Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Chapter 263 Xiao Palace’s Plan

Linghua covered her mouth lightly and replied with a smile, "Palace Chief Yae has a deep connection with the fox clan. She herself has fox blood, is the chief priest of Narujin Taisha Shrine, and is also a follower of the god Inazuma. The little foxes of Inazuma now should be considered her disciples."

"Wow, I see!" Shui Li exclaimed, her eyes full of admiration. "No wonder she gets along so well with the fox demons and loves playing tricks on people."

"Not only that," Xin Yang continued, "Yae Shenzi, with her understanding of foxes' habits, has also gained considerable experience in running Yaetang. She's always able to accurately grasp public preferences and has published many popular light novels, many of which are based on foxes. For example, 'Fox Fairy Strange Stories' and 'Spirit Fox Dream Journey', but the most famous one has to be 'Please, My Fox Fairy Palace Manager'."

Xiao Gong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes! Those novels are really interesting. Every time I pass by Yae-do, I can't help but go in and pick up a few. And Lord Yae-gong also holds some novel activities from time to time, which attracts a lot of people."

Nana Kano also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Yaedo has indeed played an important role in the dissemination of Inazuma culture. Through those interesting stories, more people have learned about Inazuma's fox culture and the historical background behind it."

Xianyun seemed to be lost in thought and said, "It seems that this Yaejinko holds a very important position in Inazuma. He is not only a guardian deity, but also a disseminator of culture. I must get to know him better next time we meet."

Linghua nodded slightly. "That's right. Although Lady Yae-no-miya appears to be carefree and relaxed, she always protects Inazuma in her own unique way when the moment comes."

Everyone was immersed in the discussion about the Eightfold Divine Child. Linghua tilted her head slightly, her gaze landing on Xiao Gong. She asked softly, "Xiao Gong, by the way, do you have any special plans for the future?"

Xiao Gong thought for a moment and said, "Emmm... If it's something particularly important, the General Affairs Department will arrange for me to exchange experiences with Liyue's major pyrotechnicians in a few days. Other than that, I should have free time."

"So what do you think?" Linghua continued to ask.

"As you know, my main purpose for coming this time is to prepare a grand fireworks show with the Liyue masters during the Lantern Festival. So I want to use my free time to learn more about Liyue's traditions, see its beautiful scenery, and so on, to get some inspiration for the Lantern Festival fireworks."

Xiao Gong continued enthusiastically, "I can't just rely on the old ideas in my head. I want the fireworks for this Lantern Festival to have both the passionate romance of Inazuma and the unique charm of Liyue."

Shuili's face was full of longing. She held Xiaogong's hand and shook it continuously: "Sister Xiaogong, take me with you when you go. I can be your tour guide."

Xin Yang flicked Shui Li's head from behind. "When will it be your turn as a Mondstadt person to be someone else's tour guide in Liyue? Don't get yourself lost if you do."

Shuili covered her head and muttered aggrievedly, "Why can't people from Mond be tour guides in Liyue? I know a lot of fun places, like Wuwangpo. The mysterious atmosphere there is perfect for finding inspiration."

Xiao Gong narrowed her eyes in a smile and patted Shui Li's head. "Alright, alright, Shui Li is so enthusiastic, so of course I'm happy to take you along. If we really go to Wuwangpo, you have to follow me closely. I heard there are strange noises there at night."

"Strange sound? Will it be scary?" Shuili was a little timid.

"Hahaha!" Everyone in the room laughed at Shuili's reaction: "Xiaoli, how can you be a tour guide if you're so timid?"

Shui Li's cheeks flushed slightly as she stubbornly said, "I'm not a coward! I was just startled. Those noises at Wuwangpo must be natural phenomena. There's nothing to be afraid of. Sister Xiaogong, let's go there during the day. It's clearer during the day and more suitable for gathering inspiration."

Xianyun interrupted, "There's no daytime in Wuwangpo. There's only night, and countless will-o'-the-wisp fires. There might even be man-eating monsters."

"Ah! I won't go!" Shuili buried her head in Xiaogong's clothes.

Xiao Gong smiled and comforted her: "Aunt Xianyun is teasing you. The alternation of day and night remains the same everywhere, and there won't be any man-eating monsters there."

Xianyun smiled and waved his hand, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. However, Wuwangpo is indeed a bit strange. There is only darkness there. If you want to go out into the wild to collect inspiration, it's best not to go there."

Xin Yang took over the conversation, "Master is right. There are many other great places to visit in Xiao Palace Liyue, such as Qingyun Peak, Jueyunjian, and the aforementioned Hulao Mountain. If you're lucky, you might even run into some immortals."

Xiao Gong's eyes lit up. "Immortal! Can we really meet the immortals of Liyue? According to Liyue legends, immortals are extremely powerful and full of justice. I really want to see them with my own eyes."

Xianyun coughed lightly and said, "It's actually not difficult to meet an immortal. It's just that the immortals in the places Xinyang mentioned just now are mostly eccentric and unwilling to interact with humans. I know a place where you can definitely meet an immortal. And that immortal is very easy to get along with. If you chat with her for a few minutes, you will definitely get a lot of inspiration from her."

Xiao Gong couldn't wait to ask, "Where is it?"

"Ouzou Mountain."
