Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"Even if the world changes, we will not break the contract, even though it has been thousands or tens of thousands of years!" Xiao's expression was very serious, he said to Zhongli seriously.

Behind him, immortals such as Xianyun and Ping'er also nodded and said, "What the Great Sage Conquering the Demon said is also what we think. Although the Emperor no longer rules Liyue, our duty to protect Liyue remains unchanged! Let's see how far the Seven Stars of Liyue can go in the era of human rule!"

Xianyun went on to say, "After a while, I will move to Liyue Harbor and take a good look at Liyue today."

Zhongli hummed and said, "That's fine."

"It's getting late, so I'll take Qiqi with me and leave first. If my Lotiya can't find me, she'll definitely go crazy looking for people to ask questions on the street again!" Luo Chaya said goodbye to everyone and said to Ying, "When you're in Liyue, come to the Qun Yu Pavilion to play with me when you have time!"

"Okay!" Ying and Paimon both nodded.

……

The matter of the Geo King's death has come to an end, and the work of the Liyue Seven Stars has gradually returned to normal. The entire Liyue Harbor is also recovering in an orderly manner.

Yunhan Society also released the news that Yunjin's new play is being arranged intensively, and it is believed that it will be seen by everyone in Liyue soon. Upon hearing this news, many people in Liyue who love Yunjin's plays rushed to tell each other and look forward to the performance of the new play.

On the day of the new play, the entire Yunhan Society was packed with people. Zhongli and Luochaya were arranged by Yunjin to sit in the best seats because of their special status. Shen He, as the protagonist of "The Goddess Splits the View", was also invited to attend.

"Zhongli, you are here, where is Zhongyue?" Luo Chaya asked curiously when she saw Zhongli sitting here alone.

"I heard that she and Xianyun were preparing a surprise for the Lantern Festival. Anyway, I haven't seen her in these days." Zhongli replied.

Luo Chaya frowned and thought, "She and Xianyun are preparing a surprise for the Lantern Festival? Are they planning some kind of invention? What can a bird and a dragon invent? A dragon-shaped sky lantern with wings?"

Zhongli shook his head and said, "That's unknown. I won't ask what they are doing."

"That's right." Luo Chaya nodded, then looked at Shen He and started chatting with her, "Shen He, I heard that you were also present when Mr. Yun was rehearsing?"

Shen He nodded and said, "Yes, I heard from Yun Jin that it was me who froze the raging sea waves with a single breath that day, saving her and the Qianyan Army and giving her inspiration."

"Hearing what you said, I am even more looking forward to Mr. Yun's "The Goddess Splitting the View." Zhongli, who was standing at the side, took a sip of tea and spoke slowly. He looked at Shen He and thanked her, "I also want to thank Miss Shen He for providing Mr. Yun with inspiration."

"Uh... this... I..." Shen He knew Zhong Li's identity. When she heard Zhong Li thank her, she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a place to hide. However, they were very close to the front. If there was any movement here, it would definitely attract a lot of people to watch. She had to suppress her embarrassment.

I never expected that the first victim would be Shen He.

Luo Chaya was filled with emotion.

Under everyone's expectation, Yun Jin came on stage and the drum beats on the side began.

The audience fell silent, staring at Yun Jin on the stage.

"Sigh——"

As Yun Jin's clear and melodious voice sounded, everyone was drawn into the story.

In the story, people saw the little girl, who was extremely courageous and faced the evil demons alone. They also saw her obtaining the fate of an immortal and living independently and aloof from the world like a crane.

The atmosphere reached its climax as the singing of “A high-pitched song may not be unknown to others, there will always be someone who understands and appreciates its clear lyrics” came out.

When the tune ended, there was a long and thunderous applause.

"Mr. Yun's opera is truly the best in Liyue!" Zhongli put down his teacup and clapped his hands. He then looked at Luo Chaya and asked, "Did you bring Mora with you?"

"What are you going to do?" Luo Chaya was stunned.

Zhongli said to her, "There is a tradition in Liyue. If you think someone's performance is good, you can prepare some Mora. This is called appreciation."

"Uh..." Luo Chaya looked at Zhongli and asked, "So you come out to watch a play without any money?"

"I went out today and forgot to bring my wallet." Zhongli answered very quickly and frankly, without any sign of embarrassment at all.

Seeing Zhongli acting as if it was his due, Luo Chaya felt helpless. She sighed and said to Lotia, "Lotia, how much money did we bring out?"

"Miss, we didn't bring much money with us, and don't we have to keep this money to buy you candied haws later?" Lotia subconsciously grabbed the wallet and said to Luo Chaya.

"Uh..." Luo Chaya was a little embarrassed after hearing what Lotiya said. She said, "I'll send the bill for the candied haws later. It's impossible to keep a bill for the tip money for the opera, right? Be obedient and spend it first!"

Lotia looked at Luo Chaya, then looked at Zhongli, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After taking out the salary Ningguang gave her, Luo Chaya divided the money in half and gave half to Zhongli, saying to him, “Here, this is for you.”

"Thank you. Next time, if you need any business from the Wangsheng Hall, I will talk to the hall master and give you a discount." Zhongli looked at the money handed over by Luo Chaya and thanked her.

A few black lines fell down Luo Chaya's forehead. She said, "You don't look like you want to thank me."

"I was just joking with you." Zhongli said with a smile.

"The stone bloomed? Are you kidding me?" Luo Chaya looked at him in surprise after hearing Zhongli's words.

Zhongli nodded slightly and continued, "That's natural. Living in Liyue, we naturally have to act like humans."

Luo Chaya continued, "Then please behave like a human being next time you go out and remember to bring money with you."

"Ah... I'll pay attention." Zhongli nodded.

After the Yunhan Society ended, Yun Jin came to Luo Chaya and the others for a private gathering.

Zhongli likes to drink tea, Luo Chaya likes both tea and wine, and Shen He only drinks water, so Yun Jin used tea instead of wine and toasted the three of them.

At the end, Zhongli said to Luo Chaya, "Luo Chaya, there is a banquet in Zhudian Fang tomorrow. Are you free to attend with me?"

"Zhudianfang, what is it used for?" Luo Chaya was stunned for a moment and asked back.

Zhongli replied, "It is a pleasure boat that only invitees can board. Most of the celebrities from all walks of life in Liyue gather here to drink, exchange information, etc."

"Since you said that only those invited can go up, I don't seem to be invited. Can I go?" Luo Chaya pointed at herself and asked puzzledly.
