Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Without making a sound, Hu Tao put away the long purple hair and asked, "So, Mayor, you've been busy at home all day, do you have any good ideas?"

"No, you can probably see my condition, I'm no different from a salted fish."

Ji Ming shook his head and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), lying down next to Hu Tao with practiced ease. Since his pillow had been ruthlessly taken away, he could only rest his head on his arms.

Mmm, it feels tingly and numb.

Seeing that Ji Ming seemed uncomfortable, Hu Tao hesitated for a moment, then patted her thigh and asked softly, "Want a pillow?"

I've heard that this is very popular among women, whether in light novels or in real life. The lap pillow method can easily enhance the relationship between men and women, thus achieving some unexpected results.

"What's going on today?" Ji Ming grinned mischievously. "Could it be that they heard I'm going to be mayor and came to bribe me, trying to expand the business of the Rebirth Hall?"

Hu Tao flashed her little tiger teeth and said angrily, "Are you going to use this as a pillow or not?"

"I'll definitely use a pillow!"

Ji Ming didn't stand on ceremony. He found a comfortable position to lie down, closed his eyes and dozed off for a while. When he opened his eyes, he found that he could see Hu Tao's face clearly.

There's no curve at all... No, there is a little bit, but you have to look closely. It's normal for a seventeen-year-old girl not to have any curve.

Ji Ming found that he couldn't find a reason to defend Hu Tao. His childhood sweetheart had a normal figure, and at seventeen years old, she had the curves that an ordinary girl should have, while Hu Tao really only had a little bit.

Poor thing, you should stop bullying Hu Tao. She's already pitiful enough; all she has to show off are her fleshy thighs.

"Hey, are you thinking about something bad?"

"How could that be? My loyalty to Hu Tao is as clear as day. I would never think of anything bad."

Lying on Hu Tao's lap, staring unobstructed into her eyes, Ji Ming's gaze was pure and innocent, seemingly containing a hint of pity.

With her little tiger teeth still sticking out, Hu Tao threatened fiercely, "You were definitely thinking bad things, I'll bite you!"

"Even white sugar doesn't bite."

"Mind your own business, oh well!"

Honestly, I came all this way out of kindness to check on this guy, and in the end I got bullied. This guy is such a womanizer and scoundrel, he actually let Yuhengxing come to the kang (heated brick bed) and even left behind irrefutable evidence.

Hmph, what happened to the promise of a warm bed and family? Why is it a purple cat head sitting on the bed?!

Growing angrier by the thought, Hu Tao reached out and poked Ji Ming's face, then pinched it instead, saying irritably, "I'm not going to bother with you anymore. This sect leader is going to sleep here. You can go think about city construction yourself."

Ji Ming propped himself up and smiled, "I don't want to think about it anymore. Since the Hall Master wants to sleep, he must need a flexible pillow, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Do you need a lap pillow?

Hu Tao blushed: "What kind of boy gives a girl his lap as a pillow? Don't do anything like that."

Ji Ming continued to smile: "So, you need a lap pillow, my lord."

In the end, this guy still messed around. The lap pillow felt pretty good, except it felt a bit hard at times.

In a daze, Hu Tao fell asleep.

Little Master Hu fell asleep, and Little Jiming shamelessly stood up. Is this the demeanor of a lazy bum?

Sigh, they made a killing.

Chapter 146 Zhongli is very happy

Barbatos, are you serious?

When Zhongli saw Ji Ming again, his heart was filled with a mix of indescribable emotions: helplessness,感慨, 慰慰, and a little bit of anger. It was hard to imagine that after living for thousands of years, he still had so many emotions.

Unexpectedly, Barbatos actually gave the Heart of God to Ji Ming, who beat him to it.

It's not just one step. Back then, Barbatos gave Ji Ming an Eye of God, making the little emperor a wind-attribute primordial god. Now, he's even giving away a Heart of God for free, directly confirming Ji Ming's identity as the wind god.

Barbatos, can't you do something productive, like managing Mondstadt's affairs instead of spending all your time thinking about stealing the crown prince from the neighboring country?

Does the flower language of the Heart of God mean "first come, first served"?

Zhongli was speechless. At this moment, he wanted to reach out and pull out the Heart of the Wind God directly.

"Zhong Aiqing, why do you look at me like that?"

Ji Ming crossed his arms, looking at Zhong Li in front of him with a displeased expression. Thanks to this Geo God, he hadn't left the house for three days, all for the sake of a small schedule. Since returning to Liyue Harbor, he hadn't visited Senior Sister Gan Yu.

That's interesting. By appointing a gangster as mayor, is Morax trying to build a gangster city?

It's confirmed, Morax is a genius at coming up with ideas.

Zhongli sighed and tentatively asked, "Young friend, did you encounter anything strange on your trip to Mondstadt?"

Ji Ming, in a playful mood, exclaimed, "I feel like I'm filled with 'thuwa'!"

What is a "powder tile"?

"Throwing tiles is power."

Grass has sprouted.

Since the Demon God War, Zhongli has once again wanted to swear at Liyue. Barbatos's provocation is truly speechless.

The Heart of God symbolizes the authority of the demon god. It brings negligible progress in terms of power, but its help to a mortal is undoubtedly enormous.

If Ji Ming was a mortal with the strength of a half-step demon god, then since he obtained the Heart of the Wind God, he has gained the lifespan of a demon god and the corresponding authority.

In layman's terms, Ji Ming has become a true demon god. Although he is an acquired demon god, he still belongs to the immortal race.

Not only lifespan, but if Ji Ming were willing to study it, he could also control the winds of the entire world, which is the power of the wind god.

Losing the Heart of the Wind God is of no great consequence to Venti. He was originally just a wisp of wind among countless gentle breezes, and now that the Heart of the Wind God is no longer a constraint, he can be considered free.

From initial indignation to present relief, Zhongli, as expected of a demon god who has lived for thousands of years, quickly adjusted his emotions.

In Teyvat, there is no rule that anyone cannot become one of two types of gods. If Ji Ming can become the Wind God, he can also become the Rock God.

If we consider the second Anemo Archon as the son of the first Geo Archon, then wouldn't Mondstadt be considered Liyue's adopted son?

Feels good now; the mental victory method works really well.

Even Zhongli can be a bit mischievous at times, probably because he's been spending too much time with his own crown prince.

“Young friend, your power has indeed increased considerably. It seems you had a remarkable adventure in Mondstadt.”

Ji Ming was amused. Was Zhong Li just learning and applying what he had just learned?

"It wasn't exactly a miraculous encounter, but I often had dreams of the Emperor in Liyue Harbor, and recently I was made the mayor of a new city."

Zhongli smiled: "Good thing."

Damn it, he's still pretending to be stupid.

Ji Ming cooperated, asking, "What do you mean?"

“Young friend, if you want to become the new Rock King Emperor, you must have a group of loyal believers. This is the most basic source of power for a demon god.”

Got it, so you made him mayor?

So what's the connection between being a mayor and being an emperor? Don't think he's stupid!

Ji Ming wore an expression that suggested he was not well-read, and said, "Please enlighten me, strategist."

To be honest, Zhongli enjoys this feeling. He is more suited to being a strategist than a lord, as he can slack off anytime.

He can slack off, but Ji Ming can't. After all, he's the second-generation Geo Archon and the second-generation Anemo Archon, responsible for the development of Liyue and Mondstadt. Slacking off is not allowed.

However, Zhongli doesn't need to worry about these things; someone else will take care of Ji Ming in the future.

"Don't underestimate the mayor. The new city will give you a brand new space to exert your influence. You can develop your own power and followers in the new city."

"Believers? I am not a god yet, so how can I be a believer?"

No, you already are.

Zhongli's face darkened again, but his tone remained calm: "Not only do gods have followers, but religious figures also occasionally emerge among the common people, and they also have their own followers."

Ji Ming seemed to understand but not quite: "I'm starting to get it. Minister Zhong wants me to create a completely new religion?"

"If you can win the people's trust, what's wrong with creating a brand new religion? There aren't many religions in Liyue, and Tao is one of them. You can certainly establish your own sect, as long as it can assist your rule."

Just like the Church of the West Wind and the Knights of the West Wind, one side is responsible for blessing with faith, while the other side is responsible for maintaining stability.

The countries in Teyvat are basically all theocratic, differing only in degree. Liyue belongs to the most secular type of country.

Ji Ming suddenly felt like laughing. If he started a new school of thought and established a new doctrine in the new city, would the Seven Stars be dumbfounded? Would he be considered to be turning back the clock of history?

Speaking of religion, if all else fails, we can just start a polytheistic religion. The Nine Gates have exactly nine gods, hehehe.

"Young friend, don't act recklessly."

Zhongli sighed helplessly. He found that Ji Ming was good at everything, except that he would occasionally become a genius of ideas, coming up with extremely unreliable whims. So, he still needed someone to assist him.

Now it's Zhongli, and in the future it will be Ganyu, as well as the positions personally set up by Ji Ming. The people in these positions will all be Ji Ming's assistants.

Of course, the new city hasn't even had its most basic location determined yet, so let's take it one step at a time.

In three months, at least a general direction can be planned out. Hopefully, Ji Ming won't let him down.

If Ji Ming is not good at governing, then he can only become a mascot, and Liyue Harbor is better off implementing rule by man.

This time, it's a test as well.
