Chapter 385: New Manga

"I almost forgot Ganyu has this habit."

Watching Ganyu asleep, Keqing only realized it moments later.

Ganyu has a habit.

At every nap time, she instantly falls asleep, regardless of the setting.

At first, it was merely a joke circulating among the Liyue Seven Stars.

But once, while accompanying a certain generation of "Tianxuan Star,"

after lunch, full and drowsy, Ganyu curled up right into a roadside pile of dry hay.

And was transported all the way to Di Hua Isle.

Only when her head slammed into the ground during unloading did Ganyu wake up.

Thus, during those three hours of round-trip travel,

the "Tianxuan Star," who had been searching everywhere for Ganyu and knew she would never disappear without notice,

nearly filed a missing persons report.

And this time, before Ganyu even finished lunch, she fell asleep outright.

"Then we'll have to wait until she wakes up before taking her. Let's send the Qianyan Army ahead first."

Ningguang spoke up.

"Mm!"

Keqing nodded.

Immediately, under the orders of the two Liyue Seven Stars, the Qianyan Army began moving.

It quickly drew the attention of Liyue's citizens.

"The Qianyan Army is mobilizing—has something happened?"

"I'm not sure, but it must be something important."

"Don't worry—if anything's amiss, the Seven Stars will announce it. Rest assured."

"That's true!"

Aside from a few onlookers, most citizens simply laughed it off.

Because this sort of thing had happened often before.

Many citizens had even grown accustomed to it.

……

Jieyou Bookstore.

During the previous time, Han Feng and Yingmei and the others had enjoyed a hearty lunch.

Now, full and satisfied, they rested in their chairs.

"Boss Han, we'll be off again."

Yingmei stretched lazily and smiled.

"Mm."

Han Feng nodded, then added,

"If you arrive in Liyue tomorrow, you might have the chance to witness the Summoning Immortal Ceremony."

In Han Feng's view, Yingmei was arriving earlier than in the original plot.

Even if the plot changed somewhat,

it shouldn't be missed.

"Summoning Immortal Ceremony? What's that?"

Yingmei asked curiously.

"The Summoning Immortal Ceremony is Liyue's grand annual ritual, each time presided over by a different Star.

The Rock King Emperor will appear during the ceremony in a half-dragon, half-phoenix form,

and then guide Liyue's governance for the coming year.

This year, it will be presided over by Tianquan Star Ningguang."

Han Feng gave a brief explanation.

"So Liyue has such a grand event? We need to hurry, Xiao Paimeng."

Yingmei said excitedly.

"No problem!"

Xiao Paimeng made an "OK" gesture.

She had learned it from the manga.

With a goal in mind, the two stepped through the portal and set off again.

"Noelle, open for business!"

After Yingmei and the others left, Han Feng instructed.

Full and satisfied, it was time to begin afternoon operations.

"Yes, Boss!"

Noelle nodded, stepped outside, and removed the sign that had read "Closed for Break."

Perhaps because of the earlier closure, many customers had been waiting outside.

As soon as Noelle took down the sign,

a crowd quickly entered.
