Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 300 Transaction (Final)

The corners of the lady's mouth rose slightly, outlining a meaningful and somewhat cunning smile.

"Hehe... Sir, I should really thank you for this. Your seemingly reckless and disruptive actions were actually an extremely ingenious move in this game. Perhaps even the Rock God would appreciate your unexpected and wonderful performance. If it weren't for your momentum that triggered the great war between the immortals, mortals and demons, how could Liyue, a city that has long been under the protection of the Rock God and is like a rough jade, shine so brightly and brilliantly like a diamond in such harsh trials?"

The young master raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and smiled at the lady: "Oh, lady, you are standing on the position of a god from another country and mocking me. Do you think I am easy to bully? Are you saying this to challenge me?"

Ying sighed softly and said in a gentle voice, "Yeah, actually, I was almost fooled by Mr. Zhongli...same here."

Hearing this, a trace of helplessness and loneliness suddenly flashed in Tartaglia's eyes. He turned to look at Ying, Paimon, and Lin Huan, and forced a self-deprecating smile: "Alas... that's what I said, but now, you have become the hero of Liyue for turning the tide, and I... I'm afraid that my troubles in Liyue will be remembered forever in the book of hatred and can't be washed away. From now on in Liyue, I'm afraid I will become a person that everyone wants to kill."

Lin Huan walked forward slowly, raised his hand and gently placed it on the young master's shoulder. He looked into his eyes sincerely and said softly, "Mr. Tartaglia, don't be pessimistic. Although the storm you have stirred up in Liyue may seem reckless, I understand the difficulties and perseverance behind you. We just have different positions, but you are definitely not a treacherous person. The people of Liyue may be resentful because of their pain, but people's hearts are soft, and not everyone is obsessed with appearances. I firmly believe that as long as you have good intentions, you will eventually be understood. You are definitely not the rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats, so there is no need to suffer yourself."

The young master was slightly startled, with surprise flashing in his eyes. Then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Lin Huan with a little gratitude: "Haha, Miss Lin Huan, I didn't expect you to say that. In this foreign country, hearing your words, my heart can't help but warm up. But, after all, I have caused trouble to Liyue. Can I really get their forgiveness? However, since you said so, then I believe you."

The lady glanced at the young master with contempt and said in a cold tone: "Alright, young master! The Heart of God is already in our hands. There is no point in talking nonsense. Let's return to the Winter Palace as soon as possible to report to Her Majesty the Queen."

The young master looked disgusted and waved his hands impatiently: "Oh... okay, but I won't go back with you on the same ship. The thought of it makes me sick."

The lady snorted, "As you wish."

But just as the lady turned to leave, Lin Huan frowned slightly, looked at her worriedly, and said earnestly: "Madam, please wait! I know that you are loyal to the Ice Queen and are steadfast in carrying out your mission, which is understandable. But I advise you not to let arrogance blind your eyes. You should understand that in the countries ruled by other gods, the situation is complex and changeable, far from being as 'gentle' as under the rule of the Wind God and the Rock God. This time in Liyue, the Rock God has tolerated everything here with extraordinary wisdom and a broad mind. You must not take this for granted. We are all like chess pieces in the chess game of fate, and every move may trigger unpredictable reactions. Your arrogance may bring unexpected troubles to you and Zhidong in the future. I have no ill intentions in what I said, but I just hope that you can be alert and not go further and further on the wrong path."

"Hmph, little girl, put away your self-righteous preaching!" The lady stood still, with a proud look in her eyes and disdain. "I am the messenger of the Ice Queen. I only obey the Queen's orders. Carrying out the mission is my only mission. Why do I need the mercy and tolerance of the gods of other countries? In my eyes, you are just like ants. Your opinions are as light as a feather to me. I have only one goal, and that is to complete the will of Her Majesty the Queen and successfully obtain the Heart of God."

The lady raised her head proudly, and after she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away with big strides, her posture showing unquestionable determination.

After the lady left, the young man snorted with disdain on his face: "That guy is still as annoying as ever, like a bug whose brain was frozen by the ice. Miss Lin Huan, don't take it to heart..."

He turned to look at Lin Huan, Zhongli, and Ying, his expression relaxed a little, and he clasped his fists and said, "Lin Huan, Mr. Zhongli, Ying, we part today and I don't know when we will meet again. Although I acted rashly in Liyue and caused many troubles, you still treat me like this. I am lucky for Tartaglia."

The young master looked at Zhongli with a complicated look in his eyes: "Mr. Zhongli, the events in Liyue this time are much more complicated than I imagined. You... are indeed not simple."

Then he looked at Ying and said, "Traveler, I hope everything goes well for you in your journey to find your loved ones. If there is a chance, I look forward to fighting you again."

Finally, his gaze fell on Lin Huan, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Ms. Lin Huan, I will keep your words in mind. I hope that next time we meet, both my reputation in Liyue and myself will have changed. See you later!"

After saying that, he flashed away from the Northland Bank and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhongli looked calm and solemn. He looked around at everyone calmly and asked slowly, "Finally, do you have any questions?"

Ying's eyes were firm and her tone was steady as she said, "Mr. Zhongli, I want to know...what exactly is the Ice Queen's offer?"

Paimon agreed eagerly, waving his hands. "Yes, yes! Zhongli, you always say that transactions must be fair. What on earth can be exchanged for the 'Heart of God'? This is really curious!"

Zhongli's expression instantly became solemn. He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "According to common sense, there is really nothing in the world that can be equivalent to the 'Heart of God'. But I am the God of 'Contracts'. Over the past thousand years, countless contracts have been signed by me. If a deal is not profitable, I will never agree to it easily. This deal with the God of Ice was made at my last moment as the God of Rock. It is the 'Contract to End All Contracts'. As for the chips offered by the Queen of Ice..."

Zhongli turned his gaze towards Ying. His gaze was deep and far-reaching, as if it contained endless secrets and profound meanings. "The answer lies in your future journey. It is up to you to explore and discover it."
