Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

While waiting for the food to be served, the private room was bustling with activity.

Xiao Gong patted Ling Hua's hand, then leaned close to her ear and whispered, "How are you feeling? Every time my dad gets drunk, he sleeps until noon the next day and complains of a headache when he wakes up."

Linghua responded softly, "Thank you for your concern. Actually, I'm doing okay right now. I'm not feeling particularly unwell. I just woke up and my head is a little dizzy, but thankfully Xinyang brought me a bowl of hangover soup in time, and the discomfort gradually disappeared after a while. I was just trying out the new knife with Xinyang."

At this time, Hu Tao had sharp ears and caught their conversation at once. She came over and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems that Linghua has a good alcohol tolerance. She drank so much yesterday, but she can still come to Wanmin Hall for dinner today with full of energy. Unlike me, I once talked about something with a client's family and drank a few more glasses without noticing. As a result, I had a severe headache the next day and couldn't do anything. But, having said that, you left so early yesterday, did you do some... hehe, fun things after you went back?" After saying that, Hu Tao blinked and smiled mischievously.

Linghua understood what Hu Tao meant and scolded her, "Hu Tao! Stop guessing. I was so dazed on the way home last night that I almost fell asleep. There was nothing fun to do there."

Walnut still had a wicked smile on her face: "It's fun just because you're asleep. It's late at night and everyone is asleep. Why..."

Xin Yang hurriedly interrupted Hu Tao, "Don't say that. Ling Hua was very drunk last night. I carried her all the way back to Chen Ge Hu, and we only had time to chat for a while."

Upon hearing this, Xingqiu waved his fan and laughed to offer a shrug. "Haha, Hutao, stop teasing them and see what Xinyang has done. Let's change to something more interesting. Didn't you discuss cooperation with Xiaogong yesterday? How did the talks go? Tell everyone."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao's eyes lit up instantly, and she said excitedly, "Oh, you've finally hit the nail on the head! I had a very lively chat with Xiao Gong yesterday. We'll start collaborating when Xiao Gong returns to Inazuma in a few days. You all know that my Wangsheng Hall is responsible for funeral ceremonies, and Xiao Gong's fireworks are very beautiful. Our two families are a perfect match."

Kurumi continued, "From now on, if there are any important ceremonies in the Toseido Hall, we can ask the people from Naganohara Fireworks Shop to arrange the fireworks and add to the atmosphere."

Xiao Gong added, "Our Naganohara Fireworks Shop will not only gain a long-term partner like Wangshengtang, but will also further expand the fireworks market in Liyue."

Xingqiu nodded and said, "This is truly a win-win cooperation. I'm sure the ceremony at the Hall of Rebirth will be even more impressive, and the reputation of the Naganohara Fireworks Shop will become even more renowned."

"Um...when will Xiao Gong return to Inazuma?" Ying asked.

"It should be these few days, what happened?"

"It's like this. I'm traveling on this continent, and we want to make Inazuma our next stop. I thought that if I could travel with you, I'd have someone to look after me on the road, and I could also hear you talk about Inazuma customs in advance." Ying looked at Xiao Gong with anticipation.

Xiao Gong's eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "What a coincidence! With you along, this trip is sure to be super fun. Inazuma has so many customs, just like the festival. I'll tell you about it later."

Linghua also said: "If you encounter any difficulties in Inazuma, you can go to Kamisato Yashiki and find my brother Kamisato Ayato. He will do his best to help you."

At this moment, Xiangling walked in and said with a smile, "Ah, you guys are chatting so lively! The dishes are all served. Come and try my cooking and see if it has improved!"

Hu Tao was the first to pick up a large piece of boiled fish with her chopsticks and praised, "Xiangling, this boiled fish is still so delicious!"

Xiao Gong also nodded: "It's delicious. If they open a shop in Inazuma, it will definitely be a hit!"

Everyone tasted the food, praised the dishes, and had a happy meal with laughter and joy.

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, everyone stood up to leave. Xiangling cleared the tableware while chatting with everyone, "It's snowing really hard today. It hasn't stopped since last night."

Chongyun looked out the window at the dense snowflakes falling and sighed, "With this snow, the entire Liyue Harbor has become peaceful and beautiful, but it's a little inconvenient to travel around."

Walnut jumped to the door, reached out to catch a snowflake, and shouted, "What's the big deal? Having snowball fights and building snowmen in the snow is so much fun! Wanmin Hall is closing soon anyway, so why don't we stay together and go play in the snow for a while before leaving?"

Paimon excitedly agreed, "Great, great! I've never had a snowball fight with so many people before. I must have a good time this time!"

The crowd cheered as they streamed out of Wanmin Hall, stepping into a silvery world. Hu Tao moved swiftly, grabbing a handful of snow and rolling it into a tight ball. He aimed at Ying, then swung his arm, sending the snowball flying like a cannonball. Ying reacted quickly, dodging with a sideways movement. Then, she quickly bent down, scooped up a handful of snow, and in the blink of an eye, she had formed a snowball and launched it back at Hu Tao.

Walnut turned her head and the snowball hit Paimon right behind her.

Paimon stomped his feet in the air: "Ying! I was just about to launch a sneak attack, why did you hit me? Aren't we in the same group?"

Walnut laughed so hard that he fell backwards, and said as he laughed: "Paimon, look, Ying has backstabbed you, why don't we join forces to deal with Ying together."

Paimon snorted angrily, turned his head, and crossed his arms over his chest: "Hmph, I won't be fooled! You two are bullying me, I'm going to find a reliable ally."

Before Paimeng could walk away, Xinyang's big snowball had already flown behind Paimeng.

"Wow!" Paimeng was hit by Xinyang's big snowball again. He was knocked forward and staggered several times in the air before he stabilized his body.

"Paimon, there are no allies in a snowball fight, everyone is an opponent!" Xinyang said loudly with a smile, while preparing to throw another snowball.

Paimeng hugged Chongyun beside him and said coquettishly: "Chongyun, please help me, they are bullying me."

Chongyun looked at Paimeng's pitiful appearance and smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll help you." Then he quickly bent down, scooped up snow from the snow with both hands, skillfully rolled it into several snowballs, and threw them at Hu Tao and Xin Yang.

Seeing this, Hu Tao and Xin Yang immediately teamed up, dodging Chong Yun's snowballs while simultaneously fighting back. Hu Tao shouted, "Xin Yang, let's deal with Chong Yun first! He's trying to protect his own!" The two of them worked in perfect harmony, raining snowballs down on Chong Yun.

At this time, Linghua, who had been making a snowman on the side, looked at the fierce "battlefield" and couldn't help but join in.

Linghua quietly slid around to the sides of Hu Tao and Xin Yang. While they were focused on dealing with Chong Yun, she quickly threw a few snowballs at Xin Yang. "I'll do it too," Linghua said with a smile.

Caught off guard, Hu Tao and Xin Yang quickly adjusted their strategy, assigning one person to deal with Ling Hua. Meanwhile, Xiao Gong, behind the "snow fortress," continuously churned out snowballs, providing "ammunition" for his "comrades," and occasionally peeked out, seizing the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack on his opponent.

Xingqiu continued to fan himself, watching the fight from a relatively safe place, muttering to himself, "When the snowball fight is in full swing, the spirits soar, laughter overflows as we go back and forth. The silver snowflakes splash, and friendship deepens. Sharing this scene brings joy to our hearts."
