Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Hey Zhongli, what are you doing? This friend from Mondstadt clearly looks like he's here to do business at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Hu Tao slapped away Zhongli's hand that was pinching Venti, then introduced herself enthusiastically.

"My name is Hu Tao, I am the Hall Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"Hall Master Hu Tao is truly beautiful and kind-hearted; you will certainly become even bigger in the future." Venti laughed, stepping back to the side and nimbly dodging behind Xuan Ge.

"What 'become bigger'?" Hu Tao was somewhat confused. "Is this a compliment in the Mondstadt local dialect?"

"Of course." Venti nodded happily. "This saying of 'becoming bigger' has been passed down from ancient times to the present."

"Wow, really?" Hu Tao gestured at her chin. "As expected, today is my lucky day. Not only did I encounter Guest Elder Xuan Ge, I also learned a Mondstadt ancient saying."

Saying this, Hu Tao picked up a Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Discount Coupon and stuffed it into Venti's hand.

"Come, don't be polite. Today the Rock King Lord has ascended, and we also gained Guest Elder Xuan Ge. This one is buy one get two free, valid for a lifetime."

Venti held the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor Special Offer, looking at both sides: "Can this be exchanged for alcohol?"

"Of course it can~"

Hearing this, Venti's eyes lit up: "Really? This can be exchanged for alcohol at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"

"That is natural."

Seeing this customer take the bait so easily, Hu Tao didn't hide it either, directly bringing out Liyue culture.

"If relatives and friends pass away, send them to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. At that time, there will be a group of people hosting a banquet."

"This is good, this is good." Venti said, then immediately took out the Relic of Divine Might. "Hall Master, look at this. How many banquets can this be exchanged for?"

"What is this?" Hu Tao looked at this purple-gold metal-like fragment. She just wanted to reach out and touch it, but Xuan Ge snatched it a step ahead.

The corners of Venti's mouth curled up two hundred million pixels.

He is Xuan Ge!

"Back then, this hitting me really hurt." Venti touched his stomach, meaningfully.

Xuan Ge becoming Emperor was of no concern to him. After all, the mortal world will ultimately be entrusted to human hands.

But when Xuan Ge was about to reach the endpoint, he pointed his spear tip at the Gods.

Of course, he didn't care about that either. He, Zhongli, and the other Dusty World Rulers had already started throwing fixed matches.

After all, following Xuan Ge meant eating well and drinking well, and he could also see world peace.

But... Xuan Ge suddenly changed into a different person. He wanted to reshape the rules, as if the mortal world he could no longer look up to, wanting to go become a God King.

At the time, he once thought Xuan Ge had taken a fancy to the Death Archon, because Xuan Ge kept staring at Ruo Na Wa's chest, unable to move his gaze away.

But when the Ya Jiao Chang Spear pierced through his divine body, he knew... Xuan Ge had gone mad.....

Hu Tao glanced at Venti, then seeing Xuan Ge's pensive expression, she asked: "Xuan Ge, do you recognize it?"

Xuan Ge looked at this fragment of the Ya Jiao Spear, murmuring: "Although the material is slightly insufficient, the craftsmanship is extremely excellent."

For his own weapon, he could tell at a glance, because this was forged by Ren for him.

Although the color is different, the pattern won't lie. After all, my requirements are many.

He practically wished he could teach Ren to forge hand-in-hand.

"Hehe~ Old Man, he says your craftsmanship is bad." Hearing this, Venti immediately ran to Zhongli's side to tease.

"At least the Ya Jiao was smashed by the Heavenly Nail, rather than shattering after walking a circle out of the Favonius Cathedral." Zhongli responded blandly, and dealt Venti a critical hit.

"Uh... hehe~" Venti laughed awkwardly, then in one second switched states. He looked at Xuan Ge and said: "Guest Elder, Guest Elder, can I exchange this for a meal of wine?"

"No." Xuan Ge handed the fragment to Venti.

Venti didn't take it. Instead, he reached out and stroked the back of Xuan Ge's hand, then helped him close his fingers around the fragment.

"Why not? Just now Hall Master Hu Tao said there would be a group of people hosting a banquet."

"That the hell is a funeral banquet." Xuan Ge got chills from Venti's touch. He shook off Venti's clingy hand.

Seeing Xuan Ge disdain him, Venti wasn't sad. Instead, he laughed hehe.

Because Xuan Ge accepted the fragment. At that time, he could go to Inazuma, find Raiden Ei, and take the weapon back.

But thinking of this, Venti sighed.

Rosalind, why are you still staying at the Northland Bank in Liyue!?

Come out and stroll the streets. Running into Xuan Ge by chance, isn't that fragrant?

"Ah~ Venti, how come you're here?" The God's Mouth Paimon, also known as the White Floating Thing in Xuan Ge's mouth, flew over.

Seeing the Traveler and Paimon, Venti greeted them with a smile: "Ah ya ya~ As expected, the wind let you come see me."

Paimon asked curiously: "Are you also here to watch the Rite of Descension?"

"That is natural. Today really let me broaden my horizons." Venti finished speaking and leaned closer to Xuan Ge's side again.

Zhongli saw Venti hiding half his body behind Xuan Ge. He didn't make a sound.

"Yeah, today really broadened my horizons." Paimon nodded, somewhat depressed. "I and Lumine originally wanted to find the Geo Archon, but didn't expect....."

Pfft—

"Hm?" Paimon looked at this White-Haired Handsome Guy who couldn't hold back a laugh. "Venti, who is this?"

Venti tiptoed, put his arm around Xuan Ge's shoulder, and patted his own chest with the other hand: "Ah ya~ This is my Great General."

Zhongli's smile deepened.

"Great General?" Paimon crossed her arms, touching her chin. "But I heard the only one who can be called Great General is the Divine Might General from hundreds of years ago."

"He can too....."

Venti had just blurted out four words when he shut his mouth.

"Wow~ what was that quake just now?" Hu Tao stepped on the ground, then hopped a bit.

Liyue Harbor seemed to vibrate a moment ago, but it might have been an illusion.

Venti: Not hehe.

"Right, what are you guys going to do?" Venti immediately changed the topic; if he kept talking, he'd probably be carried out and beaten by the Old Man.

"Sigh~" Paimon sighed, "We were watching the Rite of Descension just now, got too close, and were treated as the culprit."

Afterward Paimon recounted how she and Lumine encountered Fatui Harbinger Childe during their escape, obtained the Omen of Clarity, and had to go seek an adeptus.

"Seeking Immortals in the Mortal World is not easy. But with the Omen of Clarity, it may fulfill your request." Zhongli sensed that replica on Lumine's body; he already knew where it came from.

Lumine heard this and nodded.

Seeing this yellow-haired girl stay silent the whole time, Xuan Ge pointed at his own throat.

"I'm not mute." Lumine spoke to explain, "Paimon said it all, so what should I say?"

".... That really is an interesting combination." Seeing Lumine's somewhat scummy expression, Xuan Ge guessed this one was most likely the protagonist.

Actually this wasn't hard to guess; from the Mondstadt Archon's attitude toward Lumine, plus her distinctive clothing, and a white floating thing — however you look at it, it's suspicious.

Hearing the word combination, Venti looked at Xuan Ge and Lumine, then a white line flashed through his mind.

Ghost idea generating.

"Right, since Lumine seeks immortals, I say Xuan Ge you go together too."

Zhongli spoke to stop him: "Venti, Hall Master Hu still has matters here."

"Ah, isn't there me?" Venti patted his little chest, "Seeing off the Rock King Lord — I don't want to miss that in this lifetime."

"Oh, is that so." Zhongli's crossed arms dropped to his sides.

"Since you want to, then stay."
