    Chapter 100, Oser: Shame on me!

    Jing Yuan couldn’t help but wonder, should he retire here someday?

    It didn’t seem impossible. Mr. Zhong Li was the owner of this place, and surely getting a small plot of farmland and a little cottage wouldn’t be a problem.

    Ningguang and Keqing approached Zhong Li and bowed slightly.

    “Ningguang, the current Tianquan Star, greets the Emperor.” (Tianquan Star is one of the seven stars in Liyue’s Qixing governance system. Emperor refers to Zhongli’s title as the Geo Archon.)

    “Keqing, the current Yuheng Star, greets the Emperor.” (Yuheng Star is another of the seven stars in Liyue’s Qixing governance system.)

    Zhong Li heard the two women’s address, then glanced at Hutao, who was playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) with Amber and Eula.

    No need to guess; it must have been his Hutao who let the cat out of the bag.

    Fortunately, he was standing in a relatively secluded spot, under a shed; otherwise, others might have seen him.

    “Ah… Just call me Zhong Li. This body is merely a Wangsheng Funeral Parlor guest,” Zhong Li said.

    Ningguang and Keqing were intelligent women, and they naturally understood Zhong Li’s desire to remain incognito.

    “Yes, Mr. Zhong Li.”

    Zhong Li nodded slightly and looked at Oser.

    “You two should send the people away first. I’ll handle Oser.”

    Ningguang and Keqing responded.

    “As you command.”

    Ningguang and Keqing arranged for the Qixing Army to disperse the onlookers.

    After the surrounding people and Qixing Army had dispersed, Zhong Li walked up to Oser.

    “Transform into your human form.”

    Oser snorted coldly.

    “Humph! Why should I listen to you, Morax! A thousand years of hatred! How will you repay it!” (Morax is Zhong Li’s original name.)

    Oser was about to stand up and roar to the heavens when he saw the small grey-haired figure calmly drawing a greatsword burning with flames and grinning at him.

    Oser froze instantly, swallowing hard.

    Zhong Li said again.

    “Transform into your human form, unless you wish to suffer physical pain.”

    This time, Oser obediently transformed into his human form.

    Oser’s human form was a muscular man with a full beard, looking quite wild.

    Afterwards,

    The group set off for Wanmin Restaurant, intending to use its Teleportation Gate to return to the train.

    Along the way,

    Jing Yuan admired the brightly lit, bustling streets, enjoying the lively atmosphere.

    It was already dark, the moon was just rising, and various street vendors were hawking their wares on the roadside.

    The faces of the passers-by were filled with happy smiles.

    Klee and the other children were chasing and playing in the streets, their laughter echoing.

    Jing Yuan loved this kind of environment. Luo Fu once had similar places.

    There was a place called Jinren Alley. Jing Yuan remembered running there as a child to buy snacks.

    Back then, even a small snack like a Qiong Shi Bird skewer could make him happy for a long time.

    Now, as an adult, even the most exquisite delicacies struggled to bring him joy.

    Therefore, he cherished his time with Zhong Li, Walther, and Ye Yun.

    Their interactions were very equal; they were all friends, sometimes teasing each other playfully. This was something Jing Yuan hadn’t experienced in a long time.

    Bai Heng, Ying Xing, Jingliu, Danfeng.

    As they walked,

    The four little ones chasing and playing suddenly stopped at a street vendor’s stall.

    The group looked over and saw the four children curiously looking at the paper lanterns on an old woman’s stall.

    “Grandma, what are these?” Klee asked curiously, sucking her finger.

    The old woman smiled gently.

    “These are sky lanterns. The Sea Lantern Festival is coming soon, and releasing sky lanterns is said to bring good fortune.”

    Klee responded.

    “Good fortune? Klee wants to release a sky lantern! Grandma, how much are these sky lanterns?”

    The old woman smiled.

    “My little dears, grandma will give each of you one.”

    Upon hearing this, the four children repeatedly refused.

    “No, no, we can’t take your things for free,” Bailu frantically waved her hands in refusal.

    The old woman stuffed the lanterns into the four children’s arms.

    “It’s alright, these things aren’t worth much. I made them myself, just take them, be good, okay?”

    Seeing this, Bailu carefully examined the old woman, took off her medicine gourd, and asked a nearby juice vendor for a cup to pour some out.

    “Here, Grandma, drink this. Consider it payment for the sky lanterns.”

    The old woman was even fonder of these little girls; they were sensible and polite.

    “Okay, Grandma will drink.”

    Bailu watched the old woman drink the medicine before accepting the sky lantern with peace of mind.

    Zhong Li watched the scene unfold.

    “The Sea Lantern Festival is in a few days. It’s the most important festival in Liyue.”

    Zhong Li looked at Jing Yuan, Walther, and the others.

    “Would you all like to visit Liyue and participate in our Sea Lantern Festival?”

    Jing Yuan and Walther immediately agreed.

    “No problem.”

    The group continued to Wanmin Restaurant.

    They went to the second floor and entered the Teleportation Gate.

    They returned to Ye Yun’s shop.

    Ye Yun, Xiangling, and Noelle had already prepared many dishes.

    Tonight’s meal consisted entirely of stir-fried dishes. Ye Yun and Xiangling were incredibly fast, churning out dishes one after another.

    Meanwhile, the group from Belobog and Emerald, Towerpa were resting and chatting in the sofa lounge area.

    They had just arrived.

    After learning that Broniya and others were good friends with Ye Yun, Diamond decisively sent a batch of supplies to repair the relationship between the two sides.

    It was foreseeable that Belobog, relying on Ye Yun, would eventually soar to great heights.

    Diamond’s actions were a form of early investment.

    As the saying goes, the more friends you have, the more paths you have.

    In this cold universe, the more friends the better.

    Towerpa and Emerald were responsible for delivering supplies to Belobog.

    With the support of Diamond and others, Belobog had already reclaimed the land melted by the ice and snow in just a few days.

    The company provided a large number of building materials, and with the help of the mechanical golems in the Mechanical Hamlet, a residential area was quickly built.

    Now, Belobog’s housing problem was solved.

    Everyone in the lower city, except for the mechanical golems of the Mechanical Hamlet and Swaro, had moved back to the upper city.

    After discussions with Towerpa, Emerald, Gepard, and Seele.

    Broniya decided to stop mining the underground ores.

    Excessive mining would bring unimaginable disasters to Belobog.

    Emerald suggested that Broniya come to Ye Yun to find something suitable for economic development, believing Ye Yun would have something.

    She also stated that the company could invest in building factories, but only taxes were required; profits would not be shared with Belobog.

    Thus,

    This scene came about, with Broniya and others coming to Ye Yun’s shop.

    Emerald and Towerpa’s progress in collecting Star Crystals had been very slow.

    To be precise, many treasure chests across the universe had suddenly disappeared.

    Yes, disappeared.

    Now, only a small number of planets still had treasure chests.

    Therefore, they only brought 3,000 Star Crystals this time.

    The ten members of their team had already discussed that this time, they would buy things that could improve their strength.

    I have a cold today. I reviewed and revised a section from the previous chapter (the part about Zhong Li’s cover being blown). You can check it again.
