"Despicable?"
"Despicable."
The next second, Elysia widened her eyes as she watched Levi pick up the pills and put them into his mouth.
And he put two in at once.
"Here."
Looking at the pills in the palm extended toward her, Elysia hesitated for a moment before finally picking them up, slowly putting them into her mouth and swallowing.
Gulp!
A crisp swallowing sound rang out, and Elysia noticed the strange look in Levi's eyes across from her.
"W-what's wrong?"
Pop!
Right in front of Elysia, Levi blew a colorful bubble.
Chew, chew, chew...
"This thing is bubble gum."
Chew, chew, chew...
"I gave it to you to eat, and you swallowed it."
"Bubble gum?"
Elysia's expression also became quite interesting. "You gave bubble gum to Hen and Blanca, then locked them in the same room. What were you planning to do?"
"Watch them blow bubbles!" Levi answered with complete confidence. "What else could I do?"
"Nothing." Elysia's expression changed several times before finally settling into complete calm. She said in a flat voice, "I was the one thinking too lowly."
She held out her hand.
"Give me two more."
"I'm out."
"You clearly still have some!"
After the scuffle ended, Levi asked Lumine in the group chat about the subsequent developments in Liyue. He learned that all the adepti had changed their story and said they had mistaken the person, and that the "Little Geo Archon" was not Zhongli.
Zhongli was also able to escape the matter of inheriting his own position and becoming his own son.
However, even though the plot had been twisted beyond recognition, Zhongli was still working hard.
It was obvious that the old man was determined to retire.
As for this, Levi had no intention of continuing to force him.
"I thought our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was going to get a god, but in the end, I got excited for nothing."
Hu Tao listlessly wiped her black polearm.
As usual, Zhongli sat at the stone table and sipped his tea.
"Tell me, do even immortals have times when they misjudge things?"
"Immortals are people too. As long as one is human, there will be times when they misjudge things."
Hearing this, Hu Tao blinked. "Makes sense!"
"Sigh! The Director suddenly thought of something. Since immortals are people too, doesn't that mean people can become immortals?"
Zhongli froze.
'Wasn't she just talking about misjudging things?'
'How did it suddenly become a discussion about whether people could become immortals?'
After thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly. "It is indeed possible."
Hu Tao's eyes lit up, then slowly returned to normal. "Forget it. The Director still prefers being human."
Living for several hundred or even a thousand years first would be so boring that she'd die of boredom.
"Right." Hu Tao placed the cleaned polearm on the rack and pointed at the two people from Lumine's group who were frantically eating in the distance. "Why did you bring those two to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"
The moment she saw the two of them, she remembered how she'd been busy for half a day, not only failing to earn any Mora but losing Mora instead.
It was too upsetting.
"She is the person I hired to conduct the Rite of Parting."
Zhongli replied, "She should be staying at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for this period of time, and won't be going anywhere."
'Mm, not going anywhere.'
Hu Tao stared with dead-fish eyes at the two people from Lumine's group.
In other words, she hadn't made any money from the two of them, had even paid money out of her own pocket, and now she still had to pay them...
Tsk~ The more she thought about it, the sadder she became.
"How about burying them?"
———
Back on the Xianzhou Luofu, Qingque was nowhere to be seen in the room.
Levi pushed open the door into the sunlight, only for a weak little fist to slam into his chest.
It almost gave him internal injuries.
"Sorry about that."
Guinaifen clasped her hands together and bent at a ninety-degree angle to express her apology.
Levi had originally planned to extort her a little, but when he saw the anxious expression on her face, he put those thoughts away.
"Something happened to Stelle!", Guinaifen spoke extremely quickly.
Hearing that something had happened to Stelle, Levi first thought of March 7th. The corner of his mouth lifted as he asked, "Did March 7th beat her up?"
"No."
The corner of his mouth immediately turned downward.
So it wasn't March 7th beating her up.
He had gotten excited for nothing.
He deleted the message he had planned to send to the group chat to give everyone a laugh, then stood there quietly and waited for Guinaifen to sort out what she wanted to say.
"Stelle was possessed by that thing last night! I heard she said you're her master, so I came to find you and see if you have any way to solve it."
That guy had signed a contract with him.
If something happened to her while she was with him, it would be troublesome to deal with, and he might even have to pay a huge amount of credits.
So if it could be solved, it had to be solved as soon as possible.
"Where is my beloved disciple now?"
Levi tightened his face, looking like a master who would definitely help when something happened to his disciple.
But once they arrived, Levi immediately changed his attitude and openly mocked the possessed Stelle.
"What are you laughing at?"
Levi's expression stiffened.
"And you're laughing so unpleasantly, too. If I were you, I'd kill myself as soon as possible so I wouldn't pollute the air around me."
Stelle looked at Levi with an innocent little gaze.
Because she was in a state of being possessed by a heliobus, it was difficult for Levi to tell whether these words came from her or from the heliobus possessing her.
Levi narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashing through them.
"When did a rat hiding inside someone else's body become qualified to speak?"
Without any mental abilities, Levi could only verbally berate the heliobus inside Stelle, but could not cause her any actual harm.
"Heh heh, a rat? Have you already forgotten the time when you Xianzhou people trembled beneath our feet?"
"You mean that guy on the Xianzhou Zhuming who was used as an energy source?"
As if he had not hit the sore spot, the words coming from 'Stelle' grew harsher and harsher, and her expression became more and more savage.
Levi, on the other hand, was completely relaxed.
He kept repeating words like "yes, yes, yes," "you're right," and "you're completely right."
"Is that all you can do, repeat those words?!"
It was getting desperate.
Levi picked at his fingernails, cleaning out the dirt inside them, then flicked the dirt he had cleaned out toward 'Stelle'.
Looking completely unconcerned, he said, "So what? If you have the guts, come out and hit me."
'So annoying.'
Guinaifen and March 7th, who were watching from the side, had the same thought.
'How could he be this annoying and still grow up like this?'
"Because I drank San-Nai milk powder, I mutated into something invulnerable."
"..."
As if she had seen through Levi's plan, 'Stelle' stopped arguing and insulting him and gave two cold laughs. "Looks like this is your plan."
He wanted to provoke her into losing her temper so she would leave this body.
But...
"You think this level alone is enough to make me give up this body and come out?"
'Don't make me laugh!'
'That was impossible!'
"Plan?" Levi scratched his head in confusion. "I simply wanted to annoy you. What plan?"
He'd have to be an idiot to think he could make a heliobus leave its host just through words.
So he simply wanted to annoy her.
Judging from her earlier performance, he had annoyed her quite badly.
Seeing that the other party had been silenced by him, Levi turned around and looked at the two people behind him. "Why didn't you find the Ten-Lords Commission?"
Normally speaking, not long after Stelle was possessed, Huohuo should have already stuck a talisman on her.
How was it that almost an entire day had passed, yet that heliobus was still in control?
March 7th turned her head toward Guinaifen, and Guinaifen smiled awkwardly.
"I forgot..."
"..."
