Man is the original god, the lawer of reason

If there is any difference, this time the one who invited Xiandian to stand next to Keqing was not someone else, but Chen Luo.

To Ke Qing's question, Emperor Yan Wang only responded with a meaningful smile.

"Dijun smiled, did it agree with Lord Yuhengxing's statement?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's a disdainful smile."

"No, no, let me tell you, maybe it's the emperor who thinks Master Yuhengxing is right. This is a gratifying smile."

Afterwards, its gaze fell on Keqing, and it spoke through voice transmission that only Chen Luo and Keqing could hear.

"Government in the world has changed from generation to generation, seven out of five, although this body is ancient, it is not [eternal].

"Yu Hengxing, your question is not unreasonable, but it is not easy for human beings to escape the sight of gods."

Afterwards, Dijun Yan's eyes fell on Chen Luo who was beside her.

"...?"

Father, what are you looking at me for?

The next moment, Zhongli's voice rang alone in Chen Luo's mind.

"I will trouble you with Ruo Tuo's affairs. I hope to have a chat with Your Excellency at Qingyunding tomorrow morning."

When the oracle was lowered, it was regarded as a response to Ke Qing's question, and the Emperor Yanwang didn't stay any longer. With a low growl, he flew straight into the sky from a hovering posture, and disappeared into the clouds.

However, perhaps in order to cooperate with the celebration plan after Keqing, the rays of light and auspicious clouds did not dissipate, decorating the already prosperous Liyue Port even more movingly.

"...Then, I announce that this year's Seven Stars Invitation Ceremony ends here, and the oracle's message will be announced by Seven Stars and Eight Sects within today."

Ke Qing coughed twice and announced to everyone.

"In order to reward the emperor for his hard work, and also to thank everyone in Liyue Port for their daily hard work, after today's fairy ceremony is over, there will be a celebration funded and sponsored by myself. Please enjoy it to your heart's content."

Chapter 30 Day Street Parade

"I didn't expect that, Keqing, you would take the initiative to propose to hold a celebration after Qixing invites immortals."

Walking on the streets of Liyue, feeling the cheerful atmosphere around, Chen Luo curiously asked the purple-haired girl beside her.

In order to avoid being too conspicuous——Ke Qing didn't wear the luxurious clothes that usually showed her status as a seven star, but changed into a simple one.

"In your heart, am I a workaholic who only knows about work?"

"Well... that's not what I meant."

"I naturally understand the principle of combining work and rest. I will also rest in my own way when I am free. As long as I don't relax too much, it will be fine."

"Specifically, is it referring to...?"

"Of course it's shopping."

Just like most girls, shopping and consumption are also Keqing's hobby.

As a nobleman, she can naturally afford this luxury.

"Speaking of which, Keqing, you are very generous this time. For such a large-scale celebration, expenses must be indispensable."

Chen Luo looked around, and this celebration could be seen everywhere from Feiyunpo to Chihuyan. Compared with Liyue's traditional festivals, the Sea Lantern Festival and the Moon Festival, it was not much smaller in scale.

"Ha, actually..."

Keqing smiled mysteriously.

"When you went out before, I took Yan Fei to Beiguo Bank to trouble the fools."

"Ok?"

"More than half of the funds spent on this celebration came from them. Although I can't do anything about their executive officer personally, there is still a way to make them bleed."

Presumably the fines that Keqing imposed on the fools were astronomical, but the fools who were still plotting against God's Heart in Liyue just smashed their teeth and swallowed it, swallowing their anger and accepting it.

"You won't violate the 'contract' if you do this?"

Everything in Liyue is based on contracts and systems. Even the foolish Beiguo Bank can only survive by signing a contract with Liyue Seven Stars.

"Otherwise, why do you think I would bring Yan Fei over there?"

Ke Qing gave Chen Luo a white look.

"When they established Beiguo Bank here, they took advantage of many loopholes in the law and made some power and money transactions with Qixing at that time. As long as I let Yan Fei put these facts in front of their eyes, they can only Admit it. If you are not convinced, go to Qunyu Pavilion on that day to find Ningguang and tell me."

"Ha, the referees and judges are all yours, so of course they can't fight you."

When Ke Qing and Chen Luo were chatting and taking a walk, a woman suddenly stood in front of them.

"Master Yuhengxing."

she said respectfully.

"Hello, you are... ah, I remembered, you are the woman who was kidnapped by the treasure group in the cave."

Ke Qing was slightly taken aback, but soon recognized who was blocking her.

The woman nodded and bowed to Keqing again.

"Master Yuhengxing, thank you very much last time. Without you, I'm afraid I would have..."

"It's nothing, it's just something to do. But next time you still have to pay attention to safety, don't go to the wilderness alone."

"Well, this bouquet of flowers is for you. I hope you and the gentleman next to you will have a pleasant day."

Ke Qing nodded, took the bouquet of flowers, and handed them to Chen Luo beside her.

"If I hadn't appeared at that time, you would have saved her, right?"

"That's natural."

Chen Luo was very warm-hearted, if someone died in front of him, he would definitely not ignore it.

……

"So many styles, so many textures, so many choices, this is 'consumption', it's an irresistible charm, don't you think so, Chen Luo?"

"...if you don't let me carry all the big and small bags."

"Look, there's a stall over there, let's go and have a look."

The shops on the street are one after another, selling all kinds of things.

In the direction Keqing pointed, it seemed that someone was playing with strange props.

Of course, strangeness is for Liyue people.

Hmm... In the parlance of this world, that prop is called a [photo camera].

"Hey, Ji Tong, I haven't seen you for a while, what interesting things did you find from abroad this time?"

Keqing greeted the vendors who were displaying goods.

Unlike Ningguang who sits in the sky and takes charge of the overall situation, Keqing takes a hands-on route, and she is familiar with most of the citizens who often go out and about in the streets and alleys.

The man was still busy preparing something, but when he heard Ke Qing's call, he immediately raised his head and replied with a smile on his face.

"Isn't this Master Yuhengxing? Hey, I went to Fontaine and Monde this time, but I brought back a lot of good things. Take a look."

In Liyue, as long as the law and the contract are not violated, there are thousands of ways to make money, and this Ji Tong is specialized in the business of importing goods.

Ji Tong introduced his new stuff to the two of them.

"I bought this machine from Fontaine. Just press a button to record the pictures it takes, and create paintings called 'photographs'. It's a novelty."

Ji Tong introduced the camera to the two of them.

"The latter ones were bought at a low price from a man named Li Ben on the way back. He said they were toy puppets dumped from Mond. I don't know if there is a market for them in Liyue..."

He pointed to the pile of dolls behind him.

"This one is called Earl Tutu."

He pointed to one of the red and white dolls that resembled a rabbit.

"This fluffy and long-tailed one is called Duduke. I heard that it was strongly recommended by a knight of the Mond Knights."

He picked up another round puppet.

"There's also this one, called Mond Batterman, which seems to be based on the urban legend of Mond."

It was a muscular doll with a mask on his face, only his mouth was exposed. Although his face couldn't be seen, he must be an adult who couldn't laugh.

"Although they are all pretty good, they are not as cute as Dijun dolls..."

Chen Luo lowered his head and admired these dolls.

"Isn't it, I think so too, but I think there is still a market for these dolls among children! With my photo camera that can retain pictures, there may not be no business opportunities."

Speaking of this, Ji Tong rubbed his hands and said to Ke Qing.

"Master Keqing, why don't you try to sit in the pile of dolls and take a picture? You won't be charged for the promotion of the event."

"Huh? Me?"

Keqing was a little surprised.

"I'd better forget it, I'm on dolls..."

Ke Qing glanced at the pile of dolls, although they were indeed a bit cute, but as the Seven Stars of Liyue, she might not behave like a little girl in public.

"How do I remember that you put a lot of dragon-shaped emperor dolls in your room?"

"you……!"

"Participate in the event now, and I will also give away a Nendoroid with the emperor's two heads for free!"

Ji Tong fiddled a few more times under the table, and took out some two-headed clay puppets with dragon heads and human bodies.

"I……"

Can't... in public...

Keqing was shaken.

"Go if you want, it's a rare opportunity."

Behind Ke Qing, Chen Luo gently pushed her.

"……Hey!"

……

"Although it's nice to have cute dolls..."

As the sun was setting, Chen Luo and Ke Qing had already left Ji Tong's photo booth.

The difference from just now is that Chen Luo has a big Duduke doll in his hands—and a clay figurine of Emperor Jun with two heads.

"...But it always feels like you've been holding back your laughter from just now!"

Ke Qing blushed, and stared at Chen Luo fiercely.

"I just didn't expect that Master Yuhengxing likes dolls so much."

After being pushed into the pile of dolls by Chen Luo, Ke Qing seemed to be attracted by the dolls, sitting inside and reluctant to come out.

"Girls like cute things, it's normal! I'm not looking at that old character who only likes Mora."

Ke Qing snorted lightly.

After the filming ended, Ji Tong expressed that in addition to the Dijun Nendoroid as a gift, Keqing could also let Keqing take a doll as a reward for filming the "commercial".

Therefore, Keqing chose the large-sized Duduke.

The two wandered all the way and came to the edge of the port.

"As night fell and the lights came on, it was another peaceful day."

Before I knew it, the sunset had already set.

Keqing and Chenluo leaned against the port, looking at the endless sea.

"In order to build my ideal Liyue, I need help. You may be my ideal person—although I think so, but you... won't stay in Liyue forever, right?"

"...Well, you already know?"

"Hmph, don't underestimate Qixing's ability. I already knew about the fact that you went to the port to inquire about the Southern Cross fleet last night. Are you going to... go to Dao Wife?"
