"They really are in a hurry. I wonder if they have enough Mora left to pay the bill." Jun Bai muttered to himself as he watched Lumine and Paimon walk away. "I should go to Fengdeng Lou and say hello."
With that, Jun Bai was about to walk out of the city. Unfurling his flaming wings directly in Liyue Harbor would be far too conspicuous.
Suddenly, Jun Bai's footsteps halted. His brows furrowed, then he let out a soft chuckle: "You've come?"
Crisp footsteps rang out among the crowd moving along the street. A pair of high heels appeared on the screen.
[Whoa, those legs, those shackles, those thigh straps that dig into the flesh. miHoYo, you really understand me.]
[Just from the leg shape, I already know this person is going to be my new wife.]
[I'm so envious of Jun Bai. When he was little he had a childhood friendship with Ganyu; when he became Marshal he had the beauty Bonanus as his subordinate; now while in disguise he even has a beauty throwing herself into his arms!]
[Previous commenter, your focus seems a bit off. Leaving everything else aside, can the fact that little Jun Bai almost stewed Ganyu really be called a childhood friendship?]
[If we have to force it, Jun Bai is actually more like Ganyu's adoptive father…]
"Marshal, this is the Glaze Lily you requested."
A black-haired big-sister type walked up to Jun Bai and presented a Glaze Lily to him with both hands.
"A bit unexpected that you would deliver it personally." Black-haired Jun Bai turned around, accepted the Glaze Lily, and said, "Impressive aura, Yun Shang."
The visitor was dressed in ink-colored attire with exquisite and luxurious decorations. She had a slender figure, estimated to be around 1.7 meters tall.
A section of snow-white calf was exposed beneath the hem of her skirt. Her waist was slim, while her upper body was full and prominent.
A neck ring rested on her long, elegant neck. Her facial features were delicate, her phoenix eyes carried a hint of heroic spirit, and her long black hair was pinned up with a hairpin into a slanted ponytail.
A Geo Vision hung quietly beside her ear.
Guili Assembly Ziwei Star Deputy — Ji Yunshang. (Original character)

"Under Marshal's praise, Yunshang still has a long way to go."
Yunshang respectfully saluted Jun Bai.
[This first-person perspective is really great. This outfit is so white—no, this neck ring is so deep—no, that's not it either.]
[No need to carefully check the stats. My fiery golden eyes have already seen it. This character named Yunshang has measurements at least on the same level as Lisa's, and her figure is probably even better than Lisa's! (like.jpg)]
[I am Miss Yunshang's dog!]
Jun Bai nodded in acknowledgment, then picked up the Glaze Lily and gently sniffed it at the tip of his nose: "Did you sing before picking the Glaze Lily, as per tradition?"
"Please rest assured, Marshal. This Glaze Lily was definitely harvested according to traditional methods."
Yunshang said solemnly.
The screen turned grayscale, entering a flashback perspective.
Yunshang knelt on one knee in front of the Glaze Lily, softly singing a Liyue folk song.
[There's even a rule for picking Glaze Lilies? I usually just grab and run.]
[Could it be that only Guili Assembly's harvesting requires it? Don't forget that the Glaze Lilies in Guili Assembly can be interacted with but not picked.]
[Miss Yunshang's singing is so beautiful!]
[Sniper, where are you? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Report the situation immediately!]
(People with pure hearts should understand what this sentence means. Those who don't understand should never find out.)
"With this, all preparations for the Rite of Descension are complete."
Jun Bai put away the Glaze Lily.
"And your Adeptus creation, Marshal." Yunshang took out the Scarlet Feather, which had returned to its circular mechanical form.
"I understand." Jun Bai accepted the Scarlet Feather, then looked at Yunshang who was still standing in place. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Marshal, my elder brother hopes to meet with you."
Yunshang's expression was respectful.
"Is it Xuanjian?" Jun Bai asked. "So that's why you specifically came to deliver the Glaze Lily and Scarlet Feather?"
"Uh, that was actually just on the way." Yunshang answered honestly. "My purpose in coming to Liyue Harbor this time is at my brother's request, to discuss important matters with Tianquan Ningguang."
"You really haven't changed. When it's time to tell the truth, you really say whatever comes to mind." Jun Bai said helplessly. "I understand. When I return to the Guili Assembly later, I will go see him."
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going first."
With that, Jun Bai disappeared at the end of the street.
Yunshang stood in place, arms crossed over her chest. Her full bosom underwent an astonishing deformation.
[As expected of someone from the Guili Assembly. She's exactly as honest as the Marshal.]
[Xuanjian? Feels like another new character. But even if he's not new, he's still my big brother-in-law.]
[Oh! This arms-crossed pose is absolutely killer! Modeling team, come out and eat chicken legs. (drooling.jpg)]
[Isn't Yunshang supposed to go find Ningguang? Then hurry up and move! I'm still waiting to directly compare which of my two wives looks better!]
While the viewers were showing their true nature in the livestream chat.
A familiar sound of clapping rang out.
"I've long heard from Pantalone (Regrator) that this generation's [Ziwei] and his deputy both have a hundred minds."
"That guy also has rare moments when he tells the truth."
Tartaglia walked to Yunshang's side and reached out to put his arm around her shoulder.
Yunshang subtly avoided Tartaglia's hand: "Mr. Tartaglia, please show some self-respect."
Seeing the other party avoid his hand so easily, a trace of heat flashed in Tartaglia's eyes: "I didn't expect Miss Yunshang to have such skills. Liyue truly hides dragons and crouches tigers."
"Mr. Tartaglia, if you really want to find someone to spar with, I can call the Marshal back for you."
"Miss Yunshang is truly courageous. You were just using lies to conceal the truth, yet now you want to rely on that Sky Phoenix Marshal whom you deceived." Tartaglia laughed.
[? This twist came too suddenly. Yunshang is actually a bad woman like Signora?]
[Although the bad-woman archetype is very appealing, this woman actually dares to deceive my godfather? She has already earned a death sentence! Bring her to my room. I want to punish her properly.]
[Previous commenter, your Yan Kingdom map is too short.]
"Mr. Tartaglia, if you continue to speak so rudely, I will have to seriously reconsider whether to continue the transaction with the Fatui." Yunshang frowned.
"Sorry, sorry. I'm not very good with words." Tartaglia apologized.
"So, have the Fatui come to a decision?"
Just as Tartaglia was about to speak, a man wearing a large cloak and smiling walked over from the front and said: "On behalf of the Fatui, I agree to Miss Yunshang's request."
"5% of trade profits in exchange for the Geo Archon's Gnosis."
"This is simply a guaranteed profitable business."
Yunshang looked toward the newcomer: "[Regrator], a single Gnosis actually requires three Fatui Harbingers to personally come to Liyue. We Liyue really have a lot of face."
Regrator maintained his smile: "Even though Rex Lapis has passed away, as long as that Sky Phoenix Marshal is still here, everyone must give Liyue some face."
"Compared to that, Miss Yunshang, the transaction has been completed. Then according to the contract between you and [Tartaglia]…"
Yunshang fell silent, then said: "According to the intelligence my brother and I obtained, not long ago the Liyue Qixing ordered the Millelith to blockade the [Golden House]."
"That is all. You two can handle it as you see fit."
