By the time everyone had finished enjoying themselves, it was already getting dark.

Even the taciturn Xiao and the introverted and shy Gan Yu were slightly tipsy at this moment.

Zhongli spoke up: "Let's call it a day."

No one objected, and they all took their leave.

Liu Yun and A Ping had been separated from Gui Zhong for a long time, so they naturally had a lot to say to each other and agreed to have a heart-to-heart talk tonight.

The True Lord of Carving the Moon and Building the Sun and the True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacking Mountains also departed together.

Gan Yu returned to Yuehai Pavilion to work overtime and finish the work that had been delayed. Xiao went back to Dihuazhou to continue hoeing the fields. Yan Fei, feeling that she was a junior and couldn't get a word in edgewise, took her leave early.

Only Li Xiao, Zhong Li, and Wendy remained as the three idle gods present.

Wendy leaned on Zhongli's shoulder, exhaling a breath reeking of alcohol, and asked curiously, "By the way, Zhongli, who are you planning to revive first?"

Zhongli glanced at him with a hint of disdain, but still replied, "It's probably 'Shifting the Heavens and Guiding the Sky'."

Li Xiao asked, puzzled, "Why not revive them all at once? It's not like you can only revive one at a time."

Wendy was a little surprised. "Can there be more people together?"

Zhongli said happily, "In that case, I will revive Yixiao Daotian, Minghai Qixia, and the four Yaksha generals together next time. However, this will have to wait until after the Sending-Off-Immortals Ceremony."

Aping, Liuyun, Ganyu, Yanfei, plus the two spots for Guizhong, make a total of six, which is just right.

Wendy pleaded, "Grandpa, why don't you take my share too? I want to resurrect a mortal, so it won't be a big deal for you, right?"

"No, figure it out yourself."

Zhong Li resolutely refused.

Wendy immediately clung to his arm and pleaded, "Please! Help me!"

Li Xiao thought it was Klee possessing him because of his tone.

"roll!"

Zhongli couldn't stand him anymore, so she kicked him away.

Li Xiao also made a request, "Speaking of which, I want to revive Agoria. Can I entrust her to you? Of course, this is my separate request, count as one spot."

"The first water god... I'll accept that."

Zhongli agreed.

"It's not fair! Why can Li Xiao get it but I can't? We've been friends for so long, and you're being biased! Waaaaah..."

Wendy flew back with a huge bag on her head, then hugged Zhongli's leg and cried.

Zhongli, unable to bear it any longer, used his shield to send Wendy flying into the air, and then with a wave of his hand, a rock pillar struck Wendy directly in the abdomen.

In an instant, Wendy was carried away from Li Xiao's sight by the rock pillar and became a small black dot on the horizon.

"I will definitely come back!"

All that remained was Wendy's final, unwilling cry.

Seeing Wendy leave, Li Xiao also took the opportunity to say goodbye, "Zhongli, I'll be going now. See you at the farewell ceremony."

Zhongli nodded in agreement, "Alright, the ceremony to send off the immortals should be tomorrow."

He also wanted to complete the ceremony of sending off the immortals as soon as possible to prevent Li Xiao from pulling any more tricks.

After leaving Mount Aozang, Li Xiao returned to Fontaine.

Navia had already left, leaving Shen He alone in the courtyard practicing his spear technique.

Upon seeing Li Xiao descend from the sky, Shen He also put away his Calamity-Suppressing Technique and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Shen He, leave. I'll take you back to Liyue."

Shen He didn't ask why; she went wherever Li Xiao went.

Li Xiao went to Fukaros and Funina's dormitory again and picked them up.

Fukaros left Navelette a note wishing her good luck, and then decisively followed Li Xiao.

"Wow, this is Liyue!"

After arriving in Liyue Harbor, Frynn walked ahead alone, excitedly running around, looking here and there.

Although Liyue's technology is not as advanced as Fontaine's, its prosperity as a commercial nation far surpasses that of Fontaine.

Suddenly, Funina turned back and pulled Li Xiao to an old man's stall.

"I want to buy this!"

She pointed to a porcelain bowl with a chip in front of the stall and began to speak.

Fukalos asked, puzzled, "Why did you buy this bowl?"

Funina spoke mysteriously to the two of them in a low voice:

"This old man said that this is a bowl used by the Rock King Emperor, and it's very valuable. He wouldn't be selling it if his wife hadn't passed away. Let's buy it quickly, or someone else will snatch it up first."

"You believe this too?!"

Li Xiao was shocked by her intelligence.

"Huh? Is he lying to me? But this old man seems quite kind."

Judging from Funina's acting skills as a water goddess for five hundred years, this old lady wasn't lying.

But she had little idea how skilled a businessman could be at acting in order to deceive people.

"Watch how I expose him."

After saying that, Li Xiao walked up to the stall owner, pretended to look at the porcelain bowl for a few moments, and showed an interested expression on his face.

"Boss, how much is this bowl?"

The stall owner tentatively asked, "50 Mora?"

Li Xiao frowned and scolded, "How could you sell a bowl used by the Rock King Emperor for only 50 Mora? It should be worth at least 100 Mora!"

The stall owner was stunned; it was the first time he had ever seen someone try to negotiate a lower price in the opposite direction.

However, he reacted quickly and hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, it was my fault. Then, as you say, 100 million Mora will do."

"I can buy this bowl, but on one condition."

"What conditions?"

The stall owner was already getting impatient, having finally found a sucker.

"I'll buy it if you swear to the Rock King that he used this bowl."

“This, this, this…”

The stall owner looked troubled.

"What's wrong? Is it so hard to make a vow? Or are you lying to us?"

After hesitating for a long time, the stall owner finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, customers, I did lie to you. This bowl used to be the one that could be used for 'three bowls and you can't cross the hill,' but it was broken and thrown away. I picked it up."

People of Liyue may go against their conscience, but they dare not make false oaths to the Geo Archon, because the Geo Archon will truly punish you.

Although everyone knows that the Rock King has passed away, no one can guarantee that the all-powerful Him might suddenly be resurrected.

"Damn it! You actually dared to lie to me!"

Funina was a little angry; she had really lost face in front of Li Xiao and Fukaros.

The stall owner didn't say another word. He rolled up the cloth on the ground, packed up everything, and disappeared in an instant.

Judging from his practiced manner, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

"...Three bowls and you're past the hill?"

Li Xiao realized that he might have misunderstood the stall owner; perhaps Zhong Li had indeed used this bowl.

Afterwards, Funina was still a bit angry and lost all interest in shopping.

At that moment, Li Xiao bought a candied hawthorn from a roadside vendor and stuffed it directly into her mouth.

“So sweet…”

Fu Ningna's expression instantly melted, and she looked completely blissful.

Li Xiao asked with a smile, "Are you not sad now?"

"hey-hey....."

Funina licked the candied hawthorn with her pink tongue and chuckled.

After strolling around with the two for a while, Li Xiao took them to the Hall of Rebirth.

Since Hu Tao wasn't there, Li Xiao asked about the insignificant True Lord.

Where is your family's head?

She replied respectfully, "The head of the hall has gone out. Is there anything I can help you with?"

“I brought two friends back and I want to arrange a place for them to stay.”

"If it's such a small matter, please leave it to me. The head of the hall instructed me beforehand that seeing you is the same as seeing her."

"Then trouble you."

Li Xiao smiled slightly at her.

After settling Fukaros, Funina, and the silent Shen He, Li Xiao began to think about which girl's room he would sleep in that night.

Liyue doesn't have many lovers. Besides Shen He and Gan Yu (whom she hasn't yet won over), there are only Keqing, Ningguang, and Kurumi.

However, they are all supposed to participate in the Sending-Off-the-Fairy Ceremony tomorrow, so I shouldn't disturb them tonight.

But going back to Mondstadt or to another world, and then having to return to Liyue tomorrow, seems a bit unnecessary.

"Fine, I'll just keep sleeping with Shenhe tonight!"

After making her decision, Li Xiao opened a chat group that she hadn't used in a long time and started killing time.

He remembered the promise Yakumo Yukari made to him, but he hadn't received a reply for so long. He really didn't know what she was doing.

Taking advantage of this moment when she remembered, Li Xiao directly questioned her in the chat group.
