This heroine is so despicable

"From now on, I won't hold back any more!"

star:"……"

[Looking at this guy, you feel speechless, just like when a boss's armor is cracked with one move, and the boss says, "You're done. The armor that sealed my overpowering power was broken by you."]

There is no other way, please solve it as soon as possible...

at the same time

In front of the bridge in Liyue Harbor

Several Thousand Rock Army teams lined up together on the periphery to "welcome" the three immortals who had come here, and at the same time they were maintaining order in the surroundings to prevent curious crowds from disturbing the conversation between the Seven Stars and the distinguished immortals.

Together with Ningguang are Yuheng Star, who is also one of the Seven Stars, and Tianshu Star, Tianshu. Also standing beside them are Ying and Paimeng.

Because two of the immortals' disciples, Ganyu and Shenhe, were also present, the atmosphere was somewhat harmonious.

"...So, what you mean is that this is a test that the Emperor left for you?"

There was still a hint of disbelief in Master Liuyun Jiefeng's tone.

"Humph! If the Emperor really wanted to do something this important, how could he not tell us at all?"

Ningguang smiled politely:

"Perhaps, the Emperor also wants to see whether the immortals can remain calm and make correct judgments when they know less information?"

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng paused slightly - when she first heard the tragic news that the Emperor had been assassinated, she really wanted to fly directly to Liyue to find out the truth.

But she still snorted coldly:

“Even so, what are the Seven Stars of Liyue doing now? You allowed rumors to spread and kept the changes to the Summoning Immortal Ceremony a secret. The Emperor’s test of you may just be to test whether you Seven Stars are capable of protecting Liyue, rather than letting you take advantage of the vacuum of his ‘death’ to seize all power in Liyue!”

Ningguang remained calm:

“But…if the Liyue Seven Stars don’t take on this responsibility, who else can? You immortals have signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue for over 3,700 years. Even today, the mountains, rivers and land of Liyue are as solid as a rock, no different from a thousand years ago. But Liyue is no longer the Liyue of 3,700 years ago. Please don’t just focus on protecting this land—please also take a closer look at this city and every person here…”

The eyes of Master Xueyue Zhuyang who was standing by were slightly fixed:

"Are you questioning the way we protect Liyue?"

"it's not true."

Keqing, the "cat-eared" girl at the side, couldn't help but take over the conversation.

“What Ningguang meant was that Liyue is still grateful to the immortals, but over the years, Liyue’s problems, big and small, do not necessarily have to rely on the power of the immortals to be solved.”

"you……"

Master Liuyunjiefeng opened his mouth as if he wanted to refute.

But she also understood that she and a few immortals were far away from the mortal world, and exorcising evil spirits and slaying demons might be a matter of just waving their hands, but if she really handed over the management of Liyue Harbor to them, there would definitely be a big mess...

But she subconsciously didn't want to be refuted by the other party...

At this moment, while struggling, she suddenly saw Gan Yu standing beside her. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately said as if she had realized something:

"Okay! You just want to say that I and a few other immortals don't care about worldly affairs and don't understand people's requests. Then why don't we hand over the power to my disciple Ganyu?"

She flapped her wings.

"Ganyu is of semi-immortal blood, she can represent both mortals and immortals. She has worked for Liyue for thousands of years and knows our immortal magic. I think there is no one more suitable than her, right?"

"…Hey? Hey hey!? Me?"

Ganyu, who was standing by, suddenly widened her eyes and pointed at herself.

If Xing was here, he would probably be so happy that he would lose his mind and start to put a yellow robe on Ganyu, but everyone here is a serious person, and for a moment, no one could find anything unreasonable about this statement - yes, in this situation, is there anyone more suitable than Ganyu?

Ningguang also felt that with Ganyu's ability, she was more than qualified to take over the position of a seven-star master.

So she just thought about it for a moment and nodded:

"That's... not bad. Thousands of years ago, when the Seven Stars of Liyue first appeared in Liyue, Ganyu was in charge of Yuehai Pavilion. Her sense of responsibility has remained the same over the years and has never diminished. We, the Seven Stars of Liyue, have witnessed this."

Keqing beside her also nodded approvingly:

“Indeed, I can’t think of anyone who could do a better job than Ganyu, not to mention her unique and sharp insights into all things Liyue… I approve of this plan.”

Ganyu herself waved her hands vigorously and looked at her master:

“No—no no no no no no! Master, absolutely not! I am only assisting the Seven Stars of Liyue, but… but I have never served as a Seven Star! Moreover, and I myself…”

Before he finished speaking, everyone paused for a moment, then immediately turned their heads with serious expressions to look towards the deep sea in the distance.

——A terrible smell came from afar, and the strong wind began to stir up the waves. The originally peaceful sky began to become covered with dark clouds after a while.

Keqing couldn't help but look at the scene in front of her in shock:

"The direction of this aura is...Guoyun Pavilion!?"

Ningguang frowned, but felt a little relieved—it finally came...

Volume 084 Under the Blazing Sun: Qunyu Pavilion, Moving Forward

"Hey, weak, please you are weak, now you know who is the boss?"

The unharmed Xing gently poked the prone young man with his flaming spear - the latter's demonic armour had completely dissipated, and he lay on the ground, breathlessly looking at Xing, his eyes full of shock.

"What kind of power is that in you?"

Xing shrugged - the entire battle process with the young master was almost entirely within her expectations.

Generally speaking, Star had a bad start, Star was fighting and retreating, Star made many stupid moves, Star was caught in a tough battle, Star was doomed to defeat, and Star gave a speech to express his gratitude for winning the award.

[In fact, it's more like constantly scraping you to accumulate energy, and then being killed by you in one second]

"It doesn't matter. I can't even explain it myself, but at this time, can you please say a word? Please!"

"What?"

"'I'm sorry I couldn't get you to fight as hard as I did' or 'I'm sorry I couldn't get you to fight as hard as I did'"

"..."

The young master took a few deep breaths and said with resentment after a long while:

"I always feel like you've been insisting on saying something weird since we met..."

Xing shrugged again and tapped his head gently:

"I can't help it. I've lost my memory before, and some strange memories pop up in my mind from time to time. I always feel that if I can reproduce them, maybe they will remind me of something."

Upon hearing this, the young master sighed deeply:

"Well, the strong can always make demands on the weak - I'm sorry that I couldn't make you use your full strength... but next time... I won't lose again..."

Xing immediately pretended to be fierce:

"Next time? Do you know what happened to the person who said this the next second? He died a very clownish death! What if I don't give you a next time?"

The young master's face suddenly turned bitter:

"Hey, hey... after all, you owe me a favor, right? You don't have to be so heartless, right?"

"It seems so~"

Xing thought that she did things for no other reason than to have one idea clear. Since Tartaglia had invited her to dinner, it would be okay to let this guy go.

"Come to think of it, didn't I warn you? Prince Yan is not dead, so why can't you hold back?"

The young master sat up reluctantly and sighed:

"I know, but seizing the Heart of God is the mission that the Ice Queen gave to our executive officers, and this cannot be violated. And the Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis is the most likely place to store the Heart of God..."

At this point, he suddenly became thoughtful:

"No... Wait, let me think about it carefully. Since the Immortal Ancestor's Transmutation is just a trick, maybe the Heart of God is not here at all, but has been here from the beginning... So that's it..."

Looking at the young master who only started to use his brain and mutter after being beaten, Xing sighed - he was a bit like Ms. Nian.

"So you just heard that I was here and wanted to fight me? Where's the lady? I'm actually more looking forward to her coming than you."

[You're addicted to deduction, right? 】

The young master did not hide it. He shook his head:

"Since I have failed, I guess she is trying to awaken the sleeping demon god of Guyun Pavilion..."

"Oh."

The young master looked at Xing, who looked calm, in surprise:

“You… don’t care? That’s Osel, the Demon God of the Whirlpool. Although I don’t quite agree with this plan, as an executive officer of the Fatui, I can’t be picky about the means… Once its seal is broken, if the God of Rock doesn’t take action, maybe the whole of Liyue will be submerged?”

Star shrugged:

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If it is a last resort, Lord Yan will surely help, right? Where is the lady now?"

"I don't know about this..."

At this moment, as the two of them sensed a breath from the deep sea, they both paused slightly.

The young master sighed:

"It's time to start. If it's you, maybe it's not too late to do something."

"Do you even need to say this?"

Xing picked up the Flame Spear and walked out. At this time, a group of Qianyan Army soldiers also arrived:

"Your Excellency! Lord Ningguang invites you——"

"I know. Lead the way. Oh! And that guy—I'll leave it to you."

The young master's face suddenly turned bitter: "Hey! If I get arrested, it will be very troublesome..."

[I always feel that this guy will be arrested in the future anyway]

Xing smiled, waved and walked out:

"Then consider it as me helping you adapt to prison life in advance. Let's go~"

With the Thousand Rocks Army, Xing quickly returned to Liyue Harbor and boarded the floating platform to the Jade Pavilion - Ningguang, Ganyu, the three immortals, Ying and Paimon, and Shenhe all gathered there.

Xing also looked at the purple-haired, cat-eared Keqing with interest.

[Wow, it’s Kemao Mao! Niu Za Shifu! No wonder you always felt like something was missing on this trip to Liyue]

"My name is Keqing, Yuheng among the seven stars. You must be that star, right? Although it's not very appropriate now, but Ningguang said -?"

Xing walked towards the other person suddenly, and regardless of her surprise, she reached out and pinched her cat ears, and found that it was just a hairstyle like this.

Looking at the other party's surprised eyes, Xing pinched again:

“It’s a cute hairstyle.”

"...?"

Ningguang couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Xing unhappily:

"There is still a demon waiting for us now, so let's save the pleasantries for later."

Xing turned his head and looked into the distance - in the direction of Guyun Pavilion. A whirlpool was gradually appearing on the sea surface, and some kind of roaring sound continued to come from the depths of the sea, as if something was trying to break free.

"Does Liyue have a fleet?" Xing asked.

Ningguang shook her head:

"If you're talking about the Southern Cross Fleet, unfortunately, their Death Star went out to sea not long ago. With the remaining ships, I'm afraid we can't get too close. Moreover, ordinary people can't withstand the pressure of the ancient demon god. The ones we can actually engage in battle..."

"——There are only your Qun Yu Pavilion and us left. So, do you regret not installing the cannon now?"

"Although there are indeed no cannons, there are some here... That's all. You will know when you see them. In any case, let's move the Jade Pavilion forward first..."

A light of rock element flashed across Ningguang's fingertips, and a complex formation emerged from under the floor, turning into an interface similar to a compass.

Soon, under Ningguang's control, the Qun Yu Pavilion, which had been floating on the outside of Tianheng Mountain, began to move. It lowered its altitude slightly, crossed the Liyue Harbor below, and headed towards the Guyun Pavilion in the increasingly strong wind and rain.

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng, who was standing aside, was observing these formations, and suddenly his tone became a little unhappy.

"This is... a defense formation that simulates the return to the final machine... Humph, although it is my invention, it is a bit too fantastic to think that you can defeat the demon god with this."

Ningguang looked at the other party politely:

"So... if we want to defeat the Whirlpool Demon, we still need the help of the three immortals."
