"So Hu Tao, are you ready?"
"We're about to go on stage and perform now."
Yun Jin looked at Hu Tao in front of her and asked.
"I'm ready."
"I can set off at any time."
Hu Tao smiled and nodded upon hearing this.
"However, I still have some things to say to the two guest consultant."
Hu Tao touched her chin, then spoke.
"Qiu Bai, Zhongli."
"Wait for this director to return later, and I'll personally bring you two on stage."
Hu Tao looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her, smiling as she spoke.
"I want to present the entire Liyue Harbor."
"With a big, big surprise."
Hu Tao stepped forward and patted Qiu Bai and Zhongli shoulders, saying with a satisfied expression.
"Alright, Director Hu."
Zhongli nodded upon hearing this.
"No problem."
Qiu Bai also nodded.
"Good then, let's set off."
"Come on, Iridescent Tour, activate!"
Hu Tao pulled Xinyan and ran toward the outside of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Seeing this, Yun Jin also followed.
"Then we'll go first too, Qiu Bai, Zhongli."
"I'm really looking forward to your entrance."
Paimon looked at the divinely dressed Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her, smiling and waving her hand.
Then Lumine and Paimon also ran out of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"Sigh..."
Zhongli looked at the backs of several people rushing out the door and sighed.
"Alright, Morax."
"Since we've already agreed, we might as well perform to the end."
Qiu Bai looked at the sighing Zhongli and said with a light chuckle.
"Hehe..."
"You certainly take it in stride, but what you say makes sense."
Zhongli looked at Qiu Bai beside him and chuckled softly.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Seeing several people leave, Azhdaha finally burst into laughter.
"Morcius and Morax."
"Your expressions just now almost made me laugh out loud."
Azhdaha looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of him, laughing heartily.
"Is it that funny?"
Qiu Yue looked at Azhdaha who had been laughing on the side, asking somewhat puzzled.
"You don't understand, Qiu Yue."
"This isn't a matter of whether it's funny or not."
Azhdaha looked at the somewhat adorably confused Qiu Yue, laughing and waving his hand.
"Brother, are you going to perform on stage later?"
"What Director Hu said has piqued my interest."
Qiu Yue walked up to Qiu Bai and asked softly.
"Hehe..."
"What else can we do? You and I both know Director Hu personality."
Qiu Bai looked at his sister in front of him and said with a wry smile.
"Perfect, I made plans to play with those five Yakshas."
"After watching brother performance, I'll go play with them."
Qiu Yue looked at Qiu Bai in front of her with beautiful eyes, smiling and nodding.
"That's good too... I just didn't expect."
"Your relationship with those five Yakshas to be quite good."
Qiu Bai crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Qiu Yue in front of him, nodding as he spoke.
"What about Azhdaha?"
"You're not still planning to tinker with your stones, are you?"
Qiu Bai looked at Azhdaha in front of him, asking somewhat puzzled.
"Not really."
"I plan to find those old friends and catch up."
Azhdaha looked at Qiu Bai in front of him upon hearing this, smiling as he spoke.
"Old friends..."
Qiu Bai touched his chin, murmuring somewhat puzzled.
"Those adepti."
"I imagine they're taking human form right now, strolling around somewhere in Liyue Harbor."
Azhdaha stood up, walked to Qiu Bai and explained.
"Later, I must take a good look at your performance."
"Then I'll go find those adepti."
Azhdaha looked at Qiu Bai in front of him, then at Zhongli, smiling teasingly.
"By the way Morcius, I've always kept in mind how you sacrificed yourself to save me before."
"If there's any need, I definitely won't refuse."
Azhdaha tone shifted, looking at Qiu Bai in front of him with a serious expression.
"It was all for Liyue."
"Besides, you and I are friends, so there's no need for thanks."
Qiu Bai looked at the serious Azhdaha and spoke slowly.
"Hehe..."
"While we have this time, let's catch up and Qiu Yue can listen to us talk about the past."
Azhdaha looked at Qiu Bai in front of him, chuckling.
Then he pulled Qiu Bai, Zhongli, and Qiu Yue to sit at the table and began talking about old times.
At this moment, outside.
There was a huge stage brightly illuminated by surrounding lights, with a colorful radiant bird-shaped sculpture behind it.
On the sea behind, countless beautiful lanterns floated.
On stage were Hu Tao and Xinyan.
Below was a bustling street filled with people coming and going.
Fireworks continuously exploded in the sky, brilliantly colorful.
The exploding light also shone on the bustling streets below.
Lumine, Paimon, Shenhe, Chongyun, Xingqiu, Guoba, Xiangling, Yanfei, Yun Jin, Keqing, Ningguang.
Even Ganyu, Beidou, Kaedehara Kazuha, Klee, Barbara.
Kuki Shinobu, Arataki Itto, and even Fischl and Oz had all arrived.
Below the stage, Lumine was happily reminiscing with these people.
"It's you, flying dwarf radish."
"Who are you calling a flying dwarf radish!"
"Watch your words, boss."
"Ah... distant loyal friend... we meet again."
"Mein Fräulein means she missed you very much, traveler."
"Oz..."
"Wow~ So this is Liyue's stage!"
"So beautiful."
"Honorary Knight big sister, Klee wants to set off fireworks later."
"Can you come with Klee?"
"So this is Liyue's Lantern Rite, not bad at all big sis."
"Kazuha, be infected by Liyue's enthusiasm."
"Come, have a drink with me."
"Lulu~"
"Guoba, don't run so fast!"
Everyone was reminiscing, very lively.
"I heard this performance will have performers playing the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis."
"I really look forward to seeing who those two will be."
Keqing looked at Hu Tao and Xinyan on stage with anticipation.
"Hehe..."
"It will definitely surprise you greatly."
Ningguang held a pipe in her hand, speaking somewhat mysteriously.
Yelan stood behind Ningguang as someone handed her a document.
Then she slowly walked toward an unknown destination.
On top of Liyue buildings, the five Yakshas and several adepti.
Cloud Retainer, Ping, Can Shu, and Yaoyao were all watching this performance.
"Being able to perform on the Iridescent Tour stage, I'm deeply honored!"
"Now, please enjoy the performance that Hu Tao and I bring to everyone!"
Xinyan looked at the many audience members below and shouted loudly.
"Yoohoo!"
Hu Tao also suddenly appeared from behind, smiling and greeting the audience below.
Dvorak held a conductor baton, surrounded by performers.
He was also watching the stage.
Xinyan moved her guitar-like instrument.
Immediately, rock unique passionate music burst forth.
"Blazing Riff!"
Xinyan and Hu Tao struck poses and began a rap-like performance.
This immediately attracted more audience members to watch.
After the performance ended, the people immediately released the lanterns in their hands.
Countless lanterns slowly drifted up toward the night sky.
Fireworks also bloomed together behind them, beautiful beyond measure.
At this time, Dvorak also waved his conductor baton.
Conducting the orchestra behind him, beautiful music rang out.
Hearing this music, everyone slowly closed their eyes, feeling this wonderful melody.
Just at this moment.
Ping, sitting on the eaves like a fairy.
Began playing the guqin in her hands and even more beautiful melodies combined with Dvorak rang out over Liyue Harbor.
Dvorak, hearing this melody was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
He conducted the orchestra in turn, accompanying Ping melody.
Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
"Hearing this sound, is that Ping?"
"Hehe... it brings back many memories."
Azhdaha looked at the reflection in his teacup and chuckled.
"Mm..."
"Indeed... but this music is quite beautiful."
Zhongli took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"It seems it's time for us to appear, Morax."
Qiu Bai looked at Zhongli beside him, waving his hand with a light chuckle.
Outside, Ganyu also stepped forward at this time, slowly releasing the lantern in her hands.
Xinyan hearing this beautiful melody also began playing the rock music in her hands.
Immediately the music became passionate, then slowly came to an end.
"Next!"
"Please welcome two mysterious performers to perform!"
"The Battle of Acquaintance between Rex Lapis and the Immortal Lord!"
Xinyan looked at the many audience members in front of her and shouted loudly.
"Hu Tao..."
Xinyan patted Hu Tao shoulder and winked.
"Everyone please wait!"
"I'll go invite those two mysterious performers right now!!!"
Hu Tao looked at the many audience members in front of her, smiling and shouting loudly.
Then she quickly jumped down and ran rapidly toward Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
The people of Liyue Harbor at this moment, foreign travelers.
All turned their expectant gazes toward the large stone steps above.
In front of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
The moment Hu Tao led Qiu Bai and Zhongli out.
On this bustling street filled with people and mixed voices, it suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli with shocked expressions.
Things in their hands dropped without them noticing.
They just stared at Qiu Bai and Zhongli with surprised, dilated pupils.
At this moment, Qiu Bai and Zhongli with the gentle breeze, had their divine garments slightly billowing.
The surroundings also suddenly fell silent, without a single sound.
"Hey... you've got to be kidding."
"I... I'm not seeing things, am I?"
A delicate woman looked at the backs of Qiu Bai and Zhongli, murmuring.
