Chapter 55

"Incredible... truly incredible..."

"Hmm, it just so happens that Dvalin has been quite well-behaved recently. Should I go over and take a look?"

"Bring a few bottles of aged fine wine, I shouldn't be slapped away, right..."

It had been a long time since they caught up.

Going over to take a look would also be quite fun.

It just so happens that I am also very interested in Liyue’s delicacies and that alchemical city.

A moment later, the unscrupulous bard laughed: "Decided, let's go take a look... it just so happens that I also have some doubts about The Chasm that I want to ask about."

He beckoned to a place in Windrise.

A gentle green airflow bombarded the ground.

Accompanied by the explosion of soil.

Ten bottles of aged fine wine rose from the ground, and accompanied by the airflow, they quickly arrived before Venti.

"Hmm, let's drink these this time. The others will be left for next time..."

Swish.

The airflow appeared again.

And he followed the wind, flying toward Liyue. ===== CHAPTER 158 =====

Night fell.

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor backyard.

Zhongli was drinking alone under the moon.

A verdant wind blew toward him.

"Morax, drinking alone again, you are too boring... let me keep you company, how about it?"

Accompanied by the condensation of the wind shadow.

Venti appeared before Zhongli with a smile.

In his hand, he not only brought wine but also fragrant roasted meat.

It must have been purchased on the way here.

"So it is you, Barbatos. Hmm, recently I’m in a good mood... sit down."

Seeing his old friend not chasing him away for once.

Venti smiled very happily.

"Ehe, that’s right. Come taste it, the century-old wine I buried in Windrise, the taste is excellent."

"Hmm, it is indeed not bad."

Zhongli picked up the cup and tasted it.

It was indeed much better than the wine in the mortal world.

The taste was mellow, and the scent was rich.

A very rare treasure.

Venti saw the atmosphere was good, so he took the opportunity to ask: "When I came, I saw that city in Guili Plains; I really didn't expect you to allow them to research technology."

Since experiencing the Khaenri'ah incident.

All countries except Snezhnaya.

Were intentionally or unintentionally suppressing technological power.

However, the most stubborn Geo Archon actually allowed his people to develop technology.

This was truly astonishing.

Zhongli explained: "Liyue’s technology is only aimed at people's livelihood and serving the public, and does not involve war. Since that is the case, why should I stop it."

"So that’s what you think, alright... however, for the sake of the wine I gave you, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Hmm, tell me about it..."

"That, can you lend me the thing in The Chasm to use? Dvalin’s situation hasn't been very good recently, I want to use it to purify him."

Today 203 he went to many places in Liyue.

So he came over at night.

Among them, the thing that surprised Venti the most was that treasure in The Chasm.

It could actually suppress the power of the Abyss.

With it, perhaps Dvalin could be saved.

Zhongli shook his head and refused: "I cannot help with this matter..."

"Hmm, why? Aren't we friends?"

Venti was a bit anxious.

He drank his wine, yet he wouldn't do the favor.

How could there be such a thing.

Zhongli looked at him and said calmly: "That is not my thing, but Su Han’s treasure. If you want to borrow it, you should find him..."

"But isn't Su Han your subordinate? It only takes one order..."

"No, you are mistaken! Su Han is not my subordinate, but my friend; it is precisely because I respect him that he is willing to stay in Liyue.

If you want to borrow the Dragon Vein.

Go discuss it with him...

I can introduce you."

Looking at Zhongli’s serious eyes, Venti understood that the other party wasn't lying.

Because Morax never lies, nor does he disdain to lie.

But asking him to beg a mortal.

How embarrassing would that be.

Should he try to steal it?

Anyway, just return it after using it, it should be fine, right.

Venti was calculating the feasibility of the matter.

Zhongli, who knew the Anemo Archon’s personality very well, warned him hurriedly: "I advise you to give up that little thought; once Su Han knows that Mondstadt stole the Dragon Vein.

The consequences will be very serious.

I think you should know.

A few days ago, some people held his people hostage, what the consequences were..."

Venti blinked and stammered: "He... he wouldn't attack Mondstadt, right?"

"That I don't know, he is currently Liyue’s national treasure, with a status far above the Qixing; just say the Anemo Archon stole the Dragon Vein.

The outbreak of war is foreseeable.

By that time, you and I might have to fight..."

Although the Seven Archons have a good relationship.

But for the sake of their respective countries.

It’s not like they haven't fought before!

If war really breaks out.

He would take action for Liyue.

Looking at the old man with an unkind expression, Venti waved his hands hurriedly: "Alright, alright... I’m really afraid of you, I won't steal it.

When can we meet?"

"It’s late today, tomorrow..."

"Good, I will come find you tomorrow morning."

Saying that, Venti disappeared.

The next day, early morning.

Su Han was woken up by Zhongli from the group.

Feeling him get up. ===== CHAPTER 159 =====

Shenhe also woke up.

Compared to the previous two days, she appeared even more gentle.

Even this time, she specifically took Su Han’s clothes first and handed them to him.

"I’m going out for a trip in a while, are you coming?"

"Hmm."

Shenhe nodded gently while tying the red rope.

Anyway, wherever he goes, she goes.

Half an hour later.

Su Han arrived at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor backyard; at this time, Hu Tao was still in Guili Plains and hadn't returned yet.

This girl had already gone crazy playing yesterday.

And didn't want to come back at all.

"Hey, Zhongli... what is the matter for calling me?"

"Yo, hello. Su Han, I am Venti... Zhongli’s close friend, this time I have something to ask of you."

Seeing him arrive.

Venti hurriedly greeted him, even specifically stating.

That he was Zhongli’s good friend.

The moment Su Han saw Venti, he knew the other party must be up to some trick.

"Oh, what is the matter, speak?"

"Cough cough, it’s like this. I heard you have a treasure that can suppress the power of the Abyss. I want to borrow it...

Once I’m done using it..."

"I’m sorry, the Dragon Vein is not for lending."

Before Venti could finish speaking, Su Han refused directly.

The Chasm had just stabilized.

How could he lend out the Dragon Vein.

He really wants to eat shit.

Saying that, he turned and left, not wanting to deal with this Anemo Archon at all.

"Wait a moment..."

In his anxiety, Venti circled in front of Su Han.

Seeing the other party’s unkind expression, he hurriedly explained: "You should know about Mondstadt’s dragon disaster, right? If I have the Dragon Vein, I can save the Stormterror..."

"Heh..." Su Han sneered, disdainfully: "If the Dragon Vein is lent to you and snatched by the Abyss, what will you use to compensate?

The Stormterror matter.

Was your problem to begin with, right?

Barbatos.

If it weren't for you being lazy all day, would the Stormterror have been controlled by the Abyss? When Dvalin defeated the dragon Durin, he was already contaminated by the other party’s blood.

But what did you do?

Drink wine every day?

Or just wait to die!

The Dragon Vein is not mine, but belongs to all of Liyue; if you dare to steal it, I will lead the Millelith to completely destroy Mondstadt.

I mean what I say!"

Shenhe was very surprised; she didn't expect this person wearing bard clothes.

To be the Anemo Archon of Mondstadt.

And, the most outrageous thing was that the other party actually had a request for Su Han!

"Let’s go, Shenhe..."

"Hmm."

The two came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

Leaving only Venti alone in the wind, while Zhongli watched the show the whole time without interrupting.

Until Su Han left completely.

Venti looked at Zhongli with some annoyance and asked: "Did you tell him my identity?"

"Su Han is a traveler from another world, knowing many things even I don't know. When we met, he directly pointed out my identity...

As for him recognizing you.

I am not curious at all.

Perhaps, there is nothing in Teyvat he doesn't know."

Zhongli had long expected such a result, because when the two talked before.

Su Han complained about Mondstadt’s shortcomings more than once.

Venti rubbed his brow, distressed: "Then what should be done? Just watch me have a headache..."

"I think Su Han is right; if you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you had noticed Dvalin’s physical abnormality earlier, you wouldn't have discovered the current situation."

Zhongli couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, among the Seven Archons, it wasn't just him who didn't like him.

The Electro Archon didn't like this Anemo Archon either.

"Forget it, since he is unwilling to help. Then I will find other methods..."

Venti left in disappointment.

Being lectured by a mortal.

He really didn't expect it.

However, Venti was actually very self-reproachful; if he had noticed his partner’s abnormality earlier, it would have been fine.

On the streets of Liyue.

Shenhe suddenly asked: "Was that the Anemo Archon just now?"

"Hmm, that’s him. Compared to the Geo Archon, this guy is simply too lazy. He didn't think of any way to deal with what happened five hundred years ago.

Now that the fire is burning his eyebrows.

He starts to seek medical advice in a panic.

What was he doing earlier?"

Su Han had no good feelings for Venti at all.

A drunkard with no responsibility at all.

Who only knows how to drink.

It is truly thanks to good luck that Mondstadt has survived until now.

Shenhe wondered: "Aren't you afraid of making the Anemo Archon angry?"

"What’s there to be afraid of? I am the national treasure designated by the Geo Archon, anyway that guy can't beat our Archon. He deserves to be angry.

By the way, after breakfast, let’s practice.

How about I teach you the method of practicing Haki?"

"Hmm. You decide..."

Shenhe nodded gently.

The two walked toward Wanmin Restaurant.

After enjoying a breakfast.

They started their daily practice; it must be said that Shenhe’s comprehension is really strong, even more terrifying than Keqing’s.

Just needing one point.

She could extend it along this line of thought.

Six hours later.

A layer of black power wrapped around Shenhe’s spear.

Armament Haki practice successful. ===== CHAPTER 160 =====
