Chapter 185 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony
Chapter 185 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony
"You're back? Tomorrow is the ceremony to invite the immortals. It will be a grand scene. Discounts and promotions will also increase dramatically during this period. There may even be products with a 0% discount." King Hao was very excited.
Xing: "After I finished brushing the golden leyline flower, there is good news."
Ying: "Is the Rock God finally going to appear?"
Paimon: "0.5% off! If you see snacks at this discount, you must buy a lot. Paimon can enjoy them every day during the rest of your trip."
Kinich: "It's fun to come across this grand ceremony and take a look."
Gai Yi: "It sounds like a big banquet. What should I wear tomorrow?"
Kinich: "Dear, something festive would really liven up the atmosphere. I remember you had some Liyue-style clothing."
Ying: "Gai Yi, do you want to change into new clothes? Remember to take a photo with me when you do."
Xing: "I want one too. How can I be left out of the photo with the young lady?"
Luo Xiaoyue: "I have seen the Emperor, he is very handsome. When I was a little girl, I saw him on Daddy's neck. I even fantasized about marrying the Emperor, hehe."
King Hao: "How dare you say that."
Luo Xiaoyue: "There are many cases of immortals and mortals forming couples. I think I may still have a chance."
Prince Hao said with both anger and amusement, "If you are someone's reincarnation, then it's possible that the Emperor already has someone in his heart, but by the time he realizes it, it's already a regret. He simply can't move on."
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense and no one speaking, San Yueqi coughed to break the silence. "Uh... why did the atmosphere suddenly become so heavy? And Mr. Hao Wang, why do you act like you're so familiar with that god?"
King Hao smiled and didn't intend to explain the relationship between him and the Emperor: "You will understand when it's time, I won't say much." They just worked in the same funeral home, and their friendship was just a few drinks and kicking each other's butts.
Dan Heng looked at King Hao and said, "I'm curious: which is stronger, the gods of Teyvat or the star gods of the universe?"
King Hao stroked his chin and said, "There's absolutely no comparison...at least the Seven Gods' combat power hasn't reached the level of destroying a star."
Dan Heng also touched his chin and nodded, "Is that so?"
Xing also nodded: "Not yet at the Star Destroyer level? I think I can do it, then can I challenge them to a sparring match?"
King Hao spread his hands and said, "Sister, I know you are powerful, but don't commit suicide."
After hearing what King Hao said, everyone fell into a brief silence. Especially March Seven, who had already imagined what big thing was going to happen.
At this time, Paimeng broke the silence, waving his little hands and saying, "Oh, don't think about so many heavy things. Tomorrow is a big day, let's look forward to it!"
Gai also nodded and responded with a smile: "Paimon is right, I should think about which clothes will look more beautiful on me tomorrow."
Xing came close to King Hao, blinked, and asked, "Then tell me more about the Rock God. I'm really curious."
King Hao smiled helplessly. "The Rock God Morax has guarded Liyue for thousands of years, protecting this land with his unwavering will and immense strength. He is wise and steady, and governs Liyue in an orderly manner."
Sanyueqi asked curiously, "Does he have any special hobbies or habits?"
Prince Hao thought for a moment and said, "The Rock God enjoys quietness and often falls into deep thought when pondering problems. He always has long-term plans for the development of Liyue."
Dan Heng said thoughtfully, "It seems that this Rock God is indeed extraordinary."
Ying continued, "I really want to meet this legendary Rock God soon."
Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere gradually became lively again.
Xing put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "No matter what, I still look forward to the opportunity to communicate with Yan Shen."
King Hao waved his hands quickly: "Don't do anything rash. The majesty of the Rock God cannot be offended casually. Why don't I accompany you to show you how to do it?" Of course, I would rather show you how to do it on the bed. I don't know, bah, Wu System, have you changed my subconscious?
"Who are you? Don't you have any idea of your own? You're putting all this on me, right? Just because I did mess with some difficult characters? I'm so sad to be suspected."
Luo Xiaoyue smiled and joked: "Maybe Xing really has the courage to do this."
Xing raised an eyebrow: "Humph, I will definitely not miss the opportunity."
King Hao sighed and said, "You are really like a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger."
Everyone chatted and laughed until night fell, then they dispersed and fell asleep with anticipation for tomorrow's ceremony to invite the immortals.
When King Hao returned to the room, he suddenly felt someone behind him and his heart tightened.
Xing's voice came softly: "Don't look back, Prince Hao, she is your wife."
King Hao frowned: "You are quite courageous..." As he spoke, he reached behind her, grabbed her and threw her onto his bed, "Don't tell me you are afraid of ghosts and dare not sleep alone."
Xing chuckled: "Haha...that's true, but none of my friends want to sleep with me, so I can only pray to the handsome and generous Brother Hao Wang to help me."
Hao Wang said helplessly: "I have something to do tomorrow, I can accompany you, but don't think about crossing the line."
Xing blinked, looking a little expectant: "Um...can I hug you?"
King Hao's face darkened: "If you make another request, I will throw you over to the mass grave and let you stay there for a while." Xing shrank his neck and dared not say another word.
The room was quiet for a while. King Hao sighed helplessly and sat down on the edge of the bed. Xing carefully moved closer to King Hao.
"Brother Hao Wang, I'm really scared." Xing's voice trembled slightly.
King Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "Go to sleep. Everything will be fine tomorrow morning."
Xing nodded gently and closed her eyes, but her body was still trembling slightly. Seeing this, King Hao hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and patted her shoulder gently.
As the night deepened, the only sounds in the room were the shallow breathing of the two people. After an unknown amount of time, Xing finally seemed to relax, and her breathing became steady.
However, just when King Hao thought Xing was asleep and was about to get up and leave, Xing suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes again.
"Brother Hao Wang, don't go." Xing said in a daze.
King Hao frowned, but finally sat down again.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. King Hao opened his eyes and found Xing still asleep with a faint smile on his face, as if the fear of last night had completely dissipated.
King Hao got up quietly, trying not to wake Xing. But just as he was about to leave the room, Xing also woke up.
"Brother Hao Wang, thank you." Xing rubbed his eyes and said.
King Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Okay, get up quickly, don't forget that you still have things to do today." Xing nodded obediently and quickly got up from the bed.
Hao Wang: System, why does this Ah Xing seem strange? Did you do anything?
No, the Trail Blazers are practicing "One Hundred Million Ways to Conquer a Handsome Guy" on you. It's normal for you to have some strange lines or behave abnormally.
Prince Hao: "..." I kind of regretted not doing anything to her last night. Even though it was a free role, it was really amazing.
The next morning, the sun leaped into the sky and forcefully expelled sunlight, causing it to splatter across the streets of Liyue. The entire city was filled with a festive atmosphere. People donned their finest attire and flocked to the venue for the Summoning Immortal Ceremony.
Ying, Xing, and the others had also arrived early to see the square bustling with lights and decorations. On the high platform in the distance, everything was ready, awaiting the arrival of the Rock God.
And among the crowd, Xing's eyes were full of excitement and anticipation, wondering what exciting story would happen next.
At Liyue's harbor, the crowds bustled and bustled. Today was the annual ceremony to summon the immortals, and the entire Liyue was immersed in a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
Xing squeezed into the crowd and said, "The Immortal Ceremony is really lively. I bet something big will happen soon."
Paimon responded, "That's impossible no matter how you think about it. Liyue's security is clearly very serious."
Sanyueqi nodded perfunctorily. "Pioneer, can you please hope for the best? It would be really boring if we were wanted again."
Dan Heng was silent, but he had already controlled his spear with his mind and could summon it instantly when necessary.
King Hao looked at Dan Heng, smiled slightly, and continued to look towards the Temple of Heaven. Morax's plan was about to begin. However, this time there were more variables.
The square was solemn and dignified. Incense curled from a massive incense burner, and colorful silks fluttered in the wind. The people of Liyue had gathered early, awaiting the arrival of the immortal with awe and anticipation.
As the key figure presiding over the ceremony, Ningguang, clad in a gorgeous gown, wore a solemn and focused expression. Standing atop the platform, her gaze swept across the densely packed crowd below, her heart filled with hope that the ceremony would proceed smoothly.
"The time has come, please let the Immortal Ceremony begin!" Ningguang's voice was crisp and loud, echoing throughout the square.
Accompanied by solemn music, a group of dancers in ancient costumes danced gracefully. Their movements were neat and graceful, as if they were telling the immortals about the piety of the people of Liyue.
After the dance, several highly respected elders stepped forward, holding offerings and respectfully placing them on the altar. These offerings were Liyue's most precious products, symbolizing the people's gratitude and respect for the immortals.
Ningguang spoke again: "I offer my respects and prayers to the immortals. May the immortals protect Liyue, bringing prosperity and peace to the country and its people!"
Everyone shouted in unison: "We pay our respects to the immortals and pray for their blessings. May the immortals protect Liyue, bringing good weather, peace and prosperity to the country!"
The cheers were like thunder, shocking everyone. At this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared in the sky, and within the light, a figure loomed.
Ying was a little excited. Was the Rock God she had been thinking about finally going to appear on this day?
"The Emperor has arrived!" Cheers erupted from the crowd.
However, when the light faded, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and thunder appeared. People were surprised to find that His figure was falling straight down.
"Not good!" Ningguang's heart tightened, and she immediately led everyone forward to investigate. They saw the dragon lying lifeless on the ground, completely devoid of any signs of life.
This sudden change plunged the entire square into silence, and people's faces were filled with shock and fear.
"What on earth is going on?" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Ningguang forced herself to remain calm and said, "Don't panic, everyone. There must be something fishy going on. Let's investigate carefully."
Just as everyone was in chaos, a mysterious figure was watching everything silently in a distant corner, with an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth.
And because of this sudden incident, Liyue is about to face a huge storm...
And because of this sudden incident, Liyue is about to face a huge storm...
"The emperor has been assassinated! Lock down the whole place!"
Ying: "Huh?"
Xing said with an expectant look, "As the protagonist, you have to know that trouble will unfold around you."
Ningguang quickly cordoned off the scene and ordered her Thousand Rocks to maintain order, allowing the panicked civilians to evacuate. Her gaze was firm and calm. Though her heart was filled with doubt and anxiety, she had to maintain the composure and decisiveness expected of a member of the Seven Stars of Liyue before everyone.
Suddenly, the mysterious girl's voice rang out: "Hahaha... stop struggling... your actions are meaningless."
Xing opened her eyes wide: "I'm..."
