Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

Chapter 31: Crime: Assassination of the Emperor?

A golden light was released from Ningguang's hand and flew into the sky. As the golden light soared into the sky, a dark cloud suddenly condensed in the sky, and the dark cloud quickly formed a vortex, and a half-unicorn, half-dragon creature was flying in it.

Luo Chaya raised her head and watched the scene. Her eyes could penetrate the mist that Zhongli had deliberately created and see everything that was happening in the sky. She saw Zhongli controlling the dragon body to roll in the mist, then glanced down, and when he felt that the time was about right, he threw the dragon body down with a flick of his hand, then turned and left.

Luo Chaya: “…”

So casual?

Zhongli threw it casually, causing the people below to be shocked! Ningguang shouted "The emperor has been assassinated, seal off the whole place!" and ordered the Qianyan Army to quickly take control of the scene, surround everyone, and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Ningguang also ordered the Qianyan Army to strictly guard the "Immortal Ancestor's Metamorphosis" left by Zhongli, and no one was allowed to approach it.

The Qianyan Army acted quickly and began to check for suspicious persons.

Ningguang glanced and saw Luo Chaya standing on the side of the mountain, half of her body hidden in the bushes. At this moment, Luo Chaya was still thinking about Zhongli's nonchalant attitude and casual behavior when he cast the "Immortal Ancestor Transmutation" just now.

It was as if what was thrown away was not the "Immortal Ancestor's Transformation" but some garbage.

"Who's there? Stop!" After seeing Luo Chaya's figure, Ningguang shouted coldly and rushed over personally, trying to catch Luo Chaya.

Luo Chaya came back to her senses and thought to herself that it was not good. She was so busy watching the show that she got herself into trouble! When she saw Ningguang running towards her, she immediately turned around and jumped down the hill, running towards the wall on the side. But now it was different from the past. The wall was also full of Qianyan Army members. If she wanted to get out, she would have to reveal some strength.

Just as Luo Chaya was thinking about whether she should expose her power in order to escape, Ningguang was approaching her quickly.

Ningguang was approaching quickly. Luo Chaya changed her mind and decided that she didn't want to wander around Liyue as a wanted criminal. It would be too inconvenient to move around like that. So she stopped after running a few steps, braked, and stood there waiting for Ningguang to come over.

After Ningguang led the Qianyan Army to surround Luo Chaya, she frowned and looked at her, "Why did you stop suddenly? Don't you want to run anymore?"

"I've figured it out. Why should I run away?" Luo Chaya looked at Ningguang and said to her with a very serious expression, "After all, this matter has nothing to do with me. It would be abnormal for me to run away. I believe that Lord Tianquan Ningguang, as the head of the Seven Stars, will definitely give me justice! The sun and the moon are clear, I am wronged!"

Ningguang looked at Luo Chaya. She noticed the Eye of God on her waist. After hearing what she said, she said in a deep voice, "Whether it is related to you or not, your words do not count. The emperor was assassinated, and all suspicious persons need to be investigated! Before the matter is investigated, please come with us first! For safety reasons, as for your Eye of God, leave it with me for the time being."

After Ningguang finished speaking, before she could ask the Qianyan Army to come up, Luo Chaya took off the Eye of God from her waist and threw it towards her, "Take it."

Ningguang was surprised when she took the Eye of God that Luo Chaya threw to her. She looked at Luo Chaya and said, "This is the Eye of God. How could you throw it away so casually?"

"To make you trust me! Am I going to refuse to give it to you?" Luo Chaya looked at Ningguang and said with a smile, "I believe that Lord Ningguang will enforce the law impartially and investigate thoroughly. Then my Eye of God will not be in any danger. It is a good thing to keep it with Lord Ningguang."

"I will keep it well for you. Please follow the Thousand Rocks Army and leave first." Ningguang put away Luo Chaya's Divine Eye, then glanced left and right, asking the Thousand Rocks Army on both sides to come up and escort Luo Chaya to the prison.

At this moment, there was a bigger commotion on the other side, which attracted the attention of many Qianyan soldiers. Luo Chaya tiptoed to look over there and saw a golden-haired head quickly rushing out, and there seemed to be some mysterious emergency food following it.

It’s Ying and Paimon!

"Take her away first, and the rest of you follow me!" Ningguang glanced at Luo Chaya, made arrangements immediately, and ran out with the remaining Qianyan Army.

Luo Chaya followed the Qianyan Army to the prison. Liyue's prison was just an ordinary underground cell without much sunlight. The people guarding the prison were all Qianyan Army. Everyone had a very serious expression, especially when they heard that Luo Chaya might be related to the assassination of the emperor, their eyes looked at Luo Chaya even more sharply.

Luo Chaya was speechless. She didn't do anything. It was Zhongli who lost his skin. She testified that he was very happy when he lost it. He even laughed!

Although the Qianyan Army here regarded Luo Chaya as a heinous person who dared to assassinate the Emperor of Rock King, they were still responsible for her three meals a day and did not let her go hungry.

As the sun set in the west, Luo Chaya leaned against the wall. She looked outside and confirmed that no one would come to this place for a while, then she stood up and stretched. Because the crime of "daring to assassinate the Rock King" was too serious for Liyue, Luo Chaya was imprisoned in solitary confinement, without even a cellmate around her.

She couldn't even chat with anyone.

For example, if you ask a question like, how did you get in? One said I stole something, the other said I was dishonest in business, and then she said I got in by assassinating the God of Rock, which sounded really cool!

But it's a good thing this way, it creates an opportunity for her.

Luo Chaya walked to the door, unlocked it, and walked out. Not everyone in the Qianyan Army knew that Luo Chaya was a prisoner here, and the Qianyan Army had changed their posts. The new Qianyan Army had never seen Luo Chaya before, and seeing her coming out so brazenly, they thought she was a visitor.

So, Luo Chaya easily left her prison and came outside.

After regaining her freedom, Luo Chaya walked towards the Hall of Rebirth. At this time, Zhongli should be in the Hall of Rebirth, right?

When Luo Chaya arrived at the entrance of the Wangsheng Hall, she happened to meet the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao. She was carrying a shovel on her shoulder, and it was unknown what she had just done. The hem of her clothes was still stained with mud.

Luo Chaya: “…”

Didn't she just bury someone?

Hu Tao noticed Luo Chaya standing outside the door. She immediately ran over and blocked her way. Then she looked at her with a big smile on her face and said, "Hey, sir, are you here to send someone off at our Wangsheng Hall? We are having a promotion recently and we are offering discounts!"

The funeral industry has discounts and promotions, so does that mean the second stele will be half the price?
