"Good night! Remember to go to bed early too!"

Waving his hand, Yu Qi watched Keqing's back go away, then turned around and looked at Zhongli and the others. The three of them walked to the edge of the tent and sat on the ground around the fire.

"That little girl, is she one of the Seven Stars of Liyue in this area?" While lying on the grass, the Dragon King Ruotu admired the sky, the bright moon and the stars above his head, which he had not seen for thousands of years, and said casually, "She looks pretty good, and her mind is quite sharp."

"If I'm not mistaken, she may have doubted my identity."

"That's not surprising." Yu Qi nodded slightly, took out a teapot from the inventory, and placed it on the fire. "Keqing can become a seven-star at this age, so she must have something extraordinary."

"However, I have hinted to her before that your identity is related to immortals. Even if it is the case, she probably only suspects that you might be some immortal."

"Tsk, after more than a thousand years, has the gap between the people of Liyue and the immortals become so big?" Looking sideways at Zhongli, the Dragon King Ruotu couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, aren't you really worried that one day humans will lose their faith and awe of the immortals?"

"..." Looking at Ruo Tuo calmly, Zhongli shook his head and said, "Times are changing. Immortals and gods must naturally adapt to the changes of the times and move towards a new path."

"Okay, I'm glad you have the answer." Shrugging casually, the Dragon King Ruo Tuo looked indifferent: "Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with me. I've been in prison for more than a thousand years. I'm going to enjoy myself for a while!"

"Haaa~" Yu Qi yawned slightly and squinted his eyes. Seeing that the water on the fire was boiling, he made a cup of tea for Zhongli and Ruotu Dragon King respectively. "By the way, Ruotu Dragon King, where are you going to live in Liyue Harbor next? Will you join the Hall of Rebirth like Zhongli?"

"The Hall of Rebirth, that's not necessary." Shaking his head, Ruo Tuo dug at the ground and then pulled out a crystal gem from the mud: "I plan to buy a house for myself and live like a mortal. I'll walk around Liyue Harbor every day, listen to books, and watch plays. It seems quite interesting."

“Uh…” Hearing the next arrangement of the Ruotu Dragon King, Yu Qi’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help but glance at Zhongli: “You two are indeed old friends, you want to do exactly the same thing!”

"Mr. Zhongli is now in Liyue Harbor every day, either walking his bird, watching a play, or drinking tea and listening to a book. You can just ask him to take you out to play when the time comes!"

“Hahaha, that’s great. I want to learn more about the changes in Liyue over the past thousand years!” Laughing loudly, the Dragon King Ruotu threw the gem he dug out to Zhongli: “This is for you. Consider it an advance payment for your employment.”

"Moraq, oh no, Mr. Zhongli, please take me to have a good time in Liyue Harbor next time, and don't break the contract!"

"..." Zhongli took the gem with an expressionless face, took a sip of tea, and for the first time thought to himself, 'Is this guy's temperament becoming a little too lively?'

Of course, he had no intention of rejecting Ruota's request. After all, it was just about bringing one more person along when eating, drinking and having fun. It was no different from his usual life.

……

At the same time, in the distant canyon, Keqing looked back at the people who were chatting and laughing beside the tent, her eyes flickering.

"Ruota... Is this name just a coincidence, or is it..."

Muttering to herself, Keqing's breathing became a little hasty, but she quickly regained her composure.

According to Liyue folklore, the Geo King once accidentally unearthed a strange ore while walking alone in the mountains.

Later, the Rock King Emperor felt pity for the spirit of the rock and carved it into a lifelike dragon. However, he never expected that after he added eyes to the rock, the dragon would turn into a living creature and would always accompany the Rock King Emperor.

Keqing didn't know how true this folk story was, but she clearly remembered a story she had read in an ancient book in Liyue.

Unlike what is said in folk legends, what the King of Rock dug out from the ground was not a stone, but a blind dragon yearning for the sun.

The Rock King Emperor gave it eyes that could see everything in the world clearly, and the dragon therefore followed the Rock King Emperor.

At the end of the story, the creator wrote down the name of the dragon, which is... King Rādhāra!

Originally, Keqing just regarded it as another version of folk legend, but now, she suddenly heard about a person who might be from Jueyunjian, also named Ruotu!

some of……

"Huh!" Keqing took a few deep breaths again and sighed: "Forget it, it's just a matter between immortals, let them solve it themselves when the time comes!"

As she spoke, she shook her head slightly, turned around and continued to direct the Qianyan Army to clean up the scene.

Chapter 182: お帰りなさい, だんな様

"Huh~ Liyue Harbor! I didn't expect to have the chance to come back!" Standing on the street of Chihuyan, Ruo Tuo looked at the bustling street in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a little emotion on his face: "This must be Chihuyan, I haven't been here for so many years, it has changed so much that I can hardly recognize it!"

"Oh? It seems that Brother Ruotu hasn't been to Liyue Harbor for a long time." Kunjun, who looked somewhat similar to Ruotu Dragon King, raised his hand and pushed his glasses up when he heard this: "The buildings here in Chihuyan have not been changed on a large scale for more than ten years."

On the way back these two days, Kunjun also woke up from his coma. After listening to others' explanation of his experiences in the past two days, he took the initiative to find Yu Qi and Zhongli and got to know them again.

In Kunjun's words, although I don't know what I was thinking before I lost my memory, since I was able to become friends with Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Yu Qi at that time, it is naturally possible now.

So, just like that, Kunjun got to know Yuqi, Zhongli and Ruotuo.

Perhaps because he had once possessed Kunjun, and because they had similar interests and hobbies, in just two days, King Ruota had become good friends with Kunjun and they could talk about anything.

The way they addressed each other also changed from 'Mr. Kunjun' and 'Mr. Ruotuo' to 'Xiao Kun' and 'Brother Ruotuo'.

"Hahaha, it's been a while since I last came back! But it's good this way, having the opportunity to get to know a brand new Liyue Harbor all over again is a rare experience for me!"

"Haha, Brother Ruo Tuo's idea is quite unique, but if you think about it carefully, it is quite interesting."

Laughing loudly, Kunjun turned around and bowed to Zhongli and Yuqi, saying in a high voice: "Everyone, I will take my leave here first. This incident involves me deeply. The clan members in the family have sent letters to ask about it many times. I have to go back and report it first."

"If you have free time someday, you can come to Kun's residence in Yujingtai. I will definitely host a banquet to entertain you."

"Haha, I heard that the Kun family is a forging family with a thousand-year heritage. I have admired it for a long time. Now that I have a chance, I will visit it the next day."

"If there's a chance, I'll definitely go!" Smiling and spreading his hands, Yu Qi said jokingly, "After all, I'm also a blacksmith. If I have the opportunity to get close to a big boss like Kun, that's something I'd love to have!"

"Brother Yu, you're joking!" He bowed somewhat helplessly. After spending a few days together on the road, Kunjun naturally understood the identities of Yu Qi and the others. He had also naturally heard of Yu Qi, the 'famous craftsman' who had become famous in recent days.

Ruo Tuo, on the other hand, waved his hand carelessly and said, "Okay, when I find a place to live, I will take the time to visit you, Xiao Kun. I heard that your Kun family has inherited many forging skills, and I must observe them carefully when the time comes."

"By the way, Xiao Kun, this thing is for you as a farewell gift!"

Without even looking at it, Kunjun solemnly took the ore handed over by Ruotu Dragon King with both hands and carefully put it away: "Haha, then I will wait for Brother Ruotu to come!"

"Well, walk slowly!"

Watching Kunjun's back gradually disappear in the crowd, Yu Qi looked up at the sky. Seeing that it was getting late, he turned to look at the two people beside him: "Zhongli, Ruotu, are you going to go back to the Hall of Rebirth first, or..."

"Hmm~" After a moment's silence, Zhongli shook his head and said, "Let's not go back for now. Ruo Tuo hasn't found a place to live yet. I'll take him to look for a house first."

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the Ruotu Dragon King who was constantly looking around: "Ruotu, where are you going to live? Feiyun Slope? Chihu Rock? Or Yujing Terrace?"

"This is fine!" He waved his hand casually, and then looked towards the depths of Chihuyan Street: "I heard the sound of iron hammering over there. Is it a blacksmith shop? I'll just find a house nearby."

"Well, that's fine. You two can go shopping first. I have to go back to the store. I've been on the road for three or four days. I guess Alicia and the others must be waiting anxiously."

Even though it only took Yu Qi and his team two days to get there, on the way back, their speed was more than twice as slow because of the harassment from monsters along the way and the fact that they had to carry the wounded with them.

It was Saturday when we left, and now it's already Wednesday. I haven't seen Alicia, Lei Dianzhen and the others for five days, and Yu Qi really missed them for a moment.

"Keqing is really a fool. She rushed back to Liyue Harbor by herself, but she didn't even tell me in advance. Even if she didn't give me a ride, she could at least give me a message."

"Then you go first! I'll be happy if Morax is here to accompany me!" Waving his hand carelessly, the Dragon King Ruotu glanced at Yu Qi, his tone a little subtle: "I don't want to annoy those people because of such a small matter!"

The former Thunder God, the current Grass God, and Alicia, whose origins are unknown but who is suspected to be as powerful as the Demon God...

Even though Ruo Tuo thought that he was in peak condition and his fighting power was no less than that of these people working together, but... there was no need to annoy his companions, right?

"Goodbye!"

With a wave of his hand, Yu Qi turned around and merged into the crowd, leaving only Ruotuo Dragon King and Zhongli standing at the entrance of Chihu Rock. They were surrounded by a bustling crowd, and occasionally passers-by would come up to say hello to Zhongli.

“Let’s go, Zhongli!” Waving his hand, the Dragon King Ruotu led the way towards Chihuyan Street. On the way, he glanced at the port not far away, then looked at Zhongli who looked calm, and couldn’t help but complain: “I say… Liyue is really a mixed bag nowadays!”

"The people from Mond, Inazuma, Xumi, and Zhidong... the only ones missing are the people from Fontaine and Natta, right? You don't care about that?"

Hearing this, Zhongli put his hands behind his back and shook his head calmly: "It's just a minor incident. It won't cause any trouble. Besides, some things are already destined. It's useless even if I try to stop them."

"Heh~" Resisting the urge to roll his eyes at Zhongli, the Ruotu Dragon King muttered softly, "Who are you kidding? With your strength, if you really want to stop us, who can stop you except the justice above our heads?"

"I am not invincible. There are still many beings on this continent who can rival me, including gods and dragon kings."

"I can't comment on gods, but dragons..." Looking up at the sky in the distance, the Dragon King Ruotu shook his head: "Are you talking about the half-dead one in Xumi, or the one in Fontaine that turned into a human? Or the one in Nata whose brain is about to be beaten out? It can't be the one in Mond, right?"

"Hehe..." With a slight smile, Zhongli said nothing more, and disappeared into the crowd side by side with the Dragon King Ruota.

On the other side, walking on the street of Chihuyan, Yu Qi's steps became much lighter. After staying in the wild for a long time, seeing such a prosperous and noisy scene unexpectedly gave people a feeling of being in another world.

A red sun slowly sets in the sky, and the surrounding streets are gradually filled with the aroma of food. Following the scent of fireworks, one can see groups of idle people sitting in restaurants of all sizes in the streets and alleys.

Three or five people sit around the table, some tasting wine and drinking tea leisurely, some feasting to their heart's content, creating a harmonious and natural scene on earth.

"Huh~" After stopping for a moment, Yu Qi looked up at the sponge rippling in the distance and let out a long breath. The tension and depression that had accumulated from a series of events seemed to be released with this breath.

"Yeah!" Raising his hand and gently patting his cheek, Yu Qi showed a bright smile: "Let's go, go home, go home!"

Yu Qi stretched his body and turned his head, unable to help but glance at the crowded port not far away: "Speaking of which, Liyue seems to be a bit lively recently. I remember when I walked out here a few days ago, I didn't see so many ships here!"

Moreover, if Yu Qi saw correctly, there seemed to be a large number of ships that were extremely similar in style, even the purple magatama gentian flower flags hanging on the ships were exactly the same.

"Could it be that a fleet from some big chamber of commerce has returned?" Yu Qi thought to himself, but he didn't find it strange.

Come to think of it, the Seven Stars Summoning Immortals Ceremony will be held in a few days. For those businessmen who regard this day as more important than the Lantern Festival, they will definitely rush back to participate no matter how busy they are.

After all, how much Mora they can earn in the next year depends entirely on the words of Emperor Rock King at the ceremony of inviting the immortals.

“Tsk, I only heard about it before and didn’t think much of it. Now that I’ve experienced it myself, this ceremony of summoning the immortals is really attractive!” Looking at another passerby wearing non-Liyue clothing walking by on the side of the road, Yu Qi couldn’t help smacking his lips.

Just on this small plank road from Chihuyan to the port area, Yu Qi met thirty or forty passers-by dressed in foreign costumes along the way. One can imagine how lively the port area and Feiyunpo ahead must be now!

"Fortunately, I was smart and walked this way, otherwise I would have been squeezed into a piece of jerky."

After buying some snacks, Yu Qi walked through the port area, climbed the long steps, and passed through the crowds of people. After a while, he saw the familiar gate of the General Affairs Department.

After turning left and walking a short distance, Yu Qi saw that an empty area suddenly appeared beside the busy street.

"The immortal's formation is so useful!" Looking up at the spotless plaque above his head, Yu Qi smiled and casually pushed open the half-open shop door.

"I'm back!"

"Well, welcome back (お帰りなさい), master (だんな様)!" A soft and enchanting voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then, Yu Qi only felt a flash before his eyes, and a familiar pink figure appeared in front of him, bowing slightly to him respectfully.

He stared blankly at the figure in front of him. Before Yu Qi could react, a pair of white, soft hands reached out and gently helped him take off his coat.

"It must have been very tiring for you, sir!"

She skillfully hung the coat on a hanger not far away, gently pulled Yu Qi to sit on a chair beside her, and handed him a cup of honey water at just the right temperature: "Drink a glass of water first and take a rest! Dinner is ready, you can eat it in a while."

"Hmm~" Holding the water cup in confusion, Yu Qi seemed to have not come back to his senses yet, staring blankly at the busy figures in front of him.

After a long while, he suddenly stopped the other party: "No, wait a minute..."

"Ah?" She stopped her busy movements, seemed very confused, turned to look at Yu Qi: "Master, do you have any other instructions? Is it possible that I did something wrong? Oh, this is really rude, I will go to the Madam to accept the punishment..."

"No..." With the corner of his mouth twitching, Yu Qi looked at the woman who raised her sleeves to cover her cheeks and whimpered as if she was very sad. He couldn't help but complain: "You have to act more realistically. If you want to act wronged and cry, can you please put away the smile on your face first?"

"Also, what were you doing just now? It's inexplicable. What the hell were you planning?"

"Oh my~ Master, you are really wronging me!" She pursed her lips, as if she was really wronged by what Yu Qi said. There were waves in her deep purple eyes, as if she was really about to cry.

“I am serving you sincerely, my master, and I have no evil intentions! Oh, oh, oh… My master actually wrongly blamed me like this. I am so sad, oh, oh, oh…”

Listening to the aggrieved sobbing sounds ringing in his ears, Yu Qi couldn't help but reveal a hint of hesitation on his face.

Could it be that I really wronged her... Bullshit!

The black lines on his forehead flowed down like a waterfall. Yu Qi looked at the pretentious figure in front of him and twitched the corners of his mouth.

“First of all, I am not your master, and I don’t need you to serve me.

Secondly, I don’t think I’ve wronged you. The fact that you came to my house means you definitely have no good intentions!

Finally, please stop talking about other things here! What I'm asking is why you are here? Aren't you supposed to be with Inazuma?"

"Well~ Master, you really don't understand romance!" Seeing that her disguise was exposed, she stopped pretending and casually let down her sleeves, revealing a charming face that could show both anger and joy.

Looking at Yu Qi who was sitting on the chair with a calm expression and seemed not to be attracted to her at all, Yae Shenzi, who was dressed as a maid, sighed and said, "What can I do if I don't come? You have a 'hostage' here!"
