Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Xianyun slapped his forehead helplessly: "Ah, what can I say about you?"

Shen He pulled the corner of Xianyun's clothes: "Master, what Senior Sister said is correct. Besides, Senior Sister is very powerful and can handle it even if there is danger."

Xianyun sighed softly: "Forget it, you've grown up now and have your own opinions. Just pay more attention to your own safety in the future."

Gan Yu lowered her head slightly and muttered softly, "Did I... did I say something wrong?"

Xianyun walked straight towards Yaoyao, squatted down, and asked gently: "Yaoyao, why are you and Qiqi here?"

Yaoyao blinked her big eyes and said, "Qiqi and I were flying a kite here. After the kite took off, Qiqi and I didn't hold on to the kite string tightly, so the kite flew away. Qiqi and I kept chasing it, and then we saw Sister Ganyu sleeping here, and then we met you."

Xianyun was slightly startled, and took out the broken kite from behind him: "Is this kite yours?"

Yaoyao took a closer look, her little face full of surprise and disappointment: "This is our kite. It must have fallen to the ground and broken. We haven't even flown it many times." The more Yaoyao spoke, the lower her voice became.

Qiqi gently tugged at Yaoyao's sleeve: "Yaoyao, don't be sad, let's go buy another one."

"But after today, Qiqi, you will have to go out with Mr. Bai to collect herbs." Yaoyao's eyes were slightly red.

Xianyun looked at the two little guys in front of him with a look of loss, his heart filled with distress. He gently took Yaoyao into his arms and said softly, "I'm sorry, Yaoyao, this kite didn't break. In fact, when we were flying just now, the kite was caught in the airflow I created and broke after hitting me. This is all our negligence. But don't worry, I will make you a new kite, okay?"

Yaoyao listened and looked up at Xianyun: "So that's how it is, Aunt Xianyun, I know you didn't mean it, I don't blame you."

Xianyun was moved by Yaoyao's sensible words. He gently touched Yaoyao's head and said, "Yaoyao is such a good child. Let's go to Auntie's house. I will make you a super beautiful kite."

When we entered the mansion, the floor and tables and chairs were clean because Ganyu had cleaned it, but the overall atmosphere still gave off a sense of coldness as if it had not been lived in for a long time.

Xianyun led everyone to a warehouse, where there were many materials collected by Xianyun for making magic weapons, including some high-quality materials for making kites.

Xianyun found a bundle of thin, tough bamboo strips, sourced from the Chenyu Valley, of exceptional quality, and several rolls of brightly colored, feather-thin fabric.

Xianyun looked at Yaoyao with a smile: "Yaoyao, think carefully about what kind of kite you want to make."

Yaoyao looked at Qiqi: "Qiqi, what kind of kite do you want?"

Qiqi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Qiqi would rather make a kite with Yaoyao."

Yaoyao's eyes lit up after hearing what Qiqi said. She turned to Xianyun and said, "Aunt Xianyun, can you teach us how to make a kite? Qiqi and I want to make one ourselves."

Xianyun smiled and nodded, his eyes full of approval: "Of course, I'm happy to teach you."

Xianyun looked at everyone again: "Do you want to fly kites during the Lantern Festival? Do you want to learn together?"

"Yes!" Shuili blurted out, "We want to learn too."

After saying that, Shuili walked over to Xiaogong, took her hand and said coquettishly, "Sister Xiaogong, can you make a kite with me?"

Xiao Gong smiled and pinched Shui Li's cheek, then said cheerfully, "Of course, Shui Li! Making a kite is such a fun thing, I'll definitely accompany you. Let's make a unique kite that will amaze everyone!"

Xinyang and Linghua also clasped their fingers together in tacit understanding: "We want to make a kite too."

Ganyu and Shenhe heard everyone's enthusiastic response, looked at each other, and joined in.

Shen He spoke first: "Then my senior sister and I will make one together, and then we can go fly a kite together." Gan Yu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xianyun looked at everyone's enthusiasm and said with a smile, "Haha, seeing how enthusiastic you all are, I believe the kites we make will be more spectacular than the last. Attention, all groups, the Xianyun Kite Classroom has begun!"

As he spoke, Xianyun picked up a bamboo stick and began to explain: "First of all, when we make the skeleton of the kite, we need to choose a bamboo stick with moderate thickness and good toughness. Bamboo like this is very suitable." As Xianyun spoke, he used a knife to shave the two ends of the bamboo stick until it was flat and smooth.

"Next, cross the two bamboo strips to form a cross. Note that the location of the intersection is crucial, as it affects the kite's balance during flight," Xianyun said as he demonstrated. He then picked up the silk thread and expertly wrapped it around the intersection, "applying even force when wrapping it so the frame remains secure."

Everyone listened to Xianyun's explanation attentively, their eyes fixed on the movements of Xianyun's hands, afraid of missing any details.

Yaoyao and Qiqi listened very carefully.

After Xianyun finished demonstrating, Yaoyao couldn't wait to pick up the bamboo stick and said to Qiqi, "Qiqi, let's try it too."

Qiqi nodded vigorously, and the two of them carefully placed the bamboo sticks crosswise. Perhaps because they were too weak, they couldn't fix the bamboo sticks.

Yaoyao was a little anxious, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she muttered: "This bamboo stick is so strong."

Xianyun came over and gave instructions: "First, wrap the silk thread around the intersection of the bamboo strips a few times to fix the position, and then slowly tighten it."

Following Xianyun's instructions, Yaoyao and Qiqi tried again. Yaoyao first wrapped the silk thread around the intersection several times, while Qiqi helped hold the bamboo strips. Together, they slowly tightened the silk thread. This time, the bamboo strips were finally firmly fixed, forming the prototype of a cross-shaped skeleton.

Elsewhere, Shuili and Xiaogong were making good progress. Xiaogong expertly shaved bamboo strips, quickly arranged them into a cross shape, and then quickly wrapped them with silk thread to secure them. Shuili, handing tools to the side, excitedly said, "Sister Xiaogong, once this skeleton is ready, we'll add super sparkly decorations to it, making the kite shine like fireworks at night." Xiaogong smiled and replied, "Sure, Xiaoli, whatever decorations you want, we'll arrange them."

Xinyang and Linghua worked in perfect harmony. Xinyang gently supported the bamboo strips with the wind element, precisely shaving them into the desired shape. The wind blades repeatedly brushed across the surface, leaving it impeccably smooth. Linghua observed carefully, offering occasional suggestions, and the two of them soon began to develop a kite skeleton.

In Ganyu and Shenhe's group, Shenhe's own strength was so great that the bamboo sticks were always overwhelmed and would break at the slightest effort. Shenhe frowned, looking at the bamboo sticks in his hands that were almost broken, feeling a little helpless.

Seeing this, Gan Yu softly comforted her, "Junior Sister, don't worry. Let's adjust the strength a little. These bamboo sticks are tough, but we still need to be more skillful when applying force."

Gan Yu picked up a bamboo stick and motioned for Shen He to join her. "Come on, let's do this: first, gently shave along the bamboo's grain to get a feel for its resistance, then gradually increase the pressure."

Shen He followed his instructions, and with their cooperation, they finally successfully shaved a bamboo strip. Then, Shen He placed two bamboo strips crosswise, and Gan Yu used the ice element to condense a thin but solid layer of ice at the intersection, not only fixing the bamboo strips but also making the skeleton shimmer with a crystal-like luster.
