Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

If it weren't for Su Zhe, she definitely wouldn't have made such an important vow in such a small room. There was no other way; time and opportunity are hard to come by, so she took advantage of the quiet of the night...

"Go to sleep, go to sleep."

...

Lantern Festival.

It is a very important festival in Liyue.

Especially this year, in order to help everyone get out of the grief of the passing of the Emperor, the Seven Stars have specially prepared to make the festival more lively.

Even more than half a month before the Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys of Liyue Harbor were already decorated with various festive decorations.

Red, green, white... well, there's not much white. People in Liyue celebrate festivals with red, not white.

As the festival approached, the festive atmosphere gradually intensified. The long street near the bay was used by Chilseong as the main venue for the festival, known as the Night Market.

The night market is decorated with many festive items, including food, toys, mechanical chess games, shadow lanterns, fireworks, and more. Among them, the "Mingxiao Lantern" (明霄灯), modeled after immortals from the past, is built as an important symbol of the Lantern Festival.

At this moment.

The festival hasn't arrived yet, but the preparations for the night market have already begun.

Wow~ Liyue's festival is so lively.

Xiaogong was about to leave, but before he had completely left, he heard the word "festival" and immediately stopped, determined to participate in the Lantern Festival before leaving.

Furthermore, Ningguang entrusted her, a master of fireworks, with the responsibility of overseeing the fireworks display at the Lantern Festival.

Right now, I'm strolling down the street, soaking up the atmosphere, finding the colors that belong to the Lantern Festival, and finally starting to make fireworks.

In her words, everyone has their own color, and holidays are no exception.

Beside Xiaogong, accompanied by the white-haired immortal, her aloof and detached aura contrasted sharply with the festive atmosphere, causing Xiaogong to shake his head repeatedly.

"Shen He, you should get excited."

Shen He asked, puzzled, "Why should I be excited?"

"Festivals, oh festivals, of course we should be excited!"

Shen He shook his head: "I have never had any experience with holidays. My master did give me half a piece of clothing as a birthday present once."

Xiao Gong tilted his head: "Why is it half a piece?"

"I don't know. Perhaps Master has a deeper meaning, but I still haven't figured it out."

Shen He had also asked Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, but the latter never answered. Each time, he would turn his back to Shen He with an unfathomable air, his tall figure facing Shen He in silence.

"It seems your master must be a very powerful immortal."

Xiaogong knew Shenhe's identity, so he admired her greatly.

What kind of willpower does it take to live in the mountains every day without coming out, eating fairy herbs and fairy dew every day, until your mouth is so bland it's like birds.

Shen He, however, did not think so; she felt more at ease practicing in the mountains.

If it weren't for meeting Su Zhe, she probably wouldn't be able to integrate into Liyue properly, let alone come to a crowded place like this.

However, I still felt a little uneasy.

After all, it was Xiao Gong who was with him, not Su Zhe.

"Speaking of which, the Lantern Festival is just around the corner, isn't Su Zhe coming back yet?"

Xiaogong held the back of his head as he walked and talked.

She turned her head to look at Shen He: "Didn't he tell you when he'd be back?"

"No." Shen He shook his head gently. "I never ask about his affairs."

"What do you mean? I see you two have a very good relationship. Yanfei said that you have an impure friendship and that it should be written into the legal textbook. But last time I saw her arguing with Miss Ningguang, she lost in the end and locked herself in her room for several days."

Shen He turned his head away: "What is impure friendship?"

"Um... I mean, for example, that..."

Xiaogong scratched his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Like a lover or something, right?"

"Lovers..."

Shen He murmured softly.

She understands the word.

Then I remembered that lately, whenever I saw Su Zhe laughing and talking with other girls, I always felt a little uncomfortable.

At first, I thought it was a health problem, so I made a special trip back to Jueyun to ask her master.

As a result, True Lord Liuyun remained unfathomable and turned his back, only saying one sentence to her—"Your Dao heart is unstable."

They asked why my Dao heart was unstable, but didn't say.

In the end, it was Xiaoyue and Lishui Zhenjun, who came over to check on things, who found out what was going on. The two discussed it for a whole morning and finally concluded that they were probably in love.

"Is romantic love... a relationship that isn't pure?"

"Ah, I don't know, how would I know? I don't have a lover, and I've never been in love!"

Xiao Gong screamed loudly, attracting the attention of those around him.

Several burly men couldn't resist rushing over and shouting things like, "I'll help!"

Xiaogong really didn't understand this feeling. She had been making fireworks since she was a child. When would she have time to fall in love?

If we really have to talk about it, then it's about falling in love with fireworks. Does that count? If so, she's already a slayer of a thousand men.

However, seeing Shen He's conflicted expression, she still said, "I think that lovers... well, no, this kind of relationship should be beautiful and something to yearn for."

"Being in love with someone you like can also be about things you like, like me. Hmm, I declare that from this day forward, fireworks are my lover!"

"Is it beautiful...?"

Shen He stretched out his hand and gently placed it in front of his chest to feel something hot flowing through his body, gradually melting his frozen heart.

"Hehe~"

Xiaogong suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you don't understand, just ask the person involved."

Shen He looked up and saw Su Zhe standing behind a little zombie in the distance, revealing a lewd (crossed out) innocent smile.

Chapter 40 Qiqi, who wants to drink coconut milk, strolls through the night market with Shenhe.

"Big Qiuqiu is sick, Second Qiuqiu goes to see, Third Qiuqiu gathers herbs, and Fourth Qiuqiu brews them."

"Tsk tsk~ This is really nice, the festival in Liyue is really nice."

Returning from Mondstadt, I could see from afar that Liyue Harbor was brightly decorated, and the night market was bustling with activity. However, the festival had not yet officially begun, and there were more people preparing for the festival than actually participating.

The general affairs department was overseeing the overall progress of the festival. Su Zhe went over for a look, and the leader, after inspecting the work, said "not bad" and left.

Actually, he didn't understand it at all.

However, most inspections are just formalities, a mere visit.

In the end, everything went smoothly, so we held a debriefing meeting to give them a shout-out.

If things don't go smoothly, just keep investigating step by step.

What's there to investigate? How should I know? That's something the next level should be doing.

Su Zhe originally planned to go back to the Su residence to check in and let everyone know he was back, but he met a cute little guy halfway there.

In fact, during his long stay in Liyue, he visited Bubulu several times.

Unfortunately, Bai Shu always said things like "Qi Qi has gone out," "Qi Qi is probably lost," or "Qi Qi is lost," and he never actually met Qi Qi.

I never expected to run into you here.

At this moment, Qiqi was standing outside the crowd, standing on tiptoe and trying to look inside.

This is a bird stall. Although it's on the edge of the night market, you shouldn't be setting up a stall here. The night market has designated areas for each stall to avoid causing chaos.

However, since the Lantern Festival has not yet officially started, some business owners are taking advantage of the situation. If they are discovered, they will definitely be taken away. But right now, the General Affairs Department is so busy that they don't have time to deal with these matters.

twitter.

The birds in the cage kept chirping.

"Come, come, come and take a look! All kinds of birds, including finches, parrots, larks, and golden snub-nosed birds. Don't miss it!"

The stall owner greeted them warmly.

There are a lot of people here, so there are bound to be a few who want to buy.

"Boss, that lark's call doesn't sound right; it must be sick."

"The thrush was the same, listless."

"Also, the parrot's feathers should be the most vibrant, but this one's color is a bit strange."

"As for this gold thread..."

In the crowd, a tall, conspicuous young man kept commenting on the bird in the cage.

The shop owner immediately panicked: "Hey! Are you going to buy it or not? If you're not going to buy it, don't talk nonsense here and ruin my business!"

The young man pondered for a moment: "From a generally rational point of view, this is an area where street vending is prohibited, so the business you're doing is inherently irregular."

"Hey! So what's not legitimate? How is the bird I'm selling illegitimate? Who do you think you are? Are you from the Thousand Rock Army or the Seven Stars? Why are you meddling in my business? Go away!"

The boss waved him away.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhe shouted, "The Thousand Rock Army is here!!"

Holy crap!

The owner immediately tidied up the cart in a flurry, then pushed the cart full of birds out and ran away at an astonishing speed.

"Ah, little round sparrow..."

At the back of the crowd, Qiqi looked dejected.

"Do you want a little pheasant? I happen to have one here."

Hearing the sound, Qiqi turned around and looked at Su Zhe curiously.

"who are you?"
