The treasure thieves of Teyvat rob Shenhe

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he looked at Shen He with some anticipation, hoping to see Shen He's shy expression.

However, Shen He thought for a moment and raised another question.

"What does concubine mean?"

"The third party, the one who destroys pure love, is also the one who represents the infidelity of the one who takes a concubine to pure love!" Lin Ye said firmly.

Shen He asked again.

"What does pure love mean?"

"A kind of loyalty to love that lasts until death, the romance of holding hands with your lover and growing old together. Pure love is a matter between two people."

Shen He fell into deep thought.

If it were the previous Shen He, she wouldn't understand these things, and wouldn't feel anything after hearing them, after all, they had nothing to do with her.

But now, Shen He's intuition told him that this was related to her, because Lin Ye said he would be jealous.

"I won't take a concubine." Shen He comforted.

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment.

Then Bengbu lived and chuckled.

This is very Shenhe.

Shen He tilted his head.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen He asked, with a hint of confusion and a slight hint of annoyance in his voice.

"That's a reassuring smile of mine." Lin Ye explained seriously, "I know, Shen He, you are extremely charming. In my heart, you are more charming than walnuts! I've always been afraid that one day you will leave me."

"Now that you said this, I feel relieved."

After being praised by Lin Ye and saying that Shen He was not Hu Tao, she felt relieved.

Then, Shen He realized belatedly that since she told Lin Ye that she would not take a concubine, was this a disguised explanation?

Ever since Shen He of Ao Zang Mountain confessed his love to Lin Ye in disguise, Shen He and Lin Ye have been in a tacit understanding with each other. Today, Lin Ye made it clear again.

Shen He was not confident before going to Qingce Manor, because she didn't think there was anything about her that attracted Lin Ye. But old lady Ruoxin said that what you see as a shortcoming may be a strength in the other person's eyes.

Didn't Lin Ye also say that she was very charming?

Shen He now has some confidence, and she also wants to respond to Lin Ye.

So, Shen He hesitated for a moment and asked Lin Ye.

"Are we pure love?"

“Doesn’t it count?” Lin Ye smiled and asked back.

"......Yeah." Shen He replied.

Chapter 171: Feast of Two Gods

v“What are you talking about? Especially you, Lin Ye, you look so vulgar.” Hu Tao stopped, turned around and saw Lin Ye and Shen He talking, so she went up to ask.

"A topic that single people should not go to." Lin Ye said with a smile.

"........."

The three of them returned to the Wangsheng Hall, and Hu Tao went to pick out young and pretty ladies. To be honest, there were still few young ladies in the Wangsheng Hall, and most of them were old ladies.

After all, apart from a hobby or having no other choice, few people would choose to work in funeral services.

Lin Ye went to find Zhongli, told him his ideas and asked for his opinion.

Zhongli is also a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall. In terms of status, he and the Wangsheng Hall share the same fate.

Although Hu Tao often says that Zhongli is old-fashioned, he is open-minded. For example, he invited rock musician Xin Yan to perform in front of the Wangsheng Hall to help Hu Tao attract customers.

Even though it failed.

After looking around, Lin Ye didn't find Zhongli and thought that the old man must be shopping.

The three bowls at this time are not enough.

Zhongli sat opposite someone.

This man looked like a teenager, and his dress should be that of a person from Mondstadt, a neighboring country of Liyue. He had a Cecilia flower on his green hat. The boy had a handsome face, and when he smiled, he gave people a refreshing feeling like a breeze. His emerald eyes were like the free wind.

"Grandpa, long time no see." The young man said with a smile.

Then he rubbed his hands, looking expectant.

"We are meeting again after a long time, old friend. I wonder what kind of wine you will treat us with. This is your territory, so don't be stingy."

Zhongli said helplessly.

"You still love fine wine."

Zhongli remembered the first time the young man in front of him came to Liyue. He thought something was serious enough to require the intervention of the two of the Seven Rulers of the Midgard, so he took it seriously. But it turned out that he just came to visit and say hello, and to taste Liyue's special wine.

"Wine is a good thing. With it, my inspiration can emerge." The young man said with a smile.

"Liyue's wine is not like Mondstadt's dandelion wine. It is more mellow. When you drink it in one gulp, it tastes extremely spicy, yet refreshing. Yeah, not bad, not bad," the young man commented seriously.

“By the way, the last time I drank Liyue’s fine wine was… last time.” The young man told another cold joke, but Zhongli in front of him was not amused…

"Hey." The boy tried to get away with it.

Zhongli knew the boy's character and felt helpless. He thought that Master Hu could get along well with him.

"This place is called Sanwanbuguogang. In addition to exquisite cuisine, it also has fine wine." Zhongli said in a gentle voice.

The boy's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhongli shook his head, and then said seriously.

"Ba, Wendy, thank you for your help with Xiao's matter this time."

Xiao has been on the [border] of life and death for so long that he has been eroded by the resentment in Quan Tai's body. Although his body has adapted to it, it will eventually become a burden. Xiao has been eliminating the resentment of the demon god since then. Not long ago, Xiao was eroded by [evil obstacles] again.

Fortunately, Wendy who was passing by came to the rescue.

He has the strength.

The god of Liyue is the rock god, Morax.

Mondstadt, Liyue's neighboring country, has its god, the God of Wind, the alcoholic boy in front of you, Barbatos.

Morax transforms into Zhongli, and Barbatos transforms into Wendy.

"No need to thank me, it's just a small favor. Compared to me, he is the one who works harder." Wendy waved her hand.

"By the way, it seems like something big has happened here," Wendy asked curiously, "Which demon god is counterattacking?"

"Chilongyun."

"Hmm... I don't remember. After all, it's your opponent, the Chilong. It reminds me of an old friend. Its condition is not too bad."

"How can I help?" Zhongli asked.

"It is currently sleeping. I am also looking for a way to purify the poisonous blood embedded in its body. Let's take it one step at a time."

Zhongli saw what Wendy was thinking and did not continue discussing the topic.

"I came to Liyue Harbor and heard from many people that it was you, old man, who defeated the Chilong. As a bard, would you like me to write a hymn for you on the spot? What should I call it?"

"It wasn't me who defeated Yun." Zhongli answered Wendy with a hint of smile in his words.

"Oh?" Wendy was surprised.

"The person who defeated Demon God Yun was a young man. He had a connection with Demon God Yun, and it could be considered a feud. In the end, he ended this fate."

"Well, this is really amazing. I really want to see it."

"He will go to Mondstadt. If fate allows, you will meet him."

"Look at what you mean, old man. It seems that you don't want me to meet him too early?"

“The one [at the border] opened the contract,” Zhongli said calmly.

Wendy was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she smiled even more brightly, "Interesting, interesting, he will be a new poem I reserve for you."

"Let's meet him when the time is right," Wendy said with a smile, "After all, my relationship with him is not that good."

Zhongli couldn't deny it, so he asked another question.

"Are you not ready to return to Mondstadt?"

Generally speaking, gods live in their own kingdoms and protect their people.

This is true whether it is the God of Rock, the God of Thunder, or the God of Ice.

But the God of Wind is an exception, perhaps because wind represents freedom.

"If the people of Mond don't need me, I won't go back." Wendy said with a smile.

If the people of Liyue represent responsibility and protection, and Liyue was built by Emperor Geo and his people, the Thousand Rock Army, then Mondstadt is a song of resistance.

During the Demon War three thousand years ago, the lonely king of the tower, Diecarapian, fought a decisive battle with the wolf king of the north wind, Andrius, and the wind and snow invaded the land.

The lonely king of the tower raised a hurricane to protect the people in the capital from the storm sweeping in from the extremely cold ice field outside.

But the Lone King in the Tower is a heartless demon. He stands on top of the tower, looking down upon his subjects who are bowing down and kneeling in worship.

He thought this was his people's worship and respect for him.

In fact, it was the hurricane in the capital that prevented them from straightening up.

Later, one tribe left, and later followed the Elves in the Thousand Winds to face the wrath of the Demon God and resist the rule of the Lone King of the Tower.

After the victory, the newly born Wind God established Mondstadt.

The God of Wind did not want to become a new tyrant, so he left Mondstadt. However, who would have thought that power and greed would corrupt the nobleness and pride of the nobility, and Mondstadt fell into the Dark Ages.

Then there was resistance...

Mond is synonymous with freedom and resistance.

This is something that Liyue has never had.

Liyue is extremely united internally, and it is facing external enemies.

After all, Liyue is a kingdom that walks with gods. Mortals cannot start a riot, and the wise and powerful emperor will also notice the corruption of human nature. Although it is impossible to prevent all those in power from sticking to their original intentions, at least Liyue will not enter a dark age.

Zhongli knew something about Mond's history. He once believed that the Dark Ages appeared because Mond had always lacked its god. Its god was drinking and traveling, but not doing his job.

But recently Zhongli changed his mind and asked Wendy for advice.

"Wendy, could you have anticipated what would happen after you left Mondstadt?"

"This question is not easy to answer," Wendy pondered. "After all, mortals are different from us. We have long lifespans and our habits can remain unchanged for thousands of years, but mortals cannot do that."

"I had a premonition before I left, but that's not the reason I stayed. This is because I believe in the resistance and freedom that runs in the blood of the people of Mond. As long as the will to resist and the desire for freedom remain, any tower can be overthrown." Wendy laughed.

Zhongli was silent.

"Grandpa, why do you ask about this?" Wendy asked curiously.

In response, Zhongli smiled but said nothing.

What the people of Mondstadt can do, the people of Liyue can do too, Zhongli thought.

Chapter 172: A Nation Without God’s Restraint

When Wendy saw Zhongli smiling without saying anything, his mind became active and he began to guess what the old man was thinking.

Well, when asked about Mondstadt's history, the clever Wendy extracted a key clue. Morax seemed to be concerned about what would happen to the kingdom ruled by mortals on their own after the gods left.

After figuring it out, Wendy raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Zhongli with an increasingly playful look.

Zhongli looked at Wendy, who had her hand on her cheek and was playing with the tea bowl on the small table with her other hand. The look in his eyes seemed to say, "I already know your secret but I won't tell you."

Zhongli guessed that Wendy knew what he was thinking, and his lips curled up. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. During this moment, Zhongli thought of what to say and spoke.

"I remember that you returned to Mondstadt once more than a thousand years ago."

"Well, to help some people, and also to let the people of Mond feel free again." Hearing this, Wendy recalled that he once again stood in the ranks of the rebels, helping a Munata girl slay a dragon and fighting against the oppression of the noble Lawrence family who were in charge at the time.

"So you imitated my handwriting and signed a false contract." Zhongli said nonchalantly, and casually spoke out a truth that was enough to shock history.
