Genshin Impact: My roommate and I became funny Hilichurls

Page 24

The dragon's furious roar made the signs in Liyue Harbor tremble.

Little Ruoduo was riding on its neck, excitedly tying a bow on its mane.

Ningguang led a dozen or so Thousand Rock soldiers in circles around the dragon, while Yelan's camera flash never stopped; Ganyu followed behind, carrying a document as tall as a person.

Zhongli suddenly put down his teacup, a sly glint in his eyes.

"What is the current situation of that 'Rock King Emperor'?"

A muffled chuckle came from beneath Zhang Chu's mask: "My setup for him is—he suddenly faints due to wear and tear during the ritual to summon immortals, and is on the verge of going insane."

He pulled out a crumpled script.

"After our 'treatment,' his memories returned to the time of the Demon God War."

Gu Qian added with a simple-minded look, "That's why he's currently criticizing you like crazy."

Ripples appeared in the teacup in Zhongli's hand.

The group of four was horrified to discover that the six-thousand-year-old deity's shoulders were trembling slightly, and the reflection in the tea was clearly a face trying to suppress a laugh!

"Although the plan to test Liyue has fallen through..."

Zhongli's voice carried an unusual lightness.

"But Morax has returned."

"but……"

Zhongli looked at the four of them and smiled, "It seems Morax is coming. What are your plans to do?"

“Young Morax isn’t so easy to talk to.”

The masks of the four people all cracked open at the same time.

Qingyu: "It's all over..."

Er Kang: "This is really bad..."

Zhang Chu: "Let's adapt to the situation."

Gu Qian: "Ah, this..."

On the Jade Capital Terrace, Ningguang sighed, looking at the mess on the ground.

Holding a stack of documents charred by the dragon's breath, Gan Yu explained softly, "His Majesty the Emperor has simply... reverted to his youthful state..."

"What was it like when you were young?"

Ye Lan shook the camera and asked in confusion.

"It must be due to wear and tear. Thanks to the treatment from those four people, the Emperor did not go mad, but instead became like this."

Gan Yu explained the situation.

Just then, a golden light suddenly descended upon the Three Bowls Cannot Cross the River.

Morax, fully equipped, stood beside the group, with the rock element condensing into dazzling crystals around him.

"Sure enough."

The deep, authoritative voice made the four Hilichurls immediately hide behind Zhongli.

Morax's golden eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze lingering on Zhongli's amber earrings for a moment.

There was an eerie silence in the air.

"I am not the real Morax."

Morax suddenly spoke, and he could sense that the "mortal" holding the teacup opposite him possessed a more ancient and profound rock elemental power than he did.

Zhongli gently set down his teacup, his eyes gleaming with the light of six thousand years of starlight: "From the perspective of universal reason..."

His voice carried a hint of helpless laughter.

"We are all real."

Morax's white robes fluttered without wind: "So this is..."

Zhongli didn't speak, but a golden light appeared on his finger and touched Morax's forehead.

Morax paused abruptly, then looked at the group of four with an unfriendly gaze.

The four were immediately terrified.

"Regarding this situation..."

Zhongli slowly stood up, and the phantom of the Piercing Rainbow Spear appeared behind him.

"We need to have a serious talk..."

Morax picked up the Rainbow Spear from behind Zhongli and walked towards the four of them.

"Run!!!"

The four-person group fled again.

This time, a golden meteor followed them, causing the earth's veins to surge and rocks to spring up wherever it passed.

Hu Tao suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding a giant megaphone: "Latest service from the Hall of Rebirth! Emergency Treatment for the Emperor's Beating! Book now for a rock-bottom price!"

A mournful wail echoed from the sky from the four-person group:

"We were wrong—"

"Never again—"

"Help me—"

"I want to die, I want to die, I want to die—"

The people of Liyue Harbor looked up at this once-in-a-millennium spectacle, and someone burst out laughing first.

Soon, cheerful laughter echoed throughout the entire port.

Five minutes later, on the ruins of Guiliyuan.

"Damn, I'm exhausted!"

Zhang Chu's mask was askew, and the rat talisman in his hand was still emitting blue smoke.

As the light faded, Morax transformed back into the Immortal Ancestor's Manifestation, crashing into the earth with a "boom," raising a cloud of dust.

Qingyu removed his mask and exhaled a puff of steam: "How can this guy be so patient!"

He threw down his RPG and complained, "It took me three hits of the Thousand Years of Death to go down! And I'm not even knocked out yet!"

Several dragon scales were stuck to Gu Qian's mask. He added, "He also took a 'Mount Tai Press' from me..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a flattened rock element shield from his pocket.

"Look, he's even broken his shield by sitting on it."

Er Kang collapsed to the ground, thankfully saying, "Thank goodness for Bai Luo's Sunset Fruit..."

He pulled out a bottle with a label that read "MAX Acidity".

Zhongli arrived late, stepping on golden light. He raised an eyebrow at the scene before him—the dragon tail of the Immortal Ancestor's molted body was tied with a bow, the dragon horns were painted pink, and most remarkably, Zhang Chu's thunder hammer was still tightly gripped in the dragon's claws.

"They managed to resolve it so quickly..."

Zhong Li's lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

"The four young friends are indeed..."

"Come on, old man!"

Zhang Chu simply tossed the rat talisman over.

"This thing is yours!"

The talisman traced a perfect parabola in the air.

The moment Zhongli raised his hand to catch it, the rat's eyes on the talisman suddenly blinked.

"This thing..."

"The Rat Talisman transforms stillness into movement."

Qingyu brushed the dust off his cloak.

“Your ‘retirement stand-in’ was created using that.”

Gu Qian added: "The setting needs to be written by yourself..."

He suddenly lowered his voice.

"Never write 'hunting down Hilichurls'..."

Erkang pulled out a "Character Setting Guide" from somewhere: "I recommend this! 'The Gentle Emperor's Guide to Raising a Ruler,' a special edition from Wangshengtang..."

Zhongli stroked the talisman, then suddenly revealed a chilling smile that sent shivers down the spines of the four: "From a purely rational perspective..."

The four of them retreated in unison.

That smile of yours is dangerous!

Chapter 25 Gan Yu

"Demacia!!!"

Qingyu performed a Leap of Faith, plunging the Hilichurl thug into the ground with a fluid and effortless motion, as if he had practiced it a thousand times.

"Let's get him!!"

Erkang swung a folding stool he pulled out from somewhere and unleashed a "Give Me Back My Beauty Punch" on the Abyss Mage.

The moment the frost shield shattered, Zhang Chu's lightning hammer, carrying 100,000 volts, slammed into the opponent's face.

"Help! How did these four living fathers end up here?!"

The Abyss Mage's scream startled the flocks of birds that had been flying for miles around.

Just as it was about to open a portal to escape, Gu Qian gave it a bear hug and slammed it into the ground, leaving only its two legs twitching outside.

"Rising Dragon Fist—!"
