Chapter 239: Past Events (Rebellion)
"Oh, Chen Yue, you are so rude." Hu Zhaigong covered his mouth and laughed so hard that his body shook. "I heard you say that the Wind God of Mondstadt is a god who does not do his job properly. Every time he comes to Liyue Harbor, he comes to eat and drink for free. I have never seen him do anything serious."
Wendy showed an innocent expression on her face. "Oh, how can you say that to me? I came here to spread Mondstadt's culture. Besides, I respect the old man very much, but he is too solemn and I don't dare to approach him."
"Are you sure you're not afraid to meet him because you were slapped back to Mond last time after you poured wine on his head?"
Grabbing Wendy's ear in annoyance, Chen Yue put his mouth next to her ear.
"Can't you see I'm busy? I don't have time to deal with you. Go wherever you want."
After taking a look at Shin and Kitsunayagiya, Wendy let out a smile: "Oh my, this is really unexpected! You have such a big mouth that you dare to be so disrespectful to Inazuma's Thunder God."
Hearing this, Chen Yue glared at Wendy fiercely, then let go of her hand, turned around and continued chatting with Zhen and Huzaigong, as if what had just happened was just a small episode.
Wendy pouted in dissatisfaction and couldn't help sighing in her heart: This year's Lantern Festival is so boring!
No one knew where the old man Dijun had gone. He neither accompanied him to drink to relieve his boredom nor supported him at the critical moment. And Chen Yue, the guy who forgot his loyalty for the sake of beauty, was even worse. He only cared about chatting with the two beauties and completely left him aside.
Humph! In that case, I should go back to Mondstadt. At least there is good wine there, which can help me forget these troubles for a while.
"Oh, by the way, let me guess, you probably didn't have enough dinner today."
Zhen blinked and showed a slightly surprised expression: "Huh? How did you know?"
Chen Yue smiled smugly and explained, "What's so hard about this? The first time I ate at the same table with the Emperor, I was even more nervous than you! At the time, I was trembling with fear and didn't even dare to breathe."
I was really curious and asked, "What happened next? Did anything happen?"
Chen Yue took a deep breath and recalled the scene at that time: "Well... my hand holding the teacup was shaking all the time, and I accidentally broke the teacup."
Zhen was so absorbed in listening that he could not wait to ask, "And then? Did Morax blame you?"
Chen Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head: "And then? Then the Emperor looked at me, and I was so scared that I buried my head in the bowl and didn't dare to raise my head again."
At this point, Chen Yue couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "Ah, how embarrassing! But fortunately, these years have passed, and I have gradually adapted to the way of getting along with the Emperor."
"Actually, Old Deng isn't that scary. He was just more serious when he was young. Now that he's older, he's just like an old man taking a stroll. So don't worry too much. Just relax."
After listening to Chen Yue's words, Zhen's tension eased a little. She nodded and followed Chen Yue out of the teahouse.
As night fell, the streets of Liyue were brightly lit and bustling. The three of them shuttled through the crowd, looking for a suitable restaurant.
"Jo, what do you think Morax is doing right now?"
"Well... he should probably be wandering around in some corner of Liyue. He usually wanders around the mortal world under the name 'Zhongli', so as long as you stay in Liyue Harbor for a long time, you can basically see him." Chen Yue smiled helplessly and spoke.
In Teyvat, the other five gods except Venti were somewhat in awe of Morax. After all, Morax was the oldest god in the world! During the Demon War, he encountered the most demons.
Otherwise, why would the Seven Gods Gathering be held in Liyue? Isn't it because everyone wants to pay a proper visit to this old senior?
"It's really quite relaxing..." Husaigong muttered to himself, "No wonder you asked Zhen to leave most of the things to the people. So you learned it here."
The three of them chatted while walking and stopping along the way, and finally found a restaurant that looked good.
The sign outside the store is simple and elegant, with the store name written in large golden letters. The interior decoration is elegant yet modern, with exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, tables and chairs neatly arranged, and the floor clean and tidy.
The guests were either talking in low voices or laughing heartily, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Through the windows, one could see the bustling streets with people coming and going.
“Let’s go with this one, it looks pretty good.” Chen Yue walked into the store first, scanned the store, and finally his eyes fell on a private room that didn’t look cheap.
He walked in quickly, pulled out a chair and sat down. Zhen and Husaigong followed closely behind him and also found a seat and sat down.
The waiter came up to them warmly with a bright smile on his face and handed them the menu with both hands: "Three guests, please take a look at our special dishes." Chen Yue took the menu and flipped through it casually. After the waiter wrote it down, he quickly left and went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
While waiting for the food to be served, the three continued to chat about Morax.
"Actually, I've always been curious about what kind of person Morax is?" Zhen asked curiously.
"I've told you many times, it's just Lao Deng. However, he is indeed a very responsible god. The people of Liyue respect him very much because he always tries his best to protect this land and its people."
"Hey, Yixuan, you call him Emperor in front of him and Old Deng behind his back. Does old man Morax know about this?" Covering his mouth and laughing, Hu Zhaigong really wanted to see how Chen Yue would look when he was caught.
"Although he didn't know, he had a rough idea. After all, among all the immortals, I was the most rebellious and special. After a long time, he didn't want to care about anything. So he just left it alone. As long as I didn't violate the principles, he basically didn't care about me."
Chen Yue shook his head. Morax was too lazy to care about this issue.
Besides, Chen Yue's strength is here. Although he is not that strong, he has a lot of room for growth. For a person with a lot of room for growth, these small problems seem insignificant.
Just as the three were chatting happily, the door of the room was opened and a strong aroma of wine wafted in from the crack of the door.
"Hey, Yixuan, I have to say you have saved quite a lot of good stuff!"
