After the Tsaritsa issued her orders to Scaramouche, sending him ahead to Liyue to investigate the situation, she also began to arrange a few matters.
Once these matters were settled, she would personally travel to Wangshu Inn in Liyue to stop that absurd and terrifying storytelling.
At the same time!
In Liyue, thousands of miles away, inside Wangshu Inn.
Ling Mo sat on the stage with his eyes closed, resting and waiting for the system reward notification.
During this waiting period, Ling Mo did not idle. Instead, he continuously recalled the contents of the next life in his mind, preparing for the upcoming storytelling.
At this moment!
The murmuring from the audience below had not stopped.
Some were discussing Ganyu, while others were talking about Skybracer and Rex Lapis.
Some even made predictions!
It would not be long before Lady Ganyu, upon hearing about the storytelling, would definitely come to the inn to listen.
In a corner of the inn.
Arataki Itto, as loud as ever, said, "What is everyone saying about Ganyu? Why isn't she here yet? The great Arataki Itto is getting anxious!"
Paimon: "What does it matter to you if she comes or not? Why are you anxious?"
Arataki Itto: "I am the leader of the kids, and she is a kid, so of course it matters!"
Paimon: "I already told you, Ganyu is not a kid!"
Arataki Itto: "She is a kid!"
Paimon put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Not a kid!"
Arataki Itto: "Is a kid!"
Hearing the two argue, Kuki Shinobu, Keqing, Hu Tao, Xiangling, and the others nearby were completely speechless.
Just as they were arguing, a graceful young girl with two red qilin horns on her head appeared at the entrance of the inn.
The moment they saw the girl, Xiangling couldn't help but exclaim, "Stop arguing, stop arguing, Ganyu is here!"
Keqing hurriedly turned her head: "???"
Hu Tao showed an expression of 'I knew it': "Hehe, she is a bit late and missed the story of the sixteenth life, but we can tell it to her!"
Hearing the name Ganyu, a scene of a chubby little qilin tumbling down the mountain instantly popped into Arataki Itto's mind.
He couldn't help but turn his head with a loud laugh: "Let the great Arataki Itto see why she is so amazing, actually being able to choke a god to death!"
In almost an instant, not only Keqing, Hu Tao, and the others in the corner, but even the ordinary audience in the inn instantly turned their heads, seeing Ganyu standing at the entrance of Wangshu Inn, looking somewhat at a loss.
For a moment!
The inn erupted!
"It's Lady Ganyu, Lady Ganyu has finally come to listen to the storytelling!"
"I knew it, once Lady Ganyu heard about the storytelling, she would definitely come to listen immediately!"
"Lady Ganyu, you are finally here!"
"This image... the difference from the content in the storytelling is just too big, isn't it?"
"Lady Ganyu, please teach us how you successfully lost weight!"
The audience chattered all at once, asking Ganyu all sorts of questions. A few slightly chubby audience members even asked for weight loss advice.
At this moment!
At the entrance of the inn!
Seeing hundreds of eyes staring at her simultaneously and chattering, Ganyu felt incredibly shy in her heart. She even wanted to immediately find a crack to squeeze into.
But thinking of Skybracer, Ganyu still gathered her courage and slowly spoke:
"Ex... excuse me!"
"Are you... are you telling the story of Lord Skybracer here?"
Being stared at by hundreds of eyes at once, Ganyu was very shy.
Her voice was very small!
But this voice, infused with elemental power, accurately reached the ears of every audience member.
Hearing this, the audience members spoke up one after another: "That's right, we are indeed telling the story of Lord Skybracer here. Not only that, we also told the story of Lady Ganyu!"
"That tumbling appearance was just too cute!"
"How dare you, do not show disrespect to Lady Ganyu, restrain yourselves in front of her!"
"That's right, Lady Ganyu, please forgive that person's recklessness just now!"
"We just wanted to ask if those tumbling stories are actually true!"
Hearing the audience's questions, Ganyu was at a loss, not knowing how to answer, and froze on the spot for a moment.
In one of the corners of the inn, Keqing, Xiangling, Hu Tao, and the others saw this scene and immediately understood Ganyu's predicament.
Xiangling hurriedly said, "Ganyu is too shy, she can't handle this kind of situation at all!"
Paimon: "Yeah, let's go help her!"
Seeing Ganyu's graceful figure, Arataki Itto was full of doubt: "She is Ganyu? Shouldn't she be round? Did the great Arataki Itto see wrong?"
Keqing said solemnly, "You guys wait here, I will go call her over!"
Hu Tao: "Hehe, then we will trouble you, Keqing!"
The next moment!
Under the gaze of everyone, Keqing stood up without hesitation and walked toward the entrance of Wangshu Inn.
She walked up to Ganyu, who was keeping her head down, at a loss, and looking like a child who had made a mistake.
She gently patted Ganyu's shoulder: "Since you are here, come sit over here. There are extra seats!"
Hearing Keqing's voice, Ganyu, as if seeing a lifeline, hurriedly raised her head: "Thank you... Keqing!"
Immediately!
Under the gaze of all the audience, Ganyu, like a shy child, followed Keqing to the corner of the inn, sitting beside her.
Seeing Ganyu appear, Lumine smiled slightly: "Ganyu, we meet again!"
Paimon: "Yeah!"
Seeing the Traveler Lumine, a faint smile immediately appeared on Ganyu's face: "It's the Traveler. Didn't you go to Inazuma? How did you come back so quickly?"
Lumine said seriously: "It was to look for the Raiden Shogun... and to listen to the storytelling along the way!"
Paimon: "Yeah, yeah, just now, we even heard Ganyu's story! Ganyu was just too cute when she was little!"
Ganyu: "..."
Upon hearing about her childhood, Ganyu wanted to flee immediately.
But remembering Lord Skybracer, Ganyu still gathered her courage and said: "Please tell Ganyu about Lord Skybracer!"
Although Ganyu had experienced that war back then, when Skybracer fought the four gods, Ganyu was not by his side; she had gone to seek reinforcements.
Who would have thought that just as she returned, Lord Skybracer had already died!
Looking at the pitiful and tearful Ganyu, Keqing, Hu Tao, Paimon, and the others around her sighed one after another.
More than two thousand years had passed, yet Ganyu still had not forgotten the events of her childhood.
And so!
Xiangling began to recount how Skybracer fought four gods alone as an adeptus, telling the entire story of how he fought through severe injuries, exhausted his very last ounce of life force, and managed to slay all four gods.
