Original God, I am the only designated Red King God Envoy of Xumi

"...I understand." The one who spoke was Xiao. He put on the terrifying ghost mask again. Xiao's words were also the consensus of many immortals present. They stimulated the immortal power in their bodies, and Ying stood in the center of the immortals, acting as a repeater.

In the previous process of resisting the Fatui, Ying showed a high adaptability to immortal power. The rest of the Qianyan Army only received some blessings at most, but Ying integrated it into the battle and used it very skillfully. In the words of Grandma Ping, Ying's bones are extraordinary and can accommodate many kinds of immortal power without worrying about rejection.

As various immortal powers were injected into Ying's body, she emitted a rich golden light. These golden lights were guided by Ying to the long sword and injected into the Qun Yu Pavilion.

The Jade Pavilion stood above Osel's head, and the immortal power within it was rapidly stimulated. The golden light penetrated the dark clouds and illuminated the sky. It fell straight towards Osel, just like the sword of judgment hanging high above his head in mythology.

"Boom!" Such a huge immortal power was stimulated, causing an unimaginable explosion. The intense energy evaporated the sea water, and for a moment it was as if the sea was split apart. Under such an explosion, Osel was finally unable to resist, and he fell into a state of extreme weakness.

The previous "No Taboos" Talisman at best shook the power of the seal, giving Osel a chance to break free. When his power was no longer enough to resist the power of the seal, he was naturally suppressed again. He returned to Lord Guyun and disappeared in just a moment. The dark clouds in the sky slowly dissipated, and the heavy rain finally stopped.

The sun shone on the devastated, lower part of Liyue Harbor. The almost exhausted Thousand Rocks Army suddenly relaxed and fell unconscious or lying down in large numbers. They had finally resisted the disaster, and this time it was their victory.

Chapter 43: After the Disaster

The immortals used their remaining immortal power to build a barrier and brought everyone in the Qun Yu Pavilion to the port safely. As the Vortex Demon was suppressed again, the originally surging sea water began to slowly recede. With the sudden relaxation, many people collapsed to the ground.

"...Goodbye, old friend." Ningguang looked at the sea in the distance. That was where the Jade Pavilion had landed before. This Jade Pavilion condensed all her past. Saying goodbye to such a precious old friend, Ningguang's heart seemed to be bleeding.

"Huh..." Ningguang took a deep breath, suppressed the reluctance in her eyes, and in an instant returned to the posture of the top businessman above thousands of people. Now was not the time for her to be sad, some important matters needed to be resolved right now.

"Thank you all for your help. If you hadn't been here, the future of Liyue Harbor would have been unpredictable."

"No need to take the opportunity to flatter me. You know very well why we're here. Now's the time to talk about it, right?" It was Liu Yun who spoke. Her words were much softer than at first, but still not very pleasant. In the end, it was Grandma Ping who stepped forward and acted as a peacemaker again.

"Liuyun, there's no need to be so confrontational." Grandma Ping, hands behind her back, spoke kindly and cordially. "I've watched Ningguang grow up. When she was just starting to learn the ropes of business, she already used her limited income to plan for the affairs of the Qun Yu Pavilion."

"Originally, it was only the size of a room. Through continuous expansion, it became the magnificent palace it is today." Grandma Ping waved her hand gently. "This is a reflection of her life as a merchant, as a Seven Star, and also of her life."

"The Jade Pavilion was destroyed for Liyue. I think this level of cooperation and sacrifice deserves at least a word of praise."

Grandma Ping's words silenced all the immortals present, especially Liu Yun. The reason they came here was very clear. They felt that the actions taken by Qixing under such circumstances were unreasonable. They believed that they had betrayed the contract made by the Emperor to protect Liyue, which was why they came here to confront them.

But Ningguang made such a sacrifice for Liyue. Isn't that enough to prove her, and even Qixing's, feelings for Liyue? Being so aggressive is indeed inappropriate.

"Thank you, Immortal, for speaking up for me. Actually, we, the Seven Stars, are well aware of the purpose of your visit today... but we cannot compromise."

"Oh?" It was Xueyue who spoke. Ningguang's words did not sound very pleasant to his ears, but for the sake of Grandma Ping and the fact that she had previously given up the Qun Yu Pavilion, Xueyue waited for Ningguang's next words.

"Three thousand seven hundred years... According to records, the immortals have signed a contract with the Emperor to protect Liyue for over three thousand seven hundred years. To this day, the mountains, rivers, and land of Liyue remain as solid as they were a thousand years ago. This is an astonishing feat, and it would have been impossible without the unwavering protection of the immortals."

Ningguang was well versed in the art of words. She understood the attitudes of the other immortals, so she flattered and appeased them first, and also prepared for the subsequent efforts to persuade them with both emotion and reason.

"But this doesn't mean that Liyue is still the same Liyue of 3,700 years ago. If you immortals only view this city with a protective eye, you will overlook many things. I hope you can take a look at the people of Liyue Harbor and understand what they truly hope for."

One of the reasons why the immortals came here was that they had developed a deep distrust of the Seven Stars. In addition, since they had a contract to protect Liyue, they planned to directly intervene in the management of Liyue Harbor. However, the immortals could not adapt to the current era and therefore fled to the mountains. How could such a self-evident approach really have any effect?

"..." The immortals were unhappy for a moment. Ningguang was directly questioning their way of protecting Liyue Harbor. At this time, Ying, who had been watching, spoke up. She was a stranger, and the immortals and even the Seven Stars did not want to lose their manners in front of her and look unpleasant.

"If a conflict arises between the guardians and the people they protect, things will become very difficult to salvage." Ying cryptically explained what might happen if the immortals intervened in the management of Liyue Harbor according to their current thinking. At the same time, she used similar stories she learned in Mondstadt to try to persuade them with both emotion and reason.

"That's right. Didn't Ningguang just say, 'Please take a close look at this city and everyone here'? That's what I've been doing all these years. Why don't you give it a try?" As an immortal who has been in Liyue Harbor and has watched it develop to where it is today, Grandma Ping knows the current situation of Liyue Harbor best, and therefore she is the one who sees everything most thoroughly.

"..." The immortals exchanged glances, each one able to see the doubt in the other's eyes. Finally, the Demon Subduing Great Sage spoke first, "Liyue still has many obstacles to overcome. As a Dharma Protector Yaksha, I cannot afford to sit idle here. I refuse your offer to see Liyue Harbor with my own eyes."

Xiao turned around and looked at Ningguang before leaving, adding, "However, I acknowledge your determination to protect Liyue. I will not interfere further in this matter. But if one day the Seven Stars betray their 'contract'..."

"Thank you, Great Sage Subduing Demons, for your understanding." Although Xiao's words were not pleasant to the ears, they essentially conveyed trust, and Ying had a deeper understanding of this. As the Great Sage Subduing Demons, Xiao had the duty to kill the monsters left on the land of Liyue due to the remnants of the dead demon god. Such a duty often made him very busy, and in the process he was inevitably affected by the demon god's evil thoughts and contaminated with karma.

To this day, ordinary people will be adversely affected if they just stand next to the Demon-Slaying Sage for a moment. Xiao's reluctance to stay in Liyue Harbor for too long is essentially a protection for ordinary people.

Ying secretly made up her mind to find an opportunity to bring Xiao a portion of his favorite almond tofu. He was actually much more enthusiastic and loyal than he seemed. Xiao had helped her twice before, so it would be inappropriate to just forget about him.

"...Well, since I finally get to come out of the mountains, it won't hurt to stay in the mortal world for a few more days." Xie Yue said. He chose to give in, and the other two immortals did the same.

"Do you need me to prepare a place for you to stay?"

"You don't need to worry about it. Although we haven't been out of the mountain for a long time, we are not stumped by these things." Liuyun flapped his wings and flew towards Chihu Rock. Lishui glanced at Ningguang and followed closely behind, while Xieyue transformed on the spot into a middle-aged man in a simple long robe.

"Aping, I haven't seen that little girl Yaoyao for some time. Let's go and see how the child is doing?" Xueyue came to the side of Grandma Ping. Grandma Ping readily agreed to hear this, and the two of them slowly walked towards the direction of Yujingtai.

The storm ended with this. Ningguang watched the immortals leave, secretly breathing a sigh of relief. She turned her gaze to Ying and thanked him, "Thank you for your help, Traveler. Liyue Harbor will enter a period of post-disaster reconstruction, and I imagine the Seven Stars will be quite busy during this period. I will formally express my gratitude to you two after this period is over."

"It's nothing, we all understand!" It was Paimeng who replied. She smiled brightly for a moment. No wonder others said that this Tianquan was capable. He referred to her and Ying as "two people", which undoubtedly gave Paimeng some respect that made her very comfortable.

"If there's anything you can do for me, just let me know - I'll need a lot of travel expenses when I go to other countries later." Ying put her hands on her hips and spoke in a relaxed tone, half jokingly and half casually.

"In that case, I won't be polite in the future. If I can exchange Imora for two such helpers, I would be more than happy to do so." Ningguang also responded half-jokingly and half-seriously. She quite appreciated Xiang Ying's frankness in speaking. It would be less troublesome to cooperate with such a person.

Ningguang said goodbye to Ying and got up to rush to Yujingtai. She had lost the Qun Yu Pavilion and the Emperor, and had just survived a disaster. It was foreseeable that she would have a lot of things to do.

"Come to think of it, we don't know where Zhongli is now. Shall we go to the Hall of Rebirth to ask?" Paimeng looked at Ying after watching Ningguang leave. Zhongli left in a hurry at first, and no one knew what happened to him until now. Ying nodded when she heard this. She was somewhat worried about him.

Without any further delay, the two of them immediately set off for the Hall of Rebirth. However, when they got there, they discovered that Zhongli was not in the Hall of Rebirth. He seemed to have gone to the Bank of the North.

Ying was worried that Zhongli might be in danger over there, so she rushed over immediately with Paimon. However, in the Northland Bank, the atmosphere was not as tense as Ying had expected.

"So, you and this Liyue Rock God made a contract long ago, and I was the only one who didn't know about it in the end?" Tartaglia looked at the lady and Zhongli, who still looked calm, with an exhausted look. He endured the discomfort to use those strategies that he didn't like, and was burdened by the Demon King's Armed Forces, but in the end he was told that he was being fooled?

He never imagined that Liyue's Rock God was right next to him—why would someone like that arrange their own funeral? Was he seriously ill?

"Haha... don't worry about these things, sir. In the end, you completely ignored the deal and calculations and simply made a big fuss. Aren't you happy about it? This is in line with your style..." The lady's words were plain, but there was always a sense of arrogance that followed her like a shadow. This arrogance was engraved in her bones and could not be changed.

"If you ask me, it's already very good that you didn't get taught a lesson by this Liyue Rock God." The lady commented lightly. These words made Tartaglia unable to laugh for a while. After all, he was indeed no match for Zhongli in front of him.

"...Wait, it seems like someone you know is here." The lady looked towards the gate. Upon hearing that, Tartaglia and Zhongli also looked there. The ones who walked in were Ying and Paimon, and the two were stunned when they saw the three people present.

"Zhongli, Young Master, and... Madam?!" Ying and Paimon became extremely alert in an instant, and the atmosphere in the lobby became solemn for a moment.

Chapter 44: Sending Immortals to the Ceremony

It took Qixing and his group two full days to take care of the areas affected by the disaster and prepare some things. The atmosphere in Liyue Harbor during these two days was very subtle. The people of Liyue were talking about the sudden appearance of the Vortex Demon and the death of the Emperor. Now Qixing brought the preparations for the Immortal Sending Ceremony to the forefront, which was equivalent to confirming it.

On the third day, the ceremony of sending off the immortal was finally held. Many Liyue people gathered at Yujing Terrace. The place was crowded for a while. They all came to confirm the news. Today, the instructor of Qianyan Army would preach about the death of the Emperor.

Ying arrived here early and got a good position thanks to her good relationship with Qixing. Two days ago, she saw the Young Master, the Lady and Zhongli at the North Country Bank, from which she learned that Zhongli was the God of Rock, and that this matter was planned by him from beginning to end.

He made a deal with the lady, or more precisely, with the Ice Queen behind the lady. Zhongli handed over his God's Heart to the Fatui, and Ying had no idea what kind of bargaining chips the Ice Queen added on the other side - she only felt that she had suffered a great shock, and this shock had only completely subsided today.

So she had been co-hosting Yan Shen's own funeral from the beginning to the end? This feeling was really... a little hard to describe.

As time passed slowly and it was almost noon, Feng Yan, the head coach of the Qianyan Army, finally walked up to the crowd. He stood in front of the crowd with his back straight. For a moment, the scene became quiet, waiting for Feng Yan to speak.

"Everyone, please know this: Though soaring dragons and flying unicorns may live as long as the mountains, they will eventually turn to dust and ashes. The Emperor is immortal, his life span equal to the sun and moon, but the weather has its ups and downs, and even thunderstorms may occur. Rumors and rumors spread that the Emperor was assassinated, but these are untrue. The Emperor has suffered a celestial catastrophe, and his soul has returned to heaven. Therefore, I hereby announce this to Liyue, and pray that the people of Liyue mourn with understanding and avoid heartbreak."

"—Also, stop listening to rumors and making wild guesses." Feng Yan's spear struck the ground, signaling the end like a storyteller's gavel. He then slowly walked into the room. For a moment, the people of Liyue below had varying expressions. Most found it hard to believe such a statement. But then, on second thought, the Emperor possessed immense magical powers. How could anyone be so powerful as to assassinate him? An accident was indeed more plausible.

The Qianyan Army began to lead the crowd slowly into the venue. There were many incense burners placed in the venue for people to burn incense and pray for the emperor. This was also part of the ceremony of sending off the immortals, and it was also a way to relieve grief. Ningguang stood next to the largest incense burner in the center of the crowd and delivered a speech.

For a moment, an indescribable gloomy atmosphere enveloped the place. Ying and Paimon were a little breathless, so they came to the edge, where they saw Zhongli leaning on the stone railing overlooking Liyue Harbor.

"Zhongli, how did you feel watching your own funeral?" Ying asked, her hands on her hips, teasing him. She was intentionally trying to avoid being affected by the gloomy atmosphere. Paimon then added, "Look, the people of Liyue all thought they'd never see Prince Yan again. You really need to experience this atmosphere of remembrance."

"...But you seem to be in a relaxed state." Paimon crossed her arms. For a moment, she didn't know how to evaluate the Rock God in front of her. Should she say that he was worthy of being her father?

"Hahaha...Wouldn't it be easier after unloading the burden of three thousand seven hundred years?" Zhongli spread out his hands. As he said this, a gentle smile appeared on his face. Everything in front of him made him so satisfied.

The full score was 60 points, and the immortals and the Seven Stars finally gave a 100-point answer, so he was able to officially announce his retirement. The immortals also made a decision in the past two days. They decided not to interfere with mortals. From then on, Liyue will be governed entirely by humans.

But the immortals did not say goodbye to Liyue. They would still serve as a solid backing and stand up when disaster struck. This was the oath they made with the Emperor. Zhongli informed some people in the form of dreams that he was not really dead, and these immortals also knew it, so in the end everything was happy.

"Speaking of which, are you two free? How about I take you to Xinyuexuan?"

"Ah? Are you serious? If three bowls were enough, I would believe it... but for a place like Xinyuexuan, is your Mora really enough?" Paimon's eyes were full of distrust, and Zhongli shook his head when he saw it.

"Mora is not enough, but I'm not here to clear you out this time. Remember Amber's invitation? The time is today at noon, and I came here to inform you for a reason."

"Amber is treating us? Then let's go quickly!" Paimeng's attention was drawn away in an instant. If Zhongli said that he would treat the two of them to dinner at Xinyuexuan Liuliting, Paimeng would not believe it, but it would be different if it was Amber. She was much more reliable in such matters.

"You..." Ying held her forehead and shook her head, lamenting that Paimon's nature was hard to change, but she really didn't want to continue staying in this place with a heavy atmosphere, so she followed Zhongli and slowly left Yujingtai.

"This experience can be considered a good journey, but there will be a day when we must part ways. You two will both continue your journey, right?" Zhongli spoke to Ying halfway through the journey, and Ying nodded when he heard it.

"Yes, Nanahoshi promised me to post a missing person notice about my brother here. My journey will continue. Next, I have to go to the Land of Lightning, Inazuma... but I heard that they are in isolation."

"Yes, the country is closed due to the will of the gods." Zhongli explained to Ying calmly, "Inazuma's god, Baal, is known as the General of Thunder, just as I am known as the Geo Emperor in Liyue. Unlike me, she directly serves as the supreme ruler of Inazuma."

"Inazuma is currently in the midst of the 'Eye Hunting Order.' The Thunder God Baal erected the Thousand-Armed, Hundred-Eyed Statue, confiscating the divine eyes of mortals and embedding them within it. Just as Barbatos is the God of Freedom and I am the God of Contract, that Baal is the God of Eternity."

"It seems that she is determined to eliminate all unstable factors for the sake of eternity." Zhongli said it in a rather general way. He explained that he didn't know Inazuma very well, and Ying gave up the idea of ​​asking further questions after hearing this.

Later on the way, the three of them talked about a bunch of random things. Ying mentioned the truth about the Emperor's death given by Qixing. Zhongli laughed out loud when he heard it. He lamented that Qixing could actually give such an unreliable explanation about thunder tribulation, but if the current situation could be stabilized, these explanations would not matter.

The three of them also talked about the young master. When she mentioned Young Master Ying, she felt her teeth itching. She hated herself for not seeing through the young master's true face from the beginning - if she had known this would happen, she would have bought all kinds of luxury goods when the young master reimbursed her money, such as precious calligraphy and paintings, flowers, and antiques, all of which were bought by the car, instead of squeezing this man dry!

Zhongli told Ying that Ningguang was launching a frantic attack on the Fatui at the diplomatic negotiation table because of the fact that Young Master had sent people to interfere with the Jade Pavilion's defense against the Demon God. The Fatui were now in an unprecedentedly unfavorable situation in Liyue, and it would be difficult for them to do anything from now on.

After chatting and walking, it was noon when they finally arrived at Xinyuexuan. The waiter welcomed them in, but after opening the door, Ying saw a slightly strange situation.

"Ah, it seems everyone is here, please sit down." As the host of this meal, Amber naturally sat in the main seat. She stood up and asked everyone to take their seats. Zhongli sat down slowly, while Ying hesitated for a moment.

She didn't know how to describe the scene before her. On one side of Amber sat Nashida and two middle-aged men, and on the other side sat Grandma Ping and another green-haired woman who looked more mature at first glance. Next to Grandma Ping was a slightly smaller chair, on which sat a lively little girl who seemed very popular with everyone present.

Obviously, apart from Grandma Ping and the two younger generations, the other two men and one woman did not look very old either. However, Ying inexplicably felt a strong sense of "age" from them. She also felt that these three people were a little familiar to her, but she could not remember who they were for a moment.

"I didn't expect that the last guest, besides the Emperor, would be you, the traveler." The speaker was a middle-aged man in a rock-colored robe. His voice sounded quite heavy. Ying and Paimon widened their eyes for a moment when they heard it.

"You mean the Emperor...? You know Zhongli's identity...?" Paimeng was a little dumbfounded. Ying thought for a moment before speaking, "This voice... is you, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang."

"Haha, yes, it's me." Xie Yue laughed heartily. "Although I transformed into a human form before your eyes before, I left in a hurry that time, so it's no wonder you two don't remember."

"In that case... the other two are True Lord Liuyun and True Lord Lishui?" Ying glanced at the remaining two immortals. Lishui's human form looked more delicate, a little younger than Xueyue, while Liuyun's human form was different. She was a mature but not too old beautiful woman.

"I didn't expect that this immortal who speaks so rudely would be so handsome in human form." Paimon has always been quite outspoken, and this time he said what he was thinking directly.

"How dare you criticize an immortal?" Ying heard the voice she was most familiar with among the three immortals. She was certain it was Liuyun Zhenjun. Grandma Ping, seeing this, told Liuyun not to take it too seriously: "Liuyun, today is a day for us to gather together for a lively meal. Don't worry about it. Yaoyao is still here."

As she spoke, Grandma Ping looked at Yaoyao with a kind smile on her face. Originally, Grandma Ping had not planned to bring Yaoyao to this dinner, but the three fairies all loved Yaoyao very much, and Amber had no objection, so she brought her along. Yaoyao and Nashida had been chatting happily before - she obviously regarded Nashida as a peer.

The immortals present had no reservations about mentioning that Zhongli was the Emperor in front of Yaoyao. Yaoyao was a unique child, having had a strong affinity with immortals since childhood. There was no need to worry that revealing Zhongli's true identity would scare her. She would keep the secret well even if she knew it.

"Ahem, what kind of words are you talking about?" In front of Yaoyao, Liu Yun subconsciously restrained his sharpness. "I'm just teaching the young people what respect is. They will meet many people in the future - and not everyone will be as easy to talk to as this immortal. If someone blames them for being rude, they will be in trouble."

Grandma Ping just smiled when she heard this and did not criticize Liuyun. Yaoyao was also quite supportive and slightly agreed with some of Liuyun's statements. This made Liuyun smile, which was rare. With such jokes, the atmosphere at the dinner party became relaxed for a while.

"Everyone here basically knows each other, so there's no need to worry too much about unnecessary formalities. Just relax a little. We're having dinner together today just for fun." Amber picked up a glass of wine and made a pre-dinner talk. She first toasted the oldest Zhongli, then Grandma Ping and the three fairies. As for Ying, Paimon, Nashida and Yaoyao, there was naturally no wine prepared for them.

"Oh, this wine tastes wonderful, mellow and leaves a lingering aftertaste. I wonder what its name is...?" The speaker was Lishui. He was unexpectedly talkative when it came to wine, and Zhongli was quite satisfied with this wine - simply because the texture and taste were truly novel.

"This is date palm wine from the Xumi Desert. If Master Lishui likes it, how about I give you a few jars later?" Amber responded with a smile. Lishui did not refuse after hearing that. He thanked Amber and accepted her kindness, and the dinner party really began.

It must be said that the food at Xinyuexuan was very good, and everyone enjoyed it very much. Ying and Paimeng also integrated into the atmosphere. It was not until they were halfway through the meal that they suddenly discovered a problem.

"Oh, by the way... Speaking of which, Amber, how did you get to know these immortals?"

Chapter 45: The Immortal's Dilemma

Ying's words brought Amber back to her memories. It was quite a coincidence that she mentioned her contact with these immortals. Although she met Yaoyao when she came to Liyue last time, she had never met Yaoyao's uncles and aunts like this. The only immortal she had actually met was Grandma Ping.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time they met. I don't know if the immortals were in a hurry to leave or had been away from the world for too long, or if they were descendants of a certain rock god. When Amber brought Nashida to see Liuyun and Lishui, they were sitting near the steps of Chihu Rock, looking rather lonely, muttering to themselves.

Comments like "I didn't expect the world to change so much", "I left in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring Mora with me", "Who could have thought it would be like this in the end", combined with the fact that Zhongli, the God of Geo, doesn't usually bring Mora with him, gave Amber a feeling that this is a "tradition" of Liyue.

For a moment, the two immortals did not have any immortal aura at all. Instead, they looked more like businessmen who had failed in investment, with eyes full of despair.

Amber walked up to them and started a conversation. She started by asking, "Why do the two immortals look so embarrassed?" and opened up the two immortals' conversation. At first, they were quite surprised that the person in front of them knew their identities, but then they relaxed after hearing that Amber had a good relationship with Zhongli and Yaoyao.

"Since you are the Emperor... Mr. Zhongli's friend, it's not surprising that you know the name of this immortal." Liu Yun stood straight, and there was no trace of his previous dejected look in his words and deeds. Amber did not point it out - people still have to fight for some face, let alone the immortal in front of them?

"Alas, if our purpose was not to witness all kinds of things in the mortal world, we would not have to hide our identity as immortals in front of ordinary people. How could we end up in this situation?" Li Shui was not so particular. He did not shy away from talking about his previous situation that did not live up to the demeanor of an immortal. Liu Yun's face fell a little when he heard Li Shui's words, but Li Shui reacted with a puzzled look.

"Even Mr. Zhongli often finds himself in the awkward position of forgetting his Mora. You two Immortals, don't worry about it." Amber chuckled and brushed the matter aside, using Zhongli's story as a prelude. While Zhongli's frequent forgetfulness of Mora was simply a result of his role as a Rock God—he possessed the power to summon Mora at any moment—why would he still need to carry it? The two Immortals nonetheless descended the stairs, and for a moment, Liuyun's expression brightened considerably.

"It's almost time for dinner. It's fate that I meet two immortals today. How about I treat you two and ask you to do me the honor of going with me to taste the delicacies of the mortal world?" It should be said that Amber is very good at talking. Although Lishui didn't care much about this compliment, Liuyun was very grateful. However, according to Liyue's tradition, if they were not very familiar with each other, they would have to decline several times, and Liuyun was no exception.

"This...isn't it a bad idea for a mortal like you to lose money?"

"Of course not! If I could trade some Mora for a favorable impression in the eyes of the two Immortals, that would be a blessing for a mortal like me," Amber said, spouting polite words one after another. "Besides, this time we're not going to places like Liuli Pavilion or Xinyuexuan, but Wanmin Hall, a popular destination for the general public in Liyue."

"Since the two Immortals have humbled themselves and toured the mortal world to witness the daily lives and current aspirations of the people of Liyue, then this Wanmin Hall is a place we must visit. If the two Immortals don't mind, how about we go and inspect it together?"

"Hmm... That's great. I won't let your kindness go to waste." Liu Yun pretended to be doubtful and thought for a moment before finally agreeing. Li Shui had a tacit attitude from the beginning until now. After this discussion, the atmosphere between them became much more familiar. Although Liu Yun still maintained her airs, she was much softer in front of Amber - she rarely saw someone as capable as Amber.

Nashida was not familiar with such polite occasions, and she did not quite understand the benefit of such roundabout speaking. At first, she thought that this method would only reduce the efficiency of communication for no reason, but now she understood a little.

When facing an extremely hard stone, a blow from an iron hammer cannot hurt it at all, but flowing water, which is far less violent than the iron hammer, can invisibly erode the edges of the stone bit by bit, shaping it into a round shape. This is the way to overcome hardness with softness. Soft words often have miraculous effects when facing people like Liu Yun.
