Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 237 The ointment dedicated to the rock god

"Thank you for your hard work, you three."

As Zhongli said, he wanted to open the round box containing the balm, but Ying opened his eyes wide, and pulled Famas and Paimon back, quickly distanced himself from Zhongli who knew nothing about it.

"What happen to you guys?"

Zhong Li frowned suspiciously, looked at the three of them, then stared at the incense box in his hand, and slowly opened it.

The sweet and dreamy fragrance emanated from the first incense box, smelling the familiar fragrance, the tip of Zhongli's nose twitched, his calm expression suddenly froze on his face, his usual calm and smiling expression seemed to be broken like.

Apart from the fragrance of neon flowers, there seemed to be other smells in this box of ointment.

Glancing at Ying and Famas who were hiding far away, Ying had a rather reluctant expression on her face, while Famas covered her mouth and snickered.

"Crack."

Zhongli closed the lid of the balm.

With his thousands of years of knowledge, the moment he smelled the fragrance, he immediately judged the smell of sea beast glands mixed in the fragrance. It is clear that the smell of the balm is not right, perhaps because it is contaminated with the body fluids of other creatures in the Wanyou shop.

Zhongli opened the second box of balm expressionlessly, and the three of Famas retreated to the leeward direction, staring nervously at Zhongli standing next to the statue.

"Isn't Zhongli not affected by the smell of the balm?"

Paimon covered his mouth, looked at the motionless Zhongli, and exclaimed.

Even though they were standing downwind of the Seven Heavens God Statue, the fragrance from the second incense box still drifted into Ying and Paimeng's nostrils.

They were far apart, except for Paimon's blushing, Famas and Ying didn't respond.

Seeing Zhong Li closing the second box and about to open the last box of balm made from "Piao Miao Xian Yuan", Famas pulled Ying and slowly returned to the rock statue.

According to Famas' judgment, the only one that was not contaminated with sea beast gland fluid was the third box of balm, so there was no need to worry about embarrassing situations.

But looking at Zhongli's quiet eyes and expression like a volcanic eruption, Famas felt a lot more relaxed for no reason, and even smiled and moved to Zhongli's side, adding fuel and vinegar in a beating tone.

"The aroma of this box of balm is soft but lingering for a long time, like a hazy mist. It is most popular with mature women. As expected of Mr. Zhongli, it is a good choice!"

Do I have a choice? !
Zhongli resisted the urge to give Famas a star, and placed three boxes of ointment under the base of the statue of the rock god. When the third box of ointment fell, the statue shone with a golden halo.

Paimon and Ying were originally worried that Zhongli would smell something wrong in the ointment, but they didn't know that like Farmas, he didn't respond.

"Eh? That was just now?"

Paimon noticed the golden light in the statue and hurriedly greeted Famas who was with Zhongli.

"How does Emperor Yan Wang like it?"

Ying looked at the majestic statue of the rock god with a trace of uninhibitedness, and whispered softly.

"Eh? Farmas said that the third box of balm is the style that mature big sisters like to use, right?"

"Could it be that... Yanwang Dijun is actually a big sister?"

Hearing Ying's whisper, Paimon pointed out his finger in surprise.

I didn't expect the Rock God to be a woman!
"Pfft...hahahaha..."

Seeing Paimon's surprised look, Famas couldn't help laughing, and looked in Zhongli's direction intentionally or unintentionally.

"Why are you laughing, Famas? It's obviously a very serious question."

Paimon crossed his hips and looked at the excited Farmas in puzzlement.

Zhongli was not angry because of Paimeng's unintentional words, but just lowered his head in thought, as if he was remembering something, and then showed a nostalgic smile: "There are thousands of incarnations of King Yan, maybe there is such an image exist?"

"Even Zhongli you..."

Seeing that Famas and Zhongli were laughing at him, Pai Meng puffed up his mouth unhappily.

Ying, who had been watching the three of them chatting, stretched out her hand to pat Paimon's little head comfortingly.

"Ying is the best!"

Paimon grabbed Ying's arm and acted like a spoiled child.

"Yan Shen... we have only seen a huge dragon shape, and... I hope that Liyue Qixing is not the murderer who assassinated the emperor..."

She and Ying originally just wanted to see the grand occasion of inviting Xian Dianyi, but they didn't expect a dragon to fall from the sky.

At that time, Paimon thought it was the rock god who wanted to eat people.

"Let the high-ranking people worry about these things, my task is just to make a farewell ceremony with the Emperor Yan.

Zhongli nodded slightly, looking at Guiliyuan shrouded in night, but Ying was sorting out the strange relationship between the son, Qixing and Zhongli in her mind, and what plans they had.

"So, we've completed one more preparation, what's the next one?"

Paimeng walked around behind Zhongli and asked what else to prepare for sending Xian Dianyi.

"Next... I hope the three of you can borrow the dust-cleaning bell for me."

Zhong Li looked at Famas, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Dust cleaning bell?"

Paimon repeated curiously.

"Now, a friend of mine who keeps the Dichen Bell is called Grandma Ping. She lives near Yujing Terrace. If you ask her, she will naturally know."

Zhongli explained, Famas also seemed to be thinking of something, suddenly put away his indecent smile, and became serious rarely, looking at the gradually desolate Guiliyuan.

"Okay... But, Mr. Zhongli won't go with us this time?"

Sensing the gradually strange atmosphere, Paimon glanced at Famas suspiciously, then stared at Zhongli again.

"Well, I have some reasons for not being able to show up, and I will trouble the three of you to do it for me."

"It's getting late now, if you get the Dichen Bell tomorrow morning, let's see you at Yujing Terrace."

Zhongli looked at the three of them, but Famas keenly noticed that Zhongli's gaze had already passed them, heading towards Guiliyuan shrouded in the huge shadow of Tianheng Mountain.

After paying tribute to the statue, it was completely dark. Paimon waved his hand to bid farewell to Zhongli. Ying and Farmas were about to turn around and leave, but Zhongli stopped the boy in red.

"Famas, I have something to tell you."

There is a faint light of fire in the sky, which is the lights of thousands of families in Liyue Harbor. It spreads from the sky to the earth. At the end of the fire is the continuous Tianheng Mountain. A gray ridge line cuts through the brightly lit Liyue and the mountain. Overcast darkness.

"Eh? Why is Mr. Zhongli so mysterious... and Famas."

Famas, who is usually old and unscrupulous, rarely looks so serious like tonight.

"Let's go first, I'll talk to Mr. Zhongli about the room fee, and I'll see you later."

He found an excuse casually, and sent away the doubting Paimon and the hesitant Ying. Famas turned his head, his red pupils glistening with blood, like a lurking bird in the vast and boundless Guiliyuan. The ferocious beast was staring at Zhongli's back.
