Chapter 19 Chapter 19 The man acts until you cry.

"To be precise, what is your purpose in traveling in this world, brothers and sisters from another world?"

Gojo Satoru put his hand on Geto Suguru's shoulder and glanced at Li Xiaoqi, Dazai Osamu and Zhongli.

The wind blew through the pit, creating a humming echo. The few people standing in the center of the ruins were very quiet at this moment.

When Li Xiaoqi heard Gojo Satoru's words, she looked at Dazai Osamu with hesitation.

Dazai Osamu faced Li Xiaoqi's gaze, slowly turned his head, and looked at Zhongli who was standing upright.

Zhongli silently looked at Geto Suguru who asked the question. When he met his puzzled eyes, his expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu's eyes lit up and he looked expectant.

Li Xiaoqi raised his hand and scratched his cheek, smiling silently and awkwardly, with a look of distress lingering between his brows.

She was thinking about how to get around it...

Previously, he had persuaded Gojo Satoru and the others to believe that he and Dazai Osamu were not from this world. Now, he suddenly appeared at the place where Gojo Satoru and the others were on a mission and blew up the whole area. It was very suspicious no matter how you looked at it... no, even more suspicious.

So, is that why you ask the purpose of your trip?

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then said gently, "Excuse me for interrupting you. I am Morax, the precious gold god of Teyvat. I was once the god of a country called Liyue. Now, I have retired from the throne and wander the mortal world under the name Zhongli."

ha?

Suddenly revealing his true identity?

Doesn't this match Zhongli's words and actions?

Li Xiaoqi's expression went blank for a moment, and he was suddenly confused by this operation.

Suddenly, she felt someone grab her sleeve and shake it.

Li Xiaoqi turned her head and saw Dazai Osamu shaking his head slightly, signaling her not to speak.

She blinked slowly and nodded blankly.

Zhongli looked around, an apologetic look on his face. "I'm truly sorry. My good friend Xiaoqi and her brother were in danger here, so I had no choice but to call me here. I failed to control the force properly in the critical moment, and the damage was caused. It's my fault."

The expressions of Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko gradually stiffened, and cold sweat slid down their foreheads.

Li Xiaoqi understood, her eyes turned red, she grabbed her wrist, bit her lower lip, and sobbed silently.

At this moment, Li Xiaoqi felt the feeling of being blessed by his ancestors.

Zhongli deliberately mentioned that he was the god of Teyvat, and that he was summoned by her and Dazai Osamu. He even deliberately said that this was the result of "not being able to control the force well." In other words, if he had not controlled the falling power of the star, the range of damage caused would be greater.

On the surface, he was introducing himself and apologizing for the damage, but in reality, he was secretly supporting her and Dazai Osamu.

Without any prior communication, he keenly noticed the word "brother and sister" in Gojo Satoru's words and provided additional explanation for them.

Zhongli is so good, woooooo——

"As for the purpose of their journey through this world mentioned by these two, I can explain a few things."

Zhongli looked at Li Xiaoqi, a slight smile in his eyes. "Due to some unrest in Teyvat earlier, the Sustainer of Heavenly Justice brought down a disaster. As travelers, Xiaoqi and Azhi actively helped us five gods to resolve the disaster that befell humanity and protect the people of the five nations. To do this, they exhausted all their strength and even lost the power to stay in Teyvat. We can only continue to travel to the next world and recuperate."

"We were worried that Xiaoqi and the others would be in danger in the other world, so we signed a contract that allowed them to summon creatures from the five nations of Teyvat to protect them, and of course, ourselves."

"This contract requires Xiao Qi and the others to do one thing: collect the elemental power scattered across other worlds... This energy belongs to the continent of Teyvat. When the human world is in turmoil due to natural disasters, time and space become unstable and leaks occur, causing Teyvat's elemental power to leak out and scatter to other worlds. Over time, this leakage will gradually increase, and the plants and animals that rely on elemental power for growth will gradually lose their vitality. Eventually, Teyvat will be barren, with very serious consequences."

Zhongli spoke vividly and seriously.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned and almost couldn't help clapping.

Geto Suguru, Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Nozomi were so engrossed in listening that they unknowingly sat on the raised stone slab.

When Zhongli paused, they actually looked at each other eagerly, as if to say, "What else? What's next?"

Zhongli's lips curled slightly, cleared his throat, and continued, "So, as long as Xiaoqi and the others can collect the scattered elemental forces in the other world and transmit them back, we can repair the time-space loophole, and the creatures on the continent of Teyvat will no longer be in danger of destruction."

"They appear here because of the elemental forces that exist here."

Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru suddenly understood and applauded, "Mr. Zhongli, what you said is really brilliant."

Zhongli nodded, "Thank you very much."

Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were amazed and couldn't help but applaud.

As expected, you are the King of Rock who often listens to storytelling.

Ieiri Naoko sighed and looked at Li Xiaoqi with admiration, "So, Miss Nana and Mr. Dazai are actually heroes of Teyvat?"

Zhongli remained calm and said, "Yes."

Li Xiaoqi laughed awkwardly twice and didn't dare to respond.

She couldn't bear the title, but she didn't dare say it.

Dazai Osamu echoed Zhongli's words, as if it had really happened, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes, "Thank you for the compliment. I was imprisoned by heaven for a long time, and it was my sister who searched all over Teyvat and made friends with kind and powerful gods like Mr. Zhongli, so that we could be reunited.

As he spoke, two real tears welled up in his eyes.

Good, good, it really made you cry.

Li Xiaoqi sighed repeatedly in her heart. If she was not also a member of the deception team, she would have believed such a sincere statement without any doubt.

The audience in the live broadcast room also shared the same feeling as her.

Although she appears to be very calm now, she is actually very panicked, but she cannot show any sign of wavering.

If I hadn’t read it from the beginning till now, I would have believed it.

[Brother Li, you are truly worthy of being called the man…god who nearly scared the Demon-Subduing Great Sage out of his wits!]

[Now I declare that Zhongli and Chief Zai have officially formed the King of Tricksters duo, and their mascot is the incredibly frightened Li Xiaoqi!]

Zhongli, go tell a story, seriously.

Xiao Qi: I'm panicking, but I can't let myself get caught.

[Xiao Qi's eyes are determined to join the party hahahaha]

Li Xiaoqi tightened her lips and her eyes were unfocused, but others thought she was lost in her memories.

Xia Yujie looked at Li Xiaoqi with a little more admiration in his eyes.

Gojo Satoru whistled and approached Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu. "I never thought your story was so exciting that it could be turned into a light novel. Seriously."

Li Xiaoqi felt a heavy pat on his shoulder, and he came back to his senses and met Gojo Satoru's very interested eyes.

Should I be happy or sad about this? Gojo Satoru seemed to really believe it.

...Well, after all, the consequences of Zhongli's ultimate move are right in front of them, and it seems they have no choice but to believe it.

She took a step back suddenly. "No, no, it's not that exaggerated."

Ieiri Naoko excitedly took Li Xiaoqi's hand and said, "Ms. Nana, you are really amazing!"

Li Xiaoqi blushed and said shamelessly, "It's so embarrassing to say that."

Xia Yujie chuckled and walked forward, "I'm sorry, I doubted you before."

"Let's get to know each other again, Geto Suguru."

Naive, so naive.

Li Xiaoqi met Xia Youjie's trusting eyes with a sense of guilt and held his hand.

"Please advise me."

Gojo Satoru glanced at Geto Suguru in surprise, curled his lips into a sly smile, and then quickly looked at Ieiri Shoko.

Ieiri Shoko shuddered, and saw something in Gojo Satoru's eyes, and suddenly realized something.

"I can't tell."

"Yeah, I really can't tell."

The two of them were talking in unison, and Li Xiaoqi looked over with confusion.

Dazai Osamu stroked his chin and whispered into Li Xiaoqi's ear.

"It seems my sister is quite charming."

The frivolous tone made Li Xiaoqi blush slightly, and he took a step away uncomfortably.

"What are you talking about?"

Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.

At this time, the barrage of comments began to buy stocks inexplicably.

Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to support his forehead, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

She looked at Zhongli, who was like a father to her, and whispered, "Mr. Zhongli, I'm sorry to trouble you. Thank you so much."

"No problem."

Zhongli raised the corner of his lips slightly, looked at Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu and nodded, "It seems that the time is almost up, let's say goodbye."

He turned around, his clothes fluttered, and a golden light appeared on his body.

Zhongli turned his head, the light blurring his facial features.

"Next time I feel you two calling me, I will put down my teacup and come to help."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the reliable Rock King Emperor disappeared.

"Ah, I'm going back now."

There was some regret in Ieiri Shoko's tone.

Suddenly, she shouted, "Oh no! I forgot to set up the account——"

Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's faces froze. "Oh no, this is really bad."

"What the hell just happened!"

From a distance, the assistant supervisor's words were heard.

Geto Xia Yu frowned slightly, grabbed Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu and ran towards the ruins piled up nearby.

In this way, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu were forced by Geto Suguru to hide behind a pile of stone slabs.

"You guys hide here and come out after we leave. Leave the rest to me and Wu. Got it?"

Geto Summer Oil lowered his voice.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huh? Why are you helping us?"

Geto Xiayou chuckled and patted Li Xiaoqi on the head like Dazai Osamu.

"The world of curses is very complicated. How can we let the heroes of another world be wronged?"

He spoke softly, yet it was surprisingly reassuring.

Li Xiaoqi watched him walk away, and stood side by side with Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko, facing the scolding of the assistant supervisor.

Suddenly, a black air came.

Li Xiaoqi looked to the side and saw Dazai Osamu with his cheeks puffed up, sitting on the ground with his knees hugged and curled up, holding a branch in his hand and drawing some talismans on the ground.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she felt ashamed.

"What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, Dazai Osamu snorted and turned his head away.

"nothing."

Li Xiaoqi was very confused about this.

"ah?"

What puzzled her even more was that the comments about supporting the couple in the live broadcast room became more rampant, and the sending of gifts was like a bombardment.

Li Xiaoqi's eyes widened as he watched the barrage of "Xiaoqixzai" and "Xiaoqixjie" flying by.

[Although, Xiao Qi and Zai are a bit good]

Is Zai jealous? I smell the air of Shura Field.

【Ahhh, hello Jie Qi, younger yyds! 】

[Why do I feel like Zhongli is overly helpful... Is there any plot I missed as a VIP?]

[Zhongli is my biological father! I don't agree to buy shares!]

【Oh oh oh, Zai is being naughty! 】

My friends, what I’m saying is, you can’t just support every couple!

She also didn't know why Dazai Osamu behaved like this——

Don’t forget, this man just acted so hard that he made you cry!

The author has something to say:

----------------------

In Xiaoqi's opinion, since Zhongli appeared in front of him, he must be the ancestor hahahaha
