Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

"Hahahaha, as expected, I can easily draw a lucky number."

A burst of hearty laughter was heard. When I got closer, I saw that he had striking red ghost horns on his head, long silver-white hair with light red tips, one earring on his left ear and two on his right ear. He had a strong physique, red stripes on his body, and a loud and penetrating voice. He was wearing a purple lining and a black, patterned cloak that fluttered in the wind. The cloak was open, revealing his chest and abdomen. He had the Eye of the God of Rock hanging around his neck. He was drawing lots at a lottery booth.

Linghua came behind him and watched curiously. The man turned around and looked at Linghua.

"Hey, little girl, you look very familiar to me. I seem to have seen you somewhere." Yidou began to ponder, which was rare.

Linghua was about to introduce herself when she was interrupted by Yidou.

"Oh, I get it. You admire my insect-fighting skills and want to learn from me." Yidou had an expression that said, "I understand."

The stall owner hurried forward and said, "Hey, sir, she is the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayaka. You must not act recklessly."

Ichito suddenly realized, "Ah? What? Kamisato, oh~ I see, you are Ayato-nii's sister, right? You should have told me earlier, I am Arataki, the best in the world, Arataki Ichito." He made his signature move.

Linghua suppressed her laughter and stopped the boss when he tried to stop her. "It's okay. I'm just hanging out with friends today. Don't worry about my identity."

Seeing Yidou still moving, Linghua asked, "Do you know my brother?"

Ichito piqued his interest. "You're talking about Brother Ayato? Ayato and I can be said to be... uh, sort of. Oh, we met so late! If he hadn't reminded me that 'inspiring the fighting spirit of docile insects' is a lifelong commitment, I might have given up battling insects after my 780th defeat... Haha, it's true that only men understand men best. Hey, there's no need for words between him and me; our tacit understanding was fully demonstrated during our insect battles."

"My brother...can also fight insects?" Linghua was very confused.

"Of course, Ayato-san's insect-fighting skills are on par with mine. It's a shame Ayato-san isn't participating in the insect-fighting tournament, otherwise we'd definitely see a showdown between him and me. So, how about joining our Aradaki sect?"

Xin Yang said, "What a pity. Ling Hua and I are already members of the M78 faction. We can't join your Huang Long faction."

"What? You already have a gang. Then you really can't join the Arakaki faction. I wonder what your name is, brother?"

Xinyang scratched his head and said, "Emmm, I don't have a name yet. You can just call me Xinyang."

"Xinyang, if that's the case, then you can challenge me to a duel. Oh, by the way, are you here to draw lots?"

Linghua nodded and said, "Yeah, I saw there were a lot of people here so I wanted to come and take a look."

Yidou took out the lucky number he had just drawn, "Then we have to draw a lot quickly. I just drew a lucky number, Tian. Boss, please show me what this lot means."

The boss took the sign and looked at it. "The sky is full of divine power, and everything will be prosperous. You will have great luck in the future and make many friends."

"Hahahaha, you're worthy of being me. It looks like my Aragaki faction will definitely grow stronger in the future. Come on, brother, come and try some and see what your M78 faction will be like in the future."

Thinking of the bad fortune he had drawn at Mingshen Taisha Shrine, Xinyang felt a little reluctant. "Forget it, I don't really believe in drawing lots. I think man can conquer nature. Linghua, do you want to go and draw a lot?"

"Okay, boss, I want to draw a lot."

Linghua walked up and took a stick from the bamboo tube. After taking a closer look, she stood there in a daze.

Xinyang came forward to see what was happening. No wonder Linghua stayed where she was.

Yidou also saw how hard Linghua was smoking and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, the boss quickly came to the rescue, "You don't have to believe this fortune completely. Like he said earlier, man can conquer nature. Besides, I'm just a small stall, so it's probably not accurate."

In order to comfort Linghua, he said that his stuff was no longer accurate. After all, no one would be in a good mood on such a day when the lottery was so fierce.

Linghua had a blank expression on her face, but a hint of worry was revealed in her eyes. She said softly, "It's okay, boss. Please help me see what this sign represents." Her voice was calm, but with a hint of uneasiness.

The boss took the fortune sticks and carefully interpreted them. His expression was serious, and his tone carried a hint of caution. "This fortune stick indicates that there may be disasters in the future, even bloody disasters. This is just a game, don't take it seriously."

Xinyang's face paled instantly, his unease growing stronger. He stared at his boss with wide eyes, disbelieving, the words "bloody disaster" echoing in his ears. This was the same result he'd gotten when he'd drawn divination at Naruto Shrine. Could it be that Linghua would encounter a bloody disaster? No, absolutely not! A resolute desire to protect her surged within him; he couldn't let Linghua come to any harm.

He clenched his fists tightly, secretly resolving to protect Linghua no matter what. He would do everything in his power to prevent the horrific prophecy from becoming a reality. Linghua was the most important person in his life, and he couldn't lose her.

A hint of astonishment flashed across Linghua's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said to the boss with a smile: "Thank you, boss. I will be careful. How much is the signing fee?" Her voice trembled a little, and it was obvious that she had not fully recovered from the shock just now.

The boss hurriedly stopped him and said, "You really can't ask for money. It's not appropriate to ask for money when you draw such a bad luck on such a good day." His tone was full of concern and sympathy, as if he could feel Linghua's inner uneasiness.

Xinyang held Linghua's hand tightly, and instead of forcing her to pay, he pulled her out of the stall silently. They came to a quiet corner, away from the noisy crowd. Linghua's face looked a little pale, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes. Xinyang gently stroked her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, it's just a coincidence, it doesn't mean anything. I will always be by your side, and I will protect you no matter what happens." Linghua nodded slightly, trying to squeeze out a smile: "I can protect myself, it's just a little hard for me to accept it all of a sudden."

In this corner, they sat quietly, each other's company gradually calming Linghua's mood. Xinyang silently looked at Linghua, his heart filled with pity. He wanted to accompany her to browse the remaining items of the festival and help her forget the unpleasantness just now.
