    Chapter 148: Shadow: The God of Wisdom, Please Pay

    On the third floor of the Wang Sheng Tang internet cafe building, inside Asmodeus’s exclusive esports room.

    Asmodeus was happily finishing a game of Osu!, having just won another victory.

    Asmodeus took off her headphones, stretched, and lay back in her gaming chair, looking at the bustling street below.

    The street was incredibly lively; Asmodeus had never seen such a vibrant scene before.

    “This Liyue Lantern Rite is really lively,” Asmodeus murmured.

    Nahida, beside her, heard and said,

    “The Lantern Rite is the most important festival in Liyue. Basically, everyone in Liyue will return home to reunite with their families and celebrate the new year together.”

    Asmodeus nodded, then thought of something and asked,

    “By the way, Nahida, can you check where those guys are?”

    Nahida asked upon hearing this,

    “Are you asking about the other Gods?”

    Asmodeus nodded.

    “Yes, didn’t I tell them to come to Liyue for the festival yesterday? Have they arrived?”

    Nahida, upon hearing this, used her divine power to investigate.

    “The Cryo Archon and the Electro Archon are almost at the Liyue Harbor port. The Hydro Archon, along with an attendant, has already reached Qiaoying Villa and should arrive at Liyue Harbor tonight.”

    Asmodeus nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.

    “That’s good. Nahida, shall we all have dinner together tonight?”

    Nahida shook her head.

    “I’m afraid that won’t work, Archon Asmodeus. Didn’t you promise Ningguang you’d have dinner on the Treasure Ship tonight?”

    Asmodeus remembered upon hearing this.

    “Oh, right, I almost forgot. Let them have fun first, then we’ll meet at the Treasure Ship tonight.”

    Nahida nodded in agreement, contacting the Cryo Archon, Raiden Shogun, and the Hydro Archon through her divine power.

    At this time, the door was pushed open, and Silver Wolf walked in.

    “I’m here, Asmodeus.”

    Asmodeus was very happy to see Silver Wolf arrive.

    “Silver Wolf, you’re finally here! Quickly, quickly, log in!”

    At the Liyue Harbor port.

    Coincidentally, Raiden Shogun and the God of Wisdom had just disembarked and saw the Cryo Archon and the Young Master, along with a third person, not far away.

    The Cryo Archon came before Raiden Shogun.

    “Long time no see, Baal.”

    Raiden Shogun was a little puzzled.

    “Didn’t we just meet on Celestia?”

    The Cryo Archon was instantly speechless.

    “Baal, you haven’t changed at all. You’re still as good at making conversation as always.”

    Raiden Shogun nodded.

    “I think so too.”

    The God of Wisdom couldn’t stand it anymore. Her own Raiden Shogun was truly terrible at chatting; she’d killed the conversation in just a few sentences.

    “Long time no see, Archon Barbatos.”

    The God of Wisdom greeted the Cryo Archon, Barbatos.

    Barbatos nodded.

    “Yes, long time no see. That little fox from back then has grown up so much.”

    The God of Wisdom smiled.

    “Archon Barbatos is still as beautiful as ever after all these years~”

    Barbatos smiled slightly upon hearing the God of Wisdom praise her.

    “You’ve become quite smooth-talking now.”

    The God of Wisdom waved her hand slightly.

    “Oh, I’m just telling the truth.”

    Barbatos looked around.

    “You’ve received the message, right? Let’s go sightseeing first. Want to come together?”

    The God of Wisdom shook her head.

    “Let’s not. I want to see some old friends in Liyue later. See you tonight~”

    The God of Wisdom and Raiden Shogun bid farewell to Barbatos and walked towards Yujing Terrace.

    The God of Wisdom planned to see Ganyu first; she hadn’t seen her in so many years and missed her dearly.

    As they walked, the God of Wisdom suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked back and was instantly dumbfounded.

    “Where’s Raiden Shogun?”

    The God of Wisdom hurried back and found Raiden Shogun by a stall selling candied haws.

    Raiden Shogun was holding a string of candied haws and eating them very seriously.

    The God of Wisdom instantly covered her face. Who would have thought that the outwardly stern and cold Electro Archon actually loved sweets!

    The God of Wisdom quickly went over and pulled Raiden Shogun away.

    “Raiden Shogun, let’s go find Ganyu first.”

    Raiden Shogun nodded but didn’t move.

    Seeing this, the God of Wisdom said,

    “Let’s go, what are you standing there for?”

    Raiden Shogun calmly said,

    “I haven’t paid for the candied haws yet.”

    The God of Wisdom was instantly dumbfounded.

    “You just pay for them!”

    Raiden Shogun took another bite of a candied haw.

    “I don’t have any money, you pay.”

    The God of Wisdom rolled her eyes.

    An Electro Archon going out without money?

    The God of Wisdom paid for the candied haws, then directly took Raiden Shogun’s arm to prevent her from sneaking off to buy more sweets.

    Along the way,

    The God of Wisdom was going numb. There were too many food stalls along the way, and Raiden Shogun wanted to eat at every single one.

    Candied figurines, sugarcane juice, osmanthus cakes, flower cakes, and so on.

    The God of Wisdom had no doubt that if she hadn’t been holding her, Raiden Shogun would have eaten from one end of the street to the other.

    In Qiaoying Villa.

    Furina and Clorinde disembarked.

    Furina was in a very good mood. This was the first time she had ever left Fontaine to travel in so many years.

    Everything around her felt new and exciting to Furina.

    Furina looked around and saw a vendor selling flower cakes; the vendor was an old lady.

    The old lady noticed Furina’s gaze.

    “Little girl, would you like to try the flower cakes I made?”

    Furina was delighted upon hearing this. Oh, ho! Free samples, this is great.

    “Yes!”

    The old lady took one out and gave it to Furina.

    “Here you go, be careful, it’s hot. These were just made, my house is right next door.”

    Furina took it and felt that it was indeed a little hot.

    Furina blew on it and carefully took a bite. In an instant, Furina’s eyes lit up.

    “Mm~ Delicious! This is even better than what I’ve had before! How much is it? I’ll buy some.”

    The old lady smiled.

    “It’s cheap, 300 Mora each. How many do you want, I’ll pack them for you.”

    Furina waved her hand.

    “I’ll take everything you have!”

    The old lady, upon hearing this, actually refused.

    “You’ll buy so much you won’t be able to finish them. These flower cakes don’t last long, they’ll go bad.”

    Furina said,

    “It’s okay, I have many friends, I’ll share them with my friends.”

    Upon hearing this, the old lady agreed to sell all the flower cakes to Furina.

    After Furina paid, she picked up a large bag of flower cakes and sat down on a bench.

    A short while later,

    Clorinde drove up in a carriage.

    “Archon Furina, I’ve rented a carriage.”

    Furina jumped up from the bench upon hearing this.

    “Good work, good work, try the flower cakes I just bought.”

    Clorinde noticed the large bag of flower cakes next to Furina.

    “Archon Furina, why did you buy so many flower cakes?”

    Furina took a bite of a flower cake.

    “Because they’re delicious, of course! Come on, come on, help me put the flower cakes in the carriage, let’s go to Liyue Harbor.”

    Clorinde easily lifted the bag of flower cakes that Furina had needed two hands to carry.

    “Yes!”

    Furina got into the carriage, and after Clorinde put away the flower cakes, she drove the carriage towards Liyue Harbor.

    Along the way, Furina ate flower cakes while admiring the beautiful scenery.
