Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

"…This Yaksha is not to the point where I have to kill him."

Saigo chuckled, his tone leisurely yet with a hint of arrogance.

However, others did not think there was anything wrong with what Saigo said. Even the powerful demon god was like a chicken or a dog in front of Saigo, and a Yaksha was no different from an ant in Saigo's eyes.

Precisely because he is too weak, Saigo does not care about his life or death.

If the enemy was really that powerful and could fight with Saigo for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner, Saigo would definitely kill him directly if he had the chance, without leaving any trouble behind.

But Yaksha Jinpeng obviously does not have that qualification.

After hearing what Saigo said, all the Yakshas breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Jin Peng had survived.

The Yakshas are brave and fight fiercely, but it is precisely because of this fighting style that the Yakshas always suffer heavy casualties and the race’s population has been declining.

Therefore, they all hope that Jin Peng, such a powerful fellow, can survive.

Of course, Yaksha Jinpeng did not really fall. Instead, he had been fighting against the influence of the devil on him.

If this Yaksha really committed depravity and caused killing, Saigo wouldn't even have to do anything, the Yakshas would clean up their own mess.

"But it's no use asking me. You should ask this Yaksha."

"...I think he has the intention to die. If he is unwilling to pay for his crime and instead seeks death, then no one can be blamed."

Saigo's words made the Yakshas tense again.

They looked at Jin Peng, hoping that their compatriot would not really seek death.

"My hands are stained with blood and I am entangled in the karma of killing. I have killed countless immortal beasts and humans. Some of these immortal beasts and humans still have relatives alive."

"…If you knew I was not dead, I'm afraid you would feel hatred for me."

Under the gazes of many of his fellow tribesmen, Jin Peng opened his mouth and uttered these words.

His voice was hoarse and weak, which showed that his body was extremely weak.

Jin Peng raised his head and looked at Xixiang, with gratitude and fear in his eyes.

Jin Peng was grateful to Xixiang for rescuing him from the devil, so that he no longer had to become a killing tool.

What frightened him was that he could still vividly remember how Saigo had killed the demon with one move and knocked him out with one slap. Just thinking about it made him terrified.

"If you choose death because of this, it would be a cowardly act..."

"…If you want to atone for your sins, you should live on. Death is an escape. Yakshas are brave and resolute. If you choose this path, you will only be laughed at by your tribe."

"If you are worried that hatred will never end, then you will live with a mask for the next thousand years."

"...From today on, Yasha Jinpeng is dead. You will now be called... 'Xiao'."

Morax thought about it and gave Jin Peng a name. The new name means rebirth, which means Jin Peng will forget everything in the past and live another life as Xiao.

"If you agree, you will sign a contract with me and protect Liyue for a thousand years. You will continue to fight the Shadow of the Demon God to atone for your sins."

Morax said succinctly.

Morax obviously knew a lot about the Yaksha race, and just a few words from him made Jin Peng's heart moved. As a Yaksha, the last thing he wanted was to be called cowardly and incompetent.

Jin Peng took a deep breath, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xi Xiang and Morax, and said in a weak voice: "...Jin Peng, no, Xiao is willing to sign the contract and work like an ox or a horse under the command of the Emperor!"

The other four Yakshas were delighted to see that their powerful kin had survived. They all knelt down and said, “…Fushe (Yingda, Fanan, and Mi Nu) are also willing to work with Xiao to eliminate the evil spirits and protect the peace of Liyue!”

At this point, the five Yakshas returned to their positions to protect Liyue. People in later generations called them the "Immortal Yakshas".

Chapter 37: Under the Rain, I Want to Taste

"It is a blessing in disguise to have such an ending."

At this time, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun came to Xixiang and Morax, and seeing the happy looks of the Yakshas, ​​she was also happy in her heart.

"Are you happy, Ping'er?"

Saigo turned his head and looked at the tall and plump fairy girl beside him, who had the maturity of a beautiful woman and the agility of a girl, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I am happy. During this period of the Demon God War, I have seen too many tragedies. Now that the war is over, the tragedies are finally gone. Of course, I am happy."

After a pause, Gechen Langshi Zhenjun explained again: "...I am not happy for Xiao. In the past, he and I were enemies, not friends, and we were not familiar with each other."

"…I'm just happy for the other Yakshas."

Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun is also a man of temperament. He says whatever he thinks and never hides his inner thoughts.

Saigo shook his head and said calmly: "...Although the war is over, the tragedy is still there. It is the existence of tragedy that gives happiness meaning."

"…But compared to tragedy, it was more like drama."

“No matter how difficult the struggle for happiness is, it is not pain but joy, it is not tragedy but drama.”

Although Xixiang's words were philosophical, Gechen Langshi Zhenjun said coquettishly: "...Emperor, can't you say something that makes people happy?"

"… Talking about some great principles at this time will make happy things become unhappy."

Morax then said: "...Zaratul is right. I agree with him. There are always too many tragedies like dramas in this world, which makes happiness precious and makes it happy."

"You two are really like old scholars."

Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun rolled his eyes at Xixiang and Morax, feeling somewhat helpless about their preaching like an old man.

"You haven't changed, kid. When you were a kid, you were so naughty..."

Before Morax finished speaking, Gechen Langshi Zhenjun blushed and interrupted him: "...Prince Yan, please don't talk about my childhood."

"...Why are you just like Liuyunjiefeng, always saying things that make people unhappy?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a dissatisfied woman's voice came from the side: "...Ge Chenlangshi, please explain clearly, why do I always say things that make people unhappy?"

A crane landed beside Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhen Jun and flapped its wings.

Seeing that she was heard by the victim who was badmouthing her, Ge Chen Langshi Zhenjun quickly shut up. She winked at Xi Xiang and said with a smile: "...Emperor, I have something else to do, so I will return to Liyue Harbor first."

"...I will go to Ziweiyuan to find you then."

After saying this, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun fled quickly and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"Don't leave!"

Liu Yun used the wind to spread her crane wings, but in the end she did not keep Ge Chen Lang Shi Zhenjun, and only saw his back.

Xianhe then looked towards Saigo, looking hesitant and indecisive.

Seeing this, Saigo smiled and said, "...what do you want to say to me? Stay with the clouds and borrow the wind."

"...You're not like yourself now. Didn't you always say in the past that you were the best at finding topics to chat about?"

Upon hearing what Xi Xiang said, Liu Yun Jie Feng put aside her worries. She folded her wings and said, "...May I ask the Emperor, is Gan Yu doing well in Liyue Harbor?"

"She is doing well in Liyue Harbor. I have taught her everything I can and cannot teach her."

"…But if you want to know how Ganyu is doing, why bother asking me? Why not just go to Liyue Harbor and meet her?"

Saigo smiled.

Liu Yunjiefeng was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was right. If he wanted to know how Ganyu was doing, why not just go and see her?

There is no requirement that immortals are prohibited from entering Liyue Harbor. In addition, Liuyun Jiefeng is different from other immortals. Although she does not like the human lifestyle very much, she will not deliberately stay away from it.

Liu Yun Jie Feng patted his head in annoyance and said, "...The Emperor is right, I am a little crazy."

"…But I am happy for the child to be able to integrate into human society."

Saigo then said: "... Ganyu has only integrated into the lifestyle, but her heart is still full of concerns about it, always thinking that she is neither a fairy nor a human."

Upon hearing Xi Xiang's words, Liu Yun Jie Feng said helplessly: "...Why is that child still so depressed? He has clearly received your guidance, Emperor."

"... Let me tell you, that child was like this when she was little. Sometimes it was really infuriating. She..."

As soon as Liuyun Jiefeng finished speaking, Xixiang said, "...Stop, stop. If Ganyu were here, she would definitely turn around and run away in shame and anger."

"...You should just keep quiet."

"I have something else to do in Liyue Harbor, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Saigo activated the space control technique and disappeared in front of Morax and Liuyun Jiefeng.

·· ········Request flowers····· ·····

True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng touched his crane head and asked doubtfully: "...Did I say something wrong and make the Emperor unhappy?"

Morax groaned and said, "...From a universal point of view, you did not say anything wrong. Zaratul may really have something wrong."

Liu Yunjiefeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "...That's good, Emperor, I will also reject Yunjian first."

Morax nodded and said, "...Go ahead."

After all the immortals left, Morax was the only one left. The Rock Devil looked at the land of Liyue under the bright moonlight and murmured, "...tragedy is always like drama..."

"In the end..."

……

In Liyue Harbor, Xixiang returned to Ziweiyuan.

Gan Yu, who was busy under the lamp, saw Xi Xiang coming back. She said happily: "...Emperor, you are back?"

....... ........ ...

"...Are you hungry? How about I make you some noodles?"

Saigo waved his hand and said, "...I don't need to eat human food."

But seeing Ganyu's expectant expression, Xixiang paused again.

He thought that Ganyu had recently learned to cook, and although she could only make simple meals like the one below, Xixiang didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm.

"I'm not hungry, but since it's Xiao Ganyu's...noodles, I'd like to try it."

Xixiang felt that his words seemed to be a bit ambiguous, but fortunately the cute and silly Ganyu didn't hear it, or maybe she was too young.

Gan Yu said happily: "...Please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen now."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xi Xiang said again: "...I just saw Liu Yun borrowing the wind."

Gan Yu froze, with a dry smile on her face: "...Master Liuyun didn't say anything, right?"

"She said when you were a kid..."

Saigo's voice was rising in pitch, and he paused here, teasing Ganyu.

Ganyu felt nervous and uneasy, rubbing her hands together, looking like she was about to cry. She wondered what dark history Master Liuyun had brought up about her.

Seeing this, Xixiang smiled, winked at Ganyu and said: "...I forgot what I said next."

Gan Yu was stunned for a moment, her face flushed, knowing that Xi Xiang had tricked her, she whispered: "...The Emperor is so annoying."

After saying that, she fled away.

Seeing the little Qilin going away, Xixiang smiled, shook his head and looked out the window.

It seems that I will stay here for a while, and then I will go to Inazuma.

Chapter 38: Liyue's clothes are colorful

(I feel a little uncomfortable today, so there may be fewer updates.)

Saigo sat by the window, his chin supported by one hand and playing with a pipe in his right hand.

The pipe was given to me by my current boyfriend, Tianquanxing.

This one of the Seven Stars found skilled craftsmen from Liyue and used precious minerals to make a pipe for Xixiang as a gift.

The pattern on the pipe is delicate but never exaggerated, giving it a sense of heaviness and elegance.

Although the Tianquanxing's behavior seemed a bit like a gift of flattery, Saigo still accepted the pipe.

It was beyond Saigo's expectation that there was tobacco growing on this land.

However, the tobacco here is not nicotine, but a mint-like tobacco leaf. The smoke exhaled has the fragrance of mint and is very refreshing.

This thing is not addictive and is good for the body, so tobacco has become a business in Liyue. From high-ranking officials who pay a lot of money to peddlers, everyone likes to take a puff when they are tired.

Saigo took an exquisite bottle from the table next to him and opened it, revealing processed tobacco.

He took out a little bit of the tobacco and slowly put it into the pipe. Then he leaned against the window with his legs crossed on the table and lit the tobacco, looking relaxed and at ease.
