Chapter 379 Gift
Gui Zhong smiled and shook his head. "No, because after talking to him, I learned his demon god name. I then realized that he was the Rock Demon God Morax, who was famous among many demon gods."
"I was very shocked at the time. After a moment of silence, I came up with a plan in my mind - I wanted to form an alliance with him and jointly protect the lives of the people on this land. After all, although I have the heart to protect, my strength is indeed limited. Fighting alone, it is difficult to win in this war between demons and gods."
"Did the Emperor agree directly?" Su Xun asked curiously.
Gui Zhong shook his head. "Morax didn't agree to my request right away. He just looked at me calmly with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. I know he was considering my strength and my heart."
"So, I explained to him my ideas and plans, as well as what I could bring to this land. Perhaps my sincerity touched him, and in the end, he agreed to form an alliance with me." A relieved smile appeared on Guizhong's face.
Su Xun listened attentively. This was not just the few bits of story he had learned in the game in his previous life. Now, listening to Gui Zhong telling the story with his own ears, it seemed so vivid and alive.
"You should know what happened next. I gave the Chain of the World to Morax as a token of the covenant. At that time, I led the people to build a settlement on the plains north of Tianheng Mountain and farmed the land. After Morax moved the Liyue people here, I named this place Guiliji after the two of us."
Su Xun nodded and sighed, "Sister Gui Zhong and the Emperor's past is truly full of legends."
Gui Zhong gently fiddled with the petals around him and continued, "Liyue back then was far from being as prosperous and peaceful as it is now. We faced endless wars and chaos, and countless lives suffered every day. But it was this suffering that made us more determined to protect this land."
“It’s a pity that I didn’t have the luck to witness Liyue’s gradual rise to prosperity today.” Gui Zhong’s voice was filled with a hint of regret and sadness.
"Sister Gui Zhong..."
Su Xun did not comfort Guizhong. As the Demon God of Dust, she was not that fragile. She just couldn't help feeling emotional when she recalled the past.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
"Brother Su Xun, can you give me a hug?" Suddenly, Gui Zhong's voice broke the silence, with a hint of imperceptible fragility.
"What?" Su Xun was slightly stunned.
Gui Zhong didn't say anything, he just hugged his knees with his hands, looking pitiful.
Su Xun's heart softened, thinking that even if Sister Gui Zhong was the Demon God of Dust, she was just a woman who needed comfort at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently embraced Guizhong in his arms.
When the two hugged each other, Gui Zhong's body trembled slightly, and then she leaned into Su Xun's arms.
Her hair brushed against Su Xun's cheek, bringing a faint fragrance.
Time seems to stand still at this moment, with only the breeze blowing and the petals falling.
From an angle that Su Xun couldn't see, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Gui Zhong's face.
With his ear against Su Xun's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, Gui Zhong's eyes gradually became a little blurred.
For some reason, ever since Su Xun helped her rebuild her demon body and regain her life, she has developed a special feeling for Su Xun.
This feeling is very complicated, including gratitude, dependence, and some things that she herself cannot explain clearly.
Perhaps she wanted to find some comfort from Su Xun, or perhaps she wanted Su Xun to better understand her past and make the relationship between the two closer, so today she took this opportunity to bring Su Xun to this place full of memories and tell him about the past.
Gui finally closed her eyes gently, feeling the warmth in Su Xun's arms, and an unprecedented sense of peace and satisfaction surged in her heart.
Su Xun, on the other hand, held Gui Zhong in his arms obediently, not daring to do anything beyond the proper boundaries.
After a while, feeling the soft and delicate body of the beauty, although Su Xun enjoyed it a little, he felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Gui was not his wife, but an elder of the same generation as his master. It seemed a little inappropriate for him to keep holding her like this.
After thinking for a while, Su Xun said, "Sister Gui Zhong, let me give you a gift."
"Hmm?" Gui Zhong raised his head slightly and looked at Su Xun curiously, his eyes full of expectation. "Gift? Why did brother Su Xun suddenly want to give me a gift? What gift is it?"
Su Xun smiled slightly, with a mysterious light flashing in his eyes: "Sister Gui Zhong, please wait a moment."
He let go of Guizhong, stood up and walked not far away.
Feeling the warm embrace leaving, Gui finally felt a little lost, but he still looked at Su Xun quietly, waiting for the gift he mentioned.
"Sister Guizhong, close your eyes."
Gui Zhong smiled slightly and closed his eyes as he was told, his heart full of curiosity and anticipation.
Seeing Gui Zhong's obedient appearance, Su Xun smiled, then began to adjust his breath and mobilize the spiritual power in his body.
As the myriad spiritual power in his meridians flowed out along his arms, Su Xun quickly formed seals with his hands, and a mysterious wave spread in the air.
The misty air slowly gathered like a soft veil, and gradually condensed into a gorgeous glass lily in front of Gui Zhong.
The petals are crystal clear, sparkling with colorful light, and the stamens seem to contain the brilliance of stars.
"You can open your eyes now." Su Xun said.
Gui Zhong slowly opened her eyes. When she saw the beautiful glass lily in front of her, she was slightly startled, and then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
"So beautiful... Brother Su Xun, is this your gift?" Gui Zhong gently stretched out his hand, wanting to touch it but afraid of damaging the exquisite flower.
"Haha, it's not over yet, Sister Gui Zhong." Su Xun smiled mysteriously and the seal in his hand changed again.
I saw the glass lily slowly rising into the air, and the petals began to float away and turn into starlight, like a dream.
The starlight gathered into a dazzling band of light, revolving around Gui Zhong, as if dancing for her.
Gui Zhong's expression was moved. She raised her bare hand and lightly touched the flowing starlight with her fingertips.
Feeling the slight coolness and the warm power contained in the starlight, Gui Zhong was about to say something, but the light band suddenly turned into countless light spots, flew away and landed in this beautiful sea of flowers.
As those spots of light fell into the sea of flowers, a wonderful change instantly occurred.
Every bit of starlight seems to have life. They jump on the petals, penetrate into the soil, and create some kind of mysterious resonance with the earth and flowers.
The next second, a shocking scene took place. Wherever the light spots fell, glazed lilies quickly grew and bloomed. In a blink of an eye, the entire valley was covered with glazed lilies, the fragrance of flowers filled the air, and it was beautiful beyond words.
