Chapter 137 The Emperor’s Spirit in Heaven…
Chapter 137 The Emperor’s Spirit in Heaven…
After the underground journey, Jiang Xun and Zhongli brought Kunjun back to Liyue Harbor.
After he came back, he felt a little dazed and his memory was a little fuzzy. He had no recollection of anything that happened underground, which saved them the effort of erasing each other's memories.
Fortunately, no problems occurred.
However, it is worth mentioning that after being possessed by Shannian Ruota, Kunjun not only did not experience any other problems afterwards, but he felt that he had become much stronger and his mind was clearer than usual. For a moment, he even thought that he must have been noticed by a certain god, and he had been receiving the Eye of God in those few days.
However, the two people who knew about it did not express any opinions. They thought that this should be a gift from Shannian Ruotu to the other party, as a compensation for occupying the other party's body for some time.
Jiang Xun naturally received compensation from Lao Dai afterwards.
After taking the heavy Mora in his hand, he could feel that the other party had no ill intentions towards the reward just by weighing it. Although Jiang Xun did not care about the amount of the reward, since the other party was willing to give so much, he certainly had no reason to refuse.
With this Mora, Jiang Xun took Du Lin out for a delicious meal.
This little guy has been silent just now. I think he is afraid of Zhongli's existence. Even though Jiang Xun has told him that Zhongli will not attack him, he still can't completely put his mind at ease. It's not that he doesn't trust Jiang Xun, these things are just out of instinct.
After satisfying his appetite, Jiang Xun then bought some New Year goods. After all, the Lantern Festival was approaching, and if he didn't buy these things now, he would be at a loss when the prices went up.
As an ordinary citizen of Liyue, Jiang Xun naturally does not have the wealth of Tianquan Star that can rival a country...
.....
As many days passed, the festive atmosphere in Liyue became stronger day by day.
Everyone in Liyue is welcoming this annual festival.
The streets of Liyue, which should have been quiet early in the evening in the past, were still filled with the sound of gongs and drums. People were coming and going on the streets, including the elderly and children on this day.
However, it is a pity that most of Jiang Xun’s old friends did not attend the Lantern Festival. The reasons they gave were similar, either they did not like the hustle and bustle or they had duties to attend to.
Gui Zhong and Herulia, who were most likely to attend, happened to leave Liyue and seemed to have gone to Xumi next door.
As for Ruoli, that girl is still in seclusion because she was ambushed by the Abyss Cult in the Layered Abyss last time. Zhongli said that she seemed to be thinking of some new tricks, but he didn't know what they were.
Jiang Xun understood why the immortals did not attend. The Sea Lantern Festival was a big festival for mortals, and they might only attend it a few dozen times in their lifetime. But for the immortals, this festival was just a day of slight commemorative significance, and they did not take it seriously.
.....
"It seems that there will be only three of us at this Lantern Festival."
At night, Jiang Xun said to Qiqi and Du Lin who was in her arms.
As for Diekarapian, she returned to Mondstadt some time ago, but she did not tell him her purpose. He only heard her mumbling something like "my treasure" and "keeping a sponsor" before she left, which confused Jiang Xun.
.....
"Brother, do you still remember the promise you made?"
Qiqi said something for no reason at this time, which made Jiang Xun fall into deep thought. His memory was very good, and he could even tell every detail of so many things that happened over the years without missing a word. The only question was, which promise was Qiqi talking about?
Jiang Xun remembered that he once said a lot of unrealistic things to coax Qiqi, who was still a child. Whether it was picking stars or picking the moon, he seemed to have said it.
I just don’t know which promise Qiqi is referring to?
Seeing Jiang Xun's somewhat embarrassed expression, Qiqi became a little disappointed.
"You didn't forget, did you?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten, but... this star or moon is a little difficult. Give me a few days to refine it... ahem, pick one and bring it back."
Qiqi felt a little disappointed when she heard this. The expectation that she had been waiting for for hundreds of years was once again dashed.
He subconsciously increased the strength in his hands and became a little excited.
Dulin: 6
"You really forgot..."
Qiqi's tone sounded a little aggrieved. She didn't expect that the thing she had been hoping to achieve for so many years seemed not so important to the other party.
Suddenly, a force pulled her forward. She looked up in surprise and found that Jiang Xun was holding her hand and walking towards the harbor, talking as he walked.
"That's really funny. Let's go. I hope this night's Xiao Lantern won't disappoint you."
Upon hearing this, Qiqi's expression slowly turned from worry to joy, and a sweet smile blossomed on her face.
It turns out that my brother was just joking!
Qiqi felt sweet in her heart. She was happy that Jiang Xun had not forgotten his promise to take her to see the lanterns next year. Even though this promise was delayed for a long time, for her, as long as it could be fulfilled, it would be fine at any time...
Jiang Xun glanced at Qiqi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other's delicate and pretty face was full of smiles again. Fortunately, the system gave him a good brain, otherwise he would not have reacted.
......
At night, the sky lanterns slowly rose into the sky as if they had made an appointment in advance. The sky lanterns dotted the dark sky like stars. Qiqi was once again attracted by the scene before her.
How long has it been since I last saw this scene?
If you think about it carefully, this is the first time I have seen the sky lanterns since my parents left, right?
Qiqi's eyes followed the progress of the sky lanterns as they slowly rose until she saw the dark starry sky dotted with countless sky lanterns. Among the countless sky lanterns, she easily found the one that belonged to her.
It is said that the Rock King will choose one of them from the Sky Lantern and fulfill the wish of the owner of that Sky Lantern...
She has heard this rumor since she was a child. Although she no longer believes it since she was old enough to understand, she now inexplicably hopes that it may be true.
I hope the Emperor's spirit in heaven can bless me and make my wish come true...
A young man watching a play somewhere: Huh?
.....
At this moment, Qiqi had completely lost the aloof look she once had as an immortal. She closed her eyes and placed one hand on her chest, like a believer with strong faith making a wish to her god.
Jiang Xun was somewhat curious about what kind of wish could make Qiqi, who had now become an immortal, have such a wish. However, he was not the kind of person who liked to pry into secrets. He only glanced at Qiqi's "pious" action and paid no more attention to it. He turned around and continued to admire the sky full of lanterns.
But he didn't notice that the force she was holding on to his shirt was getting stronger and stronger, like a person who had finally grasped the wish he had always dreamed of and was unwilling to let go...
