He had already gone blind as soon as he arrived in Genshin Impact.

Chapter 73 How can I support my wife without Mora!

--abyss

Kong watched the entire struggle of the Liyue people, and the only thing that surprised him was that Liyue's immortal weapons had reached this level.

It was actually able to severely injure a demon god at his peak. If I had possessed such a weapon back then, would the outcome have been different?

Kong didn't know, because history couldn't be changed, things were already set in stone, and he had things to do.

It's a bit of a shame that we don't know the exact state of the Geo Archon. After all, we're secretly stirring things up, but there's a Geo Archon lurking in the background, which puts a bit of pressure on us.

Moreover, it was that outsider who disrupted this test, which gave Kong a headache. However, the only thing that made him feel relieved was that the operation of the Layered Rock Abyss was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Without any disturbances, the progress naturally accelerated considerably.

"May you be freed from the pain of the curse."

Kong muttered to himself, then closed his eyes, seemingly recalling something.

——Qunyu Pavilion

A few days after the war with the demon god ended, Wu Di received an invitation from Ning Guang to attend a celebration party for friends. Most of the attendees were people he knew, so there was no need to worry about strangers.

Ningguang now has a firm grasp on Wu Di's mind. Ever since the last Seven Stars meeting, when Wu Di said he would leave first, Ningguang roughly understood that he was someone who was not used to being with strangers.

He also suggested that Ying and Paimon could be brought to the banquet, and that Ying should be properly thanked for what she had done, not only for protecting the Emperor's remains but also for driving away the "young master" of the Fools' Enforcers.

After reading it, Wu Di felt that since they were all acquaintances, he had no reason to refuse. That evening, he took Ying and Paimon to Qunyu Pavilion.

Paimon was very excited along the way. She had already begun to imagine the delicacies at the banquet and was curious about what the rich woman Ningguang ate every day.

Wu Di and his group arrived at Qunyu Pavilion and found that there were not many people attending, just Ningguang, Ganyu, Keqing, himself, Ying, and Paimeng, which seemed to be a gathering of acquaintances.

Gan Yu warmly invited Wu Di to sit next to her. Her master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, told her that through his observations over the past period, her beloved was destined to have many romantic entanglements, but he was unaware of it.

If Gan Yu doesn't take the initiative, she might not even get a sip of soup. She needs to be more proactive, because Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun is still waiting to hold his grand-disciple.

The master's words made Gan Yu feel a sense of urgency. She didn't want to watch Xiao Di get married and not be the one by her side.

Gan Yu calmed herself down and decided to take the initiative to become someone who stood by Wu Di's side.

In response, Gui Zhong stated that the Golem is unaffected in version 2.0.

Without much thought, Wu Di accepted Gan Yu's invitation and sat down next to her. Ying also sat down next to Wu Di.

The banquet began quickly, but before she could even pick up her chopsticks, Ningguang stood up and said a few words. She then thanked Wu Di and Ying for their help during Liyue's crisis, saying that she would remember their kindness, and the people of Liyue would remember it too.

Then Ningguang indicated that it was time to eat, and Paimon, who had been waiting for this moment, quickly began to eat, devouring the food like a whirlwind.

Moreover, many of these delicacies are ones that Gan Yu can eat, which shows how much care Ning Guang put into their preparation.

During the meal, Wu Di asked Gan Yu in a low voice if the immortals had all returned home, and when he should visit them so as not to seem abrupt.

Wu Di's proactive approach stemmed from Gui Zhong's idea: now that Liyue had returned to peace, he could go see his old friend and expose the truth behind that stinky rock's desire to retire and slack off.

This led Wu Di to believe that the final thought was probably that he wanted to see his old friends.

Wu Di's initiative surprised Gan Yu for a moment, her face flushed slightly, and then she immediately realized that she could go anytime, but she should tell him the time when she went so that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun could prepare.

After listening, Wu Di nodded and decided to go tomorrow. He also secretly told Gan Yu about his idea of ​​returning to the end.

Upon hearing this, Gan Yu thought it was no problem. She could gather all the immortals together under the guise of a party, but that would mean she couldn't go tomorrow; she would need time to inform them.

After listening to Gan Yu's words, Wu Di postponed the meeting to the day after tomorrow, so that he would have more time to prepare.

After talking with Gan Yu, Wu Di turned to Ying and asked if she wanted to go with him, but Ying refused.

She stated that the one million Mora commission was not yet completed and had been delayed for several days due to Osel's actions.

Ying can't sleep or eat until he gets his hands on one million Mora, because how is he going to support his wife without Mora! (With complete confidence)

Wu Di paused for a moment, then decided that if something else was going on, then so be it; they would discuss the matter of returning to the capital another time.

The banquet continued...

Liyue Harbor

The people of Liyue Harbor have been in a state of excitement for several days because of the feat of a mortal defeating a demon god. Moreover, the story of a mortal defeating a demon god has become the main topic of conversation among the people of Liyue after meals, and many storytellers have even been working overnight to adapt existing stories, since there are very few legends with mortals as their subject matter.

It's happening right in front of us, how could we not ride this wave, especially in the realm of traditional opera, where various versions have already emerged.

However, in all these versions, there appears to be a "girl" with white hair wearing a fox mask. The girl's name is unknown, but it is revealed through the account of Qian Yanjun at the scene.

It is generally believed that this "girl" is a hermit living in the mountains who stepped forward to help when Liyue Harbor was threatened.

They called this immortal "True Lord of Ice-Treading Dragon-Riding", and he traveled swiftly on the ice path, then rode a dragon to fight against the demon god and defeated him.

After all, the appearance of those three water dragons was clearly visible to the people on the shore, who for a moment wondered if they had wandered onto the wrong movie set.

Furthermore, many people have said that they had seen the immortals playing in Liyue Harbor before, accompanied by companions.

Then the topic of immortals became popular, and the fox masks worn by immortals also became popular, and some merchants took the opportunity to make a profit.

Then the news reached Wu Di's ears, forcing him to give up his current fox mask, but Ying said it was unnecessary.

Because of the current popularity of Wu Di's character, many imitators have emerged in Liyue Harbor, so rather than changing it now...

It's better to let nature take its course.

After all, who knows if one of the imitators will be the real deal?

Chapter 74 The Stone Golem is unaffected

The next day, Gan Yu returned to Jueyun Pavilion to inform the immortals, while Ying and Paimeng continued to complete their commission with Zhongli.

Ningguang and Keqing continued to work, as there were still many new policies that had not been fully implemented. They needed to take advantage of the high level of trust that the people of Liyue had in the Seven Stars to implement these policies.

According to the contract, Zhongli also gave the Heart of God to the "girl," and then the "girl" gave the Heart of God to D'Artagnan, asking him to return to the Eastern Kingdom.

D'Artagnan looked at the Heart of God in his hand and felt like crying but couldn't. It turned out that he was the only one who had been kept in the dark and had been beaten up. What made it even more infuriating was that he hadn't even won the fight.

Thinking about it this way, D'Artagnan felt even more like a clown. He took the Heart of God and immediately embarked on his journey back to the Eastern Kingdom. He wanted to leave this sad place.

Then Wu Di realized that he was the most relaxed one, but there was nothing he could do but take a walk on the shore and listen to audiobooks.

By listening to audiobooks, Wu Di was able to learn about many interesting legends from the past of Liyue, although they usually talked about the great achievements of the Geo Archon.

But today is different...

"Today, we will not talk about the Rock King Emperor, but about this 'True Lord of Ice-Treading and Dragon-Riding'."

"The fact that the True Lord has never appeared in any of the legends of Liyue suggests that he is an immortal who does not seek fame or fortune."

"However, in the recent battle against the demon god Oser, this True Lord stepped forward, rushing towards the demon god on the ice path, and then used immortal magic to summon a three-headed dragon, directly turning the tide and defeating and sealing the demon god again."

"This is also the origin of this immortal's name, 'True Lord of Treading Ice and Controlling Dragons,' which is a very accurate description."

"This indicates that this person is..."

Wu Di couldn't listen to the rest because he got goosebumps. Was it really so embarrassing to hear someone exaggerate what they had done?

Nobody likes to listen to others talk about what they did in the past all the time, right?

Zhongli: ?

There was no way I could listen to the audiobook anymore, so I just wandered around. I bought a candied hawthorn, picked two off by hand, and then secretly handed them to Jelly and Dulin, who were hiding on my shoulder.

During his time in Liyue, he shared this with his friends, because sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone.

"Thank you, Little Digu."

"This stuff is sweet and sour, I like it, haha."

"If you like it, that's fine."

Wu Di responded with a sound, and then walked around like a vagrant. Although he had white hair and wore a fox mask, passersby only glanced at him before continuing with their own business.

After all, there were just too many imitators, countless in number. Of course, there were also those who took the opportunity to swindle and cheat, and they were directly imprisoned by Qianyan Army and forced to sing a song called "Tears Behind Bars".

Sometimes he would run into Ke Qing, but Wu Di didn't bother her because of her hurried figure. However, he didn't notice that someone was following him closely.

Incidentally, Ningguang had promised in a private chat that she would cover all of Wu Di's expenses for the rest of his life, which made him feel quite flattered.

Ningguang then said that Wu Di deserved it, and that if it weren't for him, Liyue Harbor might have been destroyed. She even felt that it wasn't enough.

Wu Di quickly shook his head, indicating that the reward was already too much, frighteningly so, and he dared not accept it. However, under Gui Zhong's encouragement and Ning Guang's words, Wu Di could only nod and accept Ning Guang's reward.

-

After sending D'Artagnan back home, Columbia stayed behind. After all, she had no reason to go back, and recently the Fatui were being closely watched by the Thousand Rock Army. Every time someone went out, a small squad of Thousand Rock soldiers would follow behind.

So Columbia sat idly on the windowsill, watching the crowds below, and then she saw that familiar white hair and scent. Columbia then jumped down and went to find Wu Di.

As for the Thousand Rock Army's surveillance, you are monitoring the third seat of the Fools, "The Girl," what does that have to do with my Columbia?

Columbia followed Wu Di with light steps.

But Yelan disagreed. She insisted on having it all and followed Columbia to see what she was up to.

-

Then the three of them walked along the street step by step, which was very strange, but because of the cover provided by the pedestrians, it became perfectly normal.

Wherever Wu Di went, Columbia followed, and so did Ye Lan, like a nesting doll.

As he walked, Wu Di arrived at the railing on the shore, then placed his hands on the railing and leaned against it, appearing quite relaxed.

Behind me came the cries of vendors and merchants, and in the distance, I could hear the laughter of children; everything seemed so peaceful.

(Note: The protagonist is not socially awkward; he just feels uncomfortable when looked at by many people, especially strangers, because of what happened in Mondstadt.)

"Wu Di~, what a coincidence, we meet again~."

Some familiar voices sounded from behind, and then a figure came to Wu Di's side. He turned around and asked tentatively.

"Columbia?"

His words were full of probing, but that's understandable, since this was only their second meeting since that day.

"You still remember me? That makes me so happy."

Columbia's tone clearly revealed her joy, because she was unsure if Wu Di still remembered her, and hearing him say her name now made Columbia feel relieved.

"Can I call you Xiao Di?"
