PFC Chapter 336 As expected of Wendy!
Chapter 336 As expected of Wendy!
"What a vat of wine!"
With Paimon's sudden outburst, Ying and Huiyuan were both speechless.
Wendy, that guy, even brought someone a drink when they were seriously injured, is a good friend!
Reluctantly accepting the wine jar, Huiyuan remarked, "I just hope that when he handed the wine jar to Zhongli, it wasn't kicked away."
"Haha...I didn't kick him, but I did hit him."
As she spoke, Zhongli slowly looked away, both amused and exasperated.
Upon learning that Zhongli and Wendy had actually gotten into a fight, Huiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, her gossip-loving spirit ignited.
This is like what? Two close brothers playing pranks on each other, how fun is that!
"Hey, a real fight broke out? How's it going? Let me savor this juicy gossip."
"I didn't really fight him. I just sent him back to Mondstadt... by javelin."
The javelin thrower, meaning Zhongli picked up Wendy and threw her away?
(This is so much fun! I'll try it next time I meet Wendy.)
Paimon laughed when he heard that Wendy had been sent back by Zhongli in this way.
"Excellent! Well done, Zhongli!"
Ying burst into laughter, "Haha—you're really something!"
Seeing everyone laugh, Zhongli shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "Not at all, it was just that I couldn't help myself. By the way, does anyone have anything planned for tonight? The country is peaceful and prosperous lately, and the Rebirth Hall is quite quiet. How about we take a walk together?"
Huiyuan put the wine jar into the Eye of God space and nodded.
"Okay, okay, I've just recovered, so I'll treat this as rehabilitation training."
The group set off on a whim, just like aimless children; as long as they were together, it didn't matter where their destination was.
After passing through the commercial street, the small pavilion, and climbing the small hill, you arrive at the outskirts of Liyue Harbor, on the old-fashioned turret of the [Tianheng Ancient City Wall].
Looking at the returning machine, Paimon was immediately flooded with memories.
"I remember we came here to help Qiqi find the coconut sheep."
Ying nodded in agreement, "Yes, it took a lot of effort to repair the Return to the End Machine back then. I remember... when the Treasure Thieves came to sabotage the Return to the End Machine, Zhongli was furious. Thinking back now, that was the only time Zhongli ever got angry in front of me."
Upon hearing this, Zhongli paused for a moment, then laughed.
"The more experiences you have, the less likely you are to get angry... That time I was angry for many reasons, one of which was their desecration of the immortals' creations."
"Hmm, are there any other reasons?"
Upon hearing Zhongli say this, Paimon asked curiously.
After Paimon raised the question, Zhongli fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Huiyuan explained for him, "The 'Return to the End Mechanism' was created by True Lord Liuyun. Its predecessor was called the 'Shadow Fox Mechanism,' an invention of Return to the End. Let me tell you, Return to the End is quite something. Before the Demon God War even began, he submitted his covenant by exchanging tokens of love. Back then, the Emperor wasn't yet old Chen, and this kind of romantic affair... hmph~ he was completely caught off guard."
"Ahem... Young friend, where did you get this information? Don't speak carelessly."
“Look, Zhongli’s eyes are full of the embarrassment of making mistakes when he was young. Am I right?”
Seeing Paimon's expression as he tried so hard to hide his embarrassment, Paimon burst out laughing.
"Haha, I never expected Zhongli to have this side to her."
After everyone laughed for a while, Zhongli also started laughing.
"Haha, that's true. Back then, I was kind of young and impetuous. Yuanbao, did Gui Zhong tell you about these past events?"
"Hmm... yes and no."
“Then I’ll take that as true. The biggest difference between humans and gods is the difference in strength… In her eyes, I’m just a stone man with superhuman strength and an easy temper… Sigh, looking at it now, my understanding of humanity is still inferior to hers.”
Humans are born with seven emotions and six desires, while gods are born with supreme power.
In essence, both humans and gods are living beings.
For a person to become stronger, it requires abandoning some desires or emotions.
For gods, who are born strong, the process of growing up like mortals is skipped, and the difference is that they have less emotional experience.
Do demons also experience love?
Would a demon god ever consider having offspring?
The answer is yes.
So, how will a demon god, who lacks experience in relationships, go through the process of falling in love?
There is only one answer: imitate humans, and that's exactly what they did in the end.
Unfortunately, the stone man was only focused on building a nation and hadn't considered his own reproductive capabilities at all.
Like a mushroom demon, it gave birth to a whole bunch of children...
If Zhongli were to give birth to a bunch of stone men, all of whom would inherit the bloodline of the God of War, wouldn't they be invincible throughout the world?
Looking at Zhongli, who was feigning profundity, Huiyuan asked, "Speaking of returning to the end... Zhongli, you are a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth. If I casually resurrect people like this, breaking the order of Yin and Yang, will Hall Master Hu have any objections?"
Upon hearing Huiyuan's question, Zhongli began to ponder.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"...The dead cannot be brought back to life. Whether gods or mortals, everyone is born once and dies once. This is the law. One is born at the moment of birth and dies at the moment of death. Master Hu may be amazed by your abilities."
"Just shock? I have a feeling she'll yell at me like this: 'Life is only once, it has always been so. You can just bring people back to life, so what about the grief of those who have died?'"
"Haha... Based on the sect leader's experience, she would indeed be confused for a while. Don't worry, she won't get angry and make a scene like that. You resurrect people, isn't it to redeem those already formed sorrows?"
"But what if?"
"...You have transcended the 'reason' and can grant a second life. Whether this is correct is another matter. After all, the resurrection of the dead is not common; even the example of Qi Qi cannot be counted. Master Hu may doubt his own path because of you, but people are not static, are they?"
"I...I'm still a little uneasy. Being disliked by someone like Hu Tao makes me feel nauseous."
"Let's leave these matters for later. At least I think the Hall Master will accept your existence. Everyone has emotions and desires. Even Hall Master Hu herself would yearn to see the dead again, but she would keep it to herself, afraid to even think about it. After all, before you came along, it was all impossible..."
"...Okay, I'll think about it later."
Seeing the worry written all over Huiyuan's face, Paimon chuckled to himself and whispered something to Ying.
“Yuanbao usually doesn’t seem afraid of socializing, but secretly she’s often very cautious.”
Ying nodded and said, "He seems like an otaku..."
"Otaku...?"
"They're the kind of people who don't like going out. On the surface, they have no interest in socializing, but they're actually very sensitive to all sorts of things. For example, if a breakfast shop owner talks to them, they won't dare to buy breakfast from that shop for ten or twenty days. This kind of thing happens often."
