Original God: Being stepped on by Alechino at the beginning

　This also made Mona feel more and more indebted and happy, and her relationship with Lu Li became deeper and deeper.

　After all, this was the first time Mona received such kindness from the opposite sex, and she already had a good impression of Lu Li.

　If Lu Li could intuitively perceive the favorability now, he would probably be able to immediately tell that Mona's favorability towards him is constantly increasing at this moment.

　"Does this bracelet really look good on me?"

　After coming out of the jade jewelry store, Mona raised her hand with a blushing face. An emerald bracelet was on her fair wrist. At this moment, the fortune teller girl looked at Lu Li with some joy and asked.

　"Well, the colors match well. Actually, I would rather buy you a necklace or a headdress, but that might not suit your style, Mona. So, I think it's better to buy you a bracelet," Lu Li said with emotion at this moment. "Now it seems that you have good taste. This bracelet really looks good on you, Mona~"

　"Oh, thank you, but isn't it a bit too expensive..."

　"It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not, as long as you like it, Mona!"

　Lu Li shook his head and spoke softly at this moment.

　In fact, he also bought some jewelry in several other jade stores, which were prepared for Alechino, Qianzhi, Linnet, Navia, Clorinde and Xiawolei. As the saying goes, shop around and compare the prices of jewelry in other stores. Therefore, Lu Li judged that the price of the bracelet he bought for Mona was actually moderate, not too expensive, but not cheap either, and it was within an acceptable range.

　Fortunately, he had the habit of saving money when he was carrying out missions before, so it was not difficult for Lu Li to buy jewelry to please girls now.

　Hearing this, Mona's beautiful eyes blinked, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

　"I like it very much... This is the first time someone bought this for me, and it looks really nice... Thank you, Lu Li..."

　Mona spoke softly at this moment.

　"Just a verbal thank you won't do. I want some tangible reward."

　Hearing this, Lu Li's mouth curled up with a hint of playfulness, and he spoke softly.

　"Hey?"

　Mona was a little confused, and the next moment, she saw Lu Li taking the initiative to move forward.

　After all, the two of them had just reached the corner of a dark alley and there weren't many people around.

　So now, Lu Li wanted to do something slightly excessive, and he had a plan in mind.

　At first, Mona was a little nervous and resistant. After all, this was the street. But after noticing that there seemed to be no one around, she relaxed a little.

　At this moment, she closed her beautiful eyes and enjoyed the tenderness with Lu Li, until she could no longer hold on, then she let go of each other, letting the silver chain between them float in the air with a bright color.

　“This is the reward I want~”

　Mona blushed, spat softly, and said with some embarrassment, "Pervert. Okay, let's go back quickly, pack our bags, and set off. According to your itinerary, we should be able to reach Qiaoying Manor before tonight, right?"

　“Of course, as long as you take the water route instead of the mountain route,

　"The journey wasn't long," Lu Li nodded and said softly, "The monkeys on both sides of the river kept crying, and the boat had already passed through thousands of mountains."

　"Hey? Is this Liyue poetry? Lu Li, you also know it?!"

　Mona widened her beautiful eyes at this moment and asked in disbelief.

　"Well, I do have some experience. After all, I was once a Liyue person," Lu Li said softly. "When we cross the river by boat, the boatmen's chanting might be even more shocking!"

　Mona nodded thoughtfully and said softly, "If that's the case, then I'll look forward to it. Let's go, Lu Li! Let's get going quickly!"

　"Ok!"

　Chapter 125: The past of Chenyu Valley, Mona's acceptance increases

　They crossed the river together in a small boat and passed Baojuekou. Listening to the fisherman's loud singing at the bow, Mona, who was leaning against Lu Li, felt a little calmer at this moment.

　The scenery of Chenyu Valley is so beautiful, with sunny days, picturesque mountains and clear waters. No wonder the tea here is world-famous.

　As the boat crossed the river, the blue waves rippled.

　Looking at the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river, listening to the songs sung by the fishermen, and nestling in Lu Li's arms, her mood also relaxed.

　"Having said that, the ancient Liyue people already had such an outstanding level of architecture. Although I don't understand what it was used for, it is indeed quite shocking as a landscape viewed from a distance..."

　Looking at the jade building that spanned Yamato like a ring, Mona asked curiously in Lu Li's arms.

　"Hmm... maybe it's not what you think. This may not be the achievement of the Liyue people." Lu Li followed her gaze and found that she was referring to the ring-like treasure ring. He said softly: "Mona, have you heard of immortals?"

　"Immortals... Oh, I know. The Liyue Jueyun Immortals. I've heard from old... ahem, I've heard from Master that they seem to be followers of the Rock King. So, could this matter be related to the Jueyun Immortals?"

　"That's not a big deal," Lu Li shook his head and said softly, "In fact, not all of Liyue's immortals are followers of the Rock King. Take the Sunken Jade Valley, for example. There are actually three immortals, and the huge building that appears before us today is actually the work of one of them."

　"The story is supposed to take place during the Demon God War. The demon god who resides here, driven by jealousy, betrays her alliance with the Rock King Emperor, leading to war. In the end, to achieve victory, she triggers a flood in an attempt to destroy the Emperor's army," Lu Li said. "But the three immortals of Chenyu Valley, who are supposed to obey her orders, cannot accept such a devastating act. After all, the residents of Chenyu Valley will bear the brunt of the flood. If this demon god gets her wish, the entire Chenyu Valley will be completely deserted."

　"After this, the three immortals from the Sunken Jade Valley emerged one after another. The White Snake Immortal stalled for time on the front lines, but was ultimately cut in half by the demon god and fell into the mountains, his fate unknown. The Lord of the Ni Beasts called upon her followers to lead the civilians to safety. Thanks to her help, the people were able to survive the devastating flood. The last, the Floating Carp Immortal, invested his body and soul in a jade artifact, which, combined with this precious ring, was able to block the onslaught of the flood."

　Mona's beautiful eyes blinked, and she listened quietly to Lu Li's statement at this moment.

　"After that, the demon god of Chenyu Valley was slain, the floods receded, and the land on both sides of the river became fertile due to the widening of the river and the diversion and regulation of the treasure ring," Lu Li said softly. "This is also one of the reasons why the tea in Chenyu Valley is world-famous, because the land here is blessed by the immortals. Of course, the most important thing is that the local people are constantly innovating their technology, and the locals are proficient in internal circulation. So over time, the taste of the tea has naturally become better and better."

　"Wow...it seems like a pretty good ending, but...what happened to the floating carp fairy you mentioned? She invested her body and soul in the jade to resist the demon god. After that, her ending was..."

　"He fell into a deep sleep and his whereabouts are unknown," Lu Li said softly, "This is what I read in the historical records."

　"That's it..."

　Mona pursed her lips.

　That's right... resisting a demon god is definitely not something that can be done so easily...

　It’s just a pity. It would have been nicer if there had been a better ending.

　Mona felt emotional at this moment.

　"Well, although this immortal has fallen asleep, if you see the koi fish in the Sunken Jade Valley, perhaps it could be her incarnation, Mona?"

　Lu Li said softly at this moment.

　"Hey? Koi? Why?"

　"This is a custom in Liyue's Chengyu Valley. Firstly, seeing a koi carp symbolizes good luck. Secondly, the Immortal Fujin is said to be a koi carp transformed into a human. So, if anyone in Chengyu Valley encounters a koi carp in the wild, they will pray for it, and if they catch a koi carp, they will release it."

　Mona was slightly stunned, then said in surprise, "I see... But then again, those plump, white koi fish that were specially kept in the ponds we saw in Chenyu Valley before, were they all there for this reason?"

　"That's right, but actually, I saw my koi before that."

　"Hey? Didn't you come to Chenyu Valley with me when?"

　Mona said in surprise at this moment.

　"Oh, you are far away in the sky, yet you are right before my eyes.

　It means my good luck has finally arrived~"

　Lu Li looked into Mona's beautiful eyes at this moment and said softly.

　This sudden teasing made Mona look stunned, and then her cheeks slowly flushed, "You...you really are..."

　At this moment, while Lu Li slowly tightened his arms around Mona, he sniffed the fragrance of the girl's hair and gently played with her soft hands.

　Although he had never had sex on a boat before, Lu Li was quite interested in it. However, there were not only him and Mona on the boat, there was also a boatman rowing.

　So, let’s try this opportunity later.

　It's actually quite nice to just hold Mona and enjoy the brief and warm tenderness.

　Lu Li felt emotional.

　At the same time, the boatman who was singing the boat song turned around in some surprise. After confirming that the two were just hugging each other and enjoying the scenery, and did not do other inappropriate actions, he felt relieved.

　He was also worried that two people would behave in an unethical manner on his boat. If that happened, how would he continue to make business from ferrying people in the future?

　Now if it's just a hug, it's still within the acceptable range.

　Really, young couples nowadays are becoming more and more open-minded.

　At his age, he wouldn't dare to show affection like this with his lover in front of others...

　The boatman sighed inwardly for a moment.

　At this moment, Mona naturally noticed the boatman's look of doubt and then relief, and a look of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face.

　Fortunately, Lu Li was only teasing and intimate without doing anything extreme, otherwise it would really be unbearable for people to live with!

　but...

　After finding a warmer and more comfortable position in Lu Li's arms, Mona leaned back and squeezed into the man's arms.

　This feeling is really good... Is this what it feels like to have a boyfriend and be in his arms?

　Mona thought shyly in her heart.

　Chapter 126: Hotel booking, a single man and a single woman finally sleeping together

　After sailing for nearly an hour, the two people who quickly arrived at Qiaoying Village by water were now standing at the village gate looking at the scenery of the village.

　"Wow, this is Liyue's most famous tea-producing village. Almost every household is drying fresh tea leaves."

　Mona said this with emotion while sniffing gently, "Also, the smell here is very mellow, full of the smell of tea..."

　Lu Li nodded slightly, "Oh, right. By the way, Mona, do you prefer tea or coffee?"

　"Coffee, right? Sometimes I can't sleep at night. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight and using water divination can help me better discover the mysteries of the stars," Mona said softly. "Although drinking tea can also keep me awake, you have to drink a lot, which makes it very easy to go to the bathroom. So, compared to that, I prefer coffee a little more."

　As Mona and Lu Li walked forward, she spoke at this moment: "Lu Li, what about you? You probably like drinking tea more, right?"

　"Well, for me, either is fine. I can handle black tea and coffee. I've also dabbled in red wine and Maize Starch. Sometimes during banquets, I'd quietly replace the liquid in my wine glass with Maize Starch to avoid getting drunk. I often do that."

　After Lu Li pondered for a while, he said with emotion at this moment.

　"Fengda, oh yeah, but, it turns out you like to drink sweet things?"

　Mona was a little dazed at this moment, and then asked with interest.

　"I wouldn't say I like it too much, but when I was little, I was lucky to be able to drink something so delicious," Lu Li pondered for a moment, then said softly, "But as I grew up, I gradually felt that I couldn't drink something so sweet."

　"Yeah," Mona nodded. "Well, I feel like I understand you better now. Lu Li, what was your life like before? After all, since you agreed to start a relationship, I want to get to know you better..."

　After saying this, Mona pursed her lips and said, "When I was very young, my master took me to Fontaine to learn divination and astrology. Because of my outstanding talent, it didn't take me too long to master this knowledge and put it to use."

　Lu Li nodded thoughtfully, then said softly, "My experience is similar to yours, Mona. However, I'm not learning divination or astrology, but some practical techniques and skills."

　"Practical techniques and tips..."

　After Mona glanced up and down at Lu Li, she had a premonition in her heart, "Is that...about the battle?"

　"Yes, including this trip to Mondstadt. In fact, it was also an order from the organization. They asked me to go out and serve under an adult, and then I might stay there for a while."

　"...It doesn't sound good. Lu Li, you guys won't be in conflict with the Knights of Favonius, right?"

　Mona felt something was wrong when she heard this. She frowned slightly and asked nervously.

　"No, after all, officially speaking, we are actually allies."

　After Lu Li spoke awkwardly at this moment, his tone became firm, "Also, if there ever comes a day when we might break up, I will firmly stand by you and ensure that this relationship does not become distorted in any way."

　Mona was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips, coughed lightly, and said softly: "Okay, let me

　We're hurrying here now, and it's getting late. Is this village really suitable for a short break for the night? Or should we set up a tent in the surrounding area? It's not a deserted place now, so maybe the security is good, so there's no need to worry.

　"No need. Actually, when I was strolling around Yilong Port this morning, I asked the locals. Qiaoying Manor is a place where tourists can stay and rest. There is a hotel here. We can book a room there and spend the night there."

　Lu Li said softly at this moment.

　Hearing this, Mona nodded somewhat relaxedly, "Then let's go book a room first, and then explore the local area?"

　"Okay, but if you put it this way, you might encounter something interesting!"

　"Hey, interesting thing, what exactly is it?"

　Mona's eyes lit up, and she asked with interest at this moment.

　"I heard in Yilongbu that people occasionally come to Qiaoying Manor to perform their daily beast dance training. However, it's late now, so we might not be able to see them. However, during the market, we might be able to see another type of performance, which would actually be very interesting."

　Lu Li spoke softly, noticing Mona's curious gaze. He continued to lead her towards the local inn, explaining, "It's an ancient Liyue entertainment. Through the performance of paper figurines on painted screens, coupled with the excellent ventriloquism of the performers, it vividly presents another form of entertainment. If you combine it with the story, it's actually very interesting. Would Mona be interested?"

　"Of course, that sounds interesting."

　"Haha, then we'll go over and take a look later. Hopefully, there will be one. But if not... Mona, do you think you'd be okay with listening to a story?"

　"It's like listening to a bard tell a story, right? Haha, that's fine. I also want to hear what exciting stories Liyue has to offer~"

　Seeing that Mona had no objection to his proposal and was willing to accept it, Lu Li nodded slightly, and continued to talk and laugh with her while leading the way forward.

　However, after arriving at the hotel mentioned by the local people in Yilongbu, Lu Li and Mona encountered an unexpected incident.

　------Dividing line------

　"Huh? You mean...there's no room left now?"
