Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 241 Zhongli's Smart Strategy

"There are generals who have lived for a thousand years... It is not uncommon."

Zhongli put down the teacup slowly, put the hair on the right sideburn behind his ear, and with the palm of his other hand down, quickly constructed a portrait in his hand with supernatural power, pretending to smile mysteriously at Walnut.

"Where? Where? Mr. Zhongli! Do you know the general of Munata?"

Hearing Zhongli's words, Hu Tao jumped onto the table excitedly, grabbed Zhongli's shoulder with her small hands painted with black nail polish, and shook it vigorously, almost shaking Dijun's brains.

"Snapped."

The scroll that Zhongli was holding in his hand also fell to the ground.

"Eh?"

Hu Tao's movements froze, she looked up at Zhongli who had a serious expression, jumped onto the wooden case, quickly picked up the picture scroll on the ground, and held it tightly to her chest.

"You... open it and have a look."

Zhong Li, who had expected it for a long time, grabbed the teacup on the table in a daze, took a step back with the tea, and avoided the risk of being hit by a walnut.

"hey-hey."

Sticking out her tongue embarrassingly, Hu Tao carefully unfolded the picture scroll she got from Zhongli.

On the yellowed scroll deliberately made old by Zhongli, there was a vivid depiction of a young man covered in bright red armor.

The person in the painting glows with golden and red flame lines from his wrists, winding up into the breastplate that sinks into the young man's chest, and soft sparks escape from the dazzling lines, floating around him like stars arching the moon generally.

Behind the young man is a doomsday scene of frantic flames and surging sea of ​​flames.

It was Famas at the center of the battlefield.

Due to the heavy armor, Hu Tao couldn't see the face of the person in the painting. He could only judge from the red eyes exposed in the gap of the helmet that this person was still very young.

"Mr. Zhongli, is this person the general of Munata?"

Walnut asked subconsciously.

"good."

"The best way to bring those Munata to rest in peace is to get their general back."

Zhongli nodded, put down the teacup, embraced with both hands, the slightly sharp golden pupils were hidden, and there was a subtle softness in the whole person.

"Wow, Mr. Zhongli is secretly hiding such a good thing!"

Hu Tao clenched her fists and raised her small mouth high.

Ever since Master Hu could remember, her grandfather had been looking for a solution to the souls of the Munata people, and Mr. Zhongli, who was a guest, naturally knew about it.

There is such an important clue as the portrait, but it is only now revealed.

"Forgot earlier."

"Liyue is the place where thousands of sails gather. Just ask around, and there should be some clues about the person in the painting..."

Zhong Li coughed lightly, and just about to say something more, Hu Tao had already rushed out of the Rebirth Hall with the portrait in his arms, and broke into the vast night, as if he really wanted to find this "general" in Liyue.

"I haven't finished yet..."

Dijun opened his mouth in embarrassment, but Hu Tao had already disappeared, leaving only a burst of strong plum fragrance in place.

Zhongli's stiff body finally relaxed.

Although it was a bit unexpected, fortunately, everything is going according to my own ideas, and Walnut should not disturb my retirement life for a long time.

Regardless of whether Hall Master Hu can find Farmas through the portrait, even if he encounters him by mistake, the eccentric Walnut will persuade Farmas to go to the junction of life and death to solve the problem.

And the gate of the place where life and death meet can only be opened at night, and Farmas can no longer occupy his room to sleep.

The soul waiting for a thousand years, Famas who is making troubles everywhere, and walnuts that are troublesome, three problems are solved at the same time.

The emperor, who was out of trouble, picked up the cup of tea with a smile, his gold-leaf eyes flashed with relief, and he took a sip of the tea that had lost its temperature as if he was relieved.

The cup is just cold ordinary rock tea, but to Zhongli's taste, it seems to be freshly roasted Qingcezhuang young leaves.

"It's time to go to Northland Bank."

After confirming that Walnut would not return to the Hall of Rebirth, Zhongli moved lightly. Without alarming Famas, he quietly sneaked back to the room on the second floor, packed the bath balls with the fragrance of neon clothes and the bath towels he used on a daily basis, Sneakily walked in the direction of Beiguo Bank.

As the largest store opened in Liyue in Zhidong Kingdom, Beiguo Bank also has extremely luxurious VIP rooms. Unlike the wooden barrels commonly used by Liyue people, the bathroom of Beiguo Bank is equipped with a pure white ceramic bathtub.

It is said that it was designed and supervised by Pantalone, the executive of fools who love pleasure.

And this is also Zhongli's favorite moment in his retirement life. Soaking in the warm water, he doesn't need to worry about those mundane trivial matters, he can let his mind go and don't think about anything, and lie down in a daze until the water completely cools down for a few minutes. climb out.

Milky white foam, warm and comfortable water temperature, relaxed muscles and bones, and a wet and hot white towel on the face.

The most important thing is that there is no need to worry about the shortage of Mora. Dadalia has already informed Yekaterina, the person in charge of Beiguo Bank, that as long as it is Mr. Zhongli's expenses, all of them will be charged to his account.

Dijun happily went to the Northland Bank to take a bath. During the brigade, Ying and Paimeng, who had talked about the future, had already fallen asleep. Famas in the Hall of Rebirth always felt that something was calling him from the depths of the earth. As soon as the pillow covered his head, the call died away.

At dawn the next day, Ying opened her eyes in a daze. After taking a few deep breaths, she found that her chest was unusually heavy. When she lifted her little hand by her side, she just touched Pimon's little furry head.

"Well……"

Feel Ying's touch.

Ying got up and took a shower.

Although the big bed is very comfortable, it's a pity that today's work still needs to be done, to find the grandma Ping that Zhongli was talking about.

Grandma Ping is beside the stairs of Yujing Terrace, and usually earns her living by selling some tea to tourists visiting Yujing Terrace.

"Ying, how should we contact Famas?"

A few minutes later, the sober Paimeng flew to Ying, who was washing her face, and asked with her little hand behind her buttocks.

"Famas...should have stayed in the Hall of Rebirth last night, right?"

Ying wrung out the towel vigorously with both hands, hung it up and returned to the bedroom and opened the curtains, the bright sunlight shone on the messy big bed.

"What time is it now?!"

Stretch out your fingers to block the glare of the sun, and the rays of light leaking from between your fingers remind Ying that it seems that it is getting late for them to wake up.

"Hmm... Judging from the position of the sun, it's almost noon now..."

Paimon shook his head to remind him of the time, and before he finished speaking, he was dragged out by the anxious blond girl.

"this late!"

"Perhaps Famas is waiting for us at Yujing Terrace!"
