The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 216: Immortal Traces and Honorable Titles

"Benefited from me?" Chen Tianfeng was puzzled: "What did Mr. Zhongli say?"

How could he not know that he had inadvertently helped Zhongli get an unexpected fortune?

"That was what happened when you 'died'. It's normal that you don't know."

Zhongli smiled kindly and explained, "After my friend's 'death', Miss Ye Lan began to deal with his belongings..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Tianfeng's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and ran to the backyard with a shovel in his hand.

"What's wrong with him?" Walnut was surprised.

You can't be planning to dig a hole and bury yourself, right? How can this be possible!

This kind of good thing should be left to her!
"Maybe I'm too happy." Zhongli smiled.

soon,

Chen Tianfeng came back with a dark face and looked at Zhongli: "Ye Lan gave you my small treasury?"

This is a waste!

He wondered why Zhongli was so generous all of a sudden, as if he had been possessed by someone else - it turned out that he was spending his money.

His money! His little stash of money that he had saved up with great difficulty!
Just like that, it's gone! Gone!

Zhongli smiled, and when he saw Chen Tianfeng's depressed expression, he felt a little happier. Then he became a little confused, and glanced at the Eye of God on his waist, and said, "I remember that you have a storage magic weapon, so why do you bury a box of Mora in the backyard?"

"Not one box, but two boxes."

Chen Tianfeng corrected him and said in a muffled voice: "Mora and the wine are not safe in my storage magic tool. Mr. Zhongli should know the reason. Over time, he has developed the habit of hiding money separately."

So what happened to the gods of Teyvat?

If Mora is placed in the Eye of God, the God of Wind will be attracted. However, if placed in a box alone, it will become a windfall for the God of Rock... Will this ever be any better?
"I see."

Zhongli understood. Since Wendy had given Chen Tianfeng the Eye of God, it was normal for that guy to leave some backdoors. He noticed Hu Tao's puzzled expression, thought about it, considered his words, and quietly explained the whole story to Hu Tao.

Successfully obtained satisfying and correct words such as the girl's whispered exclamations of "How could this be?", "That's too much", "What a guy who doesn't do his job properly", etc.

"By the way, I came to see you today for one more thing."

"Mr. Zhongli, please speak."

"I have completed the task my friend asked me to do not long ago."

Zhongli looked at him gently, and said softly, "Would you like to go take a look, young friend?"

"..."

Chen Tianfeng was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "Forget it, Mr. Zhongli never disappoints people, there is no need... Let's go and take a look, at least for a moment."

He paused halfway, changed his mind, said "wait a moment", turned around and went to the backyard, then went into the house and changed his clothes before coming out.

"Let's go, Mr. Zhongli."

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded, said a few words to Hu Tao, and was about to leave with Chen Tianfeng when he was stopped by Hu Tao again.

The girl opened her eyes and adjusted her Qiankun Tai Gua hat. Her reddish-brown ponytails swayed slightly. She looked at the two of them coquettishly. Her voice had the lightness of a girl and the quirkiness of a fairy. "I say, have you two forgotten something?"

"what?"

"My sack! My sack!"

Hu Tao's cheeks puffed up, and she folded her arms easily, without any resistance and effort: "Zhongli, you have eaten up the last delicious food in our yard. If you take my sack away again, I will starve to death!"

"..."

Zhongli opened his mouth and noticed the look of "I didn't expect you to be such a Mr. Zhongli" from Chen Tianfeng on the side. He felt helpless and amused, and sighed, "Master, there is no food in our courtyard, only some tea." So how can it be said that he "ate the last delicious food"?
"How could that be! I clearly saw you eat the last of the delicious little cake!"

Hu Tao was very sure of what he said, and he accused her, "Even when I called you and told you to leave one for me, you pretended you didn't hear me!"

"Wow, Mr. Zhongli is so cruel." Chen Tianfeng echoed at the right time.

"Yeah, yeah, I thought so too!" Hu Tao nodded vigorously.

"Why don't I remember this happening?"

Zhongli was puzzled and thought about it carefully, and had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Of course you don't remember." Hu Tao said as a matter of course: "This is what I dreamed about last night."

"...This is really too much. Mr. Zhongli actually treated Hall Master Hu like this in his dream!" Chen Tianfeng forced himself to agree.

Zhongli: "..."

Well, that was the case. So, he really couldn't handle this kid.

And... this dead snake must be sent away as soon as possible!

After some nonsense, the three of them first went to Zhongli's courtyard to put away the sack of Master Hu, and then went their separate ways. Hu Tao hummed a little tune and walked lightly to the Hall of Rebirth, while Chen Tianfeng and Zhongli walked towards Willow Street.

Willow Street has not changed much. There are still neighbors chatting under the big trees on the street. Most of them are elderly people. While taking a break, they tell stories to the rare quiet and well-behaved children beside them.

There were many stories, some happened earlier, some later, some true, some false, some long, some short. But no matter whether it was earlier or later, true or false, or long or short, they were all stories that the children had never heard of and were interested in. They listened with wide eyes and full of curiosity.

The elders enjoyed it so much that they chose stories about fairies, ghosts and monsters, and they did not forget to pass on their wisdom and life experience to the children while telling the stories.

Among the many children, a young boy stood out. Next to him was a kind-looking old woman, who held the boy's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that the boy would run away or disappear if she was not careful.

The looks that the neighbors gave the young man and the old woman were very strange. Some were emotional, some were gratified, some were surprised, or even envious.

Chen Tianfeng looked from afar, neither approaching nor planning to approach.

He looked at the grandparents and grandchildren who had reunited under the tree. He was silent for a long time, then he slowly exhaled, chuckled softly, and turned his gaze to Zhongli: "What reason did Mr. Zhongli use? The miracle of the Rock God?"

“It’s not a miracle.”

Zhongli shook his head and said, "The Rock God has passed away, and it is not appropriate for him to show miracles anymore, so I used the name of the Liyue Immortal. Well, it can be considered a miracle."

"I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Zhongli..." Chen Tianfeng pursed his lips, cupped his hands, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"You're welcome, little friend."

Zhongli's eyes were gentle, and he thought of something, and smiled, "Speaking of which, since the disaster was settled, there has been a call from the people to build a temple for you, but we don't know your honorific title, and the power transfer of the Seven Stars has not yet been stabilized, so it has been delayed."

"However, in the past few days, the people of Liyue have come up with a lot of honorific titles for you based on what they know and some conjectures. Would you like to listen to them?"

"What are they?" Chen Tianfeng was quite curious.

"The waves calm the sea, the demons are slain, the sea is restored, the trees bloom in spring..."

Zhongli listed dozens of immortal names in one breath, and finally paused, saying: "Also, the people of Liyue believe that you are a good friend of the Rock King Emperor, and your honorific title should be similar to [Rock King Emperor]. You should not address him as [True Lord], but [Emperor]. Also, thinking that if you can repel or even kill the Whirlpool Demon, you will definitely be able to dominate the ocean, so..."

"So what?"

Chen Tianfeng blinked, and suddenly he felt something was wrong.

"so……"

Zhongli's expression was a little strange, as if he was trying to hold back a smile, and he said, "There are a few people who respectfully address you as... [Emperor of the Sea]."

Chen Tianfeng: “…Ah?”
