Original God's Dark Priest

"Zhongli!" Safire grinned when he saw Zhongli, sat down next to him, and put his arm around him.

Safire liked being by Zhongli's side very much, it made her feel at ease, as if as long as he was around, no one in the world could hurt her. This is the sense of security that is integrated into the blood, and the trust that goes deep into the bone marrow.

Seeing her like this, Zhong Li put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his hand to push her messy hair aside: "It seems that the evolution is about to be completed. Are you feeling unwell recently?"

Safire shook his head and let go of his hand: "It's much better. The feeling that the bones were twisted before has faded away. Now my body is just a little sore. I guess it won't take long to fully recover."

"That's good. It's best if you are well." Zhongli smiled and nodded, looking as if he was relieved. Then he asked another question, "A while ago, you used the 'contract'?"

"Ah, you feel it?" Safire scratched his head, "I can't help it, that guy is too difficult to deal with, so I have to be more cautious. You won't blame me, right?"

"You haven't done anything wrong, how can I blame you?" Zhongli blinked, then frowned slightly, "It's difficult... What kind of person would let you give such an evaluation? Even in secret Communicate with the Blade of Kaufeng to solidify the contract, and the seriousness is almost catching up with the law."

Yes, the contract between Saphir and Dotore was finally drawn up with the authority of the King of Dust to die, and through long-distance communication with the Blade of Kaifeng in Ying's hand. The guarantor of this contract was Zhongli, even if he didn't come forward, he could Once Kao Feng is involved, he is the ultimate guarantor.

This led to Zhongli being able to feel the signing of the contract on Dao's wife's side even though he was in Liyue. It can be said that as long as Dotore breaks the agreement and takes action against Liudashka, then even if he is protected by the Ice Queen, Morax will go to the Winter Kingdom and wipe out every slice of Dotore .

This was Safir's protection for Lyudashka, even though the client had already been taken by Ada to familiarize herself with the layout of the Iwagami Teahouse.

Safire picked up a cup, and Zhongli picked up the teapot and poured tea for her, as skillfully and naturally as he did thousands of years ago.

"This is the ultimate purpose of my visit to Daozhi this time. Liudashka is my friend. I don't want her to be wronged, so I will give her insurance." Safier picked up the teacup and sipped, "I'm not A great guy who just wants to do my best to protect his friends.

Zhongli, you must understand this feeling, right? The weight of the rock is reassuring. As someone whose origin is rock, you should understand the meaning of "protection" better, right? "

Zhongli put down the teapot and sighed softly: "Guarding, yes, I know the meaning of guarding very well. Unfortunately, I didn't do it well."

After hearing this, Safire chuckled: "Didn't you do a good job? We are no longer the same. In the past, you had to protect the general public, all living beings, Guiliyuan, Guiliji, those who trusted us, The people of Liyue gathered together. Not a single person.

The same is true for immortals. They always have a burden on their shoulders, and that burden is called "all living beings." She suddenly thought of a joke from her previous life and asked, "Zhongli, if your opponent was you when you were young, could you beat him?" "

Zhong Li looked at Safire with a strange look in his eyes, then he changed his mind and smiled: "When I was young, I knew all his weaknesses, but at that time, he was so high-spirited that he shouldn't lose. "

"Yeah, when you were young, you didn't have a good temper." Safire clearly remembered the virtues of this guy when he was young. They were suppressed by rock guns at every turn. If she and the immortals hadn't been pulling behind them, there would have been one more demon tomb in Liyue.

Zhongli picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He suddenly wanted to drink. He poured another cup of tea. Zhongli remembered the Hailantern Festival: "Speaking of which, you probably don't know the theme of the Hailantern Festival this time, right?"

"What?" Safire calmed down and chatted with Zhongli on a lighter topic.

Zhongli considered the words for a moment, and then showed a strange expression: "Emperor Yan Wang has passed away, and Liyue has entered the era of human rule. In this year of connecting the past and the next, the original theme was to move the sky to guide Tian Tianjun, but after the general affairs During the company’s discussion, they chose to change the topic.”

Safir's eyes widened, and she guessed a possibility: "Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a joke? Are they?"

Zhongli nodded: "It's just what you thought. In the year when the emperor left, the Hailantern Festival will commemorate an immortal whose contribution to Liyue in history is no less than that of the Yanwang Emperor. If she survives to this day, I'm afraid Hui will be on par with Emperor Yanwang.

This is the theme of this year's Hai Lantern Festival, commemorating the immortal who sacrificed his life to protect Guiliji two thousand years ago: King Chen, King Chen's death. "

"Um...can you change them back?" Safire was a little speechless. She really didn't want to be like Zhongli, but it seemed that she was not far away now. Zhongli personally organized his own funeral and invited friends to attend.

She wasn't much better. First, she helped this guy escape, then went to the Guiliji site to sweep her own grave, and now she had to participate in a festival with the theme of honoring her?

I have a headache. I can't think about it in detail. The more I think about it, the weirder it gets. This reminded her of a retarded question: why Nobel couldn't win the Nobel Prize.

Zhongli's smile became more obvious. Ever since he met Safire, he also started to smile. Although he would never show it to outsiders, it also meant that he gradually let go of the burden on his shoulders and became more calm. .

"I'm afraid it's too late to replace it now. Planning for the Hai Lantern Festival usually starts more than two months in advance. This year, it's already too late. If we suddenly need to replace it now, I'm afraid it will end up being nondescript."

Zhongli was secretly amused when he saw Safire's constipation. He picked up the teacup and continued, "And, at least on the surface, you are the executive officer of the Fools and have no right to dictate matters in Liyue."

After waving his hand, Safir gave up on himself and said, "Forget it, although it's weird, at least it's worth looking forward to."

"Well, you will like it." Zhongli nodded when he saw Safire compromised. He was also looking forward to this Hai Lantern Festival. "I heard that Yuhengxing invited you to perform. Are you ready?"

Safire nodded. In fact, she didn't pay much attention to the program: "Just pick up a random piece and play it, right? There's no need to make it too formal."

Zhong Li glanced at her after hearing this: "It's not impossible if you think so, but Liu Yun and the others will come when the time comes. Do you want to be laughed at?"

"Ah this..." Safir's face turned dark. It was absolutely unacceptable for Liuyun to laugh at him!

This was just like being embarrassed by Wendy. She didn't want to see Liu Yun say to a child many years later: "After all, back then, I went to perform at the Hai Lantern Festival, but people didn't buy her account and turned her away." I was blown away from the stage, that scene was really, tsk tsk..."

Safir slapped the table and stood up. She wanted to stop this from happening! No matter what happens, this cannot become a reality. Absolutely not!

-----------------

"This is indeed Cuijueyan. Where did you get it?" Grandma Ping looked at the stone in her hand and confirmed Safiir's words.

Little Paimon stepped forward and said, "Grandma Ping, this is what Safir gave us. She said she wanted you to make a pot of something for her."

Ying added: "It's the Dust Song Pot. She said you know what it is, so let's just say that."

Grandma Ping couldn't help laughing when she heard that it was Safir's commission. "Hahaha, it turns out it's her. Well, is that what it is? I understand, old lady."

Although she didn't know what Grandma Ping understood, she didn't ask any more questions and watched Grandma Ping take out various materials and start making.

"Grandma! I'm here!" Just when Ying and little Paimon were in awe, a energetic girl's voice sounded. Ying turned her head and saw that it was a girl with green eyes and pink hair.

The clothes this girl is wearing... Well, how should I put it? To describe it, it feels like wearing two scarves on her body is more subtle than her...

However, it is very impolite to talk about other people's clothes casually, so Ying chose to press her lips tightly, and also pulled little Paimon over to prevent her from talking.

Hearing the girl's voice, Grandma Ping raised her head and looked up, then showed a kind smile: "It's Yan Fei. Come, let me introduce you."

Yan Fei walked over quickly, but kept saying, "Grandma, you don't need to introduce me. Traveler Ying and little Paimon, I know them!" As she said, she looked at Ying and little Paimon, "You guys Okay, I’m Yan Fei, Liyue’s legal expert. If you have any legal matters in the future, you can come to me.”

"Law expert?" Little Paimeng scratched his head, "Weren't Liyue's laws formulated by Emperor Yan Wang?"

Yan Fei covered her mouth and chuckled twice before explaining: "Actually, that's not the case. Although Emperor Yanwang, as the God of Contract, laid the foundation for Liyue, in fact the entire framework of the law originated from King Chen. The final 'four commandments of finality'.

Teach them with wisdom, discipline them with virtue, strengthen their bones and muscles, and unite them with one mind. That was the original ‘rule’. Later, after subsequent generations supplemented and improved it, the current Liyue Law came into being. Okay, I can’t say much more, the next thing is the paid content! "

Little Paimon was very surprised: "Huh? Are there still charges?"

Yan Fei took it for granted and nodded: "Of course there will be a fee. Although Liyue is a society of favors, it is also a commercial capital. Besides, if it's all favors without compensation, what will we eat? We need to eat."

"Although... although... it doesn't feel right, it does seem to be the case." Little Paimon was confused by what he said. He wanted to refute but couldn't find the words to say.

Ying caught the four commandments of finality mentioned by Yan Fei. She looked at Grandma Ping, and Grandma Ping spoke with a smile on her face: "Okay Yan Fei, you kid, you are like this every time, every time you speak, Don’t let others speak.”

"Ah! Sorry, I'm used to it!" Yan Fei realized her rudeness and apologized quickly.

Ying and Paimon were not petty people, so they didn't take this seriously.

After the greetings were over, Yan Fei walked to Grandma Ping and took off the satchel she had been carrying: "Grandma, all the materials you want are here. But the Cuijue Rock is gone. There used to be a piece over there at Crosso. But it has been bought."

Speaking of this, Yan Fei also felt a little embarrassed on her face, so she quickly added: "I have already gone to the General Affairs Department to apply for a pass to the Layer Rock Abyss. I will dig a piece of it myself later!"

Grandma Ping was amused by Yan Fei and stopped her: "Forget it, Cuijueyan already exists. It was sent by a traveler."

"It was actually sent by a traveler? The traveler actually has Cuijue Rock?" Yan Fei looked at Ying with a hint of surprise, "That thing can only be seen occasionally in the deep layers of the giant abyss. Have you ever been there? A huge abyss of rock?"

Ying shook her head and said honestly: "Safir asked me to send it. It belongs to her."

"Safir? The Fools' executive officer An Mu?" Yan Fei frowned and thought, "If that's the case, it would be easy to explain. The Fools had previously sent a company into the underground mining area of ​​the Layer Rock Abyss. It seems to have paid off.

But as an executive officer, can she actually keep the items unearthed by the company as her own? Is this considered a form of seeking power for personal gain? "

These words made Ying and little Paimon break into cold sweats. Could this girl want to put Safiir on trial? It felt like if she did this, she would be beaten, and there would be absolutely no one to speak for her.

Safire's status in Liyue is obvious to both Ying and Paimon. She probably doesn't need to take action herself if she wants to deal with an ordinary young lawyer.

Just as she was thinking this, Ying suddenly realized that Yan Fei was calling Grandma Ping "Grandma". She looked at Grandma Ping and asked, "Grandma Ping, is it possible that Yan Fei is so close to you?"

"That's right, I have a semi-immortal body, just like sister Gan Yu, but my father is an immortal and my mother is an ordinary person, so I can probably be regarded as an immortal, right?" Yan Fei did not hide her feelings at all. Identity, he said openly.

Ying nodded clearly, and little Paimon also had a look of surprise on his face: "No wonder it's so... um, direct? However, I really didn't expect that there would be such a down-to-earth immortal."

Grandma Ping explained with a smile: "Yan Fei has grown up in Liyue Port since she was a child, so although she is a semi-immortal, she is actually closer to a mortal. The environment in Liyue Port has created her enthusiastic and cheerful personality. Therefore, many people forget that she is actually a fairy."

Yan Fei also scratched her head: "Haha, grandma is right to say that. In fact, sometimes I even forget it."

These words made several people present laugh. After laughing, Yingxiang mentioned Safiir in a subtle way: "Grandma Ping, since Yan Fei is an immortal, then..."

How smart is Grandma Ping? Before Ying could finish speaking, he knew what she meant. He thought for a while before speaking: "What are you talking about? It's just something that 'doesn't' need to be told to everyone. It's good that you know it yourself. Don't publicize it."

"That's right." Ying nodded in understanding.

Yan Fei blinked and was confused: "What's going on?"

Ying was serious and changed the subject.

"Nothing, Grandma Ping, you'd better make the Chensong pot quickly, I have to send it back!"
