"Um..."
When Xiao heard the word "immortal" and the word "please,"
His expression had an indescribable strangeness.
It was as if they were engaged in some kind of powerful psychological struggle.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally sat down.
Seeing this, Ying and Paimon also sat down in the chairs.
"This Mr. Qiu Nian is definitely not an ordinary person, is he?"
Upon seeing this, Huai'an whispered to Philgoldette beside him.
"Certainly not."
"A person whom Xiao would address as 'Master' must at least be an immortal or something similar."
Philgoldette shook her head, then offered a guess.
If Xiao called Qiu Nian "Lord Qiu Nian" before, it could be considered a slip of the tongue.
What about the next sentence?
This... is truly unbelievable. Could it be that Mr. Qiu Nian is really the Emperor?
"Let's pretend we didn't hear that."
Huai'an looked at Philgoldette beside him and covered his forehead as he spoke.
Phil Gaudette nodded in agreement.
The events of today are constantly impacting her worldview.
The two then walked a short distance away.
Pretend you didn't hear anything.
And so, the four of them spent a somewhat awkward meal together.
"Alright, we've finished eating. It's time to go see the night lanterns."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and smiled at Xiao.
It's getting late.
After Qiu Nian finished speaking, he glanced at the setting sun.
"Let's go together, Xiao."
Ying looked at Xiao beside her and extended an invitation.
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao first glanced at Qiu Nian, then lowered his head slightly, as if hesitant.
"Otherwise, you can give us a ride."
"Please, Guardian Yaksha."
Ying looked at the hesitant Xiao and said with a smile.
"Yeah, even if you don't want to see the lanterns, you can at least take us there, right?"
"It's a long way to Liyue Harbor from here, and the wilderness is dangerous...right? Very dangerous!"
Paimon put his hands on his hips and looked at Ying beside him with a serious expression.
Ying nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Danger...?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao glanced at Qiu Nian with a somewhat strange expression.
"You, you shouldn't look at him!"
"Qiu Nian is currently seriously injured; he said it himself."
Paimon noticed Xiao's gaze and quickly waved his two little hands.
Unable to think of any other solutions, she simply brought up the fact that Qiu Nian was seriously injured.
"Lord Qiu Nian, is that really the case?"
"What's the situation now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao stood up immediately and asked Qiu Nian with great concern.
"it is true."
"After Qiu Nian lifted the seal on Guyun Pavilion, a demon god escaped from it."
"That demon god severely injured Qiu Nian with his life-or-death attack."
After Ying saw the owner and manager of Wangshu Inn walk away, she explained to Xiao.
Xiao didn't speak upon hearing this, but instead frowned slightly.
Could the demon god be that divine power I sensed that day...?
But when he arrived, he found only a huge pit covered with grass.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. You just need to rest for a few years."
"Besides that, you don't need to worry about the resentment and remnants of the demon god after his death; I've already taken care of those."
Seeing this, Qiu Nian shook his head slightly at Xiao.
"That's good."
Upon hearing this explanation, Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, his furrowed brows relaxed, and he sat back down in his chair.
"Right, for Qiu Nian and us now."
"The wilderness is very dangerous!"
"So all you have to do is escort us to the outskirts of the city!"
Paimon looked at Xiao in front of him and said with a serious expression.
Xiao nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Immortal Xiao."
"I am now severely injured and have lost most of my power. I may not even be able to deal with ordinary monsters."
Qiu Nian looked at the Xiao in front of her and said in a serious tone.
Chapter 100 Karma
"Although Qiu Nian did say that he was seriously injured."
"But isn't it a bit unreasonable for the injuries to be this severe?"
Looking at Qiu Nian's serious expression, Xuehua felt more and more that Qiu Nian was acting.
This is 100% acting.
This is clearly echoing Ying and Paimon's sentiments.
It would be absurd if Qiu Nian couldn't even beat a Hilichurl now.
"No problem, let's set off now!"
Seeing this, Paimon chuckled and stomped his foot.
After saying that, the four of them set off towards Liyue Harbor.
On the hillside outside Liyue Harbor.
From here you can see the entire Liyue Harbor.
Countless lanterns floated above the sea and city at night, creating a spectacular and beautiful sight.
Let's stop here.
"I won't go into town with you."
"Please protect Lord Guixu."
Xiao glanced at Qiu Nian, who was looking at Liyue Harbor not far away, and said to Ying and Paimon.
[Xiao, I'm so upset, he's still thinking about Qiu Nian!]
He truly values Guixu's safety very much.
"Wait a moment."
Ying called out to Xiao, who was about to leave.
"What else?"
Seeing this, Xiao looked at Ying in front of him and asked.
"You are among the heroes commemorated during the Lantern Festival... so why don't you want to see the lanterns?"
Paimon looked at the demon in front of him, feeling very puzzled.
Xiao had been very resistant to the Lantern Festival all along the way, and she really couldn't understand why.
"I...don't really like crowds."
“A carefree, peaceful crowd... I am not like them.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao crossed his arms over his chest, closed his eyes slightly, and began to explain.
“I have lived with killing for too long and have become accustomed to that kind of asceticism.”
Being with happy people only makes me...
At this point, Xiao opened his eyes.
"...Let's leave this topic here."
After saying that, Xiao tried to leave.
