Chapter 85 Demon God [Peach Capital] The Boundary Between Life and Death

The day passed quickly.

As for Qinglan and Yueshu, their understanding has already been dispelled.

So all those memories from back then have disappeared.

Qiu Nian then used subtle hints to make Qing Lan understand that Qiu Nian and she had been the subject of rumors.

In her memory, she only asked Qiu a few questions.

We only walked together for a short while.

Seven days passed quickly.

One day, Qinglan found Qiu Nian, and together they put an end to the rumor.

This matter has now come to an end.

As for the ten million Mora, Qinglan had forgotten about it, so Qiu Nian naturally didn't mention it either.

After that, every day after the storytelling and lectures were finished.

Qiu Nian and Zhong Li listened to opera and music in Liyue Harbor.

Zhongli had just received his salary and was about to invite Qiu Nian to dinner at Xinyuexuan.

I ate it for three days in a row and bought a bunch of expensive amber.

My salary just vanished.

So it turns out he wasn't short of money, but rather he spent it too quickly.

Of course, he still sometimes forgets to bring money.

The 20th of Autumn arrives around this time every year.

When Qiu Nian really couldn't afford to pay, Zhong Li would write down the bill and send it to the ancestral hall.

Qiu Nian quite likes this kind of life; it's very leisurely.

Occasionally, some ritual officiants encounter problems they cannot solve.

They would then ask Qiu Nian and Zhong Li to go over.

During this time, Qiu Nian also saw a different kind of walnut.

When dealing with funeral arrangements and discussing life and death.

She would put away her usual liveliness and become somewhat serious.

He gives off a mature and professional vibe.

After all, people who value manners do things in a manner that is refined.

One evening seven days later.

Hu Tao brought Qiu Nian to Wuwangpo for the first time.

Because she believed that Qiu Nian's magical abilities could help her.

Qiu Nian's salary also increased significantly because of this incident.

It costs about five million Mora a month.

Upon seeing this eerie place, Qiu Nianyi was filled with mixed emotions.

"The Demon God, this ancient god was neither an enemy nor a friend of Liyue in the past."

"If he hadn't still cared for the common people and was willing to refine himself to pacify the underworld."

"Let alone the Eight Wonders, even if the Eight Immortals came again, what could they do to him?"

"After that, his divine remains transformed into a boundary, separating the worlds of life and death..."

Looking at the ghost village filled with eerie will-o'-the-wisps, Qiu Nian felt a sense of respect.

If it weren't for this demon god, he wouldn't be able to help the captain now.

"And the work of the Hall of Rebirth is to maintain the boundaries that the demons become after they die."

"It has always been a place for the deceased of ordinary people, yet it has managed to maintain its boundaries to this day."

"The Hall of Rebirth truly produces outstanding talents generation after generation..."

Looking at the scene before her, Qiu Nian smiled faintly.

Then, he turned his gaze to Hu Tao beside him.

So it's easy to imagine...

Despite her young age, Hu Tao is usually quirky and clever, but she carries a heavy burden on her shoulders.

"Let's go, Qiu Nian, guest minister."

"You don't need to do anything, just accompany me for a walk."

"We'll handle whatever happens."

Hu Tao blinked her beautiful plum blossom eyes.

He then took the staff of homa and went for a stroll with Qiu Nian.

"During the war between demons and gods, corpses littered the fields and lives were lost."

"Infectious diseases are spreading everywhere, and death is frantically devouring our world."

“At that time, the Hall of Rebirth appeared.”

"With insignificant human status, it took a long time to drive death back."

As Hu Tao walked, she told Qiu Nian about the ancient story of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Later, a long time passed, and Liyue Harbor prospered."

"Everyone is chasing fame and Mora."

"In the end, the madman touched the legacy of death."

"The remnants of demons wreak havoc on the human world; it is the self-destruction of 'life' and its extreme, and the backlash of 'death' at its end."

Qiu Nian took over from Hu Tao and continued the story.

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao stopped in her tracks and looked at Qiu Nian beside her with some surprise.

She never expected that Qiu Nian would know about this.

"This was mentioned in the ancient books in that ancestral house."

"It's nothing to surprise the hall master."

Qiu Nian looked at Hu Tao beside her and said with a light laugh.

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao rested her chin on one hand and nodded.

It's not surprising that Qiu Nian's ancestors had connections with the immortals and knew about this matter.

Qiu Nian even met an immortal and possessed immortal techniques capable of resolving the remnant souls of demon gods' followers.

She really struck gold...

She decided to take Qiu Nian to see the boundary between life and death.

After crossing the border, Qiu Nian will be able to help her like Lao Meng and the others.

"Yes...and then a very, very long time passed."

"The restoration of balance and the establishment of boundaries led to the Liyue Harbor we see today."

"With Liyue Harbor today, there is also this Master."

Hu Tao nodded, then frowned slightly and began to speak to Qiu Nian.

"Since Qiu Nian knows these things and also possesses immortal magic."

"Then today I will take you to see the real border."

"If it's not absolutely necessary, having Lao Meng and the others to help me is enough."

"If all else fails, I'll ask you to come and help."

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and said with a light laugh.

"The true boundary..."

"Thank you for your trust, Master."

Qiu Nian looked at the walnuts in front of her and expressed her gratitude.

"Eh~ Where is this language?"

“You are an old friend of Zhongli Keqing, and I trust your character.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao spread her hands and smiled at Qiu Nian.

"But... listen to me saying I'm going to take you to the real border..."

"Aren't you even a little surprised?"

"Just like Zhongli, this emotional fluctuation is far too small..."

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Nian in front of her and said something that seemed very strange.

That's too composed...

He looks so young...

Why did Zhongli and Qiu Nian both give her the feeling that they were older?

"Um...."

"Maybe it's just how I was born."

Qiu Nian looked at the walnuts in front of him and waved his hand as he spoke.

"Were you born that way?"
