The night is dark, the depths of the mountains and forests are getting darker and darker, and fireflies shuttle between the forest leaves, and the sound of insects chirps.

Yun Mubai sat on a section of broken wood, and the broken wood was split by the woman named Shenhe with her bare hands, and the terrifying power made Yun Mubai panic for a while.

Liuyun, who claimed to be not good at communicating with people, acted as the initiator and terminator of the topic of this meeting, and Yun Mubai was also quite interested in listening to the long history of the other party thousands of years ago.

After realizing that these immortals in front of him were terrifying beings who had fought with Liyue's Rock Emperor from the Demon God War, Yun Mubai suddenly had no objection to the details of their wedding.

After all, even the god of water at Fontaine had never participated in that fierce fight, so what could he, a weak ordinary person, think?

"Yes, what you said is very reasonable, immortals."

"Everything is up to you, I don't have an opinion."

Yun Mubai did not refute Liuyun's words of borrowing wind Zhenjun, and agreed one by one until he ......

"Liyue is still not safe, and I don't have to worry about the protection of the Seven Stars." The crane bird, which glowed blue in the night, flapped its wings, "Why don't you go back to the mountains with us?" ”

"Liuyun, this matter is not appropriate." Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun, who had been silent, waved his wings, and his business was sullen, "He is a mortal." ”

"He's a mortal, what's wrong with a mortal?" Liuyun borrowed the wind Zhenjun to raise his neck and roared, "My Shenhe has also lived with me for so long, and he has grown so big after eating Qingxin, you see how well I raised it." ”

Pure heart?

Yun Mubai was stunned for a moment, and his mind suddenly recalled Zhongli's simple science popularization of this medicinal herb that grew in the Liyue region.

Wait a minute...... Isn't that just eating grass?

He glanced at the tall, slender white-haired woman in horror, then turned back sharply and refused, "I'm willing to stay in Liyue Harbor!" I am not afraid of danger. ”

After finishing speaking, I realized that I had rejected too bluntly, and euphemistically wrapped layers of camouflage for my reason for refusal.

"After all, I also promised Lord Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, before."

"It's not good for you to have a conflict with the Seven Stars."

"Everyone is for the Rock King, not to mention that I have friends in Liyue Harbor."

Yun Mubai said as he looked at several immortals with sincere eyes.

"You talk a lot like an emperor." Liuyun borrowed the wind to circle around Yun Mubai curiously, and then agreed very eloquently, "Okay then." ”

She nodded, and then looked at her disciple, "Shenhe, you can stay and protect him, I see that it is not too early, so we will go back first." ”

After Liuyun finished speaking, he said hello to the two old friends around him, and then his long wings fluttered, and the wind was born under the feathers, and he flew away in a flicker.

"The mountain road is rough, be careful at night." The Cutting Moon Zhuyang Zhenjun, who had huge antlers, glanced back at Yun Mubai, and then a cloud appeared under his feet and stepped away.

Perhaps because they are deep in the mountains, the immortals of Liyue behave neatly and neatly, not dragging mud and water like mortals.

Yun Mubai looked at the immortals in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll send you back." Shenhe's familiar cold voice sounded in his ears.

"Wait!" Yun Mubai was stunned suddenly, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

"Shenhe Woman, I can go back by myself." Yun Mubai clasped his hands together and bowed reverently, "Please be sure not to send it." ”

"Oh." Shenhe blinked suspiciously, then nodded.

Without having to endure another double torture of □□ and spirit, Yun Mubai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The mountain path was indeed rough and difficult, but it was not difficult to move forward in the hazy moonlight, but the pace was a little slower, and it was not until the moon was in the middle of the sky that he returned to the door of the Hall of the Dead.

At night, the Afterlife Hall would light up the lights at the door, looking at the familiar road, Yun Mubai relieved his tense emotions all the way.

As soon as Yun Mubai walked to the door, the door was pulled open from the inside, and Zhongli's tall shadow blocked most of the light in the room.

"I hear your footsteps."

"Hey, what a coincidence, haha."

Yun Mubai's words and Zhongli's words sounded at the same time, and Yun Mubai, who realized what Zhongli had said, turned red in his ears, and hurriedly let Shenhe, who had been silent, to the main entrance.

"This, the Shenhe Woman, is a disciple of the immortals." After Yun Mubai finished speaking, his gaze swept between Zhongli and Shenhe. According to his conjecture, if Zhongli was an immortal, Shenhe, as a disciple of an immortal, should be able to recognize Zhongli.

But after a long time, Yun Mubai suddenly found that Zhongli still looked calm, and Shenhe's face was still like frost.

In short, it looks like it's unfamiliar.

Did I guess wrong?

Yun Mubai scratched his head, and couldn't figure out whether he regretted or what for a while.

Truly, he was curious about Zhongli's hidden secrets, and this curiosity grew more and more as time passed.

"Are you standing at the door to admire the moon?" Hu Tao's voice came from inside the door, and the girl poked her head out, a pair of beautiful eyes swirling around Yun Mubai and Zhongli, and then noticed a third person.

"Wow, Yun Mubai, you brought back a beautiful girl." Hu Tao blinked, and her voice was full of interest, "Is she an immortal?" ”

Shenhe under the moon has an ethereal temperament, who would deny that she is an immortal who is out of the world?

"I'm not."

Oh, she herself will.

Yun Mubai scratched his head and introduced Hu Tao: "This is a disciple of an immortal, and he may have to bother ...... during this time."

"Why do you talk like Zhongli is old-fashioned, are you infected?" Hu Tao waved his hand, looking indifferent, "As long as you don't mind my afterlife, you can live as you like." ”

After speaking, Hu Tao turned his head, opened the door and beckoned to Shenhe, "Come on, come quickly." ”

Shenhe nodded at Hu Tao with some restraint, and then stepped into the door, and Yun Mubai also followed him into the door. Zhongli stayed last, and closed the door by the way after entering.

"By the way, Miss Yelan from the General Affairs Department is also here."

Yun Mubai was not surprised when he heard this, the fact that he was suddenly taken away would definitely cause them to be nervous.

Yelan sat in the front hall of the Hall of the Dead, looking at the three people who entered the door, her eyes swept over a woman with long white hair who looked very unfamiliar, and bowed her head slightly before saying hello to Yun Mubai: "I'm sorry, this matter is not good for our guards, and I have already re-assigned new people." ”

"Uh...... It's not their fault. Yun Mubai was a little embarrassed.

“…… I also hope that you don't suddenly disappear next time. ”

Yelan's words of fifty boards each blocked Yun Mubai, who originally planned to say something good to the Millelith Army, didn't know what to say, he turned his head to look at Shenhe, and spread his hands: "Come, please state your opinion to this woman." ”

Yelan's gaze finally stayed on Shenhe's body, she looked at the other party's costume with a unique pattern, and quickly searched for a colleague with a similar costume in her mind - Yuehaiting, Ganyu.

Immortals?

Before he had time to think about the meaning of the immortal's intervention, Shenhe spoke, stating in a calm tone: "He has not disappeared. ”

"He's always there."

Yelan stared at Shenhe in silence, and felt a slight headache after realizing that the other party was actually answering seriously.

Just, it doesn't make sense.

"Well, I'm going back too." Yelan took out a notebook to record the incident, and then her coat was raised and she left in style.

In short, Liyue Harbor has arrived with an unsophisticated but powerful immortal.

Leave this kind of thing to Ningguang for a headache.

Seeing Yelan leave, a voice came from the back room of the Afterlife Hall.

Yun Mubai turned his head to look, only to see Sora and Paimon coming in through the back window of the house, and the little Paimon also gasped heavily, "I'm scared to death, I thought I would be captured by that person." ”

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Seeing Sora and Paimon's appearances, Yun Mubai also figured out what was going on.

Because of his sudden disappearance, Yelan of the General Affairs Department rushed over, and Sora and Paimon, who had no time to leave, could only hide.

"It's okay, it's okay." Paimon stretched out his arm and waved, "We'll just stay in the kitchen for a while, it won't matter." ”

"It's not your fault, and you can't help it." Zhongli's voice was calm, and his powerful palm pressed on Yun Mubai's shoulder, he slowly approached, lowered his head and admonished, "Then act with us, everyone is worried about your sudden disappearance." ”

“…… Everyone? Sora remembered the momentum that erupted on Zhongli's body at that moment, and then he didn't say anything, and kept his mouth tightly shut.

"yes, yes." Paimon was already a little dazed, but he was still floating around complaining, "I was surprised that you were gone." ”

"Sorry, Paimon is sleepy, I'll take her to rest first." Sora didn't look at Zhongli's expression and hurried back to the room with Paimon's footsteps.

"In that case, let's go to bed." Hu Tao also rubbed his eyes, "There are also a lot of cleaned up rooms here, do you want to pick one?" ”

Hu Tao's eyes looked at Shenhe, and Shenhe nodded knowingly, and opened his lips in agreement: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

Hu Tao left with Shenhe, and Yun Mubai and Zhongli were left in the hall.

After realizing this, Yun Mubai didn't wait for Zhongli to say anything, turned around in a hurry, and rushed to his room.

"Well, Mr. Zhongli, good night, see you tomorrow." The nervous sound was accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, and Zhongli looked at the figure that was running away, and slowly got up to extinguish the lights in the hall.

After the lights went out, starlight and moonlight poured into the room, and Zhongli calmly locked the doors and windows, and the entire hall was completely darkened.

"Huh." A slight chuckle sounded in the ink-covered hall.

Then, with the sound of steady footsteps, this inexplicable laughter slowly dissipated into the air.

————

In the middle of the night, Yun Mubai, who woke up from his sleep in a daze, looked at a figure projected on the window.

He was shocked in his heart, his sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and the whole person was scared into a cold sweat.

After finally discerning from the silhouette that it was the immortal standing outside the window who had met for the first time today, he suppressed his violently beating heart.

"Shenhe, can't you sleep?" Yun Mubai pushed open the window and looked at the white-haired woman holding a spear.

"No, Master asked me to protect you."
