Finally, he pulled his foot out of Maria's grasp, finished the toast in his hand, and said to Heulia: "Let's go. There are still some mechanical procedures in the cave that need to be adjusted. Let's get to work and ignore these two reckless men. Omit~~" "Okay, sister." In fact, they all noticed something. Especially in the end, she was familiar with both Maria and Morax, and it was obvious that these two had some secrets from the beginning. However, as demon gods, Guizhong and Heulia both knew that avoiding them was not because they didn't trust them, but to protect them, so they had no choice but to cooperate. After Gui Zhong and Heulia left, Zhong Li picked up the teacup and used the tea to sober up and make his mind clearer, then asked: "Where are Fanan and Yingda? Aren't they in Yuhua Garden?" "I went to the stratosphere abyss. You know how big it is. It's very difficult to explore with only Golden Peng. After the great changes that year, the stratosphere abyss has changed too much. Now it's difficult to determine the original sealing node. If I can't find the node, I have no idea where to start." "It's good this way. No matter what the result is, let them contribute their share, and we will feel more relieved in the future."
"Yes, he is their eldest brother after all." They smiled at each other. Then Zhong Li put on a serious expression and told everyone what he had seen and heard at the divine banquet. "…I can't determine the exact relationship between Kusagami and that being, and Inazuma's situation makes it even more confusing. I'm still wondering, what does the Salt King think?" Maria shook her head and said helplessly while making tea: "You already know everything I know. How can I see it better than you? However, I did discover one thing." "I'd like to hear the details." "Because I'm the one involved, I can see this more quickly - Morax, do you think it's that easy for a demon god-level warrior to be born? Besides, as you said, she was originally a mortal, so this is almost impossible." Maria looked at Zhong Li very seriously. Zhong Li was stunned for a moment, with surprise in his eyes. "You mean, similar to you?" Zhong Li still found it unbelievable. But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed very possible. You must know that Liyue has many extraordinary beings such as the Jueyunjian Immortals and the Yakshas, but the only one who has reached the level of a demon god without being a demon god in the past few thousand years is the Salt King. There is no reason why such an outlier among outliers could suddenly appear in Inazuma! Chapter 152 What is that guy hiding? "That shouldn't be the case. When a demon dies, it will simply become resentment that merges into the earth. At most, a new demon with the same power will be born. I've never heard of a demon coming back from the dead." After Maria's advice, Zhong Li couldn't help but recall some of Ray's expressions in the movie, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong. In addition, there were only two demons in Inazuma's position, which made him quickly identify Kaguya's true identity. However, there are still many problems. Maria shook her head and asked:
"How do you know she's dead? Did you see her body and the demonic resentment she left behind?" "I... never did." "Besides, it is difficult for us to guess what power that unspeakable being possesses. Who can say that He cannot do it?" Zhong Li was completely speechless. Maria smiled and continued: "After all, this is just a guess based on my own situation. There is no evidence. You don't have to dwell on it." "No, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I'm afraid what the Salt King said is the truth. If we infer this, then the words of the Grass God, the Grass God's position... well, what do you think, Salt King?" "I tend to agree. It explains the Inazuma prayer ceremony and the Inazuma Kokushi, and makes everything so far make sense." “I think so.” Zhong Li nodded, sighed deeply, and looked in the direction he came back from. If it really is her, then it is the return of another old friend. From this perspective, the power, wisdom, and layout of the World Tree are more terrifying than imagined. Well, maybe it's time for Liyue to decide its position as soon as possible. "The clues are hidden deep within the grass, and the veins are hidden for thousands of miles. This is in line with His position." "Morax, don't be anxious. You need to be cautious." "I understand. Thank you for your reminder, King Salt. I will think about it again." "Nothing. The Salt of the Earth is also a part of Liyue, and I have a role to play in this as well. Let's just encourage each other." The two smiled at each other and raised their glasses to toast each other. After drinking a cup of tea, Morax felt much more at ease. Yes, he is not the only one who can handle it now. Maria is also a colleague who can drive with him. Although the task is big, with her help, there is no need to be so stressed. Zhong Li felt like he had regained his leisurely and carefree mentality, and this reminded him of a previous question. "Ahem! After returning, King Yan has been helping Guizhong clean up his cave. Has he not been to Liyue Harbor yet?" “Not yet, indeed.” "Well, are you interested in visiting my current residence? My host is kind and welcoming, and very hospitable. I'm sure she will welcome me very much." "Is there anything else? I'll think about it." Maria looked hesitant and convinced. Zhong Li smiled with hidden expectation. ……
Two days later, Maria and Heulia arrived at Liyue Harbor. As for the end, when she heard that Maria was going out, her eyes lit up. Then, she couldn't wait to push Maria and Heulia out, saying that she wanted to concentrate on repairing the cave and developing the mechanism, and let them play in Liyue Port for a few more days. "What is that guy hiding?" "king?" "Oh, nothing. Speaking of Heulia... Heulia, this is your first time in Liyue Harbor, right? I don't think you've been here before either." "Yes, I was either in the Salt of the Earth or in Guili before, and I have never traveled far to Liyue Harbor." The Salt God, who used the alias Helia, looked at the bustling city with curiosity. Although he knew it was definitely different from the past, he still had a happy smile on his face. The Salt King, who goes by the alias Marenia, holds the hand of the Salt God and shows a gentle smile. "Then let's have a good look around. It's rare for you to come here, and it was Zhong Li who invited me, so I'll put it all on his account this time." "That would be a big help, we have no money... no Mora, it would be great for that one to help pay the bill." Heulia patted her chest, looking a little nervous. Although we are friends rather than enemies, I still feel uneasy when Morax is mentioned. It seems that it will take some time to eliminate the psychological shadow. While strolling, a graceful figure in green clothes passed by, holding a guqin and a scroll. Behind her followed a delicate little girl with a bow in her hair and a bamboo basket on her back. "salt……" "Ping'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. I'm Marennia, and this is Helia. I'm invited by Mr. Zhong Li to come and take a look around Liyue today. Is this your disciple?" Maria held Heulia's little hand and looked at Yaoyao with gentle eyes. The sensible little girl raised her head and looked at the two strange beautiful sisters with her innocent big eyes. Maria and Heulia were both touched by her cuteness and reached out their hands to gently stroke the little girl's head. Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun was stunned for a long time before he reacted. He bowed and saluted quickly, smiling and said: "Ping'er has met you two. This is my little disciple Yaoyao. Come, greet the two adults. They are both people respected by the master." "Yaoyao has met two True Lords!" The little girl decisively bent 90 degrees, and when she raised her head again, her face was full of admiration and joyful smile. In her eyes, people respected by immortals are naturally immortals as well. But at this time, no one corrected the problem of addressing. Maria touched her chin, thought for a moment, then squatted down and raised her tender little hand. Maria gently drew a symbol on Yaoyao's palm, and a faint trace of blood appeared and then disappeared. Yaoyao felt a slight itch and stared at Maria with a curious look. After Maria finished painting, she raised her hand and stroked Yaoyao's head.
"I didn't bring anything with me when I left, so I left something here for you to protect. It'll keep you safe at the critical moment. It's a little shabby, so don't mind it." "No, thank you, Master!" Yaoyao said with a bright smile. Ping'er nodded with a smile. Yaoyao was too young to understand, but she knew very well the value of the Salt King. The Salt King said it was for protection, so it would probably be very useful even when facing the devil. This gift was already extremely valuable. "Both of them are here, so where is the other one?" "She said she wanted to repair her cave, and she was so mysterious that no one knew what she was doing." Maria smiled helplessly. Ping'er blinked thoughtfully, then nodded. After all, it's understandable. Who knows what she is doing secretly? Living with such a person, chaos is common. The True Lord of Gechenlang City then gave Maria a sympathetic look: "You've worked hard, too." "No, it's fun, and I love her." "Uh... Yan, Your Excellency Marennia, the general trend in Liyue is still more tactful, unlike in the past. It would be more appropriate to... be more restrained when speaking these words to others." "Oh? Is that so?" Maria looked back at Ping'er seriously. Her flawless face was slightly confused, serious and pure, exuding an unconscious and amazing charm. Anyway, most of the Liyue ladies passing by would glance at me in surprise and then turn their heads back frequently, and their walking speed would slow down. Ping'er couldn't help but cover her cheek with the guqin. "No wonder he was able to surrender. Being looked at so seriously by the Salt King, even a thick-skinned Guizhong would not be able to stand it, right?" Maria nodded as if she had thought it over carefully, and said: "I understand. I'll try to adapt. By the way, when Zhong Li invited us, he only said it was in the Hall of the Dead. Ping'er, do you know which direction to go?" "I just happen to know. How about I take you two to have a good look at Liyue today, and then go to Mr. Zhong Li's place for tea?" "This……" Maria turned her head and looked at Heulia with a questioning look. Originally it was a date for two people, and now that Ping'er has volunteered to be the tour guide, the most important thing is to respect Heulia's opinion. Heulia nodded and smiled brightly: "Okay, thank you very much." A date for two people is of course nice, but Heulia's requirements have always been low, as long as she can be with Maria, it is enough.
However, Maria thought about it, and in Heulia's surprised eyes, she shook her head and said: “Forget it, just point us in the right direction. This is Helia’s first time in Liyue, and I want to accompany her alone.” "Ah... OK, I understand." Ping'er blinked and felt inexplicably full again. Immortals are also women, although not as lecherous as mortal women. They do have their own way of loving men. Thinking that Guizhong has always been treated like this by the Salt King, it is really a bit enviable. "Ah~~"
