Chapter 146
White hair, tsk tsk.
It's not surprising that Zhongli appeared at this time.
Seeing that Zhongli's eyes were all on Hu Zhai Gong, Hu Zhai Gong himself was a little nervous.
He turned around and buried his head in Su Bai's arms.
Seeing this, Su Bai hurriedly explained:"Yes... White foxes are indeed rare. I was playing in Inazuma recently and happened to meet this white fox. Seeing that this white fox was clingy, I adopted her... The hair is nice."
Su Bai said, acting quite calm.
His words made Zhongli retract his gaze. After thinking for a moment, Zhongli said lightly:"Inazuma once had a white fox fairy, who was the head of the fox clan... It's a pity that he passed away five hundred years ago. Inazuma didn't see white foxes often afterwards. This white fox is indeed precious."
Zhongli said.
I don't know if it was because Zhongli saw Hu Zhai Gong's identity... or because he was missing the past.
Anyway, when Zhongli said this.
Not only Hu Zhai Gong, but even Su Bai couldn't help but be stunned.
You know, Hu Zhai Gong died five hundred years ago.
If Zhongli finds out that she is alive again, how will Su Bai explain this?!
He can revive... the dead?!
The fewer people who know about this, the better.
After all, it has to be kept secret from the heavens, and it would not be good if the seven gods in power in the mortal world find out.
So Su Bai chooses to remain silent.
The less you say, the less mistakes you make.
Although Su Bai is silent, it can be seen that Zhongli has a special liking for white fur.
Perhaps it is because he saw Hu Zhaigong's white fur, which is very beautiful.
The usually steady emperor couldn't help but want to tease Hu Zhaigong, so he asked:"Can I touch this white fox?"
Su Bai:"???"
He froze at that moment.
Before he could speak, Hu Zhaigong took the initiative to refuse.
He turned his head and raised his tail behind him.
Hu Zhaigong shook his head, and the meaning was very clear.
No!
Zhongli did not force it, but said lightly:"It seems that this white fox is a little shy."
""Should be...right." Su Bai quickly agreed.
Then he touched Hu Zhaigong's white fur.
It seemed like he was comforting Hu Zhaigong, and it seemed like he was comforting himself.
"I think you came to Liyue this time because of the Moon Chasing Festival."The fox refused to let him touch its fur, so the emperor naturally would not discuss it anymore and changed the subject.
Seeing that he finally stopped paying attention to the Fox Palace, Su Bai was relieved.
He nodded and said,"Indeed. Ningguang sent someone to send a message, saying that she invited me to participate in the Moon Chasing Festival. I am a traveler, so I naturally go to where there is a lot of fun."
Su Bai said with a smile.
These words were not strange, so Zhongli did not say much.
It was just an elegant invitation:"It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't we have a simple meal together?"
In fact... Zhongli invited Su Bai to have a simple meal.
In essence, it was not a big deal.
But for some reason, Su Bai always felt that Zhongli was looking for him for more than just a meal.
So he said:"Ningguang invited me to the Qun Yu Pavilion... I should go to see her first."
Su Bai wanted to shirk his responsibility.
After all, seeing old man Zhongli at this time, Su Bai felt that there was nothing good about it.
The annoying thing was that Su Bai's psychological control ability was not enough to listen to Zhongli's inner voice.
So Su Bai planned to run away.
But to Su Bai's surprise, the old man obviously had no intention of letting Su Bai leave.
"It's time for dinner... Ningguang should be eating too. It would be a big bother if I went there this time. It would be a good idea to go there after dinner." Zhongli said gently.
Su Bai:"……"
I finally understood.
The old man was determined not to let him leave.
In that case, then he wouldn't leave.
Thinking of this, Su Bai smiled and said,"Let's have dinner together... I'll treat you."
Su Bai knew that he would have to pay for the meal.
After all... Zhongli wouldn't bring Mora with him.
He might as well be generous.
Zhongli nodded and replied very impolitely,"That's great."
Su Bai:"……"
……
……
The two went to the restaurant where the storyteller lived.
They ordered several of the restaurant's specialties.
Before the dishes were served, Zhongli spoke up:"I heard that your visit to Inazuma was quite an experience. You had a very close relationship with the god Inazuma.……"
Zhongli didn't say much nonsense, and simply brought the atmosphere into an awkward situation. As soon as Su Bai heard Zhongli speak, he knew.
It's over!
He guessed right!
Zhongli was looking for him for no good reason!!!
It was because of... the matter with Ying.
Damn it!!!
Zhongli came to support his"daughter"!!
Su Bai shouted helplessly in his heart.
But on the surface, he still pretended to be calm.
He smiled and said:"The relationship... is indeed not bad."
A true warrior dares to confront Zhongli head-on.
The engagement he made... must be recognized even if he kneels!
"It seems that the rumors are not untrue... You did do something incredible during the Eye Hunting Order Ceremony." Zhongli continued gently.
Although it sounded calm, it seemed... not so friendly.
It seems that the events of the Eye Hunting Order Ceremony had a great influence. Look, the news has even reached Liyue. As expected, good news doesn't go out... Once it goes out, it spreads a thousand miles.
"It was indeed impulsive."Su Bai smiled awkwardly and said quickly.
What's infuriating is... this scumbag fox Hu Zhaigong.
Nestled in Su Bai's arms, he was holding back his laughter...
He was shaking with laughter.
I guess he knew something.
He was laughing at me.
"Although I haven't seen the Thunder God of Inazuma for five hundred years... I know his personality. I'm curious, how did you get out of Inazuma?" Zhongli said tactfully. But the general meaning is.
You forcefully kissed the Thunder God, and she didn't kill you?
You were able to walk out of Inazuma alive?
Su Bai actually wanted to say... He had already made an engagement with the Thunder God.
But he thought of Kamisato Ayato's words.
Now is indeed not the time to announce it to the public, so he can only find a scapegoat to take the blame.
"I met the Wind God of Mondstadt during the Dragon Calamity. We drank and chatted, and it was pretty good... When he got drunk, he told me……"
"When the god was still a shadow warrior, he often liked to ask others to practice with him in order to pursue the ultimate martial arts. He had also practiced with others before and knew that the shadow's weakness was dessert."
"I tried it and found that the Wind God was not lying to me."
Su Bai said with a smile.
Zhongli:"……"
It's that guy who doesn't do his job again.
He's still the same as always, he talks about everything when he's drunk.
No wonder Ying said he doesn't get along with him.
Zhongli complained in his heart.
At this time, Barbatos, who was drinking in Mondstadt, couldn't help but sneeze.
I always feel like... someone is scolding him.
……
……
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen the Thunder God of Inazuma for a long time. But from what you said, it seems that she still retains some of her old habits."
"Oh, that's right. Come to think of it, you and Ganyu haven't seen each other for a long time."
"These days, I occasionally saw her gazing out over the mountains, and I wondered if she was worried."
