“Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Why would we go there?”
Diluc was puzzled.
With so many fun places to visit in Liyue, why would someone choose a funeral parlor?
But he didn't ask any further. Mo Li must have had his reasons.
【Keqing: Surely, he already has a plan for Liyue?!】
【Ningguang: Isn't it a bit rash to go see the Geo Archon now?】
【Qiqi: It's impossible to keep Mo Li's infiltration of Liyue a secret, it would be better to be upfront!】
【Alhaitham: You're all looking at it from a god's perspective, the Liyue Qixing don't know Zhongli's identity!】
【Xiangling: Is there a chance he's going to see Hu Tao? After all, he...】
【Hu Tao: ?? What does he want from me? But this Funeral Director welcomes guests!】
【Zhongli: …】
Unlike the urgent feeling in Mondstadt, Mo Li felt like he was coming home when he arrived in Liyue.
He looked around, just like a tourist.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something.
Mo Li walked over with great interest.
Before him was a child, struggling to do stretching exercises.
A talisman was stuck on her cute face.
Her movements were obviously slow.
“Long time no see~”
Qiqi looked up, her eyes filled with confusion as she stared at the smiling man in front of her.
“Does Qiqi know you?”
“Sorry, Qiqi always forgets some things…”
The little zombie was full of shame.
“That's really heartbreaking~”
“My name is Mo Li. Don't forget me again!”
Mo Li patted Qiqi's head, unlocking an achievement.
【Hu Tao: What a bad guy, pretending to know her even though they've never met!】
【Yae Miko: Cheating is the most honorable thing he's ever done!】
【Eula: He actually has a side like this?】
【Kaveh: Bro, are you a lolicon? Tsk tsk tsk!】
【Mo Li: You better not say that out loud, I just feel a bit close to her (clearing the land)】
“Sir, that was…”
Diluc was confused.
“Zombies are supposed to be dead, but they've been preserved with a touch of life using divine magic.”
Listening to Mo Li's explanation, everyone around him exclaimed in surprise.
You have to admit, Liyue really has a lot of interesting things.
It's much more interesting than Mondstadt.
The group walked and stopped on the way to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
But halfway through, Mo Li stopped again.
“No need to go! Let's listen to a story first!”
Diluc, Kaeya, and Bennett looked at each other, but didn't say anything and followed him.
But the three of them didn't resist much because they had learned a lot during this journey.
“Bring tea!”
Mo Li casually found a seat and sat down, in front of a storyteller who was talking eloquently.
And the table next to him...was that man.
“Last time I told you, it was said that the Mondstadt Windblume Knight bravely fought a dragon!”
“Just in the nick of time, the Windblume Knight stepped forward with his sword, grabbed the dragon's head, and instantly refined it!”
“…”
The eyes of the three people around him were all focused on Mo Li.
Liyue is really keeping up with the times.
Even the storyteller's storybook is the latest edition.
【Venti: So you're saying you're using all the intel you gathered from Mondstadt for this?】
【Keqing: Well, it's a form of cultural dissemination, you're not losing out!】
【Amber: I'm curious to know what Liyue people would feel if they heard these stories from Mondstadt?】
【Liyue Citizens: Amazing! Awesome!】
【Hu Tao: Skipping work to listen to stories again! Guest, Guest!!!】
【Zhongli: Let me explain, Hu Tao...this is clearly...】
【Ningguang: It's not a loss, having a Geo Archon in the family, right?】
【Hu Tao: So, should the expense be split evenly?】
It was clear that Mo Li's goal was Zhongli.
But he didn't do anything, just sat there quietly listening to the story.
However, everyone noticed that since Mo Li sat down, the Geo Archon kept glancing in his direction.
The two of them were like hawks waiting for their prey.
But to everyone's surprise, it was Zhongli who couldn't hold back.
He slowly got up and walked towards Mo Li.
Diluc and the others got up and left, politely giving Zhongli a seat.
Zhongli sat down naturally, facing Mo Li like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time.
At this moment, the Qixing couldn't help but sigh, the Geo Archon never gave up on Liyue.
It seemed that every move Mo Li made was under his surveillance.
“Is there something you need, sir?”
Mo Li smiled slightly, his words caught Zhongli off guard.
No, shouldn't you be the one looking for me?
But Zhongli didn't mind. It was clear that both of them had their own thoughts.
“Zhongli of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor! I don't know your…”
“Mo Li!”
He calmly uttered two words, and Mo Li remained silent again.
“Where do you come from?”
“From the heavens!”
These words caused Zhongli's expression to change drastically.
Others might not know what "the heavens" meant, but he knew exactly what those two words implied.
As the Geo Archon, he naturally knew about Mondstadt, and knew more than anyone else.
But this person who appeared out of thin air, his origin was unknown to anyone.
Zhongli only knew that he was a Traveler, destined to change fate.
But "the heavens"... the implications were too great!
【Ningguang: Why is the Geo Archon so cautious? What does "the heavens" mean?】
【Keqing: This should be information that only gods know!】
【Paimon: Why don't we ask the reliable Venti?】
【Venti: Ahe!】
【Fningna: I don't know much, but it should have something to do with the place that cursed Fontaine...】
【Arataki Itto: Isn't Mo Li from another world? What does it have to do with the heavens?】
【Yae Miko: You're meeting him for the first time, right? Does he ever tell the truth?】
Zhongli was indeed shocked, this was different from what he expected.
He still treated the person in front of him with a friendly attitude.
But the prerequisite was that the other party didn't pose a threat to Liyue.
But the two words "the heavens" made him alert.
Could it be the Sky Island? Impossible, right?
“Don't worry, we're not enemies~”
Mo Li smiled and took a sip of tea, looking up and down at Zhongli.
Sure enough, the stronger someone is, the more they overthink.
“Sir... what are your intentions?”
“To fulfill your wish! Or rather, to fulfill the wish of the gods!”
If the previous mention of "the heavens" was still a bit ambiguous, his words now were too arrogant.
Fulfilling the wish of the gods? Does he know what he's talking about?
Even someone as strong as Zhongli was a bit taken aback, feeling that the other party's answers were not on the same page as what he expected.
“What do you mean by that, sir?”
“You're asking me a rhetorical question. I made a pact with the Anemo Archon, and granted him what he desired!”
“Mondstadt is prosperous, the Wind Dragon Calamity is gone, and the Anemo Archon has achieved his goal and retired.”
“These... are our covenants!!”
