That's right, Xing came here to complete this light cone.

This light cone had previously absorbed someone's memories, transforming from a blank light cone into an incomplete one.

From the very beginning, Xing had an ominous feeling that she was about to be carried away by this cone of light.

Just yesterday, while having tea and listening to music with an old man, the light cone suddenly reacted on its own after the old man picked up a Rubik's Cube and played with it for a while, and began to provide guidance to the stars.

obviously……

This is a side quest from [Memory].

Originally, I was too lazy to make the star, but since the light cone was my own, and I had nothing better to do in Liyue, I decided to just follow the light cone and wander around.

It wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't explored; once I started, I discovered many treasure chests along the path of the light cone. Although most of them required solving puzzles, well...

As the saying goes, great effort can create miracles!

Deciphering the mystery is nothing compared to just prying the treasure chest open...

Well, the person who put down the treasure chest is probably about to cry right now, right?

Guided by the cone of light, Xing found himself on Guili Plain, and... arrived at a "ruins".

This place was once called Guili Village, one of the settlements of the people of Liyue before the founding of Liyue.

This is what the star was told from the memory within the light cone.

The memories within this cone of light are scattered and hazy, but fortunately, due to the unique nature of the world of Teyvat, even hazy and vague memories can guide you.

Xing wasn't the only one on the ruins of what was once Guiliji, but without exception, everyone else screamed in terror upon seeing him and fled in a panic, leaving behind nothing.

Xing was a little confused until... she found this note among the packages those people had left behind.

"The Treasure Hunter's Handbook, Edition 41"

Rule #1: If you see a gray-haired, golden-eyed woman in Liyue, don't even think about it, just run! She's far more dangerous than the demons in the graveyards or the immortals in the forest!

Second rule: If you see a small white flying creature with a crown on its head asking you for something, give it all to her! Then run for your life! Where that little white creature appears, the gray-haired demon will definitely appear!

Article 3: If any little white creature sets its sights on your food, be prepared for wilderness survival, because it will devour all your rations!

"..."

"Tsk, I didn't do anything, did I? Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

Looking at the "Strange Tales of Rules" in her hand, Xing's little face immediately fell in dissatisfaction.

Why did you make her look like a ghost?

She's so kind!

"Huh? What is that..."

Paimon curiously peeked out, wanting to see the note in Xing's hand.

"Paimon, don't look! It's a bad review!"

Xing decisively burned the note to ashes with [Preservation Fire].

Then, to Paimon's puzzled look, Xing summoned the cone of light again.

We walked deeper into Guili Village.

There should be a fragment there that shares the same origin as this memory. Perhaps if we can gather all the fragments together, this blank cone of light will become a useful cone of light.

Sigh... Does this count as going to find a bottle of vinegar just for a dumpling?

Following the directions, Xing soon arrived at a relatively open area, and then...

The light cone in its hand seemed to sense the location of the [memory] and began to emit illusory light. At the same time, the location of the star also began to flicker with spots of memory. The memories that were of the same origin as the light cone in its hand seemed to have heard a call and poured into the light cone, filling a quarter of the empty space inside.

Next, only half of the light cone remains to be completed.

Chapter 151 We're all family! Just a token gesture is enough!

Hargentus, the Demon God of the Mortal Realm, is an adorable and creative demon god who once loved humans in the land of Liyue.

Guiliji was the human settlement she created.

At that time, the war between the demons and gods had not yet begun, and the mortal world had not yet been divided into seven ruling powers; the seven kingdoms were merely seven regions.

One day, a street urchin came to Guili Town and made a pact with Hagentus to jointly protect the humans on this land.

Since then, the demon god known as "Return to the End" has often accompanied a street urchin, using the mortal lock as a witness to their pact, as they jointly explore the future development of humanity...

This is the content of the quarter of the memory that was filled in within the light cone.

After that memory was finally released and allowed to be peered into by Xing, Xing finally understood that... this memory was actually from one of Zhongli Laodeng's friends!

So good...

After she finishes repairing the light cone, she will hand it over to the Black Tower and have it search the World Tree of this world to see if it can bring out the demon god named Gui Zhong, and then bring him to Zhong Li's side...

Then make this old man respectfully address him as "Emperor"!

Mmm! Just thinking about it is awesome!

So next...

Xing continued to channel the power of exploration into the light cone in her hand, allowing the memory to actively search for its missing parts. Next… the direction the memory pointed to was…

Between the clouds.

"hiss……"

At this moment, Xianyun, who had already transformed into human form and was sitting idly sipping tea on Mount Aozang, suddenly gasped for some reason.

"Hmm? What happened to you? Did you catch a cold after your trip to Liyue Harbor?"

Looking at the person who was drinking tea and suddenly gasped as if their hair had been bristled, Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Tsk, you old codger, you don't even think before you speak. You, me, and she are all immortals, how could mortal diseases possibly get close to us? In my opinion, there's something wrong with this tea."

Risui raised the teacup in her hand with a solemn expression, her eyes fixed on the tea leaves floating in the tea...

"Hmm... there's definitely something wrong with this tea. How come the tea leaves of such good tea are floating on the surface of the tea soup?"

"This was given to me by the Emperor."

Having calmed himself down, Xianyun spoke calmly to Lishui, whose eyes were practically crossed from staring at the tea leaves.

"Hiss! Fine tea! This is how tea leaves should be! The essence of good tea lies in the way they float on the surface of the tea soup. I knew those tea-drinking guys didn't understand tea. Sigh... This tea brought by the Emperor... I must savor it properly."

"Slurp... Mmm! Good tea! The aroma lingers on the lips and teeth!"

"..."

Seeing the somewhat exaggerated expression and movements of a certain immortal, Xiaoyue subconsciously leaned towards Xianyun, only to be kicked back.

"Male and female immortals must keep their distance, understand?"

Xianyun rolled her eyes at Xiaoyue, who showed absolutely no manners.

"Give me a break! I think you've been reading too many novels and stories from Liyue! Don't think I don't know, you even brought back a bunch of novels when you came back from Liyue Harbor!"

This kick completely destroyed any semblance of courtesy shown to the immortal who was shaving the moon, and then...

Gazing at the silent, unassuming gaze of the clouds, the initial surge of power gradually faded...

"Um... cough cough, actually, this immortal is also quite interested in those mortal novels, um... we could exchange ideas, exchange ideas..."

"Alright... I see you two both have some special skills."

Upon hearing this, Xianyun fell silent once again.

These two old guys, ever since their trip to Liyue Harbor, have secretly gone back countless times in human form. They claim it's to "get closer to humans," but in reality, they've probably been blinded by that dazzling world...

"Hiss... Fine tea, excellent tea!"

Meanwhile, Lishui was still marveling at the fragrance of the tea.

"Alas, just now, for some reason, I seemed to sense a faint aura. The aura was extremely familiar, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it..."

Xianyun frowned slightly, sighed, and still couldn't figure it out.

"Hmm... perhaps your two disciples miss you?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue guessed.

"Hmm? I just met with Gan Yu not long ago, and Shen He hasn't left me yet, so how can you say I miss him?"

Xianyun shook his head and decisively rejected the idea.

"That's strange. Things that can trigger our empathy are rare in this world. If it were the Emperor's doing, there would be no need for such a roundabout way..."

Li Shui put down his teacup, picked up the teapot again to add water, and was also somewhat puzzled.

"Perhaps it's because she's getting old and is experiencing menopause?"

Xing, holding a cup of tea in her hands, seamlessly joined the conversation.

"Nonsense! How could I, an immortal, suffer from the heart ailment of a mortal woman? Wait a minute..."

Upon hearing the words "menopause," Xianyun immediately became irritable, and then...

When that gaze fell upon a star core spirit that had suddenly appeared there, the person froze on the spot.

"!!!"x2

The next moment, realizing something was wrong, both Tsuki and Risui turned their gazes to Hoshi, who had seamlessly joined the gathering. The shock in their eyes was no less than when the Emperor announced his resignation as the God of Rock.

"Um...so it's Galaxy Baseball Man, young friend. May I ask what brings you to Mt. Ozo?"

Realizing what was happening instantly, Xianyun quickly gave the two slow-witted guys a wink, and then asked the living father in front of her in a low voice.

"Ah! Yes, yes, why didn't you inform us of your upcoming visit? We could have prepared to welcome you!"

Seeing this, Risui quickly put down her teacup, picked up the teapot, and filled the teacup in Hoshi's hand with hot water.

"Um... thank you, everyone. Don't be shy, we're all family!"

Xing waved his hand dismissively, adopting a hostly demeanor, and gestured for the three somewhat flustered immortals to sit down.

"My family?"

Upon hearing these three words, the three of them were taken aback, and then they all saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

"I knew she was definitely connected to the Emperor! Sigh... Now that she's calling us family, it looks like we elders will have to spend some money..."
