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

Ji Ming remained silent: "Morax wants to groom me?"

Lei Yingdian didn't speak, nor did she deny it. There was no need to reveal everything about this, nor was there any need to lie. As a powerful demon god, she had no intention of lying.

Ji Ming sighed again. The fact that Barbatos, Morax, and Ray Movie, these three great gods, were paying attention to him, a mere mortal, must mean that it was not just a simple matter of training a disciple of the Liyue Immortal Clan.

The divine position of the Rock God? When did Morax come up with this idea, and why did he find Ji Ming in the vast sea of ​​people?

More importantly, someone once guaranteed Ji Ming that they could definitely help him ascend to the position of the Rock King Emperor, even though he was just a mortal.

Thinking about it this way, that person's identity becomes quite meaningful.

You're right, Zhongli.

Guess Zhongli's true identity within ten minutes, because Ji Ming is the famous detective of Liyue.

That makes sense, but Zhongli is clearly the Rock King Emperor, so why is he in such a hurry to abdicate? Does he want to quit?

Yae no Miko laughed even more heartily, sat down next to Ji Ming, and stroked his hair until his slightly long, black, tousled hair was completely disheveled before stopping, her tone cheerful: "Finally figured it out, my future little emperor?"

"Isn't it Ji Jun?"

"Both the Emperor and the Ji King are rulers."

So, is my husband up to the task?

Yae no Miko's eyes were dangerous. This wicked fox seemed to realize what Ji Ming was about to say and quickly stopped him with a look.

Ji Ming listened to advice and smiled slightly, skipping the topic: "General, do you support me becoming the emperor?"

Lei Yingdian's eyelids twitched: "This is Liyue's internal affair, I have no objection."

"From a conventional perspective, you are currently my temporary guardian, so let me share my personal opinion."

Seeing that Ji Ming was unwilling to give up, Lei Yingdong felt helpless: "With your current strength, you are not qualified."

Having already prepared himself mentally and possessing a clear understanding of his own abilities, Ji Ming wasn't discouraged. Instead, he cheerfully asked, "What happens after the special training ends?"

"Enough for you to take charge of Liyue, I mean in terms of strength."

As for his inner thoughts, Lei Movie can't guarantee anything. Since Ji Ming has been designated as the next Rock King Emperor, he should be prepared to become an immortal being.

If there are ties in the mortal realm, one must witness the passing of loved ones and have a strong enough heart to avoid being worn down by time. This is the final test of a demon god.

If nothing changes in the next few years, what about in a dozen years, a few decades, or even a hundred or a thousand years? Can Ji Ming guarantee that his heart will remain unchanged forever?

The eternal Balzebub cannot guarantee it, the millennia-old Barbatos cannot guarantee it, and even the rock-solid Morax cannot guarantee it.

Can a still inexperienced Ji Ming really guarantee that?

Looking at the inexperienced man in front of her, Lei Yingdian felt a little uncomfortable. Compared to Barbatos and Morax's eager expectations, she did not want Ji Ming to become the Rock God.

While the position of the Rock King Emperor is indeed lofty, Lei Yingdian felt reluctant to let Ji Ming sit on it.

"Ji Ming, after you become the Rock God, come back to Inazuma often. The God Child and I are here."

Ji Ming didn't understand Lei's expression and could only reply blankly, "Oh..."

Chapter 110 Lei's Dinner

"I want to go back to Liyue! I want to go back to Liyue!"

Inside the castle tower, Ji Ming huddled in a corner, staring at the culinary disaster dish not far away, helpless tears streaming down his face.

Yae no Miko was so frightened by the terrible food that she reverted to her original form. This pink-haired wicked fox hid in Ji Ming's arms and kept breathing on Lei Yingdian.

Lei was wearing an apron, and the spatula in her hand was crackling from the electricity. Although her face was expressionless, Ji Ming could still see a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

There was a large hole in the floor not far away, probably caused by Thor pulling out a samurai sword from his chest while chopping vegetables too hard.

Lei asked, "Ji Ming, won't you eat something?"

Ji Ming smiled and said, "Sister Shenzi, you should eat first."

After saying that, Ji Ming grabbed the Yae no Miko who was trying to escape and handed her to him. Then, the pink-haired wicked fox bit him instead.

Hmm, is there a risk of getting rabies in this situation?

Lei Yingdian was silent for a moment, then said, "I made this especially for you. Don't you like it?"

Rarely, Lei's usually indifferent film revealed a hint of regret and helplessness, making him seem a bit like an old mother who had done something wrong and was disliked by her son.

"I'll eat, I'll eat."

Ji Ming swallowed hard, picked up his chopsticks and rummaged through the food a couple of times, feeling genuinely reluctant.

Seeing that his life was no longer in danger, the Eightfold Divine Child transformed back into human form, his face full of mockery: "Ji Jun, if you're not going to eat, don't shovel it."

Ji Ming wasn't one to be trifled with either; he immediately picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and held it to Yae no Miko's lips: "Ah~"

Yae Shenzi turned his head: "..."

I recognized her by her eyes; she's a pink-haired, mischievous fox who loves to talk big.

Picking up the pink-haired bad fox who had initially resisted but then reverted to her original form, Ji Ming patted her head hard as a small act of revenge.

Sigh, looks like I have no choice but to eat.

"Sister Divine Child, if I die, go to Liyue Harbor and find White Sugar."

Who is Bai Tang?

"Tell it that its snacks weren't stolen by its own kind, but that I ate them as a treat, and that I'm sorry."

"So who is Bai Tang?!"

Ji Ming was heartbroken and revealed the thing he regretted most in his life: who knew that Ke Qing would buy fried beef bone marrow as a dog treat and eat better than he did when he was homeless.

When Ji Ming first learned about this, aside from feeling nauseous, he actually thought the taste was quite good.

However, after seeing the bizarre food from Lei's movie today, Ji Ming would rather eat fried beef bone marrow.

In order not to disappoint Lei's movie, Ji Ming mustered up his courage, picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it without chewing, which was quite a bold way of eating.

Lei, the movie critic, was filled with anticipation: "How does it feel?"

Ji Ming smacked his lips: "I couldn't taste anything."

The wicked fox who had been observing all along: "?"

Ji Jun, are you awake?

"How about trying some more?"

Lei was even more excited. She had suggested it a long time ago, to show off her skills to her best friends and sister, but it was rejected by all of them. But today, she saw hope in Ji Ming.

Ji Ming nodded. After the earlier probing, he was no longer afraid of the dish whose appearance he couldn't discern.

It's nothing more than using blue-purple vegetables as side dishes, paired with some colorful fungi (are they really not poisonous?), a few twitching tentacles of a sea squid, and on top of that, a pool of slime of unknown origin.

Muster your courage and take another bite.

Ji Ming raised an eyebrow and chewed silently.

The evil fox-like Yae no Miko nudged Ji Ming and asked, "Don't just focus on eating, how are you feeling?"

Ji Ming muttered, "Surprisingly good?"

Yae no Miko exclaimed in disbelief, "Surprisingly good?!"

Is there something wrong with Ji Ming in front of her, or is there something wrong with her? How could anyone make such a strange evaluation of Ying's cooking?

Unlike Yae no Miko's astonishment, Lei Yingdian's eyes lit up: "Could you elaborate?"

Ji Ming swallowed: "It's very strong. The vegetables taste a bit bitter, the mushrooms are very pure and authentic, the squid tentacles don't have much flavor, but they're very filling. The slime is probably slime. General, you have a good eye. It would be even better if you could add more salt."

Lei said, "But I added five spoonfuls of salt."

Ji Ming, still wanting more, said, "It's not salty enough. I like it salty."

Xiangling was very sensible. She would secretly add salt to Ji Ming's dishes every time, even though it went against her cooking principles. But what could she do when they were childhood sweethearts?

"Okay, I'll put in ten spoonfuls next time."

Yae no Miko finally couldn't hold back any longer. She stretched out her little paw and slapped Ji Ming's face hard, saying urgently, "Ji-kun, are you hallucinating from eating mushrooms?"

Ji Ming pinched her little hand: "No, I really think it's pretty good. It's not as scary as Sister Shenzi said. At most, it just doesn't look good."

This world is hopeless! How can anyone tolerate Ying's cooking skills? Didn't you see the maternal love in Ying's eyes almost overflowing? If Ji Jun continues to praise her, she might force Ji Jun to stay in Daoqi and feed him every day!

Despite having such thoughts, when Yae no Miko carefully examined Ji Ming's expression, she found nothing suspicious, so it was probably not flattery.

No, practice makes perfect. Yae no Shinji must try it himself before he can properly critique it.

Before Ji Ming could react, the evil fox-like Yae no Miko swiftly snatched the squid tentacles that were being held by chopsticks, and then she fell silent, lying upright in Ji Ming's arms.

Ji Ming was shocked: "Sister Divine Child?!"

Lei Movie remained calm: "That's how it is with the Divine Child, just wait a little longer."

Curiosity killed the fox; such things happen all the time.

A short while later, the Eightfold Divine Child awoke with a resentful look, glaring fiercely at Ji Ming: "Ji-jun, why did you lie?!"

Seeing that Yae no Miko was really angry, Ji Ming quickly explained, "I really didn't lie."

"Then why are you fine after eating it, but I fall into a coma after eating it?"
