Chapter 184 The Gods Watch Paimon Drown
The real world.
Liyue Port, Rebirth Hall.
"Cough cough cough...!"
After feeling a churning sensation in his stomach, the weakened Paimon vomited a lot of seawater.
Immediately afterward, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhongli, Xunfeng, Barbatos, the Dragon King Ruoduo, and Naxida surrounding the bed where she was lying.
Feeling the strange and oppressive atmosphere, Paimon gave an awkward laugh and then struggled to sit up.
"Why are there so many familiar faces... I think I was in the sea, how did I end up here?"
Noticing the familiar decorations of the Hall of Rebirth in the room, Paimon looked at Xunfeng with confusion.
"Your luck is pretty bad... If I hadn't arrived in time, you probably would have drowned in the sea, haha."
Recalling Paimon's helpless state just now, Xunfeng couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Oh? So it was you who saved me... Thank you. Wait, wait a minute, I'm about to drown, why are you laughing?"
Seeing Xun Feng's upturned lips, Paimon disregarded the gazes of others and pounced on him, trying to demand an explanation.
"Stop, Paimon, you planned for me to come looking for you... so you deliberately drowned, didn't you?"
"Ah... Xunfeng, what are you talking about? I'm not stupid, how could I deliberately drown... Besides, you're always running around without anyone noticing, how could anyone know where you are!"
As Paimon spoke, he excitedly crossed his arms and then gave a cold snort.
"Paimon, with so many gods present, you no longer need to hide it, do you?"
Barbatos, standing to the side, was drinking heavily while watching the spectacle with a grin, teasing Paimon.
"Oh dear... what do you mean by this! It's only been a few days, and you've all become riddle solvers! What could Paimon possibly have to hide? Stop joking with me. Ying will definitely be very worried about me when she finds out I'm missing. You need to take me back quickly; I can't let Ying worry!"
After saying that, Paimon suddenly flew up and then seriously put his hands on his hips.
"Paimon, Heliseg is looking for you to help him break through the fifth seal."
Zhongli, who couldn't bear to watch any longer, quickly spoke up and gave the answer.
"Zhongli, you're not kidding, are you...? How could I, an ordinary guide, possibly do something like this..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon tried to appear calm by scratching the back of his head and then gave a goofy smile.
“Paimon, Nasita and I saw everything you did in the cabin in the woods last time. After I learned that Heliseg’s consciousness was damaged, I guessed part of the answer. Only external stimuli could cause this situation.”
Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Naxida nodded in agreement.
"Haha... What are you guys talking about? I was just concerned about Xunfeng, so I went to check on him..."
Seeing that his identity seemed to have been exposed, Paimon had no choice but to pretend to be stupid.
"Hahaha, you guys are just joking with me because you're afraid I'll be depressed after drowning, right?"
"Paimon, I know what you're worried about... Don't worry, none of us here will reveal your identity to Ying, so please feel free to help Heliseg break the seal, okay?"
After figuring out Paimon's concerns, Zhongli asked him frankly.
