Genshin, No sad stories

From Wangshu Inn, they could see the scenery of Yaoguang Shoal in the distance. 

When the sun set, the view from here was simply breathtaking. 

By now, Lumine was starting to understand why Jiang Chen was so eager to buy land and build a house here. 

Behind Yaoguang Shoal was Dragonspine, and in front was the sea. 

Dragonspine was perpetually covered in snow. 

"Living here, you can go skiing whenever you want, or go swimming whenever you want, right?" 

"A perfect vacation spot." 

"Decision made, let's buy it here!" 

Looking at the distant scenery, Lumine made up her mind on the spot. 

She fully supported Jiang Chen's idea. 

They would just buy the land here and build their house. 

Oh wait, no—buy the land and build it themselves. 

"Then let's go check it out tomorrow." 

"Then we'll pick a spot and buy the land." 

"But we'll have to go to Liyue Harbor to handle the paperwork." 

"There's a small village near Yaoguang Shoal." 

"But it seems like not many people live there now." 

"Once the elderly pass away, the village will probably disappear completely." 

Now, only a few elderly residents remained. 

To be honest, Jiang Chen was quite baffled by Liyue's development model. 

Although there were indeed many remnants of ancient gods in Liyue, 

There were still plenty of places where people could live. 

Liyue Harbor was already reaching its saturation point. 

If things continued like this, it would eventually become overcrowded. 

By then, expanding outward would be difficult. 

Not to mention, Zhongli would retire by then. 

Expanding outward would definitely be challenging. 

Jiang Chen shook his head. 

He didn't dwell on this matter too much. 

After all, he couldn't interfere with Liyue's decisions. 

Zhongli already knew he had arrived in Liyue. 

Once he reached Liyue Harbor, Zhongli would definitely "coincidentally" run into him. 

They could chat then. 

"But we're outsiders. Will there be any issues with buying land there?" 

Lumine was worried about this. 

They were essentially undocumented. 

Although they had proof from Mondstadt, 

Wouldn't it still be difficult to buy land in another nation? 

"Do you think this is another world?" 

"Where you need visas to go to other countries? And proof to buy land?" 

"Mondstadt and Liyue don't require that." 

Although such documents existed, in reality, no one really checked. 

Of course, if you had them prepared, that would be even better. 

After all, it would make things easier if someone decided to inspect you. 

"That seems to be the case." 

Hearing this, Lumine also found it reasonable. 

Teyvat was different. 

"Jiang Chen, when you build the house, can you save a room for me?" 

"I want to stay there with you." 

Paimon had been quietly listening to Jiang Chen and Lumine's conversation. 

She had already started imagining. 

If the house was built, wouldn't there be plenty of seafood to eat since it was near the sea? 

That sounded amazing. 

"Of course, no problem." 

"You're always welcome to come over." 

After all, Jiang Chen was determined to settle down in Yaoguang Shoal. 

"Hehe~!" 

"Thank you, Jiang Chen." 

"You're such a good person!!" 

Jiang Chen had heard this nickname from Paimon several times now. 

In Paimon's mind, Jiang Chen was a good person. 

After all, ever since they met, Jiang Chen had always treated her well. 

Now, Paimon was happily imagining the future. 

Jiang Chen, meanwhile, was also looking toward Yaoguang Shoal, deep in thought. 

Speaking of which, wasn't Yaoguang Shoal also Ningguang's hometown? 

Recalling Ningguang's background, Jiang Chen began reminiscing about the information he had learned while playing the game. 

Ningguang's rise to wealth started from Yaoguang Shoal. 

Which meant that some of the villages there might be Ningguang's old home? 

Hmm, how interesting. 

If they asked Ningguang to develop this area in the future, she would probably be willing, right? 

After all, this was her hometown. 

They could discuss it once they reached Liyue Harbor. 

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Jiang Chen turned to Lumine and Paimon. 

"Let's go, let's eat." 

"After dinner, we'll take a good bath, then head to Yaoguang Shoal tomorrow before going to Liyue Harbor." 

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Lumine nodded. 

"Alright!" 

With that, she took the excited Paimon and headed outside. 

The moment food was mentioned, Paimon got excited. 

The three of them went to the restaurant to eat. 

Meanwhile, Verr Goldet had already relayed Jiang Chen's information to Liyue Harbor. 

Ningguang already knew about the Honorary Knight from Mondstadt. 

She even knew that Lumine was searching for her brother. 

Moreover, she had also learned that the ones who resolved the dragon crisis were this group. 

To be precise, it was mainly Jiang Chen. 

Before Jiang Chen arrived in Liyue, she had already received this information through special channels. 

Now, seeing the intelligence Verr Goldet had sent back, she couldn't help but smile. 

"Someone Jean wants to recruit, huh?" 

"How interesting." 

And he was an incredibly powerful individual at that. 

It wasn't just Jean who wanted to recruit him. 

She did too. 

Who could resist having a powerful fighter join their ranks? 

Ningguang naturally wanted him as well. She had the adepti above her. 

Having a powerful fighter stationed in Liyue Harbor would be a tremendous boon for Liyue. 

From the intelligence, it seemed Jiang Chen and the others were coming to Liyue. 

Then she would meet him when the time came. 

... 

Jiang Chen had already guessed that his information had reached Ningguang. 

But he didn't pay it much mind. 

By now, the three of them had started eating. 

At the dining table, Lumine noticed the people drinking at the next table and couldn't help but ask Jiang Chen: 

"How do you think Venti is doing now?" 

They had been away from Mondstadt for a while now. 

But Jiang Chen had left quite a bit of wine in Venti's room. 

One bottle could keep him drunk for a day or two. 

Had Venti been taken out by Jiang Chen like this? 

She only thought of the drunkard when she saw the wine. 

She wondered how he was doing now. 

Hearing Lumine's question, Jiang Chen's expression turned strange. 

"Probably... sober by now?" 

"He's probably finished all the wine I left." 

Diona's specially brewed wine was highly effective. 

Even someone like Venti, who could hold his liquor, was probably sober by now. 

"I hope he didn't die of alcohol poisoning." 

"If that really happened, we'd be in deep trouble." 

After all, it would be their fault. 

"He's not that easy to kill." 

"If he really died," 

"I'd have to laugh at him hard." 

"Among the original Seven, only he and Liyue's Geo Archon remain." 

"The others either died in battle or perished due to other reasons." 

"But Venti died from drinking?" 

"Good grief, wouldn't I have to summon him as a Heroic Spirit and laugh at him mercilessly?" 

As he said this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh. 

If that really happened, Jiang Chen would definitely do it. 

Death wasn't an escape. 

If Venti really died from drinking, Jiang Chen would drag Zhongli and Ei over, summon Venti, and laugh at him relentlessly. 

How utterly embarrassing. 

Hearing Jiang Chen's thoughts, Lumine also found it hilarious.
