Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

The waves crashed against the wall without fear, and were instantly shattered into pieces.

Qin Ye beckoned, and the sea was immediately covered with solid ice, blocking the demon's retreat.

The stone wall transformed into a fierce tiger, which accurately pounced into the seawater.

Under the watchful eyes of countless humans, the stone tiger bit the creature in the sea, suddenly raised its head, and a four-headed sea monster was caught in its teeth and pulled out of the water.

The roars subsided, the waves calmed, and the demons were vanquished.

Chapter 279 Name

"The initial goal has been achieved... Well, luckily I had prepared in advance. Your speed in completing this strategy is truly beyond human imagination."

Gui Zhong walked along the street under construction with Zhong Li and Qin Ye. Although she expressed some dissatisfaction with their actions, the smiles on her face proved her feelings at that moment.

Qin Ye's plan to sweep across the nearby plains has been fully accomplished, and the settlements of the nearby people have also been relocated to the southeast side of the plains.

Columbia and her younger sister's publicity efforts have been quite effective, and recently some wavering humans have decided to enter under the protection of the Rock King.

"Yes, this place is suitable for farming, and the planning of buildings is much easier than in the mountains. More importantly, the enemies on all sides have been basically eliminated. It can be said to be the safest and most livable location in this battlefield."

Qin Ye silently analyzed, pressing down on the black hood with his hand. Although he could change his appearance, he was too lazy to do so. He and Columbia didn't hide their identities when they went out on dates, and he was only covering his face now to avoid causing any commotion.

Anyway, as long as Zhongli and Guizhong don't expose themselves, no one will ask about him, a character with a low profile.

"Uncle over there, please wait a moment."

On the main road, a figure hurriedly ran over and took the building materials from an old man's back: "You're already this old... let us young people do these hard jobs."

The old man looked displeased: "Young man, are you looking down on me? If it weren't for His Majesty's concern for our newly built home and his reluctance to send us to the front lines to fight alongside him, I would have already donned my armor and gone into battle. Why would I be here?"

"Haha...you're right..."

The young woman shook her head, awkwardly raised her hand, and could only follow behind the old man, fearing that something might happen to him.

"You've picked a rather warm-hearted manager."

Gui saw everything in the end, and it must be said that Qin Ye's judgment of people was truly sharp.

This woman is from an organization that Qin Ye has just established to assist the Emperor in managing the people...

Of course, one person is not enough to constitute an organization. Right now, there is only her as the manager and a few young soldiers, and she has not yet reached the point of controlling the entire area.

The main issue is that this area is still under construction, so we can't rush things. As Qin Ye put it...

Testing the waters?

Similarly, although the group of immortals led by Qin Ye, apart from the child named A Ping who liked to integrate into human society, were all somewhat arrogant, they all trusted Qin Ye and were even willing to do things for him.

The impression Qin Ye left on her was very different from that of a typical strategist.

"Yes, mainly because the humans in this area are indeed quite outstanding, so it's not too difficult to select a few leaders."

Qin Ye truly felt the simplicity and honesty of these people, which was vastly different from his previous life.

"However, what that old man said just now did remind me that once the people have settled down, the establishment of the army must be put on the agenda. Our initial goal was not to make them rely on Emperor Yan for everything."

Given Zhongli's earnestness and stubbornness, he might actually go door-to-door to handle all sorts of matters for them.

"That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking of telling you."

Gui clapped his hands and led Qin Ye and Zhong Li away.

"...Why not just find any place? Why go all the way north? I finally have some time to rest, and I have to go and be with Columbia."

Qin Ye started to get impatient halfway there. Wouldn't it be better to spend his free time with his wife than with Mu Tou?

"Brother Qin is truly devoted."

Zhong Li has recently been influenced by Qin Ye to go astray quite a bit, so he must seize this rare opportunity to tease her.

"...How dare a single person laugh at me?"

"arrive!"

Gui clapped his hands, stopping the two who were about to start arguing.

"Is this place... because the monsters were defeated?"

Qin Ye looked at the endless sea of ​​crystal lilies and couldn't help but feel intoxicated.

I'll write this place down first; it would be wonderful to use it as a date spot.

"That's probably it. Different demon gods and monsters originally divided this place into many sections, so it's unlikely that such a spectacle could appear."

"If you're saying you're bringing me to see a date location, then I have no objection. But isn't it a bit too bright here?"

Qin Ye approached Gui Zhong and whispered something in her ear, while Zhong Li watched the scenery from the side, composing verses in her mind.

Too bright?

"I'm just being a third wheel. Weren't you and Zhong Li here on a date? Wouldn't I be getting in the way?"

"???"

Gui Zhong quickly covered Qin Ye's mouth, his gaze secretly glancing at the wooden figure who was still slightly tilting his head back in thought.

"How did you know?!" Her voice was low, but it was full of emotion, and her pretty face even turned a little red.

"It's not like you can't see it at a glance..."

Qin Ye pursed his lips. He knew this from the very beginning when she called Zhong Li a blockhead. At that time, he probably had a slight liking for her, just like a friend.

After joining... Zhongli is quite good-looking, and he's always showing off his love with his girlfriend in public, which inevitably affects other people's attitudes.

As expected of the Demon God of Dust and the Demon God of Rock... it seems there's no problem with these two being attracted to each other.

I just want to try not to let Zhongli become some kind of sexy older sister in the future.

"Shh...don't say any more. I have no such intentions at all. I just invited you here to talk business."

"Oh~" Qin Ye clapped his fists together, drew out the sound, and nodded to indicate his understanding.

"Well, in short, our alliance is now completely solidified. I brought you two here in the hope that we can give this place a name."

Gui Zhong stood with his hands behind his back, tiptoeing, his expression somewhat expectant.

"That's simple. You two are demon gods, ruling this area. Just take one character from each of you and call yourselves Gui Li, and that's it."

"...That's a bit casual."

"What's so arbitrary about that? You are the spiritual leaders of humanity. This area was later named Guiliji, which represents the gaze of God. What else could it be called? Zhongzhong?"

"..."

This name is cute but not suitable as a region name.

"Brother Qin is quite right. However, the name Guiliji is perfect as a place name for people to live in, but our purpose is not just that."

"Correct."

"..."

Qin Ye shook his head helplessly. He understood that Zhong Li wanted to be the victor in this war between demons and gods, so the name he was going to choose next was self-evident.

But how come these two suddenly started working together so well?

"Since the place name already uses our names, why not name the country after 'One Night'? And since the glass lilies here are just beginning to bloom, let's add the character 'glass' to it, and name it Glass Night..."

"Stop, stop talking. If you keep talking, I'll go back and carve out a second place for the people to live."

Chapter 280 The Demon God Seeks Help

In the end, Qin Ye agreed to take the character "Li" from "Liuli Baihe" (琉璃百合), as the character is also inextricably linked to minerals and happens to represent the kingdom ruled by the Rock God.

As for the character "night"...

If he were to think that the richest of the seven kingdoms would be named after him in the future, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.

So, at his strong suggestion, the character "月" (moon) was changed. Firstly, "月" is more suitable for the color of the glass lily in a literal sense, because one should not look at this flower under the blazing sun.

Additionally, "Moon" can also mean a surname, and surnames represent people. People, in turn, form a nation. The full name of Liyue also signifies a nation ruled by the Geo Archon.

I was worried that Gui Zhong wouldn't be comfortable with it, but to my surprise, she expressed her strong agreement.

"..."

Women in love are absolutely terrifying.

(Qin Ye, having regained his memories: Thank you, my past self. Otherwise, if I had actually used Li Ye, I would be utterly ashamed now.)

In the end, she handed over an item called the Lock of the Mortal World, which contained all her wisdom.

However, since she herself is still alive, it doesn't matter whether the lock can be unlocked or not. Rather, it's more like giving the wooden thing something to do.

"Qin Ye and I left something very important for you in there. If you unlock it one day, you will know everything."

She left behind this sentence.

Qin Ye did indeed conspire with her to do some tricks. Gui Zhong had originally planned to give up the Demon God status after the event, so Qin Ye had also made preparations in advance.

"However, your choice does overlap with my social status."

Before the three left, Qin Ye made a special effort to tease them.

After all, Gui ultimately intended to become a wise man to assist Zhongli and to give all her wisdom to the people. Among many options, she chose the most selfless one.

"Hehe, I still have a lot to learn from you. My knowledge may only be applicable to this period, but your knowledge... to put it another way, your views are ahead of their time."

"..."

After all, it was summarized step by step by our predecessors. Even if I am not very skilled, I can still get away with just a little bit of it.

"In short, the war is far from over, and we will still have to rely on the two of you then."

Qin Ye didn't intend to exaggerate his achievements too much, after all, his ambition lay elsewhere. Whether he assisted someone in becoming a god, it was merely a process; in the end, he wanted to become everyone's superior.

Unfortunately, we must find a way to back down now. This is not cowardice, it is strategy.

He decided not to disturb Gui Zhong and Zhong Li's happy time, so he left alone first.

Zhongli keeps calling me "Brother Qin" all the time, which makes people suspect that something is wrong with him.
