If it were any other time, Ying would definitely jump for joy, after all, being treated to a meal by someone else was such a wonderful thing, but she was more concerned about the matter of that strange god.

Although she had just promised the bard to find the God of Wind first before discussing other matters, she still wanted to know very much about that strange god. After all, this was related to whether she could find her brother.

"Of course, I just said that."

Su Mo nodded.

"Then you follow me now..."

"Hurry up, there will be no seats if you are late."

Paimeng interrupted their conversation because he was afraid that Ying would run directly to Liyue after hearing what Su Mo said.

No matter what you do next, eating a full meal is very important, especially eating fried meat with honey sauce and carrots.

"Let's go there and talk about it."

Knowing what Paimeng was thinking, Su Mo said this.

"it is good."

Since Su Mo said so, Ying didn't say anything more.

-------------------------------------

"Wow, so strong, is that strange god so strong?"

Paimeng, who had to sit at the table to eat because he was too small, couldn't help but sigh after listening to what Su Mo said.

She thought that a stone could directly smash the ancient demon god back into the sea and almost completely destroy a vast area called Lingju Pass. This kind of god sounded very scary.

"..."

Ying, who had also listened to what Su Mo said, frowned and sat in her seat without saying a word.

She knew that she had no way to defeat the strange god now, but no matter what, she had to go to Liyue to see the situation. However, before that, she had to find the wind god Barbatos first.

"So the Rock God is faking his death? Why would he do that?"

After thinking about it, Ying still asked Su Mo this question. She felt that there must be some unspeakable secrets, and maybe her brother was involved. Even though she knew that the possibility was very small, she still wanted to ask.

"I don't know why he faked his death, but there are rumors that he signed some kind of contract with that strange god, and this contract is likely related to the people of Liyue. But I don't know the specific content. Also, don't think that this rumor is right. After all, everyone knows about rumors, so just look at it rationally."

Su Mo told Yingmei everything he had heard while having tea with Mr. Zhongli.

"The contract? Is it related to the people of Liyue? And the faked death of the Rock God? Hmm... Putting these things together makes me feel like there's some shocking secret behind it. If I find out, will I be silenced? How scary."

Paimon on the table looked a little trembling.

The contract between the Rock God and that strange god? Could it be...

That strange god was using the entire population of Liyue to threaten the God of Rock? Forcing him to sign some unequal contract?

But in this case...

Why did the God of Rock fake his death?

Is it to make that strange god lose his target of threat?

But in this case, isn’t the God of Rock afraid that the strange god will attack Liyue directly?

Analyzing various possibilities in his mind, Ying continued to ask, "What you just said is that the Rock God was first killed by the strange god at Lingju Pass, but he was actually faking his death, and then a few days later, the ancient demon god suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​Liyue, and the strange god suddenly appeared on the sea level for some reason and repelled it, and then the Rock God who was faking his death also appeared."

"Right, that is it."

Nodding, Su Mo indicated that Ying was right.

Faking his own death to escape? And then being forced to show up? But what about the ancient demon god?

After sorting out the order, Ying came to this conclusion, but she didn't understand what role this ancient demon god played in it.

She originally thought that the strange god might have known that the God of Rock had faked his death and therefore released the ancient demon to force him out.

But she changed her mind and realized that there was no need to do this at all. It would be better for the strange god to just take action directly. Why go through all these twists and turns?

"Okay, don't think too much about it, let's go find those things now."

Seeing that they had almost finished eating, Su Mo planned to go out and find Wendy to ask for what they were looking for.

"Well, I understand. But thank you for telling me so many things and treating us to a meal. Next time... I will treat you too!"

Originally, she had decided to repay Su Mo well, but Ying couldn't think of any good way at the moment, so she had to say this for now. She needed time to think about it.

"It's a small matter, don't take it to heart, but if you want to go to Liyue in the future, you still have to be careful. After all, we don't know what kind of deal the God of Rock made with that strange god."

Waving his hand, Su Mo reminded Ying to be careful of the God of Rock when going to Liyue next time.

"Okay, let's go now and find all those things."

For a moment, Ying was filled with energy. No matter what, she was getting closer to the truth of the matter step by step.

"Hey, you two wait for me, I can't fly anymore... Hey!"

Seeing the two people walking out of the city, Paimon wanted to chase them, but because she was too full, she couldn't fly anymore. She flew up and then fell down again.

-------------------------------------

"This area is too large. Let's split up and search. We'll meet up here later."

After a while, the two finally arrived at the area Wendy mentioned, but because the surrounding area was a bit vast, they couldn't search it all in a short time, so Su Mo made this suggestion.

"Then be careful."

"Ah."

After saying that, Su Mo walked towards the area he was responsible for.

"Okay, Paimon, let's get started too. Remember, if you see a treasure chest, notify me immediately. You can see more things flying in the sky than I can."

After watching Su Mo leave, Ying also started her own plan.

"no problem."

Paimeng was already accustomed to Ying's arrangements. She was a good hand at finding treasure chests. Even if they were looking for that kind of crystal now, it would not delay her from finding the treasure chest. After all, she had to get something back after a trip.

after awhile.

"Paimon, have you seen that kind of crystal in the sky?"

"No."

"Where's the treasure chest?"

"nor."

"..."

After searching for a while with Paimon, Ying not only did not find the crystal, but she didn't even see a treasure chest.

"Ah—help!"

Just as Ying was stunned, a cry for help suddenly came from Paimeng in the sky.

"Paimon?"

When Ying heard Paimon's cry for help, she quickly looked up at the sky, but Paimon, who was flying up there, was gone, which surprised her.

"Paimon? Paimon! Where are you?"

Ying kept turning her head to look everywhere, but she couldn't see Paimon again. She had no choice but to shout Paimon's name loudly, but got no response. It was as if Paimon had disappeared from the face of the earth, which made her very anxious.

Is there a bird of prey here?! Paimon...

Suddenly thinking of this possibility, Ying's heart sank and her heart began to beat faster. She had experienced the feeling of losing a loved one once, and she didn't want to do it again this time.

Although Paimon is very greedy and often eats her food, the relationship between the two is no longer just companions, but more like family.

"Paimon!!! Pai..."

"Are you calling this little guy?"

Just as Ying was calling out Paimon loudly, a circular portal with a circuit pattern with purple light on the outside and a dark center suddenly appeared in front of her, and these words were heard from inside.

She had never seen such a portal before, but she would never forget the voice that came from it.

The strange god who kidnapped her brother finally showed up!

"Put me down, you bad guy who kidnapped Brother Ying! Put me down!"

Paimon struggled very hard to break free from those strange white hands.

She had just been looking for that kind of crystal in the sky, but suddenly a strange white arm stretched out from somewhere, grabbed her tightly, and then pulled her into a dark space.

Just as she was struggling, a white-haired girl appeared in front of her, but she quickly recognized who this girl was. It was the strange god who had kidnapped Brother Ying.

I hope you're not pretending...

Looking at Paimeng next to him with an expressionless face, Su Mo thought that she would smash Varudo or something, but nothing happened. However, even if she really smashed Varudo, Su Mo would not be at a loss at all, because the system was already prepared.

"Paimon! Are you okay?"

"Upholder of Heaven's Law, what do you want to do? Where did you take my brother? Tell me!"

After the initial shock, Ying immediately drew her weapon and reacted. No matter what, since this strange god appeared in front of her again, she had to make sure everything was clear.

"I'm doing what I should do. As for your brother, he naturally stays where he wants to be. I didn't do anything to him. And why are you asking me? Don't you, the so-called sister, know your brother?"

Su Mo just smiled lightly in response.

"I'm fine, but Ying, don't believe her. How could this bad woman not know your brother's location? She must be lying to you."

Seeing Ying was worried about him, Paimon quickly said that he was fine and told her not to believe in this strange god.

Stay where he wants to be? That's absolutely impossible...

Ying was stunned for a moment when she heard this. This god was clearly indicating that he did not know the location of his brother.

But she clearly remembered that when she and her brother wanted to leave this world, this god suddenly appeared in front of them and attacked them, and took away her brother and power. She could never forget this.

In that case...

After discovering that she couldn't get news about her brother through normal means, Ying decided to fight her.

"I admire your courage, but that's all."

Seeing Ying rushing towards him, Su Mo calmly summoned the Imaginary Rubik's Cube in front of him and let it extend infinitely towards Ying.

This kind of thing again...

Seeing this purple cube, Ying remembered the scene at that time. Her brother was swallowed by this thing.

Da da da--

At the moment when the purple cube was about to touch her, Ying used both feet to jump onto it and continued to rush towards the god in front.

"Humph--"

Even though Ying dodged his first attack, Su Mo's expression remained unchanged. He just raised his hand towards Ying and moved it slightly.

"what--"

Just as Ying was cautiously guarding against the next attack, she suddenly felt an invisible strong gravitational force sucking her in front of her. Because there was nothing around her to steady her body, and it happened too suddenly, she flew uncontrollably towards the strange god.

"You are so weak now, but even so, do you still want to challenge me?"

Reaching out his hand, grasping Ying's neck and lifting her up, Su Mo spoke to her coldly.

"Give my...brother...back to me!"

Keng——

Is this... a barrier?

Even though she felt very uncomfortable with her neck being strangled, Ying still picked up her weapon and swung it at the strange god who was so close to her. However, she was surprised to find that there was a faint diamond-shaped barrier in front of Him that blocked her attack.

"Your journey has just begun. I am looking forward to your future performance. Come on, I will be waiting for you at the end of the journey. I hope you will not let me down."

After saying that, Su Mo moved his fingers slightly and flicked Ying away. At the same time, he released Paimon from the Hand of Illusory Numbers. After doing all this, he opened the portal and left.

"fluorescent!"

Finding that he could finally move, Paimon quickly flew over to check on Ying's condition.
