I live a slow life in Genshin Impact

After Paimon briefly recounted what he experienced in the ruins of the Abyss Cult and expressed his hope to get some clues about Kong from Zhongli.

Zhongli was silent again.

Paimon and Ying blinked and looked at him, waiting for an answer.

Even Feng Luo and Shen He, who were about to leave, looked over here.

"..."

"..."

"I can't say."

The expression on Zhongli's face changed several times before he finally spoke.

"Eh?!"

Paimon suddenly showed a look of great disappointment.

"Why can't I tell you...wait! So you really do know about this?"

Paimon was also smart for once, but this feeling was very bad...

The answer is right in front of me, but I don’t know it!

"Is that really the case..."

Unlike the disappointed Paimon, Ying looked like she had expected this.

"What!"

Paimeng was very unwilling: "Why can't you reveal the relevant information? This is really important to us..."

"I understand that, but this is my contract. I'm very sorry."

Zhongli showed a regretful expression.

If possible, he didn't want to see the disappointed look on Paimon's face.

But a contract is a contract after all.

"Well……"

Paimon seemed to understand something.

"Could it be that in this matter, you also have your own unspeakable difficulties, just like you did with King Ruota?"

Zhongli did not answer directly, but changed his words: "This contract was born before everything started. According to the provisions of the contract, I must remain silent about this."

"how so……"

Paimon hung her head. She knew Zhongli's character. Since this matter was a contract, he would never reveal it.

"I consider you as a friend, and it is not my intention to disappoint you, but as the God of Contracts, I cannot break this contract."

"I understand."

Ying nodded, with no disappointment on her face.

"Hey! Ying, have you thought about it a long time ago?" Paimon asked in disbelief.

"Maybe, it's just a feeling."

Ying nodded slightly.

After all, they were siblings, so she had a better understanding of Sora's thoughts.

"You seem to understand the world better and better."

There was a strange light in Zhongli's eyes, and it was hard to tell whether it was relief or some other emotion.

"There are still many past events and secrets on this continent. They have been forgotten or abandoned for too long."

"If it were you, you might be able to find them and bring up these past events."

“Witnesses come to bear witness, and recorders live to remember.”

“There will be more difficulties on your way to that person, but as long as you firmly believe that this path is right, then everything will make sense.”

"Ah."

Ying nodded, and the look in her eyes became firm again.

"I will."

Ying and Paimon went back towards Liyue Harbor together.

They also need to submit the commission to the Adventurer's Association, so that the commission completion process is complete.

Feng Luo and Shen He prepared to head towards Wangshu Inn to have some rest.

As for Zhongli...

He still stayed where he was, standing under the giant tree, looking at the stone tablet, as if he was reminiscing or remembering something.

There is a sense of loneliness in the back view.

"..."

Feng Luo was silent. He wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

In the end, I could only sigh softly.

"Let's go too, Shenhe."

The people who brought the noise left one after another, and the empty valley became quiet again, with only the calm wind blowing.

After a long time, the figure under the tree finally disappeared.

Wangshu Inn.

Feng Luo and Shen He quickly checked into the room. After eating a little, Shen He received a message from Master Liuyun Jiefeng, saying that when he was developing something, he encountered some monsters harassing him outside.

Because Master Liuyun Jiefeng was in the process of research, it was not convenient for him to take action personally, and he needed Shen He's help to drive it away. So Shen He hurriedly left for Aozang Mountain.

In the huge room, Feng Luo was the only one left.

"Ugh--"

He sighed.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something extra in the room.

"Xiao Ming, is that you?"

Feng Luo was not panicked, but asked as usual.

The only person who could appear and disappear so mysteriously was Xiao Ming, who had been staying at Wangshu Inn for a long time.

"I'm not in the mood to play hide-and-seek with you today... Oh, by the way, maybe Lottia would be willing. Lottia, do you want to come out and play hide-and-seek with Xiao Ming?"

He tapped the small water bottle hanging on his chest with his fingers.

However, this time, Lotia did not respond.

"Lottia?"

Feng Luo looked down in confusion and found that there was no trace of Lotia in the small water bottle.

"Um... Feng Luo, I'm here."

Lottia's weak voice came from behind.

"So it's you, Lotia."

Feng Luo felt a little strange: "Why did you suddenly think of this? Is there something wrong?"

As he spoke, he looked back, and after seeing clearly the small figure standing behind him, he couldn't help but subconsciously take half a step back!

"'Aju?!"

The person standing behind Feng Luo at this moment was Ajiu who was supposed to disappear!

Now Ajiu is less aggressive, but her eyes are still as fierce, just like a bad girl in school.

Just put his hands on his hips and looked at Feng Luo.

And she exudes a strong scent of water element.

"Why are you still here...oh no, why are you here with me?"

Feng Luo swallowed his saliva and said, "Is it Mr. Zhongli you are looking for?"

"Morax?"

Ajiu snorted coldly: "I don't want to look for him anymore."

"As for why I am here?"

"Of course I was attracted by the same aura as you."

She looked at Feng Luo meaningfully.

"This strong aura of the abyss is even stronger than that of those monsters."

"If it wasn't attached to you, I wouldn't be able to detect it at all."

"And this pure water spirit puppet..."

While Ajiu was speaking, one of his eyes suddenly turned a light blue like lake water.

Her voice also changed to that of Lotia: "Feng Luo, I didn't mean to do that, but she was able to absorb my power and transform into this form..."

"Did you come out? Get in now!"

Ajiu scolded, the blue in his eyes fading.

"Hey, hey...you're borrowing someone else's power, and you're still so fierce?"

Feng Luo put his hands on his hips: "Although I don't quite understand the principle behind this, in short, you have absorbed the power from me and the power from Lotia, so you can reappear in this form, right?"

"Then you'd better be polite."

"Oh?"

Ajiu tilted his head: "What if I'm not polite?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Luo in front of her suddenly disappeared, and then a huge force lifted Ajiu up by the waist!

“Ah——what are you going to do!!”
