Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

As the Lantern Festival approaches, Liyue Harbor gradually becomes more lively, and every household hangs lanterns at their doorsteps.

The Mingxiao Lantern of "Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun" carved from a huge floating stone was placed in the most conspicuous position in Liyue Harbor. Everyone who raised their heads could see the huge Mingxiao Lantern.

"It's been a long time since I've walked around Liyue Harbor like this." Xiao followed behind Lotia, looking up at the now prosperous Liyue Harbor, feeling a lot of emotion. The Yaksha clan fought for the prosperity of Liyue, and the prosperity of Liyue now is the best reward for him...

No, it is the best reward for their brothers and sisters.

"The lady said that you haven't been to Liyue Harbor for a long time, so you must not be familiar with it. So she asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."

Lottia walked with Xiao and talked. She shook the purse in her hand and said, "I brought a lot of Mora. You can eat whatever you want. If it's not enough, I'll send the bill to the Northland Bank."

"Uh... that's not necessary, right? I don't really like eating other things..." Xiao looked at Lotia and said with his head down.

Lotia looked him up and down and said, "You are a Liyue immortal, why are you so shy?"

Xiao argued: "I'm not shy, I'm just not used to it..."

"you……"

Seeing him like this, Lotia sighed and said, "You don't listen to my lady, but you should listen to your emperor, right? Your emperor said that you should listen to my lady's arrangements in everything! And my lady asked me to take you with me, so you have to listen to my arrangements, understand?"

A black line fell from Xiao's forehead, and he nodded helplessly, "I... understand."

"Let's go. I'll take you to eat my lady's favorite candied haws."

Lottia took Xiao to a stall.

Xiao seemed to have accepted his fate and followed behind Lotia.

In the Wangsheng Hall, Luo Chaya was preparing a dinner with Hu Tao and Xiang Ling. Hu Tao kept mumbling, "I was planning to hold this dinner at Xinyue Pavilion, but they told me it was fully booked. What a bad year! We have no choice but to hold it at Wangsheng Hall."

"It doesn't matter. I think it doesn't matter where we are. The most important thing is that we all have fun together!" Xiangling said to Hu Tao with a smile.

"Yes, Xiangling is right." Luo Chaya nodded in agreement.

Hu Tao helped to carry the dishes. When she saw Zhong Li sitting there, she said, "Keqing, what's wrong with you? Don't you see that Miss Luo and Xiangling are busy? You are sitting there alone. You are so ungentlemanly!"

"Ah! It was my negligence. The hall master was right to remind me." Zhongli immediately stood up and walked over here.

As soon as he came over, he took up most of the space in the kitchen.

"Uh...you're too big, you'd better go out and wait." Luo Chaya looked up at Zhongli and asked him to go out.

Zhongli also nodded and said, "Well, from a universal point of view, you are right."

Hu Tao watched Zhong Li come out again and sat down, speechless, "Guest, you really are..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, it's getting late, I have to go see if the guests have arrived!"

"Guests? Who else is coming?" Xiangling asked curiously.

"Xingqiu, Chongyun, and the legendary traveler and her companions who fought alongside the God of Wind in Mondstadt and thwarted the evil conspiracy in Liyue Harbor! Hey, they seem to be Miss Luo's friends too, right?" Hu Tao poked her head out and looked at Luo Chaya in the kitchen.

Luo Chaya nodded and said, "Yes, my friends Ying and Paimeng. Um... In addition to them, I also have a few friends coming, who are also Zhongli's friends, Xianyun and Zhongyue, and Shenhe."

"Haha, the Hall of Rebirth is so lively today!" Hu Tao laughed and went out to wait for people.

Luo Chaya placed the food on the table, then looked at Zhongli who was still sitting there and asked, "Are you really going to leave Wendy out here alone?"

There was a special scent in the wind of Liyue today. She and Zhongli both felt the pure and warm wind blowing from Mondstadt, and they also knew that Venti had set foot in Liyue Harbor.

"No, I simply ignored him." Zhongli shook his head and said seriously.

"Uh..." Luo Chaya was a little helpless. This was something Zhongli would do to Wendy. She sighed and continued, "Then you take care of the food. I'll go help Xiangling."

"Okay." Zhongli nodded.

Soon, Xiangling had prepared a sumptuous meal, and Hu Tao came in with the others.

Zhong Yue was holding a palace lantern in her hand and looking around. When she saw Zhong Li sitting not far away, she walked towards him.

"Hey, Zhongli! Look what I bought! Doesn't it look good?" Zhong Yue waved the palace lantern in front of him. "Your name is on the bill, so don't be polite with me."

"Hmm...not bad." Zhongli looked at this exquisitely crafted palace lantern and nodded.

As soon as Xianyun entered the room, he was a little dazed when he saw Zhongli over there, but he soon recovered and nodded to him with a smile, and then sat down with Shen He. After Shen He sat down, he seemed more reserved.

Luo Chaya invited everyone to take a seat, "Come, come, come, sit down. Today, Hall Master Hu is the host, and we are all guests!"

Hu Tao nodded and said, "That's right! Today, the hall master invites you all to dinner. Don't be shy. Please take a seat!"

After almost everyone sat down, Hu Tao looked around and asked, "Hey, Miss Luo, where is your attendant?"

"She, she went to ask the Great Sage to subdue demons!" Luo Chaya replied.

"The Great Saint who conquers demons!" After hearing Luo Chaya's words, Hu Tao's eyes widened in surprise, "Miss Luo is also related to the immortals?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just met him on the way to Liyue Harbor. I thought I'd try to invite him to come over to celebrate the festival with us this time to make it lively." Luo Chaya waved her hand and answered with a smile.

As they were talking, Lottia came in with Xiao, "Miss, we are back!"

When Hu Tao saw Xiao behind Lottia, she quickly came forward and welcomed him with a smile, "Oh my, the Great Sage who conquers demons has come to visit us. It really brings honor to our Wangsheng Hall!"

"Yes, it is our honor to have the Great Sage Subduing Demons visit the Hall of Rebirth." Zhongli stood up and said to Xiao.

elf:"……"

He said he shouldn't have come.

Luo Chaya also bowed and said, "Sir, please come this way."

Zhong Yue looked at Luo Chaya, then at Zhong Li, and then smiled. She ran to Xiao's side, tugged at his clothes, and said to him, "Brother Shangxian, come with me. I'll take you to find a seat."

elf:"!"

Forget it, the karma from this meal is going to kick in.

Xianyun looked at Xiao with eyes full of sympathy and she was filled with emotion.
