So, having nowhere else to stay, they had no choice but to seek refuge with Fang Qiu.

"I see. Why don't you take a shower to warm up first? We'll go prepare rooms for you."

Fang Qiu smiled and said, "By the way, have you eaten yet? There should still be plenty of ingredients at home. If you want to eat, since Sister Ying'er isn't here, well... we'll have to trouble the travelers."

"Thank you, Fang Qiu. I'll leave it to the traveler."

Paimon's eyes lit up.

"Ah."

Fang Qiu smiled and nodded, but just as she was about to tidy up the room, she suddenly remembered that she and Shen He had bathed in the pool and needed to change the water, after all…

So she quickly said, "I'll take you to the bathroom."

Chapter 690 The Grand Lantern Festival

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather is overcast.

The snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

A chilly breeze swept across Liyue Harbor, dispelling the fog that had gathered during the winter night.

It was early morning on the day of the Lantern Festival.

It was completely bright outside.

Liyue Harbor was bustling like never before, with the Lantern Festival atmosphere reaching its peak. Merchants along the way were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, having already made preparations.

The fleet from Inazuma and the caravan from Mondstadt also arrived at the port and post station last night.

A large crowd had gathered in the square below Scarlet Cloud Slope, all eagerly anticipating the exciting moment.

This is the Liyue Publishing booth.

Soon, there will be an annual book selection, a lecture by author Fang Qiu as a lecturer, a follow-up book signing event for Fang Qiu's new book series "Collapse", and promotion for its film and television adaptation.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating it.

"Hey bro, what time is it? Why haven't we started yet?"

"What's the rush? You've asked three or four times in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"I'm in a hurry, aren't I? Those brainless fans of Fang Qiu are praising her as a great beauty with white hair. I want to see if it's true."

"Laughable, you actually believe that? You might as well believe that Inatsuma woman over there is Inatsuma's Thunder God."

"Yeah, wow, but you know what, that woman over there is really pretty."

"Now that you mention it, it's true... It's a pity it's too high, not my type."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Take a piss and look in the mirror. People wouldn't even glance at you if you passed by, and you're already criticizing them."

"Hey, why are you swearing?"

"You're such a jerk, telling the truth is considered an insult, right? So you won't let me say it?"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that... Let's talk about something practical. I heard a rumor the other day, supposedly from the editorial department..."

"They've arrived, saying Himeko has a storyline in the new work."

"There's a plot twist? Does that mean Himeko didn't die?"

"Yes!"

"Unbelievable, that old scoundrel Fang Qiu would actually do such a good thing."

"Moreover, it is said that this issue also features a new book by the author of that cat fairy."

"As expected of the Lantern Festival! Liyue Publishing has prepared two surprises in a row!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

Besides discussing Fang Qiu's new book, there's also discussion about who will win the Best Book of the Year award.

The most intense competition is for the top spot.

The debate over whether to choose "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or "Journey to the West" has escalated into a full-scale tug-of-war, with both sides holding firm to their positions and arguing vehemently against each other.

In particular, there were several elderly men with white hair who looked very learned. They argued so fiercely that they were almost cursing each other.

Those around them were terrified, fearing the other person might faint.

One of the young men, dressed in green, turned his gaze away from the woman in purple who was staring at him, and instead looked at the group of arguing old men. He then added fuel to the already heated argument with a grin.

The argument escalated.

far away.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Gan Yu arrived quickly.

Yae no Miko and Gan Yu then led the General, Naganohara Yomi-no-miya, and Kamisato Ayaka and others through the VIP passage.

Before disembarking, Yae no Miko instructed all the Inatsumi who came to Liyue to avoid causing a disturbance and to refrain from revealing the General's identity.

Even so, they received personal contact from Gan Yu, Tian Quan, and Tian Heng.

These past few days, they have been staying at Qunyu Pavilion, enjoying the highest level of hospitality.

We arrived at the VIP seats.

How was your time at Fang Qiu's house last night?

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Yae no Miko secretly leaned close to Kage's ear and asked with a smile.

"It's alright, we talked a lot."

Ying responded calmly.

"Did we just talk a lot? I thought that after not seeing her for so long, you would strip her naked and push her down. She would look so pitiful if you pushed her down on the bed."

Yae no Miko smirked and said, "How about we take advantage of this Lantern Festival and tie her up and take her back to Inazuma?"

“Absurd, divine child, do not speak recklessly.”

Ying frowned.

"Oh, just kidding, don't be so fierce."

Yae no Miko smiled, turned to look at Gan Yu who was reminding the sleepy Zao You not to fall asleep, and said, "Gan Yu-neechan, what shall we eat for lunch later?"

"These past few days, Lady Ningguang has prepared a state banquet of the highest standard for everyone. After it is over, please follow me to the Qunyu Pavilion."

Gan Yu smiled and said.

At the same time, she turned her gaze to the Thor, only to find that the Thor was looking at the promotional sign for Fang Qiu's new book not far away.

The standee features Kiana in her new form.

This surprised Gan Yu greatly.

The arrival of General Inazuma in Liyue not only caused a stir among the entire Liyue leadership, but also drew all the immortals to Liyue Harbor in case the visitor was hostile.

Unexpectedly, this general not only did nothing, but also personally attended Liyue Publishing's annual event.

Moreover, it seems that they are very interested in Ms. Fang Qiu's book.

As expected of Miss Fang Qiu, she can even attract this general.

Meanwhile, the others from Inazuma had already taken their seats.

"I'm really looking forward to Xiao Qiu's appearance. It's been so long since I've seen her, I've been missing her. It's a pity that I went to that pavilion as soon as I got off the ship last night and didn't see Xiao Qiu."

Naganohara Yomihime blinked, her face full of anticipation.

"It's Qunyu Pavilion. After the event, let's go find Miss Fang Qiu later."

Ayaka Kamisato originally intended to address Fang Qiu as Naganohara Yomi, but changed her mind halfway through.

Meanwhile, Hayato, who was forced to work nearby, had already fallen asleep leaning on Ayaka Kamisato's shoulder.

Coral Palace Heart Sea was chatting with Goro.

Meanwhile, Araki Ichito and Shinobu also arrived at the event. Araki Ichito's noisy behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of many people around.

However, seeing that Araki Ichidou was tall and strong, he didn't say much.

Having the privilege of having Yae no Kamiko lose to Arataki Ichito, he and Shinobu entered the employee passage.

Not far away.

"Sister Amber, Sister Yura, and Brother Abedo, look! It's so lively!"

A girl in bright red weaved through the crowd, exclaiming in amazement.

A red-clad girl and a blue-clad girl, along with Abedo, Diona (who was a little shy and followed closely behind them), Fischl, Bennett Mona, and others, followed Klee, enjoying the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.

With Aberdo's privileges, Mond and his party could also use the employee entrance.

This immediately drew envious glances from many people present.

Inside a nearby teahouse, four figures sat at a tea table, drinking tea and watching the spectacle below.

Looking forward to it.

It was none other than the three True Lords of Liuyun and Jiefeng, along with the Great Sage Xiao who subdued demons.

Chapter 691 The tomatoes in my hand are itching for a bite

"I never expected that the high and mighty Inazuma God would actually come to participate in our Liyue Publishing House's event. It's truly unexpected."

With a sigh, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "Speaking of which, Liuyun, you said before that when Fang Qiu returned from Daoqie, the jade pendant on his body had gained a terrifying power of lightning. In fact, when facing Ba Che, that power of lightning almost killed Ba Che with a single strike. It is very likely that it is the power residing in the Daoqie Thunder God. Is it possible that this Thunder God came because of Fang Qiu?"

You'll find out soon enough.

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun shook his head and said, "But it seems that the other party has no ill intentions. Even though they just discovered us, they did not react in any way."

"No matter what, we cannot let our guard down."

"Xiao said in a deep voice."

After all, the opponent's power was too great.

Even though the Emperor is still in Liyue Harbor, we cannot let our guard down.
