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

"Klee, why do you call Yoomiya and Ayaka 'big sister,' but only call Kurumi 'sister'?"

Keli was well aware of Ji Ming's personality. Whenever her older brother showed a mischievous smile, it meant he was about to play a prank, so it was best not to answer at such times.

Clever Keli escaped unharmed, but Hu Tao sensed something was wrong. She took Keli and Qiqi from Ji Ming's arms and put them down, then wrapped her arms around his neck with a kind expression.

Walnut used a rear naked choke!

The naked choke caused zero damage to Ji Ming!

The chest dealt a devastating blow to Ji Ming!

Seeing the slightly flushed, wicked smile on Ji Ming's face, Hu Tao didn't care that this guy had gotten the better deal. She just kept choking him and said irritably, "This master wants to assassinate the king!"

"Father, Wendy, aren't you two going to do something about this?"

Zhongli and Wendy exchanged glances, then stood up to make room for the couple.

This is a family matter for the young emperor, and outsiders have no right to interfere.

What? You're saying Hu Tao wanted to assassinate the king?

What a joke! Look at that soft, weak strength. It's more like she's looking for an opportunity to act cute. Hu Tao doesn't mind the little emperor taking advantage of her. What else can be said?

Don't be a tactless bad guy, I'm outta here.

Seeing that Zhongli and Wendy had tactfully left, leaving only the two well-behaved little girls, Hu Tao seemed to become bolder and whispered fiercely in Ji Ming's ear, "Today will be the funeral of two emperors!"

"Oh my, if Atao were to personally arrange my funeral, that would be such a blessing."

"What nonsense are you talking about, you fool?"

Holding Ji Ming's neck and letting his head rest on her slightly curved chest, Hu Tao hesitated and asked, "Does what we said before still stand?"

Instead of teasing him at this moment, Ji Ming said cheerfully, "Of course it counts. I will always pursue you."

Hu Tao immediately replied, "No need to pursue me. I will agree to your request, but it may take a few days."

"Why is that? Is it because you're afraid that a romantic ceremony will coincide with a funeral and become unlucky? That's not like you at all; you never care about that."

"Hey, don't ask so many questions."

"Oh, then I won't ask."

When Ji Ming wanted to get to the bottom of things, Hu Tao seemed a little flustered, but when Ji Ming decided to give up asking, she felt a little annoyed.

Girls are like this: since ancient times, young boys have had many troubles, and young girls have had many lovesickness. At this beautiful age, both young boys and girls will have troubles about beautiful feelings, and it will always be a little inexplicable.

Hu Tao said sullenly, "Don't you want to know?"

Ji Ming, not entirely honest, rubbed his head back and said, "You'll find out in a few days. You said it yourself."

“You’ve never been this patient before.”

"Because I have plenty of time now."

Hu Tao sighed and said helplessly, "After thinking about it, I've decided to tell you in advance."

"Please say."

"Can't you be a little more curious?"

Ji Ming frankly replied, "I'm very curious."

Walnut flashed her little tiger teeth: "I'll bite you!"

Ji Ming gestured to Bai Tang, who was playing with two little girls, and didn't say anything. After all, he had said that sentence many times, and Hu Tao probably knew it too.

Even white sugar won't bite!

The era of intimidation by tiger teeth is over; Ji Ming is no longer afraid of Tao Fei's little tiger teeth.

Unless it's your wedding night, you might experience a little pain that night, but you can bear it and it will pass.

"Okay, okay, you're such a bad person."

Hu Tao pinched Ji Ming's cheek and revealed everything: "Both I and A Ling like you very much, and we both plan to accept your advances."

"That would be wonderful."

“Don’t say anything weird,” Hu Tao rolled her eyes at Ji Ming, “but there’s a condition: you have to tell me exactly how many women you want to pursue.”

"My heart holds the entire land of China... Hey, hey, hey, don't actually bite me, you're wrong, you're wrong!"

After calming the agitated Tao Fei, Ji Ming prepared to confess everything, listing them off as if they were his own treasures: "Besides you and Xiang Ling, there's Ke Qing, Senior Sister Shen He, Senior Sister Gan Yu, Barbara from Mondstadt, and two more from Inazuma's side..."

"Why are there still some on Inazuma's side?!"

The more she listened, the more helpless she became. In the end, Hu Tao got angry again. The arm that was just on Ji Ming's shoulder suddenly tightened, as if she wanted to strangle him.

Damn it! Not only is Yun Jin missing, but what's with these two extra fox spirits?!

Releasing her grip, Hu Tao questioned, "Are there other women?"

"It's gone for now."

"Well, that's a good one, temporarily unavailable."

"That's all."

"Really gone?"

Yes, if not.

It's not like I'm really going to have a harem of three thousand beauties. I already have eight girls. Even if I spend time with one a day, I still won't be able to spend time with one of them in a week. If I keep going like this, I'll just be a complete jerk.

Unless there are unforeseen circumstances.

Ji Ming held up three fingers and swore, "Even if there were, I would have discussed it with you beforehand."

With a heavy snort, Hu Tao said irritably, "Little Ji's mouth is full of lies. I have one request: you have to go and pursue A Jin."

Ji Ming was a little surprised: "Why is that?"

Hu Tao rolled her eyes at Ji Ming and complained, "You two used to be so close, but now you don't care about her at all. Yun Jin's father is looking for suitable marriage partners for her. With you as a shield, I'm very relieved."

"The Yun family also forces marriages?"

"Not really, it's just that we've gathered a few eligible men for marriage. Once Ajin reaches that age, we'll probably let her try to meet those men."

It's likely that Ji Ming doesn't know that after the news of Keqing becoming his girlfriend spread throughout Liyue, Keqing's suitors almost instantly disappeared, and the Li family's influence soared.

Of course, if Ji Ming knew, he would probably be extremely angry.

Regardless of what Ji Ming might do to those families, Hu Tao only hopes that he can pursue Yun Jin.

Ji Ming patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me."

Compared to her attitude towards Inazuma, Hu Tao's attitude was noticeably better after hearing that Ji Ming was going to pursue Yun Jin. She teased, "Unlike me, if A Jin knew you were so affectionate, she would really beat you up."

Ji Ming feigned pitifulness: "Will Consort Tao save me?"

"Peach Blossom Fairy and Ajin will beat you up together!"

As she said this, Hu Tao's little face turned rosy, revealing her adorable little tiger teeth.

Chapter 206 The Former Emperor Turns to Ashes

Smoke hung thinly as the remains of the golden dragon were placed inside an enormous furnace. Hu Tao stood to the side, holding a homo, her expression somewhat solemn.

The immortals scattered throughout Liyue, except for those who were truly unable to leave, had all gathered here, quietly watching the enormous furnace before them.

No one was crying, yet an extremely sorrowful atmosphere could be felt. The passing of the celestial leader was a devastating blow to every immortal.

The immortals' hearts were weeping and bleeding; this was yet another blow.

Among them was Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun. She was one of the few immortals who knew that Morax had not passed away. In order not to let the other immortals see through her, she had no choice but to maintain her crane form and stand there without saying a word.

It's a bit hard to keep this up. Does Ji Ming really want to burn the Emperor's... the late Emperor's remains to ashes?

The late emperor was really something. Even if it was just an act for the people of Liyue, there was no need to hide it from the immortals. These colleagues were already in poor mental condition, and this sudden provocation might cause them to go crazy.

Turning his head to look at where Xiao was standing, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun noticed that there were seven or eight immortals standing next to this Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Among all the immortals, Xiao was undoubtedly the most severely worn. He also deeply revered the late emperor, so to prevent him from being provoked into madness, several immortals instinctively stood beside him.

Xiao looked a little speechless, but didn't say anything. He just stood there silently with a stern face.

To onlookers, this was a sign of the Great Sage's excessive grief.

Forget it, I can't keep looking around like that. My suspicious behavior will arouse suspicion from my colleagues.

Thinking this, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun closed his eyes, pretended to be overwhelmed with grief, and flapped his wings to fall onto his little disciple.

"Master, you really love to act cute."

Hearing a slight mocking voice, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun turned away angrily, shifted to a more comfortable position, and ignored his little disciple's presumptuous words.

Seeing that his master remained unmoved, Ji Ming deliberately kept a straight face, looked back at the furnace in front of him, and then nodded to Hu Tao, who was waiting for orders.

As the fire blazed, flames shot up out of thin air, and though there was no ignition source, the fire still burned fiercely.

The golden dragon has no flesh and blood; its entire body should be made of precious metals. After all, from a certain perspective, the Mora that people use daily is actually the skin flakes of the dragon-shaped Morax.

It might sound a bit disgusting, but Ji Ming couldn't find a better way to describe it.

"The person is gone..."
