This MC is so original

Even Yandora, who was curled up under Lu Xiu's arm, was awakened by Lao Feng's hurried knock on the door.

Lu Xiu picked her up and put her on the pillow, then pulled the quilt over her.

"You can continue to sleep."

Yandora blinked and fell asleep again obediently.

Lu Xiu quickly sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, walked to the door and opened it.

Old Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Xiu open the door. "Thank goodness you didn't leave without saying goodbye like you did before. Otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with this strange guest!"

"What kind of visitor could make you so panicked? Could it be Morax?"

"If it was the Emperor, I wouldn't be so panicked!"

Old Feng gave a helpless smile, grabbed Lu Xiu's arm, and walked him downstairs while saying, "This guest is not a human!"

"not human?"

Lu Xiu suddenly became interested. He had few non-human friends and didn't know many of them. Who would come to him at this time?

When Lu Xiu arrived at the hall, he didn't see any human figures or non-human creatures. Before he could ask Lao Feng, Lao Feng pulled him out of the hall and explained.

"The lady has gone to work, so I can only come to you, sir. After all, this is the first time I have met such a customer."

After walking out of the hall, Lu Xiu finally knew who the strange guest Lao Feng was talking about.

"Lottia? What are you doing here?"

The person who came was none other than Lodia, who had been beaten up and then subdued by Lu Xiu before. However, Lu Xiu had placed Lodia in Qingce Manor with the idea of ​​letting her roam free. After all, he looked down upon Lodia's strength. Unexpectedly, the other party actually came to his door the next day.

"Could it be that you miss me as your trainer?"

Lu Xiu's teasing words made Lotia glare at him angrily. She wanted to scold him, but when she thought of Lu Xiu's terrifying strength, she had to swallow her grievance.

"Um...what should I call you?"

Lotia originally wanted to directly state her purpose, but she suddenly realized that her relationship with Lu Xiu was very awkward, and she didn't know what to call Lu Xiu.

"Just call me boss like Osel and the others do."

"Okay, boss."

Lottie nodded to accept the title, and then stated her purpose.

"Boss, I came to you this time to ask you to seriously consider my suggestion from yesterday. I sincerely hope that through you, I can improve the environment in Fontaine!"

Chapter 233 Lei Movie's Employment

"suggestion?"

Old Feng was a little curious about what the pure water spirit in front of him had said to Lu Xiu. He couldn't help but lean over to Lu Xiu's ear and asked, "Sir, I know I shouldn't ask, but I can't help it. This should be the pure water spirit, right? Did she say anything to you?"

"You sure you want to know?"

Lu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Feng with ill intent.

Old Feng shuddered at Lu Xiu's expression and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "It seems like this isn't something I should know. Forget it!"

"No, no, no, it's too late for you to say that now. Lottia's suggestion is nothing special. She just wants me to go to Fontaine and overthrow the rule of the current Water God so that I can become the new Water God."

Old Feng, who had been planning to leave immediately, froze in place after hearing Lu Xiu's explanation. He slowly turned his head to look at Lu Xiu with a smile that was uglier than crying. "Sir, is this what an ordinary person like me should hear? Will I really not be silenced?"

Lu Xiu patted Lao Feng's shoulder cheerfully and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, no one here will kill you."

Old Feng still turned around and left tremblingly, saying: "I'd better go pour tea for the two of you..."

After watching Old Feng leave, Lu Xiu looked at Lottia speechlessly and said, "To be honest, I'm not very interested in being a water god. It sounds very tiring."

When Lotia heard Lu Xiu say this, she immediately became anxious. She had originally given up on Fontaine, but since she saw that Lu Xiu could make pure water, the idea of ​​improving the environment of Fontaine was rekindled. How could she give up this hope just like that?

"Boss, you really need to think about this carefully. That's the Water God! One of the Seven Lords of the Mortal World! High and mighty, truly second only to the Lord!"

"You already said I'm second only to one person. I prefer to be on top."

Lotia was speechless for a moment. If she could beat Lu Xiu, she would have wanted to punch him in the face!

I was talking about serious matters, how could this person be talking about something else?

While Lottia was still thinking about how to convince Lu Xiu, Yandora also flew to Lu Xiu's shoulder and landed.

"Hmm? Yandora, why aren't you sleeping?"

Lu Xiu raised his hand and touched her. Yandora rubbed Lu Xiu's palm intimately and then said, "I came here because I felt Lotia's breath. Lu Xiu, don't you really want to be a water god?"

Facing Yandora's innocent eyes, Lu Xiu patiently explained, "Yandora, nothing in the world is without profit. No one is willing to do something without benefit."

"That's the Water God. As long as you become the Water God, you can command the entire Fontaineland. Isn't that a benefit?"

Yandora was a little confused.

Lu Xiu continued to explain, "You only saw that the Water God could command all of Fontaine, but you didn't expect that as a Water God, you also have to shoulder the burden of taking care of the entire Fontaine. If you don't take good care of it, people in Fontaine will rebel, just like you are now. This will do more harm than good to me."

"Oh." Yandora nodded, not quite understanding.

Lu Xiu smiled and rubbed her little head, not expecting her to really understand, just take it slowly.

Lu Xiu then turned to look at Lottia and said, "This is what I'm thinking. Lottia, instead of continuing to persuade me, why don't you soak in the pure water yourself? Isn't it true that the better the water quality, the greater the power of your Pure Water Clan? You could soak in it for thousands of years. Once you're stronger than the Water God, wouldn't it be great if you could become the Water God yourself?"

Lottie sighed and shook her head, saying, "This is difficult. If the power brought to me by the pure water could make up for the gap between me and the Water God, I would not have defected to Fontaine."

Lu Xiu also spread his hands helplessly and said: "Then I can't help it. You can figure it out yourself. I'm going to take Yan Duola to have breakfast. If you haven't eaten yet, you can come too."

Lottie shook her head. "No, I don't need to eat human food. I'll take my leave now and come back later."

Lotia planned to go back and think it over, sort out her words, and then try to persuade Lu Xiu.

Just as Lotia was about to leave, Zhongli's voice came from not far away.

"Wait a minute."

Lu Xiu and Lottia both stopped and looked at Zhongli who walked in from the door in confusion.

Lodia couldn't help but feel happy. Could it be that Morax also supported her idea and was ready to help her persuade Lu Xiu?

Lu Xiu had the same thought and couldn't help but say, "Zhongli, you can't have the same idea as Lotia, right? That's not what you told me before."

Zhongli couldn't help but smile and shook his head, saying, "I won't take the initiative to disrupt the current composition of the Seven Ruling Powers in the Mortal Realm."

Upon hearing this, Lottia immediately lowered her head in disappointment.

Then Zhongli began to speak and stated the purpose of his visit.

"I came here to bring a message."

"information?"

"Well, Lu Xiu, as someone involved, you should remember that during the Inazuma Rebellion, there was another Fatui who joined the Doctor in disrupting Inazuma, right?"

After Zhongli reminded him, Lu Xiu immediately remembered.

"You mean skirmishers?"

"Yes, it was the Skirmishers. After the Inazuma Rebellion, Tartaglia and the Lady negotiated with Baalzebul a compensation agreement for the Fatui's troubles in Inazuma. Afterwards, in order to atone for their mistakes, or perhaps to use Baalzebul to eliminate the traitor, they informed her of the Skirmishers' whereabouts."

"But Baalzebul was determined to protect Inazuma and didn't dare leave her, so he told me the news and asked me to pass it on to you."

Lu Xiu asked in confusion, "Why would you tell me? I've only met San Bing once, and I can't really say I'm hostile to him. At most, I'm just angry at him because of the Doctor."

Zhongli smiled mysteriously, "Baalzebul's intention is to hire you to capture the Skirmisher and bring him back to Inazuma. After all, the Skirmisher was created by Baalzebul himself, and it is her responsibility to reform him."

"Hire?"

Lu Xiu suddenly became interested. He stroked his chin and said, "What price did Lei Dianying offer? I'm a very difficult person to hire. I think a god like her shouldn't be too stingy, right?"

Zhongli walked forward with a smile, moved closer to Lu Xiu, and used his body to block Lodia's sight. He stretched out his right hand, and a shadow quickly gathered in his palm.

"This is the price Baalzebul offered. Are you interested?"

The shadow of a chess piece condensed in Zhongli's palm, and the symbol of thunder element on the chess piece was slowly rotating.

"What is this?" Lu Xiu was a little curious. He had never seen anything like it before. "Chess?"

"No, this is the Heart of God."

Chapter 234: Departure for Xumi

"Heart of God?"

Lu Xiu thought he might have misheard, so he scratched his ears and turned them towards Zhongli.

"What did you just say? Lei Dianying wants to trade the Heart of God with me?"

Zhongli hummed heavily, "Haven't you heard that the price she paid was the Heart of Thundergod? Are you satisfied with this price?"

"no..."

Lu Xiu was confused: "I don't understand, can something like the Heart of God be traded?"

Unexpectedly, Zhongli couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Nothing is impossible. If the price is right, I can also 'sell' my Heart of the Rock God."

Lu Xiu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words finally converged into two words.

"Brilliant."

"So, Lei Movie is really serious?"

"Well, if you agree, I will write back to Baalzebul, and then you only need to bring the skirmishers back to Inazuma to get your reward."

"Okay, I agree."

Originally, Lu Xiu was worried about having nothing to do and no goals!

As a result, Lei Diandian directly gave him a job, and he had never seen such a magical thing as the Heart of God before. All of a sudden, Steve's collecting habit came up.

"Tell me the location of the skirmisher, and I'll bring him back to Inazuma right away!"

Lu Xiu rolled up his sleeves and wished he could rush up to the stragglers right now, beat him up and take him away.

"There's no rush. It's said that scattered soldiers have secretly crossed the border and entered Xumi, so you, Lu Xiu, may have to go on a business trip to Xumi next."

Hearing the word "Xumeru", Lotia, who was eavesdropping at the door, suddenly became alert: "Xumeru?!"

Lottia's exclamation immediately attracted the attention of Lu Xiu and Zhongli. Seeing that they heard it, Lottia simply flew over and looked at Lu Xiu seriously and asked, "Boss, can I go to Xumi with you?"

"Hmm? Lottia, don't you need to stay in Qingce Manor to recuperate?"

Zhongli was a little surprised. Yesterday, Lodia was beaten badly by Lu Xiu, and her injuries should not have healed so quickly.

Lottia said nonchalantly, "It's okay. You can recuperate slowly on the way to Xumi, but there's something I must bring back from Xumi!"

Zhongli and Lu Xiu immediately guessed what the object Lodia was talking about was, as she had mentioned it several times before.

"Is it the relic of the previous Water God?" A trace of sadness flashed in Zhongli's eyes. His familiar colleagues left one after another, and now there are only two left.

Lottie nodded. "Even if the boss doesn't want to be the god of Fontaine, as a pure water elf, we still have to reclaim the relics of the previous water god. We don't want to let the previous water god die in a foreign land."

"Okay, go ahead if you want to, just don't cause me any trouble."

Lu Xiu naturally agreed immediately. After all, it made no difference to him whether there was one more person or one less person.

Lottie was delighted when she heard this: "Thank you, boss."

Lu Xiu waved his hand to indicate that she shouldn't worry about it, it was just a small matter.

Zhongli was relieved to see Lu Xiu agreed. After all, it was Baalzebul who solemnly asked him to make Lu Xiu agree to help. If he was rejected, Zhongli really didn't know how to respond to Baalzebul.

"Since you've agreed, then my business is done. Do you want to go have a cup of tea together? I'll consider it as a fulfillment of my promise to you."

Lu Xiu thought for a moment and shook his head, rejecting Zhongli's invitation: "No need. To avoid wasting time, I'm going to leave now. You should save this tea for when I come back and celebrate."

Zhongli nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back to Liyue to drink this cup of tea."

After saying that, Zhongli left. Lu Xiu also turned around and walked back to the hall to say goodbye to Lao Feng and leave.

As soon as he walked into the hall, Old Feng came out with tea. Seeing Lu Xiuxing's hurried look, Old Feng immediately understood what was going on and sighed helplessly.

"Sir, are you leaving again?"

"Well, this time I plan to go to Xumi to capture someone. If everything goes well, I will be back soon."

"I understand." Lao Feng put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I'll explain it to the young lady."
