"It's better to be a smart seller than a buyer. As a trading nation, profit is very important to Liyue."
Soon, the group walked out of the Shimen Border Station. A wide platform appeared in front of them. On the left side of the platform were containers as high as a mountain. A huge crane kept placing containers on the flatbed behind the train.
On the right is a yellow-painted taxi and bus station. Below the platform, a white cement road stretches into the distance, with freight vehicles constantly passing by. Along the cement road, there are all kinds of restaurants and hotels.
"Are you scared? If it's at night, you'll see a different view. Liyue has been called the 'City That Never Sleeps' in recent years." Xiangling said to Paimeng with a mysterious look on her face.
"Hey, that puppet is rushing towards us!" Paimon saw a bear puppet-shaped thing running towards him in the distance.
"Ah! It's rice crust."
"Is that the friend you mentioned?"
"Well, before coming to Mondstadt, the chef said he wanted to give Guoba a full body checkup, so I stayed with the chef. I didn't expect he would be waiting for me here." Xiangling hugged Guoba who rushed over. "Okay, okay, I'll take you out next time."
"I didn't seem to hear Guoba talking." Paimon looked at the situation in front of him curiously.
"Guoba and I have a special connection. I can understand what it is saying." Xiangling coaxed Guoba and introduced him again.
Ying looked at Guoba, the bear-shaped doll. He thought it would be very comfortable to hold it while sleeping, and maybe it would even fight. Then she looked at Paimeng, who was struggling. He only had one-fifth of the wild boar's combat power. The difference was too big.
"If ordinary people want to go to Liyue quickly, they can take the train. There will be a direct bus tomorrow morning. They will arrive at Liyue Harbor in the afternoon. They can also take the bus or drive themselves. It takes a long time, but it is also good to see the scenery along the way. With the Eye of God, they can directly teleport there."
"Then let's teleport directly there!"
"Well, let's go!"
The two used the teleportation anchor.
Ying stared at the city in the distance with wide eyes. It was so huge!!! Ancient buildings, and a large flat land on the lower right, with many long houses, many people and vehicles going in and out, like a factory.
There is a large bust of a woman on the left, with many people taking photos below. Further to the left is a huge port with railways and cement roads extending to it.
This is much bigger than Mondstadt. Paimon, who was lying on Ying's head, also showed a shocked expression. Compared with the Liyue in his memory, it has changed too much.
Then Ying realized why she was standing on the mountain. Could she have been teleported to the wrong place? She looked at the Seven Heavens Statue behind her.
"Come and try to feel whether you can use the rock elemental power." Paimon flew to the side of the Seven Heavens Statue. He added: "Don't touch the fruit next to it."
Ying looked at the familiar fruit, and a frown appeared on his head. "Well, I want to beat that guy up." Touching the Seven-day Statue, the rock elemental power flowed through his body, and he felt the heaviness of the rock element.
"It seems that the rock element will not reject you!" Paimon looked at Ying happily and began to try to perform rock creations.
Xiangling, who was at the Red Mansion teleportation point, saw that there was no one around. She scratched the back of her head, as if she had forgotten to tell her the exact location, and quickly entered the teleportation anchor point again.
"So you are here!" Xiangling teleported three times before she found Ying and Paimon at the Seven Days Statue.
"Is this also Liyue? I remember it wasn't like this before." Paimon asked hurriedly.
"Well, there used to be a big mountain here, with two towering peaks. Then a few years ago, Brother Xuan directly overturned the mountain, flattened it, and created the new city area of Liyue Harbor.
This Seven-day God Statue was actually located halfway up the mountain. Now it has become the highest point in the area.”
"Flattened the entire mountain???" Paimon asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's made of the Thousand-Handed Ningguang on the left." Xiangling pointed to the bust on the left.
"Isn't this too strong? Ying, it seems you can't beat him now." Paimon looked at the traveler Ying, but her eyes were looking at the ship in the distance.
"In fact, I have always had a sense of disharmony. The first time I felt disharmony was in Mondstadt, with that plane. Then it was with that game console, and then at the Shimen border, I felt something was wrong. Now that I am here, this feeling of disharmony is getting stronger and stronger."
Xiangling and Paimon looked at Ying, waiting for her explanation.
"This forced way of integration, if I guess correctly, he should be like me: a traveler!"
Ying recalled the world she had traveled with her brother, because she had seen similar...
"Eh??????"
Chapter 121 The Immortal Invitation Ceremony
Ying and Paimon, led by Xiangling, visited Liyue Harbor. After having dinner together at Wanmin Hall, they said goodbye to each other.
"I'm so full! The food at Wanmin Hall is so delicious." Paimon touched his round belly and was almost unable to fly.
"Master Mao's cooking skills are very high. I have learned a lot." Ying also nodded.
"The sun is almost setting, and there doesn't seem to be any sign of the 'city that never sleeps'."
As soon as Paimon finished speaking, the surrounding street lights and lantern decorations in the surrounding shops all lit up, and the bright lights drove away the darkness around.
"Wow, it's so dazzling! Is this the 'city that never sleeps'?"
Paimon looked at the lights around him with a surprised look on his face. The two of them looked at the lights that were full of Liyue style.
"Let's find a hotel first!" Ying also came back to her senses in time.
"Well, first find a place to live, then go shopping."
The two began to look for a reasonably priced hotel in Liyue Harbor.
2 hours later...
The two sat on the railing next to the Lotus Pond Square, looking at the bustling square, both sighed, and recalled what had just happened.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"I'm sorry, but all the rooms are full, even the woodshed."
"Tomorrow is the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. All the hotels for tonight have been booked by major tour groups in Liyue. There is no room available at all."
"Tonight's rooms were all booked three months ago, and there are no check-outs yet."
"Oh, this is difficult. Why don't you go ask other hotels? There really are no rooms available tonight. Also, don't sleep outside. This is a sensitive period. If you are discovered by the patrolling Qianyan Army, you will be imprisoned for three days."
......
"I didn't expect it would be so difficult to find a place to stay in Liyue Harbor. I've been walking for so long after dinner, and I feel hungry again." Paimon touched his belly.
"There is always a way. Let's go to the next one." Ying took the map and checked the few stores she had not visited yet.
"How about we stay in the house that bad guy gave us? It seems to be nearby. It's just a temporary stay, so it should be okay, right?"
"..." Ying took out the keys and residential map from her bag, a little hesitant.
"Come to think of it, that bad guy must have anticipated this situation today, otherwise why would he have even prepared a house? Can't we just use it tonight and return it to him tomorrow when we find him?"
"Well, I've been walking all day today and I'm a little tired."
The two found the small villa according to the house number.
"It looks like the people living here are either rich or noble. The people living here should be very wealthy, right? But it seems that there are only a few houses with lights on?
Look at that big villa in the distance. There are a lot of purple crystals scattered on the glass roof that look very valuable." Paimon looked around and found someone's house.
I opened the door and was about to go in. A voice came from behind.
"No one has lived in this house before. Is it your house?"
Ying and Paimon turned around and saw a tall white-haired woman with a red rope tied around her body and a pair of silver eyes looking at them.
"No! I'm just staying here temporarily tonight." Paimon replied.
"Stay temporarily? That means it's a thief?"
A spear appeared in Shen He's hand, and talismans were faintly visible around him.
"Wait, we're not thieves, we have the key!"
"Since you are not the owner of the house, where did the key come from? Why don't you surrender immediately?" The ice on the ground near Shen He's feet had begun to spread along the ground.
"Hey, wait a minute! This is our house! We have the title deed!" Paimon saw that Ying had taken out her weapons and was ready to fight, so he quickly stopped them.
"Is there a house deed?" Shen He looked at the little thing flying in the air with suspicion.
"It's real. It was sent to us by Lin Zixuan!" Paimeng quickly took out the small wooden box from Ying's backpack.
"Well, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. I'm sorry." Shen He put away his weapon.
"Don't you want to see the title deed inside?"
"No need, that small wooden box is real. In fact, this residential area has been bought by someone and renovated, and is currently basically idle.
I didn't expect someone would move in here. You look tired and exhausted, so you must have just arrived at Liyue Harbor today, right?"
"Yes, I couldn't find a place to live, so I had to come here. This whole area has been bought up, how rich must one be to afford it!"
"In fact, it is also for their safety, so that they can evacuate this area. Immortals have immortal power, and mortals cannot withstand this immortal power. Once you stay with immortals for too long, some strange problems will appear on your body. It is too expensive to equip everyone around with protective magic weapons. It is too extravagant.
The residents here are basically reserved for people with divine eyes. I see that you don’t have divine eyes.”
"So that's why you think we're burglars?" Paimon interrupted.
"No, I suspected you were reporters and planned to take some secret photos."
"Reporter? Taking secret photos?"
“You will definitely see them if you stay in Liyue for a while.
By the way, my name is Shen He. I’m really sorry about what happened just now. This is your first time in Liyue, so let me show you these new things in the room.”
"My name is Paimon, and this is Ying. Come in quickly, I can't fly anymore." Paimon was flying unsteadily in the air.
Shen He and the others entered this house which had both ancient charm and modern items. He introduced them to the usage of some new items and then left.
Paimon was soaking in the bathtub, playing with the little yellow duck in the pool.
"What a strange person, Ying, don't you think?"
"She lives here, so she must be related to Lin Zixuan.
Let's go and see the 'Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals' tomorrow and see if we can get in touch with them. If the negotiation fails, we can go find Lin Zixuan. He should be able to help contact the Rock King, right?"
"Well, get a good night's sleep tonight so you can get a good seat tomorrow."
Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang, who had just laid down, had her right eyelid twitching wildly.
Lin Zixuan said he was going to the Kingdom of Winter and he didn't know when he would be back. It should be fine, right? After all, there are a lot of backup plans left in Liyue.
Tomorrow's ceremony to invite the immortals must be done beautifully...
Early the next morning.
"Wake up! The sun is shining on your butt!" The Paimon alarm clock woke up Ying who was still sleeping.
"What time is it?" Ying rubbed her eyes. The soft quilt made her not want to get up at all.
"It's 9 o'clock, and it's very lively outside. Let's get going after breakfast!"
"Well, I'll pack my things."
"Let's clean up after we get back! There are a lot of people going to watch the ceremony, and it will be hard to squeeze in if we are late. I heard that it will start at around 11 o'clock, and Yujing Terrace is still a bit far from here."
The two hurriedly finished their breakfast and came to Yujingtai.
"I heard that every year on the day of inviting the gods, wishes are very effective. Do you want to try it?"
"Well, there seems to be someone selling incense next to it."
"Super invincible incense worth 99 Mora? Incense with a super long burning time worth 199 million Mora? What are all these? It seems that we can only afford the small handful of cheapest ordinary incense next to it." Paimon stared in amazement at the high-priced incense that was being snapped up on the stall.
Ying was also dumbfounded. Wouldn't this thing be gone if it was burned? Yet there were still so many people rushing to buy it.
"You won't be cheated or fooled. The goods are genuine and the price is fair. I will use the best incense for Lord Yan to show my sincerity. He will be happy to know, right?"
"If you want to be a fairy, you have to be different. Look at this big incense stick stuck in the incense burner. It's hard not to be noticed!"
Foreign tourists hold these huge incense sticks and go to the stove to light them, and then make a wish.
"With so many incense sticks burning at the same time, I think Emperor Rock King will be suffocated to death, right?" Paimon complained as he looked at these people.
"Let's just buy some."
"Yeah. We are not the ones who are being taken advantage of."
After burning incense and making wishes at the three incense burners, Ying and Paimon also came to the front of the altar.
"That person is Ningguang, one of the seven stars of Liyue. I heard that she has an unclear relationship with that big bad guy. We have to be careful."
"I'll pay attention."
Tianquanxing Ningguang looked at the position of the sun and came to the front of the altar.
"The auspicious time has come."
