Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 143: It was all just a fleeting moment; love can never be rekindled.

One dares to ask, the other dares to answer.

They really don't care about the people involved at all.

"She doesn't understand your inner self at all. If she did, maybe she would..."

At this point, Paimon paused and looked Zhongli up and down.

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't bring herself to say them.

Is it true that Zhongli's inner qualities are lacking?

Isn't this going against one's conscience?

Aside from his love of taking advantage of others, Zhong Li seems to have no flaws.

Unlike the drunkards of Mondstadt, even his own family members advised the drunkards to do something worthwhile.

He wasn't like the country girl from Inazuma, whose even her own family opposed her orders...

He is even less like Mount Sumeru...

In short, Zhongli was like a perfect person, capable of everything and knowledgeable about everything.

His tendency to take advantage of others for free is more like a persona that makes him seem less perfect and more approachable.

After a moment, Paimon said, "Then wouldn't Miss Yue'er like you even more?"

After understanding Zhong Li's inner self, how many people wouldn't be moved?

Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it.

Zhong Li's personal charm is simply too powerful!

In Liyue, there are only Emperor fans and twisted Emperor fans, as well as Zhongli, the only little black-hearted one.

In response to Paimon's question, Zhong Li pondered for a moment before replying very seriously, "Paimon, generally speaking, nothing is absolute. Perhaps Miss Yue'er only likes my appearance?"

"As mentioned before, people's pursuit of beautiful things is different."

"Some people stay with you from beginning to end, while others change a little because of something or someone..."

Upon hearing this, the women subconsciously looked at Shui Yue'er behind Shui Bing'er, their eyes filled with pity.

terrible!

This Martial God and his Martial Soul Paimon are truly terrifying!

They weren't even a little embarrassed to talk about such things in the street.

Let's discuss this directly in front of Shuiyue'er, the person in question!

Shui Yue'er's eyes darted away; at that moment, she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

How embarrassing!

It's not a big deal for her to be infatuated with someone in the street, since she's beautiful, has a great figure, and is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has long legs.

It's a privilege reserved for beautiful women. As a beautiful woman, isn't it something to be admired by her?

But Zhong Li's actions are tantamount to public execution!

Don't tell me, really don't tell me!

Zhong Li's last sentence was indeed correct; she only liked appearances, mainly handsome men.

As for the inner world, it's not like we're in a relationship, why think so much about it?

Liking something is fine, that's a normal thing.

Just like how men like beautiful women.

What do you mean by fickle? Don't talk nonsense!

It's just an appreciation of beautiful things!

Xue Qinghe stared blankly at Zhong Li, then glanced at Shui Yue'er, whose face was pale.

At this moment, she actually felt a pang of pity for Shui Yue'er.

Thank goodness!

She never communicated these issues with Zhongli using her original identity, appearance, or manner.

Even if you want to talk about things you like, you should find a secluded place...

Xue Qinghe made up her mind and thought to herself with her fists clenched.

So straight...too straight!

He really...

No wonder he's so handsome, strong, and has such a great presence.

Yet this seemingly perfect man had no descendants and not even a hint of scandal.

You know, even her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had a few scandals!

Seeing Zhongli still talking incessantly, analyzing the human mentality behind the pursuit of beautiful things, and the diversity and complexity of human nature...

Xue Qinghe felt his head buzzing.

But Paimon, the little guy, listened with great interest.

Gui Zhong: "Morax, we're together..."

Zhongli: "Okay, let's build Liyue together, so that our people can..."

Gui Zhong: "Morax, this is the Lock of the Mortal World (a token of love). Open it, and you will obtain..."

Zhong Li: "With you here, I don't need your wisdom..."

In the end: "..."

This Demon God of Dust has been teasing Zhongli for thousands of years, yet Zhongli has not changed in the slightest. One can imagine just how difficult it is.

The Demon God of Dust has returned to the end, and the Demon God of Rock, Morax, has returned.

Dust and rock are a match made in heaven, aren't they?

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on us.

The group from Tianshui were now at a loss, unsure whether to leave or stay.

The scene was extremely awkward, making this group of pretty girls want to dig out a three-bedroom apartment from the ground with their toes.

Shuiyue'er was stunned, and her gaze toward Zhongli became increasingly clear!

Gradually, her eyes became very clear, as if they had never been polluted by any substance.

From now on, she felt she wouldn't be so easily infatuated anymore.

She thinks twice before acting if she sees a handsome man!

Zhongli is not only a strong person, but also has such superb medical skills that he is practically a divine doctor.

In such a short time, he actually cured Shuiyue'er's infatuation, which is truly a testament to his superb medical skills. The illness was cured even before the medicine was administered.

Even rocks have a heart, how could Zhongli not?

However, his heart may have closed itself off at the moment of his passing.

Perhaps it was only when Morax finally vanished in his arms that he truly saw his own heart.

However, it was too late.

Years pass in the blink of an eye, and the tender feelings between lovers are as fleeting as a night-blooming cereus...

It was all just a fleeting moment; love can never be rekindled.

After a long pause, amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, Zhong Li finally stopped speaking.

"Your Majesty, God of War, Your Highness, we...we have urgent business!"

"Goodbye... goodbye!"

Shui Bing'er mustered her courage and spoke.

If Zhongli continues, the sisters Shuiyue'er might have to wait many years to recover...

Without waiting for Zhongli and Xue Qinghe to say anything, the group hurriedly ran away as if fleeing.

It is said that the God of War is very knowledgeable. Because of his knowledge, he was praised by the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, who personally invited him to serve as a guest minister in the Crown Prince's mansion.

Seeing it for myself today, I can confirm its reputation is well-deserved!

It would be even better if the person involved wasn't them!

"Why?"

Zhong Li was taken aback, and subconsciously murmured, "Paimon, did I say something wrong?"

Zhong Li has enough confidence in her own insights!

An ordinary person who lives for 180 or 190 years can see through many things.

Over his thousands of years, he has witnessed countless human beings, so these analyses should be without any problems.

"No, is everything alright?"

Paimon looked at the retreating figures of the women from Tianshui as they fled in panic, and said with some uncertainty.

Xue Qinghe fell silent, looked up at the sky, and felt that the road ahead was shrouded in darkness.

"Guest sir, have you ever thought about this?"

Zhong Li turned his head and looked at Xue Qinghe, who had a solemn expression and seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, with some doubt.

"No matter how big Shuiyue'er's heart is, she's still just a teenage girl..."
