[Storage Pouch?]
[Screenwriter, is the xianxia novel good?]
[Identity symbol… it wouldn't be the same nature as a military tally, right? Once taken out, all of you have to listen to me.]
"Remember not to wear it on your waist, otherwise I'm worried that like during the Rite of Descension, you'll panic and forget to take it out."
Hearing this, Lumine immediately wanted to tie the brocade pouch to her own waist, but she found that her skirt had no sash.
So Lumine had a sudden idea. She walked up to Jun Bai and tied the pouch around Yiya's waist.
"Mido!" (Pretty!)
"It really suits you." Jun Bai praised.
"If Yiya likes it, then I'll leave it to Yiya to keep." Lumine said as she reached out and rubbed Yiya's little head.
"Yiya!" (Leave it to me!)
Yiya puffed out her chest.
[Yiya is truly too adorable!]
[I can really empathize with Morax and Guizhong from back then now. Who wouldn't love such a little phoenix!]
[Thanks to the second dimension, giving this forever-alone person a chance for maternal love to overflow.]
"Hoo, looks like we made it in time."
While Jun Bai was explaining the related matters, a familiar voice sounded. Guizhong, with Zhongli following behind her, appeared.
"Guizhong, and Zhongli too!" Paimon said in surprise.
Guizhong put both hands on her hips. "Leaving Liyue without even telling us, isn't that too distant?"
"Embarking on a new journey is the beginning of a good story, but before that, one must properly draw a period on the previous journey." Zhongli said.
Xuanjian and Yunshang walked out.
Yunshang apologized to Lumine and Paimon. "Sorry, you two. We told others about your itinerary."
Xuanjian bowed to the two of them. "The heroes who saved Liyue from fire and water are leaving Liyue. We cannot have no gesture at all."
"So I took it upon myself and, together with Yunshang, visited the people you two know in Liyue to see you off. If this action has caused any trouble to you two, I am deeply sorry."
Paimon smiled and waved her hands. "It's fine, it's fine. I even want to say thank you."
"We were the fastest. The others are probably still on the way, but they should arrive soon." Guizhong said.
"However, those living in Mt. Aocang and Liyue Harbor may not be able to make it because of travel schedules."
Jun Bai said, "However, for my sake, some people will definitely come."
[Bonanus: Yes, it's us.]
[Xiao: Logging in, logging in, almost there.]
xin——
An ink-green shadow appeared. Xiao landed behind Jun Bai, and the other four Yakshas followed closely behind.
Also arriving in a hurry were Cloud Retainer and Mountain Shaper, the two Adepti.
Moon Carver did not come. He was probably staying at Mt. Aocang to guard the house.
Actually, in terms of friendship, Mountain Shaper did not need to come see Lumine and Paimon off. After all, like Moon Carver, his relationship with the Traveler was average.
But could he, an immortal crane, not give face to Jun Bai?
So Mountain Shaper came.
As soon as the two cranes arrived, they used transformation techniques to assume human forms—namely Xianyun and Jiehu.
Seeing Jiehu's transformed NPC-like appearance, Jun Bai sent a kick his way without a second word.
Everyone present were their own people. Your appearance like this was simply lowering the overall attractiveness of our Adeptus group in front of Lumine and Paimon.
I didn't see it during the Lantern Rite before, so I let you off once. Now you're pulling this stunt again.
Thus, under Jun Bai's gaze filled with "kindness," Mountain Shaper began transforming again.
(Specific appearance reference fanart. Here I won't write the appearance description to pad the word count.)
——Reality
Aventurine's livestream room.
"This is what an Adeptus should look like. That earlier transformation said it was a Treasure Hoarder and there was no sense of incongruity at all."
Aventurine looked at Jiehu's new image and nodded in satisfaction.
[God™ Treasure Hoarder, this metaphor is too vivid.]
[That kick from my white bro made me understand—he really is a face-con.]
[To be close to my white bro, either the relationship is deep enough or the looks are above average.]
[I suspect the modeling team was planning to slack off, so they directly used NPC modeling. Then Boss Jun discovered it, so they worked overtime to rush out this current image.]
Aventurine continued with the plot.
Those who could make it to the scene were all Adepti and gods. For the characters who could not come due to travel issues, they also had people send farewell gifts on their behalf.
Keqing's personally carved mini sculpture, Ganyu's crafted Qingxin bookmarks, Hu Tao's Wangsheng Funeral Parlor membership card…
These items were all stored inside the pouch Jun Bai had given. Players who needed to could open the pouch to view the information one by one.
Although not everyone made it to the scene, everyone's sentiments had arrived.
Even if some people's gifts had unconventional art styles, they both fit the character settings and were full of the giver's heartfelt intentions.
[Hu Tao's membership card… I laugh every time I see it.]
[Xingqiu sent a novel he wrote himself. The content seems related to his second brother, but didn't he think we might not understand it?]
[Xiangling directly sent food. I hope Jun Bai's pouch can keep it fresh, otherwise we can only eat it on the road.]
"Ningguang sent 660,000 Mora. I can only say it fits the character. But if it were me, I'd probably add another 6 in front."
Aventurine commented on Ningguang's gift.
Because Aventurine and Ningguang's character settings highly overlapped, this line had no sense of incongruity whatsoever.
(Little tip: Aventurine for exploration uses fully built Ningguang. Klee is generally just for running around the map.)
"People who came to the scene aren't giving any gifts?"
[Strong Luck] activated—one sentence became prophecy.
Guizhong: "Preparing gifts isn't just them—there's also little Bai! We prepared gifts too."
After speaking, Guizhong took out a mechanical little bird in the same style as the scarlet plume one.
It was made in the image of Lumine and Paimon.
Yiya: "Yiyaduo~" (Yiya wants one too)
Guizhong: "Little Yiya can share one with little Bai first. Later, Guizhong sister will personally make one for you."
Xianyun's gift was a mechanical creation in the shape of an azure phoenix. Although it looked like it overlapped in positioning with Guizhong's mechanical little bird, its actual uses were different.
(It was the fairy spirit gifted for the third anniversary~)
The five Yakshas then presented specialties from the Liyue region:
Xiao (Qingxin), Bonanus (Starconch), Indarias (Jueyun Chili), Menogias (Cor Lapis), Bosacius (Noctilucous Jade)
[Students who want to pull for the Yakshas, take good notes. This is unexpectedly each Yaksha's ascension specialty materials.]
[Anyway, what Xiao sent is indeed his own ascension material.]
Xuanjian and Yunshang jointly gave a gift—an incomplete jade pendant.
Xuanjian: "When you need Guili Assembly's help, crush it. We will rush over immediately."
(Alliance Jade Omen.jpg)
Yunshang: "Liyue—no, Guili Assembly—will forever be your backing. We will always stand by your side."
Finally, it was Zhongli.
Zhongli offered farewell blessings to Lumine and Paimon.
[I knew it.]
[Rex Lapis, everyone gave gifts and you came empty-handed. Isn't that inappropriate?]
Guizhong: "Lastly, let's take a group photo together!"
