Chapter 542

Xiao Gong chuckled and said.

At this moment, Xiao Gong's originally fair and tender little face was covered in black gunpowder.

Like a little spotted kitten.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan and the others couldn't help but laugh.

"Xiao Gong, don't you want to wash your face?"

"After spending the whole afternoon, you've turned into a little spotted kitten."

Jiang Yan squatted down and gently wiped the gunpowder off Xiao Gong's face.

"Huh?"

Xiao Gong froze; when she saw the gunpowder residue on Jiang Yan's fingers, her little face flushed red.

She quickly put down the firework she was holding and ran into the bathroom to wash her face.

After washing her face, Xiao Gong hugged the fireworks and led Jiang Yan and the others to a larger open area.

"My father's Yanhua Society will have fireworks later—let's light these first, then go see the ones my father prepared."

Xiao Gong set down all the fireworks she was holding and carefully arranged them in order.

"Then, it's better if my lord lights them."

After Xiao Gong arranged the fireworks, Jiang Yan walked to her side, picked her up, and placed her beside Sha Luo, smiling:

"You've been busy all afternoon—you should at least see whether your own fireworks turn out nice."

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Xiao Gong, who had originally wanted to light them herself, thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, alright, big brother, be careful—the fireworks ignite quickly."

Xiao Gong warned Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan nodded and walked to the center of the fireworks.

"Little ones, the sound's going to be loud—cover your ears."

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

The four little ones of Little Ningguang obediently covered their ears as Jiang Yan instructed.

Seeing that the four little ones had covered their ears, Jiang Yan didn't delay any longer.

He extended his hand and activated Vector Manipulation.

"The fireworks are about to bloom!"

Jiang Yan suddenly shouted loudly, then snapped his fingers sharply.

Vector Manipulation activated!

Almost instantly, all the fireworks were ignited by Jiang Yan's snap.

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

Jiang Yan swiftly returned to the side of the little ones after snapping his fingers.

As he stepped over, a series of "shhh, shhh, shhh" sounds erupted behind him.

Everyone instinctively looked up and saw a streak of crimson flame shooting straight into the sky.

Then, brilliant, colorful fireworks exploded across the heavens.

Extremely beautiful—and utterly magnificent!

Everyone stood quietly, admiring the fireworks.

The fireworks vanished in an instant, like flowers blooming and then fading.

Jiang Yan stood beside Little Ganyu and Lei Dian Zhen; beneath him sat five little kids huddled together, covering their ears.

The fireworks bloomed from above, their dazzling, radiant light instantly illuminating everyone.

"How wonderful..."

Jiang Yan murmured involuntarily.

Though the brilliant fireworks fade swiftly, and beautiful flowers wilt after blooming,

in that instant when they bloom, like flowers in full bloom, they leave a Deep Imprint in everyone's heart.

Becoming an eternity in that single moment.

Soon after, all the fireworks had finished blooming.

"Huh? They're gone already..."

Little Ningguang said sadly; the other little ones nodded along, their eyes filled with lingering longing.

Clearly, these little ones hadn't had enough of the fireworks.

"Haha, don't worry—didn't Xiao Gong just say?"

"There's another Yanhua Society coming soon—also made by Xiao Gong's family."

"That one's probably even longer."

Jiang Yan chuckled, gently ruffling the heads of the little ones, speaking softly.

"That's right, right, no need to rush—there's more coming!"

Xiao Gong, freshly done with lighting the fireworks, was thoroughly satisfied and smiled at everyone.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, the next Yanhua Society will begin when the She Fengxing's Shenli family officially announces the Rongcai Festival's start, right?"

Lei Dian Zhen's eyes flickered with thought as she spoke.

Today was the Rongcai Festival; though daytime activities were available, the true Rongcai Festival only officially began at night.

As the kami of Inazuma, the She Fengxing had already submitted all preparations for the Rongcai Festival's opening ceremony two days prior.

So Lei Dian Zhen was well aware of what was coming next.

"Mm-hmm, big sister knows so much!"

Yoko nodded, smiling with great delight.

Clearly, Yoko was also very much looking forward to the upcoming Yanhua Society.

1.7 Speaking of the Commission, Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the promise he and Little Ganyu had made two nights ago.

It seems that tonight, Kamisato Ayaka and Kamisato Ayato, those two little ones, will also make their formal debut.

Since he had already promised Little Ganyu to go see her, he might as well go support her right now!

Thinking this, Jiang Yan spoke to the women and little toddlers around him.

"Then let's go, just in time to see the opening ceremony of the Commission."

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, the others naturally agreed readily.

"Let's go!"

Yoko shouted, grabbed Sara's small hand, and ran toward the place where the Commission was holding the event.

Seeing Yoko's happy state, the other three little girls excitedly chased after them.

"Run a bit slower! Don't go so fast!"

"Really..."

Watching the little ones in this state, Jiang Yan couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Beside him, Ganyu, Raiden Makoto, and the other women were also smiling as they watched the toddlers running ahead.

The group walked onto the bustling, lively main street; at this very moment, on the street, because the festival's opening ceremony was about to officially begin.

So the street was packed with people everywhere.

This scale was far too much larger than during the daytime.

Presumably, many people were busy during the day, and only after finishing their work and returning home would these people come out with their families to stroll through this festival belonging to Inazuma.

Jiang Yan and his group arrived at the location of the opening ceremony festival held by the Commission and found a nearby spot to wait.
