“That’s true.” Finally, she smiled with relief. She didn't want to make Maria worry. Besides, it would just be the same as before. What was there to be afraid of? Heulia also nodded slightly, and felt much better immediately. Zhong Li calmed down and said: "Even if we completely trust Shen He's judgment and assume that she has no hostile intentions, the one who descends represents heaven..." Zhong Li's words came to an abrupt halt, and he had to be careful. Some people understood, some people didn't. But Zhong Li did not continue, and no one asked inappropriate questions. Zhong Li continued: "It's impossible to pretend nothing happened. We can't be sure when the changes will happen. The only thing we can be sure of is that the changes related to the Adventers can lead to the collapse of the entire continent of Teyvat if we are not careful. Salt King, is it possible to go in that direction..."
"No matter how much he knows, now that we have met, I think it is necessary to inform him." "That makes sense. No matter what, this is a big deal for Teyvat, and we should fulfill our obligations." "Perhaps we can ask him about his attitude. Perhaps he knows more, perhaps he has already made plans... The sea is turbulent, and the waves are too big, so big that even you and I can hardly ensure the stability of the big ship Liyue. At this moment, the only effort we can make is to know as much as possible." Maria's face was calm, and her tone was filled with emotion. Zhong Li nodded in agreement. They spoke in a riddle, but again, no one asked any questions. Everyone understood that under the sky of Teyvat, some things could not be believed if they were not said, but it was simply better not to know than to know. "Do you think we should choose as soon as possible?" "I don't know. That's for you to decide." "In fact, King Yan can just say it frankly. In today's Liyue, there is no need to make such a clear distinction between you and me." "Okay. If you ask me, I'm not used to watching it... There's something wrong with them forcing the demons to fight to the death and watching the people sink and swim in the sea of suffering. Maybe they have their reasons, but they have done me a great favor. What do you think I would choose? The situation is even more complicated now. Liyue really needs a reliable support. What do you think, Morax?" Maria's answer was reasonable and logical. Zhong Li was lost in thought. In fact, there are only two options. Either follow Sky Island wholeheartedly, or simply join the Vxu g faction, which has no benefits. In the final analysis, Liyue is of no importance to either side and has no qualifications to be sold. Instead, it is easy to become a victim of the confrontation between the two sides. Originally, he wanted to watch and think slowly, using time to verify the pros and cons of the two options. He had to first understand what the World Tree was and what it could do before deciding whether to follow it, right? What if the World Tree was only slightly stronger than the Seven Gods, but couldn't resist Sky Island at all? Wouldn't that mean Liyue would be on a dead end! But now the Coming One has appeared. According to ancient historical experience, the appearance of the Adventers will inevitably be accompanied by dramatic changes in the world of Teyvat. It may be a devastating war for world sovereignty, or it may be other unimaginable changes. But no matter what, Liyue can only endure it but cannot resist it. This gave Zhong Li a sense of urgency. As Maria said, the waves are too big, and the Liyue ship needs a support. Based on the little bit of ancient history that Zhong Li knew, it was hard to say whether the World Tree was reliable or not, but Sky Island was definitely not reliable.
"Liuyun, that ground rolling move you just showed me really opened my eyes. Can you teach me when you have time? Maybe I can use it someday." "Don't laugh at me, you old bastards! That's the Salt King's sword. You will be the same if you come!" When Zhong Li was thinking, others did not dare to disturb him, so the little animals started chatting in private. Xianyun pushed his glasses and glared irritably at the two serious incarnations of immortals. Guizhong's eyes lit up and he quickly squeezed over, still holding the melon seeds in his hand. "What? What rolling on the ground? Did I miss something good?" "Bang! Bang!" The stone on the table also quietly jumped closer, and then pretended to be there from the beginning, staying motionless. Xianyun raised his fist and clenched it, making a crackling sound. At the critical moment, Maria dragged the Return to her side again and said with a helpless smile: "Alright, alright, these are just accidents that happened in the maze. Don't make things difficult for Liu Yun. Also, did you do anything to Liu Yun these days? Why did she mention your name as soon as she saw me?" The smile on Gui Zhong's face disappeared. Xianyun and Ping'er's expressions and bodies also froze instantly. Chapter 179 The Lost Water God "Ahahaha! Ruota, you are really a stone!" "Yeah yeah." "Indeed, this roundness is really roundness~~" Guizhong, Xianyun and Ping'er surrounded the small stone on the table, each with a gentle and false smile of respectability on their face. The small stone that had jumped over to watch the show suddenly became a prop for the three women to change the topic. "Buzz!" The stone expresses a certain emotion through its strong vibrations. You women, don't use me as a shield for your affairs - although I don't have the power of Morax, everyone can understand the obvious meaning. But what can we do? As a powerless stone, Ruota could only be tossed and toyed with by the three women. He had no other options except shaking it angrily. Maria held Heulia's soft little hand with one hand, and rested her chin on the table with the other hand. She looked at Guizhong who was trying hard to act and occasionally stole glances at her, with a gentle and affectionate smile in her eyes. "Woo~~" With a mournful cry, he covered his face, walked silently to Maria's side, and snuggled into her arms. "Don't ask anymore..." "Okay, whatever you say is fine. But you have to stop playing pranks. Xianyun and Ping'er are shy. If they turn against you, I can't help you."
"Hmm~" Finally, in Maria's arms, he seemed to have turned into a gentle and calm little bird, and just agreed with a blushing face. His big watery eyes blinked, and suddenly he understood. "Wait, are you calling me thick-skinned?" "No, your face is so soft and tender that it looks like it could be broken by a touch." "Hate it, let's touch it when we get home, hehe~~" Finally, everything settled down completely. Maria no longer asked about the "little things" between the three best friends. "Huh!" ×2 Xianyun and Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief as if they had escaped death. Isn't it just a narrow escape? If what happened in the Yuhua Garden was exposed, it would be better to die! Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang and Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan, who had been staying out of the incident, could not help it either. "You two..." "Shut up." "but……" "Be quiet, don't disturb the Emperor's thoughts." Xianyun and Ping'er's expressions were more serious than each other. The two immortals who were not involved in the incident scratched their heads and stopped asking. It was not because they were not curious, but mainly because they sensed the murderous aura. After a long while, Zhong Li raised his head from his thoughts. "Salt King." "You say." "Please take some time out to travel far away in the near future. You know where you are going, so keep it as secret as possible. Tell the one who can relieve the suffering of attrition must be the descender. Also, I, Liyue... will follow." "Morax, be careful!" Maria, on the other hand, gave an extremely solemn exhortation. Zhong Li picked up the stone on the table, stroked it gently in his hand, smiled and shook his head: "Salt King, you have already made up your mind, why are you wavering again when you come to me?" “It’s different. You and I have different things on our shoulders. My attitude is based only on my personal standpoint, but your attitude should be based on the entire Liyue.” "War, wear and tear... We have lost a lot, and I cannot be without resentment. I cannot agree with the higher-ups. We have actually discussed their position, and I think there is nothing wrong with it. We have to make a choice, and we have to make it decisively. This is my decision as the God of Liyue." "……it is good."
Maria nodded slowly and replied solemnly. It was enough. Everyone knew that the Salt Queen was a man of her word. Once she said something, she would definitely do her best to fulfill it. Just as she said she wanted to relieve the suffering of the Yakshas, she used her sleeping corpse to exchange their blood for thousands of years without any discount. This was also the reason why the immortals and gods of Liyue respected her. Zhong Li made his decision, and felt relieved. He looked at Xianyun and his apprentice gently: "As for Shen He...if she wants to go, Liu Yun, don't bother her." "I understand, Emperor." Xianyun adjusted his glasses, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to touch Shen He's head. Shen He raised her head, looked at the two of them confusedly, and then continued to keep her head down and act as her invisible self. Zhong Li chuckled. He was a generation older than the immortals, after all, many of them had received his guidance. And Shen He was a generation younger, so he was his grandson. The more an old man looked at his grandson, the more he liked him. "There's no need to force her to explore anything. This is a rare fate, so let it happen naturally and just make friends." Zhong Li gave another reminder. The level of the Advent One is above the Seven Gods. If she wants to speak, she will speak naturally. If she doesn't want to, you can't force her. Forcing Shen He to be utilitarian would only make things worse. Xianyun nodded again. "I will take care of him myself. I share the same rock element with him, so perhaps I can find a way to replenish his vitality. It is worth sacrificing one's body and accumulation in exchange for a new life. What do you think, Rota?" "Buzz!" "It would be awkward to say sorry. Our alliance is both a contract and a friendship. Your return is the best news. The rest is unimportant." "Buzz!" The crowd did not know what Ruota had said specifically, as only the Rock King himself could read the language of the stone. But they probably understood what Ruota meant, and smiled. First it was the Salt King and his wife, then Ruota. Although there were more difficulties and dangers, old friends also returned. Compared with the pressure, there was more happiness. "As for the others...be more prepared. I don't know when the challenge will come, nor what it will be like. But just like last year, we should advance and retreat together." "Yes, Emperor!" "The covenant is still there. The three of us will listen to you." "Buzz!" …… Inazuma, Mondstadt, and Liyue have solved some problems one after another. At the same time, Fengdan, the water god, was completely paralyzed like a salted fish. "Eris, milk tea." "I am here, Lady Finina."
"Eris, cake, feed me." "Yes, Lady Finina." Navrette came to check on the situation because the water god had been hiding in the palace and was lazy. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the arrogant and licentious Fenina and the hardworking Eris, and her eyes twitched slightly unconsciously. "Ms. Finnina!" "Ah? Oh, it's Villette. What's going on?" "You have been lying in the bed for more than half a month."
