Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"Oh, I really envy you, Luo Chaya. Your family members are so good to you!" Wendy sighed after reading the contents of the letter.

"Yes." Ying also nodded and said to Luo Chaya: "Although I have never met the new water god, I heard that she is not very capable and needs others to take care of her. It is really thoughtful of her to make this snack for you."

"You'd better not let Funina hear this, otherwise she will cry and make a fuss." Luo Chaya said to Ying helplessly.

"By the way, the Supreme Judge also asked me to bring you a message." After Zhongli came back from Fontaine, he seemed to have turned into a messenger. He said to Luo Chaya, "He said that he will take care of the Fontaine matter in the near future. People have been sent to Baisong Town and other low-lying areas to keep an eye on them. Don't worry. Finally, he asked you to be careful."

"He cares about you a lot, Luo Chaya." Wendy still had a smile on her face.

Hearing the teasing in Wendy's words, Luo Chaya rolled her eyes at him, and then said to everyone, "Would you like to taste my Funina's cooking?"

"Eh? Is it okay? She made this specially for you." Zhen looked at Luo Chaya in surprise.

Luo Chaya nodded and said, "It's okay."

She opened the snack box and distributed the small cakes inside to everyone present, even Zhongli got a piece.

"Eat something and tell me what you think." Luo Chaya said to Zhongli.

"Hmm! Delicious! Goes well with wine!" Wendy talked about wine every other sentence. After eating such delicious snacks, the first thing she thought of was to drink it with wine.

Zhen just took a sip, then nodded and said, "Not bad! Much better than Ying's craftsmanship... No, Ying doesn't have any craftsmanship, only martial arts."

"Sister!" Ying was behind Zhen, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed.

"Well... this little cake is dense and soft, with a minty scent. It's rare for a girl like Funina to be able to achieve this level." Zhongli's comment was the most normal. The second half of his sentence couldn't help but sigh that a girl like Funina would actually cook for Luo Chaya.

It was obvious that she didn't know Luo Chaya's true identity yet.

"Thank you!" Luo Chaya thanked several people, feeling like her own child has made progress.

After putting aside the matter of Funina, Zhongli asked again: "You all came to Liyue to participate in the Moon Chasing Festival, right? How do you feel?"

Zhen smiled and said, "It's fun! This is my first time participating in Liyue's Moon Chasing Festival!"

Ying also agreed, "Yes, it's my first time participating. But it's very interesting, especially the food, it's delicious!"

“Alas, you guys don’t have as much experience as I do when it comes to this!” Wendy laughed and said to the others, “I have participated in many Liyue festivals! Let me tell you, the atmosphere of Liyue’s festivals nowadays is very different from the past!”

Zhongli rarely refrained from scolding Venti. He nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, Liyue today is very different from the past, both in terms of society and the atmosphere towards festivals. But I had expected this kind of change."

“Now that you mention it, I’m looking forward to what the festival in Liyue will be like a hundred years from now.” Zhen said to everyone with a smile.

Luo Chaya said: "Then let's meet here again in a hundred years!"

A hundred years of time was so easy for the people present to mention.

"It's a deal." Zhen looked at Luo Chaya, then at Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded and said, "You are most welcome."

"That's great! I'll go bury a few bottles of good wine now and open them at this party a hundred years from now!" Wendy continued.

The gathering of old friends ended as the sky darkened.

Before leaving, Luo Chaya looked at Wendy and asked, "Are you going back to Mondstadt overnight?"

After hearing her question, Wendy smiled mysteriously and said, "Of course not! Don't worry, I have plenty of places to stay!"

"Indeed, with the ability of a great poet, he can sleep on mountain paths or in tree branches in the forest." Zhongli agreed with Wendy.

Luo Chaya: “…”

Well, it starts again.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first." Luo Chaya waved at the two of them, and then walked towards the Qun Yu Pavilion with the sisters Zhen and Ying.

After the Moon Festival, Luo Chaya fulfilled her promise to Ying and Paimon and went with them to the Layered Abyss to investigate the situation inside. I heard that this was a mission issued by the Adventurer's Association, so Ying took it by the way.

In this way, he could receive commission fees from both the Liyue Seven Stars and the Adventurer's Association.

Win-win.

The three of them set out from Liyue Harbor and walked along the road towards the Layered Chasm.

After being interrogated by the outer Thousand Rocks Army, the three finally entered the Layered Rock Abyss. When they were actually inside and saw the Layered Rock Abyss, Luo Chaya couldn't help but sigh at its grandeur.

Ying took Luo Chaya and Paimeng to find a miner named Yuehui and told him the purpose of their visit. "Can you tell us what strange things happened in the Layered Abyss?"

Yue Hui thought for a moment and said to the three of them, "Some time ago, one of our brothers was resting when he suddenly saw a few hillbillies passing by in a trance. Moreover, these hillbillies did not even look at him, but went straight into the depths of the Layered Rock Abyss. So, that brother began to pay special attention to this situation and found that it happened frequently!"

"It doesn't seem so scary that the Hilichurls come into the Layered Abyss, right? Aren't there so many Hilichurls in this place?" Paimeng looked at Yuehui in confusion.

Yue Hui shook his head and continued, “This is not the most important thing! My brother found that the hillbillies who came to the Layered Abyss never came out again after entering!”

"W-what? Never came out again?" After hearing Yue Hui's words, Paimeng shuddered and hid behind Luo Chaya, "Luo Chaya, you are awesome, please protect me a little more."

Luo Chaya: “…”

"Could it be that those Hillilks were attracted by something deep in the Abyss?" Ying turned her head and looked into the depths of the Abyss. Below the huge dark hole was a very vast underground world. What was hidden in that world?

"Instead of thinking about it, why not go and take a look!" Luo Chaya said to Ying who was thinking hard. She said to Yuehui, "Please tell us where you saw those hillbillies. We will investigate."

"Okay! Okay!" Yue Hui nodded quickly and told Luo Chaya and others the places that needed to be investigated.

Afterwards, Luo Chaya took Ying and Paimeng directly to the place Yuehui mentioned.

The three of them went deep into the rock abyss and came to the place where Yue Hui said his miner brother saw those hillbillies, and they also saw that extremely shocking and weird scene.
