Chapter 113

Paimon scratched her head, then walked up to the gate with curiosity and confusion to open it.

Upon seeing who it was, Paimon widened her eyes and said, "A social failure... ah, no, wait, Rex Lapis!!"

Zhongli chuckled, "I only spent some of the Fatui's Mora in a past life, surely you don't need to put it that way?"

"Besides, I am no longer the Geo Archon now; as a human, it is only right to make more friends."

After a light laugh, Zhongli looked up and exchanged a glance with Gu Chen.

"More friends mean more paths to take. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner," Gu Chen said with a smile.

"This visit is rather abrupt. Besides wanting to make a friend of Mr. Gu, I also wish to ask how Mr. Gu Chen views Liyue?" Zhongli began.

Gu Chen is a visitor from a foreign land.

Unlike Lumine, who is also a visitor from a foreign land, Gu Chen has shown no signs of memory loss.

Zhongli's visit is also intended to see what the world outside Teyvat is truly like.

Gu Chen glanced at Zhongli and could not help but feel a sense of admiration.

Even after stepping down from his divine position, this Geo Archon still cares deeply for Liyue.

"Ehe!"

"Is everyone here?"

A light breeze blew in, and Venti poked his head in at the gate, holding a wine bottle in his hand with a relaxed and cheerful smile on his face.

"I knew you would come too."

Gu Chen went downstairs and pointed with his hand: "Over here, everything is already prepared."

In the vast, garden-like courtyard, there were rockeries and water pavilions, and a table of delicacies had already been set in the gazebo.

"Wow, when did you prepare all this!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

"Knowing that two friends were coming, how could I not prepare in advance?" Gu Chen raised an eyebrow and gestured with his hand: "Please."

"Please!"

Everyone took their seats, and before long, they began to chat idly.

Gu Chen also fulfilled Zhongli's wish by mentioning some of what he had seen and heard in the past:

Not knowing what he heard, at this moment, Zhongli seemed to have truly cast off his heavy burden, drinking heartily.

【Transcendental Group Chat】

Everyone was discussing the changing eras of Liyue, lamenting the abdication of Rex Lapis.

【Azhdaha】: Pfft, Morax is grinning from ear to ear!

【Zhongli】:....

【Kaeya】: Good heavens! I've hardly seen any of these dishes; this must be Gu Chen's handiwork!

【Xiangling】: Wow, some of these are dishes I've never even thought of! (Xiangling. Starry eyes)

【Tartaglia】: Mr. Zhongli is so happy, then I won't come over just yet; I'll find Mr. Gu Chen again tomorrow!

【Raiden Ei】: Envious.

【Yae Miko】: You can't be envious. Inazuma is different from Liyue; Inazuma cannot do without you. (Yae Miko. Smirk)

No matter how envious she is, she must sit obediently in the Tenshukaku.

The Raiden Shogun cannot retire; at least, the current era of Inazuma cannot lack the Raiden Shogun.

【Furina】: A toast! (Hu Tao. Smirk)

【Kaeya】: I'm in too!

【Navia】: Hehe.

【Beidou】: A toast to the Lord!

(Photo of wine)

【Dori】: A toast to the God of Mora, bless me to earn more Mora~ (Praying)

【Osial】: The Lord has retired with his work complete; from now on, Liyue will be peaceful and prosperous. Congratulations, congratulations! (Flower petals falling)

【Kaeya】: Osial has completely chickened out. (Funny)

【Osial】: What are you saying? I am merely admiring the Lord's powerful martial prowess and broad-mindedness, and respecting the great cause he has accomplished. You young one, do you understand anything at all?

【Venti】: (Funny)

Happy times are always short-lived.

Keqing had always advocated for human rule.

But now, Keqing has realized a very serious problem.

Too many matters have piled up, making Keqing feel overwhelmed for a moment.

But Keqing is not someone who gives up; she will only be more motivated, wanting to build the Liyue in her heart.

The Qixing have been exhausted these past few days.

Gu Chen clearly saw that Keqing's frequency of coming to the Yuehai Pavilion had increased, and the frequency of Ganyu going out had decreased.

Given Ganyu's personality, she probably has a place to rest in the Yuehai Pavilion.

An overtime fanatic indeed!

At the same time, Gu Chen also sparred with Tartaglia these past few days, as he had wished.

A punch with most of his strength held back almost crippled Tartaglia.

But Tartaglia was very excited and didn't care at all that he had almost died under a single punch.

Tartaglia was sent back to the dungeon to recover from his injuries; after all, he still has to participate in labor reform later. Such strong combat power should contribute well to Liyue's construction.

It wasn't just Tartaglia; the Fatui under Tartaglia's command also had to bitterly accompany him as miners.

One sudden day.

Boom!

The light curtain that had disappeared from the sky for seven days reappeared.

【Kaeya】: Yo, a new video is here?

【Kirara】: Hehe, whose past life is it this time?

(Curious)

【Klee】: We can watch the video now! (Klee. Yay)

【Venti】: Relaxation time.

【Furina】: A video! I've waited so long for you! How can the trials at the Opéra Epiclese be as good as a video! Hurry, hurry, hurry!!

【Neuvillette】: (Forehead in hand)

【Nahida】

(Nahida. Excited)

【Yun Jin】: Just in time, no plays to perform, I can watch the video to relax.

(Yun Jin. Expectant)

【Paimon】: Charge!! (Klee. Yay)

Text began to appear on both the sky and private light curtains.
