"My aura? It actually has this effect?" Yu Qi was a little surprised and confused. When did he become so awesome?

How come he doesn't know it himself?

"Yes, after all, Mr. Yu Qi, you are not from Teyvat, so the rules of this world will not restrict you too much."

Plus the world in your body... If I didn't understand Morax's character, I would have thought he was planning to let the Dragon King rely on your world.

Muttering in his heart, Lei Dianzhen remained calm on the surface and continued: "Besides, that person is extraordinary. Even if Mr. Yu Qi is just a bystander, he should be able to gain a lot of benefits on this trip."

"So that's it!" Nodding, Yu Qi suddenly realized and felt vaguely moved.

But thinking back to what happened with Ganyu before, his expression couldn't help but twist a little.

Looking up at the calm Zhongli, Yu Qi asked softly, "Excuse me, Mr. Zhongli, I wonder if your friend is a man or a woman?!"

As soon as these words came out, Grandma Ping, Hu Tao and Yao Yao on the side couldn't help but look at Yu Qi strangely, with all kinds of subtle emotions in their eyes.

Especially Hu Tao, who looked surprised, realized, and then suddenly scared, and for some reason a little angry, and almost shouted out "So you are this kind of Yu Qi".

Knowing that they had misunderstood him, Yu Qi was helpless and wanted to explain, but Zhongli shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu Qi, my friend is a man."

Well, let’s just count it that way.

"Besides, he has a strong mind and will not be affected too deeply by your aura."

Just kidding, before Yu Qi could be happy, Zhongli said uncertainly: "Probably, at most, he will only regard you as a close friend."

"Really?" Hearing Zhongli's hesitant words, Yu Qi's heart couldn't help but rise again.

If it was a woman, even if she was really affected, Yu Qi would not be unable to accept it by pinching her nose, but a man...

When Yu Qi thought about a man, who might even be a male god, having overly intimate feelings towards her, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Even if you beat him to death, he would never go!

"Of course, I can sign a contract. If there is any accident, I am willing to bear the consequences with all my strength and solve all the subsequent troubles for you, Mr. Yu Qi!"

"This..." After a moment's silence, Yu Qi nodded vigorously: "Okay, then it's a deal!"

"As for the time, I have to open the store for the next five days and have no time to leave Liyue Harbor." Under Grandma Ping's slightly strange gaze, Yu Qi said naturally: "How about setting it for next Saturday? Two days should be enough to handle this matter, right?"

“Okay.” Zhongli nodded, showing a rare hint of joy. He stretched out his hand and a contract appeared between the two of them: “The contract is done!”

"The contract is made!"

As soon as the voice fell, a loud announcement came from the stage: "Everyone, sorry for the wait. Next, please welcome Yun to perform her new play - "Wind and Snow Welcoming Plum Blossoms" for you."

"The heavy snow is blowing in people's faces, and the north wind is chilling them to the bone." The melodious sound of opera, accompanied by soft and gentle music, slowly echoed on the stage.

Wearing a white outfit that was different from usual, Yun Jin walked out from behind the scenes with brisk steps.

Chapter 117: Yu Qi, who is about to be revered as a love saint

The new play that Yun Jin sang this time was a martial arts play, telling a fairy story that had once been circulated among the people of Liyue.

The main content is about a knight who was traveling on a snowy day, but accidentally met an immortal who was in trouble because of an evil spirit in the mountains.

Finally, the knight used his wisdom and strategy to help the immortal defeat the evil ghost that came to pursue him. The man and the immortal tasted wine and admired plum blossoms in the wind and snow, and became close friends.

Yun Jin danced gracefully on the stage, waving the spear in her hand with just the right expression on her face, full of charm, causing the crowd below to cheer from time to time.

The sounds of gongs and drums in his ears were sometimes passionate, vigorous, high-pitched and loud, and sometimes steady, elegant and smooth in rhythm. Coupled with the melodious and graceful singing voice constantly coming out of Yun Jin's mouth, even a rough man like Yu Qi who was not good at appreciating music could not help but immerse himself in it.

Even Zhongli had an expression of appreciation on his face, and would occasionally raise his hand to agree - every time this happened, Hu Tao would naturally follow suit and applaud.

As the red plum blossoms fell in the last scene, Yun Jin bowed slightly and said goodbye. This new play came to a successful conclusion.

Yu Qi came back to his senses, let out a long breath, and then restrained the surprise in his eyes.

He took a sip from the teacup to moisten his dry lips, and praised generously, "It's really fascinating. Mr. Yun is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Hearing this, Grandma Ping nodded and also began to praise: "Indeed, Liyue opera has existed since ancient times, and there are many amazing people among them, but even among these people, Yunjin is considered to be a leader."

After chatting for a while, Yu Qi had another question in his mind: "But, speaking of which, did the drama that Mr. Yun sang really happen in Liyue's history? What happened to that knight and immortal later?"

While speaking, he couldn't help but look at the two calm and composed people (god) and immortal on both sides, wanting to get answers from them.

“I don’t know about that.” Lightly shaking his head, Zhongli still played the role of a mortal guest of the Rebirth Hall very well: “Regarding this secret history of the immortals, Gechen Langshi Zhenjun naturally knows more about the details than I do.”

"Let me think about this." After thinking for a while with her head down, Grandma Ping's face showed a look of sudden realization: "The person mentioned in this play seems to be true."

"If I remember correctly, this happened several hundred years ago. It was the experience of the Immortal Zhaoyang."

"Immortal Zhaoyang? Grandma Ping, could you tell me a little more about it?" Yu Qi poured a cup of tea for Grandma Ping very sensibly. She looked at her curiously, wanting to know more details.

"This is not really a secret." With a chuckle, Grandma Ping glanced at her little disciple who was also full of curiosity, shook her head, and began to explain in detail.

"It's similar to what's sung in operas. A knight was walking in the mountains when he met an immortal who was in trouble. Although the two of them didn't expel the evil spirit together afterwards, the immortal and the knight still formed a deep friendship and became close friends."

At this point, Grandma Ping looked a little lonely: "That immortal is the Zhaoyang Immortal. Originally, this could only be considered an interesting thing."

"After all, friendship between immortals and humans is rare, but once it is formed, it rarely becomes impure due to differences in status."

"After that incident, every winter Zhaoyang would meet the knight at the place where they first met. The two of them would drink wine, appreciate plum blossoms, compete in martial arts, and sing songs. It was such a joy."

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. About ten years later, one winter, Zhaoyang went to the mountains to meet his friend as usual."

"But this time, when he arrived at his destination, what was waiting for him was not his familiar friends, but... a net specially prepared for him!"

"Zhao Yang was caught off guard and was severely injured in an instant, losing the ability to resist. When he saw his confidant again, he saw a believer of the Abyss!"

"After knowing the story of Zhaoyang and his friend, Shenyuan took the initiative to attack and deceive his friend..."

With a light sigh, Grandma Ping ended her words. She did not tell us the ending of the immortal Zhaoyang, but Yu Qi and the others already knew it.

"Actually, this is the ending~" With a light sigh, Yu Qi shook his head, not knowing how to evaluate this story.

However, after a brief moment of sentimentality, Grandma Ping regained her former calmness.

A slightly depressing atmosphere enveloped the few people and lasted until the end of the show.

"The last book said..."

As the dusk deepened, as the troupe gradually left the stage, a storyteller walked onto the stage. The crowd that had come to listen to the opera dispersed one after another, and Yu Qi and his companions also stood up to say goodbye.

"We'll say goodbye today. I'll have to trouble you again next weekend." Zhongli bowed and said goodbye to Yu Qi. Then he looked at Hu Tao who was standing beside Yu Qi and said, "Master, would you like to go back to the Hall of Rebirth with me?"

“No, no.” Hu Tao waved her hands vigorously, her eyes rolling, and she didn’t know what she was thinking: “I have something else to do, so I won’t go back for now. Goodbye, Zhongli Keqing!”

Watching Zhongli walk down the stairs, Yu Qi turned to look at Hu Tao beside him and couldn't help asking, "Master Hu, is there anything else you need to do? Then I'll say goodbye first..."

"Oh, what's the hurry?" Waving his hands, Hu Tao seemed very comfortable, and didn't look like he had anything to do. "Let's go, are you hungry? This hall master is starving, let's go have dinner first?"

"Ah?" Yu Qi was dragged down the stairs by Hu Tao in a daze. It took him a while to figure out what was going on. "Master Hu, what are you doing? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"No." Hu Tao was leading the way, jumping in front. When she heard Yu Qi's question, she turned around and looked at him, her beautiful plum blossom eyes full of curiosity.

"I just think you're an interesting person and I want to get to know you better. By the way, I want to ask you, are those things about Ganyu true?"

"Uh..." Yu Qi looked helpless, covered his head and sighed, "I told you it's just a rumor, Master Hu, why are you interested in this kind of thing?!"

"Hehe, rumors? Not necessarily. I saw you coming out of Bubulu yesterday, and then went to Yujingtai to have a secret meeting with Ganyu!"

"With your own eyes? Master Hu, you were also at Yujingtai yesterday?" Looking at her with some surprise, Yu Qi didn't expect this to happen.

"Not really. I was originally planning to go to Bubulu to look for Qi..." Hu Tao coughed dryly and almost let the cat out of the bag before continuing, "Ahem, I wanted to ask Doctor Bai for some medicine for injuries."

Although Hu Tao changed her words quickly, Yu Qi still realized her plan to go to Bubu Lu instantly, and raised his hand to support his forehead helplessly.

"As a result, I saw you quietly walking up to the Yujing Terrace from a distance. I wanted to say hello to you, but I didn't expect that as soon as I walked up to the Yujing Terrace, I saw you and Ganyu hugging each other in the corner..."

Looking at Yu Qi with a strange look, Hu Tao said in amazement: "I don't know how you did it. Yan Fei and Gan Yu are both famous semi-immortals in Liyue Harbor. But in just a few days, you have taken them all down."

"Also, I remember you have a 'Alicea' at home, right? Also, I heard that on the day you opened your business, Yuhengxing Keqing got furious because of you and severely reprimanded the people from the Eight Gates!"

As she spoke, she reached out and quietly poked Yu Qi's arm, and asked, "Hey, tell me, I'm really curious, how did you do it?"

"I heard that some people in Liyue Harbor are almost ready to worship you as a 'Love Saint'!"

"I……"

However, before Yu Qi could explain, a familiar figure suddenly walked out from the corner of the intersection and looked at Yu Qi with the same curiosity and strange expression.

"I am also very curious about the love between a human and an immortal. If Mr. Yu Qi doesn't mind, why don't you tell me in detail? Maybe I can adapt it into a few new plays in the future!"

Looking at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him with some surprise, Yu Qi subconsciously greeted her: "Hello, Miss Yun Jin? Why are you here?"

At this time, Yun Jin had changed out of his costume and returned to his usual attire. He looked completely different from the heroic knight on the stage before.

But as she spoke and laughed, there was a familiar charm flowing in the girl's eyes and brows, as if she had not completely walked out of the play, with a fierce aura.

Looking at Yun Jin, whose eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as paintings, Yu Qi seemed to hear the melodious singing again in his ears, and his thoughts could not help but diverge.

"Is this what they call getting into the role?"

Hu Tao, on the other hand, didn't seem surprised at all. She happily moved closer to Yun Jin, appearing particularly intimate: "Hey, Yun Jin, you're here! I thought you couldn't come today!"

"Well, I finally got rid of my agent and found a chance to sneak out. My new play starts today, and she was indeed keeping a close eye on me." After greeting Hu Tao with a smile and explaining the reason for being late, Yun Jin looked at Yu Qi.

"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Yu Qi." The gentle words brought Yu Qi back to consciousness, and before they knew it, the three of them were already walking side by side: "Mr. Yu Qi, you have already seen the new play just now, I wonder what you think of it?"

Blinking his eyes, Yu Qi glanced at Yun Jin, and his gaze happened to meet the girl's gentle line of sight. Although he withdrew his gaze immediately, he could still see the girl's pretty face clearly.

Her eyes reflected the lights, appearing particularly dazzling. Yun Jin's face seemed to still have stage makeup that had not been completely removed. The light red eyeshadow was slightly raised at the corners of her eyes, which seemed particularly consistent with her beautiful pair of bright red eyes.

The light makeup on her cheeks makes Yun Jin's face look particularly delicate. She purses her red lips slightly, looking elegant and graceful, showing the girl's youth and cuteness.

"My thoughts... it sounds pretty good, right?" Yu Qi smiled a little embarrassedly, shrugged, and said, "I don't really know how to appreciate things like opera."

"If I really want to praise it, the lingering sound is so beautiful that it lingers in my ears for three feet..."

After hearing Yu Qi's answer, before Yun Jin could say anything, Hu Tao laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Yu Qi, you are not as good as me. If I were the hall master, I would at least write a few poems to praise Yun Jin in every possible way."

As he spoke, Hu Tao closed his eyes and shook his head, as if he was really preparing to compose a poem on the spot.

Seeing this, Yu Qi couldn't help but look at her curiously, wanting to see what kind of masterpiece this head of the Wangsheng Hall could produce.

Instead, Yun Jin, the person involved, was unknowingly ignored by the two of them.

However, Yun Jin was not angry. She looked at Hu Tao helplessly. As an old friend, she naturally understood Hu Tao's level of poetry writing.

"Yeah, got it!" After pondering for a moment, Hu Tao clapped his hands suddenly and looked at Yu Qi and Yun Jin with interest: "This poem must be very suitable."

"The moon dances in red quilts, and the plum blossoms are quietly watched in the snow and wind;

It has been sung among the people for more than a hundred years, but people do not know that everything is wrong;

You are performing on the stage, and I am watching people in the performance;

If you want to know what I think, hey~ what a pretty lady."

"Hu Tao!!" Yun Jin glared at Hu Tao with some reproach as he spoke while reaching out his hand to lift his chin in a teasing manner. Yun Jin sighed helplessly and nodded at Yu Qi.

"Mr. Yu Qi, excuse me for making fun of you. Hu Tao is just like that. Sometimes she is a little... out of tune."

In response, Yu Qi shook his head in amusement, not paying much attention to Hu Tao's antics: "Well, that's nothing, but your poem..."

"How is it? Pretty good, isn't it? This is the dark limerick of the Alley School that I created myself. It is also very famous in Liyue Harbor!"

Seeing the smug Hu Tao, Yu Qi also became interested and cooperated by bowing and saying, "I see. I'm sorry, I don't know what Master Hu has done. I would like to read it."

"Well, when it comes to masterpieces, there are many. If you are interested, I will give you a collection of poems I wrote someday. This is a rare book in Liyue Harbor!"

"Hahaha, then I would like to thank you for your kindness."

Looking at the two people chatting and laughing in front of him, Yun Jin shook his head helplessly, but suddenly burst into laughter.

After laughing and joking for a while, the few of them walked down the sky corridor. The bustling crowd around them made Walnut calm down temporarily.

As the dusk deepened, Yu Qi originally planned to say goodbye and go back to the store, but Hu Tao didn't know what she was thinking. She dragged him towards the port area and said as they walked,

"It's a rare opportunity for us to get together, why don't we have a meal together? I'll also introduce a younger sister to people."

Then, Yu Qi was dragged by her to the snack street in the port area.

"..." Looking at Hu Tao, who was lingering in front of the stalls and running back from time to time to pass the extra snacks he bought to him, Yu Qi looked at Yun Jin beside him helplessly.

At this moment, the girl was looking at the snack that Walnut had forced into her hands with some embarrassment.
