Thanks for the invitation! I am in hell and have just become a demon king.

Chen casually created a secret book about the Yin and Yang of Shenzhou in Liyue language and stuffed it into Hu Tao's hand.

"That's right, Chen, you're much smarter than Zhongli. You even knew to give your boss a gift on the first day."

"Unlike Zhongli, who hasn't even given this hall master a small gift in such a long time."

"I will remember your contribution. You will be the next deputy head of the Wangsheng Hall."

Hu Tao was overjoyed when she heard this. Not only did she praise Chen in a condescending manner, she also skillfully painted a big rosy picture for Chen.

Zhongli: ………………

The three women standing beside him looked like they wanted to laugh but were too embarrassed to do so, leaving Zhongli speechless.

"Zhongli, you should also learn some social etiquette from your friends."

What are you learning? Are you learning how to give gifts to please this quirky little girl so that I can get a promotion and a raise?

He was here to slack off, not to work.

Besides, Emperor Geo has seen so much about the ways of the world in the past six thousand years in Liyue. Does he still need to learn anything?

"Yes, Hall Master, I will learn from Chen carefully."

"This is right!"

Hu Tao said this with an expectant look in her eyes. She was definitely not expecting the little gift that Zhongli would give her.

Forget it, I'll make a small gift for this little girl when I have time.

When Zhongli saw Hu Tao's eyes, his heart softened and he sighed in his heart.

If she didn't send it, Hu Tao would definitely remind her every few days.

"Zhongli, where are you going to play next? I want to go with you too."

"Let's go to Wangshu Inn to settle these three old friends and meet some old friends."

"Ah! Never mind then."

"Wangshu Inn is located in the wilderness with few people. It serves traveling merchants and it's not fun there at all."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao immediately refused with a look of fear on her face.

Many of Zhongli’s friends are old grandpas and grandmas, and she doesn’t want to listen to these old folks’ chats at all.

"I'll go back and have someone clean two empty rooms for you, and you can move in tomorrow."

"Zhongli also lives in the Hall of Rebirth."

After leaving this sentence, Walnut ran away in a hurry.

"Why did Kurumi run away? I wanted her to taste the new dish I researched!"

After Xiangling came out with the plate, only Hu Tao's back could be seen.

"I guess he saw your new dish and ran off."

"Next time, I suggest you prepare in advance so she doesn't see you."

Chen suggested seriously.

"That makes sense, Mr. Chen, thank you for your advice."

Xiangling's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard that, and then she turned around to look for other victims.

"Mr. Chen, you just became a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, and you're already trying to trick Hu Tao?"

"What do you mean by 'trick Hu Tao'? Ganyu, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. I am loyal to Master Hu Tao."

"The Hall Master and Xiangling are good friends. I'm strengthening their bond through cooking."

Chen said with a righteous look on his face.

"Is that so?"

Ganyu scratched her little head and said with a confused look on her face.

"Ganyu, don't listen to this bad guy's nonsense. He just wants to have fun."

"Ganyu, your sister Shenzi is here to slander my reputation again."

"Don't let this scumbag fox lead you astray."

"She also slacked off every day at Inazuma and even opened a publishing house specializing in light novels."

0 ···Request flowers···· ··

"He also serves as the editor-in-chief of Yaedou. He doesn't do any of the official duties of a palace steward. He spends every day in Yaedou reading light novels."

Ganyu was suddenly shocked, and her expression seemed to say, I didn't expect you to be such a Godly Sister.

"At this time, I appeared as Inazuma's savior."

"Not only did he pull Ying back from the wrong path, but he also took away this scumbag fox who only knew how to fish."

"With my help, Inazuma finally got back on track, ending the years of civil war."

"Ordinary people now have hope, and their lives are gradually getting better."

“Do I have immeasurable merits?”

"Mr. Chen is indeed a powerful man as great as the Emperor!"

...... ........ .......

Ganyu said with a look of admiration upon hearing this.

"Don't make it sound like I'm a nuisance, okay?"

"Isn't it?" Chen asked back.

"I'm going to bite you to death!"

Along the way, Chen and the Son of God played and joked, and Zhongli introduced the customs and culture of Liyue. The group of five arrived at Wangshu Inn in the center of Dihuazhou.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

Xiao suddenly appeared and greeted Zhongli respectfully.

"Xiao, where's Ping?"

"Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun went to visit friends in Jueyunjian."

"Call her back."

"By the way, call the Three-Eyed Five-Manifestation Immortal over as well."

"I have something important to announce."

"Yes, Emperor."

Xiao saluted with his fists and disappeared in an instant.

Led by Zhongli, everyone came to the top floor of Wangshu Inn.

Ganyu took the initiative to take on the task of making tea.

Looking into the distance, you can see endless expanses of white and purple flowers.

In the sea of ​​flowers, there are hidden stone forests, dangerous peaks, river beaches, and streams...

Everyone drank tea and admired the beautiful scenery of Dihuazhou.

"Chen, I wonder if the beautiful scenery of Dihuazhou can catch your eye?"

“The scenery is great and it’s a great place to retire.”

"Yeah, it's a shame I won't be able to see it for a long time."

Zhongli looked towards the distant Lonely Cloud Pavilion, which stood in the sea. It was the place where he had suppressed the Whirlpool Demon.

460. [Zhongli Feimorax]

"Zhongli, it seems I still underestimated you."

"Shadow is a complete idiot compared to you."

Chen said in amazement.

"I'm the oldest demon god after all, so isn't it normal for me to have some background?"

"Besides, my meager strength is nothing compared to yours."

Zhongli picked up the teacup, gently used the tea lid to stir the emerald green tea leaves floating on the water, then took a sip of the tea before speaking slowly.

"what?"

Although Ganyu didn't understand what the two were saying, she couldn't help but exclaim after hearing the Emperor admit that his strength was not as good as Chen's.

In her eyes, the Emperor, as the guardian of Liyue, is the most powerful.

"Chen, you don't belong to this world."

"Zhongli, you should have been able to leave this world a long time ago."

The two smiled at each other, and tacitly gave the most affirmative answer using question sentences.

"Liyue is not only your kingdom, but also your foundation."

"If you leave, those defeated demons you sealed away will probably break free immediately."

"That's right, I can't leave, and I can't leave."

Zhongli sighed deeply, his tone filled with a hint of reluctance.

This is not only for his own path, but also for all the people of Liyue.

But if you want to revive many old friends, you must break through the throne.

"So the moment you saw me, you realized that the future had changed."

"Your opportunity for breakthrough has appeared."

Only then did Chen realize Zhongli's current condition, which was a state that seemed to be a breakthrough but not a breakthrough.

He was the one who brought this opportunity.

It was his arrival that changed the fate of Zhongli and Liyue.

"As expected of a throne that transcends the world and does not tread on this earthly realm, you can actually see my current state at a glance."

"No wonder you agreed to hand over the Heart of God to the Ice Queen of the Kingdom of Winter."

"Support her plan to collect the Heart of the Seven."

"It seems you already knew that once the seven gods' hearts come together, they can help someone break through the throne."

"The Path of Elements is not the path I pursue. Since that little girl has this in mind, why not fulfill her wish?"

"Chen, with your vision, do you think this plan can succeed?"

Even though Zhongli is the most knowledgeable person in the entire continent of Teyvat, he still has only a vague understanding of this secret that is beyond his horizon.

But he believed that Chen would be able to give him an answer.

"No, this is a plan doomed to fail from the start."

"You know how broken this world is."

"The foundation of this world is no longer able to support the birth of a throne."

"The throne's person is equal to the world."

"That's why this world's original Phanes is able to support the world beneath our feet and prevent it from falling into chaos and being swallowed by it."

“Even if the Ice Queen is able to break through in the end, she will still drain most of the seven elemental powers from Teyvat.”

"By then, everything will be extinct, and if you're lucky, a small amount of fire will remain."

Snapped!

At this moment, there was a strange noise outside the door.

"Now that you're here, come in. Don't stay outside and eavesdrop."

"Yes, Emperor."
