"The materials are ingenious, the craftsmanship is unique, and the details are handled properly, which shows the craftsman's dedication and shows the charm of the emperor. Whether it is for display or play, it is worth buying."

Old Yang also knew Zhong Li, and seeing him praise his work so highly, he immediately laughed:

"If Mr. Zhongli wants it, I can give you a 10% discount."

Each of these works was meticulously crafted by him over a considerable period of time, so the price is actually quite reasonable.

Zhongli shook his head: "This item is quite rare, but the price is a bit low. In my opinion, selling it for 600,000 would be just right."

"Haha, Mr. Zhongli is straightforward, but I have already set the price, so it cannot be changed at will. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a breach of the spirit of contract that the Emperor values?"

"That makes sense, I didn't think it through."

"Then, Mr. Zhongli, do you still want it?"

"Yes, but no need for a discount, just do as the boss says. As for the bill... send it to the Northern Bank."

Just as Zhongli was making the deal with the boss, a gasp came from behind.

Zhongli listened carefully and instantly understood.

It turned out that she was here.

Chapter 18: Making Time Even in a Busy Situation to Buy a Carved Cat

"Lord Mu is here, everyone please make way."

Someone shouted this, and the crowd surrounding Lao Yang's stall quickly made way for him.

After the crowd dispersed, a young girl walked out, dressed in light armor, with her long hair tied up in a high ponytail and a dark cloak draped behind her. Her eyes were sharp and she exuded heroic spirit. She was truly a fine female general!

Even Zhongli couldn't help but secretly admire it.

Kaiyang Xing was already handsome, and this outfit made him even more dashing!

The young men watching were staring intently at Mu Qingge, but quickly looked away as soon as she did.

Even the most ordinary gaze from Mu Qingge made these young men afraid to look her in the eye.

As Mu Qingge approached the stall, she saw Zhong Li looking at her and was startled. She quickly walked over.

"Mr. Zhongli is here too. I apologize for my rudeness. Mr. Zhongli, are you here to purchase the Emperor's clay figurine?"

Mu Qingge is quite straightforward. In Jiang Mumu's setting, she, like Ningguang and Keqing, is unaware that Zhongli is the Rock King Emperor.

But this did not diminish her respect for Zhongli.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "I was just passing by when I had nothing to do, and I happened to see the shopkeeper selling this item, so I thought I'd buy one."

"I never expected to run into Lord Mu here."

Mu Qingge quickly waved her hand: "Mr. Zhongli, just call me Mu Xiaoyou as usual."

Mu Qingge could not bear the title "Lord Mu".

"Haha, then please go first, young friend Mu."

A smile appeared on Zhongli's usually placid face.

He was quite satisfied with this contemporary Kaiyang star, who was capable, talented, humble, and full of ideas.

Zhongli would feel much more at ease even if he abdicated.

After speaking with Zhong Li, Mu Qingge turned to the shop owner and asked, "Boss, has anyone ordered the largest clay figurine?"

"not yet."

"Then I'll take it. How many Mora?"

Mu Qingge's savings weren't actually that much. Although her salary was high, she hadn't been earning it for many years, and she had sent her salary home over the years. She also had a younger sister who was still in school, and she wanted to give her parents and sister a better life.

However, the Emperor clay figurine is something I have to buy!

Mu Qingge has a very high level of faith in the Rock King Emperor and is a fanatical cook of the Emperor!

Unlike Ke Qing, Mu Qingge is an open fan and openly likes her!

Those who know Mu Qingge well know that she is usually a very rational person.

But even such a rational person once spent all his money to buy a piece of Emperor merchandise sold by Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, which resulted in him running home every day for the next half month to rely on his parents for financial support.

This time was no different. Although it was a bit more expensive, Mu Qingge had a reason to buy it.

Fortunately, she now has her own little savings, though not much, but enough to buy a clay figurine.

“Mr. Zhongli, you are busy. I have important matters to attend to. I will visit the Rebirth Hall later. Please tell Master Hu that I have agreed to the matter she mentioned to me.”

"Take care, young friend. I will definitely pass on the message."

After Mu Qingge turned around, she noticed a figure wearing a cloak.

Her figure was quite conspicuous. Everyone else was open and honest, but she was wearing a cloak, sitting at a stall next to them with a pot of tea on the table, glancing over from time to time.

As Mu Qingge was guessing who it was, she suddenly noticed the unique headdress that was faintly visible under the figure's cloak, and she understood immediately.

Mu Qingge shook her head and chuckled. Noticing that the other person was looking at her, she deliberately held the giant clay figurine of the Emperor higher than usual, and then slowly left under the gaze of everyone.

……

Ke Qing was very anxious.

She has a lot to do today, and many things are still unfinished, but that's not what she's in a hurry for.

Ke Qing secretly went over for a peek, and those clay figurines were so exquisite and beautiful!

She really likes it!

Especially the biggest one!

The largest one was bought by Mu Qingge. They are very good friends. You can take a look when you visit her house. No rush.

But now it seems that many people have started to buy them, including those who were originally waiting and watching. After Mu Qingge and Mr. Zhongli each bought one, they couldn't hold back anymore.

This made Keqing unable to sit still.

She put her work aside and came all this way just to buy a clay figurine. She originally planned to sneak a peek after the crowd dispersed and then accidentally buy it.

But now...

After sitting for a few more minutes, Keqing couldn't sit still any longer, so she ran over and joined the crowd from behind.

After listening for a while, when she learned that there were only two left, Keqing immediately took out the money and slammed it on the boss's table.

"I'll buy this clay figurine."

Ke Qing deliberately lowered her voice and carried away the larger of the two clay figurines.

The onlookers all turned to look at Ke Qing, wondering which boss was so generous.

Keqing had already run away with the clay figurine the moment she bought it, and besides, she was wearing a cloak, so she couldn't see it clearly.

After Old Yang finished ordering Mora, he discovered that he had tens of thousands more than he expected. He was about to look up when he realized that Ke Qing was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, where's that customer? She overpaid!"

……

Keqing, having just bought the clay figurine, ran with a satisfied smile on her face, but then, realizing it was inappropriate, she forced the smile back and reverted to her usual expression.

But I was still secretly delighted.

Although this clay figurine is not the largest one, it is definitely among the top five in size, fully demonstrating the emperor's domineering aura!

This trip was definitely worth it!

……

In the evening, after finishing her work, Mu Qingge carried the large clay figurine she had bought that day and placed it in the most conspicuous spot in her room. She looked at it carefully again and again, and finally chose to place it at the golden ratio point.

After that, Mu Qingge climbed into bed and lay down.

Having served in the military for so many years, she has long since mastered the skill of falling asleep in just over ten seconds.

I had only been lying down for half a minute when I heard even breathing coming from the bed.

……

Mu Qingge got up early, before dawn.

Today is Liyue's annual Summoning Ceremony, one of Liyue's grandest festivals.

Liyue Harbor was unusually lively today. Under Mu Qingge's arrangement, the Thousand Rock Army guarded various checkpoints and key locations early on, and a large number of Thousand Rock Army soldiers patrolled throughout the harbor to maintain order.

On the main street of Liyue, a blonde traveler and her emergency food Paimon are exchanging information.

"Ying, we can't set off so late next time. We've been rushing the whole way, and Paimon is exhausted."

"Paimon has always been flying."

"Flying is tiring too, Paimon's phantom limbs are extremely tiring!"

Ying rolled her eyes. Paimon had been urging her along the way, and Paimon didn't seem tired at all.

"Is this Liyue? It's really lively. The Summoning Ceremony seems to be over there. Paimon, shall we go... Paimon?"

Ying turned around but didn't see the little guy. Seeing people coming and going, she immediately panicked.

Has she been kidnapped?

Suddenly, Ying heard a familiar voice, and her face immediately darkened.

"Hey boss, what's this? It looks delicious!"

"Sir, this is a specialty of Liyue – grilled tigerfish. Judging from your attire, you must be from out of town. You absolutely must try this when you come to Liyue..."

Paimon was tempted by the boss's words, his eyes fixed on the grilled tigerfish, and he almost couldn't stop drooling.

"Boss, I'll have five skewers!"

Ying sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

But considering how tough it had been these past few days of eating and sleeping outdoors, Paimon and I decided to find a place to sit down and have a meal first.

Anyway, I just found out that the ritual to invite the immortals will take a while.

Chapter 19 Update: The Approaching Guest Star

Since Ruola gave Paimon 100 million Mora, Luminous and Paimon have no more worries about Mora.

When eating, we tend to order more food, because with Paimon around, nothing goes to waste.

Just as the two were enjoying Liyue snacks, a sudden commotion broke out around them.

Ying listened carefully and realized that someone had come over. That person was very famous, which was why it had caused such a commotion.

Soon, not far from Ying and Paimeng's stall, a valiant female general led a formidable Thousand Rock Army through.

The moment Ying saw the female general, the tigerfish that Ying had already put to its mouth suddenly stopped, its eyes fixed on the female general as she slowly walked by.

Coming to her senses, Ying took a bite of the tigerfish and found it incredibly delicious.

"Paimon, aren't you the strongest guide in Teyvat? Let me test you, who was that female general who just led the way?"

"Uh...this..."

Paimon was embarrassed and didn't know what to say; it didn't know.

"Gentlemen, let me introduce you. The one who just passed by is Mu Qingge, the Kaiyang Star of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates of Liyue!"

"Mu Qingge?!"

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement in each other's eyes.

Wasn't the thing Nora asked them to bring for Mu Qingge, Kaiyangxing of Liyue?

I didn't expect to see you so soon!

"Traveler, hurry, let's catch up with her quickly, or she'll disappear without a trace!"

Paimon grabbed the grilled tigerfish and was about to chase after her; she was very enthusiastic about things related to Nora!

The other person not only gave her so much money, but also treated her very well, bringing her food and being her very good friend!

Even though Nora would occasionally tease her, she never gave her an unpleasant nickname, which shows that Pamondo liked Nora.
