but I'm still quite rare, right? I'm worth at least three, no, two people, right?"

"Well..."

Li Xiao rubbed her chin, feeling that what she said made some sense.

"Is that good~"

Gui Zhong deliberately put on a pitiful look and acted coquettishly towards him.

"Hey~ don't do that, it's too fake, I promise you."

"Great!"

Seeing that he agreed, Gui Zhong jumped up happily.

A-Ping, who had been watching from a distance, sighed but didn't interfere further.

The immortal was very efficient and quickly prepared everything needed for the banquet.

The group gathered together, and the True Lord of Lishui Dieshan opened the five-hundred-year-old fine wine and poured a cup for everyone.

The aroma of the wine filled the air, invigorating everyone.

Wow! You guys were drinking and didn't even invite me!

A bard wearing a green hat suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his eyes shining as he stared at the wine in the hands of the True Lord of Water and Mountain.

Of those present, everyone except Gui Zhong, who had never seen Wendy before, recognized the drunkard, Fengshen.

Zhongli spoke up: "Since you're here, please sit down."

"Then I'm not welcome!"

Wendy looked around and saw an empty seat next to Li Xiao, so she quickly sat down.

Li Xiao joked, "You rascal, you only come when there's wine. Do you have a dog's nose?"

Wendy took the wine glass handed to her by the True Lord of Die Shui Die Shan, carefully took a sip, savored it for a moment, and then replied to Li Xiao:

"Hehe, actually I arrived a while ago. I noticed the commotion you made. But I didn't expect that you, Li Xiao, could actually revive others."

At this point, he glanced at Li Xiao, looking somewhat hesitant.

"What, you also have someone you want to resurrect?"

"I have that idea, but I don't have any companions to exchange. How about I take the loss and go myself?"

As she spoke, Wendy leaned closer to Li Xiao, winking at him.

Li Xiao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly pushed him away.

"Get lost."

This Venti isn't the same Venti from Honkai Impact 3rd; he's a guy!

He has no interest in homosexuality, no matter how beautiful Wendy is.

Even Zhong Li, who was sitting on the other side of Li Xiao, moved to the side when he heard Wendy's words, wanting to get away from him.

Wendy scratched his head in frustration. If this still didn't work, he really didn't know what to do.

Seeing his expression, Li Xiao, remembering how he had used the title of "Wind God" to seduce so many beautiful girls and tricked him so many times, decided to give him face and said:

"Promise me one thing, and I'll bring you back to life, okay?"

Wendy raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Tell me about it."

"When the celestial ceremony is held, we will carry the coffin of the Rock King Emperor in the name of the previous Wind God."

"Hiss~ Do you know about this, sir?"

Although Wendy found carrying Morax's coffin quite interesting, he was also a little afraid of being beaten up by Zhongli.

“I know, he had already told me beforehand.”

Zhongli nodded.

"Not only that," Li Xiao said, putting his hand on Zhongli's shoulder and raising an eyebrow at Wendy. "Zhongli is coming too, along with me and the water god Fucarus. Four gods will be carrying his coffin. Pretty impressive, right?"

"Pfft~" Wendy couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Letting him carry his own coffin is hilarious.

Wendy gave Li Xiao a thumbs up, "I agree!"

"You guys seem to be talking about something fun, can I join in?"

At this moment, Gui Zhong, who had overheard their conversation, also came over.

She didn't want to miss out on this persecution of Morax.

Li Xiao felt that this kind of thing was more fun with more people, so she definitely wouldn't refuse.

So he huddled together with Wendy and Guizhong and started discussing it quietly.

"Ah~"

Zhongli sighed and looked up at the sky.

He had a premonition that with Li Xiao, Wendy, Gui Zhong, and Hu Tao all together, he was sure he wouldn't have any peace and quiet in the future.

Everyone drank and made merry, while Ah Ping played the zither and rang the bells to accompany the music, having a wonderful time.

There was an unexpected incident in the middle: Liu Yun's cooking machine exploded after only a short time of operation, leaving her covered in soot and causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Enraged, Liu Yun kicked the cooking machine down the mountain, wondering if some mortal would pick it up and worship it as a celestial treasure.
