Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"Hahaha... Morax... Go help your old friend, I... hahaha... I'm dying of laughter at Blue Sky hahaha..."

Gui Zhong lay on the stone table, clutching his stomach, laughing as he turned to Morax for help.

"Hehe... Old friend, that's enough. If this continues, it will delay our important business."

Morax chuckled and shook his head.

"Fine, fine, I've had enough of acting anyway."

Lan Tian turned his head and responded with a smile, then quickly stood up with a backflip, his entire body forming an extreme inverted C shape.

Lan Tian's fluid and graceful movements left Gui Zhong speechless. He couldn't help but turn to Morax and say:

"Your old friend's movement skills are that good?"

"Pretty much. My old friend is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also extremely powerful in agility and physical techniques. In the sparring session you saw earlier, my old friend, who had lost a weapon, fought against me for half an hour with only a knife and his agility and physical techniques, and he still stood firm."

Morax affirmed the question of the final outcome with an appreciative tone.

"Wow, that's impressive. I never knew Lan Tian was such a good fighter."

Ultimately, he showed a slight reverence for Taoism.

"A mere movement technique is nothing to worry about. Let's continue discussing the alliance. I just heard Morax and Gui Zhong mention the alliance you were going to form. Let me join in."

Lan Tian waved his hand modestly, then sat down at the table with Morax and Gui Zhong to continue discussing the alliance.

Time quickly passed to the next morning.

"So you mean that the demons around you often fight, and their battles sometimes spread to your territory? There were originally more than a dozen demons around you, but now there are only four left. Although the conflicts have decreased, the tension between them is still high. But a hundred years ago, a semi-transparent barrier protected your territory, which made those demons less likely to spy on your territory."

Morax simply repeated what Guiji had said.

"Yes, but I don't know which demon god set up the barrier. The aftershocks of the battle that broke out when you sparred with Lan Tian last time were also blocked by this barrier. Judging from the other party's behavior, he should be a gentle, powerful and kind demon god. I wonder if we can get him to sign a contract with you, Morax."

Gui Zhong replied, pondering and troubled.

"Pfft!"

Lan Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hey? Lantian, what are you laughing at?"

Gui Zhong asked in confusion.

"I never expected Gui Zhong to give me such high praise. I, the God of Asura, am truly flattered."

Lan Tian joked.

"Huh? I don't think I made any comments about you? You're not kidding... wait... Blue Sky? Could it be... what you just meant? Morax, is this for real?"

Gui Zhong was still puzzled by Lan Tian's words, but he quickly realized something and looked at the smiling Lan Tian with disbelief. However, Gui Zhong still looked at Morax, who was also smiling, with a skeptical expression, wanting Morax's answer.

"As you guessed, your old friend is the mastermind behind that barrier, and the semi-transparent barrier that protected your territory a while ago was also his doing. You can ask our client for details."

Morax nodded in affirmation of Gui Zhong's idea, and Blue Sky followed up by saying:

"At that time, I followed Morax's contract invitation and led all my people to join Morax's territory. However, on the way, we encountered the Sandstorm Demon God, who came with ill intentions and came to provoke us. In order to protect my people, I had no choice but to kill him with thunderous means. But I found that your strength was not enough to prevent the aftershocks of the battle, so I helped you out."

After saying that, Lan Tian smiled and looked at Gui Zhong, who was dumbfounded. His mouth was so big that an egg could fit inside it.

"So, the barrier from a while ago was also..."

He could hardly believe it.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Lan Tian said with a half-smile.

"At that time, I could sense that your divine sense did not carry any malice towards me or my old friend, so I used telepathy to have my old friend block the shockwave again."

Morax explained in a timely manner.

"Oh my god! It really is you! Thank you so much, Blue Sky!"

Gui Zhong was so excited that he stood up, reached out and grabbed Lan Tian's right hand, and said gratefully.

"Haha, I had no intention of provoking any conflict, and the other party is a demon god who is not skilled in martial arts. Naturally, I will not take advantage of his misfortune."

Lan Tian smiled and gently patted Gui Zhong's hands, which were holding his right hand, with his other hand, signaling him to let go. Then he continued with a smile:

"And you should also thank Morax. It was Morax who signed a contract with me, which is why I came into this world."

After saying that, Lan Tian raised an eyebrow at Morax.

Morax instantly understood and continued:

"From a generally rational point of view, it was indeed me who first signed the contract with my old friend."

"Really? Well then, thank you, Morax!"

Upon hearing this, Gui Zhong smiled and thanked Morax.

"Now that the atmosphere has reached this point, let's sign an alliance agreement together, with the three of us as witnesses."

As Lan Tian spoke, he took out the three glass lily wreaths, handing the other two wreaths to Morax and Gui Zhong respectively, and said with a smile:

"The glass lilies used in these three wreaths were all constructed by myself; they were not the glass lilies that you painstakingly planted and cared for. Let us now wear this glass lily wreath together as a symbol of our covenant."

Since Lan Tian had revealed to Gui Zhong that he possessed two kinds of demon god authority during their previous chat, Gui Zhong was not surprised by this, but was still shocked.

After all, this was the first time she had ever heard of a demon god possessing two kinds of authority.

"Okay!"

"It's impossible."

The three of them put on glass lily wreaths together and signed their names on the alliance contract drafted by Morax.

From then on, Gui Zhong and his subjects successfully joined the Blue Sky and Morax family!

"Gui Zhong, do you know how beautiful you look wearing the flower wreath?"

Taking advantage of Gui Zhong's good mood, Lan Tian used his divine power to change his voice to Morax's voice and praised him in the same tone.

"Really? Thanks, Morax."

Gui Zhong, caught up in the moment, clearly didn't notice Lan Tian's actions. Instead, he gave Morax a genuine smile and expressed his gratitude.

"Old friend, what you've done..."

Morax transmitted his voice toward the blue sky.

"Morax, haven't you realized that Gui Zhong actually likes you a lot? Shouldn't I help you out?"

Lan Tian's slightly playful voice reached Morax's mind, and at the same time, taking advantage of Gui Zhong's inattention, she winked playfully at Morax with her left eye.

"Hehe... my old friend..."

Morax replied in a slightly helpless voice.

He really couldn't handle Lan Tian and Gui Zhong's personalities; they were both very unconventional.

The three chatted and drank tea for a while longer before Lan Tian finally said goodbye.

"It's getting late, Morax and I need to head back now. There are still some issues in the territory that we need to address."

"That's certainly how it should be."

Morax agreed.

Upon hearing this, the three quickly arrived at the palace gate. Gui Zhong then asked the two with concern:

"Alright, take care on your journey. You and Morax are welcome to visit anytime."

"Don't worry, no demon god on this land dares to provoke either me or Morax. Of course, if they dare to provoke our Guizhong... I wouldn't mind adding another demon god's blood to my blade!"

As he finished speaking, Lan Tian's expression became serious and earnest, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. Morax, standing beside him, also wore a serious expression.

The two men's posture gave Gui Zhong a strong sense of security.

"Hehehe... Then you'd better protect your Guizhong sister, Lantian brother~ and you, Morax."

Gui Zhong was taken aback at first, then felt a warmth in his heart and covered his mouth with a soft laugh.

"Of course. You don't need to see us off now, farewell."

After saying that, Blue Sky and Morax took off together and flew towards their respective territories.

After watching Lan Tian and Morax leave, Gui Zhong turned back to the palace to continue reading the stone tablet books, but a faint smile remained on his lips.
