In the end, Cid, the old uncle, had to expend a tremendous amount of effort to escape from the site of the Rite of Descension.
Can you understand how difficult it is to get out of a crowd full of Rex Lapis fans?
The main problem was that they had ill intentions toward the old uncle's cat-dragon Lord of Geo!
"We are from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. This cat-dragon Lord of Geo was specially gifted by the Lord of Geo himself to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to suppress bad luck. It is absolutely not for sale."
Even bringing up the name of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor didn't work for Cid, the old uncle!
The crowd was getting incredibly excited!
After hearing about suppressing bad luck, they went even crazier!
In the end, the old uncle had to use his Vision to create a wind field to escape from the crowd.
"Old Master Zhongli, you probably have no idea—that was truly terrifying."
As for Old Master Zhongli…
"What? Rex Lapis actually descended upon little friend Cid's cat-dragon Lord of Geo? Is that true or false?"
Cid, the old uncle, looked at the usually composed Old Master Zhongli and suddenly found himself speechless.
Fine, fine, fine! So this is how we're playing it, huh?
Hey, old man, just you wait!
From now on, if your statues all turn into cat-dragon Lord of Geo, I won't feel guilty at all!
"Old uncle! That beautiful big sister from the big platform earlier came looking for you!"
Little Hu Tao burst in and announced loudly.
Is it Ganyu?
The old uncle went out to greet her.
Mainly because Hall Master Hu and the Grand Hall Master Hu had already set off for Wuwang Hill, so they weren't at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
As for why the old uncle was so practiced at going out to receive guests…
Just look at Zhongli slacking off beside him.
"Mr. Cid, sorry to disturb you. I heard that the Lord of Geo descended upon your cat-dragon Lord of Geo. Is that true?"
After Ganyu sat down, her very first words were a timid inquiry about information regarding the Lord of Geo.
Speaking of which, the current Ganyu probably doesn't know that Zhongli is the Lord of Geo.
To be precise, aside from occasionally gathering with the adepti living in seclusion in the mountains to drink tea, Morax has relatively distant relationships with the younger generation in Liyue.
Zhongli, on the other hand, is the opposite.
"Miss Ganyu, if you've come for this matter, just follow me. The Lord of Geo did indeed descend upon my cat-dragon Lord of Geo plush once."
And so, before Ganyu's seat had even warmed up, the old uncle led her to his room.
He had to thank little Eula for loving to tidy her own room and for instilling in him the good habit of daily cleaning.
Ganyu didn't pay attention to the old uncle's room; her gaze went straight to the cat-dragon Lord of Geo that Cid, the old gentleman, had placed on the altar.
"There is indeed residual power from the Lord of Geo."
Ganyu looked at the cat-dragon Lord of Geo, then turned to Cid, the old uncle.
"May I borrow some incense?"
"Please, go ahead."
Faced with Ganyu's timid request, the old uncle naturally couldn't refuse.
After Ganyu devoutly paid her respects, she and Cid, the old uncle, began discussing the main business.
The old uncle mentally abbreviated Ganyu's words.
In short, a cat-dragon Lord of Geo that the Lord of Geo has descended upon is no longer an ordinary plush—it has become part of the culture.
The kind that needs to be officially registered.
Aside from verifying its authenticity, Ganyu's visit this time was also to use her authority to complete the registration.
"Mr. Cid, the names of everyone here…?" Ganyu asked, slightly surprised.
"Just put down Hu Tao. Fixed address: Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. I already told the crowd earlier that it was specially gifted by the Lord of Geo to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to suppress bad luck."
Although that wasn't actually the case, having this cat-dragon Lord of Geo at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor should make little Hu Tao's days in Liyue much better.
"Is that so? I understand. Mr. Cid is a good person."
Ganyu seemed to realize that the old uncle was lying, but she chose not to point it out. She simply smiled, revealing an expression of affection as if she had encountered a beloved little animal.
Hmm… successfully collected one "good person" card from a cute girl.
Not bad at all.
"Of course—I absolutely love being a good person."
The old uncle vigorously ruffled the head of little Hu Tao, who was taking full advantage of the situation beside him.
