Chapter 1280 Take a break, the God of Man, cats and Keqing, advertising and gifts

The sunlight falls on the raindrops, reflecting crystal light.

Two days later, in front of the sacred tree.

"I heard that the first full moon night of each year is the Lantern Festival in Liyue." Nashida sat on a swing woven with emerald green vines. "It's very close."

The moon in Teyvat is always round. The first full moon night is January 1st. The Lantern Festival lasts for fifteen or twenty days, and the festive atmosphere reaches its climax on January 15th.

"Teleport over!"

"This month is a holiday for the Forest King."

Jiang Yi looked at the scholars coming and going below.

"There is still a lot of work to do in the Order of the Lords. If I have some free time, maybe I can sneak to Liyue one day and watch the lively festival of this foreign country." Nashida swung down from the swing. "Then I will rely on your help to introduce me to the God of Rock and the immortals you know."

"Hmm! According to Liyue's customs, what gifts should I prepare?"

She reached out and lifted up Jiang Yi, who had turned back into a kitten.

"Actually..." Jiang Yi raised his head, "It's okay for me not to go back for the New Year."

"But isn't this what you planned before?" Nashida wondered. "Besides, even if you are not the King of the Forest, as the God of Man, you should take a rest."

"Festivals can make people relax. The excitement of a circle of people gathering together to celebrate is something that even God envies."

"It's also helpful for maintaining your humanity!"

"If you have a burden in your heart, just go and get treatment!"

Jiang Yi looked at Nashida. Although he said so, there was another reason why he didn't want to go back, that was his injury had not healed.

His current state is a bit delicate. The struggle between humanity and divinity has caused him to not transform back into a normal human form.

If it is forced to change, it will only become a bunch of indescribable human-shaped flesh and blood creatures made of hyphae. If it goes back to see people, it will probably bring terror.

Normally, when he has the opportunity to chat with friends in Mondstadt, Inazuma, and Liyue, and really needs to show his facial features, he uses an illusion to create a fake face.

"I've already persuaded Ying and Paimon to return to Liyue!" Nashida said, "Before we get into something serious, everyone should calm down so they don't get nervous!"

"Ying and Paimeng are back!" Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Nashida had a conversation with Ying and Paimon without her knowing.

“Just think of it as... a business trip for Xumi, to discuss the opening of the Floating Life Flying Boat route with the Seven Stars of Liyue…” Nashida thought of another reason to convince Jiang Yi to leave Liyue.

Jiang Yi laughed: "The Forest King does not belong to the political system of Xumi City. And Fusheng Flying Boat... I am the founder of Fusheng Technology Rune Company."

"All right!"

"Since you said so, Nashida, I will go back to Liyue for a walk. After the festival, I will come back."

"But before you go back, I need you to use the Heart of the Grass God to do me a favor."

"Bless my illusion so that the immortals won't be able to see through it."

Nashida agreed: "Then I will share some of the power of dreams with you!"

A green light enveloped Jiang Yi.

Casts an illusion that even gods cannot see through.

……

"Thousands of sails gather together, and the jade screen opens."

"I don't know if Jiang Yi will come back to witness this scene during this year's Lantern Festival."

A girl with purple cat ears and twin ponytails was sitting on the bamboo railing of the wooden bridge, enjoying the sea breeze.

In front of her was the bustling Liyue Harbor.

It was the Lantern Festival and the affairs were busy, but when she reached the bridge at the entrance of Liyue Harbor, the scene she saw when she looked up still made her lose her mind.

I couldn't help but come to the arch bridge of the archway, and the other long bamboo bridge connecting to the sea lookout lighthouse.

This was the place where she usually bathed in the moonlight and gazed at the bright lights of Liyue Harbor.

Here you can see golden cranes in the sea, two tall buildings, and the Liyue Harbor decorated with lights and colorful silks connecting the buildings.

In the sky as blue as the sea, golden flying boats travel back and forth among the clouds of Liyue.

A long rainbow fell to the ground, and a transcendent swordsman walked out.

Several translucent jade screens are integrated into the Liyue city tower. They are thin and translucent, like long strips or squares of silk. Under normal circumstances, they automatically blend into the surroundings, either invisible or part of the decoration, but when needed, they instantly change into brilliant colors.

Thousands of magnificent words, patterns, music, and beautiful scenery were played and projected...

Every tourist who comes to Liyue marvels at the changes that have taken place in Liyue during this period.

Earth-shaking changes, changing with each passing day.

Young people holding jade slips cheered and gathered together, taking photos in front of the bridge gate.

The soothing and light music was spread throughout Liyue Harbor through miniature instruments disguised as stones, plants, and flowers.

The people of Liyue, who had not been home for a year, returned to their hometown and felt as if they had fallen into a beautiful dream. They saw their home but did not dare to recognize it.

"Is this... Liyue Harbor?"

They asked questions that made the Qianyan Army laugh.

"This has always been... Liyue Harbor."

Qianyan Army’s answer made them even more afraid to recognize each other.

The Qun Yu Pavilion, located in the sky, looks more and more like the residence of immortals and gods in heaven.

Keqing slowly withdrew her gaze and secretly mocked the overly extravagant Ningguang.

She turned her fair face to the side and noticed that there was another living being on the bamboo railing of the wooden bridge, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar city just like her.

A kitten with blue eyes and fur as white as snow.

Quiet and elegant.

Thinking back carefully, the cat was there before she came over, and it was she who disturbed it.

However, when she sat next to it, the cat did not run away in panic, or get angry and refuse to let her sit. It seemed very easy to get along with.

"For those of you who live in the city and pursue quietness, does the music of the Lantern Festival that resounds throughout the harbor seem too noisy?" Keqing reached out and tentatively stroked the cat.

Perhaps her cat-ear hairstyle was too deceptive and friendly to cats, the cat did not struggle, but its deep blue eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.

Keqing didn’t understand.

The cat raised its paw and gently blocked her hand.

Time seemed to stand still.

"Eh?" Keqing was incredulous. Was she rejected by this cat? She was obviously very lucky with cats.

I didn't have any snacks for the cat in my pocket.

It's a bit frustrating.

But she is a person who never gives up.

"good!"

"Just touch it!"

This cat seems to have a good personality.

I'm going back to Yujingtai to work soon, so I have to use some extraordinary measures.

She looked at the handsome and cute cat.

With lightning speed, he grabbed the cat under the arms and held it in his arms.

Be prepared for the cat to struggle out.

The cat seemed to be stunned, or maybe it was just too gentle and didn't resist for fear of hurting anyone.

"Yes! Meeting is fate."

“Let’s take a picture!”

Keqing held the cat to her chest with one hand, took out a jade slip with a purple shell with the other hand, adjusted the camera, and took a photo of herself and the cat.

The cat in front of me has beautiful fur and eyes, but I may not see it again next time.

Of course, we should cherish this opportunity to take pictures.

He put away the jade slip and put the cat on his lap and stroked it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, she perked up and looked at the report sent in the jade slip.

Thanks to the jade slip, she reduced a lot of processes and time running to various departments, and her work efficiency increased many times, so that she can take a break after work like now.

"If the people below could be more proactive, we could accomplish more work in a day." She looked helpless.

Today, Liyue Harbor's operating efficiency is already very high compared to before, but Keqing is still a little unsatisfied.

He put away the jade slip and put the cat back on the bamboo fence.

“I won’t disturb you from enjoying the scenery.” She lightly jumped off the bamboo railing, and her legs wrapped in black stockings stood on the wooden bridge again. With a clattering sound, she entered working mode and quickly headed for Liyue Harbor.

The cat had snow-white fur and a stream of water was coming out from its neck.

"It's over! Lady Nashida's dream power has no effect. As soon as she came back, she was suspected by Miss Keqing." A pure water elf appeared next to the cat.

The cat said, "It's just a coincidence."

The cat ran on the bamboo fence and transformed into a human after entering a large tree on the road in front of Liyue Harbor.

His black hair falls to his shoulders, his eyes are pitch black, and he wears feathered clothes and cloud boots.

After many months away, I finally returned to Liyue.

Jiang Yi was feeling emotional.

"Liyue, there are also people who look down at their heads." He looked at the young man who was looking down at the jade slip and patted his clothes.

The illusion is very real and confuses the five senses.

He returned to Liyue in the form of a cat, transforming himself from a one-eyed kitten with colorful fur into a cat with snow-white body and blue eyes. He stood on the bamboo railing of the wooden bridge, gazing at the drastically changed Liyue, lost in thought as he recalled the past days.

The appearance of the human god will inevitably arouse cheers from the crowd.

And in cat form, he won't be disturbed.

Give him enough quiet.

But I didn’t expect to meet Keqing suddenly.

Is this fate?

“…Senior Sister, I’m back to Liyue.” He took out the jade slip and sent a message to Shen He.

"I'll pick you up!" the message came back quickly.

On the Liyue Bridge, a low-key carriage arrived and Jiang Yi and Yandora got on.

There is a small screen on the carriage.

The news is playing.

"During the Lantern Festival, all tourists and citizens, please pay attention to safety."

"On the east side of the mountain range where the Seven Heavenly God Statue is located in Yunlai Sea, there have been sightings of relic hunters and young rock dragon lizards. The Thousand Rock Army of Yunlai Port has sent people to deal with it. Please do not leave the official road if you get off the Fusheng Flying Boat at Yunlai Port."

"The following are pictures provided by eyewitnesses."

……

"Next news."

"Travelers going to Qingcezhuang to pick sprouting bamboo shoots, please be careful of attacks by wild boars."

"If you are injured, please call the Qianyan Army Jade Slip rescue number, 1000."

……

"Emperor Yanwang has returned to the human world! Give me some money for the jade slips and I will help pass it on to him to bless your family with safety..."

"I am the Rock King, the God of Wealth. If you give me one Mora, I will give you ten Mora in return."

"Remember, anyone who claims to be the resurrected Rock King is a fraud."

……

"How is it? In such a short time, the jade slip technology has been promoted to thousands of households, thanks to the strong support of Qixing and the diligent work of many rune researchers who have changed their professions from exorcism families." Shen He sat next to Jiang Yi.

Her snow-white hair is still tied into a red ponytail, but her once ethereal temperament is now filled with the temperament of a scholar who has experienced the world and developed technology.

He is a bit like Master Liuyunjiefeng.

Jiang Yi sat in the comfortable carriage, knowing that Shen He was asking him what he thought of Liyue Harbor at the moment.

He lifted the car curtain and looked outside.
