Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Ningguang: "Keqing has been working for so long, if she doesn't rest soon, she'll probably fall ill before the Lantern Festival is even over."

Traveler: "Leave it to me. I don't have anything to do today. I'll look for Keqing in a bit, and once I find her, I'll let her rest while I go help her with the fireworks."

Paimon: "Yes, leave it to us. Xiangling, if Keqing hasn't eaten that plate of shrimp balls, don't waste it. You can give it to me, I can help Keqing finish it."

Ningguang: "Then it's up to you. I remember you wanted to go to Sumeru, right? After the Lantern Festival ends, I can have Yelan take you to Sumeru via a shortcut. Taking the shortcut will save a lot of time compared to the waterway."

Traveler: "Great, thank you so much, Ningguang! Paimon, don't fight with Guoba for the shrimp balls, or Guoba will eat you up in one bite!"

Hu Tao: "Well, I don't have anything to do today either. Linghua-nee, let's go shopping."

Linghua: "I'm sorry, Master Hu, I have some things to take care of, so I might not be able to go shopping with you."

Looking at the room full of failed lanterns, Ayaka Kamisato silently turned her gaze to Kagerou, who had come to Liyue with Su Bai and the others and was gnawing on a meat bone. A chill swept over her, and the battle-hardened Kagerou cautiously protected the meat bone behind its back. Its intuition told it that there was murderous intent nearby.

"Kagerou-maru, please do me a favor."

(One update today, hehe.)

Chapter 380 The Lively Lantern Festival

"Young Master Abe, have you been missing anything lately?"

"Nothing's missing? No, my alchemy lab has some small tools on hand. If someone takes my things without permission, I can tell immediately."

"Hmm? That shouldn't be the case. Apart from your alchemy lab, nothing else is missing either."

Despite Abe's affirmative answer, Hu Tao's little head was filled with big questions, and the doubt in her eyes made Abe unsure whether her things were really not missing.

Abe glanced at his alchemy room; everything was arranged very neatly, with alchemical potions and tools all present and accounted for.

"Master Hu, has something been stolen from the Hall of Rebirth recently?"

"No, no, it can't be called losing things. Old Meng told me this morning that the little dog named Yinglangwan that Su Bai brought back has been sneaking out of Wangsheng Hall at night with a bag of things on its back."

"At first I thought it had taken someone's things as treasures and was going to bury them, but today I asked around and no one in our ancestral hall is missing anything. Isn't that strange?"

Hu Tao recalled the people she had asked today. Apart from Su Bai and Shen He, who had visited the crane immortal, she didn't seem to have missed anyone. Su Bai and Shen He, being immortals, both had spatial artifacts. Even the mice in the clean rooms shook their heads when they went in. It was impossible for Ying Lang Wan to take anything from Su Bai and Shen He's rooms.

The more Hu Tao thought about it, the stranger it seemed. She slapped her forehead. Since she had nothing else to do nearby, she decided to follow Yinglang Maru tonight. Maybe she could solve the case in no time.

"This master is indeed clever."

After boasting for herself, Hu Tao skipped away from the Hall of Rebirth, intending to find Xiang Ling to have a chat, while Mona watched helplessly as Hu Tao completely forgot about her, the astrologer.

"You're asking me such a simple question? I could tell you the answer," Mona thought to herself. But considering Hu Tao's personality and way of doing things, Mona didn't intend to spoil Hu Tao's mood by telling her the answer. She'd leave this interesting thing to Hu Tao to explore on her own. She'd rather think about what to eat later.

These past few days I've been eating at Wanmintang. Now that it's Lantern Festival, why don't we go out and see what food is available? Mona touched her wallet. On Lantern Festival, Wanmintang gives out three months' worth of extra wages. After planning with this huge sum of money, Mona was pleasantly surprised to find that she still had about 50,000 Mora left.

I've decided. Today I'll go to the street stalls and buy some food that I don't usually come across. If all else fails, I can just pay the bill at Wangshengtang when I eat at Wanmintang at the end of the month.

"Young Master Abe, what would you like to eat? I can bring you some later."

"That's not necessary. I recently helped some merchants modify their cargo-carrying equipment, and they've been lining up to invite me to dinner at Xinyuexuan Restaurant these past few days."

"If it weren't for Master Hu and the others gathering together for dinner, I probably wouldn't have eaten at the Rebirth Hall at all."

Thinking of the group of merchants who had blocked him at the Hall of Rebirth, Abe pinched the bridge of his nose. If these people hadn't all booked Master Hu's set meal at the Hall of Rebirth, he really wouldn't have wanted to waste time eating.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he shouldn't have gone up to inspect that broken-down truck. Now he's wasting a lot of time on it.

As for the funding that Mona envied, Abe rarely receives funding from the two giants, Ningguang and Wangshengtang, so he really doesn't care about the small sums of money in the hands of those businessmen.

Just as Mona was envying Abe, Xiao also arrived at Mt. Aozang. Besides asking Fushe to retrieve something from Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, Zhongli also asked him to speak with Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and make sure that Lord Liuyun Jiefeng goes to Liyue Harbor on the morning of the Lantern Festival.

Zhongli originally planned to use his mobile phone to inform Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, but considering that Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun might not always be on his phone, Zhongli had Xiao go and make a second round of arrangements.

Xiao was still a little confused. It was understandable that the Emperor and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun had a good relationship, but when did his elder brother Fushe get so close to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun? Before, Fushe and Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun didn't have much interaction.

At this moment, Xiao had no idea how Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun would torment him in the next few days. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun tried every possible method to make Xiao grow taller.

At this moment, Su Bai and Shen He were already heading towards Liyue Harbor, because the Lantern Festival was in two days. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun prepared some fresh Qingxin and Tiantian flowers for Gan Yu and asked Su Bai to bring them to Gan Yu.

Since Shen He got together with Su Bai, after Zhong Li said that eating Qingxin and other medicinal herbs all the time was not nutritious and would not help with pregnancy, Shen He started eating ordinary food. At first, she was not used to it, but after eating at Wangsheng Hall for a few days, Shen He gradually got used to it. During her time at Aozang Mountain, Shen He even ate a sweet flower-stuffed chicken in front of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun.

Chapter 381 The Uninvited Guest

"You've been following me all this way, it's time for you all to come out."

After watching Shen He carry a bunch of Qingxin towards Yuehai Pavilion, Su Bai's smile gradually disappeared, and talismans made of immortal power and elemental power instantly appeared beside him.

The different colors of light flashing from the various talismans made Su Bai's white hair appear in different colors, and beneath this colorful hair, Su Bai's indifferent face revealed a seriousness that was completely different from usual.

"As expected of the immortals of Liyue, they were able to detect us even when we were off guard."

A short, blond boy led two Abyss Apostles out slowly from behind a boulder. Upon seeing the three before him, a longsword instantly appeared in Su Bai's hand. People of the Abyss, all of them deserve to be killed.

For some reason, Su Bai felt that the person standing in the middle of the three looked familiar. He was even certain that he had seen this person somewhere before, and perhaps more than once.

"Lord Su Bai, thank you very much for taking care of Ying all this time. If it weren't for you, Ying might not have been able to integrate into this world so quickly. As her brother, I am very grateful to you."

"Ying's brother, are you the scumbag Sora that Ying mentioned, who doesn't stay by his sister's side and even allows his subordinates to attack her?"

"How dare you! How dare you insult His Highness the Prince!"

Upon hearing the way Ying addressed him in Su Bai's words, before Kong, the older brother, could say anything, the two Abyss Apostles beside him jumped out and started shouting.

"You two shut up."

"I apologize for making a fool of myself in front of Lord Su Bai."

After reprimanding the two Abyss Apostles, Kong smiled apologetically at Su Bai. If Su Bai hadn't heard the two Abyss Apostles address Kong as "Your Highness," he would have almost thought Kong had been kidnapped by the Abyss.

"It's not a joke, but I wonder what business Your Highness the Prince of the Abyss has with me? If there's nothing else, then you'll probably have to stay here."

With immortal power flowing through Su Bai's body, although there weren't many large-scale attack methods among the talismans he had learned, he had drawn quite a few single-target attack talismans with explosive power during his free time in Aozang Mountain these past few days.

Although the person in front of him might be Ying's brother, Kong has already fallen into the abyss. Even if Su Bai spares him out of respect for Ying, he will seal Kong's power.

Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from the talismans around Su Bai, Kong showed no intention of running away. Instead, he took a few more steps, which puzzled Su Bai. Was Ying's brother really that fearless?

Despite his doubts, Su Bai's eyes never left Kong. As long as Kong entered his attack range, Su Bai was confident that he could keep Kong in place.

Su Bai narrowed his fox-like eyes and took one step, two steps, as Kong gradually approached. The talismans beside Su Bai also began to show signs of being activated. Just as Su Bai was about to activate the talismans, Kong suddenly stopped.

"Lord Su Bai, are you familiar with the country of Kyria?"

"The destruction of Keria five hundred years ago? I've seen that name in history books a few times. What, are you from the Abyss planning to destroy Liyue just like you destroyed Keria?"

When it came to destroying Liyue, Su Bai's eyes flashed with even more killing intent. If Kong really had such intentions, even if he was Ying's brother, Su Bai would not show any mercy and would make Kong stay in Liyue forever.

"No, no, no, Lord Su Bai has misunderstood and is mistaken. Keria was not destroyed by our Abyss, and I have not come here to destroy Liyue."

Seeing that his words made Su Bai even angrier, Kong explained and indicated that he was not targeting Liyue, nor did he want to destroy Liyue.

"I have come here simply to let Lord Su Bai see this world, to see this real world."

"The real world?"

"That's right, let's see the real Teyvat continent, which has been destroyed by the Seven Gods, in Keria."

Was Kyria destroyed by the Seven Gods? Kong's words were like a magnitude 18 earthquake to Su Bai. Although Su Bai hadn't seen the Rock King Emperor much, the Rock King Emperor he knew from Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was definitely not the kind of god who would destroy other countries at the drop of a hat.

"As long as Lord Su Bai joins our Abyss, this real world will be presented to you without reservation."

Seeing that Su Bai didn't speak, Kong Jian's next sentence directly revealed his purpose: that's right, he came here to lead Su Bai into the abyss.

Join the Abyss? Su Bai gave Kong a look as if he were an idiot. Had this guy spent too much time in the Abyss and gone mad? Why would Su Bai, a true-blue Liyue immortal, join the Abyss just because of one of his words? Was Liyue no longer appealing, or did Kong have too much faith in the Abyss?

"Sigh, I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly. Since Lord Su Bai failed to seize this opportunity, I have no choice but to use force to bring him back."

Chapter 382 What about the second one?

"Ha, force? You and those two Abyss Apostles behind you?"

Faced with Kong's threat, Su Bai sneered. After observing Kong for so long, Su Bai still couldn't figure out what was so powerful about Kong. As for the two Abyss Apostles, Su Bai didn't take them seriously at all.

"This place is too close to Liyue Harbor. If we use combat tactics, we are likely to be detected by the people in Liyue Harbor."

"So you're planning to let me go without lifting a finger?"

Kong looked around, seemingly deep in thought, and then uttered such a sentence. Su Bai raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively. Although Kong said that, Su Bai was not foolish enough to remove the surrounding talismans right now.

"No, no, no, Lord Su Bai, I intend to have you join us for a cup of tea in the Abyss."

As soon as Kong finished speaking, the two Abyss Apostles instantly appeared beside Su Bai. The two Abyss Apostles and Kong formed a triangle, directly enveloping Su Bai. This sudden change made Su Bai subconsciously throw an attack talisman at Kong, who was at the front.

Before the talisman could even touch Kong, the space in front of Kong suddenly began to distort, and a spatial rift opened in front of Kong, completely devouring the terrifyingly powerful talisman.

Seeing his talisman being swallowed, Su Bai thought to himself that something was wrong. He then began to sense the surrounding space. Under Su Bai's perception, he immediately noticed the distortion of the surrounding space. This distorted space was like a quagmire, and Su Bai tried to break free but found it was completely futile.

"I didn't expect that you Abyss would use spatial methods. You want to teleport me directly to the Abyss, right?"

Finding himself unable to break free of the restraints, Su Bai could already guess Kong's purpose: using such methods to drag him into the abyss. Even Grandpa Zhongli probably wouldn't notice anything. However, Kong, you're still too naive about Li Yue's talismans.

Su Bai cast a white talisman into the earth, and a strange power enveloped Kong and the two Abyss Apostles. Kong sensed that the space around him was also beginning to change, and he felt a little uneasy.

Seeing that the talisman had begun to take effect, Su Bai grinned. Since you want to teleport me to the abyss, then you won't have an easy time either. I'll teleport you all directly to the Awakening Cloud Realm. At worst, it'll be a one-for-one exchange. No, it's not even a one-for-one exchange.

Once the immortals understand the situation, they will definitely try to save him, but it's hard to say about Kong. As far as he knows, not only is Boss Xiao in Jueyun Realm, but Brother Fushe also seems to be heading there. The five immortals in Jueyun Realm are not to be trifled with.

"Your Highness, what should we do?"

Faced with the Abyss Apostles' questions, Kong was also very conflicted. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Su Bai to be alone. If he gave up this chance, Su Bai, who was more vigilant next time, would definitely not be so easily trapped by them.

However, the array enveloping them made Kong very uneasy. The destination of this array was still unknown. If it teleported him to Morax, he wouldn't need to fight against the heavens. He could just type "gg" and prepare to be reincarnated.

Just as Sora was still hesitating, he was surprised to find that the sky seemed to have darkened. This unusual darkness immediately caught Sora's attention. He looked up and saw that the stars belonging to Morax had somehow appeared above his head.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

The two Abyss Apostles immediately stopped what they were doing and flashed in front of Kong. As the celestial star fell, the sound of explosions echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

As the smoke cleared, Su Bai gasped in shock at the sight of the two Abyss Apostles, now turned to stone. Just how terrifying must the rock element be to turn these Abyss monsters into stone?

Kong, shielded behind two Abyss Apostles, wiped away a cold sweat. Looking at Su Bai and his two petrified subordinates not far away, Kong felt a surge of anger, but knowing he couldn't bring Su Bai back to the Abyss today, he didn't want to meet the Seven Gods.

"Hmm? Aren't you leaving yet?"

From a secluded vantage point, Zhongli Jiankong, who had witnessed everything, frowned as he watched him go. He had warned the prince of the abyss not to covet Su Bai, but it seemed that Morax's warning had had no effect.

"If that's the case, and you were able to withstand the first celestial star, what will you do about the second one?"
