Even someone as learned as him never imagined that Lin Qiu could even exchange lifespan through the system.

“The lifespan of a demon god is very long; you can become a god if you wish,” Zhongli said.

Lin Qiu knew that the owners of the Eye of God were all 'Original Gods'.

However, Lin Qiu had no intention of becoming a god. After becoming a god, wouldn't he just have to work for the Heavenly Principles? And working was out of the question.

“Often, wear and tear will come first, rather than the end of life,” Zhong Li continued.

Ruoduo, whose lifespan was almost infinite, forgot many things due to 'wear and tear', and Zhongli was not sure whether 'the original him' was still 'alive'.

Lin Qiu nodded. Wear and tear is something imposed on Teyvat life by the laws of nature; Lin Qiu does not have it.

However, if he experiences too many unhappy things, given his memory, he will likely suffer a lot in the future, unable to sleep at night because he will be able to recall the events.

That's why Lin Qiu wanted to try his best to make up for some regrets and make his memories more beautiful.

"Sigh, did I remind you of something unpleasant?" Lin Qiu noticed Zhong Li looking in Ruo Tuo's direction and realized he was thinking of Ruo Tuo.

Lin Qiu couldn't resist touching her head, but Zhong Li wasn't as petite as those girls, so her height was just right for touching her head.

Zhongli was a bit taller, so raising his arm wasn't as comfortable or natural. So he simply reached out and patted Zhongli's shoulder.

"Don't be sad, there might be a way to save Naga King Ruoduo in the future."

Given Zhongli's temperament, he naturally wouldn't care about Lin Qiu's behavior. Lin Qiu had often put his arm around him in the Rebirth Hall before, so he was more concerned about something else.

"So you did know about Ruoda..."

As they were talking, two women came out from behind, but Gui Zhong was not seen.

"Was it successful?" Lin Qiu asked. The result of this first experiment was also very important to him.

Zhongli didn't ask, because he could already sense his old friend's presence.

Sure enough, Xianyun and Gechen turned slightly to the side, and Guizhong was standing right behind them.

It's just that Gui Zhong is too small, and his figure was blocked by the two mature women just now.

Gui Zhong had long gray hair, which looked like shoulder-length hair. The hair above her shoulders was loose, while the hair below her shoulders was tied up with hairpins.

She was wearing a white dress with blue accents and long sleeves, and she was barefoot.

Gui Zhong smiled happily, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and she raised her two small hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, to wave and greet everyone.

"Hello, my savior!"

"Return to the End?" Lin Qiu was also very happy. He liked Return to the End, and Return to the End's 'resurrection' proved that this method was indeed feasible.

"Um... I'm sorry, you were the one who saved me, but I can't remember who you are..."

Gui Zhong's tone was somewhat apologetic. Their long sleeves touched, and their small hands clasped together through their clothes.

Liu Yun and Ge Chen only talked to her about the general situation and did not go into detail about Lin Qiu before bringing Gui Zhong out.

After all, Zhongli and Lin Qiu were still waiting outside, and it wouldn't be appropriate for the three of them to stay inside and reminisce.

“It’s normal that you don’t remember him, since you two had no connection,” Liu Yun explained.

"Huh? We don't know each other?" Gui Zhong was slightly surprised. We don't know each other, so why did he save me?

“I know you, but you don’t know me,” Lin Qiu said.

"Huh?" Gui Zhong felt that his mind was still a little unclear.

The unfortunate way she was resurrected caused her to forget many things, and her strength was only at the level of an ordinary holder of the Eye of God.

The reason I can't understand it now is probably because of the effects of the resurrection, right?

However, she still remembered the immortals Xianyun and Gechen, as well as some things that left a deep impression on her, and naturally she would not forget her own identity and experiences.

Gui Zhong moved closer to Lin Qiu, tilting his little head left and right to observe, even twitching his little nose slightly, as if trying to confirm Lin Qiu's presence.

"If I touch you, you won't be angry, will you?" Gui Zhong asked.

"No." Lin Qiu shook his head.

Upon hearing Lin Qiu's reply, Gui Zhong extended a finger from her long sleeve and touched Lin Qiu.

This series of actions gave Lin Qiu a strong sense of déjà vu. Isn't this Hu Tao? A polite version of Hu Tao?

"Is your aura that of a mortal?" Gui Zhong asked, somewhat uncertain.

Even after confirming it repeatedly, Gui still couldn't quite believe it. Could a mere mortal really possess the ability to resurrect a demon god?

Has humanity evolved to this extent over the past thousand years?

"I am indeed still a mortal." Lin Qiu nodded.

"Don't talk about me, do you remember this old guy?" Lin Qiu pointed at Zhong Li.

Gui Zhong looked at Zhong Li, who was tilting his head, and asked, "Morax?"

Ultimately, I feel that Morax gives off a completely different vibe than before.

In addition, Zhongli had been concealing his aura, so Guizhong didn't notice his identity at first.

"Long time no see, old friend. My name is now Zhongli." Zhongli smiled.

“Oh, Zhongli? Hmm...not bad either.” Gui Zhong nodded, resting his chin on his long sleeves.

"It's so good to see you all again. Oh, right, Mora... Zhongli, when I just opened my eyes, I saw Ge Chen crying."

It's quite rare to see the True Lord of Gechenlang City cry.

"Oh? Really?" Zhongli looked at Ge Chen.

“It’s true, I saw it too.” Liu Yun nodded.

"That's just because the resurrection of the Dust Demon God stirred up too much dust, making him squint," Ge Chen smiled.

"Why are you making it sound like they're dirty!" Gui Zhong complained.

As the Demon God of Dust, she is practically spotless! Although she runs around barefoot, her feet never get dirty.

Character Voice Lines - Song Dust: About Lin Qiu

"I am very grateful to him. I already owe him a debt of gratitude for helping Liyue fight against Oser, and now he has 'resurrected' Guizhong. Sigh, I really don't know how I can repay this debt of gratitude."

Chapter 121 It's all because of touching heads

The group chatted and laughed, clearly in high spirits over Gui Zhong's 'resurrection'.

After spending some time talking with Gui Zhong, Lin Qiu discovered that Gui Zhong and Hu Tao were indeed quite similar in some ways.

They are all talkative, lively, and petite. The difference might be that they are not as mischievous as Hu Tao, but they seem to be just as playful with familiar people.

When the group returned to Liyue, a new problem arose: where would Gui Zhong live?

After discussion, since Liu Yun, A Ping, and Zhong Li all chose to live in Liyue Harbor, Gui Zhong also wanted to stay in Liyue Harbor.

Without a doubt, in the end everyone decided that Gui Zhong should also move into Lin Qiu's house.

Since Lin Qiu was going to teach Shen He basics about human society anyway, he might as well add another lesson on returning to the end.

In the end, even Ge Chen decided to move to Lin Qiu's house, since Liu Yun, Zhong Li, and Gui Zhong all lived there.

Lin Qiu said, "I have no objection... what a load of rubbish!"

After the expansion, there will only be six rooms in total. It's just right for one more person, but if both of you move in, where will I go?

It seems this problem still needs to be solved by the lovely headmaster... Lin Qiu decided to 'call' Hu Fupo.

Several immortals have already begun building their own little houses in Lin Qiu's home; the six rooms can be described as having six different styles.

There's not much to say about Lin Qiu's room except that it's full of books, mostly light novels.

Shen He's room was the simplest, with few decorations and just a few photos taken at Qunyu Pavilion.

Ying moved to a new room, which was sparsely furnished because she had been out adventuring and hadn't returned yet.

Zhongli's room is full of antiques, Liuyun's are inventions, Gechen's are musical instruments, and Guizhong is temporarily sharing a room with Gechen.

The group was playing 'Minecraft' and decorating the room at Lin Qiu's house when Ying and Shen He, who had just returned home, were dumbfounded.

I went out for a while, and when I came back, there were two women in the house.

I know Xianyun and the others, but who are the other two?

"Lin Qiu, what's going on?!" Paimon flew to Lin Qiu's side.

"Why has the house gotten so much bigger! Can we grow some good food in that empty space over there?" Paimon pointed to an empty space, his eyes gleaming.

They were out adventuring during this time and didn't even know that their house had been expanded.

“Paimon, isn’t it more concerning to have two more people than this?” Ying said.

Shen He nodded. She could sense that one of them was a celestial being, but she was not familiar with the other one.

"Let me introduce you, this is Granny Ping." Lin Qiu pulled over Ge Chenlang City True Monarch.

"?"

"?"

Paimon and the traveler had question marks above their heads.

The woman in front of me had long, bluish-green hair tied up. Apart from the kind smile on her lips, how did she resemble Grandma Ping at all?

Is Grandma Ping the same Grandma Ping we know? Has she changed too much?

"Hello everyone," A-Ping greeted with a smile. It seemed that after regaining her youthful appearance, her mindset had also become youthful.

“Yanfei will be back in a few days, and then we can make the ‘Dust Song Pot’ for you. At that time, Paimeng can grow whatever he wants to eat,” Aping said.

"It really is Grandma Ping!" Paimon exclaimed. "Oh no, it's Sister Ping now?"

“Paymon can be called whatever he wants.” Ping reached out and patted Paymon’s head.

“This is exactly what Grandma Ping said!” Paimon was even more convinced.

Once everyone learned that this was Grandma Ping, their initial awkwardness disappeared.

Ying looked at another beautiful woman, and at this moment Gui Zhong also looked at Ying with curiosity.

Gui Zhong raised his two hands in front of his chest, his long sleeves hanging down naturally, making him look like a ghost or a rabbit.

Having just been 'resurrected', Guizhong spent his journey catching up with old friends, and naturally, it wasn't uncommon for the traveler to be mentioned.

But she didn't have time to read Lin Qiu's books, so she was still relatively unfamiliar with Ying, only knowing that such a person existed.

“This is the end,” Lin Qiu said.

Gui Zhong's movements resembled those of a cute little rabbit, making Lin Qiu want to pat her head as he introduced her.

But since they had only known each other for a short time, Lin Qiu reached out his hand but did not put it down.

Gui finally sensed Lin Qiu's movement and tiptoed, nudging Lin Qiu's hand with his head.

Then he greeted everyone, saying, "Hello."

Lin Qiu was stunned for a moment. "Holy crap, who in the family would understand? She touched my hand with her head! She took advantage of me!"

The thought that followed was a joke, but Lin Qiu was genuinely stunned; he never expected Gui Zhong to do such a thing.

Gui did this not because he particularly liked Lin Qiu, but simply because of his personality.

This wouldn't work with Gan Yu, who is the type who gets more shy the closer the relationship is.

Even if you touch her first, she'll be shy for a long time, let alone take the initiative.

"This is Shen He," Lin Qiu continued.

Shen He stared at Lin Qiu expressionlessly, then slowly walked towards Lin Qiu.

Just as Lin Qiu was wondering why Shen He was staring at him so intently, Shen He walked up to Lin Qiu.

"Thank you," Shen He said. She had also read Lin Qiu's story.

Lin Qiu smiled faintly, patted Shen He's head, and said nothing.

"Hello," Shen He greeted Gui Zhong.
