I can copy the beautiful girl

Tianquan Star.

Yuheng Star.

Kaiyang Star.

Yaoguang Star.

This is the title of the position passed down from generation to generation by the Seven Stars of Liyue.

The Rock God Morax is known as the Rock Emperor in Liyue. He descends once a year at the Summoning Immortals Ceremony to deliver oracles, which determine the development direction of Liyue for the following year.

As for the ceremony of inviting the immortals, it is presided over by the seven stars of Liyue in turn. Last year it was Keqing from the Yuheng star, and this year it is Ningguang from the Tianquan star.

Both of them are controllable characters in the game Genshin Impact, and their gender is female.

There is no need to say much about her beauty. I only regret that Keqing is not here, but it doesn’t matter. Ningguang is satisfying enough.

As if she felt my evil gaze filled with dirty desires and ill intentions as I stared at her long white legs, Ningguang slowly turned her head to look at me, and our eyes met.

After looking at each other quietly for about three seconds, she nodded slightly to me.

So polite.

Although it was a bit rude, I didn't nod in response.

Because... I don't know if she is looking at me or nodding at me!

Although I feel like I'm looking into Ningguang's eyes, this could just be an illusion, right?

If this is really an illusion, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for me to nod in response?

I didn't intend to add any more to my dark history, so I ignored Ningguang's nod and treated it as if it had nothing to do with me.

"Traveler, it seemed like Lady Ningguang was looking at you just now?"

"That's your illusion."

"Huh? No way? She was looking in your direction for several seconds."

"Is there anyone behind me?"

“There are a lot.”

"Then how did you know she was looking at me?"

"Uh...you have a point."

People should not be narcissistic. Once they are narcissistic, they may fall into a trap.

Paimon, you are still too young!

"The auspicious time has come!"

With the sound of chimes, Ningguang began the ceremony.

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the sky darkened, the light flickered, the tornado swirled, and then - a dragon fell from the sky with a snap.

"Click!!"

I picked up my camera and took a picture of this famous scene.

Ningguang was stunned and immediately stepped forward to the fallen half-unicorn, half-dragon god and examined him seriously.

Her expression gradually became one of disbelief, but she still reacted as quickly as possible.

"The emperor has been killed! Lock down the whole place!"

A group of Qianyan soldiers quickly surrounded and blocked the entire area.

"What…what happened?"

Paimon looked around and asked in panic:

"She said the Emperor was murdered? Could it be that the God of Rock...died...died?!"

"Don't panic, Paimon. It's just the death of a god. It's not a big deal. Stay calm. It wasn't us who did it, so we have a clear conscience."

This was Zhongli's doing! Zhongli killed the Geo King! What does this have to do with me?

Anyway, I won't run away. If I run now, everyone will look at me as a murderer.

I am not the traveler in the original novel who still regards all gods as imaginary enemies at this moment. I am a returning Aquaman who has traveled to six countries and established good relations with six gods. I am fearless!

——The one walking towards the fearless me is Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star.

Yes, it wasn’t the Qianyan Army who came to interrogate me, but Ningguang herself who walked towards me with a serious look.

"Traveler from Mondstadt. Jyn told me about you. I have something to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

"You disappeared for three days after arriving in Liyue Harbor. Where did you go during those three days?"

...Should I admire your intelligence capabilities?

"I went to another world. Paimon can testify for me."

"Yes, yes, I can testify to that!" Paimon said in a panic, "We really did go to another world, and we even met the gods of another world in that world!"

"Another world..."

Ningguang fell into deep thought.

"I also heard from Qin that you are a traveler from another world. Can you bring others with you across the world? It's hard to believe."

"I'm sorry, but since you're so wary of me, I can't take you with me through another world to prove it to you."

"Since there's no way to prove it, then you're the most likely suspect among those present."

"Why? Do I look like someone who can kill gods?"

"First of all, you don't seem surprised at all by the Emperor's murder. You're far too calm. Your attitude alone is enough to make me suspicious. Secondly..."

Ningguang said solemnly:

"If I had to say who among you possesses the power to kill gods, it could only be you, right?"

I didn't react at first.

The next moment I finally reacted.

King…you killed me!!!

I gave up struggling and asked calmly, "Even if I really did kill the Rock King, don't you think your actions were reckless? He's the longest-lived of the Seven Gods. As a Liyue person, you're well aware of his power, right? So, facing the Rock King's killer, what can you do?"

"Maybe there really is nothing that can be done. But that's no reason to do nothing."

Ningguang raised her right hand, her face determined, and many gemstone creations condensed from rock elements began to surround her body.

At this moment, the Qianyan Army noticed what was happening here and gathered around, and ordinary people also began to flee the scene.

Ningguang's voice was resolute: "The Emperor has protected Liyue for thousands of years. Liyue will never allow the Emperor to pass away in such an unclear manner. If you are truly the murderer, Liyue will bring you to justice, even if it means sacrificing everything!"

Volume 96: Chapter Zhongli

"Okay, I admit defeat."

Facing Ningguang's serious expression, I raised my hands and surrendered.

"Let me state once again that I did not kill the Rock King Emperor. I will cooperate with the investigation."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment, then dispersed her rock elemental power and waved to the Thousand Rock Army: "You retreat first."

"Lord Ningguang?"

"It's okay. Although we can't say he's absolutely not lying, with his strength, there's no need for him to lie to us. Someone who dares to murder the Emperor can't be without the confidence to deal with us."

After the Qianyan Army retreated, Ningguang looked at me again and asked, "You're so calm, as if you already knew what was going to happen today. So, do you have any clues about the Emperor's passing?"

"Have."

Ningguang's eyes lit up: "What is it?"

"I know who the murderer is, but I won't tell you."

"Why? Do you intend to shield the murderer? ... Please don't worry, we'll only seek our own demise if we seek him. I've said before, the Emperor has protected Liyue for thousands of years, and we simply cannot allow him to pass away in vain. No matter the cost, Liyue will bring the murderer to justice!"

"You can guess the reason yourself. Anyway, I have no interest in getting involved in your Liyue affairs, so I'll take my leave now."

"etc…!"

Without waiting for Ningguang to say anything to try to keep me, I teleported away with Paimeng.

I'm so sorry, I'm a man who can't be retained like the wind.

So the next moment, Paimon and I arrived at the street leading to Changshengtang.

Then I took Paimon to the Hall of Rebirth.

Seeing the ceremonial girl at the door, I softly asked, "Hello, is your Walnut Hall Master here?"

"Are you here to see the Hall Master? I'm sorry, but the Hall Master was out for something a few days ago and I'm afraid she won't be back anytime soon. If there's anything you need, you can tell me and I'll pass it on to her when she returns. And if it's funeral matters, it doesn't necessarily have to be presided over by the Hall Master herself."

Since she’s not here...that’s normal, Zhongli will definitely send Hutao away.

It’s not that he was afraid that Hu Tao would be in danger, but simply because if Hu Tao was there, he would have no business attending the funeral of Emperor Yan Wang. How could it be his turn as a mere guest official of the Rebirth Hall to attend the funeral of Emperor Yan Wang?

Although Hu Tao has never attended the funeral of an immortal, as a guest official you can teach Master Hu how to do it but you cannot interfere in his duties, right?

Therefore, it is reasonable that Hu Tao is not in Liyue now.

"What about Mr. Zhongli?"

"Mr. Zhongli has gone to watch the ceremony of inviting the immortals."

Wow, so the real murderer who murdered the Geo King was actually at the scene before? I didn't even see him. You hid it well, Zhongli!

"What can this little brother do for me?"

"Wow! You scared me to death! Don't suddenly appear behind someone!"

The sudden sound from behind almost scared Paimon to death.

"Sorry. I didn't go out of my way to hide my footsteps though."

Turning around, the man with amber eyes appeared before him.

"Hello, Mr. Zhongli, I was almost slandered as the murderer of Emperor Yanwang in Yujingtai. Do you have anything to say about this matter?"

"Eh? What murderer of the Rock King? What are you talking about, sir?"

"I witnessed this incident, but haven't you already resolved the misunderstanding with the Qianyan Army?"

Ignoring the maid's words for the moment, I sternly rebuked Zhongli, "But my spirit has been severely damaged, and I need compensation."

"This..." Zhongli's tone was a little embarrassed: "Although I don't think this matter has anything to do with me, but if you are really hurt, then I will treat you to a meal."

"Eat?" Paimon leaned forward, a look of surprise on his face. "Is this a free meal for no apparent reason? Traveler, you're really good at it!"

Free? So Paimon, you are so naive!

"Do you have money? Don't ask me to pay later."

“You can keep accounts.”

Oh, it seems it is indeed free, and Master Hu is paying for it.

I felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was not nice to ask Hu Tao to spend money without even meeting her.

Eh? No, that's not right. It seems like the young master is the one paying the bill right now!

"In that case, I won't be polite. Let's go to Xinyuexuan and order a table of the best! Paimeng, eat as much as you want. There's no need to save money for our young master."

"Young Master? What Young Master?"

“It’s an ATM.”

"What's an ATM?"

"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you still want to have a big meal?"

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

This strange case of murdering gods has nothing to do with me.

Even though I am having dinner face to face with the murderer, I have no intention of capturing him and handing him over to the Qianyan Army. Instead, we are having a pleasant conversation.
