Hearing Guizhong's message, Makoto raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
Could this be the so-called wisdom Guizhong left for Morax?
Hearing Guizhong's message, Azhdaha's mouth twitched involuntarily.
To dare call Morax a blockhead, no one in all of Liyue had such courage.
It was indeed that girl's personality.
Morax, on the other hand, stood silently, unmoving.
He looked so calm and at peace,
but the serene golden eyes rippled slightly after hearing Guizhong's voice.
A girl wearing wide sleeves, with waist-length hair and crescent eyes when she smiled, subconsciously appeared in Morax's mind.
The girl's voice was sweet and melodious, the kind that remained pleasant no matter how many times one heard it.
Morax looked at the dustlock in his hand, then softly said, "Guizhong..."
"It has been a long time since I heard that girl's voice. Hearing it again now brings a different feeling."
The dustlock in Morax's hand continued to play the message.
Guizhong's chiding voice came from the lock: "Morax, you can clearly unlock the secret of this lock, but why do you not understand some of my words?"
"I don't know if you're pretending to be foolish or truly foolish. I've already made it so obvious, yet you have no reaction."
"Do I have to personally spell out the true meaning of those words for you to understand? But as a girl, how can I possibly..."
"Morax, you idiotic blockhead, you're truly making this girl furious!"
"I really don't know why I fell for a wooden head like you, constantly bringing myself grief every day."
Guizhong's huffy voice came from within the dustlock.
Just by listening to this voice,
it wasn't hard to imagine a cute girl pouting in anger.
Guizhong was a God, and moreover, a mischievous young girl in personality.
Azhdaha was a little awkward, a bit torn.
Was this something he could listen to for free?
Morax remained silent, his attention focused on the dustlock.
Guizhong's recording slowly played.
"Morax, you big bully, you only know how to pick on me. You'd best stick to your attitude and never be with me in this life."
"Otherwise, I'll definitely have ten or eight children for you, and then with so many babies for you to raise, you won't even have time to cry."
"Hmph, no, just thinking about you pretending to be clueless when you clearly understand already makes me so angry!"
"I will ignore you for a lifetime, hmm... five hundred years, never mind, never mind, I will ignore you for an entire day."
"Hmm! I'll ignore you for an entire day! Do you understand the seriousness of the problem??"
"Unless, unless you come quickly to find me after hearing this message."
"Otherwise, I won't talk to you, this time it's for real!"
Listening to Guizhong's message, a piece of Morax's long-erode memory seemed to become bright and clear.
He remembered that when Guizhong gave him this dustlock, she indeed seemed unhappy.
Her small mouth was pouting, and she looked sullen.
At the time, Morax didn't understand what was happening, didn't know why Guizhong was sulking at him.
Now he understood.
It turned out that Guizhong at that time had hoped he would go find her.
That clever and shy girl named Guizhong,
left the words she wanted to say but was too embarrassed to utter within the lock.
Morax felt that,
if he had known about the recording inside the dustlock earlier,
perhaps he would have gone to find Guizhong.
It was just a pity,
many things have no "if only."
Guizhong's message paused.
When she spoke again, her tone was no longer as lively and playful as before,
replaced by a longing and Feelings for the future.
That mischievous God rarely showed such a serious demeanor.
"I wonder what Liyue will become in the future, but the Archon War must have ended by then, right?"
"Morax, will I be by your side at that time? I will be by your side, right? Definitely!"
"I haven't been with you yet, I haven't had your children yet, I don't want to leave you."
"I don't care if you like me or not, as long as I like you, that's enough."
"I also want to plant my favorite glaze lily all over the mountains and fields!"
"It will surely be beautiful when the flowers bloom, won't it?"
"Hmm, I've decided, when the glaze lily blooms all over the mountains and fields, this Lord Guizhong will express her feelings to you."
"You'd best not refuse me then, or I'll cry for you to see!"
Guizhong's voice in the dustlock grew softer and softer, accompanied by some static.
Thousands of years of erode had also prevented this lock from preserving all of Guizhong's messages.
However, Morax still heard the last sentence,
which Guizhong said to him,
"Morax, don't always have such a stern face, like an old fossil. Smile more."
"Although I know we can't be together,"
"but in my heart, I've actually married you once already."
"I am already content, seeking nothing else."
