Even so, seeing the fireworks bloom, they couldn't help but look back a couple of times. Even Kaedehara Kazuha beside him quietly looked up.
On the aloof Jade Chamber, Acting Grand Master Jean walked step by step. She hadn't expected Ningguang to invite her to the Jade Chamber for a visit. Even Kamisato Ayato of the Kamisato Clan was standing there, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand.
"How does it feel? Watching fireworks from here is the most beautiful and marvelous."
Ningguang gradually looked into the distance, occasionally taking a puff from the pipe in her hand.
"Indeed, the scenery here is the best in all of Liyue, but it must be very difficult for ordinary people to come up."
Kamisato Ayato smiled faintly, with a trace of milk tea still lingering at the corner of his mouth.
"You're right. Let's quietly enjoy this fireworks show."
Acting Grand Master Jean said nothing and offered no opinion. After all, Mondstadt and Liyue still needed to have some commercial interactions and cooperation. As allies, she naturally wouldn't denigrate anything.
At the dining table, the five people quietly enjoyed the fireworks show. Although it was something created by mortals, it was truly beautiful. Fireworks... one could only see them during festivals, couldn't they?
"This is excellent..."
Meanwhile, in the Honkai Impact 3rd experience store, a "Closed for Rest" sign was hung at the entrance, indicating it was not open for business. The not-so-large hall was filled with three tables, laden with dishes that looked incredibly delicious.
Everyone gathered around the tables, eating and chatting merrily. Even when they saw fireworks rising in the distance.
"I bought fireworks too, do you want to play?"
Lu Ze chuckled and brought out his secret weapons from his room, box after box of fireworks. If one didn't set off fireworks during a festival, it was as good as not having celebrated it at all.
Rosaria and Liliya, two of them, were the first to rush forward with two incense sticks and quickly ran over. As the incense sticks ignited the fuses, with a boom, fireworks rose one after another.
Looking at their masterpiece, the two exchanged smiles. The fireworks they set off were indeed beautiful.
"Hurry up if you want to set them off, they'll be prohibited soon."
Those who were itching to try rushed forward, one faster than the other. Then, countless fireworks bloomed in the sky, a scene of exquisite beauty.
As for the Sky Lanterns, Lu Ze had prepared them long ago, but had never brought them up.
Fortunately, they were all pre-assembled ones that could be launched just by lighting them.
Before long, everyone was holding a Sky Lantern, and as their wishes were released, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
Time flies when you're having fun. The meal, which was supposed to last a long time, ended quickly. This was ač¦ task for the catering staff, as cleaning up the dishes took a long time.
Lu Ze stood on the balcony, looking at the vast sea in the distance and the Sky Lanterns filling the sky. Perhaps this was what a spectacular scene looked like.
However, the Sky Lanterns filling the sky would probably be troublesome to clean up later. After the flames extinguished, they would fall and become plastic waste.
But this year's Sky Lanterns were specially made. They could be decomposed in just one or two days because they were made of harmless substances, which could be considered a technological breakthrough.
"Isn't it beautiful? What do you think?"
Venti appeared beside him at some unknown time and silently hugged Lu Ze.
"It's indeed beautiful, but having you all is the most beautiful thing in the world. By the way, do you want a traditional Chinese wedding or a Western-style wedding?"
Upon hearing this, Venti's eyes brightened. Marriage was something she naturally cared about, but she found it difficult to choose between Chinese and Western styles.
One could only say that each had its own advantages.
"Can I have both? It's so hard to choose. Should I ask for everyone's opinion?"
Although Venti wanted to choose one, she didn't want to give up the other. There was no perfect thing in the world, and she knew she couldn't get married twice. She was just joking earlier.
"Yes, indeed... it's better to ask everyone about this. However, I personally lean towards the Chinese style, but it feels a bit troublesome. The Western style is also good, I'm fine with either."
Lu Ze continued to look into the distance, and images of everyone in traditional Chinese wedding attire and Western wedding dresses involuntarily flashed through his mind. He felt that both were quite beautiful... wasn't this just indecisiveness?
But suddenly, he noticed a figure by the side.
That's right, the countless Sky Lanterns cast a faint glow on the sea. And on a stretch of the sea, there seemed to be a long figure. The shadow looked like a snake.
Morax, who had been drinking wine,'s eyes widened slightly. He sensed a familiar aura. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the God of Blood Azaka, who had appeared some time ago.
But why did he appear at such a crucial juncture? Was he deliberately trying to ruin the fun? Was it true?
He shouldn't be that foolish. After all, the God of Blood was subdued by him with a single move back then and had been suppressed for so many years. Could it be that he hadn't learned any lessons and wanted revenge as soon as he came out? Why didn't he just run away and develop himself?
"You can feel it too, Morax... there's the aura of a god on the sea, but more than that... there's also a very murky, very transparent one, like a consciousness, but it seems a bit powerful."
Beelzebul put down his bowl, glanced into the distance, and said slowly.
"Heh, causing trouble like this during our gathering? I think this god doesn't just want to be suppressed and sealed again; this time, he probably wants to die."
Venti said indifferently. His good mood from drinking was instantly ruined, and even he, who had a good temper, felt an urge to fight.
"Everyone, this is my territory, and I'll take responsibility for any trouble that arises. You don't need to take action, I'll handle it."
Meanwhile, Ningguang, on the Jade Chamber, had a clear view of the long figure in the distance due to her vantage point. Although it stood still, she still saw it.
"What is this thing? Why is it here? Could it be an old enemy of the Anemo Archon? Taking advantage of my Lantern Rite to disrupt my Liyue's order?"
Ningguang's mind was filled with countless questions, but she quickly issued orders. If it was indeed a god, it would be best to evacuate the civilians.
To minimize casualties, because they were all the future of Liyue.
"Don't you all find this aura strange? It smells terrible, like decay... A foul smell from the sea..."
Kamisato Ayato held his nose, unable to bear it. They were thousands of miles apart, so why was the smell reaching them?
