Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Liyue Harbor was bustling with people, and everyone had a smile on their face, which made the place less bleak than it was half a month ago.

"It's a good rain. It looks like we'll have a good harvest this year."

"Yes, God bless us, we don't have much food left. I hope there won't be any disasters this year, otherwise we will be doomed."

"..."

People were whispering and smiling, celebrating the "sweet rain".

Xixiang walked among the crowd, and everyone thought he was just an ordinary Liyue citizen.

This is just a simple illusion.

Saigo didn't want to cause any sensation, he just wanted to feel the atmosphere of the city.

However, he was also a little surprised that Ganyu also used illusion to conceal her appearance and clothes. This illusion was not given to her by Xixiang, but she used it herself.

Ganyu's fairy-like clothes are incompatible with the coarse linen clothes worn by many people in Liyue Harbor.

If she came here in her original appearance, people would definitely know how different she was.

Seeing this, Saigo seemed to be thinking deeply. Ganyu's behavior undoubtedly proved that this girl was not in contact with humans for the first time. It was just that she did not contact them as Ganyu, but in a different identity.

Perhaps wearing a mask like this can make her feel a little more at ease.

Liyue Harbor is still under construction now. It is in chaos without any divisions. Everyone just finds a place to settle down.

At this moment, an old lady's voice came, with a tone of surprise: "¨"...Xiaomei, it turns out that you are safe and sound, that's great!"

"...I have been looking for you since I came here, but I couldn't find you. I thought you were also killed."

"It's great to see you're okay now."

A white-haired old lady spoke with emotion and tears in her eyes. She was very excited to see Ganyu. She took a few quick steps with her old body, held Ganyu's hand, and spoke with tears in her eyes.

"Grandma Su, I hope you...are safe and sound."

Seeing this old lady, Ganyu was also a little excited.

"I am an old woman with a healthy body and the help of my neighbors and fellow villagers, so I was able to walk through Tianheng Mountain..."

"...Alas, I have lived in Guiliji (Zhao Wang Zhao) all my life, and now I have to leave my hometown at this age."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. I'm relieved to see that you're okay. Hey, who is this? Are you Xiaomei's elder?"

The old lady then noticed Xixiang beside Ganyu. Because of the illusion, Xixiang was just an ordinary person in the eyes of the old lady.

Just as Ganyu was hesitating about how to introduce her, Xixiang casually said, "...I'm her father."

"So you are the head of the Wang family. Your daughter is clever, gentle and kind. She will definitely be married to a good family in the future."

"...Hey, stop standing outside and talking. Come into my humble abode and have a seat. Although I don't have much to offer you, I can still provide you with some hot water."

The old lady greeted warmly.

Xi Xiang complained in his heart, Wang Xiaomei? What a country girl name. Now that I'm your father, should I call you Wang Ermaizi?

Gan Yu blushed and said, "... Dad... Dad, why don't you come in and sit down for a while?" Lu.

Chapter 11: Twisted Love for Humanity

Walk into the house.

Or rather, this cannot even be called a house, it's just a thatched hut.

Today, Liyue Harbor is newly built, and all residents live in thatched houses like this and live a hard life.

The old man surnamed Su was burning a porcelain pot with firewood in his house, and the water in the pot was bubbling.

After the water in the pot boiled completely, she carefully took out a porcelain jar from the corner, which was filled with some fine powder like tea leaves.

After staying in Liyue Harbor for half a month, Xixiang also realized that these teas were actually the fruits of some plants.

Under normal circumstances, it should be cooked so that it tastes better when consumed.

In the past, before the outbreak of the Demon War, drinking and selling tea was also a way of making a living.

However, the people of Liyue are living in poverty nowadays and do not have the time to enjoy such things.

Ordinary people just brew and drink the picked tea leaves. Although they are bitter, they can still give the tongue a taste.

"The house is simple, and we only have the tea leaves we brought from Guiliji to entertain our guests. I hope you don't mind."

The old man brought two bowls of tea and said with a smile.

"Everyone's life is hard nowadays, it's good to have a cup of tea like this."

Saigo smiled, picked up the tea, blew away the foam on it, and then took a sip.

The tea tasted terrible. When he was in the bloodthirsty world, he relied on Nangong Nayue's allowance 767 to eat and drink well.

In the World Tree game, Saigo had everything, and as long as he wanted, his subordinates would give him everything.

Although this light tea tastes bad, it embodies the tenacity and determination of the common people who have overcome difficulties to build their homes and create civilization.

So although tea is bitter, it also leaves a long aftertaste.

Ganyu looked at Xixiang nervously, thinking that this demon god would not be used to drinking the food of ordinary people.

But seeing that Saigo looked normal, she was finally relieved.

"My little Mei has been taken care of by you, old man. I am very grateful."

Xixiang spoke casually, trying to find topics to talk about with the old man, which was also a way to integrate himself into Liyue Harbor as much as possible.

Saigo didn't like to just watch indifferently like an outsider after arriving in a new world. He preferred to integrate himself into it.

Hearing Xixiang calling her "Wang Xiaomei", Ganyu hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

"No, it's Xiaomei who has been taking care of the old lady."

The old man smiled and began to talk about the past, while Xixiang drank the bad-tasting tea and listened with a smile.

Maybe it’s because they are old, they just like to talk a lot.

She said a lot in one breath, mostly her own story.

The old lady's son was once a member of the Thousand Rocks Group, but died fighting against other demon gods' followers during the Demon God War.

The daughter-in-law fell seriously ill due to heartbreak and died soon after.

She raised her grandson alone, and when he grew up, he joined the Thousand Rocks Group and eventually died on the battlefield like his father.

This can be considered a family of loyal heroes.

The old lady was the only one left in the family, and it could be said that she was completely childless. The Qianyan Group took good care of her and ensured that she had no shortage of food, clothing, or other daily necessities.

However, when people get older, they don’t demand much for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but instead become more lonely.

It was also at this time that the old lady met Ganyu, and Ganyu often came here to help her with some housework or chat with her.

"Ah, this man likes to tell these old stories when he is old. I am sorry to make you laugh."

"…The little beauty is kind-hearted and beautiful, I wonder if you can marry her? I have an old friend who has a good relationship with me. Her great-grandson is handsome and is now a reserve member of the Qianyan Group."

"If Xiaomei hasn't promised to marry someone, I can help her find a partner."

I guess all old people like to be matchmakers. The old lady's face was full of excitement when she heard about matchmaking.

Xi Xiang smiled and said, "...My daughter is still young, it's not time for her to get married yet."

Gan Yu blushed and said quickly: "...Grandma Su, I, I don't want to get married...My father is the only one in my family, and I want to take care of him for the rest of my life."

In a hurry, Ganyu's mind worked quickly and he immediately thought of a good excuse.

Although the old lady felt sorry, she didn't say anything. She just smiled and said, "...Xiaomei is a filial girl."

"...Alas, I don't care about anything anymore. I just don't know when this war will end."

Ganyu somehow remembered what Saigo said not long ago (ciff) that the war was about to end, and she said: "...I think the war should be over soon."

“…The Emperor has called his old friend, the Demon Lord, who is very powerful. He will definitely protect Liyue and lead Liyue to victory.”

As she said this, Ganyu secretly glanced at Xixiang.

The old lady smiled and said, "...Yes, Xiaomei, you are right. The war is about to end. It must be over soon."

The old woman didn’t know whether the war was really going to end, but she hoped that it would end soon.

The two sides chatted for a while, and Saigo found an excuse to leave.

The old woman sent Xixiang and Ganyu out of the hut, and kept asking Ganyu to come and see her when she was free.

After leaving the thatched hut and walking in the bustling Liyue Harbor, Ganyu felt too embarrassed to speak a word.

Instead, Xi Xiang glanced at her and said teasingly, "...Wang Xiaomei?"

Ganyu blushed slightly, and stammered, "...This is just a temporary measure. I just said this name casually at the time. Lord Zaratul, please don't laugh at me."

"Don't worry, I won't make fun of others casually, Wang Xiaomei."

Saigo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Well……"

Ganyu felt embarrassed, and the aho hair between her horns trembled.

"It seems that you are still willing to contact humans, but you are hesitant about your half-human, half-immortal identity and dare not contact humans with your true face. That's why you use an avatar and an alias, right?"

Saigo said with a smile.

Gan Yu nodded slightly and said, "...The Emperor said that as a bridge between humans and immortals, I should enter human society."

"…But…I still don't dare. I'm afraid that people won't accept my appearance. That's why I mustered up the courage to try this method to get in touch with everyone first."

Xi Xiang smiled and said, "...You always say the emperor says, the emperor says... Forget it, it's a habit I can't change in a short time since I was a child."

"...But you are willing to acknowledge the human part of yourself and to interact with humans. This is already progress. You are much braver than I thought, Ganyu."

Ganyu was a little embarrassed, but when Xixiang praised her, a shy and gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Saigo asked, "...what do you want to say to me?"

Ganyu took a deep breath and said, "...Sir, you are much gentler than I thought."

Saigo chuckled and said, "...Am I that scary?"

Ganyu really wanted to nod in agreement. As a demon of chaos, Xixiang's existence was the enemy of all living things. Even if he did not show any malice, he was still feared.

But Ganyu still didn't dare to say it.

"The Demon God's lover. Morax and I are both Demon Gods, so naturally we are lovers."

Saigo was secretly complaining while saying this.

He is one of the final trials for mankind. His love is probably waiting for mankind to overcome this trial, or to be destroyed under his trial.

Even though this love is twisted, it is still love.

At this moment, a tall and mature figure appeared in front of him. After seeing her, Ganyu said happily: "...It's Gechen Langshi Zhenjun!"

Chapter 12: The Salt Demon

Walking towards Xixiang and Ganyu was a slim woman with blue hair who looked like an immortal.

She was heroic and had a bell hanging around her waist that jingled when she walked. She looked beautiful and gentle.

"Gan Yu!"

When Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun saw Ganyu, a smile appeared on her pretty face, like a mature older sister.

However, after seeing Xixiang beside Ganyu, Gechen Langshi Zhenjun was stunned for a moment. She quickly tidied her clothes and said respectfully: "-...Sir!"

Xi Xiang nodded slightly, he looked at Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun for a while, and then said to Gan Yu who was leaning against him: "...Since an acquaintance is here, you should go back with her."

"...I know you are not used to the life in this world yet, so just return to nature and live the life of an immortal first."

Ganyu felt reluctant to see Xixiang leave, and couldn't help asking, "...Where are you going?"

"Me? I'll go to this land of Liyue and look for other demon gods. If I meet one or two, I'll kill them."

Saigo's tone was indifferent, but his attitude was arrogant, as if the demon was nothing.

He does have such power. Even his current chaotic spiritual energy is enough for him to fight against any demon in this world.
