Chapter 282: The Man Behind the Scenes

The "lady" of the eighth seat of the Fatui executive officer took the god heart from Zhongli nonchalantly, after all, the last god heart, she almost got it from the gods of the Wind Realm in the form of plunder.

She represents the supreme ideals and will of the Ice Empress, and she should be fearless.

However, when she took over the great object in the shape of a chess piece, an unprecedented feeling swept through her body.

Heavy, as if the weight of the earth itself ran over her nerves, transmitted from her fingertips to her brain like an electric shock, and she supported her arm with her other hand, as if she were holding not a chess piece, but a dazzling star.

She involuntarily lowered her head and gasped for breath, the weight of this god's heart, and the power of the "rock" it symbolized, were displayed in front of her for the first time, so that she understood.

God, do not take offense.

The woman's fingers twitched unnaturally, and her muscles throbbed, nearly knocking the heart of the god out of her hand.

"What's the matter, do the Fatui executives still have the habit of looking down for things?"

A slightly mocking voice came from the side, the person who spoke was Yao Luo, and of course he was the source of such an unexpected feeling for the lady.

Originally, the arrogant attitude of the lady was not likable, and I believe that with a little punishment, Zhongli would not mind.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhongli's eyes, and he could tell that Yao Luo was angry with him.

"You, you ............"

The lady's eyes were full of resentment, but the huge sense of oppression made her speechless, and she could only stare at Yaoluo viciously.

"Alright, Enforcer of the Solstice Country, now that the contract has been made, you should also leave this country."

Zhongli took a step forward, and his glass-golden eyes exuded a divine light that could not be offended, like a sun wheel.

He didn't give the lady a chance to play with it, and even if he lost the God's Heart and had to drag Liyue City with one hand, he was still the Martial God who was able to compete with the Demon God a thousand years ago.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Zhongli is really, if I had known that you were the God of Rock, I should have invited you to the Northland Bank earlier."

Tartaglia stepped forward to round the field, although he was secretly happy to see this annoying colleague deflated, but nominally they were still in the same camp after all.

The Fatui executives, each of whom is one of the most important combat forces in the Seven Kingdoms of Solstice, for the sake of the Winter Empress's great plan, Tartaglia will not dwell on the previous displeasure for the time being.

After all, this "lady's" loyalty to the empress is still visible from the sun and the moon, unlike the puppet.........

The thought of the man's appearance made Tartaglia disgusted and stopped thinking about it.

"Hmph, there's no need to pretend to care."

The lady waved her sleeves and walked away, now that the deal was made, she didn't need to be unhappy anymore.

After all, the two of them wouldn't be on the same ship and return to the Solstice.

Before leaving, the lady glanced at Ying condescendingly and said with a slight mockery.

"In that poet's country, you seem to have to sit idly by like this......

Leaving a nasty remark, ignoring Paimon's vicious appearance as he stamped his feet in the air, the lady snatched the door away.

Tartaglia was interested when he saw the "fighting spirit" on Ying's body, after all, for him, martial arts was the standard by which he treated strangers.

And now the aura on Ying's body is undoubtedly a master, his intuition tells him so.

"If you have the chance, you can have some fun with me, provided you can bear it."

After saying that, he also turned and left.

There was silence in the house, and looking at the two men in the room, Ying didn't know how to speak.

She first came to Liyue to find the Seven Gods and follow the clues of her brother.

And now Zhongli, is it a rock god, or not?

Anyway, Ying now has a sense of unreality.

"Forget it, I've been a riddler all the way, so let me explain."

Yao Luo walked out with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, a transparent fluctuation covered the space where the three of them were, making it impossible for others to know the content of the conversation.

After all, he was the one who had left Ying lacking her understanding of Liyue on a whim, so he had the obligation to explain the current situation to Ying.

"Come out too, Nahida."

With another wave of his hand, a four-leaf clover light in the shape of a green shoot also appeared from the side, and gradually, Nahida's young girl form also appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Ah, is there still a person here?"

Paimon covered his mouth with both hands, not expecting a "third party" to intervene in the conversation just now.

"Hello, I'm Nahida."

Nahida looked at Ying with curious eyes, and in the days when Ying left, she and Zhongli talked about national policies, governance, and various ideas, one with the vicissitudes of life, and the other with natural wisdom.

The two of them who had nothing to say quickly became like a year-old friend, and many of Zhongli's ideas and concepts benefited Nahida a lot, so to speak, Nahida's thinking has crossed from five hundred years to two thousand years.

"Ahem, first of all, let me say the conclusion, although you didn't catch up with the experience of this time, you finally reached a corresponding connection with this country at the most critical moment."

"And you've had an equally precious journey, haven't you?"

Ying thought about it for a moment, and it was true that although she had come back to save Liyue with the immortals in a daze, her journey in the Atlas was just as memorable.

Moreover, this credit should not be less than her credit for repelling Dvalin in Mondstadt, so Liyue's official attitude towards her will not be too bad.

Zhongli nodded on the side, Ying's performance in his eyes, and her physique .........

Zhongli looked at Yao Luo, thinking about the connection between the two.

"As for the reason behind why Zhongli made a deal with the Fatui, you can ask him as much as you like in the coming days."

"Even if the rock loses its weight, the traces he leaves behind will not easily disappear, even if Zhongli is no longer a rock god, there are still many things he can do, you can completely trust him."

Yaoluo pointed to Zhongli, who was now fully retired, and had often seen him get up in the middle of the night and look out at the sea somewhere in Liyue before Osier's attack on Liyue.

"As it should be, I will know all that I know, and what I can tell."

Zhongli made a promise as a reward for the traveler and for saving Liyue.

With this entrustment, Ying's heart was a lot more stable, after all, Zhongli also had a reassuring face.

And after completing the big event, she can also slow down her trip and carefully feel the culture and environment of this country.

"And, on my own behalf, I extend an invitation to the three of you to our Star Dome Train."

Yaoluo said, Xiang Ying, Zhongli, and Nahida each took out three glittering golden tickets.

"Star Dome Train, Yao Luo means, can we still go to that train flying in space in the future?"

Paimon's eyes flashed with a little star, after all, the view was truly unforgettable, and the snacks and desserts were good, except for the red-haired lady's coffee.

"Thank you, Yao Xiaoyou."

"Thank you, Yaoluo."

It was also the first time that Nahida and Zhongli had heard the name of Yaoluo's camp, and thoughts flashed deep in their hearts.

And when Ying took the ticket, a green invisible light followed Yaoluo's arm and completed the handover.
