Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: The Three Moons

Finally the hosts has arrived.

All eyes were drawn to the people who were slowly descending from the stairs, including those girls clasping Zhongli tightly.

Naturally, Zhongli didn't let such a time pass without doing anything.

He slithered out from the gripping tight claws of the women vying for his attention.

"Ahh!"

"He's gone."

"Ara~ It might seems so. But still, we can definitely see him again~"

Said by the three women, while the last one licking her lips seductively.

Dread reverberated down to his spine, making him recoil in sense of unease.

'Those women must be think of me again. Bítches! As if I'll ever let you near me!'

He roared in his heart.

Fixating his gaze at the descending people, he couldn't help but feel awe at the sight.

Such breathtaking sight.

Coming down to the hall, comes a a man with long hair, dark as the void, flowing down to his back, faintly glistening as if woven by the iridescent light. Skin bearing faint scales, appearing like ancient sigils engraved on ones body.

He also wears a dark robe dress, flowing down with patterns reminiscing that of dragons, constellations and shattered stars. Exuding a rather ethereal presence.

Following him are the three Moon sisters. Each carrying their own regal authority.

One appears like a gentle maiden. With flowing silver-white robes adorned with exquisite patterns of aligning stars. Eyes that held the warmth of the rising moon.

The following one carries herself in a calm and elegant manner. Neatly dressed in pale blue and soft gold, her hair bound neatly on her back. Her gaze steady and serene like a moon at its zenith.

The last one manifested as a tall, solemn figure wearing purple and black, her dark hair cascading like a starless sky. Her eyes glows faintly with cold moonfire, as if it could stare right into the soul.

Such breathtaking sight indeed.

Even Zhongli acknowledge such a sight.

Eyes fixated on the four people, who would think otherwise?

Even the blinds would naturally be captivated by their charisma.

Not just because of the sight, but also their overflowing presence one cannot ignore.

Still, he shook his head.

Thinking to himself that he too is very handsome.

He could even marry himself if he was a girl!!

Narcissism at its finest…

With a gentle voice, not too loud nor too soft, just the right volume for all the participants to hear, the man spoke.

"I'm very grateful for all of you that has come. Let me introduce these three for you to know them. As they shall be the ones who will guide you in during the day and will protect you during the night, little ones."

The man spoke gently with a gentle elderly eyes.

He spoke to them not as their superior, not as their ruler, nor as their creator, rather, he spoke like a father to his child from the bottom of his heart.

But as expected, confusion arise from the people.

Not knowing what their ruler is saying.

Still, they know when to speak and when not to.

Staying silent is the right choice in here.

That's the thought of all participants here, including those of the Sovereigns and Zhongli.

"You guys might have some questions to ask, but I, Nibelung, assure you. They are more than capable of doing those."

Nibelung assure them, even swearing it upon his name.

Relief showered them, finally relaxing when they hear him say those words.

"These are Aria, Sonnet and Canon. They shall be the moon that will shine at night. Do you understand?"

Nibelung lightly raised his tone as he ask the people that is present in there.

The participants just nodded without any words.

Nibelung just lightly smiled as he said to them again.

"Alright, that is all I want to say. Also I'll be leaving for now, as I have something to attend to. So have just enjoy your time in here."

After that Nibelung disappeared in a flash, leaving the Three Moons standing in there.

The crowd didn't waste any time and one by one greeted the trio.

Despite being born not too long ago, the trio already knew some knowledge about this.

Truly as expected of divine origin. Even though they not been roaming this world for a long time, they already carried themselves with elegance.

"Hey, disciple."

A slightly rugged voice of a woman echoed through his ears.

Zhongli turned around who it was, and he saw that it was the Geo Dragon Sovereign, his now Master.

Scrutinizing if there were marks that is left due to the previous encounter, Zhongli asked his master with deep concern.

"Master, are you okay? Did the fight with the Dendro Dragon Sovereign left any injuries?"

Zhongli's face filled with apprehension.

It's only natural. As without this master of his, how could he possibly survive on this unknown land?

They might have known each other for not quite a lot but, she is still his master, that's why he is concerned about the well being of her.

The woman pursed her lips, feeling a bit elated due to his disciple.

"Hahahaha, don't worry. That old crook would never be able to harm me. Also, it is just a friendly exchanged, don't worry!"

She laughed triumphantly, slightly boasting about it to her disciple.

Zhongli just continued to gaze at the woman in front of him with deadpan expression.

Shrugging his thoughts aside, Zhongli asked his master again on what to do now.

Indeed, what should they do now? Since the dragon king has already left the venue, should they greet the Three Moon Sisters and leave the venue?

"Hmm. Yeah, let us meet the Sisters first, before heading back to our home."

The woman beckon Zhongli to follow her as she head towards the trio, who are right now, chatting with the other Sovereigns.

As for Zhongli, he just stared at the woman with an unreadable gaze.

Home…

This struck him deeply.

He didn't know why but, the word, *Home*, seems to resonate in his heart very much.

Much like a melodic strum vibrating to his very core.

"I see. Home huh."

He lightly pursed his lips then walked towards the others.

No one knew what is on his mind is, because as of now, there are things that is much more important to do.

Upon arriving to where the others are, the Geo Dragon Sovereign then introduced themselves to the trio.

"I'm the Geo Dragon Sovereign, though if you want, you can also call me Ruòtuó, and this is my disciple, uhh…"

The Geo Dragon Sovereign, or Ruòtuó as she exclaimed, looked at her disciple with a little discomfort.

She forgot. She still didn't even know her disciples name!

Wait, does he even have one?

Her mind is in a jumbled mess. Should she make a name for him?

Fortunately, Zhongli sensed her turmoil as he then stepped a little forward and bowed as he introduced himself in a polite manner.

"Nice to meet you fair ladies. I'm Zhongli, the current disciple of the Geo Dragon Sovereign. Also, if you ladies need anything please don't hesitate to ask for it. I may not know many things, but I'll gladly help you with all I could have."

He said all those words in a single breathe.

Flashing a small and elegant smile at the trio.

This might be a bit weird to the people of the modern era, thinking that he is definitely extending his hand in marriage.

But for the trio?

He gained plus points in their heart.

Such polite well being.

Not to mention, he even bowed with sincerity.

They can feel that he genuinely said that from the bottom of his heart.

"Yeah… Please do take care of us."

The eldest of the three, Aria, answered with a faint blush on her fair face.

While the other sisters silently nodded.

The three thought it might not be a bad idea for them to rely on someone when they truly needed it.

They are colleagues, so why not?

As for Zhongli, he became a little dazed at the sight when he looked at the trio in their faces.

Though, he brushed it off as he steeled himself once again as he answered back.

"Hmm. I would be more than happy to do so."

All the people who are present near them felt it was all natural.

As for the other participants?

They didn't even hear their conversation, they aren't even interested in it in the first place!

There are foods, so instead of eavesdropping, why not just enjoy ourselves?

So yeah, they aren't interested in it.

Though, as one would might expect.

There is always that one guy who will completely misunderstand the situation.

And who is it?

The Pyro Dragon Sovereign grinned and flashed a thumbs up at the Deity who is looking at the trio.

Zhongli caught this at the side of his eyes, as he slightly twitch his eyes.

'Dude. Stop misunderstanding will you!?'
