In the group:

Columbia: Huh? Testing me?

Columbia: Why?

Puppet: Who knows?

Lauma: …………

Qi Fu: I'd like to know what Qing Que said that got him beaten so badly.

Qingque: Waaaaah, I'm so miserable!

Xing: You're just reaping what you sowed.

Qingque: How come I brought this on myself? In real life, I wouldn't have been so clueless.

March 7: So, if this were the first time you saw the two characters "坦荡" (tǎndàng, meaning open and honest) in real life, and the calligraphy was still the same, what would you think it was?

Qingque: Uh...

Qingque: slut... whore...

Sambo: Sister, looks like you're still going to get beaten up, hahaha.

Wendy: Hahahaha

Walnut: Hahahaha

Su Chang: Actually, I really don't understand how those two words can be considered open and honest. They look more like the words of a harlot!

Qi Fu: This idiot is probably not going to make any mistakes.

Jingyuan: Indeed, as expected, hahaha

Fu Xuan: There's no hope for him.

Zhongli: Ha!

…………

After another round of laughter in the group chat, everyone turned their attention back to the video.

At this point, the video, narrated by Qingque, moves into the next flashback.

In the video:

"Alright, Aozaki, I won't dwell on the concept of 'universe' any longer. Just tell me how you investigated Teyvat," Hoshimi Aozaki interrupted her, as she was about to explain.

“Alright, then I’ll say it. After I arrived in Nordkalley in Teyvat, I first went to the territory of the Frostmoon Children on the Isle of Scythe, since I was going to interview the moon goddess Columbia.”

As Qingque finished speaking, the video officially entered Qingque's memories.

Xixi Island

"Wow, the scenery here is like something out of another world! These mountains, this water, and these... animals... it's truly..."

As Qingque walked on Xixi Island, she looked around at the beautiful scenery with a joyful expression, wanting to express her feelings.

However, he lacked literary talent and struggled for a long time without uttering a single word, finally managing to squeeze out only three characters.

"So beautiful!"

Then Xing's voice came from behind the scenes.

[Star: You're so beautiful, I'm at a loss for words]

[Qingque: Just tell me if it can be described.]

[Star: Please continue.]

Back in her memories, Qingque wandered around Xixi Island. She not only glanced at the enormous statue that the Frostmoon Children had built for Colombia, but also experienced the special powers of Rodcalai through a kind-hearted robot named Inefa. The Moon Spirit Journey...

Through the Moon Spirit Journey, Qingque also arrived at Frostmoon City, the territory of the Frostmoon Children, where she met the leader of the Frostmoon Children.

Lauma, the Moon Singer

"You said you came from the Immortal Boat Luofu to interview the Moon Goddess?" Lauma asked, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right, that’s right!” Qingque nodded vigorously.

"But the Immortal Boat Luofu is so far away from us, and you came here to interview the Moon Goddess. To be honest, I don't quite understand what you're thinking," Lauma asked, puzzled.

"I've been thinking about what you said. Why did you send me to this godforsaken place to interview the Moon Goddess Columbia?" Qingque replied in kind.

Lauma's expression changed slightly after just this one sentence.

"Nowhere to find birds to poop? Miss Blue Sparrow, how does this look like a place where birds don't poop? Didn't you just say the scenery here was beautiful?" Lauma questioned directly.

"Ah, birds don't poop, ah, I... I might have misspoke, that's not what I meant, I just meant to say birds do poop..."

"No, I mean, Bird Chao poops, but that's not right either..."

"I meant to say, uh... I meant to say... uh... I..." Qingque stumbled over her words again.

At this moment, Lauma also realized something.

“Miss Qingque, it is indeed a bit too natural here, but that's our custom. Being close to nature is a tradition of us Frostmoon Children. If you'd like something more convenient, go to Xia Town; I'm sure you'll be very satisfied there.”

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant. I'm saying that you all have that android named Inefa here, yet your place is so primitive."

"Your customs and traditions are truly astonishing! This is exactly what General Jingyuan and Lord Taibu sent me here to experience!" Qingque said hurriedly.

Although she understood what Qingque meant, for some reason, Lauma still felt an urge to punch Qingque.

However, she didn't throw the punch; her good manners allowed her to calm down.

“Alright, in that case, I'll introduce you to Lady Moon Goddess, Miss Qingque. Please come with me.”

And so, Rauma led Blue Sparrow toward Columbia's location.

The video didn't show the route Lauma led them to; almost the next second, they arrived at a new place.

Silver Moon Court

Upon entering this place, they immediately heard a melodious and beautiful song.

Upon hearing the song, Qingque immediately stopped at the entrance of the Silver Moon Garden.

After listening for a full minute or two until the song completely ended, Qingque nodded.

"It sounds wonderful! I've never heard a god sing before. If this were where I'm from, he would definitely be a superstar on par with the robin!" Qingque said with satisfaction.

Lauma: "…………"

His fist seemed to tighten a little more.

Then, the two continued forward, and after they walked out of the entrance to the Silver Moon Garden and entered the interior, a huge space appeared.

"Wow, is this the home of the Moon Goddess Columbia? It really is just like your territory, the domain of the Frostmoon Children, even more primitive. There isn't even a bed."

"As your own gods, why don't you offer them the best things in the world?" Qingque turned to look at Lauma.

"Uh, do the gods need these?" This surprised Lauma.

"Why wouldn't you need to? Our Star God needs others to please him, so why don't you Moon Goddesses?" Qingque retorted.

“But, Lord Moon Goddess is the Moon Goddess! She is a goddess! Shouldn’t a goddess be omnipotent? Why do we need to please her?” Lauma countered.

"Uh! I feel like what you said makes some sense, but something feels off!" Qingque was also confused.

The two: "…………"

And so, before either of them knew what to say, a stunningly beautiful white figure silently appeared behind them.

"I sensed someone had come in early this morning, so what are you doing here?"

The sound behind them startled them instantly.

"Wow!"

"Moon Goddess!" Qingque and Lauma both screamed.

"Moon Goddess, how did you suddenly appear behind us? This...this is terrifying!" Lauma breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Colombia.

"Hmm?" Columbia tilted her head, seemingly puzzled.

"Is this the moon goddess Columbia? Just like some legends and myths, the moon goddess is an extremely beautiful goddess, and she herself is even more beautiful than that statue," Qingque exclaimed.

"However, why do I feel like you, Lady Moon Goddess, have legs all below your neck? It's like you don't need to eat!" Finally, Qingque examined Columbia's entire body.

Lauma's lips twitched upon hearing Qingque's words.

"Thank you. Who are you?" Columbia didn't understand Qingque's meaning and looked at Qingque with great confusion.

"Qingque is a humble diviner from the Luofu Immortal Ship. I have come to Teyvat to experience the simple and honest folk customs of the Nordkalai people, and also to ask the Moon Goddess for your various thoughts on the Immortal Ship," Qingque answered truthfully.

"A simple and honest folk? That's my impression?" Columbia seemed even more confused.

"You mean to talk about ethnic customs, and the Moon Goddess's opinion on the Immortal Ship, right?" Lauma was somewhat speechless.

"Uh, hehehe, almost, almost!" Qingque laughed awkwardly.

“But I’ve never been to the Luofu Immortal Ship, and I don’t know anything about it,” Columbia said, tilting her head again.

"It's alright, ask me and I can tell you about the Immortal Ship," Qingque waved her hand.

"Okay, can I ask what the fairy ship looks like?" Columbia nodded.

"It's just like a planet, except that this planet can travel freely in the universe and reach any star system at will," Qingque explained.

“A planet that travels freely in space? Hmm! I have a vague idea in my mind.” Columbia nodded.

"Then, does the fairy ship have the moon as its companion?" Columbia asked again.

“No! To be honest, I only saw what a moon was after I got to Teyvat. It’s just a satellite orbiting its own planet,” Bluebird added.

"Do you like the moon in Teyvat?" Columbia asked.

"I like it!" Qingque nodded.

"Is that so? It's a pity I don't like it," Columbia said.

"Sigh, why?" Qingque was stunned.

Columbia: "Because..."

"I don't have a home in Dalian...?"

After Columbia finished speaking, she immediately started singing!

…………

"puff!"

Qingque's memory was abruptly interrupted.

Xing also coughed up blood instantly!

"Wait a minute, sister, what's this about not having a home in Dalian?"

"Does that Colombian singer know this song?" Xing couldn't hold back any longer.

"Of course she wouldn't. How could such a beautiful goddess, who is also a bit naive, possibly sing this kind of song?" Qingque naturally denied it.

"Then what's with this memory of yours?" Xing asked speechlessly.

"Because I made it up!" Qingque said proudly.

"So, your initial memories were all fake?" Xing was even more speechless.

"No, it's not all made up. Things like 'birds don't poop,' Lauma correcting me, and Inefa are all true. As for the moon goddess Columbia, I did see her, but only from a distance. Besides, Miss Lauma and Inefa were with me at the time," Qingque denied.

Xing: "So, what is the real situation?"

“Because my identity is unknown, and they don’t know Xianzhou, they think I’m a bad guy, so they’ve been monitoring me the whole time. Meeting the Moon Goddess Columbia was just a coincidence,” Qingque continued.

"Because it was quite far away, Colombia looked very strange to me. It was like a fluttering moth, with a fat head, a big body, and long legs."

"And I said those words unconsciously. In the end, because of those words, they both thought I had offended Columbia, so they beat me up badly. And then, out of nowhere, a meteorite fell and hit me on the head."

I vaguely heard a voice say, "Hmph, how dare you offend the people of Liyue! You deserve to be smashed!"

star:"…………"

The silence lasted a long time; it took Xing quite a while to recover.

"There are so many things to complain about that I don't even know where to begin. But I still have to say, you deserve it! How dare you call Columbia a moth! And a fat head with long legs!" Xing said, rubbing her forehead, speechless.

"So, in the end, they beat you up like this?" Xing asked again.

"No, although they beat me up badly, they still treated me in the end."

"However, when I woke up, I found myself in Liyue!"
