Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

There's plenty of time in the future, and besides, she had already talked a lot with Zhen while Su Zhe was unconscious.

"Let's go."

Ying said to Su Zhe.

"Istaru".

Just as the two were leaving, Zhen called out to Su Zhe.

"what happened?"

"Thank you."

Su Zhe smiled lightly, waved his hand, and disappeared into the space with his shadow.

...

the other side.

From the afternoon onwards, the Su family mansion was in complete chaos.

With Su Zhe gone, it's their world now.

Since we're celebrating a festival, the first thing we need to do is create a festive atmosphere. As Xiaogong would say, as long as we have enough enthusiasm, everything we do can be like fireworks, eventually bursting forth with beautiful light.

Then, the entire courtyard began to glow.

"Crispy Rice, breathe fire!"

"Lulu~~"

"Lotia, spray water!"

"..."

"Traveler, that lantern is hung in the wrong place!"

"Fireworks are on!"

Xiangling was busy in the kitchen, Ba Che and Lothia were arranging the remaining things, Ying and Paimon were running around keeping up with the progress, and Xiao Gong was preparing for tonight's fireworks, her enthusiasm had almost set half the courtyard ablaze.

When Su Zhe stepped into this place, he thought for a moment that he had entered the wrong place.

"Oh~ Su Zhe is back!"

Paimon burst out of a cloud of smoke and waved at him.

"Su Zhe! Su Zhe!"

"..."

Su Zhe looked around and found a 'guest' squatting in the corner.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Yun Jin, who had come to discuss the play "The Goddess Splits the Temple" with Shen He, was now unable to open her eyes due to the smoke and fumes.

He went outside, looked up, and after confirming that this was his home, he went back inside.

"Are you OK?"

"N-nothing...cough cough~"

Yun Jin waved her hand, "I'm just a little unaccustomed to it."

"Let's go upstairs."

"it is good..."

Su Zhe led her upstairs, and she felt much better afterward.

"I came looking for Shen He, but she doesn't seem to be home. I heard that you're going to hold your own Lantern Festival here, so I thought I'd help in any way, but..."

Yun Jin glanced downstairs, her expression showing lingering fear.

Compared to the people downstairs, she's practically a pushover.

"Aren't you going on stage tonight?"

"Yes, Yunhan Society has been performing these days, I just need to go on the last day."

The Lantern Festival lasts for several days, and it's impossible for Yun Jin to carry it all on her own during such a major festival.

Even if she were willing, Yunhan Society wouldn't agree, as it would ruin her voice.

"By the way, where did Shen He go?"

Yun Jin asked in confusion.

On the last day of the performance, the grand finale was the Goddess Splitting the Temple.

But before that, Yun Jin wanted Shen He to hear her revised version of the story.

"That's strange. They clearly said Shen He twisted his ankle, so how did he end up running out?"

"Shen He is a disciple of the immortals. What's a sprained ankle? He's probably already healed. He's probably enjoying the breeze on some mountain right now."

Su Zhe had no idea where Shen He had gone. Although she could find her if she wanted to, it was better to leave her alone at this time.

He laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be back before tonight."

"OK then."

Yun Jin looked down again, and for a moment she was unsure what to do.

What should I do now?

"Hmm... how about we perform a traditional opera here to cheer them on?"

"Huh?"

She felt something was off, but since Su Zhe had said so, Yun Jin didn't refuse.

So a person stood on the second floor like a fool, singing in a low voice, while water, fire, and fog filled the courtyard, creating a kind of unusual stage effect.

This phenomenon continued until after 5 p.m.

Then Shen He walked in from outside and saw a group of people covered in dust. He tilted his head slightly.

"Hmm? Shen He is back."

Chapter 45 Chaos erupts at the Su family mansion; the Ice Queen descends upon Liyue >>

"Perfect timing, let's eat! I'm starving!"

"The goldfish are here!"

"Xiaogong, don't mess around. If you spill this meal, I'll set you off in the sky like a firework!"

"Waaaah~ Su Zhe, you're so mean."

She didn't deliberately say anything to Shen He. This natural feeling immediately put away the girl's initial apprehension.

She walked into the courtyard and became part of their little family.

...

The silver moon hangs high in the sky.

Brilliant fireworks illuminated half the night sky. In the courtyard, everyone enjoyed the food while listening to Xiangling talk about the traditions of the Lantern Festival.

To be honest, it seems that Xiangling is the only true Liyue native in the entire courtyard.

Because it's a holiday, and holidays involve eating, which in turn involves delicious food.

Therefore, Xiangling is very familiar with these festivals.

“Inazuma also has many festivals, but we usually call them festivals. When there’s a festival, we hold a festival and everyone gets together to celebrate it,” said Yomiya.

"It's pretty much the same in Liyue. We celebrate big holidays together and small holidays with our families."

Xiangling chuckled and said, "Just like now."

"Wow! Xiangling, this boiled black-backed bass is so delicious!"

"Paimon, eat slowly. You've already eaten several of yourself."

"It feels like I'm telling a horror story."

"But why does Paimon eat so much? He's so small."

“We only have one stomach, but her whole body is made of stomachs.”

"Pfft~ That sounds so funny! What if Paimon ate herself into a fat ball... Haha! I'm dying of laughter~"

“I know Paimon can eat, but why does Shadow seem to eat slowly, yet the food is gone in no time?”

Everyone looked towards the shadow.

Ying felt somewhat uncomfortable. Even though she was a god and could defeat an enemy with a single strike, these people in front of her felt like 'friends' to her.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Because...it tastes good?"

"What? You're not even sure about yourself, Shadow?" Xiao Gong tilted his head. "I always feel like Shadow looks like the kind of serious foodie."

film:"..."

Xiangling laughed loudly: "Haha~ People who understand the art of food are the cutest in the world!"

Ying Shen agreed.

The art of gastronomy is vast and profound.

"The cutest foodie?"

Xiaogong continues his self-destructive behavior.

Su Zhe's lips twitched: "Weren't you supposed to be in charge of the fireworks tonight?"

"Miss Ningguang has asked someone else to take care of it, and told me to enjoy myself a little longer. I can go on the last day."

Su Zhe didn't say anything. He glanced at Ying. Perhaps because of the real relationship, this Thor seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood today, and didn't seem to blame Xiao Gong for his rude remarks at all.

Perhaps it's because...it's just too delicious?

Turning her head, Yun Jin was talking quietly with Shen He, while on the other side, Ying sat alone, looking up at the night sky.

Su Zhe walked over and sat down next to her.
