In Genshin Impact: I accidentally ruined the Seven Gods

Chapter 175 Zhongli: This is not an illusion

"Stop, it's not what you think."

Zhongli waved his hand, signaling Baimu to let him finish speaking first.

After Bai Mu stopped, Zhong Li spoke again:

“I don’t want you to help me get rid of Ruoda’s evil thoughts.”

"If we only address Ruoda's evil thoughts, I can barely manage to do so with my current abilities."

“But evil thoughts are also part of Rota, and once they are eliminated, Rota will be incomplete.”

Zhongli immediately rejected Baimu's suggestion to help him resolve Ruotu Dragon King's evil intentions, and he also stated that this was absolutely impossible.

Shiraki nodded in response, not thinking anything of it.

It was just a chance to test my strength; once it's gone, it's gone.

Compared to the Dragon King Nagata, this opportunity is truly insignificant.

"So what do you want me to do for you?"

"If it's not about resolving evil thoughts, is it about suppressing them?"

Bai Mu thought for a moment, then asked again.

Zhongli has just mentioned Ruo Tuo Long Wang's evil intentions, so Bai Mu can be certain that Zhongli's visit to him is definitely related to Ruo Tuo's evil intentions.

Having already ruled out killing the evil thoughts, the most likely option is to suppress them.

Moreover, suppressing an existence is more difficult than killing one. As Zhongli just said, he can only barely kill the evil thoughts of the Dragon King Ruotu.

However, it would probably be impossible to suppress the evil thoughts of the Dragon King Ruoduo.

That's why Bai Mu asked Zhong Li if he needed help suppressing the evil thoughts of the Dragon King Ruo Tuo.

And the result was exactly as Shiraki had predicted.

Zhongli nodded with a slight surprise, somewhat shocked that Bai Mu could guess this.

Noticing the way Zhongli was looking at him, Bai Mu rolled his eyes at her.

Bai Mu may have slightly lower emotional intelligence, but when it comes to IQ, he believes there are very few people in the world who can out-IQ him.

After all, Bai is a ruthless person who can solve advanced mathematical problems as if they were mental arithmetic problems. In the entire Teyvat continent, his IQ is definitely at the top of the pyramid.

"Ahem, you're right. I do want you to help me suppress Ruoduo's evil thoughts temporarily."

Seemingly realizing that his gaze towards Bai Mu was somewhat impolite, Zhong Li coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

“I haven’t seen Ruoda for a thousand years.”

"Before, due to some things in Liyue Harbor, and my own strength, I was unable to suppress Rota's evil thoughts while also being able to communicate with his good thoughts."

"That's why this matter has been delayed."

“Until recently, the situation in Liyue Harbor has been resolved, and with your presence, that's also a factor.”

"I think it's time for me to see my old comrades."

Zhongli's gaze seemed to penetrate the wall of the private room and see the Fulong Tree rooted at the foot of Mount Hulao.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, as if he were recalling his past with the Dragon King Ruoduo.

In a daze, Zhongli felt as if his gaze could penetrate through many barriers and truly see the Fulong Tree far away in Mount Hulao.

wrong!

Zhong Li's gaze sharpened.

He discovered that this was not an illusion; he could indeed see the Fulong Tree far away in Mount Hulao through the wall of the private room.

After realizing what was happening, Zhongli turned his head and saw Bai Mu leisurely watching him.

Seeing Zhongli looking over, Bai Mu spoke slowly:

"You've built up all the emotions, hurry up and start crying."

Zhongli: ...

When Zhongli saw the Fulong Tree, his heart was indeed stirred.

But after hearing Bai Mu's words, the ripples instantly returned to calm.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding."

"You set a time, and I'll be there whenever you call."

"Okay, then..."

Turning his gaze away, Zhongli was about to say, "Then let's set off tomorrow."

But just as he was about to say those words, he noticed a murderous gaze coming from beside Bai Mu.

Noticing the Great Tree King's gaze, which seemed to want to devour him alive, Zhongli shook his head inwardly.

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Finally, Zhongli sighed helplessly and said:

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."

"You can come find me whenever you have time."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Li could clearly feel that the killing intent that the Great Compassion Tree King had just locked onto him vanished instantly.

What followed was the bright, spring-like smile of the Great Compassion Tree King.

"That's it."

"I'm going to Inazuma's place soon, I'll help you when I get back."

Bai Mu nodded.

Since Zhongli said there was no rush, he decided to go to Inazuma first.

Bai Mu had just thought that this would delay his trip, but now it seems that he was worrying for nothing.

Zhongli has lived for six thousand years, so he understands these basic human relationships.

Bai Mu thought that Zhong Li must have realized he was about to leave, which was why she said there was no rush.

"Shiraki, are you also planning to go to Inazuma?"

Paimon, who was eating nearby, was suddenly triggered by a keyword and stopped what he was doing.

"That's right, I'm going to see some friends and take care of some things."

"Friends? Could you give us a brief introduction later?"

Realizing his words seemed a bit abrupt, Paimon said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Ying and I are going to Inazuma next, but it's too far away. I want to make more friends so that we can look after each other in the future."

After hearing Paimon's explanation, Shiraki smiled and nodded.

"Sure, no problem at all."

"My friend is the best chef in mainland China, even the best chef in the country."

"Once you become friends, you must try her cooking if you have the chance."

The thought of the pot of soup Ying brought over that morning sent a chill down Bai Mu's spine.

But his expression didn't change; he was still smiling at Paimon.

"Great!"

Upon hearing that Bai Mu's friend was a chef, and the best chef in the entire continent, Paimon felt his mouth water.

Beside Paimon, Ying's brows were furrowed.

Based on her understanding of Shiramu, she always felt that this "chef friend" that Shiramu mentioned was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

......

Before we knew it, the dinner party was over.

Actually, after everyone else had finished eating, Shiraki felt he could eat at a few more tables.

Unfortunately, under the table, Daiki kept kicking Shiraki, forcing Shiraki to end the meal prematurely.

Upon arriving at the front desk, before Bai Mu could even say, "Send the bill to Qunyu Pavilion," the receptionist spoke first:

“Mr. Bai, there is a Mr. Datalia from the Fools who has reserved a quota of 500 million Mora for you with us.”

"So you don't need to keep track of your spending. We'll remind you when you've used up your credit limit for the day."
