“Master Hu, you don’t need to pay this money. I think the fine paid by the Northern Bank should be enough for all subsequent expenses.”

Ningguang's eyes flashed with a cold light. She had no intention of letting the Fatui get away with it. Once Liyue Harbor was stabilized, not a single Fatui member would escape. If she didn't tear a piece of flesh from them, she, Ningguang, would no longer be Ningguang.

Ke Qing had already headed towards the General Affairs Department. She remembered that there seemed to be many 'witnesses' of the Foolish Clan's illegal and disorderly conduct within the General Affairs Department. She wanted to take a look and also go to the Northern Bank to collect the fines.

"Um, why does it feel like the Hall of Rebirth has suddenly disappeared?"

"Don't think like that, Master Hu. These heroes who sacrificed their lives to protect Liyue Harbor all need you to preside over their burial ceremonies. You'll be very busy from now on, Master Hu."

"Then I, the hall master, will have to use the highest level of funeral ceremony below the Immortal Sending Ritual."

As she spoke, Hu Tao ran towards the Hall of Rebirth. A high-level funeral requires a lot of preparations, and she didn't have time to waste here. Besides, while she was here, Qi Qi had been keeping her head down and looked very nervous.

I need to find some time to have a good talk with Qiqi. I've been wanting to stop burying her for a long time now. Hu Tao planned out the time in her mind and decided to go and talk to Qiqi about this after the funeral was arranged.

Now that she had given the general instructions, all that was left was the adorable little one in front of her. Ningguang greeted Klee with a smile.

"Little Claire, we really owe you a lot this time."

"Hehe, this was done by Sister Tuotuo. If you want to thank someone, thank Sister Tuotuo."

Sister Tuotuo? Could it be that fairy girl? Thinking of the little girl who blocked her way and wanted to make a deal with her, Ningguang smiled knowingly. It seems that these rock dragon lizards can be used by Liyue.

"By the way, big sister, Sister Tuotuo said that after the monsters are defeated, these rock dragon lizards will be given to a person named Ningguang as a thank-you gift."

"Oh, really? Did your sister Tuotuo say anything else?"

Klee tilted her head slightly, biting her finger as she tried to recall what Tuotuo had told her. Hmm? It seems like that's all. No, there's one more thing.

"Sister Tuotuo said that the rock dragon lizard clan will never be friends with humans unless they are provided with food and lodging."

"Haha, what an interesting little guy. When your sister Tuotuo comes back, tell her I'm inviting her to Qunyu... to Yujingtai for dinner."

The thought that her Qunyu Pavilion had left her filled Ningguang with bitterness. Qunyu Pavilion, my Qunyu Pavilion, how can I live without you?

"Excuse me, are you alright? You look terrible. I'll get Qiqi to treat you right away."

"It's alright, Klee. I was just thinking about some bad things. Klee helped Liyue so much this time, what kind of reward would you like, little Klee?"

Ningguang composed herself, crouched down to look Klee in the eye, a gesture that made Klee feel comfortable, just like when Jean Grey cared for her.

"Klee, Klee wants lots of materials, big sister, can you reward me?"

"Materials? That's easy, Hyakumon. I'll leave this to you. You make a list for Klee, and prepare as much as she needs."

"Really? Thank you, big sister."

In Ningguang's mind, anything that can be solved with Mora isn't a problem. Some materials are nothing to her. What she's really worried about is owing favors to others, since favors are hard to repay. It's only because Klee is a child that Ningguang lets Klee ask for rewards freely.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that Yuheng Star among the Seven Stars would have such courage, smashing such a large Qunyu Pavilion just like that."

"It's a pity that the scene I most wanted to see didn't happen. Maybe I'm just an unqualified director."

The soldier gave a self-deprecating laugh, but the amusement in his eyes was undiminished. He probably already knew Su Bai's weakness; once someone has a weakness, they are much easier to deal with.

Before the soldier could finish his musings, a gust of wind grazed his hair and hurtled towards him. Had he not reacted quickly and tilted his head, his head would probably have been smashed to pieces.

"Who is it? It turns out to be the Great Sage Xiao who vanquishes demons."

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the scattered soldier's body surged with lightning element. If it were Xiao in normal times, he would not have been so provocative, but now, after a great battle, how much elemental power and immortal power would Xiao have left?

"To be honest, I've never fought an immortal before. If I were to kill you here, Xiaobai would be very sad."

"Then he'll definitely be frantically pursuing power for revenge. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it."

Looking at the madmen in front of him, Xiao felt a sense of pressure. In his current state, he might not be a match for the madmen. However, if he wanted to leave, the madmen would definitely not be able to stop him.

"Is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons planning to escape? That won't do. We're going to have a good fight."

The soldier clenched his fists, and a barrier made of lightning element suddenly unfolded, trapping Xiao and himself inside. Xiao held He Puyuan in his hands, feeling extremely frustrated. Damn it, if he were in full strength, no, even in his normal state, the soldier wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Chapter 183 The Scattered Soldiers Fleeing in Disarray

"I now regret not killing you back then."

Xiao recalled the scene when he encountered the stragglers at Wangshu Inn, his tone full of killing intent, because he sensed something called the Evil Eye on the stragglers. No matter how ignorant Xiao was of worldly affairs, he could guess that the Evil Eye on Qianyan Army was inseparable from the stragglers.

Following Xiao's gaze, the Scatter Soldier looked at the Evil Eye in his hand and smiled wickedly, his tone full of regret.

"What, does the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons also want to experience the power of the Evil Eye? Unfortunately, if I give it to you, I might not be able to leave."

"So, you're saying that thing Qianyan Jun has was also spread by you?"

"That's right, it's me, hahahaha."

The soldier threw his head back and laughed wildly, but as he laughed, he suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did that sentence just now sound like a little girl's voice? Wasn't he inside the barrier?

The stragglers, regaining their senses, hurriedly looked in front of them and saw Xiao looking at them with a pitying gaze, while beside Xiao, a little girl with dragon horns looked furious.

What's going on? His barrier is extremely strong; it's impossible for anyone to walk in silently. The soldiers looked around but didn't see any damage to the barrier.

And what kind of look was that Demon-Slaying Great Sage giving him? Didn't he know he was going to die here today? Or was this little girl his only hope?

"Hey, you weirdo, you're wondering how I got in, right?"

"Didn't the person who taught you this trick tell you that you need to add a layer on the ground when setting up the barrier?"

Ruoduo walked towards the skirmisher. Behind her, a huge hole appeared in front of the skirmisher. The skirmisher's face twitched. "Damn it," he thought, "so this move has such a loophole."

"Hehe, I wonder what business this immortal has with me?"

Seeing that the little girl in front of him didn't seem to have any fighting ability, the skirmisher didn't take Ruoduo seriously. Instead, he wondered if the immortals of Liyue would descend on Liyue Harbor again to demand an explanation if they found out that the two of them had died near Liyue Harbor.

"Kid, you're the one causing trouble here, aren't you? Well, I'll teach you a lesson you deserve."

"At such a young age, you dare to talk such big words. It seems I can kill two immortals today."

The skirmisher, who was very confident in his abilities, scoffed at Ruoduo's words. Ruoduo was quite surprised. After looking at the skirmisher carefully, she didn't think he had any mental problems.

"Kid, you look pretty brave."

"Just kidding, I'm super brave, okay? Let me see what the Liyue Immortals are capable of."

The soldier adjusted his hat, looking every bit the expert as he waited for Ruoduo to make his move. Xiao, who was watching the show from the side, raised an eyebrow. Good heavens, he had seen people courting death, but he had never seen anyone courting death like the soldier, letting Ruoduo make the first move. He was probably going to be left with nothing but ashes.

Ruo Tuo chuckled. Ha! This kid's tone is even more arrogant than Morax's. Even Morax wouldn't dare to let him make the first move without any precautions. It seems that this little hill will be a bit shorter today.

Ruo Tuo took a step forward, and rock element slowly emerged from his body. The scattered soldiers smiled disdainfully. What strength could a little brat have, even if he was an immortal? He could crush him with one hand.

Ruoduo took another step forward, and ice elements began to flow around him. The skirmisher's expression became slightly serious.

Seeing that the skirmishers were not afraid, Ruoda released the fire element again. The skirmishers began to take it seriously, and in their hearts they regarded Ruoda as an evenly matched opponent, but they still had confidence in their own strength.

As lightning and water elements appeared on Ruoduo, the expression on the soldier's face kept changing, finally revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Well, senior, Su Bai and I have a pretty good relationship. How about you spare me today?"

"Heh heh, little thing, now you're scared? It's too late. Go ahead and reflect on your actions in the next world!"

Ruo Tuo leaped forward and smashed down, triggering a frenzy of elemental reactions on the skirmisher, whose body instantly emitted various elemental colors.

The soldier intended to grit his teeth and withstand the attack before dispelling the barrier and running away, but he didn't expect Ruo Tuo's strength to be so great. Not only was one of his arms broken, but he was also punched directly into the barrier, causing huge ripples to spread across it.

"Kid, tell me, where was that thing you're holding made?"

"Ahem, senior, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. There are Thousand Rock Army patrolling everywhere in Liyue. I'm not stupid enough to build a factory on Liyue's territory."

"That's true. Then it's fine. I can't control other places. Wait, you dare to try to be clever?"

The soldier chuckled, his gaze towards Ruo Tuo filled with mockery. He had thought this immortal was a difficult fellow to deal with, but it turned out he was just as brainless.

"Damn it, this kid actually resorted to dirty tricks."

Sensing a change in the surge of lightning element within the barrier, Ruoduo immediately shielded Xiao behind him. As expected, the barrier exploded, flattening the summit of the small mountain.

"Damn it, this mountain is indeed a bit short. Ugh, ugh, ugh, you've splattered mud all over my mouth."

Ruoduo spat out the mud from his mouth. Although he could eat mud, after eating so many delicious foods in Liyue Harbor, he no longer liked it.

"Haha, goodbye, you foolish immortal, cough cough cough..."

The arrogant voice of the skirmishers came from above. Ruoduo watched with some annoyance as the skirmishers flew out of the barrier. Although the barrier was also dissolving, she couldn't fly.

"If you've got the guts, come down here and fight me one-on-one. I'll show you why flowers are so red."

"Heh, I have some things to take care of today, so I'll let you off the hook for now. We'll settle this score later."

Although the stragglers escaped successfully, Ruo Tuo's fist had landed squarely on them. That punch, with its terrifying force and various elemental reactions, would likely have required the stragglers to recover for some time, even if they weren't ordinary people.

"Tch, what a piece of trash! If I could fly, would you have gotten away?"

"Xiao, this guy called you a stupid, stupid immortal. Aren't you going to chase after him and beat him up? That's disrespectful to your immortal master."

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a god, you'll have to do this."

Xiao shook his head, clenching his fists in frustration. If he had been given five more minutes to recover some of his immortal power, he would definitely have been able to catch up with the scattered soldiers. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

"Hmph, he's lucky then. Let's go, Xiao, let's go see Xiao Su Bai at Liu Yun's place."

"Don't worry, I sensed Morax's presence near Liyue Harbor. He must have rescued Xiao Su Bai."

"Moreover, I noticed on the way here that Xiao Su Bai seems to have an extra tail. It looks like Morax gave Xiao Su Bai a benefit."

Chapter 184 Awakening

"Where am I? I remember being saved by the Rock King Emperor."

Su Bai scratched his head and flicked his tail. He always felt that this place was very dreamlike, and a hazy feeling enveloped his heart, which puzzled him.

In the dream, which seemed both real and unreal, Su Bai followed the guidance and walked forward. He seemed to have arrived at a strange place where a figure was standing with his back to him, seemingly having been waiting for him for a long time.

"More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little fox that used to be in Liu Yun's arms can now stand on its own. Time really flies."

"Didn't you always want to see me? Now that you've finally met me, why aren't you saying anything?"

The figure turned around. Although the face was shrouded in thick fog, Su Bai recognized the person in front of him immediately from the aura and the gentle tone.

"Hehe, it's not that I don't want to say anything, it's just that I don't know what to say. It's the first time I've met my idol in person, and I'm so excited."

Su Bai chuckled foolishly, a memory that would later haunt him and make him want to slap himself. Damn it, he'd finally met the Rock King Emperor, and yet he'd embarrassed himself like this. He could have at least asked the Emperor for an autograph.

"You're quite an interesting child."

"By the way, Your Majesty, you haven't passed away, so why were you mute during the summoning ceremony?"
