Genshin Impact: I am a high-ranking official from various countries

Slowly raising the sharp blade in his hand, Chen Yue's eyes revealed a look of reluctance.

"In my next life, I hope I can live in a beautiful era." The Gray Demon closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.

The sharp blade fell, and Chen Yue took the life of the Gray Demon at this moment.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Although Ren Chenyue had killed many people before, this was the first time he killed a god with his own strength.

Looking at his blood-stained hands in disbelief, Chen Yue couldn't believe that what he saw was real.

Did he really kill a god? Although he killed a relatively weak demon god, he was still the strongest being in the world.

Since he came to this world, he had rarely fought with the devil. All this happened too quickly. No, this is not right. Why? Why didn't the aftermath of the devil's death spread?

When Chen Yue opened his eyes, a golden rainbow spear blocked his downward movement.

"Zhong...Lord Emperor."

The moment he saw this weapon, Chen Yue almost shouted out the name Zhongli, and then quickly knelt on one knee and respectfully saluted Morax.

……

"Lord Emperor, this is the whole story."

Chen Yue respectfully recounted everything that had just happened, including his guess about Ossel's plan.

After listening to Chen Yue's words, Zhongli frowned slightly.

He also had some sense of what was happening in the sea, but he didn't expect Osel to be so dishonest.

In fact, he had already noticed the incident in Ao Zang Mountain, but Chen Yue was faster and had resolved it before he could take any action.

Fortunately, Chen Yue resolved it. If the news that he was causing trouble here got to Osel's ears, then Liyue Harbor would probably be in real danger.

Although the Gray Demon is very weak, it would be troublesome if we try to delay him at the cost of our lives.

"Lord Emperor, why did you stop me from killing him?"

Although Chen Yue didn't really want to kill him, since Zhongli stopped him, he still had to ask the reason.

After all, in his impression, Zhongli was very arrogant when he was young, but his temper was worn away by wear and tear.

After silently looking at Chen Yue, Zhongli put his hands behind his back and spoke.

"If word gets out that a mortal has killed a demon god, what do you think the demon god will think?"

"You were already so strong when you were a mortal. If you continue to grow, won't your strength in the future be even more terrifying? If you kill him, not only will there be no benefit, but you will also face the disaster of death."

In fact, Zhongli didn’t say one thing. The main reason why he didn’t let Chen Yue kill the Gray Demon was to keep Chen Yue.

No matter how strong a mortal is, he is nothing in the eyes of some powerful demon gods. Even if they encounter a very powerful mortal like Chen Yue, they will not kill him, but will extend an olive branch to him to recruit him.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof and keep such a talented person by his side, Zhongli stopped Chen Yue from killing the Gray Demon.

After hearing Zhongli's words, Chen Yue could tell that this was another olive branch to him. But he didn't need to say it out loud, after all, this was his chance to prove himself.

Standing before him was one of the seven future rulers of the mortal world, the most powerful god of war among the seven gods, the founder of all contracts, Morax.

Now, this powerful demon god has extended an olive branch to him, and even an average person like him who is generally in the second-average situation cannot refuse it!

Besides, following such a powerful demon god, he could at least save a few hundred years of hard work, which was especially suitable for a young man like him who liked to play badly.

"Emperor, how should we deal with this demon god?"

Chen Yue pointed at the Gray Demon who was still lying on the ground and asked.

"Although he is guilty, his crime does not deserve the death penalty. Just seal him up." Zhongli said in a light tone, silently glancing at the Gray Demon on the ground.

"The incident at sea is imminent. I am willing to go with you and help the Emperor settle the matter."

Chen Yue half-knelt on the ground and asked respectfully.

"No need, just continue to do your job here."

"From now on, the area you are responsible for will be expanded to Minlin, Bishuiyuan, and Qiongjiye. If there are demons stronger than you, don't worry. I will take action to deal with them."

When Chen Yue heard this, he was stunned for a moment. With his current strength, it should be possible that he could not help.

But when he heard that the area he was responsible for occupied half of Liyue Harbor, he was even more surprised.

It seems that the emperor lets me stay here because he trusts me. If he lets anyone else stay at this border, the emperor won't feel at ease.

"Emperor..."

Chen Yue's voice trembled a little. This was the first time he had obtained such great power.

To put it bluntly, Aozang Mountain can only be regarded as a county at most, but Minlin, Bishuiyuan and Qiongjiye can be regarded as a state at the smallest.

Now he is the governor of three states, which is much more powerful than the governor of a county before.

This made him feel a little guilty. Just a moment ago he still had the idea of ​​being an ambitious man, but now he just wanted to be a loyal minister.

Although, it is hard to find a loyal minister like me with strong personal abilities even if you burn a lantern.

“I will do my best to protect these three states and not let any monsters set foot in Liyue Harbor.” Chen Yue knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to express his gratitude to the Emperor.

"Hahaha, get up. From now on, you don't have to call me Emperor. Just call me Morax like everyone else." Zhongli was amused by his behavior and quickly helped Chen Yue up from the ground.

"Yes, Lord Morax." Chen Yue stood up, his eyes full of determination.

"I will personally go to the sea to deal with the matter. Before that, you just need to do your own thing."

"When the war is over, you will be a fairy of Liyue, and this place of Aozang Mountain will be your fairy residence."

"Yes!" Chen Yue responded respectfully again. He knew that no matter how much he begged, he would not get the emperor's consent. Instead of doing this, he might as well do his own thing.

Upon seeing this, Zhongli said nothing more and turned to walk towards Liyue Harbor.

"Morax, I have one more thing to ask, I beg you to agree to it." Seeing Zhongli was about to leave, Chen Yue said hurriedly.

"Oh, what else?" Turning his head back in confusion, Zhong Li asked.

Chen Yue looked at Zhongli with firm eyes, and the expression on his face revealed his huge desire.

"During this period of time, can I take full charge of these three places?"

Zhongli was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Chen Yue would make such a request.

It’s not that he couldn’t understand Chen Yue’s thoughts. After all, Chen Yue was an ambitious man. He was eager to make greater contributions to Liyue, which was also worthy of praise.

"Your request is very meaningful. I will consider it." Zhongli pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
