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

His brothers and sisters didn't think that way. They wanted to see the splendor of humanity, integrate into human life, and enjoy this hard-won stability.

Unfortunately, fate played a cruel trick on him. The Yaksha who longed for peace never got to see the world after it was settled, while the Yaksha who only knew how to kill lived to this day.

Therefore, life is indeed bittersweet.

This peaceful and stable situation was not something we were born with; it was earned through countless sacrifices.

Therefore, in addition to making wishes, these lanterns also serve as a form of remembrance, honoring those who died for them.

For example, the giant Mingxiao Lantern that will soon appear—the True Lord of Shifting Clouds and Guiding Heaven.

It was a magnificent deer, with a remarkably beautiful appearance.

His antlers shone brightly, and the blue tassel-like light on his tail was even more beautiful.

His antlers were so magnificent, they were his favorite thing, and he loved to show them off the most in his life.

However, in order to protect Liyue, he ordered his horns to be cut off, just to provide shelter for the crumbling Liyue.

But his antlers were too hard, and when cutting them off, one had to start from the base, which was incredibly painful.

Even so, he never stopped, and even after his antlers were cut off, he continued to fight until he bled his last drop of blood.

His horns supported Mount Tianheng, his blood flowed into the Azure River, and he has become a part of Liyue.

Character Voice Lines - Xiao: About the Night Lantern

"I really hope they can see this scene too... Are there also memorials for them among the sky lanterns?"

Once the lanterns reach the sky, the message should arrive.

Chapter 336 The Strings Play a Splendid Night

Under everyone's gaze, he, who had been motionless, seemed to wake up, slightly turning his head and his ears twitching.

Is he truly the Bright Light Lamp, or a temporary resurrection of the real True Lord of Shifting Heaven and Guiding the Sky?

Unbeknownst to many, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he lowered his raised forelegs, stepped into the air, and ran through the air, running higher and higher until he leaped into the air!

A blue streak of light swept across Liyue, and following this beam of light, more and more lanterns were released, illuminating the entire Liyue.

So many lanterns illuminated Liyue and filled everyone's vision, but the Divine Lord of the Sky was even more dazzling.

He leaped into the air and soared into the sky, exploding at the highest point into a dazzling firework, a firework that made even Xiaogong's eyes widen in amazement, so brilliant.

So life isn't just bitter, it can also be as brilliant as a song, right?

"Traveler, look! It's so beautiful!" Paimon shook Yingmei.

“Yes.” Yingmei nodded, then smiled at Paimon and said, “Let’s watch it together again next year.”

"Of course! Next year, the year after, every year! We'll watch it together!" Paimon clapped his hands.

Xiao stared intently at all of this, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He knew why he existed; he was the proof of their existence.

I am not their legacy, Liyue is! This city, this country, are their legacies.

The things they left behind are still accompanying me and healing me, aren't they?

Zhongli secretly observed Xiao and, seeing Xiao's expression, breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

The invitation was worthwhile; Lin Qiu's suggestion of a giant sky-guiding lamp actually worked.

"Your story is in Lin Xiaoyou's new book." Zhongli handed the book to Xiao.

"Me?" Xiao asked in confusion. Hadn't I already written my story before? And now there's another one?

Wendy nodded. "Yes, not just you, but us too."

He and Zhongli hadn't read the book yet; Lin Qiu had told them all this.

So they were quite curious: what would they do together in a future without a prophet?

That said, there's no need for Lin Qiu to write the story of Yi Xiao Dao Tian Zhen Jun, because someone else has already written it, and the people of Liyue know it well.

That's why Liyue made such a night lantern this year. Lin Qiu only mentioned it to Ningguang, and it was approved very easily.

Meanwhile, inside the Northern Bank, Rosalyn and Arecino sat together looking at the night lights outside the window.

Neither of them went to Lin Qiu's house; only Dadalia from the Fools went.

"Aren't you going to put one out?" Rosalyn asked.

"No." Arecino shook her head.

"Really? Then I'll go put one away." Rosalyn waved her hand slightly and turned to leave, but she walked very slowly.

"...Sigh, light one for me too." Arecino's voice came from behind Rosalind.

Rosalyn neither turned around nor responded, leaving Arecino with only her back turned, leaving it unclear whether she had agreed or not.

If you could see her face directly, you would notice a slight smile on Rosalyn's lips, and her previously slow pace returned to normal.

I've already prepared the lanterns in memory of Clementine for you.

Arecino looked up at the lanterns outside the window. The lanterns' light was not dazzling; their faint, warm glow was more likely to evoke memories.

But sadness really isn't suitable for the New Year, is it? Arecino pulled herself together and turned her gaze to the book in her hands.

This is Lin Qiu's new book, which is about the Lantern Festival in Liyue, but not this year's, it seems to be next year or the year after? Anyway, it's sometime in the future.

As night deepened, the crowd, having finished their fun and strolling, returned home contentedly to Lin Qiu's house.

The Lantern Festival is now over. Let's take a look at Lin Qiu's vision of the next Lantern Festival.

'Lantern Festival: A Night of Melodious Music'

The story begins with Yingmei, whom we all know and love.

When the Lantern Festival arrives in Liyue, Yingmei and Paimon naturally have to come back to visit, but who should they go to first after they return?

Paimon suggested going to find Xiangling, for no particular reason other than the gluttonous girl was craving something.

However, before the two could make a move, Zhongli strolled over.

Zhongli originally came out to complete the task assigned by Master Hu, but he went to have tea instead. Now that he's finished drinking, he should be able to get started, right?

No, he suddenly had a whimsical idea and decided to wander over to Qingce Village to find some "sprouting bamboo shoots".

There wasn't any particular reason; I just thought it tasted good.

Readers were also ashamed, realizing that this God of Contracts, after retiring, was no less formidable than the God of Liberty.

The boss assigned you a task and you're not in a hurry at all, you even plan to walk to Qingce Village to find "sprouting bamboo shoots"? Aren't you being a little too lazy?

What's even more amazing is that Zhongli described the bamboo shoots as incredibly delicious, and Paimon, that gluttonous girl, couldn't resist and was immediately fooled.

Wendy, on the other hand, watched with a smile, enjoying seeing the old man's expression, which reminded her of herself.

In the story, Paimon also discovered that Zhongli said that on purpose to tempt her appetite, but no matter how much she discovered it, she still couldn't resist the temptation.

Seeing how much Paimon was craving bamboo shoots, the traveler, being very indulgent towards her, decided to set off immediately to gather some, since Yingmei was also quite hungry for them.

Zhongli immediately said, "That's great! Go ahead, but remember to bring me some back when you come back."

Zhongli said, "Bamboo shoots are merely an embellishment to the dining table. Sharing them with friends truly brings out their significance."

Although it may seem like a scam, it does make sense.

So the traveler agreed and would also bring back some "sprouting bamboo shoots" for Zhongli.

The bamboo shoot issue has been left to the traveler, but what about what Walnut wants? Zhongli thought for a moment and decided to have another drink before setting off.

At Lin Qiu's house, everyone's eyes were on Wendy. That's right, not Zhong Li, but Wendy.

How come his personality has become so much like yours? Did you corrupt His Majesty?

"Huh? Is it my fault?" Wendy pointed to herself.

Wendy protested her innocence: "How could I possibly corrupt the old man? If I could, I would have done it long ago! Why would I have waited until now?"

When it comes to stubbornness, Zhongli is no less so than Ying. However, Zhongli likes to think things through when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't stick to his own ideas.

The God of Contracts is not like the God of Eternity, who once he sets his sights on an eternity, he devotes all his energy to it.

But before Zhongli retired, who dared say he wasn't stubborn? Could someone who wasn't stubborn be the God of Contracts?

Character Voice - Mona: About the Novel

"Damn it! I can't beat Lin Qiu in prophecy, and I can't even beat him in novels! And in a fight... it seems I can't beat him either, damn it!"

Chapter 337 Yaoyao

Everyone was looking at Wendy, while Zhongli just smiled and didn't say anything. It seems that his personality has become much more 'carefree' since he retired.

That's good. The fact that things can relax means nothing major has happened, which is for the best.

Back to the story, the traveler had already collected the "sprouting bamboo shoots," but before he could return to Liyue Harbor, he heard someone calling for help not far away.

The kind-hearted traveler rushed over and saw that someone appeared to be drowning.

The traveler doesn't need to rescue the person, because someone has already rescued them.

It was a petite figure. Compared to the drowning adult, it was hard to imagine whether that small figure had the strength to drag him to the shore.

After all, a drowning person isn't a demon, and Qiqi can carry them back.

Surprisingly, the little girl, who was only a few centimeters taller than Conan, actually rescued the drowning adult and brought him back to shore, and it seemed effortless.

The readers weren't surprised. They'd been reading prophecy books for so long, what new and strange things hadn't they seen? It was just that the children were a bit stronger.

The kid next door can make bombs, and the one over there is a ninja.

What good is strength? In this world, connections matter. Who are you anyway?

The little girl gently comforted her, "...Can you see anything? Did you choke on water?"

The little girl's tone of voice didn't sound like that of a child at all; it sounded more like that of an elder.

The rescued person breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked the traveler and the little girl.

Although the traveler didn't have time to go into the sea to help, at least she had the intention, so it's always good to express our gratitude together.

The little girl introduced herself: "Hello, sisters and uncles. My name is Yao Yao. Yao Yao is very polite."

An illustration was posted, which was Yao Yao's character portrait, allowing everyone to see what this little girl looks like.

She is a little girl who looks no more than seven or eight years old, but she speaks so logically and politely, which is truly rare.

Qin's eyes held a hint of emotion. Why are other people's children so well-behaved, when they are all just children?

Looking at my own kids, Klee and Yoomiya seemed to be getting along very well, and I wondered what they were discussing. Something felt off.

Yao Yao was also there, covering the sleeping Zao You with a blanket and even patting and coaxing her, which was the opposite of the noisy Ke Li next to her.

All I can say is, Klee, please be quiet and don't disturb the students who are sleeping!

However, Qin only sighed and didn't feel any envy.

Although Klee is very naughty, she loves Klee from the bottom of her heart. She can't possibly envy other people's children for being sensible and wish that Klee could be like that too.

In Qin's eyes, Keli was a bit mischievous and would cause her a lot of trouble, but her liveliness and cuteness, like a little sun, dispelled Qin's "class smell".

The person who was rescued in the story is named Dvorak. He is also very grateful to Yao Yao for dispelling the 'dead smell' on him, as he was almost stinking in the sea.

Dvorak told the travelers and others that he was from Fontainebleau and was a musician there.

He was so engrossed in admiring the scenery that he accidentally took the wrong path and fell into the water.

Yao Yao gently comforted him, "It's okay, Uncle Dvorak."

Then, adding to the sympathy, "The splashing water from the waterfall will make the stone path slippery, so you definitely need to slow down."

[The last piece of advice was, "If you encounter unfamiliar surroundings in the future, try not to think about things while walking."]
