"Lord Gan Yu, Miss Shen He."
After inviting the big shots I know, it's time for the ordinary folks to join in.
The seven stars of Liyue, with Tianquan as the most revered.
"Lord Ningguang."
Ningguang wrote out her own invitation and put it into the pile of invitations she had just received. This invitation was to be delivered by Rick; she couldn't just write it down and take it away herself.
Next, Ningguang wrote out the remaining seven stars, including Keqing.
That's all for now. As for the other people Riku knows in Liyue, those are not things Ningguang wrote about.
Rick packed his things away, planning to send out invitations after tomorrow's Lantern Festival.
Hu Tao's eyes lit up when she came out of the screening room...
……
"They're sending out invitations!" Hu Tao said, pulling Zhong Gui aside as they returned to the Rebirth Hall.
"Peach, you're not sixteen yet..."
Zhong Gui knew what Hu Tao wanted to say, but the year had only just begun. Although Hu Tao was said to be sixteen years old, her birthday hadn't arrived yet; she was at most fifteen and a half.
"Peach, we're still too young."
Hu Tao thought about it and agreed.
But she was also somewhat unwilling. There were several people in the house, and there were people outside eyeing them covetously. If things continued like this, she was afraid she might end up under the bed...
Probably not?
After considering various factors, Hu Tao realized that she still had the biggest advantage.
They were childhood sweethearts with a strong bond. His father watched him grow up and was essentially his adoptive father, giving him a powerful backing.
In terms of strength, I'm not afraid of anyone in Teyvat right now!
Including the gods!
"Shall we wait a little longer?"
"Let's talk about it when he's eighteen in two years," Zhong Gui said firmly.
Be a good youth in the new era, don't mistreat minors...
Gan Yu and Shen He were somewhat interested, but Hu Tao hadn't made it yet, so they had to wait. They understood the importance of first come, first served.
……
Eat on Huyan Street.
"What is this?" Fujimaru Ritsuka held a piece of jade and examined it closely.
“Senior, the energy inside is so powerful.” Mashu bent over and stared at the jade.
"I'm back... Eh eh eh!!! What's this!? Where did you guys come from!?" Roman walked over carrying a bunch of snacks, and was surprised when he saw the jade in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand. "I don't remember giving you this."
Roman recognized this thing; it was the Eye of God.
He's tried drawing from the chat gacha pool a lot, and everyone says there's a guaranteed Divine Eye, but he hasn't gotten it yet.
"Doctor, do you recognize this?"
“This is the Eye of God…” Roman explained the object in a few words, then asked, “Where did you get it?”
How come you suddenly have a divine eye just because I went out for a few minutes to buy snacks?
Mashu: "Someone just delivered it. By the way, that person was dressed a lot like Mr. Zhong Gui."
“They look so alike, we almost mistook one for the other,” Fujimaru Ritsuka continued.
“Morax…” Roman knew who the other party was: the one with the same name as the demon god he once commanded, the leader of Liyue.
"Why did he give you this...?"
"That gentleman chatted with the senior for a bit, and it seemed like he saw something in the senior while listening to his sermon, so he gave this to the senior."
Mashu glanced at the jade in Fujimaru 4.7 Ritsuka's hand, "Then this thing started to glow and turned into this."
Roman looked at Ritsuka's hair. "Her hair hasn't changed color. So the news was false after all."
When he was playing the game, he noticed that all the Rock-type characters except for Violet had some white hair. They even discussed someone's white hair fetish, so it seems that's not entirely true.
"Alright, let's go back. We're busy tomorrow..."
"Doctor, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival!"
"We're not here to celebrate!"
"Can we postpone it for another day?"
"Then...just one day?"
"Yeah—!" x2.
P.S.: Why is it necessary to get Shubi? Why is a harem so essential? And another thing, besides Shubi and Shiro, how many girls does the protagonist give away? If you'd say those two count too, then I have nothing to say…
P.S.: Happy Valentine's Day! Please subscribe, recommend, vote for me, and give me flowers!
Chapter 155 Good Morning, Lantern Festival
Good morning, Liyue Harbor.
Good morning, Lantern Festival.
Joyful New Year celebrations, fireworks light up the sky. Golden dragons soar through the heavens, six auspicious signs grace the fields.
Firecrackers crackle to welcome the New Year, witty couplets adorn doors. Laughter fills the air, delicious dishes grace the table. Conversations flow freely, lights illuminate the waning night. Children flaunt their new clothes, a refreshing scene as the old year gives way to the new.
The Lantern Festival is the true New Year for Liyue. Before dawn, Liyue Harbor is already bustling with joy.
"Get up."
Zhong Gui pulled at Hu Tao's blanket, and everyone in the ancestral hall except Hu Tao got up.
Zhongli went to the floating island to chat with the immortals. Ganyu got up, greeted everyone, and then went to the Moon Sea Pavilion after offering New Year's greetings.
Zhong Gui led Shen He into Hu Tao's room and began to pull at the blankets.
"Walnut, wake up! It's the Lantern Festival!"
"Let me sleep a little longer!"
Zhong Gui pulled down, while Hu Tao pulled up, covering their heads completely.
I played until 1 or 2 a.m. yesterday, and now it's still dark and I have to get up.
"No work today, I'm not getting up!" Hu Tao mumbled from under the covers.
"I made an agreement with the old man today; he has to give out red envelopes!"
Hu Tao stopped pulling the blanket.
04 "Think it through, the money will come back!"
Hu Tao, who was on the bed, suddenly threw off the blanket and stood up. "Change your clothes!"
Zhong Gui chuckled and helped Hu Tao take off her pajamas to change her clothes. After she was dressed, Shen He had already prepared the toiletries.
"Gulp~ Pfft, ha~" Walnut wiped her mouth. "Tell me, what kind of red envelopes are we sending?"
“I told the old man that it’s the Lantern Festival and he should give out lucky money.”
"New Year's money?"
Liyue has the concept of red envelopes, but there is no such thing as New Year's money.
“It’s used to ward off evil spirits. New Year’s money is given to children. When demons try to harm them, the children can use this money to bribe them and turn bad luck into good.”
Zhong Gui felt a pang of regret; he had forgotten to ask his elders for money before, since they weren't as wealthy as he was. Now that he thought about it, they just didn't have Mora, not anything else.
Hu Tao was stunned by Zhong Gui's words, as if she was wondering if she, as the head of the Rebirth Hall and a proper deity, needed to ward off evil spirits.
Do we need it? Do we need it? Yes!
Hu Tao led Zhong Gui and Shen He out in a menacing manner. If they could break even on one Mora today, they would consider it a profit!
Where did Zhongli go?
"Floating Island".
"go!"
The three flew out of Liyue Harbor, invisible to the air traffic control order, and headed into the sky.
Upon arriving at the floating island, Zhong Gui saw a group of children.
Walnut: "Don't they ever sleep?"
She wouldn't have gotten up if she hadn't wanted to see the return on her investment. How come these kids got up so quickly?
"Maybe it's because they just arrived, or maybe they're full of energy... In any case, they're still very active." Hearing Hu Tao's voice, Roman yawned and said, then nodded to Zhong Gui and the others, "Good morning."
"morning."
"Good morning, big brother, happy Lantern Festival."
