My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

The woman who had decided to give Xia Qing a chance to surrender realized that things were not going well and decisively took action. Xia Qing quickly retaliated against her attack.

With the frost spear gathering in her hand, the woman fully unleashed her divine power.

It seemed that the battle with Morax had indeed exhausted him, and he was completely at a disadvantage against the lady who wielded divine power.

"Die, Abeldo!"

Realizing her assessment was correct, the woman pressed her advantage, preparing to finish off Abedo with this final blow. Seeing this, Xia Qing's expression changed: "Young Master, save me!"

Meanwhile, the Thousand Rock Army of Liyue had already formed ranks and were ready for battle at any time, while Ningguang's subordinates, who had gone to inform the Great Sage of Demon Extermination, were still on their way.

The frost spear pierced the dazzling golden ring, and the lady's attack was thus greatly reduced.

"Madam, it seems you've misunderstood something."

As soon as Xia Qing finished speaking, a figure moved with lightning speed, blocking the path between him and the lady. The water condensed into a sword, cleaving the lady's frost spear, which had been weakened considerably by the protective ring.

The young master, who attacked with all his might, successfully gained the upper hand in the surprise attack, while the lady who jumped down in this situation kicked the young master directly with her right foot.

The young master's sword struck the lady, sending her flying. After calculating her landing position in mid-air, she adjusted her posture and landed perfectly with her left hand supporting her weight.

"Young master, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing the young master and lady's furrowed brows, Ningguang muttered to herself:

"Prince Tartaglia, the lowest-ranking executive officer of the Fatui, so has this turned into a conflict within the Fatui again?"

Ningguang was beginning to suspect that the Emperor was not actually dead, which explained the intensity of the previous battle.

However, that level of combat is not at all in line with the Emperor's level of combat, which is capable of changing the landscape. Moreover, he had read about some cases of the fall of demon gods in the ancient books collected by his predecessor, Tianquan.

Unlike the original history of this Genshin Impact world, Ningguang lost the speculation that the effects of the Emperor's death in the sky did not affect Liyue Harbor.

Moreover, as the faith of the people of Liyue, the death of the Geo Archon is not something that can be easily accepted.

Ningguang, with her extensive knowledge, was able to barely maintain her composure, while the humans nearby, who had no understanding of demon gods, were in a state of panic.

"Oh no... if this continues..."

This state of panic also included Yuheng Keqing. Having witnessed the Emperor's death and running towards the location of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, Keqing already sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

Even I was momentarily flustered just now, let alone the ordinary people of Liyue Harbor.

"I think I know what you're worried about. In that case... leave this to me."

The illusion of the secret code beside Keqing was condensed. Keqing's pupils shrank slightly when she saw this. What... is going on?

Mitchell, that's fast!

"In short, if you can do it, it's not impossible."

But you're preparing..."

Before Ke Qing could even ask for the method, the figure of the Secret Contract vanished from its spot. On the other side of the battlefield, Xia Qing, sitting on the ground with her head down and panting, deactivated the illusion of the Secret Contract.

Next, let me carry out Yuheng's terrifying conspiracy.

The young man standing in front of him looked at the lady with an air of complete control and said, "Everything is going according to plan, except for you, madam."

Seeing the hint of impatience in the ladies' and gentlemen's tone, and knowing that things should have progressed as originally agreed, the next part of the script should have been Abedor handing over the Heart of God to him, thus accelerating Her Majesty the Queen's plans. But now...

Chapter 595: Lady: The clown is actually myself?!

"Your...plan?"

Looking at the young master and lady not far away, their pupils were filled with disbelief. "Young master, you can even make plans? You must be joking."

According to your thinking... shouldn't you just go up and try fighting first, then run away if you can't win, and then try to weaken the Rock King Emperor to continue the fight?

Looking at the lady who was staring at him as if she had seen a ghost, the young master said with a hint of helplessness, "Don't mistake me for a battle maniac who only knows how to fight."

"do not you?"

The lady asked the young master in a cold voice about his discovery, while the young master rubbed his temples in annoyance.

He simply didn't like to think too much when facing weaker opponents he could easily defeat. The fickle, inexplicably unhappy lady's tone made him seem like he had no brains.

Of the thoughts in the young master's mind, "nonsensical" and "unhappy," the latter is now truly fitting.

What on earth is this young master up to? No matter how you look at it, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, right?

Seeing the young master's and lady's sudden change of expression, as if they had realized something, they exclaimed, "Where did you hide the young master?!"

???

D'Artagnan looked completely bewildered at the lady who suddenly refused to recognize him as the young master, while the lady took a few steps back in a somewhat embarrassed manner upon seeing that familiar expression.

“Madam, in Lord Datalia’s plans, you are nothing but a clown.”

Xia Qing, disguised as Abedo, spoke in a leisurely voice, while the lady glanced at the young master with a complicated expression.

I thought the Joker was Tartaglia, but I never imagined the Joker was actually myself!

He had previously failed to live up to Her Majesty the Empress's trust in Mondstadt and had shamefully failed to obtain Diluc's Heart.

Meanwhile, in Liyue, the Prince has even recruited Abedor, a Mondstadt warrior whose strength far surpasses that of the Anemo Archon.

The Celestial Cleric directly dispatched Mondstadt's men to assassinate the Rock King. What audacity and terrifying scheme!

If the young master's plan goes smoothly, Zhi Dong can completely extricate himself from the upcoming political vortex.

After all, the assassin had no connection whatsoever with the Fools; on the contrary, he held the position of chief alchemist in the Knights of Favonius.

Looking at the young master, the lady shook her head and said, "It seems I underestimated you, Dadalia. This time, I... have failed Her Majesty the Queen."

"I never imagined you could get the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt to swear allegiance to you. Too bad, your plan to divert trouble has been thwarted by me."

Seeing the lady and gentleman not far away fall silent, was this a case of trouble stirring up trouble?

Wait, does the lady mean that Mondstadt and Liyue can be put into war through Aberdos?

Abeldo actually has the identity of Chief Alchemist; what he claims to be is not just empty talk.

While the young master remained silent, Ningguang, who was pretending to be invisible, hurriedly sent people to assemble the troops, while also thinking that the young master's apparent lack of guile was mostly a facade.

It will be necessary to intensify surveillance of the young master in the future.

As Ningguang thought this to herself, Keqing was still on her way, but the lady suddenly paused, then showed an expression of sudden realization.

"I see. It seems I underestimated you, Datalia."

I knew it! That's why you'd persuade someone as powerful as Abedor, who holds a high position in Mondstadt, to swear allegiance to you.

After recalling how Abedo joined Mondstadt and why he chose to stay despite his high level of alchemy skills, I finally realized something.

D'Artagnan, you were the one who devised the plan to send Abedor to infiltrate Mondstadt, weren't you?

And I never expected that you would have connections with that great adventurer, Tartaglia. I underestimated you after all.

?

Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the lady and the gentleman, they wondered what this woman was talking about.

Abedo is a spy I planted in Mondstadt? How could that be? Where would I find a spy to plant in Mondstadt?

Besides, Liyue, which I'm in charge of, is already troublesome enough, so how could I have time to cause trouble in Mondstadt?

The young master then revealed a somewhat subtle expression. This lady's imagination was rather vivid. Looking at her, he remained silent for a moment before saying in a helpless tone:

“I have never sent a spy to Mondstadt.”

The lady, slightly taken aback upon discovering that she was actually a clown, then left, realizing the mistake she had made. She understood that Abelard, the spy prince planted in Mondstadt, would likely be useful in the future.

If it were me, I'd probably stage a scene where he's being controlled to clear Abedor's name, allowing him to remain hidden in Mondstadt and deliver a fatal blow to the Knights of Favonius at a crucial moment.

Oh no, I'm not feeling right today. The impact of my unbalanced mindset is so huge that it has repeatedly interfered with the plans made by the young master.

"I'm sorry, I really lost my composure today. I didn't expect to expose your even more terrifying, hidden plan."

?

What kind of terrifying plan?

Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the lady and the gentleman, wondering what this executive at the same level as them was talking about, they wondered if the lady was overthinking things.

The young master and lady, completely bewildered by the situation, couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. It was too, too powerful.

Is this the acting of Prince D'Artagnan, whom I've never been able to see through? This expression that makes him seem completely oblivious to what's going on.

"Lord Tartaglia, now that we have the Heart of God, there is no need for us to stay here any longer."

Although in my prime, I, Abedo, could easily take on an entire army single-handedly, ... I have now endured two consecutive battles and am severely wounded. Please excuse me for taking my leave.

Xia Qing gave the young master face and helped him put on a show. As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Qing showed that she was ready to make a quick getaway.

Meanwhile, Ningguang was still gathering her troops. Faced with this situation, Ningguang knew that she could not delay any longer. Gathering troops was not the priority; she needed to stop these guys who treated Liyue as nothing.

"Soldiers, draw your spears!"

As Ningguang, the elite of the Thousand Rock Army, gave the order, Keqing was also about to arrive at the site of the Summoning Ceremony.

"For Liyue!"

"Shenbi, the chief instructor of the Thousand Rock Army, shouted, and then, under Ningguang's instruction, he led the Thousand Rock Army to advance."

Before they had even taken two steps, the world suddenly changed. A faint blue light appeared, followed by frost and snow falling from the sky.

Meanwhile, the "dead" Rock King Emperor let out a series of dragon roars that soared into the sky. The Rock King Emperor's resurrection caused the two Fatui executives to change their expressions. Could it be that Morax was just pretending to be dead?

Chapter 596: Xiao: The Emperor must have some deeper meaning behind doing this!

Snowflakes drifted down like cotton wool, and in just a few seconds, Liyue transformed into a frosty sky.

Upon seeing this scene, Keqing almost had a heart attack. How long would it take to clear such a thick layer of snow? The negative impact this would have on Liyue's work efficiency was immeasurable.

As Ke Qing thought this, the chief instructor of the Thousand Rock Army subconsciously took a few steps back as he watched the "Morax" soaring into the sky.

"The Rock King has risen from the dead!"

In the legends of Liyue, there are many rumors about things like zombies.

However, thanks to Morax's past reputation, not many people at the scene immediately thought of contacting the exorcism family.
