The Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis uses the color scheme of Rex Lapis, with dragon elements combined with kitty features—extremely cute.
"Ningguang, this Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis of yours is absolutely amazing!"
Cid the old uncle hugged the Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis plushie designed by Ningguang and inhaled it furiously.
Oh! Adorable Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis!
Today, you're not getting away! Obediently come home with this old uncle and be my household dragon!
At this very moment, the brush in the hand of the elderly Zhongli, who was painting, unexpectedly veered off in another direction while outlining.
The elderly Morax rubbed his brow.
The entire Liyue Harbor is full of Rex Lapis stans, and there's only one little hater—who could it be? So hard to guess.
"As long as the gentleman finds it suitable." Ningguang watched the old uncle acting like a total pervert and felt that the filter she once had was now shattered into slag.
"However, wouldn't this kind of plushie damage the dignity of Lord Rex Lapis?" Director Hu seemed a bit uneasy.
"No need to worry. I have cast the holy grail for Lord Rex Lapis, and Lord Rex Lapis has approved." Ningguang said so.
"I'll buy it." Director Hu made his choice without hesitation.
And so it was.
The two old uncles pocketed the Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis plushies and set off on the road back to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
The Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis in Cid the old uncle's left hand was for little Eula, the one in his right hand was to be used for worship at Lord Rex Lapis's statue, and the one hanging around his neck was his own.
Director Hu bought four—according to him, one for his father, one for himself, one for little Hu Tao, and one for Consultant Zhongli as well.
Hmm... What would the little hater say when he sees the Rex Lapis plushie?
So curious.
The two of them returned to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor without any issues.
"Dad, Consultant Zhongli, look what I brought for you!"
The old parlor director Hu stared at the Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis in his son's hand and fell into deep thought.
In a few days, his son would have to go to the border to burn away the dead qi. At a time like this, doing something that disrespects Lord Rex Lapis's dignity...
Does he even want to come back alive?
"The merchant said she cast the holy grail, and old Rex Lapis agreed."
That said, this plushie really is quite nice-looking.
The old parlor director Hu took the Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis from Director Hu's hand.
Consultant Zhongli also accepted one, gazing at the Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis.
Couldn't tell what he was thinking. What a shame.
Having seen nothing, Cid returned to his room, set down the three Kitty Dragon plushies, and planned to stroll out to find little Hu Tao and little Eula to play.
"Young friend Cid, if you are bored, why not accompany this Zhong to listen to Iron Tongue Tian's storytelling?" At that moment, the elderly Zhongli, having finished his painting, extended an invitation.
"Sure." When the old gentleman Zhongli invited him, Cid the old uncle agreed right away.
And just like that, the old uncle who had just visited Ningguang hitched a ride with the elderly Zhongli to pass the time.
And today, the story Iron Tongue Tian was telling happened to be "The Eight Wonders Refine the Peach Capital."
If one calculates it, this should be right around the time Director Hu goes to the border to deal with the dead qi.
Old uncle Cid listened to the storytelling while asking, "Consultant Zhongli, Lord Rex Lapis possesses great power—do you think Lord Rex Lapis would know people's thoughts about the Kitty Dragon Rex Lapis?"
"Perhaps." The elderly Zhongli was seriously listening to the storytelling.
I'm betting Rex Lapis will enter my dream tonight.
According to the original Genshin plot, Director Hu will fall at the border between life and death this time.
Rex Lapis probably isn't unwilling to save him but unable to.
I do remember the plot where little Eula practices her dance on the snowy mountain.
Being able to collapse near the Statue of the Seven should count as normal. If I hadn't picked her up, she probably would have been rescued by her returning cousin.
Now that I've arrived at this point in time, I always feel that, right at this moment, from this very instant, it's just like the moment I entered the snowy mountain.
Bad news: I've probably been slightly schemed against by the elderly Zhongli.
Good news: In the eyes of the elderly Zhongli, this descender like me probably has the ability to save Director Hu.
