Zhongli's figure slowly stepped out from behind Osel's throne.

He glanced around gently, and then said in a calm tone: "I'm really willing to invest."

Hearing this, Osel snorted coldly, "Hmph, I can't let you down."

His words revealed his undisguised emotions towards Morax, and he seemed to never bother to suppress his temper in front of him.

These two have very similar temperaments and both have the demeanor of a king.

It’s just that one person rules the earth, and the other dominates the ocean, just like the earth and the ocean, although they both have majestic spirit, they are in different areas and are opposed to each other.

"I'm afraid it's not just because of me."

Zhongli raised his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be filled with thoughts.

Osel responded bluntly, "Of course, your vision has always been poor, and it's rare that you got it right this time."

The words were full of sharpness and edge.

“…They are all just people who go with the flow.”

Osel immediately retorted, "That's unbearable. Why don't you call yourself a hero?"

He knew very well in his heart that even if he encountered the worst outcome, the worst that could happen to him would be death.

Komorax is completely different. Once he fails, the country and millions of people he protects will be destroyed because of him.

Osel's words at this moment were meant to deliberately provoke and disgust the other party.

"...I don't want to argue with you. You should rest for now. I hope you can behave yourself after you get out."

After saying that, he turned and left without any intention of staying.

Osel did not try to persuade him to stay, but just said coldly, "I won't see you off."

When Zhongli walked slowly out of the Seagod Palace along the Imperial Road, Osel seemed to have lost all his strength and squinted his eyes tiredly.

My thoughts drifted away, and I couldn't help but think of all my previous actions. Suddenly, an indescribable uneasiness welled up in my heart, and my originally firm determination became a little shaky at this moment.

However, things had come to this point, and he knew he could no longer stop.

"Bache."

he called softly.

At some point, Ba Che had quietly sat on the throne. When she heard Osel calling her, she gently stretched out her hands, supported Osel's head, and gently let him fall onto her legs.

"I am sorry."

Osel whispered.

Ba Che did not say much, but just quietly massaged Osel's temples with his hands.

The corners of Osel's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile. At this moment, he silently hoped that everything would develop in a good direction.

……

"Um, is the welcome ceremony so grand?"

Lei Dianshi jumped out of the sea with joy, but the scene before him made him a little stunned.

He saw warships lined up majestically, with the black muzzles of their guns and crossbows with taut strings all aimed at him. The wreckage of warships was floating on the sea, making it a mess.

Meanwhile, at the Solitary Cloud Pavilion, numerous Qianyan Army soldiers were also on high alert, aiming their Guizhongji weapons steadily in his direction.

Lei Dianshi slowly landed in front of Ningguang and asked what was going on.

At this moment, Ningguang may have realized that this seemed to be a misunderstanding, and ordered the Qianyan Army to stop its attack preparations.

"I wonder what Mr. Kanpaku was doing on the seabed just now?"

"Yeah~ sleep."

Lei Dian Shi answered without hesitation. This was not entirely a lie. After all, he seemed to be in a sleeping state for most of the time, and the boundary between action and stillness was blurred.

"…Is there any unusual movement on the seabed?"

"No."

"Okay, it seems it was a misunderstanding."

Ningguang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a slightly apologetic smile, and then gently waved her hand to signal the troops to withdraw.

Keqing, who had been following Ningguang, gave Lei Dian Shi a dissatisfied look when she passed by him.

Afterwards, Ganyu, Shenhe and Sha Luo ran over quickly.

"what happened?"

Seeing that the Qianyan Army had gradually left, Lei Dianshi asked.

"Well... let me explain."

Sara thought that Senior Sister Shen He was not good at speaking, and it might not be appropriate for Ganyu, as an official from Liyue, to come forward to explain, so he took the initiative to speak.

"After His Majesty left last night, everything was initially calm and peaceful. However, not long after, the Thousand Rocks Army arrived to report a significant disturbance on the sea."

"Upon hearing the news, the Tianquan Star immediately assembled the Qianyan Army. After a thorough investigation, they discovered something stirring beneath the sea. Of course, we now know it was Your Majesty's doing."

"We deployed our forces for a long time above the sea, but nothing happened for a long time. Only thunderclouds gradually gathered in the sky. At that time, I began to speculate that all this commotion was caused by you, Your Excellency. However, I found it difficult to express this to Qixing and the others."

"We waited patiently until just now, when suddenly, roars erupted from the seabed. Fierce lightning flashed through the surface of the sea into our eyes from time to time, making us dazed and distracted. Several warships were instantly shattered by the lightning. However, although the lightning was fierce, it seemed that it could not hurt anyone intentionally or unintentionally. After quickly rescuing the soldiers who fell into the water, Tianquanxing ordered the warships to temporarily withdraw from the sea area."

"I thought it was the beginning of a great war, but it turned out to be the end. Soon, the lightning gradually faded, the sky gradually cleared, and the warship slowly sailed back. Then, the scene you, Your Majesty, experienced occurred."

"Oh~ Anyway, it's okay."

"You can say that."

After thinking for a moment, Sara responded, indeed, apart from spending some money and causing the fishermen to lose some income, there were no other serious consequences. And the money was not paid by His Majesty, but was silently borne by Ningguang.

"Xiao Shenhe, Ganyu, don't leave yet. Come back to the embassy with me."

"Ah."

Shen He looked calm and had no objection. However, Gan Yu, who possessed the innate holy body of an ox or horse, looked extremely conflicted.

"It won't be long, just take it as a break."

Lei Dianshi looked at Ganyu and thought to himself that Liyue was really full of talented people. He really wanted to "kidnap" Ganyu to Inazuma, but the hope of success was quite slim.

After returning to the embassy, ​​Lei Dianshi gathered everyone together, and then enthusiastically showed off the many gadgets he had purchased before.

Among the pile of items, there were clothes of various styles and high-quality materials.

There are beautifully bound novels, some telling fantastic adventures, some depicting lingering love stories.

There are also those jewels that sparkle with brilliant light, with gold, silver, jade and stones complementing each other, and the exquisite carving craftsmanship is fully displayed.

Not to mention toys and weapons...

In addition, there are some items that Lei Dian Shi bought from Aha at a very reasonable price. Although they are not extremely expensive, they are full of thought.

"Sala,"

"You can distribute these things to the people below. If anyone can't find something they like, just give it to them directly."

"God, please pass these on to the people in the Hall of Rebirth."

"Ganyu, I'll leave these to you to deliver to Qixing."

Lei Dianshi arranged each gift in an orderly manner, and he really spent a lot of time selecting these items.

Just like Ningguang, she is already accustomed to all kinds of precious calligraphy and exquisite toys, and it is not surprising for her to receive so many of them.

So, Lei Dian Shi specially got a life-size stone amber Ningguang statue made in a ten to one ratio from Aha for free.

Who said there are no statues in Liyue?

Won’t it be there after this statue is given to Ningguang?

I believe Ningguang will definitely place it in the most conspicuous place, either on top of the Jade Pavilion so that every guest who comes to the Jade Pavilion can see it at a glance, or build a small island on the Yunlai Sea to specifically house this unique statue, making it another eye-catching landscape in Liyue.

As for Aben, he seemed to have little interest in anything in the world.

After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that Shen Zi had written a novel about A Beng, which might attract some of A Beng's attention.

So he hurriedly made a copy of the novel and prepared to give it to Aben.

You asked what this meant, and Lei Dian Shi only smiled mysteriously. But it all depends on what A Beng can read from it...

"Eula, try this dress on."

Lei Dianshi handed a small box to Eula with a smile on his face. Eula took the box and turned to walk towards the room with a hint of curiosity and doubt.

However, just as Eula turned around, Lei Dianshi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if a cold gaze was piercing his back.

He subconsciously turned his head slightly, but found that for some reason, the people present seemed to have suddenly remembered that they still had many things to deal with.

Look, their eyes begin to wander around, and their feet move slowly and unconsciously, as if everything around them has become extremely interesting, waiting for them to explore. They are muttering to themselves, words like "This gift is really unique" and "Oh, I have something urgent over there, I'll leave first".

"Ying, you have it too. How could I forget you? Come, try it on and see for yourself. You'll definitely look stunning."

Lei Dianshi pretended to be calm, raised his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat, and then picked up a small box with both hands and handed it to Ying.

Well... the items in this box are not the ones I bought from Igor.

Ying lowered his head slightly, his eyes lingering on the gift in his hand for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at Lei Dianshi.

Finally, she nodded slightly, turned and walked into the room.

"call--"

Seeing that everyone had gradually dispersed, Lei Dianshi finally breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to gently pat his waist.

Thinking back to when old Zhongli had given him acupuncture treatment, the aftereffects left behind troubled him for a long time.

Fortunately, after this swim in the sea, the sequelae finally subsided.

He pondered inwardly, wondering if it was just his imagination, but he felt his waist was much better than before. Of course, it wasn't that the weakness had improved, but rather that it was actually more flexible and stronger than before.

His eyes accidentally caught sight of the set of clothes that Qianhu had prepared for himself.

Lei Dianshi's mind moved, and he no longer hesitated. He turned around and quickly looked for an empty room.

His heart was full of anticipation, as if he had already seen how handsome he would look in that outfit. He secretly thought that the child who was about to be born would definitely be the most eye-catching person in the embassy!

"Deng Deng..."

In the room, Lei Dianshi studied for a long time, and finally, he slowly pushed open the door.

She wore a dark purple battle robe, a wide dark purple belt around her waist, and a dark blue thunder stone. Her purple hair was tied up, and a dark purple tassel swayed at her left ear. Round-framed sunglasses obscured her eyes, making it difficult to read her emotions.

He walked over, pretending to be cool and arrogant, with a purple aura around him.

At this moment, what was surging in Lei Dianshi's heart were just three simple and straightforward words - I'm so handsome!

Looking at Eula and Ying over there, they were already dressed neatly and looking at each other quietly.

The moment Lei Dianshi stepped out of the room, they all turned to look at him simultaneously, as if by telepathy. A faint, barely perceptible flicker of jealousy flashed across Eula's eyes.

The reason is simple. The color tones of Lei Dianshi and Lei Dianying are almost the same, both are the deep and charming purple, but she herself is a unique silver-white, which seems a bit out of place in this contrast.

Ying keenly caught the subtle change in Eula's expression. A smug look like a victorious chicken suddenly appeared on her delicate face. She even raised her head slightly unconsciously, as if silently declaring some kind of victory.

Lei Dianshi suddenly felt as if he had inadvertently entered a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

Eula and Ying both care very much about their status in his heart. He wants to have a harem and enjoy the happiness of having many women, but now this harem is showing signs of being on fire.

If you want to calm down this storm, you must have someone who can suppress them, the so-called master of the harem.

In his mind, neither Eula nor Ying are suitable candidates. He needs to find someone who is calm, wise and generous enough to take on this important task. Yes, that's right, Zhen.

Therefore, Lei Dianshi planned to find a suitable opportunity to listen to Zhen's thoughts.

In addition, he also realized that he must promote Eula's integration into their group. Only in this way can the relationship that seems calm but is actually undercurrents be eased.

"Ahem, do you think I'm handsome?"

Lei Dian Shi cleared his throat and asked with a hint of anticipation and confidence.

"Very handsome!"

Eula and Ying looked at each other almost at the same moment, and then answered in unison. The speed of their answers was equally fast, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand.

"Uh, you can't just brush me off because of the little conflict between you sisters. I'll be sad." Lei Dianshi grumbled pretending to be aggrieved.

Eula and Ying looked at each other again, and this time, there were several different emotions in their eyes.

“Very pretentious!”

"..."

This answer... is very unfair.

"Hahaha--"

"Aha, laugh at your sister."

"Aha doesn't have a sister, nor does he laugh at his sister. The one Aha is laughing at is Shishi. He's so pretentious~ Haha..."

Ah Ha was still laughing so hard that he was bent over, which made Lei Dianshi angry and helpless, and he felt very depressed.

I am so angry!
