Chapter 51

"Sigh, honestly, didn't you learn your lesson from the last time you drank with them?"

Ganyu helplessly removed Jiang Yan's clothes so he could lie comfortably on the bed.

Afterward, she went out to fetch a cup of hot water and placed it on the table by Jiang Yan's bed.

Then she left and went to Guizhong's room.

A week later.

Under the intensive arrangements of Morax and the others, the day of the nation's founding finally arrived.

The news spread across the land of Liyue, and even the neighboring regions knew that a new nation had been established on the land of Liyue.

It was called Liyue!

At this very moment, in Liyue Harbor, the capital established in Liyue, the entire atmosphere felt exceptionally festive.

Everyone seemed busy; some were hanging lanterns, others were selling goods, but without exception, their faces were filled with smiles.

Today would be their most important festival, and also the day most worth remembering.

The Founding Ceremony!

Almost everyone in Morax's territory, upon hearing the news, had started tidying up a week ago.

Everyone had carefully decorated their homes, and people's faces were filled with happy smiles.

They were also wearing brand-new clothes.

This didn't just symbolize the founding of a nation; it also symbolized the departure of war.

After Morax defeated the top Archons on the land of Liyue, he had established a trend of unification.

In the days of the Archon War, everyone had been terrified, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

But at this moment, they would have no more worries!

"Little Ganyu~ Try this new outfit; I specifically picked it out from your master's place, it suits you very well!"

Jiang Yan took out a cloud-white cheongsam and said very happily.

"This is too white... it's very easy to get dirty."

"Oh, it's fine, go change into it and try it on, it will definitely look great!"

Jiang Yan said, pulling Ganyu into the room.

"Stop! I'll do it myself, you get out!"

Ganyu's pretty face blushed; she knew exactly what this lecher in front of her wanted to do.

"Tsk, we're an old married couple, it's not like I haven't seen your body, what does it matter!"

Jiang Yan's eyes rolled around, and he chuckled.

"No! Get out quickly!"

Ganyu pushed Jiang Yan out.

"Hmph! Stingy..."

Jiang Yan squatted on the ground, muttered, and waited outside the door for Ganyu to come out.

At this time, Morax, Cloud Retainer, Guizhong, and the others also walked over.

When he saw Guizhong and the others, Jiang Yan's eyes widened.

"So beautiful!"

"As expected of Sister Cloud Retainer, so clever and skillful."

Jiang Yan sighed, praising them without reservation.

"Hmph! My taste and craftsmanship, does that even need to be said?"

Cloud Retainer gave a delicate huff; wearing a cheongsam, she showed off her figure to the fullest.

Morax also walked up and handed Jiang Yan an outfit.

"You go change into this too; Menogias specifically made it for you."

Before the founding ceremony, the clothes everyone wore were designed by two people.

One was Cloud Retainer, who designed women's clothing; the outfits for Ganyu, Guizhong, and others were all designed by her.

The other was Menogias, one of the five Yakshas, who designed the men's clothing for Morax, Azhdaha, and Jiang Yan.

Morax wore a brown robe, the patterns embroidered on it were dignified and grand, and he exuded an aura of natural authority.

"Good! I'll go change into it and try it on too."

Jiang Yan nodded and turned into another room.

Not long after, Jiang Yan walked out.

He was wearing a dark cyan robe, with silver patterns resembling tree branches embroidered on it. Combined with his own handsome appearance of silver hair and pointed ears, he looked like a noble young master, elegant and dashing.

Around his neck, the snow-white little ferret looked like an exquisite ornament, coiled around his neck like the finishing touch.

"Wow~ It looks good!"

Guizhong clapped her hands and praised.

"Indeed, not bad!"

Even Cloud Retainer, who was always sharp-tongued, gave a very high evaluation.

"That's right~ Don't look at who's wearing it."

Jiang Yan chuckled narcissistically.

Before long, the door to Ganyu's room also gradually opened a crack.

Ganyu walked out, acting a bit shy.

Jiang Yan's pupils widened instantly, and he stood frozen in place.

"Wow~ As expected of Cloud Retainer's disciple, Little Ganyu's beauty is just too good!"

"Combined with this cloud-white cheongsam, it's a perfect match!"

Guizhong and Streetward Rambler both smiled and praised.

"Is... is that so? I feel a bit strange..."

Ganyu blushed; this was her first time wearing a cheongsam like this.

She looked at Jiang Yan, expecting his response.

Jiang Yan opened his mouth wide and muttered:

"This is..."

"This is just too beautiful!!!!"

Saying that, Jiang Yan walked up and pulled her into his arms.

Mmm~ The soft and fragrant little coconut goat, most comfortable!

"There are people here... let me go."

Ganyu blushed and patted Jiang Yan's chest.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes filled with smiles.

"It's still early, why don't we go for a stroll first?"

On the street.

The space between houses was filled with colorful ribbons, and pieces of paper drifted down from the sky.

These papers shimmered with colorful light under the sunlight, as if a rainbow in the sky was slowly rotating, making people intoxicated.

Some people were dancing in the air with firecrackers in their hands, while others were dancing with a large dragon head above their heads to the beat of drums; everyone was cheering happily.

Children were playing and chasing each other, all wearing new clothes, and the whole atmosphere was particularly joyful.

Jiang Yan and the others strolled for a long time, and estimating that the time was about right, they returned to Yujing Terrace to begin today's founding ceremony.

Arriving at Yujing Terrace.

At this moment, the Yujing Terrace was crowded with people, both on the surrounding streets and buildings and on the square of the Yujing Terrace itself.

They were all waiting for the arrival of Morax and the others.

Not long after, suddenly gongs and drums sounded, firecrackers went off, and Morax, wearing his robe, descended from the sky.

Descending behind him were Jiang Yan, wearing a dark cyan robe, and the adepti and Archons.

At the same time, with the arrival of Morax and the others, the entire square erupted in astonishing cheers.

After a long while, Morax raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling the commoners to quiet down.

The commoners also knew what was going to happen next, so they quieted down one after another, waiting for Morax's speech.

"Today is a day of remembrance." ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
