But Xixiang ruled Liyue, enriched the country and strengthened the people, which gradually dissipated Morax's vigilance against him and treated him as a friend.

Morax is very charming. Although he is not good at expressing words and emotions, it must be said that this rock-like demon god will give people a lot of peace of mind and trust. He is the kind of person who looks reliable.

Moreover, he knows etiquette and abides by the rules. Even as a demon god, as the emperor of Liyue, he does not act recklessly, and he knows to knock on the door and greet people.

Xixiang is completely different from him in this regard. Xixiang is good at Nangong Nayue's space control technique. He goes wherever he wants. He never knows what doors and windows are, and always appears suddenly next to someone.

The biggest problem of Morax may be that he likes to eat free meals and does not pay for meals.

"Come in, Morax, you know I'm not busy, why bother asking."

Xixiang retracted his gaze to the outside and shouted to the lobby.

"This is basic etiquette."

Speaking of this, Morax pushed open the door and walked slowly into the house.

Chapter 21 Zhongli, do you know the twin demon gods of Inazuma?

Morax walked into the house, and Ganyu, who was sitting at the table, stood up and shouted: "...Emperor!"

Morax's calm eyes fell on Ganyu, and he nodded slightly and said: "...It's good for you to learn some knowledge from Zaratu."

"...You are half human and half fairy, and you have to contact people after all."

Morax said these words to Ganyu in the past.

It's just that Ganyu was young at that time and still ignorant, and didn't know what Morax meant.

Now as she grows older, although she is still young for fairy beasts, Ganyu has somewhat understood the deep meaning of these words.

Ganyu has also discovered that the human part of her blood makes her like the human market life very much, making it difficult for her to be as free and unrestrained as a real fairy.

However, Ganyu was still afraid that her identity would be disliked by humans and alienated by them, so she was always worried.

"What Lord Zaratu taught is very profound. I think if I learn it, I can also benefit Liyue and fulfill the contract with the emperor."

Ganyu said timidly, and her cute little eyes secretly glanced at Xixiang.

"Good! The contract should be observed... Ganyu, you should study hard. Even if I don't understand the principles taught by Zaratu, they are all the truths of the world."

"...But you should also pay attention to rest and don't get tired."

Morax is like this. He seems indifferent, and even his expression and emotions don't fluctuate much, but he actually cares about people.

He cares about the people of Liyue, and whether it is Ganyu or those immortals, they are all people of Liyue in his heart.

Ganyu was happy when Morax said this, and she pursed her lips unconsciously, revealing a small dimple.

At this time, Heulia came back from the kitchen. When she saw Morax, she was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "... Morax, you are here? I will make you a cup of tea."

Morax stopped her and said: "... I just came to see Zaratu for something."

"... I am relieved to see you are okay."

Morax and Heulia have actually known each other for many years. When Guili Ji was still alive, the two sides were neighbors for hundreds of years.

At that time, the many demons in Liyue had a good relationship and there was no dispute at all. If it were not for the coming of the demon war, Morax would not be hostile to the demons.

Seeing that Morax seemed to have something important with Xixiang, Ganyu and Heulia were ready to leave.

Xixiang stopped them and said to Morax: "... Why don't we go out for a walk?"

"Okay!"

Morax nodded and said.

Xixiang gave Ganyu and Heulia a few instructions, telling them that if the "Seven Stars" came here, they should discuss a plan by themselves first and make a judgment after he came back.

After that, he and Morax left the ‘Purple Palace’ and headed for Liyue Harbor.

Morax changed out of his white robe at this time. In the past, Morax always appeared in this outfit in front of people. If he went out like this, it would definitely cause a sensation.

He changed into a slim-fitting long dress with a brown-black base, and his temperament was calm.

Xixiang also changed out of his black robe with gold edges and put on a similar style of clothing as Morax, but the color was different. Both of them were noble and elegant.

Not many people in Liyue Harbor have seen Xixiang, but they also recognize his clothes.

Liyue Harbor was quite lively in the morning. Every household was either doing small business and selling, or walking in a hurry.

The clerks at the breakfast stalls on the street were busy, calling out to the guests coming and going.

After breakfast time, it was quiet and started a day's work.

Morax walked in the market with ease, stopping from time to time to watch, listen to the bargaining around, and observe the prices of various foods.

Xixiang followed him, the lantern in his hand turned into a paper umbrella, and the two of them walked together like two rich young men going out.

Liyue Port is no longer the same as it was ten years ago. The civilians on the street are already wearing clean and tidy clothes. Although they are not expensive, they are no longer as naked as when they just left Guiliji.

Xixiang did not say anything, he knew that this was Morax's way of governing Liyue.

He always liked to walk in the market, watching the sufferings of the world and the lives of the lower classes, and then warned the world every year and left a plan for the next year.

Not long after, Xixiang was taken to a simple tea stall by Morax.

The tea stall owner saw Morax and said happily: "...Mr. Zhongli, you came so early today to drink tea."

After seeing Xixiang following Zhongli, the owner's face became even happier.

It's not that he knew Xixiang, but the owner felt that someone could finally pay back the tea money owed by Mr. Zhongli.

Mr. Zhongli occasionally came here to drink tea, but he never brought money.

Although a heroic lady would come to help him pay the money every now and then, he was a small business and still liked to pay on the spot, not on credit.

However, Mr. Zhongli was knowledgeable and well-informed. Sometimes chatting with him made people feel that the trip was worthwhile, and the tea money was actually nothing.

"Zhongli...Guizhong, Guili...He (ciff)..."

Xixiang smiled playfully when he heard Morax's alias.

Morax's face remained unchanged. It was still difficult to make this demon god show emotions.

Soon the boss brought two cups of tea. Seeing Xixiang's extraordinary bearing, he was not an ordinary person. He smiled and said, "...What's your name, sir?"

"Just call me Xixiang."

Xixiang rarely said his real name, which was the most suitable name in Liyue, and this was one of the reasons why he liked this place very much.

He was the opposite of Morax. This name was his original name, and Zarathustra was his later name.

Morax didn't think there was anything wrong.

Liyue culture is here. Whether it is Morax or Zarathustra, you can tell that they are not locals. Besides, everyone in Liyue knows that these two names are the names of the two emperors who rule Liyue now.

Morax also thought that "Xixiang" was a pseudonym.

"It turns out to be Mr. Xixiang. Please come and try our tea. It's a small shop and the tea is not good. You look rich and you are dressed like a rich man. I guess you don't like our tea."

"... But my tea-making skills are inherited from my ancestors!"

The boss is a businessman at first glance. He is very enthusiastic in soliciting business and advertising.

However, Liyue is a country based on business, and many people here are businessmen.

Xixiang smiled and said yes. He took a sip of tea. The tea leaves are indeed not high-end, but the taste is known to be fried by special methods, but it has its own characteristics.

Xixiang praised the tea, and the boss happily went to work.

However, it is not busy. Only Xixiang and Zhongli, two idle people, came to drink tea early in the morning.

"Are those demons ready?"

After drinking a few sips of tea, Xixiang asked.

He actually knew what Morax wanted to say to him.

Morax also took a sip from the teacup and nodded, saying, "...Ten years is enough for them to recover from their old injuries."

"...They got together briefly some time ago, probably to discuss the invasion of Liyue."

Xiang nodded and said, "...I have been waiting for them for too long."

Morax said again, "...I originally planned to defeat them one by one and not give them the opportunity to unite again."

"...But doing so will easily alert the enemy and make them dormant again. When they hide again, I don't know how long this war will last."

"Now that you are here, I have decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, and wait for them to come to Liyue to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and completely end this war that has lasted for hundreds of years!"

Morax is also a person who makes decisions when necessary, and never hesitates.

"Very good, then we will discuss how to distribute the combat power."

Although even if all the demons besiege Xixiang together, he will not be afraid, but there are too many demons, and it is inevitable that the people of Liyue will be hurt during the war.

So strategically despise the enemy, tactically take the enemy seriously, the words of great men are always reasonable.

Xixiang did not take this war too seriously. Even without him, Morax alone might have a hard time, but there was hope of winning.

Now with his help, the war has actually been decided long ago. Morax also knew this, so he wanted to solve all the problems in one fell swoop without leaving any trouble.

Xixiang was now interested in other things. He smiled and asked: "... Morax... Zhongli, do you know the twin demons of Inazuma?".

Chapter 22 Become the guest of the twin demons

"Inazuma's twin demons?"

Zhongli, who was holding a teacup in his hand, was slightly stunned. He didn't know why Xixiang mentioned the demon far away in Inazuma.

But he was not a person who liked to get to the bottom of things. Seeing Xixiang's question, he answered truthfully.

The rock demon put one hand on his chin and looked away slightly. That was Zhongli's habitual action when he was thinking.

"The twin demons you mentioned, Xixiang, should be Baal and her sister Baalzeb."

"...Before the Demon War, Liyue and the current Inazuma also had economic exchanges. At that time, there were endless ships on the coast of Guiliji, trading goods with the Mingjin Island ruled by the sisters at that time."

"Inazuma's Demon War should be over soon. Baal is not mentioned for now. Her sister Baalzeb is indeed powerful. There should be no demon in Inazuma's area who can be the opponent of the sisters."

Zhongli first talked about the news he knew about the twin demons at this stage, and then said:

"...Before the Demon War, I also had some contact with the sisters, but not much."

"As the elder sister, Baal has a gentle personality and is quite intelligent, while as the younger sister, Baalzeb is not good at words and has a dull personality."

"...But I guess these sisters are in trouble now."

Zhongli only knew a little bit about the twin demon gods. He gave a general impression of them and their characters.

Xixiang asked with great interest at this time: "...Oh? What are they worried about?"

Zhongli put down his tea cup, lowered his head slightly and said, "...there can only be one winner in an area of ​​the Demon God War. This is the law of destiny, and we and the Demon Gods cannot disobey it."

"...I once had a friend named Maxius, who was the Demon God of the Hearth. However, during the Demon God War, he dispersed all his wisdom and strength to protect the people of Liyue."

"Because Maxius knows that if the Demon God War goes to the end, even if Liyue is the final winner, he and I will have to decide the outcome."

"...His death is an inevitable result, so Marcusius gave up his intelligence and strength, leaving only the remnant soul of the demon god."

"This is not only to continue to protect the people of Liyue, but also the only hope for Marcus to survive. Even when he regains consciousness again, he may no longer be him."

Morax sighed slightly. Even a person with a strong temperament like him who would never be swayed by his emotions would still be moved when he talked about his friends.

"Then you and Guiwen..."

At this time, Xixiang finally understood why Morax was able to calm down so quickly after his death. In addition to his own perseverance, it was also because Morax and Guifu had anticipated this scene.

"As you can imagine, even if we don't die in the end, one day we will be facing each other with swords. With her character, she will probably choose to end her life in another way like Marcusius."

Zhong Li actually had something left unsaid, that is, it would have been nice if he could have opened the invitation earlier and got to know Xixiang.

But he is not one to regret.

Heulia can now be said to be the only alternative among the demon gods. She chose to escape and not participate in the war, but she survived and was not punished by Sky Island.

Mainly because Heulia signed a contract with Saigo at the cost of her soul.

Xixiang's current 'chaos spirituality' is essentially the power of the omnipotent domain, not to mention that Xixiang is the mother of the evil god, and her spirituality is far more noble than the so-called Sky Island in this world.

Even if Sky Island may have mastered some of the power of the fragments of the Mother of Evil God, the fragments are still fragments, and there is a huge gap compared with the real spirit of the Mother of Evil God.

After all, the fragments are just an insignificant part of the total power field.
