Chapter 37
But, I Refuse!

【Xiang Ling】:So that’s how it's solved?

【Xiang Ling】:I don't really understand, but it seems really amazing!

【Xingqiu】:The Archon sent out the Geo Vision beforehand, which shows that he’s very satisfied with Mr. Su Mu’s plan!

【Xingqiu】:I didn't expect the Archon's fake death to turn into a real death. The people of Liyue in the parallel world are likely to face a catastrophe.

【Ningguang】:Change always comes with bloodshed.

【Ningguang】:Only this way can we wake up the Liyue people who are living in a dream.

【Ningguang】:I have to say, this requires immense courage, but ultimately it will lead to the rebirth of Liyue.

【Keqing】:Although I've always wanted human rule.

【Keqing】:But how come this human rule feels different from what I imagined?

【Keqing②】:Hehe... this is just the beginning. You’ll understand the weight of those two words soon enough.

【Keqing②】:In this world of the strong prey on the weak, the human rule you hope for will never be realized. It’s a fact you have to accept.

【Keqing】:Suddenly, I have a bad feeling about this.

【Paimon】:Whoa… Su Mu’s performance is too outrageous, right?

【Paimon】:Not only did he find Zhongli, but he also negotiated with him face-to-face, and even took the Geo Vision beforehand!

【Paimon】:We were kept in the dark, and we had to run errands and handle all sorts of things. In the end, we didn’t get anything.

【Lumine】:Paimon, don't get so worked up.

【Lumine】:At least Madame Ping gave us a Serenitea Pot.

【Paimon】:You saying that makes me even more upset. The treatment is totally different!

【Hu Tao】:I’m going to write “miserable” on your leg.

【Xingqiu】:Comparison makes things worse. Why don’t we stop comparing?

【Xiang Ling】:Yeah, why not just give the rewards to Mr. Su Mu? If we keep comparing, our mental state will be affected.

【Lumine】:I would love to! But the system didn’t say we could end the comparison early! I’m afraid I'm going to be crushed from Mondstadt all the way to Fontaine!

【Su Mu】:Look at what you said.

【Su Mu】:Are you afraid of others seeing what you've done?

【Su Mu】:I'm actually curious to see what other tricks you have.

While everyone was engaged in heated discussions.

An official could be seen hurrying towards them from a distance.

She came to Su Mu, took a deep breath, and said with utmost respect:

“Mr. Su Mu, I apologize for interrupting you.”

“Why is an official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs looking for me?”

“I remember the Ministry of Civil Affairs is under the jurisdiction of the Jade Chamber Star. Could it be that she wants to see me?”

Hearing this, the official looked surprised. She froze for a moment before reacting and quickly said:

“Mr. Su Mu, you are indeed astute. Keqing has already booked a room at Yuehai Pavilion, and she specially asked me to invite you.”

Having said that, the official respectfully presented an invitation.

It was decorated with golden threads, showing how much Keqing valued this meeting.

Su Mu took the invitation and smiled slightly, saying: “If that’s the case, then I’ll be happy to accept your invitation.”

The official couldn’t help but sigh in relief after hearing this. She was worried that if Su Mu refused, she would have to face Keqing’s wrath when she returned.

“I won’t disturb you any further, Mr. Su Mu. Enjoy your meal.”

She bowed respectfully again and left the square nervously.

“It seems our plan is going more smoothly than expected. I need to go to the Northland Bank first.”

“Speaking of which, I don't have any Mora on me now. You’ll have to pay for this tea. You won’t mind a little bit of money, right?”

“Of course.” Zhongli nodded, then touched the spot where his wallet should be, his expression turning strange. He coughed awkwardly and said:

“Ahem… sorry.”

“I accidentally left my wallet at home.”

“But it’s okay. I'll just send the bill to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor later.”

“Tsk tsk, the Morax who controls Mora, doesn’t even have any money on him? He needs to rely on a young girl for reimbursement?”

“I feel a little sorry for the director of your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. She's so young, yet she has to shoulder such a heavy burden.”

【Hu Tao】:Mr. Su Mu is right!

【Hu Tao】:Finally someone has spoken up for me!

【Hu Tao②】:Will talking help? In the end, we still have to pay for him?

【Hu Tao】:Hiss… You’re right! Talking alone won't do! We need to find a solution! Help me, my parallel self!

【Hu Tao②】:Tell the front desk that Wangsheng Funeral Parlor won’t accept any bills, and make the creditor go find Zhongli to pay their debts, let him work to pay off his debts himself.

【Hu Tao】:Genius!

【Hu Tao】:I'll go find the front desk now!

【Hu Tao】:Haha, I'm finally going to live a good life!

【Zhongli】:…Director, you don’t have to be so ruthless, I didn’t spend that much money, right?

【Hu Tao】:Yes, yes, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor earns only this much every month, and you’ve spent it all. I even have to pay out of my own pocket!

【Hu Tao】:Why don't you be the director, and I’ll be a guest. You only need to pay me a salary, and the rest of the debt problems, you figure it out yourself!

【Zhongli】:Ahem… I think being self-reliant is also good.

Having no choice.

Su Mu had to deploy his wind field.

A moment later, a figure rushed over.

“Su… Mr. Su Mu, I brought everything you wanted.”

Tartaglia looked at Su Mu with vigilance, afraid that he would do something to him again.

In fact, he didn’t want to come here at all, but thinking about Su Mu’s strength, he could only come here reluctantly.

He took out a heavy bag of Mora from behind, estimating that it contained at least tens of millions. In his other hand, he held the Noctilucous Jade.

“You arrived just in time. You can go now.”

Su Mu nodded in satisfaction after taking the things from Tartaglia.

Tartaglia, relieved, immediately turned and ran, not daring to stay for a moment longer.

Su Mu casually took out a few Mora coins from the bag and placed them on the table, preparing to get up and go to Yuehai Pavilion for the banquet.

Just then, he saw Zhongli staring at him with expectant eyes, or more accurately, at the Mora bag in his hand.

“What are you looking at?”

“Do you want to rob me on the street?”

“Ahem… Mr. Su Mu, would you mind helping me…”

“The mighty Morax, can’t even afford a few hundred Mora? You’re this.”

Su Mu gave Zhongli a thumbs-up.

Then he said cheerfully: “But, I refuse!”

“Everyone else makes the old Geo Archon cough up coins, who ever heard of making the young Geo Archon cough up coins?”

Saying that, Su Mu turned and left, leaving Zhongli, who couldn’t pay, standing there, petrified like a statue.
