Douluo; Zhongli Adventures in Mortal World with Paimon

"Chiyu or Xiaofeilian?"

"Xue Qinghe," The Cat Girl and Paimon blinked in surprise, then their eyes brighten up.

Although they didn't understand what it meant, it sounded nice, didn't it?

"A white cat, pure as jade, about a foot long, is called Chi Yu."

"As for Xiaofeilian…"

"That's another way of saying it."

"Miss, if you like, you can choose one of these two names."

Zhongli spoke leisurely. He originally intended to name this stubborn girl Keqing.

But after looking at Paimon, he abandoned the idea.

Keqing is Keqing, one of the Seven Stars of Liyue in Teyvat, also a stubborn young girl.

For the development of Liyue, she always does everything herself.

As for Chi Yu of Xiaofeilian, that's another term for a white cat from his "old home."

Hearing this, the cat girl's eyes lit up. Both names sounded so beautiful.

Like those of a fairy…

"Can… can I have both?"

The cat girl looked up expectantly at Zhongli and asked.

She really liked these two names because it was the first time someone had given her a name.

And this person was her savior.

She believed Paimon and understood that Paimon acted out of compassion, saving her from danger.

But she wasn't foolish; she could tell at a glance who led the trio.

If Zhongli didn't want to save her, would Paimon's words matter?

Besides, who said you could only have one name?

Looking at the cat girl's complex eyes, full of gratitude, expectation, and a yearning for a better future, Zhongli paused, then nodded.

His divine name is Morax, and Zhongli is just one of his many aliases in the mortal world.

Having two names is not a problem.

"Then you will have the surname Xiao, given name Feilian, courtesy name Chi Yu, how about that?"

Zhongli said calmly.

He admired this stubborn cat girl, appreciating her indomitable spirit.

In the auction house, she still retained her soul, unbroken by those people.

Such a person, after ending their suffering, might achieve something in the future.

"Thank you, sir!"

The cat girl's face lit up with joy as she said quickly, "From now on, my name will be Xiao Feilian, courtesy name Chi Yu!"

She didn't quite understand what the courtesy name Chi Yu meant, but since Zhongli said it, there must be a reason, right?

At that moment, Chi Yu's wariness of Zhongli completely disappeared. How could someone who gave her a name be a bad person?

It's worth noting that many commoners didn't have surnames. For example, old Jack; he didn't have the surname Jack. Jack was just his name.

Commoners with surnames likely had ancestors who were nobles or soul masters!

"Sir…"

Suddenly, Chi Yu knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Zhongli did not dodge; this bow was well-deserved.

"I have no way to repay your and Paimon's saving grace, sir. I am willing to be a servant and maid for life, with no complaints."

Hearing this, Paimon was a bit at a loss. It was the first time she encountered such a situation.

What repayment, what being a servant or maid.

Saving her was to prevent her from becoming a servant or maid, wasn't it?

If they accepted her as a slave… how would they be different from those nobles?

Paimon, with her pure mind, didn't think in any other direction.

Tens of thousands of gold soul coins, just to buy a slave, a maid?

Obviously, things weren't that simple.

Zhongli touched his chin, thought for a moment, then helped Chi Yu up, saying, "Since you have no place to go, you can temporarily work as a maid in the mansion. If you acquire a skill someday, or if you want to leave, you can leave on your own."

If they didn't take care of her, she might soon return to the auction house, or be captured by some noble.

If you save someone, you save them all the way. Temporarily taking her in was no big deal, just another pair of chopsticks.

Hearing this, tears streamed down Chi Yu's face. She looked up, memorizing Zhongli's face, engraving it in her mind and heart.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xiao Feilian, who could also be called Xiao Chiyu or just Chiyu, had her issue resolved satisfactorily.

The outcome was good, and many staff members cast envious glances her way.

This was a titled Douluo!

Serving a titled Douluo would be worth it, even in death.

Under the gaze of the auction house staff, the four of them left the venue.

At the same time, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin also left the auction house.

"Teacher, Lord Sword Douluo."

"Xue Qinghe" was the first to salute Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin nodded, not finding it surprising.

"Xue Qinghe" was very particular about these courtesies.

They had no issue, but Xiao Wu was not feeling good at all!

Goodness, she had already felt that this old man was looking at her oddly before, and now it turned out he was a titled Douluo!

Xiao Wu was on the verge of tears. She had finally come out with Tang San, only to run into two titled Douluos.

Such luck…

She feared she wouldn't be able to leave today.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, full of reluctance, but said nothing more.

Tang San was also surprised. He had never imagined these two would hold such high statuses!

The teacher of the crown prince?

He had met "Xue Qinghe" before and had some conflicts then.

Lord Sword Douluo?

Who else in the entire Douluo Continent could be referred to as Lord Sword Douluo?

The identities of these two were now obvious.

Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

Chen Xin, the Supreme Elder of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

"Greetings, Your Highness Crown Prince!"

"Xue Qinghe" respected them, so they had to respect him in turn. Why?

Because "Xue Qinghe" respected teachers and the strong.

But he was also the crown prince!

Even if they didn't salute, they had to address him as the crown prince.

Even if Ning Fengzhi was "Xue Qinghe's" teacher, this was necessary.

"Greetings, Lord Zhongli."

Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands towards Zhongli and said.

As for Chen Xin, he nodded towards Zhongli as a greeting.

"It's been over half a month since we last met, Sect Master Ning is as impressive as ever."

Zhongli cupped his hands and said calmly.

"Lord Zhongli, I missed you very much when you were not in Heaven Dou City recently."

After the pleasantries, Ning Fengzhi glanced at Chiyu and said, "The young lady is fortunate to be able to accompany Lord and listen to his wise words…"

Zhongli: "…"

Ning Fengzhi's words were pleasant and flawless.

One couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

Ning Fengzhi wanted to say more, but Chen Xin's lips moved slightly, seemingly transmitting a message. In an instant, Ning Fengzhi's expression changed, his pupils shrinking.

He slightly turned his head, instinctively looking at Xiao Wu.

As if remembering something, he glanced at Zhongli again, and seeing that Zhongli's gaze wasn't on Xiao Wu, he let out a sigh of relief.

Competing with this person, even if they won, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't fare well.

"Sect Master Ning, Grandpa Chenxin, we were just about to go to the Seven Treasures Hotel for a meal. Would you like to join us?"

"No…"
