Genshin Impact: I am an ordinary executive

"Xuanhuang is easy to live in, but the Immortal Lord is kind.

This is where the evil dragon is suppressed. Don't make mistakes if you are idle. "

——Shizhenzi under the Fulong tree.

In the Sleeping Forest, at the foot of Hulao Mountain and in the Nantian Gate, there is a tree bathed in moonlight, called the Fulong Tree.

The roots go deep into the heart of the earth, and the branches are like moonlight flowing through them.

Rumor has it that this is the tail of the evil dragon suppressed here by the emperor.

If so, based on the scale of the outcrop, it’s hard to imagine how terrifying the dragon’s entire body would be.

Everyone admires the power of Emperor Yanwang, but few people explore the twists and turns of the story.

That is a story further away than the mountains...

In Liyue thousands of years ago, this country was far from being formed. Emperor Yanwang was walking in the world and found the Ruotuo Dragon King who was born and raised under a strange place.

Most of the ancient rock elemental creatures living underground in Liyue are blind and have not seen the light of day for thousands of years. The same is true for Ruotuo Dragon King.

The King of Rocks gave him the eyes to see things clearly, and he was brought to the ground as requested by the Dragon King Ruoduo.

The two made a three-part agreement, and Emperor Yanwang promised him to coexist with the people on the earth. After that, Ruotuo followed Emperor Yanwang to conquer all directions, and the two became close friends regardless of each other.

It's a pity that wear and tear... It is a shackles imposed by heaven on the earth, wearing away all creatures on the earth equally.

The unprecedented war of antagonism finally broke out...

Then there is the familiar story, the King of Rocks sealed the evil dragon here. No one knows the process, but this does not prevent future generations from turning it into a beautiful story and passing it on from generation to generation. However, no one anymore remembers the Ruotuo Dragon King who won peace for Liyue...

"Is wear and tear really that terrible?"

As a short-lived species, Zuo Xi could not imagine what this was like. I can't imagine what the sober party's mentality would be like when former close friends had to confront each other with swords. What kind of expression will there be on the face?

Haha, various expressions? You’ll be able to see it for yourself soon…

Thinking that he would soon be able to appreciate the complex expressions that would appear on the face of the thousand-year-old stubborn stone, Zuo Xi's eyes became deeper and deeper, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained from rising.

Zhongli who was watching next to him was speechless. Can't you wait until I'm gone before you laugh? When you smile so wildly in front of me, do you really think I have no temper?

Zhongli initially rejected Zuo Xi's plan to release Ruotuo Dragon King. But the other party's additional conditions made him hesitate for a long time.

If it really works, why not give it a try? The worst case scenario is just to continue the contract in the land of gods.

With Zuo Xi's timely encouragement, persuasion, and repeated assurances, he still nodded.

If the deadlock is to turn around, there must be external interference. The cooperation with the Ice Queen is also based on this principle... Maybe outsiders can really do things that I can't accomplish?

Stones also have feelings. If not, "wear and tear" would no longer be a scary thing.

When Zuo Xi proposed a change of plan, he was secretly disappointed.

Sure enough, it's still too difficult... or not.

Unexpectedly, the other party's changed plan greatly reduced the risk. If done properly, the best result would be to kill three birds with one stone... This made him wonder why the other party didn't come up with this plan in the first place.

The explanation given by Zuo Xi is that the steps required for the latter are more complicated. The more careful the plan, the easier it is to escape control. As a god, you don't want this to happen, right?

This is the truth, but Zhongli knows that this must be just rhetoric... That's all. According to the other party's performance in a free country, although the process may be biased, the results should be expected.

After all, the alcoholic poet never joked about this kind of thing. Since he mentioned it specifically, I think the matter in Mondstadt was handled to his liking.

“Wear and tear…all things are inevitable, and I can’t escape it.

The longer you live, the more terrible you can feel the wear and tear. "

After saying that, he glanced at Zuo Xi with a hint of envy. His meaning was very clear. It's great that you are a short-lived guy. You don't have to think about so many things.

As for whether it was meant to be sarcastic, only he knew.

The look in his eyes made Zuo Xi very speechless. Although his family knew about his family affairs and the wear and tear was not terrible, Zhongli did have a say, but this is not your reason for Versailles and mine, right?

However, thinking of the other person's expression after seeing his old friend again, the depression in his heart suddenly dispersed a lot. I won’t argue with you anymore, I’ll get my capital back with interest later.

Zuo Xi basically made no secret of his thoughts, and Zhongli could certainly see it.

But thousands of years of time have made him look down on these things. If this is the "extra gain" the other party wants, then you can enjoy it.

"Speaking of which, you don't need to go there in person, right? Are you done with the ceremony of sending immortals?"

He just asked Zhongli for some special props for decoration. There was no need for the other party to follow him.

In fact, when the arrangement was made at the first place, Guiliyuan, the other party really had no intention of following.

But when Zuo Xi arrived at Nantianmen, he found that Zhongli had stopped at the foot of Shizhenzi. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"I just want to miss my old friend. There is no rush to send the immortal ceremony. I saw that it was getting late, so I asked her to go back to the North Country Bank to rest."

"I miss my old friend...do you want to prepare yourself mentally?

Whatever you think, I won't bother you.

Come, prepare some tea for Brother Zhongli. Everyone else, drive back to Liyue Port. "

"Brother Zuo is interested, so I won't send you any more. If you need any help, please just ask."

Seeing things and thinking about people, my mind wells up, and I always want to drink tea to reflect on it.

……

Back at Beiguo Bank, Zuo Xi was not in a hurry to return to his workshop, but walked back to Ying's room.

Since the last time, Ying simply has been living in Beiguo Bank. Anyway, with the immortal's instructions, Qixing can't do anything to her.

As for whether Qixing would stop contacting her because of this incident, Zuo Xi didn't think so.

Qixing was able to check Ying's past experience, and Ning Guang also had a recommendation letter written by Qin for Ying.

In addition, Ying not only went to Jueyunjian, but also successfully contacted the immortal and brought back the oral instructions.

At this sensitive moment, Qixing had no choice but to contact Ying, the only middleman.

So since you are willing to live here, let's live here.

"Lord Zuo Xi."

Before he even knocked on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

Not only Ying and Paimon walked out of it, but also Natalia, who woke up at some point.

Several people's expressions were as usual, but Zuo Xi always felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and he couldn't explain the specific problem, so he simply ignored it.

"Nata, welcome back."

"Well, Master Zuo Xi, I'm back."

Nata's face looked normal, but if you look closely, you can see the tears hidden in her eyes.

After the ups and downs, the girl's mind became clear, and nothing was more important than being by his side.

She will spend her whole life following that figure, seeking nothing but to get closer to that light.

She felt like she was reborn, just like before.

If the girl found a treasure, she vowed to protect it with everything she had...
