As Zhongli uttered this soft question, the second celestial star slowly appeared in the sky. However, this celestial star was significantly larger than the previous one.

Looking at the celestial star that was obviously much larger in the sky, Ruo Tuo, who was next to Zhong Li, couldn't help but smack his lips. He had suffered quite a bit of this stuff back then, and the sourness was comparable to the food cooked by Thor.

"Zhongli may be a good person, but Morax may not be. Poor guy, try your best to escape. Only in this way can you possibly arouse Morax's interest."

Seeing a giant celestial star crash heavily to the ground, Ruo Tuo felt her blood boiling. If Zhong Li hadn't been there, Ruo Tuo would have jumped down and given that abyss prince a couple of punches on the head.

"Let's go, Ruoduo, if we don't leave now, we'll miss the next show."

Seeing that the danger had passed, Zhongli turned and walked towards Liyue Harbor. It seemed that he preferred watching a play to fighting in the Abyss. Seeing Zhongli turn and leave, Ruo Tuo, who was in a fit of passion, was so taken aback by the sudden stop that he almost punched Zhongli. Damn it, he's so infuriating.

Looking bewildered, Su Bai seemed to realize something. After glancing at Zhong Li's location and finding no one there, Su Bai murmured to himself.

"Could it be that the Emperor has been observing the Abyss all along? But why won't he show himself? Never mind, I won't think about it anymore. The Emperor must have his reasons for doing this."

One update today.

Chapter 383 Walnut's Plan (1)

"Have you heard? A huge crater suddenly appeared on the mountain next to Liyue Harbor. I heard from a Thousand Rock Army friend of mine that this crater is very strange."

"You just found out? I heard that Lord Keqing of Yuheng Star has already led people to haul soil and stones to prepare to fill that pit."

"Sigh, business was finally a little better during the Lantern Festival. I was even part of the delegation from King Inazuma who came to visit Liyue and bought some things from my stall. I hope nothing bad happens."

"Indeed, these are turbulent times."

As the news spread, more and more people in Liyue Harbor learned about it. Although Seven Stars had ordered that no one should approach the crater, many people still learned some of the information.

Inside the Hall of Rebirth, Su Bai was slumped in a chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. Mona, who was fiddling with a water basin, was a little embarrassed to see Su Bai looking so drained, but even so, she was very curious.

What could possibly be the reason that made Shen He, that seemingly aloof woman, pull Su Bai into the house as soon as she returned to the Rebirth Hall, and that she stayed inside for an entire afternoon and evening, not even coming out for dinner?

If the young woman at the funeral home hadn't reminded Mona, she would have almost knocked on Shen He's door. Thinking about her impulsive behavior last night, Mona couldn't help but wonder why she was becoming more and more like Hu Tao. Mr. Zhongli had been with Hu Tao for so many years, and his personality hadn't changed at all.

Mona thought for a moment and finally pinned the problem on Walnut. As the greatest astrologer, how could Mona be so easily influenced by others?

"Mona, do you have any food left? Whether it's Mora meat or noodles, just give me some. I'm starving."

Su Bai rubbed his protesting stomach. He hadn't eaten much since noon yesterday, and the thought of Shen He's relentless pursuit of him made Su Bai's head ache.

It's unclear how Shen He figured it out, but she actually realized that Su Bai had intended to send her away to face the danger alone. To be honest, Su Bai didn't think Shen He could see anything at first.

However, Shen He discovered it very easily. As a result, Shen He did not lecture him, but chose to use another method. In Shen He's words, as long as there is a next generation, Su Bai will not take any risks. Therefore, the primary task now is to let Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun hold the little fox.

When Su Bai heard Shen He's theory, he was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't understand who had told Shen He this fallacy, but he couldn't refute it.

"Su Bai, are you sure you're okay in this condition?"

"Why don't you try the energy booster I developed? Sister Zhong Tuo has already tested it and there are no negative effects."

Seeing Su Bai's listless appearance, Abe couldn't help but worry about whether Hu Tao's plan would go smoothly tomorrow. Given Su Bai's current condition, it seemed that Hu Tangzhu's plan would be difficult.

Thinking of how busy Hu Tao had been with her plans lately, Abe quietly took out another bottle of red potion. This potion was enough to keep an ordinary person energetic for three days and three nights without sleep, but considering the special physique of immortals, Abe felt that it would be good if the potion had one-third of the effect.

“Young Master Abe, I think Su Bai needs not only energizing medicine, but also some supplements.”

"Yesterday, Linghua bought a bunch of highly nourishing medicinal herbs from Bubulu. See if you can extract the active ingredients from them; that's what Su Bai needs."

Mona, while turning the pages of the book, offered a suggestion to Abbe. Abbe agreed that Mona's suggestion made sense, and that no matter what, Hu Tao's plan for tomorrow absolutely could not go wrong.

Kurumi: Klee, Yoomiya, will the fireworks you two made together be delivered today?

Xiaogong: Don't worry, Walnut, it will be delivered this afternoon. I paid a lot of Mora for the shipping.

Klee: Klee's oversized firework head will be delivered today. Klee even asked Fischl to help deliver it to Liyue Harbor.

Klee: But when Klee messaged Fischl, Fischl didn't reply. She's probably on her way.

Jean: Wait, Klee, when did you make these firework heads? And you even had someone else deliver them to Liyue Harbor.

Klee: Oh no, Jean has found out!

Lisa: Little cutie Walnut, aren't you afraid that Klee's bomb will blow up the entire Rebirth Hall?

Hu Tao: It's okay. Even if the Hall of Rebirth in Liyue Harbor is gone, I can open a new shop on Sky Isle.

Shadow: A good choice.

Wendy: Really? Then I'll definitely come and support you, Master Hu.

Zhong Li: Generally speaking, Wendy's employee benefits for the Rebirth Hall might come in handy at that time.

Chapter 384 Walnut's Plan (2)

"Liyue's Lantern Festival truly lives up to its reputation as a major festival. Such a lively scene is rarely seen even in Inazuma's grand festivals."

"Yaezōji, we should head to the Hall of Rebirth now,"

"Oh dear, little Sara, you've come all this way to Liyue Harbor, don't be in such a hurry!"

Seeing Yae no Miko looking at this stall and that stall, the usually calm Kujo Sara couldn't sit still anymore. If it weren't for the difference in strength between her and Yae no Miko, she would have carried Yae no Miko and run to the temple.

Upon hearing the message that Hu Tao sent her on her phone, Kujo Sara, besides being excited, had another question: why did Hu Tao know about her relationship with Su Bai? According to her investigation of this Hu Tangzhu, this Hu Tangzhu was not a meticulous person.

Just as Kujo Sara was steeling herself to persuade Yae no Miko to go to the Temple of Rebirth as soon as possible, Kurumi inside the Temple of Rebirth was flipping through the calendar hanging on the wall, her face still showing some hesitation.

"Zhongli, stop drinking your tea and come help me decide whether to postpone my plans. I just remembered that tomorrow's Lantern Festival is for lighting lanterns to welcome back the heroes who have passed away."

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate to hold the wedding at that time?"

Hu Tao flipped through the calendar furiously. Although tomorrow was said to be an auspicious day for marriage, was there really nothing wrong with getting married on the Lantern Festival?

Hearing what Hu Tao said, Zhong Li looked at Hu Tao with some surprise. He didn't expect that Hu Tao would think of this. Seeing that Hu Tao was a little anxious, Zhong Li put down his teacup.

"If Master Hu is troubled by this reason, then perhaps he is overthinking it."

"The original meaning of the Lantern Festival is that people pray for peace, drive away bad luck, hope that the lanterns will pass on wisdom, and hope that heroes will return from the sea to take one last look at Liyue. However, if someone gets married on this day, I think the soldiers who come to visit Liyue will offer their most sincere blessings."

"Those people sacrificed themselves for Liyue. Getting married on this day is not only a way of showing those soldiers that Liyue is now peaceful and stable, but also an affirmation of their contributions."

Zhongli didn't think Hu Tao's worries were unnecessary. On the contrary, he was very pleased that Hu Tao could think of this. The fact that Hu Tao could think of those soldiers who died on the battlefield showed that his education was very successful.

Hearing Zhongli say this, Hu Tao felt that what Zhongli said made sense. The Lantern Festival is a joyous day, and holding a wedding on this day would be doubly joyous. Thinking of this, Hu Tao clapped her hands and had a new idea.

"I've decided that when the banquet starts tomorrow at noon, we'll release that giant lantern into the sky. We'll then set out a table of food and some wine inside the lantern as a feast for the heroes."

“Our Wangshengtang is a large and well-established business, so setting up an extra table for a banquet is not a problem. Hmm, we should inform Xiangling as soon as possible.”

After saying that, Hu Tao rushed to her room and started texting Xiang Ling on her phone. Seeing Hu Tao busy again, Zhong Li silently took a sip of tea. In fact, quite a few people get married on the Lantern Festival. What he said just now was just something he overheard from someone else and then embellished.

If Hu Tao had asked Xiang Ling first, Xiang Ling might have explained it to Hu Tao in the same way: Wanmintang is a popular wedding venue because of its affordable prices, and as the second-in-command of Wanmintang, Xiang Ling should know something about these things.

"Mr. Zhongli, you have quite the refined taste, drinking tea here right after lunch."

Yae no Miko's alluring voice came from the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, which made Ruoduo, who was busy in the kitchen making milk tea for the children at tomorrow's banquet, come out with a stern face.

Ruoduo had absolutely no liking for Yae no Miko. The straightforward Ruoduo was not used to Yae no Miko's way of speaking. In her opinion, it was a waste of time to go through so much trouble when problems could be solved with strength.

"Yae-no-miya, I'm going to go and discuss tomorrow's matters with Hall Master Hu. You can handle whatever you need to do yourself."

After speaking, Kujo Sara followed Wakata's guidance and entered Kurumi's room. When Yae no Miko saw that Kujo Sara had just left her there, a sly glint appeared in her eyes.

"Honestly, I'm the one in charge of this visit to Liyue, but Xiao Shaluo doesn't listen to my orders. It's infuriating. I need to talk to Ying about it when we get back to Liyue."

"Yae-no-miya, you can leave the juniors' affairs to them. If you have nothing to do, you can have dinner together at the Rebirth Hall."

Faced with Yae no Miko's antics, Zhongli chose the safest approach: as long as he didn't respond, Yae no Miko wouldn't be able to do anything to him. As it turned out, this method was indeed effective. Zhongli's silence completely stumped Yae no Miko. He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he had to remain silent. For a while, Yae no Miko really had no way to deal with Zhongli.

Chapter 385 The Ending

"I just went out for breakfast, how come the Rebirth Hall looks completely different now? Young Master Abe, did we come to the wrong place?"

"Also, where did the plaque for the Hall of Rebirth go? If Hu Tao sees this, she'll be furious."

Su Bai, who had just finished breakfast with Abe, looked at the two red lanterns outside the Hall of Rebirth with a blank expression. If he hadn't sensed the familiar aura of everyone inside the Hall of Rebirth, Su Bai would have really thought he had gone to the wrong place.

"Su Bai, hurry up and go in. Once you're inside, my mission will be complete."

Seeing that Su Bai was standing at the door and not going in, Abe pushed Su Bai by the back and pushed him inside. Su Bai, who did not know what was going on, was pushed into the Hall of Rebirth by Abe in a daze.

Pushing open the door, the hall of rebirth is a far cry from its usual simple style. Red, symbolizing joy, is used to decorate every part of the hall. Whether it is the usual chairs or the wooden doors, the large "double happiness" characters all reveal that today is a special day. Even the wooden floor is now covered with a red carpet.

Looking at the festive decorations before him, Su Bai stroked his chin, wondering what Hu Tao was up to today. She had never shown this much importance to the Lantern Festival before.

"Su Bai, don't just stand there, go change your clothes."

"Change clothes??"

"Let's go, Xiao Su Bai, I'll take you to change your clothes."

Before Su Bai could find out what Mona meant, Yae no Miko had already pulled him upstairs and pushed him into a room.

Inside the room, Thomas had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Su Bai's puzzled look, Thomas chuckled and pressed Su Bai down into a chair, starting to undress him.

While tearing off Su Bai's clothes, Thomas also sized Su Bai up, seemingly observing something. This blatant gaze snapped Su Bai out of his daze.

"Thoma, why are you tearing my clothes off? Are you out of your mind?"

Seeing Thomas so excitedly tearing off his clothes, Su Bai jumped up from his chair in horror. He used to have a good relationship with Thomas, but that didn't mean he wanted anything to happen between them.

"Wait, Thomas??? What are you doing at the Rebirth Hall??? Weren't you at Inazuma's?"

"Su Bai, I'm definitely coming to your wedding with the young lady. Stop resisting and hurry up and change into your wedding dress. If we delay any longer, we'll miss the auspicious time."

"Wait, I'm getting married? How come I didn't know? Don't take my clothes off yet, I'll change them myself."

Seeing that Thomas was about to take off his clothes again, Su Bai, despite having a million questions in his mind, still changed into the wedding dress himself. While changing, Su Bai kept asking Thomas what had happened.

"Su Bai, today is your wedding day! Are you asleep? You've even forgotten this day?"

"Didn't you notify us two weeks ago? How could you forget that?"

Seeing Thomas's bewildered expression, Su Bai was even more confused. He notified him? No, how come he didn't know about this? He hadn't injured his head recently, surely he couldn't have forgotten something that happened half a month ago.

No, he had to find out the truth. This whole thing was completely baffling Su Bai. But he had to admit, the wedding dress was quite beautiful.

He glanced at the wedding dress he was wearing. It was a classic style of wedding dress worn by people from Liyue, but it had a very magical little fox embroidered on it, which Su Bai liked very much.

Perhaps we could save this wedding dress and wear it when we get married in the future. Just as Su Bai was thinking about how to save this wedding dress, the Eightfold Divine Child outside the door saw Su Bai push open the door and walk out. His eyes lit up. This dress was just too perfect for Su Bai.

"Little Su Bai, how come I never realized before that you suit this kind of clothing?"
