Genshin Impact: Wherever you go, all wear and tear will be eliminated

Chapter 133: The Flower of Fraud under the Glass

It's night.

The bright moon is not visible high in the sky, so the stars shine brightly, sparkling in the eyes of the world.

The sky of Ogi Prefecture is high and vast, and one can see his destiny star very clearly. There is a man in black clothes looking up at the sky. Although it is the starry sky belonging to his own world, his destiny star is still not there. Perhaps, it is because he does not have the Eye of God.

Paimon, a cute little doll floating nearby, said, "Come on, Sora! It's time to show off your singing skills!"

Sora coughed twice, cleared his throat, and sang a classic song from Mond's popular idol Barbara, "Da~da da da~da da da~da, da!"

Zhongli and Mo Ran took a step back, both trying to hold back their laughter with ill intentions, because what happened next was truly beyond the expectations of ordinary people.

It turned out that the Glazed Lily was a deceitful flower in disguise. It was originally sleeping here, but was awakened by a fatal song and became irritable.

The flower crown on the head gathers elemental power and is ready for a fight.

However, the blond boy was not a real ignorant boy. He used a wind blade to knock the flower away, then used the rock elemental power and shouted: "Desolate Planet!"

This is the rock elemental power that the traveler gains after touching the rock statue. This combat skill is equivalent to a simplified version of "Wasteland Stars", and can only release two at most.

But even if there were only two of them, the powerful rock elemental force caused the surrounding ground to tremble, and Pianpianhua was instantly crushed to pieces by the wild star, leaving no intact body.

Paimon then put his hands on his hips and stamped his feet, saying, "They are not glass lilies at all. How can glass lilies hit people?"

Compared to Paimon, the person involved, Sora, was much calmer. He said slowly, "An enemy beyond imagination."

Zhongli leaned forward and introduced: "This is a monster called the Deception Flower, huh?"

Zhongli seemed to have discovered something unusual and said, "These petals are interesting. The Glazed Lily used for camouflage was buried with the Deception Flower for too long. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise and became an excellent medicinal material. Let's collect these petals."

Paimon stroked his delicate chin and asked in surprise, "Is there such a good thing? Can these petals be used in the immortal ceremony?"

Zhongli immediately poured a basin of cold water over him, "Unfortunately, no."

Paimon exclaimed, "Why is this happening?"

Mo Ran smiled and said, "That's normal. Mr. Zhongli is a very particular person. He would never use inferior things if he could use the best, or even just not use them at all. In a word, he is extravagant and licentious!"

Zhongli put his hands behind his back, and said with the demeanor of a master: "The discussion on sending the immortal book is of great importance, and it must not be sloppy. I am also striving for perfection for this tradition."

Mo Ran smiled and looked behind a tree not far away, saying, "Since you are here, then come on, why are you hiding from me? Do you think I would kill people without blinking an eye? Well, I am not a demon who eats people without leaving any bones."

Paimeng deliberately screamed and pointed at the man in black, "Mo Ran, you actually eat people!"

"It's just a metaphor. I won't eat it." Mo Ran smiled and looked at the hiding blue-haired humanoid Qilin, quietly waiting for what to come.

"Um, please ask, are you looking for the glazed lily?" The blue-haired woman hiding behind the tree finally came out, holding a gorgeous glazed lily in her hands.

Paimon was surprised and said, "Ah! It's you! Uh, oops, I can't remember your name. Anyway, hello, Miss Secretary."

Sora said, "Hello, Miss Ganyu."

"Hello, how was your trip to the Qun Yu Pavilion?" Gan Yu looked more respectful and called out, "Hello, Mr. Mo Ran."

Mo Ran smiled casually and said, "You don't have to be so reserved and respectful to me all the time, right? Gan Yu should just be like before, otherwise I really won't be used to it!"

"Okay, I'll pay attention, Mr. Mo Ran."

Paimeng spread his hands and said, "It seems like he didn't listen at all. Speaking of going to the Jade Pavilion, because Ganyu forgot to tell us how to get there, we almost had to make a few more trips."

Gan Yu's pupils trembled, and she said in surprise: "Eh? Did I forget to say it?" She lowered her head and muttered softly: "It's over, I made a mistake in front of Mr. Mo Ran again. He obviously had high hopes for me, but I..."

"Alright, Ganyu." Mo Ran sighed and coaxed her like he did when she was little. "No one can guarantee that they won't make mistakes, not even the Emperor. Don't put pressure on yourself. In Liyue Harbor, no one can match your seriousness in your work."

"Remember, you are a fairy beast, but you are also a human. You must know how to balance work and rest. If your body collapses, Liyue Harbor may be in a period of time when the workload increases dramatically."

"Cheer up, okay?"

Gan Yu stared blankly at the man in black, one of the three people she had always been close to since childhood, and said softly, "I understand. I will definitely meet Mr. Mo Ran's expectations!"

Paimon shook his head, feeling that this secretary was comparable to Mondstadt's maid knight. If it was El, it would be fine, but Ganyu obviously looked very mature, so why was she still so naive?

Kong looked around and saw no one was going to speak, so he had no choice but to ask, "Why is Ganyu here?"

Gan Yu's face instantly turned bright red, and her voice became hushed, "I, I came to look for flowers. No, I came to see the flowers."

Paimon asked in confusion, "Seeing flowers? But why not see them in the city?

Gan Yu said somewhat dejectedly, "Yujing Terrace is where the Emperor passed away. It is very lonely to look at the flowers there. Besides, I heard that Chen Shen left recently. I am a little worried that something might happen to Mr. Mo Ran."

When the Rock King Morax used the art of dream transmission to inform Qixing and the other fairies of their fake deaths, Ganyu was still working hard, so she didn't know that the person in front of her was the Rock King she had been thinking about.

Paimeng apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought up this topic, but does Chen Shen's departure have anything to do with Mo Ran's safety?"

Ganyu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

Zhongli helped to make up for this trouble and said, "Ms. Ganyu should be worried that after the departure of the God of Dust, there will be no god in Liyue, and the monsters will wreak havoc again, so she will hurt Mr. Mo Ran, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Ganyu nodded without changing her expression, and looked at this gentleman with a smile, whom she didn't know at all but felt somewhat familiar with.

Gan Yu sighed slightly and said, "Two thousand years ago, the Demon God War ended, and the Seven Gods held their first party, drinking together and talking happily. Later, the throne changed, and five of the Seven Gods have passed away."

"Today, the Emperor has returned to heaven. Of the original seven gods, only the wind god Barbatos remains in the mortal world."

"Alas, clearly...Zhanmochuzhang Zhenjun said that the Wind God was the least reliable of the seven gods, but I didn't expect that the Wind God would survive to the end."

Mo Ran sighed and said, "Indeed, I wonder what the Emperor would think if he knew about this. Haha."

Paimeng found it very strange and said, "What the Demon-Exorcist Master said is true. The Wind God is indeed very unreliable! I didn't expect that the immortals in Liyue can also understand things."

Zhongli Youyou said: "There are many records of the glorious deeds of Master Dangmo Chuzhang in Liyue's ancient history. If you are interested, you can ask Mr. Mo Ran. He knows a lot about these."

Mo Ran waved his hand and said, "I only know a little bit. In fact, Mr. Zhongli understands the Emperor better. He can even talk about the 3,700 years of walking with the gods."

"Although the Emperor has now departed and his body has been buried underground, and his soul has returned to heaven, Mr. Zhongli should have some new insights, right?"

Zhongli said calmly, "Of course there are, but we should always listen to other people's opinions and add the sum. For example, Miss Ganyu, please tell us what you think about this farewell."

"Eh, me?" Ganyu was stunned for a moment, looked at the man in black who nodded slightly to her in affirmation, and thought for a while.

Ganyu said: "As a human being, I still cannot imagine what Liyue will become without the Emperor."

“But as an immortal…” Gan Yu took a breath, her eyes firm, and said, “I think I will accept the fact sooner or later. Since the Emperor has passed away, the contract signed between the immortal god and Liyue has actually come to an end.”

Paimon asked, "You just said that you were an immortal? Are you also an immortal?"

"Yes." Gan Yu nodded and said, "After the Demon God War ended, I signed a contract with the Emperor and served as the secretary of Qixing, and it has been like this until today."

Kong sighed and said, "No wonder you forgot to tell me what happened. It turns out that you were exploited by the Rock King!"

Ganyu coughed awkwardly a few times and said, "Let's talk about something else. I just heard you say that you were looking for glass lilies, and I just happen to have one in my hand."

"If you don't mind, please accept it!" Ganyu held the flowers in both hands and handed them to the man in black. She felt inexplicably flustered, afraid that he would not accept it.

Mo Ran took it carefully, not touching the delicate hand of the Half-Immortal Beast, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Ganyu. You helped us a lot, otherwise Mr. Zhongli would probably make things difficult for us again!"

Gan Yu blushed and said, "No, no need. If it weren't for Mr. Mo Ran, I wouldn't have thought that I could still send a token of my gratitude to the body that has been leaving for so long. Well, I should go back to work. I wish you all a safe journey."

Ganyu followed the traces of Shanze Lin and left quickly, leaving only an ice lotus that would not explode to prevent the man in black from being affected.

Zhongli said slowly: "In this way, the preparations for the Immortals' Meeting are basically completed. Since picking flowers is not difficult, I left it to the end."

Kong praised: "Zhongli's personality is very suitable for pioneering!"

Paimon also echoed: "I think if Zhongli becomes a businessman, he will probably enjoy the process of starting a business!"

Mo Ran laughed and said, "You are all right. Mr. Zhongli also created a good industry with his partners a long time ago."

"It's a pity that you fell into a trap when you were developing Shanda, and you almost went bankrupt and lost everything. I was the one who supported you at that time and helped you to hold on for a while. Otherwise, you would probably be regretting it now!"

Zhongli sighed, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and there is a lot of emotion invested. When everything is running smoothly but there is still a part missing, it will gradually wear out."

“When you have too much wear and tear, you need to re-examine yourself. If you don’t handle it carefully, cracks will be left in your soul that cannot be repaired.”

Zhongli sighed: "I want to buy some osmanthus flowers to carry with me to the wine, but it's a pity that we are old friends. When will we meet again?"

Mo Ran was also looking at this former battlefield. The scene at that time was still vivid in his mind. The roars of the soldiers seemed to ring in his ears again, and the clanging sounds of weapons colliding with their sharp teeth and claws.

The passion and high spirits of that time seemed to be reloaded into this old body that had experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. Mo Ran's eyes swept away his old look and became as sharp as a sword as before.

Although it was only a moment, it still existed.
