"See, I've learned it."
Gudu~
Happy Lantern Festival! x3.
"Quick, happy."
Waaaaah, my money!
Zhongli, standing to the side, smiled. This drunkard has finally met his match.
The Lantern Festival has arrived. Before sunrise, Liyue Harbor is bustling with activity as fireworks are set off incessantly.
"Liyue Harbor has enjoyed another peaceful and tranquil year."
"Master, Master, look at that!" Yao Yao, who was leaning on the railing of Yujingtai, pointed excitedly at the fireworks blooming in the sky.
"Hehehe, Yaoyao has grown another year older." Grandma Ping took out a red envelope. "Yaoyao, Happy Lantern Festival."
"Wow!"
After visiting various immortals in the heavens to celebrate the Lunar New Year, Zhong Gui finally returned to Liyue Harbor.
As the first rays of light appeared in the east, the atmosphere in Liyue Harbor grew even more vibrant. Hardworking people had already begun their various tasks, and merchants had set up their stalls.
The giant screen in the sky lit up again, playing various cheerful music, interspersed with introductions to Liyue's various traditional customs.
Among them is a new rule established by Zhong Gui, the "Rock King Emperor"—New Year's money.
This money doesn't need to be much; it's just for good luck. The screen gave a grand and detailed introduction to it.
Because it was played in rotation, many people saw it and were quite interested, and it was quickly accepted by everyone.
May the Lantern Festival bring you great fortune and prosperity!
As the year begins anew, everyone hopes for an even better year to come. They would not refuse such a hopeful approach, especially since it was devised by "Lord Yan".
As everyone knows, "Lord Rock" is also the God of Contracts, so if he says so, then it's an agreement.
This covenant is hereby made, that in the new year children may be free from evil spirits, and that all people of Liyue may enjoy good health and prosperity.
Zhong Gui: "Hey, hey, hey, the second rule doesn't apply to New Year's money, right?"
Shen He: "Can the first rule be controlled?"
Shen He was a little worried. Would it really be like this?
Before coming to Liyue Harbor, she trained by eliminating demons and saw many possessed children. Children, the elderly, the sick, and the ignorant were the hardest hit.
"Don't worry, I said I could suppress it, and I can suppress it."
In the world of gods, language is sometimes a form of power, especially for a special being like Zhong Gui.
"The demons of Liyue are almost completely asleep now, and there are fewer and fewer large demons. As for the smaller ones, I found a cleaner who works 24/7, all year round, and he can handle them."
Xiao gradually retired, and a certain filial son of the ninja world started to work.
From the moment he accepted the contract, he received the Eye of the Wind God, a symbol of this lack of freedom.
Those who obtain the Wind-type Eye of God will always be hindered by various reasons and will not be able to achieve true freedom.
Moreover, the implicit condition—Uchiha Shisui had already paid the price for him.
The green Xiao is gone, and Liyue now has a new black whirlwind slaying demons everywhere. Even though the people who came to help Liyue today are out shopping in Liyue Harbor, he is still wandering in the deep mountains and forests.
Shen He: "Wouldn't this be a bit inappropriate? The work of Yasha..."
"Some people see hardship as a test, and even find joy in it. Besides, they should thank us."
"How could I possibly say thank you (to someone who's rich)? I'm already exhausted from working at the Rebirth Hall, how could an ordinary person handle the work of the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons?"
"Ninjas, well, they just have to endure it."
Let Xiao continue? I can't bear to.
Should we have someone else do it? I'm sorry.
As Zhong Gui said, Itachi Uchiha was indeed thanking the Zhong Gui Group.
For the first time, he felt that what he was doing was not meaningless, and for the first time, he felt that he had truly done his duty to protect.
He protected peace in village after village, and saw the smiles on people's faces, people who were different from those in the ninja world.
People in the ninja world fear the power of ninjas, but those rescued here do not; they might even shout that a sage has arrived.
Hearing this, Itachi Uchiha felt ashamed and increasingly felt that there was something wrong with the ninja world.
P.S.: Human nature can breed evil. Even if the protagonist is omniscient and omnipotent, he cannot solve certain problems unless he erases certain aspects of humanity. But if he goes to that extent, will he still be human? Someone has to do the work of the demon, and this kind of work shouldn't harm good people.
Chapter 157 The Young Master Who Came to Liyue, "Brother, are you an immortal?"
"Hey bro, is Liyue Harbor just ahead?"
While Itachi Uchiha was exorcising demons, he heard a familiar voice.
A handsome young man was watching him from a short distance away.
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
This guy is a master!
Even before he received the enhancement, he was already a strong person, though not particularly powerful. Yet this person appeared silently not far from him.
I've become even stronger now, and I'm even being subjected to such tight-fitting treatment.
The current Itachi Uchiha is looking more and more like Xiao, at least in appearance.
His Susanoo was once orange-red, and his weapons were the Yata Mirror in his left hand and the Totsuka Sword in his right, making him good at both offense and defense.
Now that he has arrived in Teyvat, something has happened that has changed his color to green. He is holding a spiral sword, which, when stretched, becomes a spiral spear.
Susanoo draped itself over him like armor, and another green-clad, gun-wielding warrior appeared.
Having watched the complete version of "Naruto," Itachi Uchiha knew that this was Shisui's power, so he did not reject this power; on the contrary, he cherished it.
He saw this as proof of their comradeship, and his own power was instead buried deep within his body. (Refer to the woman's two forms.)
This is the power of Teyvat; certain inner forces will be activated, and the Eye of God will help the master use this power.
In particular, Itachi Uchiha also possessed a medium—Shisui's single eye.
With the help of a certain unnamed individual, he became what he is today.
(Zhong·Damaima·Gui: Xiao·Gai.)
Itachi Uchiha didn't care that it had developed to this extent in just one day; ninjas had to obey orders, and he was quite satisfied with this power.
Putting all that aside, he recognized the uninvited guest before him.
The diplomatic envoy of the Winter Queen of the Winter Kingdom in Teyvat, the last of the eleven executive officers of the Winter Kingdom's diplomatic mission, codenamed "Prince", also known as Tartaglia, was in charge of diplomacy with Liyue in the original timeline.
He is a passionate fighter, a follower of his own body, whose achievements are renowned far and wide.
However, based on Itachi's observation, he shouldn't have the ability to appear silently nearby.
"My friend, are you a celestial being from Liyue?" the young master asked with a smile.
He sensed the battle from a great distance, so he abandoned the Fatui party that had come with him to Liyue and rushed over alone.
As he predicted, it turned out to be a spectacular battle.
According to his intelligence, Liyue is green, has the Eye of the Wind God, uses a gun, has a cold expression, is busy with the Lantern Festival... Liyue's Great Sage of Exorcism!
"Friend, are you the guardian Yaksha of Liyue?" The young master's words already carried a hint of fighting spirit; he wanted to test the results of his training.
A hint to time travelers: The young master you are facing is stronger than in the original story.
As for why...
You'd have to ask Zhong Gui, who passed through Zhidong Kingdom a few years ago.
After a great battle, the Winter Queen did not appear in public for a whole year.
That great battle also brought shame to the Fools' Executors.
Then their overall strength improved significantly.
Especially the captain and the young master, they were practically obsessed with cultivation, and were covered in wounds all day long.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhidong Technology is still capable, they would have suffered hidden injuries sooner or later.
At this point, according to the game's terms, their strength was such that they had gained an extra constellation and their level had increased significantly.
During his years of cultivation, the young master has ventured into the most dangerous areas more than once.
People can't fight all the time; they need to rest. In order to rest in dangerous areas, the young master has developed excellent stealth skills, with "infiltration A+" ingrained in his bones.
For various reasons, Itachi Uchiha failed to discover the young master.
To be honest, the young master didn't really want to come to Liyue.
He had seen Zhong Gui before; he liked fighting but disliked being beaten without any suspense.
In his eyes, coming to Liyue was pointless, and he couldn't take back the Heart of God anyway.
But the Queen sent him, and as a member of the Fools and a citizen of the Winter Kingdom, I dared not disobey the Queen's command.
Moreover, even after the Queen was beaten like that, they still dared to let him come to Liyue to get the Heart of God. I seriously suspect that there is something fishy going on here.
