Paimon and Ying's eyes widened when they saw that Tartaglia was defeated by Alicia with a single blow.

As for Tartaglia's strength, Ying, who had fought with him before, naturally knew it very well. He tried his best in the battle with him but failed to do anything to him. Instead, he used a trick to get close to the Sage Transformation.

Therefore, he was naturally shocked to see him being easily defeated by Alicia. Although it was because Tartaglia was not in his prime, Alicia had also fought with the Whirlpool Demon Osel for a long time.

In Ying's opinion, if Alicia had a head-on collision with a demon like Osel, she would not be injured, but she would not feel relaxed either. But now it seems that is not the case at all.

"This... How is this possible?" Paimon opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "This woman is so powerful!"

"I didn't expect her to be so powerful." Ying frowned and thought secretly in her heart.

She originally thought that Alicia was just an ordinary girl, but she didn't expect that reality would gradually refresh her perception of her.

"Could it be that Alicia is also a god?"

Ying thought to herself that Alicia's strength and her familiarity with Zhongli were too doubtful.

Alicia looked at Tartaglia falling down, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a speechless expression. Why show off if you don't have the strength?

Then he clapped his hands and turned to face Ying and Paimon.

"How about it? Are you two little ones surprised?" Alicia asked with a smile.

Of course, Alicia also heard the voices of Paimon and Ying.

"Hmph, why didn't you tell me in advance that you have such strength?" Paimon said dissatisfiedly.

Alicia shrugged and said, "If I tell you in advance, what's the fun? Beautiful girls naturally need to remain mysterious, so that they can attract people."

After that, he turned his gaze to "Madam" Rosalin again, and then said kindly: "Now that the person who hindered our cordial communication has left, it's our turn now."

Rosalin looked at the fainted Tartaglia and angrily cursed, "Waste!"

Faced with the pressing Alicia, Rosalind tried every possible means and frantically turned her head to find a way to escape.

With her current strength, she definitely can't do it on her own. She might not even be able to defeat some Fatui soldiers now.

Alicia slowly approached Rosalin with a faint smile on her face. Rosalin kept backing away, her eyes full of fear.

"Don't come over here! What do you want to do?" Rosalyn shouted.

"I just want to chat with you, there's no need to be so scared," Alicia said, extending her hand.

At this moment, Rosaline looked at Zhongli beside her, and immediately felt as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Emperor Yan Wang, are you just going to watch like this?"

Zhongli frowned upon hearing this and said calmly, "This is a feud between you and Miss Alicia. You are not a citizen of Liyue. Your affairs have nothing to do with me."

After Rosaline heard this, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, and her beautiful face under the mask instantly became distorted by anger.

Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes were wide open, and she refuted without hesitation: "Since you have signed a contract with us, Zhidong, then before I successfully bring the Heart of God back to Zhidong, you have the responsibility and obligation to ensure that this contract can be carried out smoothly and without any obstacles!"

Rosalin's words were firm and left no room for negotiation. She knew very well that this was her last chance to save her life.

After hearing Rosaline's strong words, Zhongli did not respond immediately, but fell into a brief silence.

At this moment, Zhongli's face was as calm as water, and his deep eyes seemed to contain endless wisdom and thoughts.

He naturally understood what Rosaline meant. The contract signed between him and the Queen of Winter was, to some extent, like a business transaction between two countries.

Although it seems that both parties have completed the "money and goods" transaction, as long as the Winter Solstice delegation is still in Liyue, he, as the lord of Liyue, still needs to ensure the personal safety of these foreign envoys.

Having said that, Zhongli naturally did not want to be at odds with Alicia, so he was naturally caught in a dilemma.

Zhongli looked at Alysia calmly and said slowly, "Miss Alysia, can you please put aside your hostility towards Ms. Rosalin for the time being for my sake?"

Hearing Zhongli's words, Rosaline, who had been tense all the time, finally relaxed a little and let out a long breath. However, Alysia frowned slightly, showing a little dissatisfaction.

In fact, she didn't want to have a conflict with Zhongli, after all, she hoped to have more business dealings with Liyue in the future. Moreover, she had a good impression of Zhongli himself and the entire Liyue Kingdom - after all, it was a place modeled after her homeland in her previous life!

However, all these considerations seem insignificant when compared to Furninna's safety.

If we easily forgive Rosaline for daring to attack Fernina this time, who can guarantee that these Fatui will not become even more outrageous and do more outrageous things in the future?

Therefore, we must take strong measures to fight back and teach them a heavy and profound lesson so that they dare not make any rash moves again.

So, Alicia looked straight at Zhongli without flinching, and said with her red lips: "Zhongli, even if it was you standing here today, you can't stop me!" As she finished speaking, the already solemn atmosphere at the scene instantly became like a taut bowstring, ready to explode, filled with suffocating tension.

Rosaline's face had turned livid, and she secretly complained in her heart. She had never expected that Alicia would be so determined that she would not let her go even at the risk of a head-on confrontation with the powerful Rock King, Morax.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a little worried about whether Zhongli was really capable of saving her life.

Zhongli was not angry after hearing what Alicia said, but slowly said: "I naturally know that Miss Alicia has this ability, but I am also the God of Contract. I must maintain the validity of the contract and must ensure her safety in Liyue."

Zhongli winked quietly at Alicia when he said this, which made Alicia stunned. Seeing this playful scene from Zhongli's serious face, it felt... very strange.

But Alicia was not stupid, and she immediately thought carefully about Zhongli's words.

Zhongli's words continued.

"I know about the feud between Miss Alicia and Rosalin. I will compensate you and Fontaine afterwards."

Alicia did not respond immediately. She already understood what Zhongli meant, but did not agree immediately. Instead, she turned to Ying and asked.

"Ying, what do you think?"
