Chapter 111 - Chapter 112 Zhongli Arrives at Northland Bank

"How dare you! I am Cloud Retainer!" Cloud Retainer shouted.

The people of Liyue nodded, that's right, this is right! This is how an adeptus should react! How could they all be as gentle as Ganyu?

But Ying didn't care about Cloud Retainer's scolding and continued to speak disrespectfully to the adeptus.

Cloud Retainer scolded again, and just when everyone thought Cloud Retainer was really going to get angry, the style changed, and Cloud Retainer actually patiently explained.

Not only was she not angry, but she also chatted with them while flying them in the sky.

They chatted and laughed, without a trace of anger.

Are adepti all so easy to get along with, after all?

The people of Liyue actually rarely come into contact with adepti. In their hearts, adepti are high and mighty and not to be profaned.

In the previous plot, when the adepti learned that the Geo Archon had been harmed, they also expressed their anger and wanted to suppress the entire Liyue Harbor.

Therefore, the people of Liyue always felt that adepti were not easy to get along with. They revered them, but also kept their distance.

Now they knew that this adeptus was just impatient, but her temper was actually quite good.

A wealthy Liyue merchant held the automatic rice cooker in his hand, lost in thought. It was then that he realized he had encountered an adeptus...

Thinking back to his conversation with the other party, there was indeed no feeling of superiority.

It seems that ordinary people can also get along well with adepti?

Other Liyue people had the same thought. Perhaps the distance between themselves and the adepti did not need to be kept at arm's length.

At this moment, Ganyu, who was still processing documents, did not know that Lin Qiu's book had subtly changed her situation in Liyue Harbor.

Although everyone lamented the difference between adepti and their imagination, they did not stop reading.

They were still more focused on the next key point, fighting Osial.

Through the following content, the people of Liyue thoroughly understood the situation at that time.

After they were evacuated for emergency shelter, they didn't know what had happened, only that the weather had changed, and after a period of time, the sky cleared.

Now they knew that so many people were fighting on the front lines against the God.

Their struggle prevented the GodOsial from advancing, protecting Liyue behind them.

The Qixing, adepti, Shenhe, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Millelith, Traveler, ronin, and ordinary people on Beidou's fleet, 'Liyue people' of various identities, worked together to fight against this 'disaster'.

Just as they were in a stalemate with Osial, Ningguang had the idea of crashing the Jade Chamber.

The book described Ningguang's psychological activity and also explained the significance of the Jade Chamber to her.

In the end, Liyue was still more important to her. Even if it wasn't for others, just for her own love and responsibility for Liyue, Ningguang was willing to give up the Jade Chamber.

Reading this passage, the people of Liyue recognized this 'Tianquan Star' even more.

Although the Jade Chamber was not actually crashed later, because Lin Qiu used other solutions, this did not affect the people of Liyue's recognition of Ningguang.

Before this, Ningguang didn't know that Lin Qiu had other solutions, so her determination to sacrifice the Jade Chamber was genuine.

"The Tianquan of Liyue... is truly willing to sacrifice," Pantalone said with a smile.

Osial was sealed, and the victorious crowd held a celebration feast.

At the celebration feast, Lin Qiu also devoted some ink to Venti and Zhongli.

This made the readers feel helpless; this Anemo Archon was truly free...

"The wine of Liyue... how does it taste?" Rosaria was more curious about the taste of the wine.

"It's quite good, but in terms of potency, Snezhnaya's firewater is stronger," said Venti, the multi-national wine tasting expert, expressing his opinion.

"Lord Venti... sigh, let's communicate with the Liyue side about this wine money, and our Knights of Favonius will pay for it," Jean said, rubbing her forehead.

She rarely got a break, but she didn't expect to see her own God running off to another country for freebies. What else could she do but pay the bill?

This money wasn't much, Liyue probably wouldn't even care, or even didn't want it.

However, the other party might not want it, but they couldn't not give it.

"I think I've already paid the Reward, and Liyue should be satisfied. Keep reading," Venti said with a smile.

The few people obediently continued reading. Yun Jin took the stage, and Goddess Splitting the Clouds began. Lin Qiu also specially drew an illustration for Yun Jin.

It was a pity that books could not transmit sound. The people of Liyue were very familiar with this story, and just by looking at the lyrics, they could imagine the sound.

However, people from other countries obviously couldn't, but this also had an advantage, which was that everyone focused more on the lyrics.

Lin Qiu also highlighted the meaning of these lyrics in the book.

"'Alas—'

'Autumn wild geese break their bond, never to be paired again,'

'A foolish heart, consumed by resentment and madness.'"

A single 'alas' set the tone of the story. This was a lamentable story.

It often evokes sadness in spring and melancholy in autumn, and wild geese also carry the sense of distance and separation of delivering letters.

The line "Autumn wild geese break their bond, never to be paired again" fully expresses the sorrow of separation, describing the parting of a couple.

The next line is about a person with a foolish heart who cannot accept the death of their beloved, and is eventually seduced by a demon, falling into madness.

Later, it tells that a demon demanded the worship of boys and girls. The little Goddess stepped forward, drew her sword decisively, and saved everyone.

Then the little Goddess's mortal ties were temporarily severed, and she had no more attachments in the mortal world, entering the immortal gate.

"Crimson silk binds the withered woodcutter's axe" means that red ropes bind the Goddess. When the Goddess returns to the mortal world, she finds that everything has changed.

"Snowy mud, distant wild goose tracks" refers to wild geese stepping on snowy mud, leaving claw marks. This wild goose is Shenhe, and the claw marks are her traces in the mortal world, seemingly present and absent.

"'The crane returns, but the ancient stone pillar is gone,'

'Spider webs vainly entangle the fluttering soul banner.'"

Returning to a mortal world where everything has changed, the dilapidated village and soul banners announce the passing of loved ones.

Therefore, "'Karma, the mortal world, vast and distant, vanishes like smoke.'"

Many people didn't know how the opera 'Goddess Splitting the Clouds' was sung, but just these few short lines allowed them to understand the story.

So this is the story of that Shenhe? What about her own words that were different?

Shenhe's presence in this third act was not extensive, so many readers wanted to understand more about the girl in this story.

Then the people of Liyue discovered that 'Goddess Splitting the Clouds,' which was originally supposed to end here, did not end this time.

"'Goddess Splitting the Clouds' should be nearing its end here, but today, I will add another stroke."

"'I sing—for all of you—to hear—'"

The tone of the story changed from this point, and the original feeling of sadness and separation disappeared.

The lyrics that followed were easy for everyone to understand; wasn't this the story that happened in the third act?

Shenhe met friends, faced the 'raging waves' together, and cleansed the sea.

Finally, it was as Yun Jin said.

"'At that time, the crane returned, without reliance in the vast world, departing alone.'"

"'Today we meet again, new and old friends fill the hall, gathered at this moment.'"

People lamented the story, but before they could savor it, even more explosive information appeared in the book.

Zhongli arrived at the Northland Bank.
