Bai Ye: Zhongli's Shield Gave Me an Unmatched Sense of Security

After a thorough investigation, no clues were found regarding Bai Ye's departure.

Shenhe left with only a look of longing.

On her way back, she happened to pass by Ayaka's room.

At this moment, Ayaka is writing a letter by the window.

"Brother, Bai Ye recently wants to build a grand city called Guili Plains that blends the styles of the Seven Nations..."

While she was writing a letter seeking help, she saw Shenhe pass by through the window.

Um!?

What did Shenhe He go there for?

At that moment, Ayaka remembered that the room over there was Bai Ye's room.

Is it really that difficult...?

She immediately looked around Shenhe nervously, and when she realized that Shen He was all alone, she breathed a sigh of relief.

It's alright, he didn't do something like running over to Bai Ye, picking him up, and then running away.

Or rather, there was no skill involved...

Ayaka saw Shenhe's dejected expression.

It's definitely not going to work.

Ayaka thought to herself.

Then,

Next, I need to write to my older brother much faster.

Hey bro, hurry up and work hard! I'll find you a brother-in-law then.

At that moment Kamisato Ayato, far away in Inazuma, couldn't help but shudder.

He quickly drank a cup of milk tea to calm his nerves, thinking to himself:

"It's cold, I wonder what's wrong with it. It's a pity that Thoma and Ayaka went to Liyue, and now the housework at home is a bit chaotic."

Although the family has no shortage of servants, only Thoma is able to manage the household chores in an orderly manner.

Bai Ye was unaware of what had happened inside the Serenitea Pot. At that moment, he was heading towards the direction where the Dragon King Azhdaha was sealed, together with Guo Guoba Zhongli Li.

Although the place where Dragon King Azhdaha was sealed is far away from Gui Bai Ye, where Bai Ye is located, it is no big deal for Zhongli.

He flew through the sky and instantly transformed into a giant dragon, carrying Bai Ye and Guoba on his body as they flew northwest. To prevent Bai Ye from getting cold, Zhongli thoughtfully set up a shield around himself to protect against the high temperatures and cold winds.

In the blink of an eye, Zhongli led the group past Wangshu Inn.

Arriving at Jueyun Karst, Moon Carver flew over from the sky.

"Your the Geo Archon, what has brought you here in this transformed form?"

He asked Zhongli.

"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. I'm just taking Bai Ye and Guoba to see Azhdaha."

"Hmm?" Only then did Moon Carver notice Bai Ye and Guoba on Zhongli's body.

"Could it be that Makoshort has regained his memories?"

Xiaoyue looked at Guoba and asked.

"From now on, just call me Guoba. The name Makoshort, after I poured my power into the land of Liyue, meant that I abandoned that name. Even now, even after I regain my memories, I will still use this name."

"Hmm, Guoba."

Xiaoyue nodded.

"Guoba is almost fully restored. The remaining Gods power of Guoba in the Liyue Ley Line is probably sealed along with Azhdaha. I'm going to see Azhdaha and resolve these issues together."

Zhongli said to Xiaoyue.

"Understood." Xiaoyue nodded. "Your the Geo Archon, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No, not for now. You should go back and cultivate."

"Um."

Xiaoyue nodded, then prepared to turn around and return to his cave to cultivate.

He had already learned from Guchen Cloud Retainer about the potential invasion of the Abyss, and naturally, the Adepti would need to contribute greatly. The more he cultivated now, the greater his chances of survival in the future war against the Abyss.

After Xiaoyue left, Zhongli said to Bai Ye and Guoba, "Let's continue our journey."

Having said that, the dragon flew again, heading down to the Mt. Hulao and north of the Nantianmen.

At the Mt. Hulao,

A gigantic ancient tree reached for the sky and blocked out the sun. As it fell, Zhongli transformed into human form and grabbed Bai Ye and Guoba with both hands.

"Is this where Azhdaha is?"

Looking at the seal under the ancient tree, Guoba could clearly tell that it was Zhongli's work.

"Yes, this is the place where I personally sealed Azhdaha." Zhongli Liqi walked to the seal and reached out to break it.

"The memory of a rock is very easy to fade with time. After the Archon War and the Guizhong old friend, his power was extinguished, and he gradually became crazy and irritable. In the end, I had no choice but to seal him away. Next, we may have to face him in a state of Erosion."

Guizhong appeared at this moment, somewhat surprised, and said, "Huh? Does that mean we're going to have to fight him next? That's the Elemental Dragon King, Morax. It all depends on you."

Azhdaha's strength is comparable to yours. What if he accidentally hurts my Little Bai Ye when we fight?

You're tough and fearless, but my Little Bai Ye isn't.

"Of course I won't let anything happen to Bai Ye."

Zhongli made a Guizhong Zhong.

As he said this, he pressed his palm against the seal, and then the seal disappeared, and a series of talismans became completely transparent.

After turning completely transparent, a fierce gust of wind arose, and Bai Ye and the others were involuntarily thrown inside.

"Qiu."

Zhongli said this, and then let the gale carry him inside.

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Bai Ye and Guoba also gave up resisting and allowed their bodies to enter the seal that sealed the Dragon King Azhdaha.

As he floated into the seal, before Bai Ye could even react, a huge ripple suddenly appeared on the ground.

Is this an earthquake?

Bai Ye thought to himself.

Despite thinking this, Bai Ye's movements did not slow down at all. A pair of Anemo Element wings instantly appeared on his back, and he entered the air.

Only then did he realize that the Dragon King Azhdaha was currently sealed away.

I couldn't help but gasp.

"This is so different from what we see in the game."

In the game, that chubby guy was probably smaller than a real-world dinosaur, but now, judging from the appearance, the Dragon King Azhdaha inside the seal is probably nearly a hundred meters long. And its width is also several tens of meters.

Bai Ye and the others were like ants in his presence.

Of course, that wasn't the most terrifying thing. He had seen such enormous beasts before, and dealing with them wasn't even that difficult. But the dense Geo element surrounding the Dragon King Azhdaha made him feel suffocated.

Although both Thunderbird and he are elemental beings, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

This is the new Dragon King.

Even though he is currently sealed, Bai Ye is aware of one thing.

I am no match for him.

"Morax, you've finally arrived. I will settle this thousand-year-old grudge today."

Dragon King Azhdaha sensed Zhongli's aura and immediately shouted loudly.

Guoba then shouted loudly at Dragon King Azhdaha, "Azhdaha, wake up!"

"Yes, what are you doing?"

At this moment, Guizhong also shouted to Azhdaha beside Bai Ye.

Upon hearing Guoba and Guizhong's words, Azhdaha hesitated slightly, his head shaking repeatedly.

Just when Bai Ye and the others thought that the battle would not start because of the appearance of Guoba and Guizhong, Dragon King Azhdaha raised his head again and emitted a sound wave that was even bigger than before.

Zhongli pulled up the Guoba and his hand flew into the air.

Dragon King Azhdaha looked at everyone present with a resentful gaze.

"Impossible, they couldn't possibly be here."

"Morax, after all these years, you've actually learned to lie! Hahaha, you god, don't change from God of Contracts to God of Deception!"

"Hahaha..."

His loud laughter made Bai Ye feel like he was going to go deaf.

"That guy! He didn't even listen to what I was saying."

Guizhong put his hands on his hips, somewhat annoyed.

Then, she turned to look at Zhong Zhongli, who was standing to the side.

What exactly is going on here?

Zhongli examined him for a moment and replied to Guizhong, "As time goes by, Azhdaha's reason has Erosion and evil thoughts have arisen. Now he is probably completely affected by evil thoughts."

"Is he unable to turn back?"

Guoba asked Zhongli.

Zhongli carefully observed the Dragon King Azhdaha and said, "Hmm... no, even within his evil thoughts, good thoughts still arise. We still have a chance."

Bai Ye understood somewhat.

Although the blue-haired little girl from the original game did not appear, nor did she possess the character, she still possesses both good and evil thoughts.

Guizhong: "Then what do we need to do?"

"Give him a beating first."

Zhongli said briefly.

"That's easy."

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Bai Ye and Guizhong immediately began to rub their hands together in anticipation.

You should have said you wanted to fight earlier; that would have been easy.

Zhongli said, "Well, Bai Ye, go and let Azhdaha rest."

"Hmm." Bai Ye nodded, and just as he was about to get down, he realized something was wrong.

"Wait, could you say that again?"

Are you telling me to deal with Azhdaha myself?

Although I possess the powers of Gods god, it would be difficult enough for me to deal with other gods from various countries, let alone this is Azhdaha. Even in his prime, old man, you couldn't guarantee a victory against him.

Are you planning to make your paternal grandmother a widow?

Wait, how did I get caught up in Hu Tao's scheme?

Never mind, this isn't the right time.

Zhongli looked at Bai Ye, who was anxious, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will protect you from the side."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and a ring of Geo element shield appeared around Bai Ye.

Feeling the thick protective shield, Bai Ye was no longer worried.

"This sense of security is truly overwhelming."

Guizhong quickly said to Bai Ye, "Don't be so happy yet. You have Zhongli's powers, so you need to learn his tricks quickly. Then, no matter who you're with, you won't have to worry about them getting hurt."

"Mhm."

Bai Ye nodded quickly.

It's likely that Zhongli had this plan in mind before she even came in.

The best way to perceive the use of Zhongli's shield is during battle.

If fighting against others, he probably wouldn't even be able to break through Zhongli's shield. Only when facing a strong enemy can Zhongli's Jade Shield exert its maximum effect, allowing Bai Ye to see the full extent of the damage.

Bai Ye landed on the ground, Dragon King Azhdaha looked at him and couldn't help but mock, "Morax, are you afraid to even fight a person now? You actually sent an ant to die."

"Azhdaha, you bastard, who are you calling an ant?!"

Upon hearing what the Dragon King Azhdaha said, Guizhong immediately became anxious.

She pointed at Azhdaha and cursed, "You wait, once I recover, I'll definitely beat you up again."

Bai Ye wasn't angry. He picked up the Heavenly Principles' Sword, pointed it at Azhdaha, and shouted, "If you want to fight Mr. Morax, you'll have to get past me, this junior, first."

"Snort!"

This time, the Dragon King Azhdaha said nothing, opened his mouth, and a huge gust of wind burst forth.

Seeing Bai Ye, Bai Ye swung his longsword, and a fierce Anemo Element appeared, the tip of the sword aimed at the gale spewed out by the Dragon King Azhdaha.

Two gusts of wind intertwined, and a pair of mechanical arms appeared behind Bai Ye, with huge long swords on the arms.

At this moment, Bai Ye discovered that the Zhongli Jade Shield had given him had extended, protecting the mechanical arm as well. Bai Ye quickly used his analytical abilities to see how the shield had extended.

He planted his feet on the ground, gripped his sword, and charged forward.

At this moment Dragon King Azhdaha began to release Geo element, continuously smashing it towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye began to carefully observe the Geo element falling on the Jade Shield, and saw ripples appearing on the shield.

"Yes, constructing a shield like this, distributing the force of the attack evenly across the entire shield, will allow the shield to withstand a greater amount of attack..."

Zhongli watched the Bai Ye Shield about to disappear, he silently released another one.

"This will allow for a perfect transition..."

Bai Ye stood firm, enduring the attacks of the Dragon King Azhdaha Tuo.

Dragon King Azhdaha watched helplessly as his attacks on the root of the dragon were ineffective.

"Morax!!!!!!!!!!"

The Dragon King Azhdaha roared.

He was furious.

This little guy is looking at me from here, protected by a shield.

That's so humiliating.

He wouldn't care if Morax himself did it, but now he's being insulted by a mere pawn.

Seeing Dragon King Azhdaha's anger, and noticing that he had almost finished researching the shield, Bai Ye quickly prepared to unleash his attack.

We're supposed to be friends from now on, so to humiliate someone like this, even if it's just out of malice, is going too far.

Anemo Element appeared around Bai Ye, and lightning struck from the sky. Geo element not belonging to Dragon King Azhdaha began to converge into a vortex on the ground, and the power and authority on the mechanical arm were adjusted to the maximum.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Bai Ye roared angrily.

Geo element erupted beneath Azhdaha, using the power of a vortex to sweep away the Geo element belonging to Azhdaha. Lightning descended from the sky, bolts of lightning striking Azhdaha's back. Bai Ye then unleashed Anemo Element, gripping his sword and slashing at Dragon King Azhdaha.

During this process, Dragon King Azhdaha was about to move, Zhongli released several more pillars to block him.

Bai Ye used the Anemo Element to pass through Azhdaha's body.

"This attack should be enough to hurt even Azhdaha."

After passing through, Bai Ye thought to himself.

As for killing the Dragon King Azhdaha, he didn't have that kind of ambition.

Thinking this, Bai Ye turned his head to check on Dragon King Azhdaha's condition.

However, just as he turned his head, he saw a black aura pass directly through Bai Ye's body.

"Um!?"

Bai Ye was momentarily stunned.

At that moment, he noticed a voice in his ear.

"I'll let you taste my hatred too."

Then, shifting his gaze, he found himself inside his own consciousness space.

In front of her was a little blue-haired girl.

I have no idea what the Dragon King Azhdaha Ruoduo likes, that he would create this body from his evil thoughts.
