Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"So, what did you do to make the Liyue Immortal so scared when he saw you?"

As they continued walking towards Liyue Harbor, Sophia asked Luo Chaya.

Luo Chaya blinked and said with a smile: "Nothing! I didn't do anything! It's just that they can't bear it. I promise, I just did something normal and a little abnormal!"

"It's normal to do something abnormal, how can you say that?" Sophia knocked on Luo Chaya's head, "What exactly happened?"

Luo Chaya rubbed her head and told Sophia everything she had done during the Lantern Festival.

After listening to Luo Chaya's story, Sophia sighed helplessly, "You..."

"Hey, don't scold me if you want to. Nashida did the same thing!" Luo Chaya quickly pulled Nashida over to use as a shield.

"Eh? Aunt?" Nashida looked at Luo Chaya blankly, and her expression changed from blank to shocked.

"Hehe, let's go together." Luo Chaya smiled with an expression that said, "I can't die alone."

"Each one is more troublesome than the other!" Sophia sighed. She couldn't bear to scold Luo Chaya or Nashida.

"I discovered something very important." Zhong Yue, who was following behind, whispered to Apep on the side.

Apep glanced at Zhong Yue and said, "What else can your little head find that's important?"

"..."

Zhong Yue said to her: "I discovered that Sophia is the special attack weapon to deal with Luo Chaya!"

"That's a good discovery. Don't make the same discovery again next time." Apep hummed and commented.

Everyone left the Layered Abyss and soon returned to Liyue Harbor. At this time, the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor were decorated with Lantern Festival decorations, and people were laughing and talking, and it was lively and bustling.

After walking across the bridge, Luo Chaya subconsciously looked towards the "Three Bowls, No Crossing the Harbor".

As expected, I saw a social outcast.

"Eh? Isn't that Mora... uh, what's his name? Oh, Zhongli, why is he here, what a coincidence!" Sophia also noticed Zhongli sitting there, and hurriedly said to Luo Chaya.

Zhongli also saw everyone. He put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and walked over here.

Ying and Paimon waved and greeted Zhongli.

After Zhongli walked in front of Luo Chaya and the others, she slowly said, "Is this the only place where you can refresh? Every time I come back from here, I can see you slacking off here..."

"No, I'm not being lazy!" Zhongli shook his head and said, "I'm just here to listen to Mr. Tian's storytelling. It's very interesting."

Luo Chaya: “…”

Isn't this just being lazy?

Zhongli looked at Sophia who was standing next to Luo Chaya and said slowly, "Long time no see. Welcome back, old friend."

Seeing Sophia, Zhongli was very calm. Although his memory had been modified by the World Tree before, he had lived long enough to witness the ancient Sumeru, and he knew that the Great Compassion Tree King could not be the name of a tree told to him by his memory.

He knew there was something wrong with his memory.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhongli, I'm Sophia." Sophia introduced her name to Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded slightly, and then said to Luo Chaya, "You came back just in time. Xianyun just came back from the Layered Rock Abyss. I think she should have seen you, right?"

Luo Chaya hummed and said, "I haven't even seen her yet, and she ran away as soon as she saw us. She is really a wind-fighting person, just like Wendy!"

Zhongli was also somewhat helpless, and Luo Chaya then asked: "By the way, has Wendy been here?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "I've never been here."

"Where on earth has he been? Does it take so long to prepare a gift of apology?" Luo Chaya frowned, a little confused.

"Apologize? What's going on?" Sophia didn't know what happened between Luo Chaya and Wendy. When she heard her say that, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well... Mr. Wendy spread a rumor that Mr. Zhongli eloped with my aunt, and Mr. Zhongli beat him up. I haven't seen him since then." Before Luo Chaya could explain to Sophia, Nashida said it directly.

Sophia was shocked when she heard this. She looked at Luo Chaya in surprise and said, "Are you guys playing such a big game?"

Luo Chaya: “…”

Sophia shook her head and said, "Why treat it as a rumor? Why don't you just make it real?"

Luo Chaya: "...Don't think I won't fight you just because you just resurrected!"

"Huh?" Sophia blinked and looked at Luo Chaya with a smile.

Zhongli sighed, "I haven't seen Luo Chaya get so frustrated in a long time. You have the ability to discipline her."

"Revolutionary friendship is gone just like that!" Luo Chaya gave Zhongli a thumbs up, then pressed it down, "I despise you!"

Apep and Zhong Yue were standing a little further away. She lowered her head and said to Zhong Yue, "Is this your Liyue's Geo God? I think he's just average."

"Who do you think is extraordinary?" Zhong Yue asked back.

"Of course it's the great Dragon King." Apep answered directly.

Zhong Yue: “Haha.”

Zhongli still had that calm smile on his face. He said to Sophia, "You haven't been here for a long time. Liyue is very different from a thousand years ago. Take this opportunity to go around."

"That's great! With you here, there's no need to find a tour guide." Sophia said to Zhongli with a smile.

“The one over there, come along too. This is your first visit to Liyue, so let me lead the way.” Zhongli also took on the responsibility of a tour guide and said to Apep over there.

"Tsk... You're not surprised to see me!" Apep was surprised at Zhongli's calmness.

Luo Chaya continued, "I told him a long time ago that I would bring you here. What's so surprising about that?"

"You are very brave to let me, a Dragon King, enter Liyue." Apep looked at Zhongli and said slowly.

Zhongli looked at her and said slowly, "No, I just trust you."

After hearing Zhongli's words, anyone with a bit of shame would probably not do anything.

Apep curled his lips and said, "You are worthy of being the God of Business. You are so eloquent."

"Shouldn't I be the one who is good at speaking?" Luo Chaya pointed at herself and said to Apepu.

Zhongli led everyone to Liyue Harbor. Sophia looked at the present Liyue Harbor and was filled with emotion. "It has really changed a lot! It is almost nothing like the Liyue Harbor a thousand years ago."

"Yes, everything in Liyue is changing." Zhongli nodded.

"Our era is finally over." Sophia lamented the fleeting time.

Luo Chaya asked in a dull tone: "Should I join in the reminiscence of the past and the sadness of the present?"
