Did Something Go Wrong With Playing the Hunt Aeon for the People of Liyue?

Yes! Huang Mao returned unharmed, and all the Adepti had arrived.

But look how messed this has become.

Ningguang felt like her heart was about to stop beating.

If things weren't so bad right now, she would have already decided to retire.

She could already foresee how much trouble she would encounter when she tried to find these Adepti again in the future.

"Hey, don't be so angry. I did bring some gifts with me."

"Look, there's one Fatui's Harbinger, plus a whole bunch of Fatui."

Seeing that Ningguang's eyes were not right, Mo Wang pointed directly to the large group of Fatui behind him and said.

Ningguang was even more confused now.

"Did you wipe out the Fatui' lair? How come there are so many?!"

Ningguang stared at this, completely stunned.

"It's nothing, we just happened to run into them on the road and brought them back."

"How about that? Is this enough people?"

Ningguang's complexion had improved slightly at this moment.

She had been worried that this Fatui's Harbinger, whose whereabouts were unknown, might cause trouble in some unknown place.

Unexpectedly, Mo Wang actually caught him.

This is one of the few pieces of good news she's had in recent days.

"Hey Ningguang, look, I've almost finished this mission. I've also had someone notify the Great Demon-Subduing Saint. When are you going to pay my salary?"

Mo Wang's current appearance is almost like he's possessed by a cabbage head.

Ningguang looked at Mo Wang and instantly revealed a kind expression.

"Well, no rush. We've prepared the final payment for you, but we have another request right now..."

"No way! I'd rather die than go!"

However, before Ningguang could finish speaking, Mo Wang immediately started shaking his head.

"This..." Ningguang didn't expect that Mo Wang would refuse so directly, without even the slightest hesitation.

"The price is negotiable. You mentioned before that the price of the Archon is one hundred million Mora. If you can really deal with the Archon that appeared in Guyun Stone Forest, we will definitely hand over the money to you."

Upon hearing that Ningguang was actually going to pay Mo Wang a huge sum of 100 million, everyone around was stunned.

That's 100 million Mora!

Even for Liyue, this is not a small amount.

The fact that Ningguang actually intends to pay Mo Wang this money shows that Liyue has reached a point where it has no choice but to do so.

"Archon is actually worth a hundred million? Tsk, something doesn't sound right."

Hearing this, the Mountain Shaper felt truly uneasy.

He was already quite unhappy when he heard that he would only get three million Mora after being beaten up.

In other words, Zhongli felt a little better when he said that he only received 100,000 Mora for each transaction.

After all, the Emperor's intervention only costs 100,000, while being beaten up costs 3 million Mora. Doesn't that mean that being beaten up is worth 30 times the Emperor's intervention?

But now that he knows the Archon is worth 100 million, he suddenly becomes unhappy again.

This is similar to the frustration of finding out in One Piece that an old rival has a bounty that is more than ten times higher than yours.

Why? These guys were clearly defeated by us back then, so why is the price so high?

So you're really that far from being Archon?

"No way, not even for a hundred million!"

However, Mo Wang refused again without even thinking.

"Why?"

Ningguang was even more puzzled now.

I've already offered such a high price, why won't Mo Wang agree?

Mo Wang curled his lip, "Isn't that obvious?"

The price for killing the Abyssal Lord is not the same as the price for killing Aha.

One hundred million is the price of Archon! This Aeon, even if it's just an avatar, should be worth at least five hundred million, right? This Aha is his closest Aeon.

We'll have to pay more first.

Well, actually, even with extra money, Mo Wang isn't really keen on doing it.

After all, looking for Aha is one Aha, but now that guy Aha has directly revealed his name, it's obvious there's something fishy going on.

Just how stubborn must Mo Wang Wangtou be to actively seek out trouble with a the Nihility Star God who has already set a trap?

I'm not Batman, that weirdo who feels uncomfortable if he doesn't beat up the Clown every day.

"Really not even a little bit?"

"No, unless you want to pay extra, that's another story."

"So how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Well, to deal with that guy, we'll need at least four small targets, no, ten small targets."

Upon hearing Mo Wang's words, Ningguang's expression turned somewhat strange.

You can pretty much tell from Mo Wang's current attitude.

Previously, when Mo Wang mentioned the Archon, his attitude was quite disdainful.

However, when this person was mentioned, a sense of apprehension was subtly revealed.

"Your Majesty, did we ever deal with a Archon named Elation back then?"

At this moment, the Adepti also began to discuss the Archon that appeared in Guyun Stone Forest.

Although they encountered quite a few Archon back then, most of Archon were named and had a history.

Even after all these years, they still remember the names of their old rivals perfectly.

But they couldn't recall ever having such an opponent.

There is no Archon called Elation.

"If all of this is true, I'm afraid..."

At this moment, Zhongli looked at Mo Wang and suddenly understood something.

"So, that's what he was afraid of?"

Zhongli nodded, having already made up his mind.

Chapter 378: Playing "The Hunt" for the Liyue People - Did the Aeon Make a Mistake?

Upon hearing that Mo Wang had directly set the price at 1.1 billion, Ning Ningguang's expression became extremely hesitant.

Even if Mo Wang were to sell Ningguang now, she still wouldn't be able to come up with 1.1 billion Mora.

While it's true that Liyue is wealthy, that doesn't mean they can't spend Mora Liyue.

Even if it could be taken out, it would be a major and painful process.

"Is there really no other way?" Ningguang stared at Mo Wang, her eyes revealing an indescribable weariness.

"Well, actually, it doesn't have to be that expensive. Just give me a token amount, like 500 million... that's fine too." Mo Wang gritted his teeth and finally said a number.

"Five hundred million..." Ningguang pondered. Although Mo Wang had reduced the amount by more than half, the amount was still staggering.

While Ningguang hesitated, Mimi appeared behind Mo Wang, looking at him with a worried expression.

"What's Mimi?"

Seeing Mimi's hesitant expression, Mo Wang couldn't help but laugh.

To be honest, this was the first time he had ever seen Mimi so terrified.

"Partner, you, you really intend to go after Aha? That's a Aeon!"

"Even if it were you, you might die if you went to deal with that person!"

Mimi big, watery eyes gazed at Mo Wang, her little hands clinging tightly to Mo Wang trouser leg.

It seems that only in this way can Mo Wang be stopped from going to Aha.

Seeing the Mimi look on Mo Wang's face, he was momentarily confused, then he understood what was going on.

Clearly, Mimi's expression is likely due to her access to her own Remembrance and her clear understanding of just how terrifying the Aeon is, hence the worried look in her eyes.

"Is that guy named Aha the real name of the Joyful Archon? Is she really that powerful? How did she scare Mimi like this?"

"Wait, do you guys know that guy named Aha?"

When Paimon saw Mimi's frightened expression, he wanted to come over and comfort her.

But at that moment, Paimon suddenly realized the message in their conversation.

Upon hearing Paimon's words, the others also realized the problem and looked at Mo Wang.

"That's not some so-called Archon! That's a Aeon! You know what Aeon is? The super terrifying kind!"

"And that one is super dangerous Aha!"

"If my partner goes there, he will definitely be in danger!"

At this moment, Mimi grabbed Paimon's collar and said in a sad tone.

"Wait, wait a minute! Just wait a minute! What exactly is this so-called Aeon? I've never heard of it before!"

Paimon was being pulled so Mimi that he could barely breathe.

Mo Wang, somewhat speechless, said to Mimi, "Mimi, is this really necessary? No matter what, I'm Aha's Emanator. He wouldn't kill me, would he?"

"Absolutely! Have you forgotten how the last Aha's Emanator died?!"

Mo Wang was completely speechless after being yelled at by Mimi.

At that moment, he remembered his senior and was immediately unable to refute him.

Aha has a criminal record.

"Mr. Mo Wang, it seems you do indeed know about the so-called the Joyful Archon. Could you tell us about her?"

Ningguang now understood that the reason Mo Wang was so resistant to this mission was probably because the opponent was simply too terrifying.

To be fair, Ningguang considered herself to be a well-read person in Liyue, but she had never heard of such a Archon god.

Therefore, this Archon is probably not the being they know.

"Mo Wang, please explain? What exactly is Aeon?"

Paimon then grabbed Mo Wang, looking like a curious child, and asked Mo Wang a question.

"Sigh~ What on earth is going on?"

"Alright, let's just consider this information a free gift."

Mo Wang somewhat helpless, and then slowly began to speak.

"The so-called Aeon are different from the native Archon that you Teyvat have created. They are terrifying beings that exist in the starry sky."

"Don't ask me how it came to be, but in short, it's incredibly powerful. And it transcends life and death and cause and effect."

"They can even specifically represent a certain concept: destiny is eternal, and the Aeon is immortal."

"In the universe, there are many Aeon. And Aha is the Aeon who represents the destiny of [Elation]."

"Oh! I get it. Simply put, it's like Archon existing in the starry sky, right? That sounds really powerful."

Paimon listened to Mo Wang's explanation, he immediately incorporated the so-called Aeon into his own understanding.

"Well, what you put it that way isn't entirely wrong, but the concepts of Aeon and Archon are completely different."

"Some of them are machines, some are just stones, and some are even unknown whether they are living beings. There are even humans among them."
