Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"No, it's okay!" Xianyun shook her head. When Jie Hu and Hou Zhang hadn't come over yet, she lowered her voice and said to Shen He, "Shen He, I'm going to cook for you today, so you have to come!"

Shen He: “…”

"Master, is this really necessary?"

Xianyun nodded, took a step back, looked at Hou Zhang and Jie Hu standing on his left and right, and said, "Of course! Even your uncles Hou Zhang and Jie Hu are coming, how can you not come!"

"Then...where is Senior Sister Ganyu?" Shen He blinked, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

After hearing Shen He's words, Xian Yun finally reacted, "Yes! And there's Gan Yu!"

"How can you be a master? How can you even forget Ganyu, such an important thing?" Jie Hu complained from the side.

Xianyun did not argue with him, but thought about it and murmured: "Today is the Lantern Festival. The General Affairs Department and Yuehai Pavilion should not have any heavy work. It should be no problem to let Ganyu come over..."

Shen He said quickly: "Then I will go and ask Senior Sister Gan Yu!"

Xianyun gave Shen He a thumbs up and said, "I was right about you, Shen He!"

On the other hand, while Xianyun was dragging more people into the water, Luo Chaya was also not idle. She was visiting Ping'er at Yujingtai.

"Ping'er, thank you for asking Yaoyao to deliver the letter, otherwise Xianyun would have almost run away." Luo Chaya and Ping'er sat on both sides of the stone table. She took a sip of tea and said to Ping'er with a smile.

"We have to be happy during the holidays!" Ping'er said to Luo Chaya with a smile, "Xianyun is always tinkering with inventions at home. It's time to find her something else to do!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Luo Chaya then said to Ping'er, "Come to think of it, do you really not want to meet that Dvorak?"

Ping Er shook her head and said, "If we keep dwelling on the past, it will only be a hindrance to the present."

"But you also said that thinking about the past all the time is just a hindrance to the present. Then what's going on with you now? Isn't the reason you look like this also because of death?" Luo Chaya looked at Ping'er, took a sip of tea, and continued.

As soon as Luo Chaya said this, Ping'er laughed. She continued, "Miss Luo Chaya, do you know the origin of Gechenlang City? I came from the mortal world, and I will return to the mortal world."

"It's hard to say whether it's the old age that causes the old age, or the old age that causes the old age of the heart..." Luo Chaya looked at Ping'er, sighed, and then said: "But I think if Gui Zhong was still alive, she would not want you to change yourself because of her. She would rather see the bright you."

After hearing Luo Chaya's words, Ping'er just smiled and didn't say much.

In the thousands of years since the Demon God War, only Luo Chaya would say these words to her. Other immortals, including Zhongli, would try not to mention these things out of consideration for her feelings.

But what Luo Chaya said does make sense.

While Ping'er was thinking, Luo Chaya noticed Shen He walking towards them from a distance, and she quickly called out, "Shen He, this way!"

Seeing Luo Chaya waving at her, and thinking that today was the Lantern Festival, Shen He took a step back, but she knew it would be rude if she ran away like this! After all, Luo Chaya was an elder!

So Shen He walked up to Luo Chaya and greeted Luo Chaya and Ping'er, "Hello, two seniors!"

"I rarely see you come here. Are you here to go shopping?" Luo Chaya asked. She looked around and said, "But there doesn't seem to be anything to go shopping here."

Shen He shook her head and said, "Master went to Qingyun Peak to invite Senior Uncle Hou Zhang and Senior Uncle Jie Hu over. I'm here to invite Senior Sister Gan Yu."

"Hou Zhang...take the tablet?" Luo Chaya blinked, a little confused.

Who is it?

"They are Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang and Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan. You have seen their human appearance, but they have never mentioned their names to you." Ping'er on the side said slowly to Luo Chaya.

"Oh! These two people!" Luo Chaya suddenly realized and understood Xianyun's plan, "It seems that she is planning to drag everyone into the water..."

“It’s just right. These two should come to Liyue less often. This year’s Lantern Festival may become the most profound day in their memories…” Ping’er continued.

Luo Chaya laughed and said to Shen He, "Then go find Gan Yu quickly. She should still be working at Yuehai Pavilion."

At this point, Luo Chaya also felt that it was rare for this kid to work all year round. Like Villette, they were the talents that Fontaine needed most! It was a pity that Ganyu was deeply bound to Liyue, and she couldn't fool him away.

Shen He respectfully bowed to the two of them, said goodbye and left to look for Ganyu.

The sun gradually moves westward and the sky gradually darkens.

After Luo Chaya estimated that the time was about right, she stood up from her chair and said to Ping'er, "Let's go, let's go to Xianyun's house for dinner!"

Ping'er smiled and shook her head. She said, "I don't need to. I'm fine here."

"Eh? You're not going?" Luo Chaya was stunned for a moment. She thought Ping'er was afraid that she would bully her, so she said, "Don't worry, I won't bully you!"

Ping'er smiled and shook her head. She said, "It's not because of this."

"It's not because of this?" Luo Chaya frowned in confusion, and then she said, "Did I make you angry?"

"No." Ping'er continued to shake her head. She slowly said to Luo Chaya, "What you said before does make sense, but any decision needs to be carefully considered. I need time to think about it."

"Time..." Luo Chaya suddenly realized, she nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll go first! I hope you can make a decision that you won't regret. No matter what decision you make, I understand!"

"Thank you very much." Ping'er nodded to Luo Chaya.

After leaving Yujingtai, Luo Chaya walked towards Xianyun's home.

In this alley, she saw Zhongli and Hutao walking towards her. Hutao was jumping in front, and Zhongli was behind, looking like an old man raising a daughter.

"Hey! Isn't this Miss Luo Chaya?" Hu Tao saw Luo Chaya, jumped up and down and waved, "Miss Luo Chaya, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" Luo Chaya greeted Hu Tao and then said, "Come in first."

After they entered, there were already quite a few people in the courtyard. Xingqiu and Chongyun gathered together to chat, while Wendy asked Jiehu and Houzhang to have a drinking contest. Zhen and Xianyun were busy in the kitchen, while Zhongyue was helping out.
