Sister Zhongli (Chapter 157)
"You, you..."
Wang Dong'er's gaze towards "Neuvillette" had changed.
She had come to "Neuvillette" to talk about feelings, and "Neuvillette" had lectured her on the law!
He even asked her to pay Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan for emotional damages...
Wow, just wow!
Being so handsome, he probably doesn't have a girlfriend, right?
Being so handsome, if I punched him, he'd probably cry for a long time, right?
"Miss Wang, rest assured, I'm a professional in this area!"
Zhongli said with a serious expression.
In Liyue, contracts are important, and so is the law.
As the god of Liyue, how could he not understand the law?
Neuvillette, as the Chief Justice of Fontaine, is also someone, or rather, a dragon, who knows the law.
"Who's asking if you're professional or not? Is this the result I wanted?"
Wang Dong'er complained inwardly, clenching her fists and glaring at "Neuvillette."
In the shadows, Niu Tian and Tai Tan exchanged a glance, momentarily speechless.
This guy is truly a prodigy!
There's no way he could deceive Wang Dong'er, absolutely no way!
Even the straightforward Niu Tian and Tai Tan thought "Neuvillette" was too blunt, which says a lot.
"Miss Wang, is there anything else you'd like to consult about?"
"If not, I'll take my leave."
Hearing this.
Wang Dong'er rolled her eyes, really wanting to punch "Neuvillette" in the face.
Is he blind?
Is he really that unwilling to talk more with a beautiful girl?
Suddenly, Wang Dong'er seemed to think of something and said, "Neuvillette, there is actually one more thing I'd like to ask."
"Oh?"
"Please go ahead, Miss Wang."
Zhongli replied with an unchanged expression.
"It's like this, I'm currently looking for a bard named Barbatos. I wonder if Neuvillette knows where this person might be?"
Wang Dong'er was grasping at straws; she didn't really think "Neuvillette" would know where Barbatos was.
She just wanted to learn more about "Neuvillette."
"???"
Zhongli was stunned. If he wasn't mistaken, the "Barbatos" Wang Dong'er was looking for was his previous alias.
If it were Barbatos himself, he would either say he was Venti or Morax, but never Barbatos.
That guy, Zhongli, knew him too well!
Besides, if Barbatos had descended, Zhongli would have sensed it. With no such sensation, it was impossible for him to have arrived in the Douluo Continent.
Why was Wang Dong'er looking for Barbatos?
After a brief thought, Zhongli said, "I'm sorry, Miss Wang."
"I don't know this Barbatos."
"But you can tell me his appearance and characteristics. If I have any news, I'll inform you as soon as I get Barbatos's consent."
"???"
Wang Dong'er was dumbfounded.
Only after getting Barbatos's consent would he tell her?
If Barbatos didn't agree, he wouldn't tell her even if he knew?
This guy is really principled!
"This is so strange. I feel like he's messing with me, but I can't pinpoint what's wrong."
Wang Dong'er thought to herself, but her expression remained calm.
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Neuvillette."
After saying this, Wang Dong'er described Barbatos's characteristics to "Neuvillette." The more people looking for him, the better the chances.
But she had a feeling it would fail.
Her friend was truly lovesick!
Who knows if Barbatos would even like Xiao Xiao? Finding him might just be the end of their connection.
"Sigh, the bitterness of love is so hard to swallow."
"I hope Xiao Xiao can move on soon."
"But..."
As if reminding something, Wang Dong'er looked at "Neuvillette" again. She was determined to make this guy taste the bitterness of love!
No matter how difficult it might be!
A moment later, "Neuvillette" parted ways with Wang Dong'er again. This time, he seemed to have made up his mind and left without hesitation.
"The Neuvillette alias can't be used anymore!"
"This is so strange. Both aliases have run into familiar faces..."
Zhongli frowned. He really didn't know why Wang Dong'er was looking for Barbatos.
But he knew that if he kept using the "Neuvillette" alias, the people Wang Dong'er was looking for might become both Barbatos and Neuvillette!
At a few intersections, Zhongli's figure flickered and disappeared.
As for Niu Tian and Tai Tan, they didn't follow Zhongli, so they didn't know that "Neuvillette" had "vanished."
When Zhongli reappeared, he was in the form of... a big sister.
"It's been three thousand years since I last used this form. I refuse to believe I'll run into anyone familiar..."
Her black hair with amber highlights was tied back, her eyes bright and teeth white, her amber pupils seem able to see through everything.
Tall and slender, she looked like a noble young lady.
The reason this alias hadn't been used in three thousand years was that it had been exposed once, and Guizhong had teased him about it.
As long as he wasn't embarrassed, the embarrassment would fall on others.
Morax's true form was a meteorite from the heavens, the dragon was one of his incarnations, and Zhongli was another... With so many aliases, having a big sister form was perfectly reasonable.
When Zhongli reappeared in front of passersby, their eyes were inevitably drawn to her.
"What are you looking at? What's so great about her?"
"She's just a bit taller, just has some charm and beauty. Am I not pretty enough? Why are you still looking?"
"Darling, I... I can't help it!"
"She's so beautiful, truly stunning!"
"..."
The appearance of this new alias caused quite a stir.
In fact, it was even bigger than the commotion Neuvillette had caused.
Passersby stopped to stare, their expressions varied.
"It's just an ordinary appearance, why?"
Zhongli was puzzled, Zhongli was confused.
He didn't understand why these humans thought this form was so beautiful.
The gap between people could sometimes be bigger than the gap between humans and dogs.
Zhongli had "seen it all," so he didn't feel anything was missed.
But these passersby, where had they ever seen such a beautiful woman?
Wang Dong'er was on her way back to the dormitory when she saw the crowd gathered around something. Curious, she rushed over.
It's human nature to be drawn to a spectacle; she couldn't be blamed.
"Gasp—"
With just one glance, Wang Dong'er inhaled sharply, somewhat in disbelief.
"Wait, this sister, she really looks a lot like the Martial God!"
"The same hair color, the same eyes, the same aura..."
"Could she be the Martial God's sister or cousin?"
Wang Dong'er thought to herself.
She was about to step forward and ask, but someone was quicker!
"Miss, I'm Ma Rulong, a participant from the Sun Moon Royal Academy and the captain of this year's team."
"May I have the honor of inviting you to lunch?"

Great People come and ask for Help (Chapter 158)
"Captain, this... this is beyond your grasp, let me handle it!"
Before Zhongli could say anything, Ma Rulong was pushed aside, and Xiao Hongchen appeared at the forefront.
His eyes gleamed as he looked at Zhongli, a mix of admiration and confusion in his gaze.
"For some reason, I feel like this big sister seems familiar..."
"This makeup, this appearance, this image..."
"She really looks so much like the Martial God!"
Xiao Hongchen thought to himself.
They didn't have a match today, so they came out to relax, never expecting to encounter such a woman. It was truly a stroke of good luck.
"She must be related to the Martial God, either his sister, younger sister, or perhaps his daughter..."
Her aura was too similar; it wasn't something that could be imitated.
Once he tested her, he might reveal the truth.
Ma Rulong, who had been pushed aside, came to his senses and said with some displeasure, "You young brat, you're still young, with plenty of opportunities and chances in the future."
"What do you mean it's beyond my grasp? A greenhorn like you, how could you possibly be worthy of such a big sister!"
Ma Rulong grabbed Xiao Hongchen and tried to pull him back.
"Captain, don't you feel she resembles a certain powerful figure?"
"???"
Ma Rulong had been purely admiring her beauty; why would he think of anything else?
"Who?"
Although Ma Rulong's status wasn't as high as Xiao Hongchen's, he was no simple figure either. Moreover, it was almost certain that he would become a level nine soul master in the future.
Talented, powerful, and with a bright future.
"The Martial God!"
Hearing this.
Ma Rulong shuddered, then switched at Zhongli, his pupils contracting involuntarily.
Before Xiao Hongchen mentioned it, he hadn't noticed anything missing. But after the reminder, his expression changed, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"No, I just wanted to pursue this big sister, not do anything bad. Why should I be scared?"
Thinking this, Ma Rulong's expression relaxed a bit, but he didn't push Xiao Hongchen away.
Zhongli's eyes twitched slightly, and he looked down at his hands in confusion. Was the resemblance really that strong?
To be recognized at a glance, how could he continue to disguise himself?
Zhongli's disguise was flawless, but his appearance, style, and aura were truly suspicious.
Wang Dong'er also noticed Zhongli and was momentarily stunned.
She had thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, but she never expected there was someone even more stunning!
This beauty was truly devastating!
"Miss, my name is Xiao Hongchen. May I know your name?"
Just guessing wouldn't get him anywhere.
It was better to ask directly.
Xiao Hongchen stepped forward, approaching Zhongli but maintaining a respectful distance, appearing very gentlemanly.
Hearing this.
Zhongli pondered for a moment, then glanced at the "acquaintances" before saying, "I've heard my brother mention you, the genius from the Sun Moon Empire, Xiao Hongchen."
"Hello, my name is Zhongli, the 'Li' from Liyue."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's pupils contracted, and they couldn't help but gasp.
This, this person really is the Martial God's sister!
Although she didn't mention who her brother was, her name is Zhongli!
She and the Martial God are practically identical!
Xiao Hongchen was stunned. This person had heard the Martial God mention him?
As if realizing something, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but smile. He couldn't suppress his excitement.
What did this mean?
It meant the Martial God valued him!
"Greetings, Lady Zhongli!"
Xiao Hongchen quickly bowed to Zhongli, his expression full of respect.
"Greetings, Lady Zhongli!"
No one doubted "Zhongli's" identity, nor would anyone dare to impersonate a deity's relative.
This person's identity was undoubtedly genuine.
"Zhongli" waved her hand casually, and an amber-colored golden light appeared, gently lifting everyone up.
Seeing this, the last traces of doubt in their hearts disappeared.
The resemblance was uncanny.
"So she is the Martial God's sister. Lady Zhongli's strength must be close to the Martial God's."
"The Martial God's origins are mysterious, and no one knows the specifics. Who would have thought he had such a powerful sister."
"Lady Zhongli must be a goddess, right?"
No one spoke, only exchanging glances.
The Martial God's age is unknown, but he must be quite old.
Lady Zhongli, who looked so young, was the Martial God's relative...
She must be an incredibly powerful being, likely a goddess.
Thankfully, they hadn't offended her earlier.
"So she's the Martial God's sister, no wonder..."
Wang Dong'er stared at "Zhongli," lost in thought.
Zhongli was also somewhat helpless. His aura was too distinct; Standing among ordinary people, he stood out like a crane among chickens.
When out and about, one's identity is self-proclaimed.
Being the "Martial God's" sister would suffice; Surely no one would seek to verify it.
"Everyone, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave and wander around."
Hearing this, everyone quickly made their way. They dared not block the Martial God's relatives.
Wang Dong'er was momentarily stunned. This phrase, she felt like she had heard it somewhere before!
Perhaps their personalities were similar, hence the similar words.
At that moment, an old man suddenly appeared and bowed to "Zhongli."
"Greetings, Lady Zhongli! This old man has a matter I wish to consult you about."
Seeing the newcomer, Ma Rulong, Xiao Hongchen, and the others were taken aback. Why did this person come?
This old man was the pillar of the Sun Moon Empire. Almost all the living level nine soul masters had received his guidance.
"Elder Kong!"
Before anyone could bow, Kong Deming waved his hand, indicating they need not pay him any mind.
He had come to seek Zhongli's help. When he went to Zhongli's hotel, he was told Zhongli wasn't there.
This Zhongli before him was unfathomable, likely a deity as well. Even if she wasn't as strong as the Martial God, she wouldn't be far off.
Seeing the newcomer, Zhongli knew what Kong Deming sought.
"Very well."
Nodding, Zhongli headed towards a nearby tavern.
Kong Deming's inquiry was a private matter; Discussing it in public would be inconvenient.
Receiving the approval, Kong Deming's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed Zhongli.
"Truly the Martial God's sister. Her every step is graceful, her every movement exuding beauty."
"Um, is that really what you're focusing on? I wonder what Elder Kong wants with her."
In a short while, the two arrived at the tavern.
"Everyone, please leave for now. I'll cover your expenses."
"As for the tavern's losses during this time, I will compensate."
As Kong Deming's words fell, except for the tavern owner, everyone quickly left.
The old man didn't look like someone to be trifled with. Since he had spoken, it would be impolite to stay.
After leaving the tavern, they learned the identities of the old man and the woman, and were once again startled!

Author has ran out of ideas. According to author this novel is either finished or there might be some chance that they will update in near future. No timing but for now it's on indefinite hiatus.
And from my point of view it has 1 percentage chances that it will be updated in future because author did many times like this so we can't trust and they also started new work so there's less chances. If it will be updated in future I will also update.
For now I have updated till latest chapter that was updated in qidian.
