The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

129 Ke Qing: If only the Emperor would always be like this.

"Peng!"

To everyone's astonishment, the Hilichurl Helmet that had leaped into the air transformed into... a tiny mouse in a puff of smoke.

"Squeak squeak squeak?!"

In the eyes of the Rock Helmet King, he was merely rushing towards the little dwarf flying through the air.

In his calculations, a single, gentle slap would be enough to turn the little dwarf into a meat pie.

But just as he was about to make contact with the other person, he found that the perspective had changed. The originally short dwarf suddenly became incredibly tall, and even easily lifted him up.

This filled the already furious Hilichurl King with immense terror; he had never seen such power before.

"Little brat, who do you think is short now?"

Bai Zhi picked up the Qiuqiu Rock Helmet King and gave it a disdainful shake, making the guy squeak and squeak.

The tiny Hill Glory King dared to call her a little dwarf; if it weren't for the synesthetic beacon, she wouldn't even know she was being insulted.

"Is this... a celestial technique?"

Ke Qing muttered to herself.

Everyone looked astonished, because from their perspective, in the instant the Rock Helmet King pounced on Bai Zhi, this originally enormous Rock Helmet King turned into a small mouse held in Bai Zhi's hand.

While elemental power has many magical uses, the technique of transforming one creature into another is extremely difficult and generally requires many steps, rather than being achieved instantly.

Or they are beings with special and powerful abilities, such as demons.

"See? This proves my power!"

Bai Zhi floated back to the group, then slammed the bewildered Hill Glory King, now a mouse, to the ground.

"It seems to have really turned into a rat? Unbelievable."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun squatted down, inputted his immortal power to examine it carefully, and then showed an interested expression.

"Of course, just a little trick~"

"Its flesh and internal organs are undoubtedly those of a rat, but similarly, its body still contains a large amount of rock element. This ability turned it into a rat, but its own strength does not seem to have been weakened."

"But even so, if one life is transformed into another, even if that life itself has great power, it will be unusable for a very long time."

Holding the little mouse that the Rock Helmet King had transformed into in his hand, green fairy power continuously seeped into it. After a moment, True Lord Liuyun Borrowed Wind came to a conclusion.

"Yes, even if their strength is not damaged, the two very different life forms are enough to create a very powerful control effect."

Bai Zhi proudly stated that although in the original work, the transformation of the Holy Lord did not affect him at all and he remained powerful, that was because the talisman itself belonged to the Holy Lord, so he knew how to adapt instantly, but other life forms did not have this ability.

For example, if a human were to become a rat, they would certainly not know how to move or how to fight back.

"Sister Keqing, are you relieved now?" Bai Zhi said with a smile.

"This... is indeed no problem, Your Majesty. I'm sorry, I did have some doubts before."

Ke Qing hesitated for a moment, then decisively apologized. She believed that with the Emperor's magnanimity, he wouldn't mind some of her thoughts.

Bai Zhi did as she wished, without being overly critical, because she understood this feeling well. She had experienced it herself when she was on the Immortal Ship, being closely guarded by various people.

However, compared to the high-risk environment of the Star Iron world, the continent of Teyvat is obviously much more stable. She also has the Dog Charm as a backup, so she doesn't need as much protection.

However, speaking of Xing Tie, Bai Zhi was also wondering how Fu Taibu would react to her sudden disappearance.

Maybe they'll be in a hurry.

But it's okay. Even if you can't see Fu Taibu, you can go to Xumi to find the little grass god with the same voice actor.

“It’s not offensive to raise questions; in fact, I appreciate being realistic.”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ke Qing was somewhat moved. She felt that the Emperor after his rebirth was so understanding. Although he was not as majestic as before, he was much more approachable.

"If only the Emperor could stay like this forever."

A thought popped into Keqing's mind, but she immediately shook her head. This was not something she could think about. As a Liyue person, how could she have such delusions about the Emperor?

This is utterly disrespectful to the Emperor!

"When shall we set off for Mount Sumeru?"

Bai Zhi asked impatiently, "Once we get there, we can see the adorable Nasita. We can also punish that evil sage from the original story, like turning him into a rat for life. That should be a good option, right?"

First of all, let me clarify that she is not a lolicon, she just happened to think that the little grass god is cute.

"Please wait a moment, we will make the arrangements. If Your Majesty wishes to visit on an official level, we will need to issue a diplomatic note. Of course, if you are visiting in a private manner, then it will not matter."

Ke Qing, like a competent secretary, quickly explained the relevant handling methods.

"Hmm... let's just have an official visit."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi gave this answer: if she were to visit Xumi in a private capacity, many things would be quite troublesome.

If she were to visit in an official capacity, things would be much easier. As one of the Seven Rulers of the Mortal Realm, her current status necessitates that she be received by an equal being when she travels to Sumeru. And among those equal to her in Sumeru, besides a certain Gundam who has not yet become a god, only Narcida remains.

The scholars of Sumeru would naturally not allow the scattered Gundams to come out and receive people, so they could only have Nashida come out to greet them.

If the other side is unwilling to release Naxida....

Then he would have a legitimate reason to punish these scholars and great sages.

While private visits allow you to instantly defeat the Great Sage, that's just too boring.

"Okay, if it's an official visit, I'll arrange the relevant formalities immediately. You should be able to travel to Sumeru within about three days."

Keqing nodded and said very efficiently.

"For the rest of the time, Mr. Zhongli, Lord Liuyun, Sister Keqing, Miss Hutao, you can all go about your business. I want to wander around Liyue Harbor first, maybe it will help me recover some of my memories."

"Your Majesty, please feel free to go anywhere in Liyue Harbor, as long as you can regain your memories," Keqing said.

"In that case, I shall take my leave. I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. I will do my best to investigate Liyue in order to better assist Your Majesty in the future."

These were Zhongli's words, which made Baizhi roll her eyes. "Are you going to investigate Liyue? You old fool, you just want to slack off, why are you pretending to be diligent?"

"Then I will first return to the mountains to prepare the necessary tools and lay the foundation for future work."

"Okay, thank you for your help, True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind."

130 scammed Daddy Duck out of 2000 million.

"That guy must be the reborn Geo Archon..."

In a secluded spot within Liyue Harbor, a man with orange hair watched Bai Zhi wandering around, a thoughtful expression on his face.

During this time, he kept thinking about how to get the Heart of God from the other party.

He guessed that since the other party had become like this, and even lost their memories, their strength must have been greatly diminished. As long as he found the right opportunity and used forceful means, he would definitely be able to subdue the other party and take away the Heart of God.

However, the other party was always accompanied by many people, including the Seven Stars and the Immortal.

Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. He was confident that he could defeat those hall masters of the Hall of Rebirth and the Seven Stars, but he would only attack them if he didn't want to appear in Liyue in the future.

Otherwise, he would inevitably face endless manhunts.

But now, he feels that he has found a tiny bit of an opportunity.

Thinking of this, he stopped hiding it, straightened his clothes, and quickly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty." X2

D'Artagnan looked over in surprise and found that the person making the same sound as her was a blonde girl and an emergency food ration.

"is her?"

In an instant, D'Artagnan recalled information about Luminosity: a mysterious traveler who, without the Eye of God, could wield elemental power on his own, and a great hero who saved Mondstadt, a knight of honor.

"what?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Bai Zhi, who was strolling around the market stalls, turned around in surprise and saw the two staring at each other.

"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"

After calming her surprise slightly, Bai Zhi pretended not to recognize the two people and asked.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Your Majesty, I am Tartaglia. I am new to Liyue and everything here is very novel to me. As for you, the great god who led Liyue to its current status, I would like to have a closer conversation with you."

D'Artagnan showed no fear whatsoever, but rather appeared quite poised and confident. Coupled with his bright and sunny smile, he truly resembled a handsome idol from the Winter Kingdom. If he hadn't said anything, no one would have guessed that he was actually an executor of the Fatui.

"I see, Datalia, are you a Winterborn?"

“That’s right, Your Majesty has a good eye. I am from Zhidong and I’ve come here to do some small business. I’ve heard that Your Majesty has quite a reputation in business, so I’d like to ask for your guidance.”

Looking at Dadalia, who lied without batting an eye, Bai Zhi smiled.

"I wouldn't say I've made any achievements, but Mr. D'Artagnan, you say you're a businessman? What's the scale of your business? And what do you sell?"

“Uh…” Faced with Bai Zhi’s answers, Dadalia was stunned. In a sense, he really was a businessman, but apart from doing various things to obtain the Heart of God, he usually acted as a high-level henchman.

"Mr. D'Artagnan, as a businessman, surely knows these things, right?"

Bai Zhi deliberately feigned a suspicious look.

"Ahem, I was just thinking about it when Your Majesty asked. Actually, I sell toys in Winterfell. I also have a title: the best toy salesperson in Winterfell. I came to Liyue this time to investigate the toy market in Liyue."

"Hey bro, you're a toy seller? I'm in the toy business. Look, this Emperor doll is brand new. We're also planning to make new toys based on the Emperor's current appearance, and they're sure to be a big seller."

Upon hearing Dadalia introduce himself in this way, the stall owner in front of Bai Zhi, who was already extremely excited about the Emperor's arrival, became even more excited and hurriedly picked up the dragon-shaped doll on his stall to start promoting it.

“Look, Mr. Tadalia, you can take these dolls back and sell them. Things are valued for their rarity, and these dolls have all been tested by the market.”

Bai Zhi pointed to the dolls on the stall as if it were a matter of course, and said in a slightly cunning tone.

Pretending to be a toy salesman, huh? I'll show you what pretending is all about today.

"Uh..." D'Artagnan looked at the enthusiastic stall owner and Bai Zhi, and after a long while, she managed to stammer out, "Your Majesty, is it really okay to use your image as a doll?"

“Of course, no problem.” Bai Zhi shrugged and said with a smile, “The people of Liyue like to use my image as dolls, which is a sign of their love for me. Moreover, if my image can bring more income to the people of Liyue, I would be very willing to do so.”

"How about this, I admire your pioneering spirit and willingness to learn. I can talk to this stall owner on your behalf and offer you a batch of goods at a lower price. You can also sell the toys until Winter Solstice, which will be a contribution to the toys of Liyue and will save you some costs."

The vendor nodded eagerly, "No problem, if the Emperor asks, we are of course willing. Mr. Tartaglia, I am willing to provide you with a large quantity of exquisite dolls and figurines of the Emperor's new image at a 6% discount."

“Ah, this…” Tartaglia fell silent. This was not quite what he had expected. He had planned to get close to the Rock King and invite him to visit a hidden warehouse. Then, he could directly take action and snatch the Heart of God from the weakened Rock God.

But the other party was so direct in trying to close a deal, completely deviating from his usual approach.

However, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to refuse now. After all, given the other party's status, they've taken the initiative to help him close the deal, and he's not going to give them face. That wouldn't do.

I might just ignore him next time.

So he forced a smile. "Of course, I am very happy that Your Majesty was able to help me make such a deal. I happen to have 20 million Mora in my Northern Bank account, so buying a large number of Liyue-themed toys is no problem at all."

"Well then, keep it up, Mr. Tadalia from Winter's End. I believe you will become the best toy salesman in the world."

Bai Zhi floated up, patted Dadalia on the shoulder, and said in a teachable tone, which made Dadalia grit his teeth speechlessly.

I haven't even done anything yet, and I've already spent 20 million Mora, plus so many dolls. Am I really going to have to transport all these things back to Winter and work as a toy salesman for a while?

The vendor rubbed his hands together with delight. Everyone said that the Emperor was the God of Wealth, and sure enough, he had only been at the stall for a short while and had already brought in a business worth tens of millions of Mora.

"Oh dear, when we go back, we must offer a few more sticks of incense to the Emperor and pray that she will bless us with wealth."

131 Foolish Rock God!

"So, Mr. D'Artagnan's problem is solved. What brings you two here now?"

After the vendors pulled D'Artagnan aside to discuss the goods, Bai Zhi turned her attention to Yingmei and Paimon.

"Hello... Your Majesty, I am Paimon."

Paimon seemed a little reserved.

"Hello, cute little guy, is that your owner next to you?"

Bai Zhi made a joke.

“Hey, no, she’s Ying, a traveler, my partner, not my master.”

Paimon immediately performed his classic Void Stomp move.
