Chapter 150 The Demon of Salt (Part )

"Yes, Lord Yan should be a very kind god." Paimon agreed.

Seeing that everyone was defending Prince Yan, Wan Yan narrowed her eyes and said, “But, when I was doing archaeological research, I learned some legends about the ‘Demon of Salt’.

The Salt Demon Heulia was a kind demon, but she was assassinated by Morax in an dishonorable way during the war.

"Ah, no way?!" Paimeng looked at Zhongli in surprise.

Zhongli crossed his arms, his eyes full of reminiscence: "This is indeed a long history, but the truth of the story may not be what you want to know."

"It's okay, please tell me all the history you know. This matter... I have been investigating it for a long time." Wan Yan's eyes lit up, knowing that she had asked the right person, and said with great anticipation.

Zhongli fell silent.

"Is it a bit difficult?" Ying asked in a low voice.

"No, I was just wondering where to start."

Just as Zhongli was thinking, a blond man in a gray robe walked over here. After seeing Zhongli, he let out a long sigh: "Oh, here, here, oh, I've been looking for you for a long time, I didn't expect you to be here, Mr. Zhongli."

The man who came over without permission was obviously dressed in the style of the Fatui, which made Ying and Paimon extremely alert.

"Faint!" The elemental power gathered in Ying's body and he was ready for battle.

"Put down your weapons and keep your distance, otherwise I will report to the Thousand Rock Army." Paimon also shouted.

"I didn't bring any weapons!" The man scratched his head helplessly, "You don't have to be so nervous, I'm Clement, an archaeological researcher from the Kingdom of Winter, I'm not here to cause trouble.

Besides, I have already reported this to the Liyue General Affairs Department. If you don’t believe me, I have the official permission document here!”

"The preparations are thorough!" Paimeng still hadn't dispelled his suspicions about this man.

Clement was too lazy to pay attention to Paimon and looked at Zhongli: "Mr. Zhongli, I heard that you are well-versed in history and knowledge. So, I paid a large sum of money to Wangsheng Hall and hired you as my consultant."

"In other words, it's the work of the Wangsheng Hall, right?" Zhongli asked.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhongli, you don't want to refuse, do you?" Clement asked nervously.

However, before Zhongli could answer, Lu Shiyuan walked forward, put one hand on Clement's shoulder, and pushed him towards the edge of the boat.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing?" Clement couldn't resist Lu Shiyuan's power and screamed loudly.

"I say, do you have any manners? We are just chatting here, and you have the right to interrupt?" Lu Shiyuan said, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, he threw Clement off the boat with a flick of his hand.

He has no good feelings towards the Fatui.

With a splash, Clement fell into the water. When everyone looked out, they saw him struggling desperately in the water and screaming miserably.

The boatman in charge of rescue on the pleasure boat soon heard Clement's cry for help and jumped into the water to rescue him.

"My dear friend Lu, no matter what, you are..." Zhongli was a little helpless.

"He's clearly a Fatui, yet he dares to appear in front of me. Not to mention the permission from the General Affairs Department, even if it's Ningguang's special permission, I will make him soak in the sea water." Lu Shiyuan clapped his hands nonchalantly.

"Although I don't quite agree with your approach, but... it really makes me feel relieved!" Paimon said according to his true heart.

While everyone was chatting, Clement was rescued by the boatman. Not long after, dripping with water and shivering, Clement led the bodyguards on the boat to come over, angrily pointing at Lu Shiyuan and saying, "It was him, he pushed me into the water, punish him now!"

Upon hearing this, several bodyguards approached Lu Shiyuan with sticks in hand. The leading bodyguard said, "Sir, you attacked our guest for no reason. Please give us an explanation."

Ying became nervous, not because she was worried that Lu Shiyuan would be beaten, but because she was afraid that he would throw all the bodyguards into the sea. She quickly reminded him:

"Shi Yuan, don't attack ordinary people."

Lu Shiyuan waved his hand, signaling everyone not to worry, and said to the head bodyguard: "You don't know, I am acting in self-defense."

"Self-defense?" Clement was confused. "But I didn't do anything."

"Because I felt you had the intention to attack at that time." Lu Shiyuan said seriously.

“What are you talking about?” Clement was so angry that he almost laughed. He quickly ordered the bodyguards around him, “What are you still standing there for? Subdue him quickly!”

The head bodyguard was a little hesitant, not knowing which side to believe.

"Mr. Bodyguard, you have to believe me. This guy is a member of the Fatui. He is evil and tyrannical." Lu Shiyuan said pitifully, "And as an ordinary citizen with three stores in Feiyunpo, it is reasonable for me to defend myself in advance in order to avoid being persecuted by the Fatui."

Upon hearing this, the head bodyguard nodded in conviction, "This young master is right."

He turned his head to look at Clement and said with a straight face: "Since you are on our Liyue territory, you better behave yourself. Don't think you are great just because you are a Fainthead. We Liyue people don't recognize that."

After saying this, he retreated with his brothers without listening to Clement's explanation.

"Hey! Don't leave!" Seeing that he couldn't persuade the bodyguards to come back, Clement stamped his feet in frustration, "These bastards are simply a nest of snakes and rats!"

"Who are you calling a bunch of bastards?" Lu Shiyuan's teasing voice sounded from behind him, "Haven't you soaked in the sea water enough?"

Hearing this, Clement shuddered all over and turned his head stiffly. Seeing Lu Shiyuan smiling, he immediately said with a sad face: "I really don't want to fight with you!

Why don’t you believe it?”

"Little friend Lu, please stop making trouble." Zhongli said with a smile, "Regardless of this gentleman's identity, since he is the guest assigned to me by the Wangsheng Hall, I should treat him well."

Clement nodded repeatedly and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I am a guest!"

"You are Zhongli's guest, not mine." Lu Shiyuan grinned and said in a sinister tone, "I just don't like you and I want to beat you up. What can you do to me?"

Clement shrank his neck and quickly hid behind Zhongli. "Mr. Zhongli, I know you are the most reasonable person. Let's set off quickly to Guyun Pavilion. After the Whirlpool Demon God was suppressed by Qunyu Pavilion, there must be a lot of good things washed ashore."

Zhongli nodded, but heard Lu Shiyuan say, "My sister and I are going too."

"Brother!" Lu Qianzhi looked at his brother with some dissatisfaction, "Don't make trouble."

"I'm not making trouble. I really have something to do at Guyun Pavilion." Lu Shiyuan said seriously, without any intention of joking.

Lu Qianzhi was a little unsure, "Really?"

"real!"

"Okay then." Since her brother had said this, Lu Qianzhi couldn't stop him.
