Chapter 167 Who exactly is Bai Mu?
With his two newly acquired spoils, Shiraki returned home satisfied.
"So, what do you think of Liyue's combat strength compared to Sumeru?"
Upon arriving beside the Great Tree King, Bai Mu asked with a smile.
A complex expression flickered in the eyes of the Great Compassion Tree King. She sighed deeply and said:
"Sigh, there's no comparison. Sumeru is far inferior to Liyue."
Hearing the Great Tree King's sigh, Shiraki patted her shoulder, intending to offer some words of comfort.
But he also felt that no matter how he tried to comfort her, it would be a blow to the Great Tree King in the face of the established fact that Sumeru was far inferior to Liyue.
So, the words of comfort that Shiraki was about to say turned out to be:
"Yeah, that's true. It's good that you can face reality. Sumeru is definitely worse than Liyue."
Great Tree King: "&*(**)\u003d!"
She stared at Bai Mu with a blank expression until Bai Mu became uncomfortable and looked away, only then did she withdraw her gaze from Bai Mu.
"Sumi will definitely develop in the future, and its development prospects are no worse than Liyue's."
The Great Tree King gently patted Nasita's head, who was still in shock, and spoke softly.
She believed that under Nasita's leadership, Xumi would definitely get better.
"Ah, yes, yes."
Shiraki nodded repeatedly, indicating that he strongly agreed with the Great Tree King's point of view.
......
"I'm going out for a bit, and I'll need your help when I get back."
"Stay home and don't wander around. I'll be back soon."
After having a quick meal at Wanmintang, Bai Mu returned home and suddenly remembered that there seemed to be some things he needed to take care of at the Beiguo Bank.
After dealing with Oser, Ying, Zhongli, D'Artagnan, and the lady will gather at the Northern Bank.
At this time, Ying will also learn Zhongli's true identity.
Shiraki definitely had to join in the fun at this kind of scene.
"Okay, go ahead."
The Great Compassion Tree King nodded and parted ways with Bai Mu at the entrance of Wanmin Hall.
She took Nasita home, while Shiraki went to the Northern Bank alone.
......
"Hey, everyone's here."
Upon entering the Northern Bank, Bai Mu greeted the four people and a floating object in front of him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Bai..."
Upon seeing Shiraki arrive, Dadalia responded somewhat guiltily.
"It's you!"
At that moment, the woman suddenly cried out in surprise when she realized that the person who had come was the one who had stolen her Heart of God in Mondstadt that day.
She stared at Bai Mu, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.
Noticing the woman's gaze, Bai Mu simply smiled and glanced at her, not paying much attention to it.
Anyway, this woman died not long after arriving in Inazuma, so as long as she doesn't do anything reckless now, Shiraki won't bother with her too much.
Faced with a dying person, Bai Mu was willing to show her some leniency.
"Yes, it's me. Long time no see, ma'am."
Bai Mu greeted the lady with a smile.
However, to prevent the lady from scolding him, Bai Mu still released a trace of pressure, subtly oppressing her and preventing her from saying anything too outrageous.
"Humph."
Feeling the intense pressure surrounding her, the woman snorted and abandoned her plan to utter harsh words.
She ignored Bai Mu and turned her gaze to Zhong Li, speaking with a touch of arrogance:
“Morax, according to the contract, you have also handed over your Heart of God.”
"Hey?"
"!"
Upon hearing the woman's words, Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, both showing the same look of shock.
"Zhongli, you...you are the Emperor?"
A question escaped Paimon's lips, his tone filled with disbelief.
If Zhongli is the Emperor, then who is Baimu?
"Well, I am."
Zhongli nodded and directly admitted his identity in front of everyone.
"Since you are the Emperor, then...who is Bai Mu?"
Upon hearing Zhongli's admission, Paimon directly asked the question that had been on his and Ying's minds.
"hehe."
Zhong Li chuckled softly, without directly revealing Bai Mu's identity.
Seeing that Zhongli didn't want to answer, Ying and Paimon turned their curious gazes to Bai Mu himself.
"Are you guys done yet?"
"Morax, are you not going to honor the contract?"
Seeing that she was being completely ignored, the woman spoke up in dissatisfaction, interrupting the conversation.
"Ah."
"As the God of Contracts, I will naturally abide by the contracts."
“But this item is not with me right now; you will need to ask him for it.”
Zhongli then pointed to the white wood beside him and said to the lady.
The woman's heart skipped a beat when she saw the person Zhongli was pointing at.
Judging from the fact that Shiraki stole the Wind God's Heart that she had just obtained, Shiraki should also be collecting God's Hearts.
Therefore, the lady had a premonition that she would have no chance of getting the Heart of the Rock God from Shiroki.
Sure enough, Bai Mu then said with a smile:
"It seems your Queen didn't tell you."
“I also have a contract with her, the content of which is: before the Heart of God is given to her, it must first be kept by me for a period of time.”
"How could you? Why wouldn't I know about this?"
Upon hearing this, the woman asked with a grim expression.
She didn't believe what Bai Mu said; she felt that Bai Mu was just looking for an excuse not to give her the Heart of God.
If this were true, why wouldn't she know about it, as the executor tasked with finding the Divine Heart for Her Majesty?
Seeing the woman's clearly disbelieving expression, Bai Mu didn't bother arguing with her. He intensified his aura and released his power, then said directly:
"If you don't believe me, I can do what I did last time and bring your empress here to confront her."
"what do you think?"
"Gudong."
Hearing Bai Mu's clearly threatening words and feeling the increasingly powerful pressure around her, the woman willingly shut her mouth.
Seeing the lady behave obediently under his pressure, Bai Mu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He was afraid that if the lady was frightened by him in Liyue, then if she didn't go crazy after arriving in Inazuma, wouldn't she be able to survive?
Thinking it over, Bai Mu withdrew the pressure he had released, then lowered his posture slightly and softened his tone.
"Regarding the Heart of God, I did have a pact with the Ice God before, so I cannot give it to you."
"I hope you understand."
The oppressive atmosphere around her suddenly eased, leaving the woman feeling slightly disoriented.
But after hearing Bai Mu's words, "I hope you can understand," her previously unpleasant expression suddenly turned haughty.
It seems that this powerful god also fears his own Ice God, otherwise he wouldn't be speaking to him in such a manner.
