"Only one sip."

Zhongli shook his head and placed the jar on the other side out of the reach of Hu Tao.

Hu Tao grabbed him by the sleeve and looked at him with longing written in his eyes.

The bell is like a rock, unmoved.

Hu Tao turned his head to look at Jiang Bai, who spread his hands and signaled that he could not do anything.

As far as the hall master has the amount of wine, a sip is enough, otherwise......

Jiang Bai shrank and covered his chest without a trace.

Terrible.

Hu Tao looked at the last person, and Wendy quickly picked up her wine glass and hid it.

"Minors can't drink!"

It's just such a jar, he has to find a way to drink a little more, but he can't divide it anymore.

Hu Tao puffed out his cheeks, feeling like he was being targeted.

"If you don't drink, don't drink ......"

She turned her grief and anger into appetite and began to compete with the fairy jumping over the wall.

Zhongli slowly tasted the thousand-year-old wine in this cup, and time seemed to return to the old days.

"It's a pity that the friends who used to drink together are now the only two of us."

"It's true, but there are also advantages to fewer people, so you can have a good time."

Wendy clinked glasses with him, drank the wine from the glass, and began to pour a glass of wine.

Zhongli drinks, but he is not a good wine, which means that he can drink more than half of this jar of wine alone!

Flattered~

Zhongli didn't stop it, smiling as he watched his old friend cup after cup.

Jiang Bai didn't bother the two old friends to catch up, he took Hu Tao to the side and started to barbecue.

Fresh pork belly is sizzling with oil, and the smell of charcoal fire enhances the flavor of the food.

Hu Tao picked up a pork belly skewer, blew on the hot air, and put it in his mouth.

The burnt flavor bursts out on the tip of the tongue, and the tender ingredients are marinated just right, and the feedback is delicious.

"That's good!"

"yes, I think it's good, too."

It is worthy of the forest pork he bought in Qingquan Town early in the morning, with a strong taste and fragrant lips and teeth.

Jiang Bai served the baked plate to the table and served them as a small dish, and then roasted it while eating.

"Ahh

Hu Tao picked up a skewer and handed it to his lips.

This is a pure meat skewer, and the skewers are solid.

"Taste what I baked."

Jiang Bai opened his mouth and took a bite, "The heat is just right, not bad." ”

Wisps of green smoke from the oven drifted into the air, and the pure full moon shone on the earth below.

It is the last day of the year and the beginning of a new year.

The time unconsciously came to half past eleven, and there was a silent figure on the roof.

He had just returned from the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, and the situation was still calm over there.

He looked at the people in the courtyard below, who were watching the New Year, ignorant of the crisis, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Wendy and Zhongli both noticed his arrival, and Wendy shook the last bit of wine left in the jar, and a breeze sent the jar over.

After taking the wine jar, Xiao was stunned, but saw the drunken Fengshen Lord below raise a glass to him.

Zhongli looked at him with a smile and shook the wine glass in his hand as well.

Xiao looked at the empty jar that was almost bottomed out, and tilted his head to pour the last bit of wine into his mouth.

The bright moon hung high, and the restless karma on his body seemed to have stopped.

He sat across the roof with an empty jar of wine, listening to the occasional sounds below.

Liyue has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, and the people here have proven that even if the Emperor of the Rock is no longer there, it doesn't mean that Liyue will be defeated by the crisis.

The last time the Vortex Demon God was in crisis, they dealt with it very well.

This time, the same will be true.

Thinking about it, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of Xiao's lips, and his heart completely settled down.

"It's almost 12 o'clock, get ready!"

In the empty courtyard, Jiang Bai pinched his watch, holding a stick of incense in his hand, ready to light this box of fireworks at 12 o'clock.

"Happy New Year!"

Happy New Year's sounds are accompanied by fireworks!

Along with this, fireworks are lit throughout Liyue Harbor.

Fireworks bloom in the air, and the fire trees and silver flowers are dazzling.

"Happy New Year."

Xiao heard himself say this, and disappeared into the roof.

Jiang Bai glanced back and continued to look up at the fireworks.

"Yo ho! New wishes for the new year! Make a wish, and it might work. ”

Hu Tao stood behind Jiang Bai, covering his ears, urging him to make a wish.

"Hall Master, have you made a wish?"

"Of course! But if you say it, it won't work. ”

Jiang Bai clasped his hands together and made a wish in his heart.

"Hopefully everything will be fine in the coming year."

He opened his eyes and looked at the bright fireworks in the sky and smiled.

Hu Tao stretched his head over curiously, "What did you wish?" ”

"Hall Master, if you say your wish, it won't work."

"Okay, okay, it's not early, go back to sleep."

Hu Tao wrapped his arms around his shoulders and pushed him forward, the two of them seemed to be playing some tacit game, one-two-one-one-two-one, with uniform steps.

Seeing the two of them gone, Wendy set her eyes on Zhongli.

"I wonder if Mr. Zhongli has a guest room to lend me a night?"

"I thought you'd go out to a tavern for a night of drinking."

"In Mondstadt, that's fine, but in Liyue, those taverns are afraid they're going to blast me out. Alas, this is also a problem that the face is too tender......"

“……”

"Good night, hall master."

"Good night, don't get up too late tomorrow, remember to go and see the launching ceremony of the Jade Pavilion."

"Huh? Has the Jade Pavilion been repaired? ”

Jiang Bai felt that he had missed a lot.

"Yes, when we came back, we heard that Ningguang was collecting floating stones, and now we have found them. Tomorrow, the Jade Pavilion will officially rise into the sky, and Ningguang will invite us to watch it, as well as a dinner party. ”

"Ningguang's dinner, you have to look forward to it."

……

Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

Unlike Liyue Harbor, which is celebrating the New Year, there are quite a few Millelith garrisons stationed here, and the man who leads them is Yuheng Xingkeqing.

On the eve of this Lantern Festival, the sea is not calm.

Although the demon god Osir, who appeared last year, has been sealed again, his family is ready to make a comeback.

Even if it is to avenge her husband Oselle, it is to vent his anger.

Even though she wasn't as powerful as Auxer, her sheer size was hard to match for Liyue Harbor, and she could easily set off waves of several feet.

The reason why Ningguang suddenly rushed to repair the Jade Pavilion was to deal with the crisis of the remnants of the whirlpool.

Keqing stared at the calm sea, and seemed to have seen the huge sea beast lurking below through the dark water.

After looking at it for a moment, she looked sideways in the direction of Liyue Harbor.

The fireworks in the harbor have not stopped, and the bright lights are filled with thousands of households in Liyue Harbor.

They are the guards on the front lines of Liyue Harbor, and they will not let the monsters set foot in Liyue Harbor no matter what.
