Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 296 No one knows the emperor better than me
After Dardalya left, the smile on Zhongli's face gradually disappeared. He glanced at the walnut repaired Ruo Tuo sculpture, ignored the certificate left by the orange-haired youth, and left his room gently.

"Master Hu, are you awake?"

After leaving the room, Zhong Li came to the door of Hu Tao's room with red plums, and tapped lightly with his fingers.

After a long time of no response, Mr. Zhong pushed open the half-closed door.

Walnut is still asleep at the moment, but his posture has changed.

Originally, she was lying on her left side with the quilt clamped, but now she was lying on her right side.

Walnut, who is eccentric on weekdays, looks quite quiet after sleeping, with brown-red hair hanging loose, slender eyelashes trembling with the frequency of breathing, small mouth slightly opened, white arms tightly hugging the bedding, black nails Quite a stark contrast to the sheets.

After confirming that Hu Tao was not awakened by the movement just now, Zhong Li turned around and was about to leave, but he looked at her white thighs exposed outside the quilt, and still couldn't hold back, walked to the bed, grabbed Hu Tao's ankle, and moved away from the girl who was pressing her. The quilt she was living in covered her body again, and the corners of the quilt were tucked in hard.

After wrapping the sleeping walnut like a big rice dumpling, Zhongli nodded in satisfaction and left leisurely.

The air outside the Pastoral Hall was a bit cold, and Mr. Zhong, who was in a good mood, was walking on the street when he suddenly remembered the girl named Yunjin who sang a long play called "Return to Lichen" a few days ago, although the plot was all edited. But when Yun Jin flicked up her pale pink sleeves, Zhong Li thought of the girl who jumped in front of him thousands of years ago.

I went to Yujing Terrace, but Grandma Ping was not here. There was only the pot and half cup of hot tea wrapped in fairy power that I used often.

Zhenjun Gechenlang City, also known as Grandma Ping in the world, without her, the Liuli Lily would have been extinct long ago.

Immortals either show their real bodies in animal form, or turn into young human beings. They rarely let time sculpt like Grandma Ping.

Zhong Li can probably guess the reason, but he can't do anything about it.

It was indeed his fault that he died in the end, because he was too obsessed with killing monsters by the sea.

By the end of the war, the power of the abyss had eroded the body of the final god, and the immortals didn't even see the attacker clearly, only knowing that it was the charge from the Munata camp.

But Famas firmly denied the matter, and the anger after being misunderstood did not seem to be fake, which made Zhongli feel that his death was strange after all.

On the battlefield at that time, who had the ability to assassinate a god?
Zhong Li picked up the hot tea left by Grandma Ping, drank it all in one gulp, then walked slowly to the downtown area, walked along the red-painted railing, and climbed up to the second floor of Heyu Teahouse.

Famas, who had just returned from Yuehai Pavilion, sat at the tea table by the window, as if he had been waiting for Zhongli for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, here are two cups of weak tea and a plate of food."

Zhongli sat down familiarly, and the sharp-eyed shopkeeper immediately asked Xiaoer to serve tea.

He can recognize this Mr. Ke Qing from the Past Life Hall, who is famously rich and powerful. Although he mostly keeps accounts on weekdays, he has a good reputation.

What's more, Zhongli also has an unclear relationship with the executive officers of the Fools.

Liyue's temperament is much more open than that of Zhidong, and Zhongli has a handsome face, and the executive officer of the fools is quite in line with the girls' fantasy, and there are many rumors about the two of them.

The young master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce even sent someone to draw a few shady picture books, which were sold privately to those girls who were pregnant with spring.

The tea and snacks were served quickly, and Famas and Lord Yan sat quietly for a while, watching the bustling teahouse and the beautiful scenery outside the window, and the time flowed slowly.

Today's Liyue Port seems to be extremely cold, few sparrows landed on the eaves, and even the crickets were silenced by the cold.

"You are at Yuehai Pavilion today, didn't you say that you are looking for me?"

Zhong Li stretched out his hand to hold the teacup, took a sip, and then spoke calmly.

"I'll just say it casually, and you also eavesdrop on these words?"

Famas curled his lips in disgust.

"As long as I'm in Liyue Realm, I can hear anyone talking."

Zhong Li shook his head lightly, seeing that Famas didn't respond, he shifted his attention to Liu Su, the storyteller in the teahouse.

"The emperor performed miracles, cut out a long knife handle from the pure to impurity-free golden amber, swiped the sword to chop a corner of the mountain, and made a solemn contract with the people: scattered people will gather together return; those who break the contract must be punished..."

"Breaking the contract is an enemy of this land. Sooner or later, the mountain peak cut off by the emperor will land on the head of the breaker."

Liu Su got excited and knocked the gavel on the table, and the whole house burst into applause and applause.

Zhong Li, who was holding a teacup, also nodded, obviously agreeing with Liu Su's statement.

Only Farmas worked hard to eat the cakes on the plate, as if he was determined to make Zhongli poor.

"Your Excellency, the son of Beiguo Bank... just gave me 1000 million moras as a reward."

Zhong Li turned his face to look at the young man in red who was eating pastries.

"Did you bring it?"

Famas asked back, seeing Zhongli's hand stiff in mid-air, the young man grinned triumphantly, asked the waiter at Heyu Teahouse to serve some more tea, and ordered a few plates of delicate pastries.

Anyway, there is Zhong Li, a rich man, here, so open up and eat and it's over.

"Hmph, Emperor Yan said he is the god of contracts, but in fact he has personally violated many agreements in order to rule."

At this time, a Sumeru sitting at the next table pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke mockingly.

Zhongli and Famas turned their heads at the same time, looking at the young man who spoke rudely.

It's just that Zhongli, who is the person involved, has a serious expression, while Famas smiles kindly.

It was rare to meet someone in Liyue Port who didn't like what the Rock God did, and the young man in red asked with interest: "Then my friend, as far as you know, what agreement did the Emperor Rock King deviate from?"

Hearing the conversation of Famas at the next table, this young man from Sumeru was very arrogant at first, putting on a knowledgeable airs, looking back after seeing the exquisite pastries and expensive tea on the table of Zhongli and Famas , immediately changed his expression, eagerly pulled his partner at the same table, and sat down at their table.

"Two gentlemen, we are study tour scholars from Sumeru Academy. I didn't expect to find someone interested in Yanshen's breach of contract in Liyue."

The young scholar talked excitedly, and Zhong Li waved his hand to ask Xiao Er to add two more cups of tea.

"You don't know, don't you, the Emperor Yan Wang was so heroic back then, many women fell in love with him, and the most eager one was the end of the god of dust."

"It's the demon god who created Guiliyuan, the Emperor Yanwang once made an oath to become a partner with the dust god Guijie, and rule Guiliji together."

"But the militant Rock God spread the war to the south of Tianheng Mountain, which is where we are now in Liyue Port, and the Dust God, who was left alone in Guiliji, fell in the catastrophic chaos and cruel massacre. None remained."

"Abandoning one's partner for the sake of a small piece of land, is this the so-called god of contract?"

Scholar Sumeru’s explanation became louder and louder, and the tea drinkers who were listening to the storytelling around him were also attracted by his voice. Although there were mixed praises and criticisms, they all sighed with emotion. It turns out that there is a companionship between demons and gods like ordinary people.

Famas nodded frequently when he heard this, almost laughed out loud, and kept hinting at Zhongli with his eyes.

"Ahem...I don't agree with these things."

After holding back for a long time, Zhongli finally spoke.

All the tea guests at the same table focused their eyes on Zhongli, and many people sitting next to him also pricked up their ears.

"Not to mention whether Yan Shen abandoned his friends in order to fight for land... The so-called partner refers to like-minded companions that he has come into contact with over the long years."

"Working hard for a common goal is the original intention of the emperor. Presumably that fairy also regards the emperor as an ordinary friend. Your Excellency's statement is just a rumor that misleads the truth."

After hearing Zhongli's explanation, the tea guests who gathered around talked a lot, and the familiar tea guests had already recognized the Jinpo man who spoke, it was Zhongli, the guest minister of Xiangshengtang.

"Uh... I think the story of this Xumi scholar is very real, but Mr. Zhongli, without evidence, just thinks so much about Lord Qingyan's charm and means?"

The tea drinkers who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement asked back.

"No, my statement does not contain praise or criticism, but a statement of some kind of fact."

Zhong Li waved his hand to clarify to everyone.

Unexpectedly, the Xumi scholar who led the conversation gave a disdainful smile, and waved his hand at Zhongli: "Come on, I have studied countless textual researches about Liyue in the Academy of Teaching Orders. Do you understand the rock king Dijun or I understand Dijun?"

Famas, who was smiling and hugging the teacup, was so happy that he almost threw the cup in his hand.

"I only know a little bit about historical emotions. How dare I claim to know everything."

Zhongli replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Scholar Sumi, who held the opposite opinion, just wanted to speak, but the tea guests onlookers were already talking about it, which caused Liu Su on the stage to cough several times, trying to draw the guests' attention back to himself.

Taking advantage of the buzz in the teahouse, Famas hurriedly pulled Zhongli away, preparing to leave Heyu Teahouse quietly.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhongli, who didn't respond, asked in surprise.

"Why don't you just sit there until night and wait for Dadalia to pay?"

Without looking back, Famas dragged Zhong away and ran into the market.

Life goal: take Zhong away from free food and drink.

Completed!
