Is this okay?

Lei fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

"Leng Mo!! Why!!"

Suddenly, the eight divine children on Lei Yingdian's body transformed into human form, grabbing at Leng Mo with both hands like a wild beast, and even her face became half-human and half-beast.

You can imagine how furious she was at that moment!

Seeing Yae no Miko's anger, Leng Mo calmly asked, "Actually, you also want to stop her, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't usually be eating snacks and reading light novels on the mountain. Deep down, you're very hesitant. You know very well how terrible this matter is, and it could potentially lead to an irreversible tragedy. You've even been prepared to die in her place, haven't you?"

“Shadow is innocent! She just… just…” Yae no Miko couldn’t finish her sentence, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Because she knew that nothing she could say now was possible, and only anger occupied her mind.

"Why—! Why did you kill Kage?!"

She roared at Leng Mo in despair, trying to reach him with both hands, but was blocked by the white snake.

"why?"

Upon hearing this, Leng Mo's expression darkened, and he retorted with an air of supreme authority.

What makes you think that my initial target wasn't you?

"What?!" Yae no Miko's pupils shrank.

"Why did I tear Morax apart? Why did I obey you so readily? Why did I tell you the location of the Ancestral Manifestation right away? Didn't you ever consider that I really had a grudge against Morax? That's right, my target from the very beginning was you! Eightfold Divine Child!"

“Aa ...

Hearing Leng Mo's piercing words, Yae no Miko roared in fury, wishing she could devour the man before her.

Gan Yu and Ke Qing, who were standing to the side, were speechless at the sight. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan and the others ate their snacks even faster, making them incredibly appetizing.

then……

"Just kidding, pfft!"

Leng Mo suddenly reverted to his original form, looking at the Eightfold Divine Child with amusement and a comical expression.

At this moment, Lei, looking confused, sat up and rubbed his head, looking around strangely.

"I...I've lost..."

"..."

Yae no Miko was momentarily stunned, standing there blankly, somewhat at a loss.

The next second, she snapped out of her daze and rushed to Lei Yingdian's side, asking, "Ying, are you alright? I thought you..."

Yae no Miko, tears streaming down her face, hugged Lei Yingdian with great concern.

"It's nothing... it's just... it's all over..." Lei Yingdong lowered his head in despair, realizing that the situation was now completely beyond saving.

And the culprit is... Leng Mo!

For a moment, Lei stared at Leng Mo with anger and resentment, his expression filled with annoyance.

Unexpectedly, the moment Leng Mo saw this expression, he leaped and pounced in front of Lei Yingdian and Yae Shinji.

"Oh ho ho ho ho! That's the expression! That look of anger and resentment on your face! That's the expression I've always wanted to see! Hahahahahahahaha!!"

"..."

"..."

Lei Yingdian and Yae Shenzi were speechless for a moment, unsure whether to be angry or not, completely stumped by Leng Mo's actions.

So angry!

What's even more infuriating is that expressing it just played right into their hands!

"Wow--!!"

Unable to contain her anger at the terrible movie, she burst into tears, crying and making a scene.

"Ah this..."

Leng Mo was dumbfounded, caught off guard, and even had his knowledge of the subject stumped him.

I wonder if it's just my imagination?

I actually felt guilty for making a girl cry?

As expected of the crying and fussing True Lord...

I feel like I'm going to get punched!

Leng Mo's survival signals kept reminding him to be careful not to get beaten up.

Chapter 286 You're such a clever little devil!

But it doesn't matter!

They're bullying the enemy, not their own people!

So I can still survive!

"Waaaaaah... I... I want my older sister..."

Lei Yingdian sat on the ground and wailed loudly. She was completely devastated by the beating. Yae no Miko couldn't bear to watch her like that, so she hugged Lei Yingdian's head and comforted her.

Seeing this, Zhongli pinched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Although I don't understand what happened, I didn't expect that after five hundred years, you still haven't let go. No, or rather, it is precisely because you can't let go... that's who you are."

His voice was weathered, a testament to the passage of time and the wisdom he had gained through experience.

Zhongli didn't understand why Lei Yingdian wanted to kill her and destroy Liyue, but she could vaguely sense that this matter was not simple and should not be known to outsiders.

That strange situation earlier was definitely not intentional.

When Lei was about to reveal the truth, everyone felt something changed, as if the words to reveal the truth had been deliberately erased. That's why they didn't know what had happened, yet felt as if they had experienced it all.

So that's how it is. It seems this matter cannot be known to the world.

Zhong Li glanced meaningfully at Leng Mo, who was stunned by the terrible movie, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

It seems that it's not the kind of reckless and impractical approach that appears on the surface.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby make a pact regarding the events of today, stipulating that you shall never reveal any of this to anyone. At the same time, I will tell you the whole truth about this matter."

Zhongli's words drew everyone's attention, and then everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhongli's identity has already sparked some speculation, and many people now understand it, but the reasons behind it remain unclear.

Zhongli now intends to explain this matter through a contract, and no one has any objections.

"Thank you all. Let's go somewhere else to talk."

Zhongli saw that everyone smiled in unison.

After a short while, Ningguang instructed the Thousand Rock Army to start cleaning up the mess. Fortunately, there were no casualties this time. All the attacks were blocked by Zhongli, and the close combat was quickly ended by Leng Mo's actions.

After everyone sat down in the meeting hall that Ningguang had prepared, a certain silence fell over them.

Even the immortals were present, since this meeting concerned the relationship between Liyue and Inazuma.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhongli spoke up directly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the contract, I will tell you everything about this matter. First of all, I want to say that I am Morax. I believe you have already guessed it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Qing and Ning Guang nodded slightly, while Gan Yu's eyes widened as she stared at Zhong Li in shock, becoming excited at the same time.

The immortals didn't show any reaction to this; Zhongli had already communicated with them from the beginning.

"Does anyone have any questions now?"

"The Emperor must have his reasons for doing this."

Gan Yu looked at Zhong Li excitedly and expressed her support for the matter.

"..."

Zhongli paused slightly upon hearing this. Although he had his own agenda, he felt somewhat helpless being praised so unconditionally.

But it doesn't matter.

Next, Zhongli explained his thoughts and the purpose of this matter.

"Overall, I am very satisfied with Liyue as it is now. Liyue will enter a new era, an era of governance by people. I believe that everyone can make Liyue even more prosperous."

"Yes, Emperor."

Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu responded excitedly.

Such praise from the Emperor is something not everyone can receive.

"So... next, could you tell me why you wanted to do this?"

Zhong Li turned to look at Lei Yingdian beside her, her expression serious.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yingdian and Yae Shinko's faces were filled with sorrow, a feeling they couldn't quite put into words.

At that moment, Leng Mo suddenly spoke:

"Let's skip this issue."

"Hmm? Why?" Zhong Li didn't quite understand Leng Mo's meaning, but she knew that what Leng Mo was trying so hard to hide must be very problematic.

Leng Mo's expression hardened, and he said with great seriousness, "No one knows how toxic the air inside the bottle is; we'll only find out after it's opened. But by then, it's too late to save your life."

"I see." Zhongli frowned, understanding the situation, and lowered his head to think.

After a brief silence, Zhongli looked up and said seriously, "In that case, we can stop talking about this, but how can you guarantee that Thor won't tell anyone?"

“That’s easy. I can make Thor forget. It only takes a little trick.” Leng Mo revealed a friendly smile, full of confidence.

"But..." Yae no Miko wanted to say something, but then realized that she didn't seem to have the right to say anything, so she shut her mouth and didn't say anything.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, nothing is impossible!"

Leng Mo looked at the Eightfold Divine Child with complete certainty.

At this moment, Zhongli nodded and turned to look at Lei Yingdian.

"Your attack on Liyue won't end in a few words. I need compensation from you, and you must comply completely. In return, I need your unconditional help for Liyue. If you can do that, I can choose to let this matter rest, and we'll sign a contract. Also, Liyue will negotiate the compensation with you."

Zhongli's voice was filled with solemnity. He could put aside Lei Ying's murderous intent towards him and instead have Lei Shen unconditionally stand on Liyue's side when necessary.

“I understand…” Lei Yingdian nodded seriously, but the tears in the corners of her eyes made her look like a little girl.

After a brief discussion with Keqing, Ningguang turned to look at Lei.

"The compensation for Liyue is simple. I want you to cancel the Eye Hunting Order, open up Inazuma, and provide Liyue with various forms of compensation. All Liyue caravans must cooperate in the fairest way possible."

Ningguang offered compensation to Liyue, which did nothing to harm Lei's film; in fact, it was a win-win situation.

As long as Lei Movies stops isolating itself and staying in its dream-filled mind.

“No problem.” Lei Yingdian nodded, having no objection to this.

The negotiations lasted for three hours, and all the details were finalized.

……

After the meeting ended, Leng Mo sat in the lounge with a comical smile.

"Hehehe, now it's our turn to make our move."

"Hmm? What mischievous idea do you have now?" Senior Xiaoyuan immediately leaned closer out of curiosity upon seeing Leng Mo's comical smile.

"Want to know?" Leng Mo chuckled, his expression full of anticipation.

"Tell me quickly." Senior Xiaoyuan looked at Leng Mo expectantly.

"Of course, the premise is to revive Raiden Shin. Then we'll make Raiden Shin and Yae no Miko do this and that. Just imagine how interesting it would be if they didn't want to do it but had no choice but to. For example, we could make Yae no Miko turn into a fox and spank her with a slipper, or make Raiden Shin play Genshin Impact and gacha until she's depressed. And the money we spent on the game is still ours!"

"Hehe, you're such a clever little devil!"

Upon hearing this, Senior Xiaoyuan revealed a comical smile. How could she miss such an interesting opportunity? Ideally, she would know some tricks up her sleeve and trick Leng Mo as well.

Hiahiahiahia!

Chapter 287 You guys can't even come up with an excuse to beat people up!

In an instant, Leng Mo and Senior Xiao Yuan reached an agreement, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces, revealing a secret deal.

Gan Yu, who was serving coconut milk to everyone, couldn't help but look puzzled when she saw the two of them like this. Even Zhong Li, who was standing next to her, looked like an old man looking at his phone.
