the next day……
"Jiang Mu, you lazybones, the sun's already high in the sky!" Hu Tao stood next to Jiang Mu, hands on her hips, and said imperiously.
"Get up! Come with me to sell coffins!"
"Hmm—"
After so many busy days, Jiang Mu was already exhausted. He had been bothered by Hu Tao all night, and now, to be woken up like this so early in the morning, Jiang Mu felt that his anger was about to explode...
"No way!" Jiang Mu rolled over, mumbling sleepily, "No normal person would accept a coffin-selling service. You should just stay in the funeral parlor and wait for business to come to you..."
"No way!" Seeing Jiang Mu refuse, Hu Tao immediately reached out and yanked off Jiang Mu's blanket...
Abruptly awakened from his sweet dream, Jiang Mu frowned and was about to reach out when Hu Tao gave him a "smack" bite.
"Hehe, I'm waiting for you outside, hurry up and come!"
“…” Covering half of his face, Jiang Mu was both annoyed and amused.
“……￥\\u0026%……*\\u0026（*\\u0026%……%￥”
Suddenly, Gou Dan, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, flew out and started gesturing at Jiang Mu again.
"..."
Jiang Mu was taken aback, but then his playful side was aroused.
"Smack!"
Jiang Mu grabbed Gou Dan and then gently kissed his smooth, moist face...
"So, are you satisfied this time...?"
Jiang Mu said with a smile.
Dog Egg: (((φ(◎ロ◎;)φ)))
A blush instantly spread across her once fair face, and steam began to rise from her head...
"%￥#￥%……\\u0026%*\\u0026"
After chattering away for a while longer, Gou Dan vanished with a "whoosh"...
Jiang Mu smiled, got up, washed up, and went to the main hall, where he saw Hu Tao standing in the center of the hall, bowing to the tall incense sticks that were rising with blue smoke...
After the ceremony, Hu Tao beamed with joy upon seeing Jiang Mu arrive.
Let's go!
"Leave?" Jiang Mu asked, puzzled. "Where to?"
"Let's go find business!"
Before Jiang Mu could react, Hu Tao grabbed him and ran into the street...
Not far away, Zhongli sat at the stone table, put down his teacup, looked at the two figures from behind, and smiled gently.
"Young people are so energetic..."
………………
And so, Hu Tao dragged Jiang Mu around Liyue Harbor selling coffins for over a month, eventually attracting Ningguang's attention. After learning the reason behind it, the Heavenly Authority lady took matters into her own hands and ordered a set for every Thousand Rock soldier, which made Hu Tao very happy...
However, this happy time for Walnut always had to pass, until...
"Jiang Mu, are you really leaving...?"
Hu Tao looked at Jiang Mu with great reluctance.
"Hehe..." Jiang Mu chuckled.
"As you know, I am a visitor from another world."
"Although it's nice to quietly farm in Liyue, I still want to see the outside world."
Before Hu Tao could finish her sentence, Jiang Mu cut her off.
"Don't you dare say you want to come with me or anything like that. The entire fortune of the Hall of Rebirth is in your hands; you can't let it go to waste..."
“But…” Hu Tao looked up and said, “I have the Eye of God, I can help you. It’s too dangerous for you to be all alone.”
"You're not quite proficient at using the Eye of God yet," Jiang Mu said with a wry smile. "With your ability to inflict a thousand damage on the enemy while harming eight hundred of your own, how could I possibly let you use it more? You should stick to learning how to use the Eye of God from Mr. Zhongli..."
"..." Hu Tao's face fell, but she also knew that Jiang Mu was right...
“Ahem… Master Hu Tao.” At this moment, Zhong Li spoke up, “If you’re really worried, I can give young friend Jiang Mu some things for self-defense. That should put your mind at ease…”
"Really?" Hu Tao looked at Zhong Li. Although she didn't know what Zhong Li had that could be used for self-defense, she had a feeling that as long as Zhong Li made a move, nothing in Teyvat could hurt Jiang Mu...
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Zhongli!" Hu Tao said.
"Then come with me." Zhong Li glanced at Jiang Mu, then walked to the side...
………………
“I remember… you have an Eye of God, right…”
After sending Hu Tao away, Zhong Li looked at Jiang Mu and said calmly.
“Uh…” Jiang Mu took out the Eye of God, pseudo-God, that the system had given him.
"Hmm..." Zhongli took it, examined it carefully for a while, and then said, "Although it's somewhat mysterious, it's obviously not real..."
"So, you're going to give me the Eye of God?" Jiang Mu asked, somewhat agitated.
“Hehe…” Zhongli chuckled, “Yes, or you could say no.”
"?" Zhongli's words left Jiang Mu completely bewildered...
"I believe that even without the Eye of God, you are capable enough to protect yourself," Zhongli said calmly. "In that case, I shouldn't offer you any help..."
Jiang Mu:!
"But since we've met, we should leave you with something to remember us by..."
As Zhongli spoke, a golden light flashed in his hand, and a strangely shaped "Eye of God" appeared in his palm...
“This is…” Jiang Mu frowned…
It's called the Eye of God because its shape is exactly the same as the Eye of God of Gan Yu, Hu Tao, and others. But what's strange about it is that its main body is a hollow white, without any trace of elemental power...
"Don't rush..."
Zhongli comforted her, then his eyes suddenly sharpened!
In an instant, Jiang Mu sensed that the "person" in front of him suddenly became violent and murderous...
As if confirming Jiang Mu's idea, Zhong Li's hand holding the "Eye of God" suddenly turned into a dragon claw.
Yes, that's right, it's those dragon claws covered in scales...
At the same time, Zhongli's eyes turned into vertical pupils and emitted a faint killing intent...
Suddenly, a chess piece-shaped object appeared above the "Eye of God." The chess piece suddenly emitted a strong amount of rock elemental energy, which gradually flowed into the "Eye of God"...
"!" Jiang Mu was startled when he saw the "chess piece".
"The Heart of God!?"
"You actually know about the Heart of God?" Zhongli narrowed his eyes, but quickly understood. "That makes sense. As a friend from another world, it's reasonable for him to have some special qualities..."
Jiang Mu keenly noticed that Zhong Li's voice sounded weak. It seemed that stripping the rock elemental power from the Heart of God had taken a heavy toll on him...
Finally, with the continuous infusion of Geo elemental power, about one-seventh of the "Eye of God" turned into gold, representing Geo elemental power...
"This is my parting gift to you." After retrieving the Heart of God, Zhongli looked at Jiang Mu and introduced it.
"This... isn't an ordinary Eye of God, is it..." Jiang Mu said hesitantly.
"You have a good eye..." Zhongli praised, then slowly began to explain the profound mystery of the "Eye of God" to Jiang Mu...
