The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 222 Ranking in the Heart
"Ms. Ganyu means that if I, Inazuma, invite that otherworldly god to come, I must pay him an equal reward."

Yae Shinko looked a little surprised, his gaze moved to Ganyu, his hands folded on his knees, wanting to ask her if she was serious.

How does this make sense? How can you ask for compensation from someone who helps you solve a problem?

Asking that person to go to Inazuma would be a win-win situation for both Inazuma and Liyue. How can Liyue still ask for compensation from Inazuma?
Could it be that the Rock God was reluctant to let him leave Liyue?

Should we say that he is worthy of being one of the oldest demon gods?
The Eightfold Son of God lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup and took a sip. For a moment, he wanted to leave Liyue and go find the otherworldly god alone to invite him to be a guest in Inazuma.

But in just a moment, he decisively gave up the idea.

Because it's impossible.

In the kingdom of Rock God, trying to bypass Rock God and achieve one's own plan may be more difficult than taking a blow from General Raiden in a duel in front of the emperor.

The Rock God has many ways to prevent himself from seeing Him.

Although there are rumors that the Rock King Emperor has passed away, he still resisted foreign enemies and died of exhaustion after killing three demons in a row. It sounds reasonable...but the real leaders and senior officials of each country are fools if they believe it.

Not to mention that the person in front of him was the messenger of the God of Rock, the mere fact that the grand scene of the god's passing was a wind that blessed all people was enough to show that something was strange... Wind?

Yae Shinko paused, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Ganyu thoughtfully: "During the time when Inazuma was locked up in the country, it seems that I missed a lot of things. Miss Ganyu, I heard that Mondstadt sent out an expeditionary force, and now the internal strength is empty, is it true?"

"good."

Ganyu nodded. Although she had not figured out why the Eightfold Son of God suddenly asked this, these things were not confidential and there was no need to hide them.

"It's really like that. The Knights of Favonius must be having a hard time these days." Yae Shinko put down the cup, sighed, and said unintentionally, "It's a pity that Inazuma is too far away from Mondstadt. It's not like Liyue, which is adjacent to Mondstadt, and is also following the general's order to close the country. Otherwise, I would definitely help."

"It's great that Miss Yae has this thought. When Captain Qin knows about it, he will thank Miss Yae."

"Inazuma is isolated overseas and locked up in the country. What I said was just empty talk. Miss Ganyu, please don't tease me. Even if Captain Qin wants to thank someone, the one who should be thanked should be Liyue who has helped so much."

Yae God said this with a smile, and at the same time secretly paid attention to Ganyu's expression. Seeing that she just smiled but did not deny it too much, he understood in his heart.

Mondstadt and Liyue actually formed an alliance... or rather, the Wind God and the Rock God, the two most ancient demon gods, reached some kind of agreement in secret. So when the Rock God passed away, a wind of blessing appeared that blew across all of Liyue.

In addition, the God of Geo did not seem to regard the alien god as a trouble, and his whereabouts were from Mondstadt to Liyue, so... this agreement was related to the alien god.

The Eightfold Son of God smelled the breath of impending storm, and the sense of urgency in his heart increased.

The storm in Teyvat is imminent. No matter what, Ying can no longer hide in the Pure Land... Her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked up at Ganyu. Her smile faded, and her expression was serious: "Please tell me the conditions of Liyue, Miss Ganyu."

"It's very simple."

Ganyu smiled, her eyes meeting those of the Eightfold God Child: "Inazuma's lockdown order came too suddenly, and some of the people of Liyue are trapped in Inazuma. We hope that Inazuma can let the people of Liyue return home as soon as possible."

The Inazuma isolation order is Inazuma's business. Inazuma's god wants to torment her own people, and Liyue has no control over it, nor does it want to intervene. However, since it has put Liyue's people in trouble, Liyue can no longer sit idly by.

"……I see."

The Eightfold God Child took a light breath, lowered his eyes, and quickly raised them again: "I can guarantee that as long as that being arrives in Inazuma, I will do my best to persuade the General. Even if the lockdown order cannot be lifted, I will be able to allow the trapped Liyue wanderers to return home."

"Then thank you in advance, Miss Yae."

"Where it should be."

Yae Shenzi paused, curled the corners of his lips slightly, blinked at Ganyu, and smiled again: "So, have we finished talking about business, Sister Ganyu? Would you like to try the sea ganoderma that I brought?"

…"Tian Feng! Hurry up, hurry up! We're going to be late!"

"How are you late? The appointment time is noon, and it's just dawn now, okay?"

"But if you go earlier, you can eat more!"

"Then if you leave a little later, you can eat more, Paimon."

"Eh? That's right."

The little mascot scratched his hair and let go of Chen Tianfeng's clothes.

"Really? So let me sleep a little longer."

Chen Tianfeng waved his hands, yawned, lay back in the rocking chair, and closed his eyes again.

"What did you do yesterday? Why are you so sleepy?"

Paimon glanced at the already bright sky with a puzzled expression.

"What are you talking about? I've been so sleepy the whole time." Chen Tianfeng's voice was full of sleepiness, as if he could fall into a deep sleep in the next moment.

"That's right."

Paimeng nodded, thinking back to how Chen Tianfeng had been in Liyue Harbor these days, and he felt the same way: "Tianfeng, you've become so lazy."

"What are you talking about... Forget it, why would I bother with a little thing like you?"

Chen Tianfeng was no longer sleepy and opened his eyes, "Where's Ying? Why isn't she with you?"

"Ying went to buy breakfast. She said she wanted to eat something light in the morning, and the fish porridge at the middle section of Huyan would be the best choice."

"How is fish porridge light? No, since Ying went to buy breakfast, why did you wake me up in such a hurry?"

"Of course I'm worried that you've been sleeping too long!"

The little mascot puffed out his chest and said confidently: "You said that in your original world, there was a time when you just wanted to take a nap, but when you opened your eyes, five whole years had passed!"

Five years. If Tian Feng sleeps for another five years, no, even for five days or one day, then she won’t be able to eat at Liuliting today.

Paimeng rolled his eyes, imitating Chen Tianfeng's behavior, trying to make his eyes look sincere, and his voice unconsciously clamped: "I am concerned about you, Tianfeng."

Chen Tianfeng glanced at her and sneered, "Oh, all you care about is your feast."

“Hehe… you found out.” Paimeng smiled foolishly, and suddenly thought of something, and quickly assured: “Don’t worry, Tianfeng. In my heart, you are at least third, no, fourth!”

"...I think, if you're not the first one, it's better not to say this."

Chen Tianfeng smiled and shook his head. He realized something, stood up and walked towards the gate, and asked casually: "Then what are the top three in Paimeng's mind?"

"The first one is of course Ying!"

Paimon answered without hesitation, then smiled sheepishly, "Second and third are of course Delicious and Mora, they are evenly matched!"
