Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 266 Ask the Gods

On the terrace, Lin Huan and Xiao were immersed in memories of the past, and time seemed to freeze at this moment. Suddenly, Lin Huan's sharp ears moved slightly, as if she caught the footsteps coming from downstairs, and the girls' clear voices like silver bells. Her eyes lit up instantly, and a mischievous thought surged in her mind. She winked at Xiao playfully, and her smart look was like a playful elf. Then, she instantly became invisible at an amazing speed, and did not forget to sweep away the pile of items full of memories on the table. Xiao was left standing alone on the terrace on the third floor of Wangshu Inn, stunned for a moment, his face full of helplessness. He shook his head slightly and sighed softly, as if to say, "This girl, there's really nothing you can do about her."

Xiao knew that Lin Huan must be in a playful mood again by hiding herself at this moment, so he ignored her and just stood there quietly, like a steady mountain, waiting for the person coming downstairs to approach.

A moment later, the Traveler and Paimeng stepped onto the terrace. The moment they saw Xiao, the surprise on their faces was as brilliant as fireworks. Paimeng widened his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, waved the "No Taboos" in his little hands, and exclaimed with curiosity: "Wow, it's really an immortal! I thought it would take a long time to find him! I didn't expect that in this Wangshu Inn with such a strong atmosphere of fireworks, there would really be an immortal!" The Traveler nodded slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if at this moment, they had stepped into a world full of mystery.

Xiao's cold gaze slowly fell on the Traveler and Paimeng. His voice was steady and powerful, and he slowly opened his mouth: "'A Hundred Taboos Talisman'? It seems that you are well prepared... But this is just a token that allows me not to harm you. It does not mean that you will not be harmed." Paimon blinked his eyes, his face full of confusion. Countless question marks instantly filled his little head, like a curious child facing a mysterious mystery.

Lin Huan, who was standing by, rested her chin on her hand, leaning leisurely under the eaves. Her eyes were fixed on Xiao, the Traveler, and Paimon. Looking at Xiao's serious expression and Paimon's cute appearance, she tried her best to hold back her smile, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she would laugh out loud at any time.

Xiao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Too close to the world of immortals and demons is to go beyond the rules. Human souls are not as strong as immortals, and it is difficult for blood to carry such a concentrated immortal luck. It's for your own good, so hurry up and leave." Before the Traveler and Paimon could explain, Xiao disappeared again. Lin Huan shook his head slightly, muttering in his heart: "This guy Xiao is still as impatient as ever."

Paimon's cheeks puffed up with anger. He waved his fists and said, "I'm so angry. How can this person talk to himself?"

In desperation, they decided to ask the innkeeper how to communicate with the immortals. Lin Huan watched them leave in a hurry, with a smile on his face. He couldn't help wondering: What kind of wonderful experience will these two little cuties have next? Although he already understood the process, it was really interesting to witness the story in person!

But just as Lin Huan's thoughts were drifting, her sight suddenly met Xiao's helpless and reproachful gaze. Lin Huan was slightly startled, then playfully stuck out her tongue and waved her hands innocently, as if begging for mercy, saying that she really didn't mean it. Xiao looked at Lin Huan like this, his eyes became more helpless, he snorted softly, but he couldn't do anything to her. Lin Huan looked at Xiao's slightly dissatisfied expression and couldn't help but chuckle. She took a few steps forward, walked to his side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, tilted her head to look at Xiao, and teased: "Xiao Immortal, don't be angry. I just thought it was interesting, so I looked at you a few more times."

Xiao turned his head slightly, still with a straight face, and said: "If the emperor knew about your nonsense, he would definitely punish you." But Lin Huan waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Sir, you won't blame me for such a small matter. Besides, I just want to see what surprises these two little guys can bring."

At this time, the Traveler and Paimon were looking for food that would satisfy Xiao in the inn, running around like two little bees. Lin Huan and Xiao appeared on the terrace on the third floor, and the atmosphere was a little subtle. Lin Huan rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao, what kind of delicious food do you think these two little guys will find to please you? I'm a little curious." Xiao was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "Mortal food doesn't mean much to me." Lin Huan shook his head in disagreement and said, "That's not necessarily true. Sometimes, some small delicacies can bring unexpected warmth."

Xiao frowned slightly, as if thinking about what Lin Huan said. Lin Huan looked at Xiao's expression and smiled secretly in her heart. She knew that although Xiao said he didn't care, he was actually a little curious in his heart. She continued: "Maybe the delicacies found by these two little guys can change your view of mortal food." Xiao still didn't respond, but there was a subtle expectation in his eyes.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes full of smiles. She thought of a little guy on Mount Ao Zang, who came down the mountain to the city and was instantly attracted by the delicious food in Wanmin Hall. He couldn't take his eyes off it, and his eyes were full of joy and tenderness.

Lin Huan folded his hands leisurely in front of his chest, tilted his head slightly, looked at Xiao with a smile, and said in a light tone: "Xiao, do you think those two little guys can really find delicious food that can satisfy you?"

Xiao still stared into the distance quietly, his voice as cold as before: "Immortals should not have too many expectations for mortal food."

Lin Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone: "But there was clearly a hint of expectation in your eyes just now. Don't deny it."

Xiao snorted lightly, with an unnatural look on his face: "Nonsense."

Lin Huan walked around Xiao with great interest, his eyes full of teasing: "Oh my, is Xiao shy? He is obviously a little curious, but he refuses to admit it."

Xiao frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Don't talk nonsense."

Lin Huan's eyes moved flexibly, and he continued, "Think about it, if this delicacy really suits your taste, will you change your opinion of mortal food in the future?"

Xiao was silent for a long time before he slowly said, "An immortal has his duties and should not indulge in the desire for food."

Lin Huan shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, okay, you are always so serious. But, there is nothing wrong in relaxing occasionally."

At this moment, there was a slight movement below. Lin Huan and Xiao looked down at the same time, only to see the two little guys, Traveler and Paimeng, walking up with food carefully, looking a little uneasy and expectant. Lin Huan's smile froze slightly, and her expression instantly became calm and deep, as if a thousand thoughts were flowing through her. She knew the inside story and knew in her heart that this was no longer a time for joking. So, she stood quietly aside, with a solemn expression, concentrating on the development of the next situation.

While Xiao was tasting the food, the traveler whispered about the assassination of Rock King. Xiao's eyes widened slightly when he heard it, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face. He paused for a moment before slowly putting the food down. Although his voice was still steady, it also had a subtle fluctuation: "Rock King... actually encountered this incident. It was really unexpected. Although I know that things in the world are unpredictable, I never thought that the emperor would suffer such a disaster. The seven stars that control the human world... in this matter..." He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Xiao slowly raised his eyes and looked at the traveler. He said in a steady voice, "I already know. I will go find the three True Lords Xueyue, Lishui, and Liuyun. Now, it's time for them to make a decision."

The seriousness and determination in Xiao's words made the traveler's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but ask: "Will the immortal come to take over Liyue?"

Hearing this, Xiao turned slightly and glanced to the side, then answered firmly: "Immortals will not shirk their responsibilities. Although I have my reasons for not wanting to be contaminated by the mortal world, my duties are still my duties. This is because our God is the God of 'Contract'."

At this time, Paimon was thinking about something, digesting the shock brought by Xiao's words. After a moment, Paimon suddenly remembered that he had another question, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute! Don't go yet, I have one last question." Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Hmm?" Paimon asked curiously, "That... Xiao Ming... what exactly is it?" Xiao explained patiently, "When exorcising demons, sometimes you will encounter evil spirits that have never harmed anyone, but it is temporarily difficult to save them. So I asked the 'boss' and the 'shopkeeper' to take them in for a while."

Paimeng suddenly realized, his eyes sparkling, and exclaimed: "So it's Wangshu Inn that's helping to support it! This inn's business scope is really extensive."

As soon as the words were spoken, the terrace fell into silence for a moment. The young lady traveler held her forehead with her hand and looked at her travel companion beside her. Lin Huan, who was standing next to her with a slightly depressed expression due to the serious news he had just heard, could not help but shrug slightly, and felt a little more relaxed.

Miss Traveler took a step forward, bowed slightly and said to Xiao: "Xiao, since the message has been delivered, I will not bother you anymore. See you later."

Xiao nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible concern in his eyes: "Be careful on your journey, and may everything go well for you."

The Traveler and Paimon turned around and prepared to leave. Paimon turned back and waved goodbye to Xiao while flying: "Xiao Shangxian, we will bring you delicious food next time."

Watching the Traveler and Paimon gradually disappearing into the distance, Lin Huan retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao. At this moment, Xiao was still standing quietly on the terrace, looking into the distance, as if thinking about the future of Liyue. Lin Huan sighed and said, "Xiao, I'm afraid the road ahead will not be peaceful."

Hearing the voice of the person next to him, Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes serious and anxious: "A Huan, tell me, do you know something but don't tell me?"

Lin Huan was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She looked at Xiao quietly, secretly guessing what he was thinking. She knew Xiao's sharpness and insight, and also understood his loyalty to the Emperor. If Xiao had been aware of the Emperor's layout, then his actions and decisions might have been different.

After a moment, Xiao sighed softly: "Forget it... I won't ask anymore. Let's go together. The most urgent thing now is to find Xieyue and Lishui."

There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but more of determination. He knew that at this critical moment, action was more important than questioning. They needed to discuss with other immortals to find a response strategy.

Lin Huan pursed her lips slightly, and a complex emotion flashed across her eyes. She looked at Xiao, and a different emotion surged in her heart, like sighing, like relief, and like a mixture of worry and expectation for the future.

She nodded gently and replied, "Okay, let's go, we'll go together."
