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

"Say what you want, as long as it's within my power."

"Recently, Brother Qin taught me not to spend money recklessly, so I didn't bring Mora with me. Now that I'm in mortal form again, I wonder... do you have Mora with you?"

Chapter 287 The Storm Is Brewing

"Where is Brother Qin? Didn't he come to work again today?"

Zhong Li found Qin Ye's office, but only saw a pile of documents on the table; Qin Ye himself was nowhere to be seen.

"..."

The files are like an ocean...

He had recently learned a lot about governance from Qin Ye. Even if he couldn't understand it immediately, he could always think about it and review it in his mind later.

However, this gave him a bad feeling, and Qin Ye had been going out frequently lately, making it impossible to find him.

Brother Qin kept saying that he had some important grudges to deal with, and Zhongli expressed his heartfelt concern.

Because Brother Qin always says that he can handle things on his own in many ways, but he can't be of much help when it comes to personal grudges.

"Hmm? Who's there?"

The thick stack of documents was carefully pushed aside, revealing the slightly mature face of Coconut Sheep.

"Your Majesty..."

Gan Yu muttered to herself, her gaze still somewhat unfocused as she looked at the other person.

"Hmm...Hmm? Your Majesty!"

She suddenly stood up, causing the documents in front of her to tip over. Gan Yu quickly used her hands to protect the documents, maintaining an awkward posture.

"Does Your Majesty have come here today on some important matter?"

"It's alright. I came here to see Brother Qin. Since he's not here, I'll head back now. Remember to balance work and rest, and don't overwork yourself."

Zhong Li smiled and reminded Gan Yu that the child was a bit too responsible, but also a bit absent-minded. She was completely outmaneuvered by Qin Ye, which was really...

"No, no, I'm fine." Gan Yu quickly waved her hands: "This is also a trial given to me by Lord Qin Ye. Only through continuous practice can I make significant progress."

"..."

Brother Qin, you even deceived such an innocent child...

-

"Why...why would someone do something so cruel?"

Gui Zhong helps the injured people repair their bodies. Under the power of the earth's veins, as long as the human body is under her control and not completely dead, she can pull them back from the brink of death.

"I'm afraid they're treating the Rock King Emperor's people as an unnecessary area of ​​protection."

Qin Ye touched the cut part of the tree, feeling the powerful elemental force on it.

This elemental power is definitely far from reaching the level of a demon god; it's probably comparable to that of an immortal. In his mind, only the future guardian yaksha has such strength.

"Besides, didn't I say we should treat each other like strangers for now and stop following me around?"

Qin Ye looked at Gui Zhong, his tone unfriendly.

We finally managed to get her to pursue Zhong Li, why do we have to get involved again?

"If you want to protect Colombia, then naturally I will protect my people as well." Gui Zhong's words were very clear; she wanted to participate in Qin Ye's plan.

"The people are one thing, but Zhongli is another, isn't he?"

Qin Ye spoke in a teasing tone, staring at the other person with a smile.

“I admit that this is one of the reasons.”

"I've always felt that not asking the person involved for their opinion is actually a very selfish thing to do," Qin Ye said, his voice tinged with confusion.

"Since you've already become selfish, why not go all the way with your selfishness?"

Gui Zhong used his powers to create a team of guards, who led the people who had been treated for their injuries away.

"Heh, you're right." Qin Ye shook his head, no longer paying attention to those distracting thoughts: "Sacrifice doesn't require so many people."

"Is this why you selfishly protect humanity and allow them to develop unchecked?"

The white-haired woman descended through the air, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "Dust Demon God, you should be a smart person."

"You've come much earlier than expected, you traitor." Qin Ye reached out and blocked Gui Zhongshen's path, his mockery palpable.

“Your recent tampering with the ley lines has been under the control of the Heavenly Principles. As the representative of the Heavenly Principles, I naturally have to come and stop your foolish behavior.”

Qin Ye burst into laughter, clutching his stomach as if he'd heard a joke: "Calling him an agent is less accurate than saying he's simply too busy to deal with me right now."

These days he has been clearing the stagnation points of the ley lines to facilitate a further connection between him and the ley lines, which will allow him to perceive the situation deep underground more clearly.

That is, the power of the abyss.

Originally, the ley lines would automatically protect against intruders, allowing Tianli to reap the benefits. With both sides weakened, he could control the ley lines and drive away the abyss.

Unfortunately, I'm the system administrator, so I just turned off the firewall.

The connection between Heaven's justice and the world had left him with no way to extricate himself, so he naturally suffered in silence and could only resist the abyss with his own strength.

The power of the dead demon god can be extracted, its essence discarded, and its powerful force poured into Tianli's body.

Unfortunately, it has to be sent back now.

"You only have the upper hand with your mouth."

The proxy tapped his palm lightly in the air, and countless voids instantly formed, approaching Qin Ye and Gui Zhong.

“Gui Zhong, you should return to your territory first. She came prepared this time and wants to settle things once and for all.”

"That's true. Once we get rid of you insects, the Abyss will be nothing. But do you think she can go back?"

"Who knows?" Qin Ye waved his arm, and the giant black hole instantly annihilated the void. The unstable force pulled at the proxy's body, causing her to show a terrified expression.

Why?

"Your power originated from Fanes. Do you really think Fanes is dead?"

Qin Ye's words were somewhat ambiguous, but it was precisely because he took advantage of the other party's fear of the name that his firm tone increased the likelihood of success.

"Damn it... even after all that, he still had a backup plan?"

"Don't look around, or you'll be annoyed if justice loses its representative, right?" The man appeared behind the enemy in the blink of an eye and kicked him into the ground.

-

"south?"

After Qin Ye left, Zhong Li kept watching the entire Liyue from the sky for several days without leaving, his heart filled with lingering worries.

He slowly opened his eyes. The southern sky was covered by dark clouds, lightning flashed, and huge waves surged.

The powerful waves crashed against Tianheng Mountain, which was filled with rock-elemental power, and unexpectedly fell silent.

"As expected of Brother Qin."

Zhongli flew rapidly southward. Qin Ye had already made arrangements based on the existing terrain and the distribution of enemies. The mountains in the south had become extremely solid under these arrangements, and were all under the control of the Emperor.

"Osel, since you have come to harass my Liyue, you should know what kind of end you will have."

"Morax, today is your death day!"

Its body, formed from water elements, exudes immense power; in the sea, it firmly believes itself to be invincible.

and...

A second demon emerged from the ocean, its eyes equally filled with determination.

Then came the third, the fourth...

"So that's how it is. This is what you rely on?"

Zhongli sighed, a murderous glint in his eyes: "Then today, let them all stay."

Chapter 288 The Girl Makes a Move

“Dust Demon God, you do not possess the powerful combat abilities of Morax. Of course, you are not Morax’s subordinate either. If you abandon darkness and embrace light now, I may spare your life.”

The demon god controlled his yakshas, ​​who then fought against Guizhong in the air.

Encirclement net...

Gui Zhong had naturally understood the current situation; Qin Ye wanted to end this war once and for all.

Liyue needs to develop. The war between the demons and gods cannot end within a hundred years. Generation after generation has spent a lot of resources on defending the land and sacrificing soldiers. Soon it will fall into a stalemate. The people will not be happy. Instead, they will witness more separation.

If this war is won, then Zhongli and Columbia's crimes will be cleared—namely, their crimes as accomplices of the rebels.

This encirclement must have been orchestrated by someone of extremely high status, and that person could only be...

Tianli fears the Demon God because someone among the Demon Gods controls the power he dreads. Even if Guizhong eventually hands over the divine status to Qin Ye, he will surely be labeled as an accomplice, right?

At that time, Zhongli will naturally suffer an undeserved disaster.

If she doesn't hand it over, it will turn into a battle between her and Zhongli, and one of them will definitely die. She's really been forced into a corner.

Liyue still needs the Geo Archon, but it doesn't necessarily need Gui Zhong and Qin Ye.

"Really, you planned all this from the very beginning, by lowering your own presence. Qin Ye."

He will need Zhongli's help in the future, specifically the position he infiltrates, which will undoubtedly play a crucial role at critical moments.

The war in the south...

She sensed the clash of demonic powers from the south and silently shook her head.

All that's left is the final step: Zhongli will eliminate all the demons in the vicinity. Although he will be under the watchful eye of Heaven, he is not a reckless person.

Now all that's left is for Qin Ye to disappear, and for me, as an accomplice, to vanish without a trace.

"I'm sorry, but I will not allow anyone to set foot in Liyue today!"

The civil official's loose robes instantly transformed into tight-fitting swordsman attire, and the long sword at her waist was drawn. Her expression revealed her determination at that moment.

Unfortunately, the sword techniques haven't been fully taught to Qin Ye yet. I just hope that he won't say that I was his swordsmanship teacher when he goes out in the future.
