Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

With the respectful gaze of the Seven Treasures Hotel owner, Zhongli and Paimon quietly left the Seven Treasures Hotel.

"The Supreme Elder Token..."

"He... he actually used the Supreme Elder Token to charge the bill!"

The Seven Treasures Hotel owner watched the departing backs of Zhongli and Paimon, feeling a mix of emotions.

The Supreme Elder Token indeed had such a function, but he had never heard of any Supreme Elder under his own faction ever charging a bill.

And sending the bill to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect...

That's even more impossible!

There are only two Supreme Elders in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect: Chen Xin and Gu Rong.

Whenever Ning Fengzhi leaves the sect, one Supreme Elder must accompany him.

The other Supreme Elder stays to guard the sect.

They almost never have the chance to act alone, so how could they possibly charge a bill?

And when traveling with Ning Fengzhi, do they need to pay for themselves?

Obviously, that's impossible.

The Supreme Elder Token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot be fake; any direct descendant of the school can recognize it.

Besides, who would dare to forge the token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

If discovered, it would be a matter of life and death!

"So, should I send this bill or not?"

The shop owner fell into deep thought.

A Supreme Elder of his own sect consuming his goods, does he really need to ask the sect for money?

Regardless of whether Zhongli is currently a Supreme Elder or has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as long as he holds the Supreme Elder Token, he is a Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

If not now, with the sect master's efforts, he will be in the future!

In the past, Sword Douluo was moved by Ning Fengzhi's sincerity and resolutely joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, becoming its guardian!

The shop owner knew that Zhongli was a Title Douluo with a hundred thousand-year spirit ring.

He had known since yesterday, before Zhongli and "Xue Qinghe" entered the Seven Treasures Hotel.

"Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi, you truly are the sect master! Such methods are beyond me."

"The sect will go further in your hands."

This is Heaven Dou City, and the Seven Treasures Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Heaven Dou City!

How could the one managing it not be a direct descendant of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

In terms of relations, this shop owner is Ning Fengzhi's cousin.

A seventy-two level auxiliary spirit saint!

He once had the potential to become the sect master.

However, the old sect master chose Ning Fengzhi instead of him.

He had never fully accepted this until Ning Fengzhi brought Sword Douluo into the sect.

Then, he conceded...

On Zhongli's side.

Paimon turned her head and said seriously, "Zhongli, I have a feeling that shop owner has quite a story. Why don't we go back and investigate?"

Hearing this, Zhongli's eye twitched, his mouth slightly opened, but he stopped himself from speaking.

Paimon's professional curiosity was acting up!

Going back to investigate?

Only to find out he's a spirit saint and listen to him tell stories about how he was once poor and was looked down upon.

Then, help him fulfill his wishes...

And finally, he'd give us hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins and experience...

Wait, something odd slipped in there!

"No wonder you're such a task expert!"

"The Traveler was so busy, probably ninety-nine percent of it is because of you, right?"

"Only the Traveler doesn't know how to refuse..."

Thinking of this, Zhongli looked up at the sky and said, "Paimon, humans have their own secrets, and we need to respect their privacy."

"Not pry into them."

Paimon was taken aback. Zhongli's words seemed reasonable, yet something felt off, but she couldn't pinpoint it.

"Zhongli, you're not fooling me, are you?"

"Does Paimon look like a fool?"

Paimon put her hands on her hips, questioning.

Zhongli looked down, slightly sideways, and stayed silent.

"Why are you hesitating?!"

Zhongli actually hesitated!

Paimon stomped in the air, her face full of anger!

If she could beat Zhongli with one finger, she would jump up and hit his knee!

"If we don't know human secrets, how can we help them?" Paimon tried to reason with Zhongli.

"Why do we need to help them?"

"Because, because..."

Paimon couldn't answer for a moment.

For Mora, or something else?

Yeah, why help them?

At this moment, Paimon fell into deep thought.

Is it because of the bond between friends?

Or because...

"Humans, like gods, must first learn to grow on their own."

"I wasn't born strong either. Without learning to be strong, one is doomed to perish."

"Unless it's a life-or-death situation, I won't intervene."

After saying this, Zhongli walked towards the teahouse on his own.

Paimon was stunned. Zhongli's profound words left her a bit confused.

He could help many people with just a flick of his finger.

But he insisted on waiting until they were in dire straits to act. Isn't that crazy?!

"Hey, Zhongli!"

"Wait for me!"

"I don't quite understand what you're saying!"

"After countless ages, you will understand."

Zhongli didn't say these words aloud. Before, when there was no one around, he could chat more with Paimon, but it was different here.

Without the Geo Archon, the people of Liyue learned to be strong, learned how to face crises, and Zhongli was very gratified by this, as he could finally lay down his burden.

The people of Douluo Continent also have a relatively stable life, aside from the oppression by the nobles.

Someone will solve that issue.

They don't need an otherworldly Geo Archon.

If everything becomes unbearable and disrupts his life...

Like the evil soul masters wreaking havoc in ten thousand years.

Then, he would step in!

"Sigh~"

"Could it be that the kindness of gods is also a curse, a kind of erosion?"

Gods are all kind, especially towards their people and humans.

However, when using inappropriate methods, they didn't consider whether their people could bear it.

Like the Decarabian. Didn't he love his people?

{For Non-Genshin readers-- Decarabian was God of Stroms in Genshin he died and Anemo Archon Barbatos took his place as for elemental spirit below it was Barbatos}

It was just that his methods were unbearable for them.

If he hadn't willingly been killed, how could a mere wind elemental spirit have killed him and taken his power?

That was the Decarabian!

A god ranked at least in the top ten in combat power!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was two days later.

This morning, "Xue Qinghe" came to Zhongli's residence, had breakfast with Zhongli and Paimon, and then bid farewell as she headed to the Star Dou Forest to hunt for spirit rings.

This trip might take ten days to half a month before she could return.

She came to inform Zhongli so he wouldn't think she was neglecting him.

"Qinghe, take care!"

"Okay, Paimon!"

After "Xue Qinghe" left, Paimon's eyes lit up, remembering that Zhongli had promised two days ago to take her to the Star Dou Forest.

"Zhongli, when are we leaving?"

"We'll depart once she's gone far enough."

"???"
