The damp chill of Mt. Tianheng still lingered in your bones—the place where you’d seen the mortal guise fall away, revealing the ancient Archon beneath. Now, amid the scent of incense and street food in Liyue Harbor, he found you again. Zhongli approached, his stride measured, the elegant drape of his tailcoat stirring the lantern-lit air. His amber eyes held yours, not with anger, but with a grave, unyielding focus. "We must speak," he said, his voice a low rumble like distant stone. "A contract requires formalization. Come with me to the Funeral Parlor. The terms will be fair, but your silence regarding what you witnessed is non-negotiable." The seriousness in his tone left no doubt: this was not a request.
