Genshin Impact: A Scattered Soldier Traveling Back in Time

The next day, Yan and his group were walking on the street. After what happened yesterday, Kong decided to wait until Yan was ready before going to Inazuma.

There were crowds of people surging around, and the noise was endless. Children dressed in bright red clothes were running and playing like a group of happy elves.

Their laughter and shouts echoed throughout the streets and alleys, as if to drive away the cold winter without a trace. The adults followed closely behind, with loving smiles on their faces and eyes full of love for the innocence of the children.

Looking around, big red lanterns with auspicious patterns painted on them are hung in front of every household; spring couplets with neat parallelism and good meanings are pasted on both sides of the door frame.

These red elements bring a touch of warmth to the originally cold season and fill the entire community with a strong festive atmosphere. The light of the lanterns and the fragrance of the ink of the spring couplets interweave to form a warm and peaceful picture.

"Liyue Harbor is so lively today, is there some important festival?"

Paimon said as he looked at the festive atmosphere around him.

"It seems to be a festival in Liyue called the Lantern Festival. I think the Seven Stars of Liyue want to use this festive day to dilute the sadness brought about by the death of the Emperor." Yu thought for a moment and said.

"The Lantern Festival?" Sora looked at the happy crowd around him, "What a great festival it is!"

"Hello, we meet again."

A familiar voice came from behind him, and he turned around to see Wendy. Tevarin was still lying on his head as usual.

When Tevarin saw him looking at him, he stretched out his little paw and waved.

Ying nodded slightly in response.

"Singer, why are you here?" Paimon said when he saw Wendy with her hands on her hips.

"Shouldn't you be receiving education in the Mondstadt Knights now?"

"Haha, I heard something interesting on the wind, so I came to take a look." Wendy said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that someone would eat his own meal."

Wendy said as she looked behind her, where Zhongli was shopping and Tartaglia was following him like a follower, helping Zhongli pay.

Of course, the bills were sent to the North Country Bank, as Tartaglia himself did not have that much money.

Zhongli: When you go to an opera, you should order the most famous actress; when you walk your bird, you should buy the most expensive thrush. This is life. If you don’t have money, just find a wallet.

Tartaglia: Mr. Zhongli is right. It’s not my money that is being spent anyway.

At this time, Zhongli heard Wendy's teasing and stopped what he was doing.

"From a common sense point of view, it is indeed strange to eat your own table."

"Hello, friends, we meet again." Tartaglia greeted them.

"Why do you always follow Zhongli?" Paimeng was extremely confused.

"Of course it's for diplomacy. After the incident at the Jade Pavilion, the Seven Stars of Liyue have been putting a lot of pressure on the Fatui. Of course I have to find an excuse to escape."

Tartaglia laughed it off. He really couldn't handle the diplomatic affairs so he simply left it all to his subordinates.

"Mate, do you want to have a good fight?" Tartaglia stared at Yan with burning eyes.

During this trip to Liyue, Tartaglia did nothing. He just walked around Liyue like a circus clown and completed his mission. He then had to stay behind to clean up the mess.

Well, the reason he stayed was completely because those people from Zhidong didn't want him to go back. Who could stand them fighting with them every day?

"I've told you before, I have no interest in bullying the weak." Ying shook his head and rejected Tartaglia again.

"Forget it, sir. Since Young Master Xun has no intention of sparring with you, don't force it." Zhongli stopped Tartaglia who was about to say something.

"Okay, since Mr. Zhongli said so, let's just forget it this time." Tartaglia shook his head with some regret.

"I won't bother you any more. I hope you have a good time at the Lantern Festival."

After saying that, Zhongli took his wallet and left.

"The old man is gone. Every time he was around, the atmosphere always seemed to become unusually serious," Wendy joked.

Tevarin above him complained, "Do you think everyone is as humble as you?"

"I heard that there is a rock dragon in Liyue, it seems to be called Ruota Dragon King. I wonder if there is a chance to see it."

Tevarin thought of his counterparts in Liyue. To be honest, there are too few dragons in Teyvat now. He really wanted to see what the rock dragon looked like.

"Since they are all dragons, they should look similar to Tevarin, right?" Paimon said after thinking for a while.

"Maybe." Tevarin was not very sure. He had never seen any other dragon except the magic dragon Durin since he was born.

Wendy had a strange expression on his face. He thought about the appearance of the Dragon King Rudra, and then thought about the appearance of Tevarin, and tried to overlap them...

Hey, Wendy shook her head and quickly got rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.

Tevarin was caught off guard and thrown away. He steadied himself in the air, flew to Wendy and grabbed his hair.

"Barbatos, what are you doing? You threw me away and I almost fell to the ground, did you know that?"

"Hey, hey, hey, I was wrong. Don't pull my hair, Tevarin." Wendy begged for mercy.

"Has he always been like this?" Paimon looked at Yan speechlessly.

Kong also looked at the scene with curiosity.

"You'll get used to it." Yan said calmly.

"By the way, you guys should go check on Xiao. The kid should still be alone in Wangshu Inn." Wendy said while battling with Tevarin, "It's a happy festival and we should stay with our friends, right?"

"Good singing, then we'll go to Wangshu Inn, you can have fun here by yourself."

After that, everyone walked towards Wangshu Inn, leaving Wendy alone there to compete with Tevarin in wits and courage. Suddenly, Wendy shouted.

When the group looked back, they saw Tevarin biting Wendy's hand, making him grimace in pain.

Everyone's mouth twitched and they ignored the two of them.

Wangshu Inn

"Xiao, are you there?"

Paimon opened his mouth and called for Xiao, but there was no sign of him for a long time.

"Isn't Xiao here?"

After feeling it for a while, he felt that Xiao had just finished clearing out the monsters and was resting, so he would not come over for a while.

"Let me try," Kong thought of what Xiao said before, "Xiao, are you there?"

"what's up?"

Xiao suddenly appeared and looked at Sora and said.

Heng looked at him in surprise. Are you so hypocritical?

Xiao noticed the look in Zheng's eyes and turned his head away awkwardly, his cheeks slightly red and he felt a little embarrassed.

Heng looked at Sora who had an innocent face, then looked at Xiao and Paimon who were looking at each other and both of them showed playful smiles at the same time.

At this time, only Kong was still kept in the dark. He thought that Xiao had just arrived and heard his call.

"Nothing, I just want to invite you to go to Liyue Harbor to participate in the Lantern Festival." Kong looked at Xiao with anticipation and said.

Xiao was silent for a moment and then declined, "Since there is a difference between humans and immortals, I won't go. You guys go by yourselves. Besides, I don't like noisy places."

"Then it should be okay for us to light the sky lantern together not far away, right?" Kong looked at Xiao and smiled.

"Yes," Xiao agreed, his cheeks turning even redder.

Kong looked innocent and thought that Xiao was just too tired after clearing out the monsters.

Yan and Paimon were laughing secretly on the side. These two were having so much fun.

At night, everyone sat on the top of Tianheng Mountain and looked at the brightly lit Liyue Harbor.

The sky lanterns rose up like stars and gradually flew into the sky, like a long dragon flashing faint light.

"I heard that making a wish to the Xiao Lantern at this time will be very effective." Paimon said excitedly.

"Ha, childish."

Both Heng and Xiao looked uninterested.

"How about everyone make a wish? There's no harm in trying it anyway." Kong looked at the two expectantly and said.

"Okay..." said Yan helplessly.

Xiao nodded, indicating his agreement.

Everyone closed their eyes and began to make a wish.

"What is your wish? Paimon wished for lots of delicious food." Paimon said excitedly.

"I hope to find my sister soon," Sora responded.

"Hehe, the wish won't come true if you say it out loud, right, Xiao?" Heng said calmly.

"Is there such a saying?" Xiao fell into deep thought, "Then I won't say anything."

"Oh, so cunning."
