Morax is dead, Liyue will fall into my hands.

"I can attest that what Young Master Hai said is absolutely correct; Boss Li is indeed the new Rock God."

However, the truth about who Mr. Li proposed to is probably different from what you imagine.

Mr. Li isn't proposing to just one person; he plans to propose to Miss Gan Yu, Miss Ke Qing, and Miss Ning Guang all at once.

As for Master Hu of the Rebirth Hall and General Leidian of Inazuma, we don't know, and we won't speculate.

You can guess for yourselves.

In the small Jiaxuan Teahouse, all sorts of wild guesses and possible obstacles were speculated on.

However, as things continued to escalate, they began to slip out of Li Ye's control.

Li Ye had already arranged for people to spread rumors that he had proposed to these five people.

As it turns out, whether some people were deliberately trying to stir up trouble or simply wanted to grab attention, all sorts of unrelated rumors were flying around.

What? Li Ye plans to marry the leader of the Mondstadt harp and intends to interfere in Mondstadt's internal affairs;

What? Mr. Li wants to marry the twin sisters, and he won't even spare Barbara;

It's said that Boss Li has already secretly pledged his life to Xiangling of Wanmintang, but it just hasn't been revealed yet.

What Mr. Li likes is actually the great hero traveler Ying from Liyue.

He only decided to marry another woman because he was unable to stay in Liyue due to his constant search for his brother.

In short, with all sorts of real and fake revelations mixed together, even the people Li Ye had arranged no longer knew who the real soldiers were and who the imposters were.

When Li Ye received the news from Jiaxuan Teahouse, he was completely stunned.

He still thought that even if he was a scumbag, he was a scumbag with principles, not the kind of scumbag who falls in love with every woman he meets and marries every woman he loves.

Well, that's when things got really messed up. Just two or three hours later, he was already scheduled to propose to more than a dozen girls.

Li Ye was very suspicious that if this continued to spread, the number of people would increase from a dozen to dozens, which would break his own record before he transmigrated.

Headache, I wish tomorrow would come soon.

Hopefully, the content of the daily newspaper will be able to curb this unhealthy trend to some extent.

Li Ye was still troubled, but at this moment, the Eightfold Divine Child in the Guili Plain Market was so angry that he was about to explode.

Because in this frenzy of rumors, there were not only Gan Yu, Ning Guang, Ke Qing, and Lei Yingdian, but also Shen Li Ling Hua, Sango Miyako Xin Hai, and even some people that Yae Miko had never heard of.

but!

But here's the problem: so many people have been mentioned, yet there's no mention whatsoever of Li Ye proposing to her, Yae no Miko.

What do you mean?

Am I, the Eightfold Divine Child, not worthy?

Yae no Miko was very angry, but it was no use.

At this moment, everyone's attention is focused on whether the rumors circulating in Liyue Harbor are true or false.

Keqing and Ningguang, in particular, were completely bewildered and lost when they learned about this from their friends.

What happened...?

How did the marriage proposal rumors suddenly start circulating?

And who exactly is he proposing to?

Is he proposing to Gan Yu, or to everyone else?

Explain yourself!

Proposing to Gan Yu was something everyone expected.

If I were to propose to everyone...

Li Ye is incredibly bold!

He wants to marry dozens of women at once?

Conversely, if he really proposed to her, should she say yes or no?

If I don't agree, will I miss this opportunity and never have another chance?

But if they agree, do they really want so many people to marry Li Ye at the same time?

Ugh, I'm so conflicted...

Although everyone says this, only they know in their hearts that what they really want to know right now is when to propose.

In the afternoon, Li Ye returned to Guiliyuan Market.

Seeing Gan Yu trying not to laugh, Li Ye, who had gone too far, said helplessly, "Just laugh if you want to. It's true that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

After playing the public opinion game for so long without any backlash, who knew they'd get completely screwed over this time?

Gan Yu smiled and said, "Then I can only say that this is the will of the residents of Liyue Harbor."

Li Ye rolled his eyes speechlessly and retorted, "Public opinion? I doubt it."

I'm sure someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes!

Li Ye strongly suspected that not only were there people enjoying the spectacle, but also others taking advantage of the chaos to try and achieve some ulterior motive.

The most typical example is Margot Noria, the head of the Liyue Northern Bank!

It's one thing if it's someone else, but at least they have some stories to tell about you, and the key is that everyone knows them and can recall their names.

What about her?

Throughout the entire Liyue Harbor, the number of people who know her name can be counted on one hand.

Now there are so many rumors circulating that he likes white-haired, red-eyed girls, so he must be planning to marry the head of the Northern Bank. If there isn't someone stirring things up behind the scenes, Li Ye, the new Rock God, can probably step down.

Gan Yu shook her head and retorted, "Even if it's just fueling the fire, it still needs to have a basis in public opinion. If we deny it, no one will agree."

Li Ye thought about it and agreed.

It's all because Zhongli insisted on organizing some kind of voting event a couple of days ago.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with it. I planned to use this method to propose to Gan Yu, Ke Qing, and Ning Guang, and for everyone to resolve their misunderstandings and develop Liyue happily in the future.

As a result, Zhongli insisted on adding two more, and that's when things got complicated.

What should I do? What should I do?

Li Ye frowned and said, "Xiao Mei, stop smiling all the time. Help me think of a solution."

My hope is that our team members can move beyond the past and embrace the future.

Gan Yu pretended to be angry and said, "Does it have to be this way? I think you just want to marry Ke Qing and Ning Guang!"

It's fortunate that Li Ye has a thick skin; if it were someone with a thinner skin, upon hearing Gan Yu say that, they would probably either evade the question or quickly deny it.

However, Li Ye said confidently and without hesitation, "Of course I want to marry him, otherwise I wouldn't compromise myself."

"shameless."

Gan Yu spat at Li Ye in an annoyed tone, knowing he would definitely have this self-righteous attitude.

Gan Yu wasn't angry. To be precise, Li Ye knew that Gan Yu wouldn't get angry over such a small thing, so he deliberately said that to let Gan Yu complain about him and lighten the mood.

The saying "a beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love" is nothing more than this.

Jokes aside, troubles are troubles.

Li Ye was genuinely worried about how to handle the situation.

Gan Yu pretended to be generous and said, "Why don't you propose together? Things have already come to this point, what else can we do?"

We can't just pretend it never happened, can we?

Upon hearing Gan Yu's slightly jealous words, Li Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Yes, since things have gotten so big, we might as well pretend it never happened and postpone it for a while. Once Ningguang and Keqing get a little impatient, we can then propose to them in a natural way.

Although doing this... is really not very humane.

Let's try to balance things out by having Zhongli report to the public that he plans to propose to Gan Yu, Ning Guang, Ke Qing, A Ying, and Hu Tao one after another.

Correct!

First, go to Jueyun Pass with Gan Yu, and then find some time to propose to Ningguang and Keqing after you come back.

That way, it doesn't matter how many rumors there are.

Thinking of this, Li Ye clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I've got a solution. In short, I'll take care of this matter."

Speaking of which, the Lantern Festival has already passed.

I had promised Xiaomei that after the Lantern Festival, we would find some time to go back to Jueyunjian.

When does Xiaomei think would be a good time?

Amidst the towering clouds?

Should I propose?

Gan Yu suddenly remembered that Li Ye had said before that they should go back to Jueyunjian together after the Lantern Festival, which was the place where the two of them met.

Then there, Li Ye will propose to her.

"Is it just... the two of us?"

As soon as Gan Yu finished speaking, her face turned bright red, and her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Li Ye replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, it'll definitely just be the two of us."

After hearing Li Ye confirm that there were only two people, Gan Yu felt a sense of satisfaction but also asked with some doubt, "Then... what about Ke Qing and the others?"

"Huh? What... does this have to do with them? Xiaomei is talking about the marriage proposal?"

Li Ye explained with a smile, "Of course, we'll go find Ningguang and Keqing after we return from Jueyun. There's always a first-come, first-served order."

Besides, whether Ke Qing and the others will accept my proposal is still uncertain.

"She'll definitely agree," Gan Yu said sourly.
