Chapter 515

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

"..."

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

Hearing Luo Li couldn't resist this posture at all and immediately agreed.

"Alright, I'll contribute my share in the future."

"That's more like it."

Only then did Makoto's spirits lift.

Afterwards.

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

Night began to shroud this land.

Hearing Luo Li and the others had merely made an appearance and taken the opportunity to let the citizens enjoy the festival, but the joy of the Inazuman citizens had only just begun.

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

Compared to the coldness of the exterior, the interior of the Tenshukaku, now that the official ceremony had concluded, was much livelier.

As deities, even the delegations from the six nations were not qualified to be received by Hearing 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 close relationship with Hearing Luo Li, they were granted permission to enter the Tenshukaku.

This was also the reason why the Tenshukaku became lively.

Inside the main pavilion!

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

Standing below the dais, Lady Ganyu spoke in a soft voice, relaying the words Zhong Li had asked her to convey.

After speaking, she displayed a landscape painting from ancient times, presenting it for Hearing Luo Li to view from his seat above.

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

The landscape painting was extremely magnificent, 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 based on their figures and attire, with a roaring giant dragon behind them, and the masses worshipping at the foot of the mountain below.

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

One side was peaceful and stable, while the other was a river of blood, forming a very distinct partition in the middle.

Hearing Luo Li was slightly dazed; he came before the painting, seemingly recalling memories from two thousand years ago.

The so-called three gods above were him, Lady 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 originally inspired by Zhong Li, who had taken the initiative to depict an ancient painting with a sense of the era, and it had been treasured ever since.

It must have been at least two thousand years old by now.

Exhaling lightly, he nodded and said: "Zhong Li is quite sensible."

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

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

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

Lady Ganyu blushed and said: "It took me three days to make it look like this; please don't dislike it, Teacher."

The observant young girl had noticed that Hearing Luo Li liked to hang things on his waist; sometimes it was jade, and other times it was small magical artifacts.

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

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

Taking the decorative knot from the Qilin girl's hands, Hearing 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, Hearing Luo Li expressed his fondness with a smile.

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

·· ·Seeking flowers· ·······

Seeing this, Miss Kokomi's eyes flickered for a moment, and she stood up as well.

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

A moment ago she was still chatting with Miss Keqing and the others, but seeing that Lady Ganyu had actually taken the lead, she clearly couldn't sit still.

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

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

"Mr. Hearing Luo Li, as a token of congratulations, I will gift you an ancient object of the Lawrence clan that has never been tarnished."

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

"Mr. Hearing Luo Li, I don't have anything as magnificent as Miss Eula's; it's just a tea set I carved myself."

0.... 0

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

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

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

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

After all, that woman had always used her wealth to buy all the jewelry she liked at a premium.

This time, she had taken revenge once, venting her anger a little.

It wasn't as if she didn't have money; although not as much as that woman, 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?"

Hearing Luo Li received it but did not open it immediately, instead asking proactively.

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

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

She wanted to say more, but was covered by the mouth of the embarrassed and angry Miss Keqing, who defended: "It's not, this is just packed in that box, it's not inside!"

Unfortunately, her attempt to cover up had already exposed the truth.

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