"Well, I can see that you are quite vain." After looking up and down at Hu Zhaigong who was leaning against the tree trunk with a wine cup in his hand, Yu Qi nodded.

Of course, although he was speaking in a teasing manner, Yu Qi had to admit that Hu Zhaigong was indeed worthy of the word "stunningly beautiful". When one saw her for the first time, one could not help but feel his heart beating fast.

Although Zhen on the side is equally beautiful, her temperament is much gentler than the beauty and charm of Hu Zhaigong. She will not give people a very amazing feeling at first glance. Only after careful appreciation can one experience the intoxicating tranquility and elegance.

Generally speaking, Zhen is suitable as a wife, while Hu Zhai Gong is more suitable as a lover.

Well, it's just a metaphor, there is absolutely no other meaning.

Hearing this, Hu Zhaigong couldn't help but glared at Yu Qi. Just as he was about to speak, Zhen frowned beside him, as if he had seen something, and shouted softly: "Zhaigong, control your emotions!"

He raised his fingertips, and a brilliant flash of lightning flashed, with an aura that Yu Qi could not understand, and gently touched Hu Zhaigong's eyebrows. Accompanied by the buzzing sound of thunder, Yu Qi vaguely saw a black aura passing through Hu Zhaigong's eyes.

The fleeting aura was so obvious in Yu Qi's perception, so dirty and disgusting!

Suddenly, his mind recalled the scene he saw in a trance when he first entered the cave. Yu Qi frowned and keenly realized that the foul aura emanating from Hu Zhai Palace was extremely similar to the filth entangled on the towering ancient tree deep in the earth's veins!

In other words, they are the same thing!

In an instant, Yu Qi's eyes became much sharper!

Chapter 80: No matter when, Zhen will welcome you

Although he was a little surprised, Yu Qi did not show it on his face. He sat calmly on the blanket, looking at the several wine jugs in front of him. He thought for a moment and suddenly stretched out his hand.

"..."

Well, nothing happened.

"Tsk, this really isn't a dream." Yu Qi smacked his lips and shook his head, but there was no surprise on his face.

After all, he had already noticed it just now, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to avoid the "throwing himself into her arms" Hu Zhaigong, and even spoke many times to deliberately provoke her.

Sitting upright on the blanket, Yu Qi stared at the tiny flash of lightning at Zhen's fingertips, which was a power far beyond the lightning elemental force he possessed now.

Whether it is the purity of the elemental force itself or the strange power contained in the elemental force, it is completely incomparable to Yu Qi, who inherited the power of the immortal Yakshas.

For such an existence, there is only one guess that can come to Yu Qi’s mind - a demon!

"Why did the spirit of a fallen demon suddenly appear in my 'dream'? Is this the trouble that Alicia mentioned before? ! '

Recalling Alicia's attitude during the day, Yu Qi felt relieved. Since she had confirmed that this demon god named "Zhen" had no ill will towards her, there was no need to be too wary.

However, Yu Qi did not completely relax his vigilance. As his mind raced, he could clearly sense that he could still communicate with the 'Heart of the Thunder Wolf' in the outside world in this space.

No, to be precise, he even had a feeling...here, he could fully exert the power of the Thunder Wolf!

That is a power that is definitely no less than that of the Demon God of the world of Teyvat.

This is his real confidence that allows him to sit here so peacefully!

The lightning continued to flash, and the darkness that flashed across Hu Zhaigong's eyes became more and more frequent.

After waiting for a while and realizing that it might not be over for a while, Yu Qi simply closed his eyes and began to practice Qigong.

Until, I don’t know how long it took…

"Huh~" He withdrew his hand tiredly, raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, looking at Husai Palace who was also sweating profusely with some confusion.

"Saigong, why has the filth in you suddenly become so active? It has even begun to affect your emotions and sanity?!"

You know, the place where they are now is the core formed by the essence of the demon god. With the filth that Hu Zhaigong has been stained with, it is impossible for him to cause any trouble in such an environment!

At first, when she saw Hu Zhaigong teasing Yu Qi on purpose, she thought he was just joking like before. Later, when she found that she was really angry several times, she realized that there was something wrong with Hu Zhaigong's condition.

Only then did he take decisive action to prevent her situation from getting worse.

"I don't know either!" Frowning, Hu Zhaigong slowly sat up straight. His face looked less manic and more leisurely than before, or it would be more appropriate to say that he was happy.

"I didn't even realize that I was being affected before. If you hadn't pointed it out to me, I might have attacked this young man under the influence of that emotion."

Noticing the two women's gazes towards him, Yu Qi, who was practicing, slowly opened his eyes and said, "You two, are you done with your work?"

"Yes." Nodding somewhat apologetically, Hu Zhaigong stood up and bowed to Yu Qi gracefully: "Before, because of the influence of the filth in my body, there were some misunderstandings between me and Mr. Yu Qi."

"Zhaigong sincerely apologizes to you and is willing to accept any punishment from Mr. Yu Qi, but I hope that the conflict between us can be resolved."

Looking at the white-haired priestess kneeling in front of him, Yu Qi's mouth twitched. If he remembered correctly, this posture should be an etiquette called "Dogeza" from a certain island country in his previous life, right?

Does this world have it too?

As his thoughts turned, Yu Qi did not dare to neglect his hands. He stood up decisively and reached out to help Hu Zhaigong up: "I say, there is no need for such a big ceremony, right? It's just an unintentional small conflict, I didn't take it to heart anyway."

Yu Qi helped him up. Hu Zhaigong looked at his sincere expression and confirmed that he was not being sarcastic, then he heaved a sigh of relief.

"There is no other way. My humble lady and my master are currently staying at Mr. Yu Qi's place. We are uninvited guests. If we accidentally do something that offends the landlord, I dare not neglect him in the slightest!"

After saying that, Hu Zhaigong seemed to remember something, the smile on his lips froze slightly, and his eyes looking at Yu Qi became somewhat resentful again.

After hesitating for a while, she couldn't hold back her emotions and decided to ask: "Speaking of which, Mr. Yu Qi, can you tell me what you meant by the 'bad smell' on my body?!"

There was a strong sense of unwillingness in her words. She was not bragging. As a celestial fox of the fox clan, a follower of the god of thunder, and a priest of the Mingjingong Palace, she had always been a favored girl of heaven since she was a child.

With her stunning appearance and the natural charm that a fox girl possesses, she has charmed countless people, gods, demons and evildoers. Many young men have been obsessed with her just after seeing her once. She can be called the "arsonist of hearts" of all Inazuma.

This was the first time someone said she smelled bad. How could Husaigong accept this kind of comment without asking for clarification? !

After all, she is a girl. It is impossible for her not to care when people say she smells bad.

In response, Yu Qi blinked his eyes and shook his head decisively: "No, I'm not talking about you smelling bad, I just don't like someone breathing alcoholic breath at me."

What Yu Qi didn't say was that he did smell a strange odor from Hu Zhaigong at that time. Although it was not a bad smell, it was also particularly disgusting.

Now that I think about it, it was probably the foul smell that lingered in her body.

"..."

Unexpectedly, it was because of this reason. Hu Zhaigong blinked his eyes, playing with the pipe that appeared at some point, and asked curiously, "The smell of wine~ Mr. Yu Qi, don't you like drinking?"

"Well, it's not that I don't like it, I just simply haven't had it before and don't want to drink it."

To be honest, as a young man of the new era, Yu Qi is indeed an ordinary otaku who does not smoke or drink; let alone white wine, sake, or red wine, he has never touched even beer.

Needless to say, cigarettes.

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Zhen nodded, waved his hand silently, moved the wine jug on the blanket away, and replaced it with a pot of steaming tea.

"This is really inconsiderate. I wonder if Mr. Yu Qi would like some tea?"

"Tea is not bad. I like it."

Nodding, Yu Qi took the teacup handed over by the real possessed person with both hands, took a sip of the hot tea, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It tastes good."

"Haha, thank you for your praise. This was my favorite tea in the past, so I remember it very clearly. I was able to use the power here to reproduce it. If Mr. Yu Qi likes it, I will welcome you anytime."

"I just don't know if Inazuma still has this kind of tea after all these years. Ying doesn't really like drinking tea, she prefers desserts!"

He raised his hand, picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Zhen's mouth. Facing her with a somewhat melancholy expression, Kitsaigong smiled indifferently: "Who cares? You've been dead for so many years. As long as Inazuma is around, there won't be any big trouble. It's just a kind of tea. If it's gone, it's gone."

"Besides, the power you hold is the power of a moment and eternity. You should be very familiar with this situation. Why are you so sad?"

"That's right." With a smile, Zhen gently bit the snack handed to him by Hu Zhaigong, chewing the taste of memory, and sighed softly: "I finally regained consciousness, but I was a little obsessed."

"So, aren't you two going to explain your identities? And how did you get to me? Inazuma, I haven't been there yet."

"This is a long story."

"Then let's make a long story short."

Gently swallowing the snack in his mouth, Zhen picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said: "In simple terms, Mr. Yu Qi can call me Thunder Zhen, or Demon God Baal, the first generation Thunder God of the Thunder Country's Inazuma."

"And Saigū is my retainer, the chief priest of Inazuma Narugami Taisha Shrine."

"Zaigong and I both died in the disaster five hundred years ago. After our consciousness or souls were shattered, they were immersed in the earth veins."

"According to the original situation, our souls should have been gradually eroded over the course of a long period of time, and after returning to their origins, they would be reborn by the world at a certain time."

"Reincarnation?" Yu Qi raised his eyebrows and heard Lei Dianzhen's description. This word instantly popped up in his mind.

He looked at Yu Qi with some surprise, and then as if he thought of something, a look of realization appeared on Lei Dianzhen's face. He suppressed his surprise and shook his head.

"Not entirely. To be more precise, it is..." With a hint of hesitation on his face, Lei Dianzhen glanced at Yu Qi again before he spoke word by word: "Restart!"

"But these are not important now." Shaking his head, as if he was particularly reluctant to talk about such things, the tight-lipped Lei Dianzhen quickly led the topic to other directions.

"About why we appeared on Mr. Yu Qi's body..."

"Mr. Yu Qi, you have come into close contact with the earth veins several times before. For some reason, the aura you carry has an extremely strong attraction to my residual soul."

"Unconsciously, my shattered soul was pulled by the flow of the earth veins and gathered again in the earth veins around Mr. Yu Qi's home. Although it was only a small piece of residual soul, it also allowed me to regain some consciousness."

"And last night, when you were meditating, Mr. Yu Qi, your spirit truly entered the earth veins. Under the influence of some mysterious power, I instinctively lodged my remaining soul in the lightning elemental origin core on your neck."

"As for Saigū, it was a fragment of soul that I forcibly stripped from the filth through the connection between the demon god and his followers without realizing it."

"But because she has been immersed in the filth of the earth for too long, her soul has inevitably been corroded by the filth. Even I can only rely on the power of this demon core to passively suppress the filth in her body."

"Before, she was affected by the filth running wild in her body, which is why her personality became so strange."

"Is that so?" Yu Qi nodded slightly, his expression calm and his eyes thoughtful.

Chapter 81 Why not the Grass God?

Yu Qi is very calm now, really very calm!

Perhaps it was because he had encountered so many things in the past two days that he was particularly calm about the fact that he had just casually practiced Qigong and ended up attracting the remnant spirit of a demon god...

"What the hell is calm about this!" He slammed the table furiously in his heart. Yu Qi's face remained expressionless, but he had already started to complain crazily in his heart!

Is this situation a bit wrong? Are he and the gods too monkey-like?

Wow, it’s amazing that I was noticed by the gods of Sky Island on the first day after traveling to Teyvat.

After all, this is someone else's territory. He is a time traveler, an ordinary person who is sneaking across the border under the nose of the gods. Naturally, he must be prepared to be discovered.

He endured this.

Because he traveled to the Rock Kingdom, on the second day after arriving in the capital Liyue Harbor, he ran into a god who was suspected to be the Rock God.

Okay, he accepted this one. After all, this was their home ground, so it was not surprising that they noticed something abnormal with him!

but now……

What the hell, he just practiced Qigong and suddenly a residual soul of a demon god appeared on his body? Or was it the previous generation of Thunder God?

Isn’t this... a bit too outrageous?

Is it him, Yu Qi, who has a problem, or is it the gods of this world who have a problem?

Is it so easy to encounter God?

"Besides, why the Thunder God? Is it because I have the Thunder Element? I clearly rely on the Grass Element to communicate with the Earth Veins? Why don't you give me a previous Grass God?"

Yu Qi lowered his eyes and stared at the light green tea in the cup. After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Is it because Alicia discovered you this morning that she suddenly fell into a coma?"

"Miss Ai Lishia..." When they heard Yu Qi mention Ai Li's name, for some reason, Lei Dianzhen and Hu Zhaigong both had strange expressions.

It seems like fear, but not hostility. Instead, it seems like the helplessness of avoiding being harassed? !

The two looked at each other, and it was Raiden who started to explain: "Well, you can say that."

"In fact, we were also shocked at first. We unexpectedly appeared in this space and reunited with Saigū. Before we could figure out what was going on, Miss Alicia suddenly barged in with a kind of..."

His expression became solemn for some reason. Thinking of the previous situation, Lei Dianzhen was still a little scared: "A kind of power that makes people afraid."

The time went back a little to the morning, and in Lei Lang's heart, the lightning and thunder were in a space created by his mental power.

"Saigu?!" Leaning against the cherry tree behind him with a weak breath, Lei Dianzhen looked at the fox in his arms with some worry, and lightning flashed in his palms.

Her pure white fur was covered with layers of spots, a dark aura was entwined around her body, and her pair of golden eyes were full of blood and pain.

"Yeah, Zhen, it's okay." The white fox, also known as Kitsai Palace, spoke hoarsely to comfort Lei Dian Zhen. He forced a smile, and there was an unconcealable groan of pain in his voice, but his tone was exceptionally cheerful.

"You don't need to waste your energy on me anymore. I am already satisfied that I can still have the chance to meet you again after death."

"It's a pity that we won't be able to see Ying and Shenzi again. I just hope they can live happily and peacefully, and not share the same fate as us."
