Genshin Impact: Wherever you go, all wear and tear will be eliminated

Chapter 132: Disrespect for the Immortal God

The next morning.

In Dihuazhou, a strategic location in the central part of Liyue, two young figures stood together, reminiscing about the bloody battles fought by the Yakshas thousands of years ago when the place was filled with bloody clouds.

When people get old, they tend to think about this and that when they see some old things. These two old antiques are no exception, but they usually don't express them, and they keep them in their hearts or show them in their eyes.

"Yo!" Several hillbillies holding torches were patrolling by. Seeing two humans doing nothing, they waved their torches and rushed towards them.

Mo Ran smiled slightly. Zhongli was like a towering mountain and could not be shaken. It was ridiculous that the Rock King, the leader of the Yakshas who had fought for a thousand years and suppressed countless demons with a rock spear, was ignored by these monsters.

Mo Ran loosened his wrist and asked with a smile: "I haven't fought a hillbilly for a long time. Do you want to do it?"

Zhongli said calmly: "Just hand it over to the commander, I will be at ease."

Mo Ran put his hands in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The sky is moving."

A crack appeared in space, and the subtle force of rock elements condensed into a star less than ten meters in size, which slowly fell down and killed these hillbillies.

But even though Mo Ran had controlled his strength very well, there were still many cracks on the ground, as densely packed as a spider web.

"Wow! Mo Ran, you are so strong?!" A female voice that sounded very petite was heard. Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Paimeng and Kong who came together.

Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "It's just a little trick. Mr. Zhongli is truly powerful. Back then, I almost lost my courage because of one of his stars."

Paimeng looked at the silent idler in surprise, and thought that he should not offend him in the future, otherwise a star would fall and Paimeng would be gone!

Paimon quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, we didn't keep you waiting for too long, did we?"

Zhongli said, "No, you are very punctual. We just arrived not long ago. Is the Jade Pavilion fun?"

Paimon was very excited and shouted, "Super big, super luxurious, super expensive, it's the most expensive building I've ever seen!"

“Indeed, if the Qun Yu Pavilion is ranked second, no one in Liyue would dare to claim to be first. Well, this is not entirely correct. After all, the old man in Ningguang’s family is the real number one.” Zhongli smiled slightly, his amber eyes glancing at the man in black, with a hint of meaning.

Mo Ran rolled his eyes and continued to ask, intending to change the topic of 'the old man of Ningguang's family', "You should have met Ningguang, how do you feel?"

Paimon smiled cheerfully, "She's very rich, very generous, and a very kind person."

Sora said solemnly, "But kindness is also a businessman's weapon."

Paimeng spread his hands and said, "Kong and I have different ideas. He thinks that Yuhengxing, who he met in the Qunyu Pavilion and who speaks more directly, is more trustworthy."

Mo Ran nodded and sighed, "That's true. Before you truly enter Ningguang's heart, everything is just a chess piece in her hand. If there is no benefit, you can give it up at any time."

"But this kind of person is still quite happy when you really get into her heart. Just think about it, a little girl who obeys you in everything and occasionally throws a little temper, waiting for others without any hesitation, how wonderful it is!"

Paimeng scratched his head, spread his hands, and said, "Why do I feel that Mo Ran knows a lot about this? Is this what they say, only after raising a child can you know the joy of it?"

Kong was also somewhat speechless. "To enter the heart of a person like that is probably harder than ascending to heaven. Besides, Mo Ran, how can you be sure that he is happy?"

Mo Ran immediately revealed a miserly look, "Because Ningguang's Mora is as rich as a country! Not only will I not have to worry about the rest of my life, but I won't have to worry about my descendants either!"

Paimon nodded in understanding, and said with his hand on his forehead, "This, there is really no way to refute it."

Paimeng chuckled and continued, "By the way, that Yuhengxing Keqing really dares to say anything. The immortals were also in the Qunyu Pavilion at that time."

"Keqing actually said: The era of immortals is over. If the Seven Stars of Liyue cannot face this fact, what will happen to the future of Liyue?"

Zhongli laughed and said, "No respect to the gods. Indeed, compared to Yuheng Keqing who dares to say anything, Ningguang is more like a typical businessman. Although she is friendly, you can't be sure that she is 100% sincere."

Mo Ran said dimly, "It's not like that. Ningguang is a businessman who will never do business at a loss. This is a good ambition. After all, he is a businessman. This concept of never losing money is good for dealing with Zhidong."

Kong and Paimon on the side listened to this international dispute in silence. Zhongli stroked his chin, as if thinking about something.

Mo Ran shook his head, dismissing those unnecessary thoughts, and asked, "By the way, you said the immortals are there too, what do you think of their attitude?"

Paimeng hummed and said, "As for Keqing, I just questioned her in my imagination. But as for Ningguang, it seems like she is meeting the daughter of an old friend. It's really strange. Could it be that Ningguang is also an immortal?"

Mo Ran smiled but said nothing. Zhongli shook his head and said, "No, Ningguang is indeed a human being. The immortals must have their reasons for doing this. However, it has nothing to do with us. For now, we should prepare for the immortal ceremony."

Mo Ran nodded and said, "Indeed, we have been talking for a long time. If we delay any further, I am afraid that the Rock King Emperor will open the coffin lid and come to hold us accountable."

Zhongli did not respond to this question, and said faintly: "Today, we need to find wild glass lilies."

"Glass lily?" Paimeng asked in confusion, "Why do you have to come here to look for it? There are obviously many in the gardens of Yujingtai, and there seem to be some in Qingce Manor as well. If that doesn't work, isn't there a large area in Guiliyuan? Why do you have to come to Dihuazhou?"

Zhongli remained calm and said, "No, the ones in Yujingtai and Qingce Manor are all artificially cultivated and are not suitable. As for Guiliyuan, the colored lilies there are indeed very good, but they are also not suitable."

"Before the Demon God War, this place was originally a vast land, but a Chi beast caused a flood that submerged the area. However, the Guili Plain in the south, where glazed lilies also grew, was preserved because of the mountains supported by the True Lord Dangmo Chuzhang."

"Now, only a very few people know that the glass lily of Ogi Prefecture is not completely extinct, and in fact, Ogi Prefecture is the true birthplace of the glass lily."

"This kind of glass lily has a strong fragrance. It needs to be ground into powder and placed in the incense burner of eternal life to be considered a complete immortal gift."

Zhongli narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "However, to pick this kind of glass lily, I still need your help, the traveler."

Kong said slowly, "Could it be that this kind of glass lily grows in some dangerous place and I need to pick it?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just need your singing to make the scent of the Glazed Lily reach its peak. Now, let's go."

Following Zhongli over mountains and across rivers, they finally found a wild colored lily. However, Zhongli and Mo Ran both had strange smiles on their faces because they both discovered something unusual underground.

Mo Ran glanced at the sky, then looked at the blond boy who was about to sing, and said, "The Glazed Lily only blooms at night. Let's wait until night."

Sora kept his mouth shut and said, "Okay."

Paimeng slowly flew to the side of a man in black and asked in a low voice: "Mo Ran, how much Mora do you think the Qun Yu Pavilion is worth?"

Mo Ran smiled and said, "Are you still thinking about this question? However, I don't know either. I heard that a random teacup in the Jade Pavilion could be worth tens of millions of Mora. I'm afraid only Ningguang herself knows the value of the entire Jade Pavilion."

Paimeng exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with stars, and said, "So expensive! It seems that the Jade Pavilion must be very important to Ningguang."

Mo Ran chuckled and said, "Indeed, the Jade Pavilion ranks second in Ningguang's heart. I think that unless Liyue Harbor is in an absolute crisis, she will never give up the Jade Pavilion."

"The second most important? Then what about the first one? Could it be the old man who helped her?"

"I'm not sure about that, but one thing is certain, Mora must be ranked first in Ningguang's heart."

"Uh, that's the expected answer."

After the four of them had spent some time on their own, the entire day finally passed by bit by bit.
