After stepping into Liyue Harbor, the group split up.
Levi went to find the adepti, while Kiana followed the original plan and went to find Cod Duck.
As for Lumine, she had nothing to do and wandered around Liyue Harbor.
"Ah, I jumped in again, and I jumped back out again... Catch me, you idiots."
Seeing the Millelith at the entrance of Liyue Harbor, and noticing that they didn't come forward to arrest her after seeing her, she immediately understood that her wanted order had indeed been canceled.
So she boldly started causing trouble in front of the harbor.
Clang!
A Millelith slammed the spear in his hand onto the ground with a loud sound. Seeing the Millelith surrounding her, Lumine frowned. "What are you trying to do? I'm a law-abiding citizen now."
"Disturbing the peace in Liyue Harbor. Take her away and lock her up!"
"Let go of me, let go of me! I'm innocent, I'm innocent!"
Oh no, she'd gotten too carried away.
"Next."
Looking at the small white creature in front of him, the Millelith questioned her according to procedure. "Name."
"Paimon."
"Any luggage?"
"No."
"Okay, go in."
"Wait!" Another Millelith suddenly stopped Paimon and asked, "What's your relationship with the person who just disturbed the peace?"
Paimon turned her head and said seriously, "I don't know her."
"..."
Levi arrived at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. The area in front of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was deserted. Apart from the staff cleaning, there was no one else.
Seeing Levi arrive, the staff member politely nodded at him.
His gaze turned toward the open doors of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. In the center was a stone table, with the human-shaped Cloud Retainer, Mountain Shaper, and Moon Carver, along with Hu Tao, sitting around it.
"I didn't expect that fellow to actually be the 'Little Lord'!"
Hu Tao gulped down a large mouthful of tea and spoke in surprise. "Could the adepti have made a mistake?"
Cloud Retainer and the others didn't answer immediately, but instead exchanged glances.
Apart from Levi, no one dared to say for certain that Zhongli was the Lord of Geo's incarnation in the mortal world.
'What kind of person is the Lord of Geo?'
'How could his incarnation possibly be seen through by little immortals like us?'
At most, they could only make a judgment based on his aura.
But judging that the other party was the Lord of Geo's incarnation in the mortal world based solely on his aura, wasn't that a little too much of a game?
"A game? What kind of person is the Lord of Geo? How could his aura possibly appear on a mortal?"
Levi walked in from outside, his expression solemn. "Fellow comrades, please hurry and hold the enthronement ceremony."
Mountain Shaper spoke. "The enthronement ceremony is currently being prepared by the Qixing. There's no need for us to worry."
"Hmph!" Moon Carver looked at Levi, who had come before them, and snorted. "If our judgment is wrong, wouldn't that mean handing all of Liyue over to a mortal?"
If that mortal had an evil heart, what kind of tragedy would it cause?
And in these thousand years, had they really seen so few mortals with evil hearts?
"Aren't the so-called Seven Nations precisely the nations of mortals?" Levi answered indifferently. "When have you ever seen a nation whose people were all gods?"
"Besides, Zhongli has upright character. Even if we have judged wrongly, having him lead Liyue would still be a good thing."
"Don't you agree, Hu Tao?"
"Huh?" Hu Tao hadn't expected Levi to suddenly ask her. She froze for a moment, then hurriedly nodded.
"Consultant Zhongli is really amazing."
He knew everything, as if there were nothing in this world that he didn't know.
"Besides." The corners of Levi's mouth lifted slightly. "I already said before, if I judged wrongly, I'll hang myself at Jueyun Karst."
All the immortals said together, "What bad luck!"
Levi ignored them.
"As a normal person, how could I joke about my own life?"
"Then the Lord of Geo... I mean, what about the Little Lord?"
"If the Little Lord is dissatisfied with what we're doing, he will naturally appear and stop us. Why do you need to worry about it?"
"That makes sense."
Cloud Retainer nodded and put down the teacup in her hand. "It's about time."
The immortals exchanged glances, then all revealed their beast forms and flew through the air toward the Jade Chamber.
Seeing this, Levi casually took a long sword from the weapon rack in the courtyard, stepped onto it, and chased after them.
Watching them leave, Hu Tao opened her mouth wide. "So, so amazing!"
What could be more amazing than a sword hilt spitting fire and carrying someone through the air?
Hu Tao looked at a long spear beside her, then at the Pyro Vision at her waist that flickered on and off.
She grabbed the long spear and started swinging it around in the courtyard.
Rumble!
Flames gushed from the back of the long sword, propelling it through the air.
Levi stood on the sword with both feet, one in front and one behind, his hands behind his back and his expression calm.
His robes fluttered loudly in the air.
From a distance, he looked like a true immortal descending into the mortal world.
And the three flying beside him looked just like his spirit pets.
Cloud Retainer & Moon Carver & Mountain Shaper: "..."
As if sensing this malicious intent, the three immortals all moved farther away from Levi.
Looking at the flying sword beneath his feet, their eyes were filled with strange expressions.
In all these thousands of years, they had never seen anyone fly through the sky like this.
BOOM!
"Ah!!!"
An explosion occurred at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor behind them. Hu Tao, clutching the long spear, shot straight into the sky, tears and snot streaming everywhere.
"I haven't even used my Vision yet!!!"
Levi stared straight ahead, showing no intention of turning around.
Cloud Retainer and the others turned back to look at Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, who was shooting straight into the sky.
They hadn't seen a single person like this in a thousand years.
Today, they got to see two at once.
At the same time, Kiana had also made some progress in her search for Cod Duck.
"You said you saw him around the shore? Okay, thank you!"
After getting the information from a passerby, Kiana put away the portrait of Cod Duck and charged straight toward the direction the passerby had pointed.
———
[On The Beach]
The Cod Duck Levi had mentioned was squatting on the ground picking up seashells. "Pretty nice-looking. I'll take them back as gifts for my younger brothers and sisters."
He held a seashell up toward the distant sun, and beautiful colors appeared across its surface.
Just as he was about to put it away, a somewhat familiar voice came from not far away.
It sounded a lot like... the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"Are you Cod Duck?"
He turned his head to look. It wasn't the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, but the mysterious person who had appeared above Liyue Harbor with Lumine back then.
"Cod Duck?" Hearing this name, Tartaglia laughed out loud. "Miss, you must have mistaken me for someone else. My name isn't Cod Duck."
'Cod Duck? There was actually someone in the world with a name like that?'
He'd learned something new.
"You're not mistaken."
Kiana put away the portrait and spread the five fingers of her hand toward Tartaglia in front of her.
Seeing her movement, Tartaglia's heart suddenly tightened.
The space around them rippled like the surface of water.
Lances of the Void appeared from within it, five in total, no more and no less.
"...Friend, I don't think I've offended you, have I?"
Tartaglia slowly raised both hands, indicating that he posed no danger, trying to use this method to make her give up on attacking.
He had thought she would tell him how exactly he had offended her, but in the end, she simply gave him two ordinary words.
"No."
"..."
'If not, then why did you come looking for trouble with me!'
———
[In The Chat Group]
[Kiana: Found Cod Duck. Should I fight him now or wait until later?]
[Levi: Hmm...]
[Levi glanced at the formation before him, which was more or less ready.]
[Levi: Fight!]
Whoosh!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
"..."
