He changed Tiwat

Swan is a regular at the theater and is Kumari's pet. He's familiar with everyone and often walks backstage when he's on his own.

“Hey, come here!” Nilu waved to Siwang.

Swang happily wagged its tail and jumped onto Nilu's lap, while Nilu skillfully stroked its ears—Swang loved having its ears scratched.

Meanwhile, Swang started licking Nel's cheeks with "swang swang".

The ticklish sensation on her cheek made Nilu laugh: "Oh, hehe. Have you gained weight again? Oh dear, I can hardly pick you up anymore."

It was another day filled with joy and harmony.

Just like every day before.

I'm happy every day I'm with everyone.

These happy days will continue forever, right?

"Have two more drinks with me..."

Miss Neja, who was drunk and staggering, grabbed Anaye.

Anaye's face was flushed, clearly indicating that she was already quite drunk.

"Your actions still have significant problems."

Mr. Zuber seemed to have drunk a bit too much, and he gave Kulosh a good scolding.

Kurosh almost buried his head under the table. "I...I understand..."

Ricard, the eldest sister, put on her big sisterly airs and protected Kuros: "Alright, alright! Zuber, you should say less."

"Finally... finished..." Ghassani, who had been working on the script all afternoon, was already talking in his sleep.

As a guest screenwriter, Ghassani didn't originally have that much work—but Mr. Jiang Xue is very good at discovering other people's talents... or rather, very good at creating work for others. Ghassani hand-copied at least a dozen scripts today, along with various revisions and polishing, and was already exhausted.

Nilu smiled at everyone, then slowly got up and left her seat.

No one noticed that the theater's big star walked alone to the already closed stage.

The Zubair Theatre is like another home to her. It is because of everyone's hard work that we have this irreplaceable stage.

Therefore, she always felt—

The meaning is still unfinished.

Chapter 75 It's a pleasure to meet you, Little Lucky Grass King [4k]

Han Fulai stood in the familiar courtyard once again.

He quickly recalled the memory of the last "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival"—a "beep" sound rang in his mind, like a signal from some kind of machine, and then he suddenly fell into darkness.

In the blink of an eye, he was back in the Huma's house.

This is the third time.

The third "Flora Festival".

The Grand Bazaar is shrouded in darkness; the only light source is the ever-burning streetlights. In the distance, one can faintly hear the clamor of voices, likely from early risers and vendors preparing for today's festival.

Han Fulai turned and went into the house, first checking the time.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

He remembered that at the end of the last "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," when he was preparing to lead Dixia and those mercenary prisoners out for a "public trial of the Great Sage," it was eight o'clock in the evening.

From this perspective, the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival" operates on a twelve-hour cycle, starting at 8:00 AM and ending at 8:00 PM.

"It's like clocking in and out for get off work..." Han Fulai muttered to himself.

It's a good thing that the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival" has such a regular cycle, as Han Fulai can easily create a timeline of events for the festival in his mind.

First, Dina Zede visits, then they go shopping together, then there's the "lockdown," and after the "lockdown," there's a kidnapping targeting Dina Zede. Finally, the Great Sage Azar comes to the Zubair Theater to stop the "Flora Festival," ending one cycle.

Based on his experience from the previous two cycles, these are the common events in the two "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festivals," and also the important events that will inevitably happen on the day of the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival"—these events can also be regarded as the "main storyline" of the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival."

Other minor events, such as receiving the prophecy of the "moon" in "alchemy divination" or choosing a certain number of Yalda candy from the "Flower Knight," are considered "side quests," and changing the outcome will not affect the "main quest."

In the last, second "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," he attempted to "change the plot"—he had Ying and Dixia arrest the kidnappers ahead of time, and he also deliberately altered the performance of "The Legend of the Flower Knight," and intentionally conducted a certain "experiment" through that performance...

But none of this changed the "outcome" or broke the cycle.

However, these changes were not in vain. Han Fulai obtained a lot of useful information through the attempts in the previous cycle, and at the same time, he also found several potential breakthroughs.

What he needs to do now is to come up with a plan that can end the cycle of the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival".

If all goes well, this third "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival" should be the last one.

Just then, the bedroom door opened, and Paimon flew out yawning.

"Ugh—I feel so tired, even though I slept quite a lot… Never mind. Ying, wake up, Dina Zede will be here soon…"

"Oh..." came a listless response from Ying in the room, along with a rustling sound, which seemed to be Ying changing clothes.

Han Fulai looked at Paimon thoughtfully.

They had originally arranged to meet Dina Zede at the entrance of the Zubair Theater, but Dina Zede was so excited about today's festival that she arrived earlier than agreed and came directly to find them.

Logically, Paimon shouldn't have known that Dina Zede would be coming. Does this mean that Paimon also retains memories from the previous loop?

However, after Ying changed her clothes and came out of the bedroom, there was still no knocking on the courtyard gate.

Han Fulai took the initiative to open the door.

The area outside the door was empty; there was no one there.

Dina Zede didn't come this time?

Near the Zubair Theater, the three met Dina Zede, who was sitting on a bench.

This is the place they agreed to meet.

Han Fulai noticed that Dina Zedai's outfit was different from the previous two times.

She didn't change into new clothes this time, nor did she wear the flower wreath woven by Patishalan.

Paimon flew up and greeted Dina Zede: "Good morning, Dina Zede, have you been waiting for us long?"

"No... I just arrived too early." Dina Zedee responded politely to Paimon, but her smile was somewhat forced, and she looked very tired.

"Huh? You seem a bit listless. Did you not sleep well?" Paimon looked at Dina Zede with some concern.

Dina Zede shook her head. "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Are you really alright? If you're not feeling well, should we find a place to rest?" Ying asked with concern.

But Dina Zede firmly rejected Ying and Paimon's concern.

"Don't worry about it. The festival is about to start, let's go browse the nearby stalls first."

As she spoke, she got up from the bench and walked off toward the street on her own.

Han Fulai frowned slightly.

Dina Zede reminded him of himself before he time-traveled—he was reluctant to get out of bed, but he had to get up early to catch the bus to work, since being late would result in a deduction from his salary.

She said, "The festival is about to begin," as if she were saying, "I'm going to be late for work." Han Fulai couldn't see any anticipation for the festival in Dina Zede's expression and actions, only a strong sense of weariness.

Ying and Paimon also noticed Dina Zede's unusual behavior. They exchanged a worried glance and followed Dina Zede.

Han Fulai deliberately lagged behind by a few steps.

He raised his voice slightly: "Miss Dixia, I know you're here. Come out and meet me."

Desia emerged from her hiding place with some surprise: "You can sense me?"

Han Fulai didn't actually bother to sense Dixia's location; he simply knew she was nearby. Of course, there was no need to explain this to Dixia.

He asked Dixia very seriously, "Dinazede's physical condition is unusual today. Do you know why?"

Dixia sighed, "It's because she's too excited... She didn't sleep a wink last night and came here early this morning to wait, and she wouldn't listen to any of my attempts to persuade her..."

The drowsiness after staying up all night... On the surface, Dina Zede's performance does seem to be like that, and it also matches Dina Zede's words in the previous two "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festivals", but Han Fulai knows that the truth is not so.

The weariness that Dina Zede just showed was definitely not caused by staying up all night.

Besides, if she was so excited that she didn't sleep all night, she should at least have made some preparations for the festival, such as changing into a pretty dress and wearing some new headdresses, just like the previous two times... She would never have come here unprepared like today.

For Dina Zede, the "Flora Festival" is a very special day.

This is her first time participating in the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," and it may very well be her last.

In preparation for this "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival," Dina Zede not only took out her jewelry and valuables, but also secretly ran away from home... If she hadn't met Han Fulai, she would have almost lost her life outside.

In other words, Dina Zede was willing to risk her life to participate in the "Flower Goddess's Birthday Festival".

How could she possibly feel "weary" of the "Flora Festival"?

Han Fulai pondered for a moment and said to Dixia, "Dina Zede is not in a good condition today. I will give you a signal in a while. You can be a little firm if you want. In short, take Dina Zede away from the Grand Bazaar and find a place to rest."

"But Miss, she..."

Dixia hesitated.

She knew better than anyone how much Dina Zede was looking forward to this festival. It was only after Dishia accompanied Dina Zede and pleaded with Lord Huma for a long time that they finally got permission to come out and participate in the festival today.

If Dina Zede would leave after a few words of persuasion, then she wouldn't have come in the first place today...

Han Fulai insisted, "Listen to me, I am her 'attending physician' now, and she must follow the 'doctor's orders'."

The symptoms of "Demon Scale Disease" on Dina Zede's body were suppressed by Han Fulai using magic. Without the "protective charm" he gave her, Dina Zede's physical condition would not have lasted until today. His "medical advice" may be more authoritative than that of Nafis, the sage of the "Life Theory" faction in the Order of the Church.

"Furthermore, I heard that a group of gilded guild members have infiltrated the Grand Bazaar, and they might pose a threat to your young lady. For safety reasons, I think it's best to let her leave temporarily. If she wants to see the show, she can come back in the evening."

"How do you know about the Gilded Brigade...?" Desia was shocked. She had never heard of this news in the mercenary circle. Where did Han Jiangxue, a Liyue native, get it from?

Moreover, for some reason, upon hearing that someone was going to harm Dinazede, four words inexplicably popped into Dishia's mind—"Could it be, 'The Legacy of the God-King'?"

Han Fulai raised an eyebrow: "You have memories?"

"What memories...?" Dixia asked blankly.

Han Fulai glanced at Dixia again, and seeing that Dixia's expression did not seem fake, he stopped talking about the topic and simply said, "Just do as I say."

After much consideration, Dixia finally nodded.

Forget it, at worst I'll just carry Miss Dina Zede away horizontally. It's not like this is the first time Dixia has done it.

Dina Zede seemed to be in a low mood today, and both Ying and Paimon felt the same way.

Rather than saying they accompanied Dinazede to the festival, it would be more accurate to say that Dinazede accompanied them to the festival.

With so many festival stalls on the street, Dina Zede only glanced at them briefly, seemingly uninterested in delving into anything, making Ying and Paimon feel embarrassed to linger at the stalls any longer.

Despite this, Dina Zede showed no sign of stopping, as if her goal was to walk from one end of the street to the other, and she couldn't clock out until she had completed the prescribed route...

Seeing this, Han Fulai secretly signaled to Dixia with hand gestures.

Then, the bodyguard who suddenly appeared ignored Dina Zede's screams, skillfully grabbed her shoulder with one arm and her leg with the other, and carried her away horizontally. The scene looked like a "forced abduction of a woman," leaving Ying and Paimon completely stunned...

After the person was taken away, the two of them realized what had happened and wanted to chase after her to find out what was going on, but Han Fu stopped them: "I instructed Dixia to take her away, don't worry about it, let's continue to stroll around the festival."

"Hey, you should explain yourself!" Paimon puffed out his cheeks, clearly dissatisfied.

This guy is still the same as always, he never consults with anyone before doing anything, keeping them completely in the dark. It's infuriating!

Ying seemed to have thought of something: "You must have a reason for continuing to visit the festival, right?"

Han Fulai nodded and pointed ahead: "We're going to do an 'alchemical divination'. You'll find out if you follow me."

"Gentlemen, would you like to try 'alchemy divination'?" Zimia, who was guarding the alchemy table, said the familiar line.

Han Fulai listened patiently to Zimia's introduction to "alchemy and divination," and then he, Ying, and Paimon each took out a piece of fruit and placed it on the alchemy table.

After the smoke cleared, the "bitten pancake" reappeared on the alchemy table.

“...Judging from the dust, it should be the ‘moon’,” Zimia interpreted.

This time, Han Fulai didn't interrupt Zimia's lines, but instead asked cooperatively, "What does the 'moon' symbolize?"

"Hmm... 'The moon' symbolizes... um... I've forgotten, just a moment..."

Zimia stammered for a long time, but finally squatted down.

"He's secretly flipping through the book! This divination is completely unreliable!" Paimon complained irritably.

Somewhat embarrassed, Zimia hid the "reference book" behind his back, stood up and said, "'The moon' means 'illusion' and 'lie'."

"But as long as you trust your intuition and overcome your fears, the sun will surely rise."
