In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, my friend doesn't know much about this kind of thing, so there was a problem with the price quote. Please forgive him."

After a while, seeing that Xingqiu had stopped struggling, Chongyun released Xingqiu and apologized to the Great Compassion Tree King.

"What polite people of Liyue, apologizing to themselves again," the Great Tree King couldn't help but think to himself.

She didn't even know what the other person had done wrong before they apologized. It was really uncomfortable for her, a stranger in a foreign land.

The Great Tree King felt that she was not suitable to communicate with the people of Liyue at the moment, as she really couldn't stand their high level of civilization.

"Never mind, I'll go and call the shop owner to talk to you."

The Great Tree King sighed, turned around, and went to call Bai Mu from behind.

Seeing that the Great Compassion Tree King had left, Xingqiu and Chongyun both breathed a sigh of relief.

Xingqiu didn't ask Chongyun why he had covered his mouth earlier, but he could guess the gist of it. It was simply because he had offered too low a price, and Chongyun was afraid something would go wrong, so he did it.

"What did you think of my performance just now?" Xingqiu suddenly asked from next to Chongyun, startling Chongyun's heart, which had just calmed down.

"What did you act out?" Chongyun frantically tried to signal Xingqiu with his eyes, wanting him to stop saying such self-destructive things.

But Xingqiu didn't see through Chongyun's intention and said with a hint of smugness:

"Just now, after I learned that His Majesty was a god, I instantly became serious. How was my performance? Wasn't it good?"

After Xingqiu finished speaking, Chongyun thought to himself:

"It's over."

He took out the notebook he always carried with him from Xingqiu's pocket, and with trembling hands wrote in it:

[That Your Majesty is a deity, and I reckon a very powerful one at that. Do you think what you just said might have been heard by that deity?]

Seeing the words Chongyun had written in his notebook, Xingqiu felt a chill run through him.

He asked Chongyun in a trembling voice:

"I think that Your Majesty is a pretty nice person, right? She probably won't mind what I just said, will she?"

"Don't worry, she's not that petty."

Suddenly, Bai Mu's voice came from the inner room, startling Xing Qiu.

"what!"

He screamed in surprise, clearly quite frightened.

Bai Mu ignored Xing Qiu, who was frightened, and walked straight to Chong Yun beside him.

As Bai Mu approached, Chong Yun suddenly realized that he sensed a familiar aura emanating from Bai Mu.

But Chongyun was certain that he had never seen Bai Mu. This puzzled him, but before he could think about it further, Bai Mu's words rang in his ears.

"A pure yang body? You need that crystal to suppress the pure yang energy within you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chongyun nodded and said:

“That’s right, senior immortal, I do need your crystal. I wonder what I need to do to obtain it.”

He didn't mention buying the crystal, but instead asked how he could obtain it.

Chongyun was very clear about the value of this thing; a "God's Eye" that could be used by anyone was of unimaginable value.

“You’ve got the title wrong. I’m not an immortal. You should call me ‘God Lord’ or ‘Your Majesty’.”

Upon hearing the term "God Lord" from Bai Mu's mouth, Chong Yun suddenly froze. His mind raced, and he realized why he felt a familiar aura from Bai Mu.

Xingqiu, who was next to Chongyun, completely lost his mind after hearing the word "God Lord".

He felt he had been through a lot of stress today and needed to rest and recuperate for a while after returning home.

Having learned from Xiangling that Bai Mu was a celestial being from Liyue, he came here with Chongyun, filled with anticipation of meeting the celestial being.

But to Xingqiu's surprise, not only did he fail to see the immortals, he also made a fool of himself in front of two deities. And one of them was the "God Lord" mentioned by the older generation.

"I apologize, Your Majesty. I learned about you from a friend who is a disciple of an immortal, which is why I thought you were an immortal."

Chongyun explained to Baimu respectfully, "I can't be disrespectful, because many of my family's elders who live in Qingce Village in their old age are believers in Baimu."

If they find out that he failed to recognize the deity in front of him today, and even mistook the deity for an immortal, he will be in deep trouble.

Chongyun was familiar with Baimu's aura because of his ancestors.

Before, when Bai Mu had just left Qing Ce Manor, he used his divine power to create a "rain". Some knowledgeable people or those with their own power collected the rainwater for their subordinates or younger generations to use.

As a direct descendant of an exorcist family, Chongyun also gained some of these benefits. Although he was not a follower of Bai Mu, he had absorbed rainwater mixed with Bai Mu's divine power, which is why he felt that Bai Mu's aura was familiar.

Chongyun's apology was somewhat unexpected by Bai Mu. He was just casually explaining his identity and had no intention of blaming Chongyun at all.

"It's nothing. I was just explaining my identity. I didn't mean to blame you."

Bai Mu gently comforted Chong Yun.

Having confirmed that Bai Mu truly had no intention of blaming him, Chong Yun breathed a sigh of relief. Xing Qiu, who was currently standing quietly beside him, stepped forward and bowed to Bai Mu.

"Your Majesty, my name is Xingqiu. My grandfather is also a devout follower of yours. Every time I visit him in Qingce Village, he praises you as a great and kind deity. Now that I have met you, it is indeed true..."

"Stop."

Shiraki interrupted Xingqiu, who was rambling on, with a single hand.

Bai Mu estimated that if Xing Qiu continued talking like that, an entire afternoon would probably be wasted.

"Let's get down to business first. You want these two crystals, right?"

Bai Mu tossed the two divine power crystals in his hand.

One was created by the Great Tree King, and the other was created by him before.

"That's right, Your Majesty."

Xingqiu nodded repeatedly and looked at Baimu with pitiful eyes.

If someone were unaware of the situation, they might think that this grass crystal was Xingqiu's destiny.

Chongyun, standing next to Xingqiu, nodded shyly.

He wasn't as shameless as Xingqiu. He was too embarrassed to speak like Xingqiu did.

"Since you want it so much, then you can have it."

After speaking, Bai Mu casually tossed two crystals into the air, where they drew a graceful arc. Xingqiu and Chongyun quickly reached out and caught them.

"You got it so easily?"

Chongyun felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He had thought about many possible scenarios before. The worst-case scenario was that he would not gain the "immortal's" approval or would not have any bargaining chips to impress the immortal, and would end up empty-handed.

But to his utter surprise, the crystal was created by the God himself, not by an immortal as he had previously thought.

What surprised him even more was that His Majesty the God directly gave him the crystal.

It felt like a dream.
