Rock King Empress?

Paimon and the Traveler left with the Dust Cleansing Bell, their heads still a bit fuzzy.

"Three bowls, no more, no less."

The former's small hands unconsciously fiddled with the tassel of the Dust Cleansing Bell.

The Traveler, meanwhile, frowned slightly, tapping Paimon's head with their fingers.

Is this quest a little too simple?

Granny Ping, who looked like a fairy, seemed to have known they would borrow the Dust Cleansing Bell.

The blonde girl and Paimon exchanged a look, shrugging in confusion.

Those watching the Sky Screen twitched the corners of their eyes.

Is this what the Emperor Lord's "instructions" were?

"Traveler, little Paimon, the Emperor Lord is toying with you!!"

Unfortunately, the Traveler and Paimon in the Sky Screen couldn't hear their words.

The Sky Screen flowed, frames of images flashing by.

The image finally settled on the Golden House.

During this process, the beings watching the Sky Screen "saw" Liyue's Ying'er Che...

Those words, like wolves and tigers, were truly enough to make one blush and unable to look directly.

What puzzled them was that Morax was so knowledgeable about women's perfumes!

His focused expression was as if he were appraising a rare treasure.

"The Geo Archon becomes myriad, experiencing all walks of life. He couldn't have transformed into a beautiful older sister, could he?"

Paimon floated in the air, hands on her hips, and asked Zhongli as if joking.

Hearing this, Zhongli's hand, holding the teacup, trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his amber pupils. He didn't answer, merely shifting his gaze elsewhere nonchalantly.

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.

"Pfft..."

Tea sprayed from Qian Renxue's mouth, scattering on the floor.

Qian Renxue's shoulders twitched incessantly as she tried to control her expression.

She had undergone professional training and, under normal circumstances, could absolutely control her facial expressions, preventing her true thoughts from showing.

"Hahaha..."

Unable to hold back, Qian Renxue burst into laughter.

"Little Paimon's words have rendered the Emperor Lord silent."

"Silence means assumption..."

"Did the Emperor Lord really turn into an older sister?"

"Geo Archon, Geo Archon Princess... hahaha..."

"No, I can't laugh. What if the Emperor Lord is watching me..."

Qian Renxue muttered, her shoulders still shaking. She found it incredibly difficult to imagine Zhongli as an older sister.

She must... be very beautiful?

Like a fairy...

Shrek Academy.

Ma Hongjun, who was lying on his bed, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard that it aggravated his injuries, causing him to bleed profusely...

"Quick, quick, Ma Hongjun's injuries have worsened!"

"Hurry and invite Ye Lingling from Heaven Dou Royal Academy!!"

Jiang Zhu had just managed to stabilize Ma Hongjun's injuries, but he was just too unreliable. He laughed until he was unrecognizable over a "baseless" guess.

Dai Mubai and Oscar twitched the corners of their eyes, giving Ma Hongjun a helpless look.

Their shoulders were also shaking, but they dared not laugh out loud.

After all, the Emperor Lord was right next door!

Only the fatty, with his carefree nature, could laugh like this!

They glanced up at the sky. It was still clear and sunny, with no signs of turning into a Geo Lance. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Little Paimon in the Sky Screen was innocent. Besides, she was so cute, the Emperor Lord probably wouldn't hold it against her.

After all, she had just called the Emperor Lord a social parasite who liked to freeload to his face...

Even so, isn't she still living just fine?

Little Paimon could joke around, but they didn't dare to.

They could only imagine what the Geo Archon Princess looked like in their hearts.

She must be incredibly cool and handsome, right?

Zhongli looks handsome, and Zhongli looks pretty, there's nothing wrong with that!

New Zhongli Manor.

Ruinous Dragon King looked at Zhongli, his mouth slightly agape, wanting to speak but hesitating.

He didn't know if Morax had ever transformed into a big sister, but he himself had indeed transformed into a little girl before.

Ruinous Dragon King appeared very calm, yet his shoulders twitched twice.

Clearly, his heart was not as calm as his surface suggested.

He also really wanted to see what Zhongli would look like as the Geo Archon Princess...

Zhongli seemed to sense Ruinous Dragon King's gaze, tilted his head slightly, and looked at him.

Seeing that Ruinous Dragon King remained silent, but his shoulders twitched twice, Zhongli narrowed his eyes slightly and ultimately didn't speak.

His slender fingers tapped on the smooth tabletop, proving his inner turmoil.

Some things were fine to discuss privately between brothers.

But wasn't there an outsider here?

Gu Yuena withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhongli. Their eyes met, and a moment of awkwardness ensued.

She was the first to break the awkward silence, asking Zhongli.

"Morax, I'm not curious about your past deeds or the world. I'm here because I have two questions."

Her voice was pleasant, but the end of her words carried a subtle tension.

From this, it was clear that Gu Yuena's mood was not calm at this moment.

"Tell me, if I know, I'll tell you."

Zhongli put down his wine glass, his movements steady and elegant. He didn't refuse Gu Yuena's questions and instead turned serious, his gaze calm as he looked at her.

Hearing this.

Gu Yuena's suspended heart finally settled a little, and at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Zhongli would be unreasonable and attack her directly.

She hadn't expected him to agree so readily.

"I'd like to ask about your views on Soul Beasts."

Gu Yuena looked directly into Zhongli's amber eyes, a hint of urgency flashing in her purple pupils.

"And how do you view the humans in this world?"

Gu Yuena's face remained impassive. As she asked the second question, the peace of mind she had just gained was once again lifted.

His attitude was very important; it could determine many, many things.

She had to plan her next steps based on Zhongli's attitude.

The appearance of the Sky Screen was a good thing for her, as it helped her expel the Asura God power.

But the appearance of the Sky Screen was not entirely a good thing!

If her guess was correct, although Morax was powerful, he was definitely not at his peak before the Sky Screen appeared!

With the boost from several rewards, she didn't know if Morax had returned to his peak, or even surpassed it!

Without the Sky Screen, this powerful being would likely have withered away or turned to dust within at most twenty thousand years.

Dust to dust, earth to earth.

The appearance of the Sky Screen had completely disrupted all her plans.

If Morax sided with humans, the Soul Beast side would never achieve victory!

His strength was too terrifying!

Zhongli crossed his arms in front of his chest, a posture that was slightly defensive and contemplative.

His right hand habitually touched his chin, his eyes distant and thoughtful, he said.

"My views on Soul Beasts?"

Zhongli slowly spoke, his deep voice echoing in the hall.

"My opinion on this matter is not important."

"It has to be traced back to the Dragon God era..."
