Genshin Impact: I, the first water follower, makes players excited

"So many stalls! Here... and there!"

Paimeng looked here and there, just like a country girl who came to the city for the first time.

"Eh? That kid!"

Paimon suddenly saw a familiar figure and quickly flew over to greet him.

"Changchang!"

Changchang also turned around, and after just a moment of confusion, he remembered who these people were.

"Hello everyone, big brother is really here for the Lantern Festival!"

"Yeah, you promised after all, didn't you?"

Hines leaned over and touched Changchang's head with a smile.

Changchang was a little surprised to see Hines greeting him with a smile. He didn't expect that he still remembered what he said casually.

"Changchang, what are you doing here?"

Ying's tone also became gentle. After all, who would speak harshly to a child?

"Changchang just donated the doll to the older sister over there because last night he dreamed that his wish was to fly up to the sky. This can be considered as fulfilling his wish!"

Following the direction of Changchang's finger, they saw a large night lantern being made...

Walking a little further away from Changchang, Paimeng spoke with some doubt,

"So the doll can still come down?"

"...It should be possible, if you're lucky..."

Ying imagined in her mind the night lantern flying up into the sky, flying, flying...

But how long would such a large night lantern take to fly?

Ying said she had never seen it and didn't know.

But they quickly skipped over the topic. After all, the owner of the doll didn't care about it, so why should they care so much?

As the three of them were walking, a figure with gray hair and a slightly hunched back appeared before them. Paimon's eyes lit up.

"Grandma Ping!"

Grandma Ping smiled and nodded, saying casually,

"This year's Mingxiao lanterns are designed to commemorate Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun. That guy who loves to show off his power should be very happy..."

Afterwards, Grandma Ping slowly told the story of this immortal.

"Haha, whether you believe it or not, it's a great comfort that someone is willing to listen to me talk about these old stories."

......

"I believe it. How could I not believe what you said?"

"Grandma Ping's shockwave is still fresh in my memory."

"Ah, Grandma Ping must be very sad to see her friends dying one by one."

......

"Goodbye, may the torch of virtue be passed on forever."

Grandma Ping turned around and stared at the huge Mingxiao lantern that had not yet been completed, and stopped talking.

Hines fell silent as he listened to Grandma Ping's words. Liyue still has festivals to commemorate dead immortals, but what about Fontaine?

There seemed to be no such festival in his memory to commemorate Egolia.

Hines shook his head and stopped thinking about these meaningless things. He looked at the floating stone in the center of the huge platform from afar.

"Let's go and look at that stone."

Hines walked slowly along the busy streets, his eyes constantly wandering over the decorations around him.

"It's really lively, but unfortunately I don't like overly lively atmospheres."

Paimon and Ying had already walked to the railing and were observing the floating stone wrapped in chains up close.

"Come and see! This stone is floating in the air! If it weren't tied up with chains, I wonder where it would fly to?"

Shines was pulled to the fence by Paimon who flew over and looked at the floating stone trapped by the chain.

"Probably not as high as the Qun Yu Pavilion."

"This guest is truly rude. Please do not discuss matters concerning the Qun Yu Pavilion casually right now."

Hearing the strange voice, the three of them turned around subconsciously. The person who spoke looked at the three people in confusion and smiled faintly.

"My name is Jiang Zhou, and I'm in charge of the construction progress statistics for the Mingxiao Lantern Festival. Is this your first time in Liyue to witness the Sea of ​​Lanterns Festival?"

Paimon covered his mouth with his hands in surprise.

"Ying, how did she know!?"

Ying looked at the ordinary woman in front of her in confusion. Yes, how did she know?

Hines rolled his eyes.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just a magical white flying object like Paimon, it would be very impressive whenever it appears, right?"

Jiang Zhou clapped his hands lightly in agreement with what Hines said.

"That's right, I don't remember a strange group like you coming here last year."

Ying suddenly realized and looked at Paimeng seriously. This guy would expose their whereabouts, so should they eat the emergency food directly?

Paimon shuddered uncontrollably when he saw Ying's scrutinizing gaze.

Hines turned his attention back to the floating stone in front of him and asked casually,

"By the way, what's the difference between Mingxiao Lantern and Xiaoxiao Lantern?"

Jiang Zhou took a step forward and held the railing with both hands.

"During the festival, the small lanterns people release are called Xiao Lanterns, while the giant lanterns built by all the people of Liyue are called Mingxiao Lanterns!"

Jiang Zhou's words revealed a strong sense of pride. After all, this was a grand performance that could not be seen outside of Liyue.

The night lanterns, carrying the wishes of all the people in Liyue, fly into the sky one by one. The largest night lantern is high in the sky, illuminating the lights of thousands of homes in Liyue.

"Of course, if you go further, you'll see the night market. This is a rare market that isn't run for profit, but simply to raise resources for the construction of the night lanterns."

Jiang Zhou's words successfully attracted Paimeng's attention.

"The market! Is there anything to eat there?"

"Of course. Although it's not for profit, all businesses are putting in their best efforts to compete with each other in craftsmanship at the Lantern Festival."

Jiang Zhou looked at Paimeng with a smile. The little thing is so cute, he wants to raise it!

Hines' eyes also lit up.

“Excuse me, is there any restaurant that has particularly good food?”

"Then I recommend you go there."

Jiang Zhou pointed to a roadside stall that was doing very brisk business.

Ying felt helpless.

"We've noticed that the food there is really good. But isn't it a bit too crowded?"

Hines smiled crookedly,

"I only need to make a little effort to eat the food here!"

Paimon's eyes were full of anticipation, while Ying stretched out her right hand, clearly expressing her meaning.

You you on the line!

Hines strode forward, taking out the envelope Ningguang had given him.

"Lady Ningguang has ordered me to purchase food..."

When the people in line heard Ningguang's name, most of them chose to move aside, but some...

"Even if Lady Ningguang comes in person, she still has to queue! Can't she be so unreasonable?"

Hines's smile remained unchanged. He took out a Mora with his other hand and continued,

"This is compensation for disturbing you all."

With a flick of his hand, the Mora fell to the ground with a clang. Everyone, whether in the queue or not, rushed to pick up the Mora on the ground.

Ying and Paimon looked at Shines openly throwing money around and actually thought it was very reasonable.

Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment, then whispered to Ying,

"Could you please do it again? Just next to me!"

Hines looked back at Ying and Paimon and grinned.

"mission completed!"
