When Ling Mengxue is around, Xiao always has a dreamless and peaceful night.

But tonight was different. Perhaps it was because he was thinking too much, or perhaps it was because the stone on his heart could not be let go. Xiao seemed to be floating in the salty sea water in a half-asleep and half-awake state. He even suspected that he was being controlled by the Dream Demon again, otherwise how could he fall into this terrible nightmare.

The enchanting yet hoarse voice echoed in his ears. The voice was so familiar, as if it came from Xiao's own throat.

"In the end, I still couldn't keep her——" "She killed the person you respected the most——"

"—!"

Xiao's eyes suddenly widened, and he sat up from the ground in an instant, clutching his clothes with one hand. The pain of his heart being squeezed so hard that he couldn't help but breathe in big gulps of air.

"Xiao... Immortal?" Ying asked cautiously. The Immortal Xiao in front of him looked extremely painful, and his face was very ugly.

"He's awake! That's great!" Paimon breathed a sigh of relief. Although the cold-faced immortal in front of him looked very bad, it was probably just due to overwork.

"My Lord, your hand..." Ying looked at Xiao's hand worriedly. His hand was covered with blood and dirt. It seemed that he had been digging in the ruins alone with his bare hands for a long time.

"I'm fine." Xiao was a little disappointed. How great it would be if he could open his eyes and see the Bai Xue whom he had been thinking about day and night.

"Mr. Zhongli asked us to find you, saying that he had something important to tell you." Ying remembered the purpose of her coming to find Xiao. She had to tell Xiao as soon as possible that Mr. Zhongli was still alive.

"...Emperor, is he really still alive?" Xiao couldn't believe his ears. The contract between him and the Emperor had clearly been...

"This is a long story, so I'd better let Mr. Zhongli explain it to you personally. However... don't be surprised to see Mr. Zhongli now."

"I promise, you can't imagine how cute the Emperor is now!" Thinking of little Zhongli's appearance as a little adult, Paimeng felt that even he would not be able to help but rush over and pinch his chubby little face.

"Cute?" Xiao frowned when he heard Paimeng's evaluation of the Emperor. The Emperor has always been calm, so what nonsense is this little flying monster talking about?

"Anyway, let me take care of your wound first. I can't let you go to see the Emperor like this." Ying looked at the miserable appearance of Xiao Shangxian in front of him and shook his head.

"Let this little flying monster come." Xiao pointed at Paimon.

"I'm not a flying monster, my name is Paimon! Damn it. I..." Paimon was about to curse, but when he saw Ying shaking her head, he had to swallow all the unpleasant words back in anger.

Under Ying's guidance, Paimeng hurriedly treated Xiao's wound. He was very angry in his heart. Could it be that this young immortal now had some strange mysophobia? Ying, such a cute girl, wanted to bandage his wound, but he refused. This is what many adventurers dream of.

"Let's go." Xiao had too many questions in his mind, but it was really good to know that the Emperor was still alive. He really couldn't face Bai Xue who killed the Emperor.

If the Emperor really died at the hands of Bai Xue, even if it was his own will, Xiao felt that he would never be able to be with Bai Xue in peace in this life.

Great, the Emperor is still alive. Xiao felt that his tense heart in the past few days could finally be relieved. Although he still hadn't found any trace of Bai Xue, this was undoubtedly the best news.

In the Hall of the Dead, Zhongli finally had his own seat—a mahogany chair with a backrest specially prepared for him by Hu Tao.

After successfully taking down the Fatui's big order, Hu Tao couldn't wait to go out to the wild to look for Fatui. Seeing her full of fighting spirit, Zhongli could only pray silently in his heart for the Fatui soldiers, hoping that they would not meet this little girl too soon, otherwise...

Just as he was thinking, Ying's voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Zhongli, I have brought Xiao Shangxian to you."

Zhongli quickly climbed down from the stool, and then carefully looked out through the crack in the door. There was no other way. It was too inconvenient for him to move around like a child. Moreover, since he became like this, he had become more sensitive and noticed that there seemed to be more perverts around him...

The feeling of being held in my arms every day is really hard to describe. So when Hu Tao is not around, Xiao Zhongli chooses to close the door and refuse visitors.

"Emperor, it's me." After hearing Xiao's trembling voice, Zhongli opened the door with confidence.

"This..." Like everyone else, Xiao was also stunned when he first saw this seven or eight-year-old child in front of him who looked very similar to the Emperor.

"Don't just stand there, come in and talk." Mr. Zhongli seemed to have known that Xiao would have this expression, and hurriedly called Ying and Paimeng to come in.

Xiao sat obediently aside, listening to Zhongli telling him everything that had happened in the past few days.

Ying and Paimon were also very curious about why Emperor Geo suddenly became smaller, so they sat down and listened.

"In other words, the reason you became like this is a punishment from the Supreme God?" After listening to this incredible story as if listening to a book, Ying finally couldn't help but start asking questions.

"This is not a punishment at all. I think it is a gift from God to the old man!" Paimon expressed his true thoughts without hesitation, but when he turned around and saw Xiao's fierce eyes, he immediately shut up.

"Since the God of Contract has given up the contract, he no longer has the ability to sign a contract with anyone. This really can't be considered a punishment."

"If there is any punishment, it should be to make Mr. Zhongli become what he is now." Paimon thought about it and this was probably the only punishment. Turning into a child would indeed cause a lot more trouble. Not to mention other things, just dealing with this group of perverts every day would be very...

Xiao is very anxious now. He urgently needs to know an answer, whether it was really Snow White who hurt the Emperor. Although the Emperor also acknowledged that he should be punished for abandoning the contract, Xiao still cannot accept it from the bottom of his heart.

"Please tell me, Your Majesty, is it really Bai Xue who hurt you?" Xiao finally mustered up the courage to speak.

Before waiting for the emperor to give an answer, Xiao kept repeating to himself in his heart: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, believe her."

Little Zhongli looked at the distraught young Yaksha in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling pity for the poor young couple.

He thought, let's give him a try. Although he trusted his subordinates and that young friend, he had to be responsible to Liyue and all the people.

He spoke slowly, his tone was a little deeper, "Do you know what she did for you?"
