Genshin Impact: I, the Winter Prince, reign supreme.

"Excellent, Your Highness. I will raise the interest rate on fixed-term deposits immediately. I believe that merchants will soon be eager to come to the bank to conduct business. With this huge sum of money backed by Her Majesty the Empress, the Northern Bank will be able to pay the enormous interest!"

As Pantarone withdrew, he said, “Your Highness, the commercial war in Liyue is nearing its end. I estimate that it will only take our Northern Bank about ten days to absorb this 100 billion Mora. During this time, does Your Highness have any arrangements or plans? Recently, many businessmen have written to me, asking me to arrange a dinner for them with Your Highness.”

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Liyue is in grave danger, while the powerful and wealthy are indulging in a life of pleasure and debauchery. Let them have their leisure time and deal with the upcoming difficulties for Liyue."

"Difficulties? Your Highness, do you mean the negative impact of the business war on Liyue?"

"The business war is just a bet between me and the Geo Archon, the purpose of which is to force Morax to hand over the Heart of God. According to the information sent by Arecino, Morax has reached his limit of wear and tear. If he can get through it safely, everyone in Liyue will be happy. If he can't, it will be a disaster for Liyue."

"His Highness must think that Morax is not going to make it through, which is why he mentioned the word 'difficulty'."

With a hint of amusement, Su Yu pointed to the ceiling and said, "Morax has lived too long, and he even wants to ally with Winter. The gods of Sky Isles won't let him off easily..."

Su Yu's words touched upon the struggle between the gods, which Pantalone couldn't understand or comprehend. After reporting his work, he hurriedly returned to the Northern Bank.

Donning the prince's cloak, Su Yu summoned the Hidden Mirror Lady to his side.

"Notify Xiao that we will meet at the Hall of Rebirth tonight."

"I thought Your Highness had forgotten about this."

“Xiao wants to see his eldest brother Fushe, second brother Minu, third sister Yingying, and fourth sister Fanan. Since I have promised him, I will never break my promise.”

"Understood, Your Highness. I will proceed to Wangshu Inn immediately."

……

Liyue, Dihuazhou.

Wangshu Inn is built on a huge rock pillar. Looking south, you can see Guili Plain and Guyun Pavilion on the distant sea.

The owner, Phil Gaudette, warmly received the lady from the Hidden Mirror. Nowadays, everyone knows that the Prince of Winter has a tall, voluptuous, and beautiful lady by his side.

This maid not only took care of Prince Zhidong's daily life, but also served as his secretary. She was one of Prince Zhidong's closest people, or it would be fair to call her Prince Zhidong's confidante.

"We apologize for not greeting you properly, esteemed lady. Is His Highness the Prince planning to visit Wangshu Inn?"

The woman with the hidden mirror coldly asked, "Are you inquiring about His Highness the Prince's itinerary?"

Phil Gaudette quickly denied it, "That's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand."

Seeing that her attitude was quite good, the lady of the Hidden Mirror instructed several attendants to wait downstairs and went up to the top floor of the Wangshu Inn alone.

At the highest point of the inn, with a wide view, a young man stood quietly by the railing; it was none other than the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, Xiao.

"Xiao, His Highness the Prince sent me to inform you that we will be meeting at the Hall of Rebirth tonight."

"Okay, thank you. I will definitely be on time."

"Are your injuries... alright?"

The lady in the mirror noticed that Xiao's clothes had several tears.

"There have been too many evil spirits on the streets in the last few nights."

Xiao didn't explain much.

But the woman in the mirror could tell that Xiao had probably been through several fierce battles in the past few nights.

"Xiao, I've heard that the Wangshu Inn in Liyue holds a secret. Can you tell me? By the way, this is just my personal curiosity and doesn't represent His Highness."

Xiao replied, "Wangshu Inn has no secrets."

"Rumors say that the Jade Pavilion is like Ningguang's all-seeing eye, and the Wangshu Inn is like her all-hearing ear, allowing Ningguang of Tianquan to monitor everything in Liyue. There are also rumors that the Wangshu Inn is a force of the Sky Isles..."

Xiao's voice remained calm as he explained, "These are just rumors deliberately spread by the boss to increase the mystery of Wangshu Inn and attract more curious customers. Just listen to them and don't take them seriously."

The woman in the mirror said with slight disappointment, "It's about the same as His Highness the Prince's guess. His Highness said that Wangshu Inn has no secrets, and if there has to be a secret, it's the Yaksha."

Xiao rarely smiled. "Your Highness sees things clearly."

……

That night.

Su Yu, Xiao, Hu Tao, and several other staff members from Wangshengtang went to Wuwangpo together.

Su Yu took out Mora and skillfully extracted the rock element power from it, then chanted a spell on Wuwang Slope.

"Your Highness, how do you know the incantations of our Hall of Rebirth?"

Walnut is hard to understand.

"Zhongli taught it."

This reason was, of course, made up by Su Yu on the spot.

His current strength is comparable to the Seven Gods, and he has almost reached the realm of omniscience and omnipotence. Moreover, with the support of the system, any knowledge he does not understand will instantly surface in his subconscious.

"No wonder. However, Zhongli Keqing has been missing for several days, so he's not going to keep his salary this month, hmph."

Walnut stood with her hands on her hips, her attitude very resolute.

Legend has it that Wuwangpo can connect the Yin and Yang realms, but this is not true; it only connects the power of the earth's veins.

Earth veins have the function of recording information.

In Teyvat, besides the World Tree of Mount Sumeru, the earth's ley lines also record history.

When people are alive, the earth's veins record some of their activities; when they die, they return to the earth's veins as pure energy.

Therefore, the earth's veins are like a USB flash drive that stores information.

Su Yu's promise to help Xiao reunite with his four old friends was based on this principle.

The phantoms of Fushe, Mi Nu, Yingdao, and Fa Nan emerged one after another from Wuwangpo.

Although it was just a phantom of the past, it felt as if it had been reborn.

Xiao could no longer hide his longing. Looking at the four familiar figures in front of him, he shed tears of emotion.

There is nothing to say about each other, but a thousand lines of tears.

Standing beside Su Yu, Hu Tao was moved by the scene before her and sighed softly, "I didn't know Wuwangpo had such a function. I hope His Highness can teach me this method. There are many clients at Wangshengtang who want to see their deceased relatives again."

“No problem, Master Hu Tao. However, summoning the undead phantom requires the power of the Rock King Emperor, and the Emperor's power can only be extracted from Moradang…”

“I understand. This kind of ritual requires a lot of Mora. But I believe there are still people willing to pay for it. Besides, our Rebirth Hall isn't in it to make money; we just need to break even.”

The ceremony ended a little over ten minutes later.

“Xiao, the total cost is one million Mora. However, since you have followed me, this fee will be waived.”

Xiao said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me fulfill my long-cherished wish. From now on, Your Highness may summon me at any time if needed. This is my real name..."

Xiao is just a pseudonym that Morax used.

If you tell Su Yu his real name now, he will hear you immediately whenever Su Yu calls his real name. This is a unique ability of the Yaksha clan.

Chapter 216 New Business

"Prince Zhidong is amazing. Using the magic of our Hall of Rebirth and extracting the unique rock elemental power of the Emperor from Moradang, he actually saw those who had passed away from the earth's veins. Such methods are simply like those of a god."

"What are you talking about? Have you ever heard of any of the Seven Gods who can summon the figures of the deceased from the earth's veins? The Prince has done what the Seven Gods cannot, so does that mean that the Prince's methods are more powerful than those of the Seven Gods?"

“That’s right, that’s right, His Highness’s ability in this field does indeed surpass that of the Seven Gods.”

"The key point is that His Highness the Prince is very generous. Haven't you noticed? His Highness promised Master Hu Tao that he would teach this skill to you."

The employees of Wangshengtang were amazed and praising Su Yu.

Although Hu Tao realized that Su Yu's methods were extraordinary, and that he had accomplished something that even the Emperor could not, she did not believe that Su Yu's abilities could be compared with those of the Rock King Emperor.

In her heart, the Emperor will always be the number one among the Seven Gods.

Hearing her employees' flattery, she only saw it as a form of sycophancy. The problem was that Prince Zhidong, standing beside her, showed no sense of shame at receiving such praise and instead acted as if it were his due.

Doesn't this Prince Zhidong know the meaning of humility at all?

Or does he really think he can compare to the emperor?

After helping Xiao fulfill his wish, the group was about to leave Wuwang Slope when suddenly Su Yu stopped and looked at the thick fog to the west.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"There's a ghost nearby."

"Really? I didn't feel anything. Don't be so suspicious."

Hu Tao became a little nervous and moved closer to Su Yu. To be honest, she couldn't believe that she would be afraid of ghosts one day. The main reason was that she trusted His Highness the Prince completely. When the Prince said there were ghosts, it meant there really were ghosts, and they were ghosts that she couldn't sense. This made her feel psychologically pressured.

Su Yu chuckled and said, "Master Hu Tao, did you put on perfume before you went out?"

Hu Tao then realized that she was too close to Su Yu's body, and her face turned slightly red. She laughed and said, "I'm always in contact with corpses, and the Rebirth Hall is filled with the smell of rune ink and incense all year round, so it's inevitable that I'll have an unpleasant smell on me. I sprayed some on before I left, hehe."

"So you specifically wore perfume so that you could travel with me?"

Faced with Prince Zhidong's seemingly all-knowing smile, Hu Tao snorted and said, "Your Highness, why don't you tell me where you found the ghost?"

"Behind you."

"How could that be? Your Highness, please don't joke like that. I'm surrounded by employees of the Hall of Rebirth."

Hu Tao was skeptical, but she still carefully observed the people behind her. She immediately took out her defensive magic weapon and runes and said, "There are clearly ten people in the team, so how come there is one more person?"

All eyes turned to the back of the line, where an employee kept his head down and did not respond when Hu Tao called him.

"You audacious demon, how dare you infiltrate our Hall of Rebirth's ranks!" With that, Hu Tao was about to make a move.

Hu Tao launched an attack, and a strange black smoke emanated from the person's body.

"Master Walnut, watch out!"

Xiao hurriedly issued a warning, but it was too late. Hu Tao rushed forward and was frozen in mid-air by the person's powerful strength.

Hu Tao panicked.

She had been exorcising demons for many years, but had never encountered such a powerful evil spirit. She had no chance to resist and was controlled by it.

"Master!"

"Master, be careful!"

"What should we do? Your Highness, Lord Xiao, please save my master!"

Xiao nodded solemnly and immediately made his move.
