Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

The house is bustling with activity now. Not only are there idle immortals, but people from other countries who want to participate in and experience the Liyue New Year have also been lured here by Lin Qiu.

In short, everyone at Lin Qiu's house is there except for Lin Qiu herself, who is still out there trying to abduct people all over the world.

Lin Qiu has indeed written a story about the New Year, but it will be released on New Year's Day.

Hey, some good-looking and smart readers might ask, 'The Lantern Festival is over, is writing about it still considered a spoiler?'

Yes, because what Lin Qiu wrote wasn't about this year at all, but about the future Lantern Festival.

A few days later at Lin Qiu's home, everyone sat together, seemingly discussing something very important.

"Dumplings, they really have to be made with cabbage and pork, right?" Lin Qiu was a conservative.

"Huh? Can't we put desserts in there?" Fufu is an innovator.

"What is this? A barrier? You want to add one?" Lin Qiu was bewildered.

"Dessert! Awesome!" Paimon exclaimed in support, as she was a dessert lover.

"Why don't we try adding more salt?" Heuria was clearly a fan of salty food.

"Salt is supposed to be added anyway, right? Why not add some chili peppers? It tastes better when it's spicy." Ye Lan is a fan of spicy food.

Several people argued vehemently, each refusing to yield. This was factional strife, the way of the king!

Chongyun immediately retorted, "It's too spicy!"

Then, realizing she had spoken too hastily and a bit harshly, she softened her tone, "Uh, I mean... could you not add chili?"

"Quiet down, let's hear what Maxius has to say!" Gui Zhong said, hugging Guoba.

A cute girl hugging an adorable 'doll' makes her three times cuter!

Guoba looked puzzled: "Lulu?"

“He said to add broth!” Hu Tao said immediately.

"Adding savory spices is so strange!" Xingqiu said helplessly.

The group had a heated discussion about dumplings, while the 'adults' who weren't involved just chatted idly.

Oh, and among those who didn't participate in the discussion, there were also some who weren't quite 'adults,' like D'Artagnan.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's more fun to fight me than to make dumplings, isn't it?" Dadalia raised his hand and spoke up.

"Young brother Wanye, how about we exchange a few blows?"

He was already itching to read the story, and now he finally got his chance.

Wan Ye smiled gently, "I'm sorry, it's not appropriate for friends to get into a fight."

One sentence and Dadalia was deflated. Looking at Yingbao, Yingbao completely ignored him, sitting quietly next to Lin Qiu, lost in thought, looking extremely aloof.

As long as she doesn't speak, no one will know she's dull.

Everyone shared their various ideas, and the discussion seemed quite enjoyable, since the chef, Xiangling, was in charge of cooking, so it probably wouldn't be too bad.

The premise is that she doesn't add any strange things to it, such as slimes or Cryo Registrars.

Only Dadalia was in a terrible mood. So many experts, yet no one was willing to spar with him. This was too torturous!

My hands are itching, my skin is itching, please stop me!

Unlike his unhappiness, Yae no Miko was very happy because she finally met Gan Yu and Qin, whom she had always wanted to see.

There's not much to say, I just need to complain to them about how hard the work is.

Gan Yu and Qin Na felt the same way, and the three women chatted happily.

Qin was talking about the pressure of work, Gan Yu was talking about the pressure of life, and Yae no Miko was the most special; she was talking badly about the gods.

The other two women couldn't join the conversation about Yae no Miko, especially Koto. If she said anything bad about the Wind God, her sister might cry—no, she definitely would cry.

As the three women chatted, several stacks of official documents appeared in their hands.

"Hmm, I didn't expect that a draft would be discussed here regarding the trade issues of Mondstadt liquor next year," Gan Yu remarked.

“Yes, Inazuma just lifted its isolationist policy, and I didn’t expect that the ‘first’ diplomatic deal would be settled here.” Yae no Miko also smiled.

"I actually have another suggestion regarding the purchase of Inazuma's knives," Koto said.

Looking at the three people discussing, Little Fufu couldn't help but wonder if she should bring Violet along as well.

Unfortunately, Navelette didn't like to participate in any festivals; he was a solitary dragon.

Fox Palace looked at Yae no Miko with great satisfaction; she had truly become a reliable palace priest.

Sitting next to her was Zhen; the two women, as the 'older sisters,' were both amazed by their 'younger sister's' growth.

Zhen's gentle gaze was fixed on Ying, her heartfelt satisfaction evident on her face.

This sense of satisfaction from growth continued until the film's opening statement, Lei: "I'll do it."

Silence fell, even Wendy stopped drinking.

The last time he stopped drinking was because he saw the name "The Story of the Sun and Moon," and the impact of that incident was no less than that of "The Story of the Sun and Moon"!

The old man was already thinking about how to slip away; he'd run away as soon as Ying got close to the kitchen.

"Shadow...why don't you let your sister do it?" Raiden Shin advised with a smile, though the smile seemed a little forced compared to before.

“It’s alright, Funina taught me.” Lei’s eyes were exceptionally firm.

Everyone knows Lei's movies; he's an incredibly stubborn person, and once he gets stubborn, few can persuade him. Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Fu Ningna.

How did you give her the courage to face the 'six-eyed flying fish'?

You taught it? Did you really teach it? If you didn't, we'll all die!

Funina was at a loss for words. She had intended to teach him, but she hadn't expected Ying's foundation to be so poor.

Fu Ningna herself wasn't a particularly skilled cook; she just knew how to make some home-style dishes and desserts.

It was really asking too much of her to teach Ying, but for some reason, Ying seemed quite confident.

Ying was confident because she had cooked once before, trying it out with Lin Qiu, and then Lin Qiu had someone help her taste-test the dish.

Lin Qiu told her that the person didn't have much of a reaction after eating it, which meant it was edible, right? She'd learned to cook! And since her sister was back, she could show off her skills!

Yes, Lin Qiu did find someone to test the dishes. He found a dummy soldier, who is a puppet, so he won't die. It's just that this year's New Year probably wasn't very fulfilling.

“Shadow, in the future I see, if you’re the one making dumplings, something bad will happen,” Lin Qiu said seriously.

He knows the truth best, so naturally he has to stop Ying. Lin Qiu said that he has never been so sure of his 'prediction'!

Dude, I was just joking with you before, but this time it's for real!

Mona's eyes widened. A prophecy? When? I didn't see it! Now I suspect you're just faking it!

"...This woman has so many things she's not good at! Ugh...Don't make me think about them!"

Chapter 335 Mingxiao Lantern

Everyone who saw the enigmatic smile on the figure's lips felt a chill run down their spines. "You're supposed to make dumplings?"

Hey, I have an idea! How about this: you and Hu Tao can make dumplings together!

You two can also take care of our funeral while you're at it; I want roses.

This is also a reunion; a reunion in another world is still a reunion.

Wendy nodded, agreeing with Lin Qiu's prediction. Indeed, even if I couldn't predict the future, I could see it.

Mona's eyes widened. What was going on? You made a prophecy without any prophetic actions? No, what gives you the right?

Mona felt a ticklish sensation in her heart, like being scratched by a kitten.

What will happen? I really want to know! Should I give it a try?

Among the people present were gods, outsiders, and herself. The cause and effect were too great for Mona to calculate clearly, so she was very curious about what the future Lin Qiu mentioned would be like.

Just how bad at cooking is Lei Yingdian? Apart from a few gods and two foxes, no one else really knows.

Lin Qiu had specifically told everyone last time to be careful not to let Lei Yingdian into the kitchen, but she didn't say what the consequences would be if Lei Yingdian cooked.

So, what everyone doesn't know is that he just had a near-death experience.

"I see." Ying said with a hint of regret. "Then let's do it next time."

Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. Next time, she would send some to the stragglers again, filled with maternal love.

After Ying's interruption, the argument died down, and everyone seemed eager to make a decision quickly and get the food ready so that Lei Dianying wouldn't come up with any more new ideas.

Several people skilled in cooking, including the traveler, went into the kitchen together; this was the cooking team.

Lei Yingdian didn't go with them. She wasn't someone who loved cooking, but she just wanted to show off her skills to Lin Qiu and her sister and surprise everyone.

Besides the cooking team, everyone else was also busy. Some were cleaning, some were decorating, and others were washing dishes later.

To avoid washing dishes, Xianyun invented an "automatic dishwashing machine," its little head held high like a proud crane.

No, she was originally a crane, so this means she's revealed her true form.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the group went out to explore Liyue City during the Lantern Festival.

There were too many people, so they naturally split into several groups to visit places that interested them.

Mona, for example, went to read novels with Fischl and Bennett.

Xianyun and Guizhong naturally searched for some strange and unusual toys on the street.

Kurumi, Navia, Ayaka Kamisato, Yoomiya, and Funina also went shopping together, with clothes and food as their goals.

Qin, Gan Yu, and Zhen are very reliable. They were playing with the children. Yae no Kamiko was just there, but she ran away when she heard that she had to take care of the children.

The deities went to Yujing Terrace, where the view was expansive and perfect for enjoying the scenery for a while. There was also a stone table left by Ge Chen, which they could sit on.

Lin Qiu was with Shen He and Klorinde. They didn't have any particular places they wanted to go, so they just followed Lin Qiu around.

No matter what people are doing, they can see the bright lanterns gradually rising into the sky.

Because there were so many sky lanterns, and more and more of them, they gradually lit up the starry sky.

The girls on the Walnut Team also released their own lanterns, making their wishes. The lanterns illuminated their smiling faces, adding to their radiance.

Lei looked at the lanterns in the sky. Each lantern carried people's 'wishes'. People released their 'dreams' into the sky and told them their stories.

In the past, she would have been unmoved by such a scene, but now, seeing it again, she stares intently.

Human desires are truly dazzling; when gathered together, they can even outshine the light of lightning, shining even brighter than the lightning itself.

Beside the gods, Xiao sat obediently, his eyes fixed on everything.

He had promised to visit the Lantern Festival with Zhongli, and he would naturally keep his word. However, traveling with several deities was quite stressful... perhaps more than just a little.

Therefore, he focused his attention on the 'scenery' at that moment.

Fireworks exploding in the sky were beautiful, dazzling, and noisy.

The lanterns floating in the sky are simple, natural, and quiet.

This combination of stillness and movement conveys the word 'stability'.

Vendors hawked their wares, children ran and chased lanterns in the streets, and groups of two or three pedestrians gathered together, chatting and laughing.

Isn't this harmonious and peaceful scene always like this?

Because Liyue has always been like this!

This is the scene that the Yakshas yearn for, but as the last remaining Yaksha, he cannot integrate into it...

Because everyone is going to be gone, but if everyone is going to be gone, then for whom am I supposed to exist?

Perhaps I am a relic they left behind, already gone with them.

They used to talk to Xiao about the wonders of human society and ask Xiao if he wanted to enjoy its 'brilliance' once peace and stability were achieved.

Xiao didn't want to, because all he knew was killing. If humans didn't need his killing, what would become of him? He didn't know, and he hadn't thought about that question.

Because Xiao never believed he could survive the killing, the Yaksha who created the carnage would eventually die in the carnage.
