Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the sun and moon shone brightly, and blood rain fell silently. A child stood in the rain, muttering, "It was you, it was you... you killed him. I will make you pay for it with your whole life." His voice was filled with murderous intent and a tearing roar.

The sound of the rain washed away the blood on the floor, and also washed away the anger in the child's heart. As the thunder roared, the child raised the knife in his hand and waved it in the air, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes and injustice. The thunder grew louder and louder, and the child's voice spread through the air.

"It was you...it was you...you killed him. It was you..."

"It wasn't me...it wasn't..."

Zhao Chuan's face showed fear as he shouted loudly.

"Host, you had a nightmare."

With system notifications nearby.

Zhao Chuan immediately woke up from his dream, looking at himself still in the meditation space, panting heavily.

"Why would I have such a dream? Is it a memory, or something that will happen in the future?"

Zhao Chuan pressed his hands to his head and muttered to himself.

"Host, system reminder... The remnants of the demon god have been almost completely cleared away. You should wake up now."

The system displayed Zhao Chuan's physical condition in front of him.

I will not seek a dwelling place...

"you're awake……"

Standing in front of Zhao Chuan was a woman with a slender figure and a tall stature.

"Where am I...?"

Zhao Chuan rubbed his forehead, his head throbbing from the nightmare he had just experienced.

"This is Bubulu,"

"Hello, just call me Yelan. Thank you for your help to Liyue. Anyway, let's get along well."

Ye Lan stretched out a hand towards Zhao Chuan, which hovered in the air.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Chuan... I'm from the mountains. You don't need to thank me for saving her. I just didn't want such a pretty girl to get hurt."

Zhao Chuan also reached out and grasped Ye Lan's fair hand. With Ye Lan's help, Zhao Chuan got up from the sickbed.

"Since you're feeling much better, come with me to the Jade Pavilion."

Ye Lan shook her arm and said to Zhao Chuan.

"Ah... what pavilion?"

Zhao Chuan scratched his head in confusion and asked.

"follow me……"

Half an hour later... at Qunyu Pavilion...

"Ningguang! He's awake. I've brought him here. You can talk to him about the rest."

Ye Lan pushed open a door, walked to Ning Guang's side and said something, then waved for Zhao Chuan to come in.

"I'm tired, I'm going to go to sleep."

She stretched, revealing the curves of her body to Zhao Chuan. After speaking, she brushed past Zhao Chuan and left.

"Cough cough..."

Ningguang cleared her throat as she sat down in the chair.

Zhao Chuan came to his senses.

"My name is Zhao Chuan. I was unaware of Lord Tianquan Star's past offenses. Please forgive me."

Zhao Chuan clasped his hands together and lowered his head with a slightly apologetic expression.

"Don't worry about it. I've seen how much you've helped Liyue. You don't need to care about my identity."

Ningguang stood up from her seat and walked to Zhao Chuan's side.

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, known as 'Tianquan'."

"In view of your help to Liyue yesterday, I will grant you one request, and I will do my best to fulfill it."

Ningguang waved her hand, and several pieces of jade floated in her palm. As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Zhao Chuan's gentle face, and she could detect even the slightest false expression.

But after staring at Zhao Chuan for a long time, his admiration turned into respect, and now it turned into surprise, because Zhao Chuan had heard about yesterday.

"What?! Yesterday?! How long was I unconscious?!"

Zhao Chuan's smile was shattered at this moment.

Thinking to himself, "Damn it, that evil doctor, he actually kept me unconscious for so long."

"Hmm, one day, what's wrong? What's with that expression? It's good that you're not dead."

Ningguang was then puzzled.

"Cough cough, it's nothing. I've been cultivating immortal techniques in the deep mountains, so I can barely resist the remnants of a demon god. Fortunately, this demon god didn't have much anger in his previous life."

Zhao Chuan explained.

"Is that so? Cultivating immortal techniques... that doesn't seem wrong."

Ningguang thought about it for a moment and reluctantly agreed with Zhao Chuan's point of view.

"Lady Ningguang, since you can grant me one request, can you grant me anything?"

Zhao Chuan forced himself to ask.

"As long as it doesn't break the law, I can satisfy you."

Ningguang kept her eyes fixed on Zhao Chuan as she answered.

"Then I would like to invite Lady Ningguang on a date with me..."

Zhao Chuan spoke without hesitation.

"What, a date..."

Ningguang hadn't expected him to make such a request. In her mind, he would either want money, a way to make money, or... He was acting out of the ordinary, leaving her at a loss.

"What's wrong? This request doesn't seem to violate the law! Lady Ningguang won't go back on her word, will she?"

Zhao Chuan smiled slightly and said, feigning composure.

"Okay, please wait here for me for a moment while I go back to my room to tidy up."

Ningguang gritted her teeth and agreed. She politely greeted Zhao Chuan and then walked towards her room.

Half an hour later...

"Let's go, Mr. Zhao Chuan."

Ningguang came out of the room and looked at Zhao Chuan, who was still in a daze in the tea room, and said.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Chuan ended his meditation, glanced at Ning Guang, and slowly walked over.

"Tear! Lady Ningguang, what have you been doing in there for so long? You didn't even change your clothes!"

Zhao Chuan looked Ning Guang up and down, but couldn't figure out anything.

"Of course she touched up her makeup, didn't you notice?"

Ningguang gently touched her cheek and asked in confusion.

"Miss Ningguang is beautiful whether she wears makeup or not."

Zhao Chuan put on a smiling face and said with a grin.

"Ha, glib-tongued..."

Ningguang looked at Zhao Chuan, whose personality had suddenly changed, and was a little at a loss.

He was so serious just now, but now he's acting like a child.

After a period of playful banter...

The two arrived at the road to [Feiyunpo].

Seeing the bustling scene on the street, Zhao Chuan was also very happy.

"I haven't seen a scene like this in a long time. It feels like ages have passed."

Zhao Chuan sighed.

As Ningguang walked down the street, she was immediately surrounded by onlookers.

The girl, her face beaming with excitement, exclaimed, "Wow, Lady Ningguang, you've arrived!"

A serious-looking merchant asked, "Lord Ningguang, could you point out whether this trade route is feasible?"

The kind old man said, "Lord Ningguang, I don't have anything to give you, but you can take these farm eggs back and eat them."

Zhao Chuan smiled wryly to himself, "This situation is a bit difficult to handle."

"Fellow citizens, I have seen your enthusiasm, but I have important matters to discuss today. Please go about your business. If there is any emergency, please contact Qianyan Army. Thank you for your cooperation."

Ningguang was already used to this kind of situation and handled it very skillfully.

"Everyone, disperse. See that young man behind Ningguang? Today is his home turf, so let's not bother him any longer."

A businessman who was very sensible suddenly said something, and everyone wentssiping about it.

Seeing that everyone was busy with their own things, Ningguang prepared to leave with Zhao Chuan.

Suddenly, a Thousand Rocks soldier arrived, panting as he shouted towards Ningguang.

"Lady Ningguang, I'm so glad I met you here. The docks... there are monsters over there."

The soldier ran up to Ningguang; it was clear he had been running for a long time to report to the officer.

"What? We'll head there right away. You go and inform the other senior executives first."

Ningguang immediately became serious. She knew that the docks were the sole source of income for Liyue Harbor and could not be allowed to be damaged.

"Ningguang, there's no need for that. Leave this to me, I'll handle it."

Zhao Chuan then stepped forward, waved his hand, patted his chest, and said...

"You?? No, that's not the Fools. You don't have the Eye of God, and you can't control the elemental forces. It's very dangerous."

Ningguang's doubts were tinged with worry. Seeing that he was about to leave, she immediately grabbed Zhao Chuan's hand, not wanting him to go.

"Ningguang, trust me, I know some immortal techniques, so I can still deal with the demons."

Zhao Chuan slapped away Ning Guang's fair hand and said.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Ningguang didn't want this boy, who had just incurred a favor and was about to incur another, to take a risk.

"Soldier, go and inform the higher-ups immediately. He and I will go ahead."

Ningguang turned around and said seriously.

After the soldiers left, Zhao Chuan put his arm around Ning Guang's waist, and Ning Guang instinctively tried to break free.

"Ningguang, don't move, let's go and take care of this quickly."

Ningguang was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Chuan's words. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already in the air.

"How is this possible! He actually..."

Ningguang glanced at the man in front of her, who was making a hand seal and floating high in the air.

Zhao Chuan then saw that soldiers were fighting against monsters on a dock.

He flicked his fingers and made a hand seal, dispersing his spiritual power to the ground.

"I apologize, Ningguang. Time is of the essence, so I had to resort to this measure. I apologize for being presumptuous."

Zhao Chuan released Ningguang from his arms and said somewhat shyly.

"It's alright. The most important thing now is to defeat these monsters."

Ningguang placed her hand on her abdomen and said with a slightly serious expression.

"Soldiers, leave this to us. Assist the people in evacuating and reduce casualties."

Ningguang shouted to the Thousand Rock Army, who were fighting against the monsters.

Soon after... the soldiers and civilians all left, and the scene instantly became quiet. Apart from the buildings and goods destroyed by the monsters, there was not much damage.

At this moment, there was no one left on the dock except for Zhao Chuan.

"These monsters are really troublesome..."

Zhao Chuan stepped back to create distance between himself and the monster.

"They seem tireless and can keep playing."

Ningguang hurled a string of jade stones at the demons, but they were not harmed at all. They were just going crazy, destroying goods and attacking Zhao Chuan and his group.

"Let's finish this quickly, Ningguang! Step back."

Zhao Chuan raised his hand and blocked Ning Guang behind him.

"Are you going to face so many monsters all by yourself?"

Ningguang grabbed his arm, intending to put it down.

"We can't let Liyue Harbor suffer any more losses. I don't have time to explain. Can you trust me?"

Zhao Chuan looked firmly into Ning Guang's eyes.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Ningguang had no choice but to leave. Suddenly, she saw several shells coming towards them.

"Little tricks!"

In that instant, Ningguang conjured a barrier with her fingers, blocking all the cannonballs.

Zhao Chuan also realized what was happening and looked over to see an abyss mage, accompanied by a ruins guard, suddenly appearing at the port.

"This, ice on the sea... these monsters even have this kind of intelligence."

Zhao Chuan was also very troubled by this.

Ningguang was indeed very calm, and she could roughly guess that the monster did not come on its own, but was controlled by someone.

"Ningguang, thank you. Now I'll take over."

After Zhao Chuan finished speaking, he raised one hand and unfolded it, gathering spiritual energy in his palm, and a knife slowly appeared.

Ningguang also stood at the back, and seeing this scene, her curiosity about Zhao Chuan grew even stronger.

"This is not elemental power, what kind of power is this?"

As the knife appeared, a tigerfish-eating knife was held in Zhao Chuan's hand.

"System, open the skill book shop."

Zhao Chuan muttered to himself.

"Yes, host..."

The system automatically opened the online store and floated to Zhao Chuan's side.

"Yes, this is it. System, redeem it, 'Thunder Shadow - Blink'."

Zhao Chuan glanced at it and immediately exchanged for the first cultivation technique in the first row.

"Okay, host. The redemption of 2,000 points for 'Thunder Shadow - Blink' has been completed. This technique is currently on sale. Purchase and gift it. 'Ink Thunder Miracle' has been automatically learned and mastered."

In an instant, Zhao Chuan knew how to use it.

"bring it on,"

Zhao Chuan shouted loudly, and the vibration of his voice attracted the attention of the monster.

A large number of Hilichurls and Hilichurl mobs attacked Zhao Chuan.

"Well done... Murray! One strike!"

Zhao Chuan gripped his sword, raised it to his chest, and slashed forward. A clang rang out from the blade's tip, and a terrifying, ink-white bolt of lightning transformed into a sword aura. Wherever it passed, nothing grew; instantly, the demons charging in front of him were electrocuted and charred black.

In just a few seconds, only the Abyss Mage and the Ruin Guard remained on the field.

The abyss mage instantly hid behind the ruins guard and began chanting a spell.

In an instant, a large chunk of ice materialized out of thin air and hurtled towards Zhao Chuan.

"Whoosh, Raikage! Blink!"

Just as the ice block was about to hit him, Zhao Chuan transformed into a jet-white electric current and vanished from the spot, leaving only a jet-white afterimage of a tiger-eating fish knife.

Then, he flashed three times in a row, and while the Abyss Mage was still chanting, Zhao Chuan had already arrived behind him.

"The Miracle of Molei!"

Zhao Chuan shouted, grabbed the large ice ball in front of him, and the lightning in his hand and the lightning under his feet instantly illuminated the entire battlefield with white light.

As the white light faded, all the demons collapsed to the ground. Zhao Chuan pointed to the places where the light had flashed, leaving behind several afterimages of tiger-eating fish knives. With a gentle lift, those afterimages instantly floated up. Zhao Chuan swung them backward, and the knives flew without hesitation towards a distant cliff.

Ningguang understood immediately upon seeing this and sent people to check the cliff over there.

"Now it seems like I owe you a favor again."

Ningguang expressed her helplessness...

"Okay, let's go. We'll leave this to the soldiers."

Zhao Chuan sheathed his knife, pressed his wrist, and said.

"Okay, you've been playing for so long, you must be tired. Let me take you to eat."

Ningguang placed her hand on her chest and said.

Then they walked towards the New Moon Pavilion...

When they reached the bridge, a girl with pigtails walked over.

"Lady Ningguang, you're here."

A girl wearing a dark red cheongsam walked over and said.

"What's wrong, Baishi?"

Ningguang spoke with a hint of gentleness.

“Lord Ningguang, while I was sorting through the events, I noticed that you recently turned down some things, which have now accumulated to thirty-eight. Adding some less important ones, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-eight. Most importantly, because of the Fatui Clan, you also postponed the auction.”

Bai Shi explained from the side.

"Well... let's postpone it for today. There are more important things to do here. This is a contract and an agreement. Bai Shi, go and organize it and list the important things for tomorrow."

Ningguang rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought.

"Yes, Lady Ningguang."

After listening, Bai Shi left.

"Looks like Ningguang, you really have a lot of work to do!"

Zhao Chuan joked from the side.

"It's nothing, it's just work. Coming out with you is also part of my job."

Ningguang said.
