Chapter 289: Ganyu's gift! Keqing's feelings!

This posture was maintained until Yae Miko finished chanting the prayer.

During this time, he occasionally chatted with Luo Li about interesting things.

Ignoring Makoto's teasing, Luo Li sighed instead, "After so many years, being worshipped by the masses again, my mood is a little complicated."

Raiden Makoto felt the same.

After a full five-hundred-year absence, seeing the land and people she loved again, the gentle big sister's heart was filled with joy.

"It doesn't matter, you will get used to it soon. Having left the government duties to Ei for so long, it is time to pick them up again."

Makoto playfully took his hand and scratched his palm.

Because their position was high enough, no one saw this scene.

Luo Li denied it, "That is your business, it has nothing to do with me. Five hundred years ago, I was already in a 'hands-off' state; you cannot demand that I change my attitude now."

Raiden Makoto pouted slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction with his statement.

"This place is not just mine alone; you have a share in it too."

"It's fine, Ei is still here."

"..."

Pretending to be angry, she pinched his hand. Raiden Makoto bit her lip gently, her eyes watery as she stared at him.

Luo Li could not handle this posture at all and immediately agreed.

"Alright, I will contribute my share in the future."

"That's more like it."

Only then did Makoto's mood lift.

Afterward.

When the official ceremony ended, the time had already reached seven o'clock.

Night began to shroud the land.

Luo Li and the others had simply made an appearance and finished by letting the people enjoy the joy of the festival, but the joy of the Inazuman people had only just begun.

As fireworks exploded in the pitch-black sky, the blooming light illuminated the Tenshukaku, making it appear and disappear.

Compared to the coldness on the outside, the interior of the Tenshukaku, after the official ceremony ended, was much livelier.

As gods, even the delegations from the six nations were not qualified to be received by Luo Li and Raiden Makoto.

Therefore, the delegations from the four nations other than Mondstadt and Liyue were all hosted by the Tenryou Commission and the Yashiro Commission.

As for the leaders of the Mondstadt and Liyue delegations, due to their intimate relationship with Luo Li, they were granted permission to enter the Tenshukaku.

This was also the reason why the Tenshukaku became lively.

Inside the main hall!

"Teacher, this is the calligraphy and painting that Mr. Zhongli sent you, along with his congratulations."

Standing below the hall, Ganyu spoke softly, conveying the words Zhongli had asked her to pass on.

After finishing, she displayed a painting of mountains and seas from ancient times, presenting it to Luo Li at the head of the hall.

She was the first person to present a gift in private.

The painting of mountains and seas was extremely majestic, with a total length of about one zhang and three chi.

The three gods located on the high mountain appeared to be one man and two women in terms of physique and attire, with a roaring giant dragon behind them, and the people worshipping at the foot of the mountain below.

Further away, there were also gods and their kin who had been slain, fled, submitted, or were sealed.

On one side was peace and stability, while on the other was a river of blood, forming a very distinct partition in the middle.

Luo Li was slightly distracted; coming before the painting, he seemed to recall memories from two thousand years ago.

The so-called three gods above were him, Guizhong, and Morax, who walked the earth in a female form at that time, also known as the Geo Archon Empress.

"He actually gave this painting to me."

This painting was an ancient work that Zhongli had painted on his own initiative, feeling the sense of the era, and it had always been treasured.

It had been at least two thousand years since then.

Gently exhaling, he nodded and said, "Zhongli is quite sensible."

Ganyu smiled slightly, then shyly took an object from her bosom.

"And this is something I made myself for Teacher; it might be a bit cheap."

Luo Li looked over with interest, only to see that it was an exquisite safety knot, with a Qilin pattern printed on it.

Ganyu blushed and said, "I spent three days making it look like this; please don't dislike it, Teacher."

The attentive young woman had discovered that Luo Li liked to hang things on his waist; sometimes it was jade, sometimes it was some small magical artifacts.

But the hanging rope used to embellish them was not very eye-catching, so she took the initiative to make one by hand.

One could see that the center of the safety knot was wrapped in a layer of jade silk, with the characters "Ganyu" embroidered in extremely small gold thread, and "Luo Li" on the back.

Taking the safety knot from the Qilin girl's hand, Luo Li seemed to have discovered this small detail, but he did not point it out.

"I like it very much."

Gently pressing his hand on the girl's head to stroke it, Luo Li expressed his fondness with a smile.

Ganyu lowered her head shyly, almost burying her chin in the coconut milk in Qiqi's mouth.

·· ·Please give flowers· ·······

Seeing this, Sangonomiya Kokomi's eyes flickered for a moment, and she followed by standing up.

"Father, there is also a gift from your daughter."

A moment ago she was still chatting with Keqing and the others, but seeing that Ganyu had actually taken the lead, she clearly could not sit still.

Ganyu stepped aside at the right time, leaving the space for Kokomi.

Not only Kokomi, but subsequently Eula, Noelle, and Keqing all presented their gifts one after another.

"Mr. Luo Li, to express my congratulations, I present to you an ancient object of the Lawrence clan that has not been defiled."

What was displayed from Eula's hand was an artifact shimmering with the ancient aura of time.

"Mr. Luo Li, I am not as magnificent as Miss Eula; it is just a tea set carved by myself."

0 .... 0

Noelle's tone was as gentle as ever, but compared to Ganyu, the little maid was not so shy.

As the wealthiest, Keqing took out a gorgeously decorated box.

"Here, a limited-edition piece of jewelry that Mingxing Jewelry just released. I ordered it specifically. That person Ningguang even wanted to pay ten times the price, but I bought it for twenty times!"

Speaking of this, Keqing seemed to have the satisfaction of having a great revenge, and her tone was very proud.

After all, that person always relied on having more money to buy all the jewelry she liked at a premium.

This time she had retaliated once, venting a little bit of her anger.

She wasn't without money herself; although she didn't have as much as that person, it was just buying jewelry, so what if she spent dozens of times more?

"What kind of jewelry is inside? Does it have a name?"

Luo Li did not open it immediately after receiving it, but asked proactively.

For some reason, Keqing's gaze dodged a little, and she said vaguely, "It's just the treasure of the Mingxing Jewelry shop."

At this time, Ganyu, who saw the luxurious box clearly, said in surprise, "Eh, isn't this the couple's set that Mingxing Jewelry is promoting? I heard that if you give it to the person you like, you can be together, and it's limited to one set per year..."

She still wanted to speak, but was silenced by Keqing, who was annoyed by shame and defended herself: "It's not that, this was just packed in that box, it's not what's inside!"

Unfortunately, her behavior of trying to cover up had already exposed the truth.

Luo Li paused, glanced at Keqing, whose earlobes were half red and who dared not look at him, and silently put it away.
