Original God: Being stepped on by Alechino at the beginning

　"Yes, my master asked me to go to Mond to handle an old matter. She didn't want to be out and about, so she sent me out to run errands. But that's just what I want. I haven't been back to Mond in a long time. I was trained by my master when I was a child, and I've lived in Fontaine for a long time."

　"Then I think it would be a great experience to return to my hometown this time. It would be nice to go back more often."

　"Haha, by the way, Lu Li, can I call you that?"

　"of course can."

　"Do you have something to do when you leave Fontaine this time? Judging from your attire...

　Work suits should be quite expensive. Is it a business enterprise that needs to go abroad for processing?"

　"No, it's a personnel transfer. Besides, I'm not going to Liyue. Speaking of which, I'm very similar to you. I'm going to Mondstadt to take up a position."

　On the cruise ship that was leaving Roudeng Port and heading towards Liyue Yilongbu, Lu Li was talking with Mona who was traveling with him.

　Mona was a little surprised to hear that Lu Li also wanted to go to Mond.

　I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that we could catch up together.

　"Ha, if that's the case, then maybe we can go to Mond together?"

　"Yes, that's no problem for me. However, my route is to go through the Sunken Jade Valley, then take a short waterway to the Wangshu Inn for transfer, then go north and east through the Stone Gate to Mondstadt. Mona, is that acceptable to you?"

　"I have no problem with this route plan," Mona said with some surprise after taking out the map and flipping through it. "This way, the trip won't take too long. You're very knowledgeable! Wait, even though you're dressed like a Fontaine, I almost forgot you're from Liyue."

　"Haha, come to think of it, this is actually my first time returning to the Liyue Realm."

　Lu Li shook his head with some emotion and said so.

　"This is my first time back in Liyue... Could it be that you, Lu Li, are like me? We both moved to Fontaine when we were very young, and haven't been back for a long time?"

　Upon hearing this, Mona asked in surprise.

　"Well, that's pretty much it."

　After thinking carefully about his life experience, Lu Li said this with some complexity.

　"I see... But being able to clearly plan the itinerary doesn't feel like that..."

　Mona frowned slightly and murmured.

　"Well, after all, I've actually thought about returning to Liyue more than once, so I've been preparing... Mona, it looks like we're almost there. Yilongbu is just ahead. Once we get there, we'll take the elevator and officially reach Liyue territory. There's an official Liyue inn right at the checkpoint. Mona, you're unfamiliar with the area, so why not just rent a room there for the night? We'll set off tomorrow."

　"Okay, wait, if I stay at that inn, how much Mora would it cost for one night? I need to... I need to think about it. Otherwise, camping in the wild is actually also possible..."

　Mona was about to nod in response to Lu Li's proposal, but suddenly remembered that she was short of money. After coughing, she asked a little embarrassedly.

　Lu Li was slightly startled, then looked up at the moonlight. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. "Forget camping in the wild. Although the Thousand Rock Army patrols Liyue and the security is stable, there are still risks. Whether it's the local wild beasts, the Xuanwen Beasts, the smuggling Fontaine gang, or the rampant hooligans and treasure-stealing groups. What's more, it's dark now. Camping in the wild is definitely not safe, and you won't get a good rest."

　"Um... that seems to be true, but, well, I think I should have enough money..."

　"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Why don't I help you pay for this night?"

　Seeing that Mona seemed to be in a difficult situation, Lu Li thought of how she seemed to be a pure Moonlight Clan member in the original novel. Thinking of this, it didn't seem unacceptable that she didn't have much money on hand, so he spoke up and suggested it at this moment.

　Hearing this, Mona couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, "No... this, this is not good... that, this..."

　"In my opinion, Mona, you're simply short of liquid funds right now, so I'll cover the cost for you. You can pay me back later, it's not a big deal," Lu Li said softly. "But if you can't pay me back, that's fine too. It's my fate to have a great astrologer perform divination for me, and offering this little bit of my power to help you is a suitable and equal exchange."

　Mona couldn't help but blush slightly, "It's a bit, but not as exaggerated as you said..."

　"Don't be so self-deprecating, Mona. After you introduced yourself to me, I knew you were truly remarkable," Lu Li said with emotion. "After all, I've seen this name more than once in the Steambird newspaper. Although I can't understand many of your astrological papers published there, the fact that they're consistently published is proof that your knowledge and achievements are impeccable. It's only natural that I offer this little bit of my services to a master fortune teller like you."

　Mona pursed her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but seeing Lu Li's determined and unquestionable look, she could only agree helplessly and gratefully.

　Although I felt embarrassed, I was somewhat smug inside.

　Hey, there are times when she meets fans when she's out and about and gets a bargain like this!

　Okay, it’s decided. It’s late tonight, but tomorrow morning, she will definitely take responsibility and predict Lu Li’s future.

　As the cruise ship gradually arrived at the shore, the two also got off the cruise ship with their luggage.

　Neither of them brought too much luggage. Lu Li had a magic subspace pocket with a lot of things in it, so he didn't need to carry anything with him. Mona had never thought that the trip to Mond would take too long, so she naturally didn't bring too much luggage.

　With Mona, we talked and laughed all the way to the ruins.

　After the Longbu General Affairs Department set up a local post station, Lu Li took the initiative to pay the front desk to open two rooms so that he and Mona could check in with their luggage.

　Seeing that Lu Li really did what he said and was so generous, Mona was also moved.

　Well, tomorrow, she will definitely try her best to tell fortunes for Lu Li.

　After that, after saying goodbye and good night to Mona, Lu Li also went to his room.

　Go wash up first and then prepare for tomorrow's trip.

　I should have left a good first impression on Mona today, right?

　Lu Li thought this in his heart, and after washing up, he lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

　Chapter 121: Asking for the right answer, Mona's fainting

　The next morning, when Lu Li had just finished washing up, there was a knock on the door.

　(What's going on? Someone's looking for me? This shouldn't be the first time I've returned to Liyue, right?)

　Although he was a little confused, Lu Li still hurried to open the door to see what was going on.

　The next moment, as he opened the door and saw the person outside, he was slightly stunned.

　"Mona, why is it you?"

　The person who came was Mona. At this moment, she asked tentatively with a bit of embarrassment and hope: "Ahem, I'm unfamiliar with this place, so I came to see you. Do you want to have dinner together? Of course, you don't have to pay this time, I'll treat you!"

　Hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but chuckle, "That's too expensive. I'll eat more... But what surprised me even more is why you came to see me specifically?"

　"Well, you're from Liyue after all. Even though you said it was your first time back, I think you should be very familiar with Liyue's eating habits. So if I ask you to come, I think I should be able to experience the authentic flavors of Liyue cuisine better."

　Mona explained, "Besides, we're going to Mondstadt together later. It's a long journey anyway, and I think we'll be eating together many days. So I think it's important to build up some experience and get to know each other's dietary restrictions now!"

　Hearing this, Lu Li nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "That's right. In that case, let me lead the way. Mona, you probably haven't had breakfast, right?"

　"Hmm? Morning tea, what is that? Is it a tea drink?"

　"In Liyue, we call it breakfast. I'll take you there. I hope you'll be satisfied."

　Seeing this, Mona nodded, waited for Lu Li for a while, and then followed him, who was already dressed and ready to go, to officially set off.

　After finding a busy restaurant in the local area, Mona and I found a seat opposite each other in the private room on the second floor and started ordering food.

　After making tea and washing dishes, the waiter began to serve the dishes one by one.

　Taking this opportunity, Mona was able to enjoy the authentic Liyue flavor.

　Although she was born in Mondstadt and later lived in Fontaine for a long time, no matter which country it was, the richness, deliciousness and creativity of the dishes could not compare to Liyue.

　This meal naturally made Mona feel very satisfied.

　For Lu Li, it was quite exciting to taste the flavor of his hometown after a long time.

　In addition, it is actually a very pleasant experience to have breakfast while looking at a pretty girl eating across from you.

　--------split line--------

　"Well, I'm sorry to have cost you money again. Anyway, let's do what we need to do first..."

　At this moment, Mona felt both grateful and embarrassed. It was she who suggested treating Lu Li, but in the end, he was the one who paid.

　Are all Liyue people so generous? But because of this, she, who is so sensitive about her reputation, feels extremely shy...

　In fact, for Lu Li, spending this money doesn’t matter.

　He knew Mona's personality. It was okay to let her pay, but with her lifestyle of living paycheck to paycheck, if she spent like this, she might not be able to eat anything delicious after this month. Since he had a certain fondness for her in his previous life, and if he could use money to maintain or even improve his relationship with the astrologer, Lu Li felt that it was worth it.

　After all, he is not as popular as the travelers, and often he helps people without asking for anything in return, which makes people like him more.

　At this moment, Lu Li nodded in agreement to Mona's proposal without hesitation.

　After all, this was agreed upon yesterday, and Lu Li wanted to take this opportunity to find out what kind of future Mona's water divination could predict for him.

　Following Mona's invitation, Lu Li followed her into her room.

　After sitting upright in the chair under her instructions, Lu Li watched Mona quietly as she began her operation.

　The lights in the room went out quietly at this moment, but after Mona took out the crystal ball, this crystal ball that could emit a faint light became the only light source in the room.

　Then, as Lu Li watched silently, Mona casually flipped her hand, and a circle of water quietly emerged in the air to form a magic circle, which took on the appearance of a starry sky.

　Next, Mona placed the crystal ball on the magic circle. It was visible to the naked eye that the crystal ball just placed on it was floating in the air.

　It's incredible.

　Lu Li sighed secretly in his heart.

　"Okay, Lu Li, the ceremony is now complete. The next step is the most important one. Well, it's actually quite simple. You just need to come forward and place your hand on the crystal ball," Mona said.

　He said softly, "I have helped people with divination more than once, and there will be no accidents this time either."

　"Through contact, the crystal ball will memorize your pulse and record your information. Then, through my water astrology chart, I can simulate the astrological signs and deduce your birth sign. Next, I will be able to roughly see your destiny~"

　"It's amazing. If that's the case, I'll try it now."

　Lu Li nodded slightly, stood up and walked forward. Under Mona's encouraging gaze, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the suspended crystal ball.

　It was visible to the naked eye that the crystal ball, which originally emitted a soft and dim light, suddenly changed the spectrum of its light.

　From the original aqua-like blue color, it transformed into a pure, fiery red color.

　(He's such a fiery man! My first impression was right...)

　Seeing this, Mona sighed inwardly, then lowered her head and began to carefully check the information about Lu Li's constellation on the water astrology chart.

　Then, after seeing the specific appearance of the constellation of destiny, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

　It's not an animal, nor a plant, but a sitting human figure...

　If the constellation of destiny appears as a human figure, there are only two possibilities...

　Either he is a demon god, or he is destined to become a god!

　Mona, who had not yet recovered from her shock and astonishment, suddenly seemed to sense something and covered her mouth and nose.

　No, there are special circumstances!

　He...how could his fate be so entangled with hers in the future?

　You know, the thing that fortune tellers hate most is to calculate their own destiny.

　So does the fortune teller!

　Lu Li is destined to have a deep connection with Mona in the future, so when Mona tells fortunes for him, she is essentially calculating her own destiny.

　At this moment, a powerful backlash rushed straight to the top of her head, and the gushing nosebleed was accompanied by severe dizziness. Amid Lu Li's exclamation, Mona suddenly fell down at this moment.

　Chapter 122: Massage Method for Mona's "Healing"

　When Mona was about to fall to the ground, Lu Li reacted quickly and rushed forward in an instant. Before the back of Mona's head hit the ground, he reached out and supported her.

　When Lu Li put the girl's soft body into his arms, he felt as if she had no bones.

　But now is not the time to daydream. Seeing Mona's pale face and nosebleed, he reached out his hand solemnly and nervously, wiped the blood with a handkerchief, then supported Mona and slowly walked to the bed and sat down.

　It was not until this moment that Mona gradually came to her senses and realized what had just happened. She felt extremely ashamed and speechless.

　This is so embarrassing, what happened, why did this happen?!

　Mona kept shouting in her heart.

　So, was Lu Li's fate so special? The key point was, he and I had just met for the first time, so how could we have such a deep connection that when I was trying to understand his fate, I actually saw that I had suffered a severe backlash!

　Really, it's so embarrassing. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation when fortune-telling.

　Mona felt like crying but had no tears at this moment.

　But it was obvious that Lu Li didn't have the ability to read minds, so he couldn't see what Mona was thinking at the moment. He just placed Mona in a place with some concern, and after taking care of her for a while, he said at this moment: "It seems that you have suffered an accident. Was it caused by me? I'm very sorry. Are you okay, Mona..."

　"Well, it's okay to rest for a while. I just used up a lot of energy suddenly. I'll recover after a while." Mona shook her head and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, it seems I can't do any divination for you. Your fate is very special, Lu Li. This is the first time I've done divination for someone like you. Also, I don't know why, but our fates will be deeply intertwined in the future. So when I was divination for you just now, I accidentally divined my own fate."

　"As a fortune teller, the most taboo thing is to predict your own future. The backlash of the astrological power consumed a lot of my energy at that moment, which is why I almost fainted... All in all, I just need a little rest. I'll be fine."

　Seeing Mona speaking with a pale complexion, Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

　It doesn't look like nothing's wrong...

　At this moment, Lu Li felt somewhat guilty about this.

　After all, if he didn't want to tell his own fate, Mona shouldn't be so miserable. Although he had paid for Mona's room and treated her to breakfast before, looking at Mona's miserable appearance now, he always felt that he owed her something.
