Genshin Impact: Kurumi is shocked, the God of Light is right beside her.

Chapter 57 Paimon skips work, Rudra awakens.

"Alright, little one, you can just call me Master Ding. I'm the person in charge of making the lanterns. Once they're finished, they'll be hanging on that wall over there. You can take them down yourself and hang them in the designated spot with the special markings."

After saying that, Master Ding pointed to the large wall not far away.

Paimon stared at the wall, which was six meters high and thirty meters long, and fell into deep thought.

"Even if I could fly, I couldn't fly that high!"

As Paimon spoke, he stomped his foot at the wounded air.

Air: You may be angry, but what's the point of stepping on me every day?

However, Paimon, who had already made bold pronouncements, still chose to compromise.

It's worth mentioning that the lanterns are lit only before the night of the Lantern Festival, so the lanterns hanging on the wall now still have intact, unburned wicks and pose no danger.

Without hesitation, Paimon, his gaze resolute, rolled up his sleeves and flew towards the wall.

After a while.

"Phew~ Going back and forth to get the lanterns was such a waste of time, I'm exhausted..."

Paimon, panting, raised his hand and scratched his head.

Fortunately, helpers have appeared.

"Paimon! I woke up to find you gone, then I remembered you went out to hang the night lanterns! How was work?"

Ying smiled and walked towards Paimon, asking him earnestly.

"Smoothly... well, not so smoothly. Master Ding, the person in charge of making the lanterns, wants me to hang five thousand lanterns a day. I feel a lot of pressure."

"What?! Five thousand a day?! Paimon, with so many lanterns, even if you hang one every ten seconds, it would still take you almost fourteen hours to complete the task. Why did you choose such a demanding task?"

As Ying did the calculations, she looked at Paimon with a bewildered expression.

"Huh? I've been traveling for more than ten seconds! What am I going to do now? I'm not going to earn any Mora..."

"Not only that, if you hang the lantern and keep going forward, you will only get further and further away from the wall on the other side, and the travel time will become longer and longer."

"Hmm... I didn't consider any of that. I just heard that it would cost 10,000 Mora a day, and I agreed on a whim."

Paimon grabbed a handful of his hair in frustration.

"Don't worry, we can do it like this..."

As she spoke, Ying leaned close to Paimon's ear and whispered the plan.

After hearing what Ying said, Paimon suddenly understood.

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Immediately afterwards, Paimon confidently flew towards Master Ding's direction.

"Ahem, Master Ding, does that mean I only need to hang 20,000 lanterns within four days?"

"Oh? Of course, we'll count the numbers at the end and then settle the Mora for you. Don't worry, you'll get two Mora for each lantern. Even if you can't hang that many, don't force yourself."

After saying that, Master Ding crossed his arms and smiled amicably.

"Well then, Master Ding, I'll be going now. Hmph, you can send someone to count the quantity in four days."

"Okay, sure! Wait a minute... how long have you been working here before leaving? Hanging all these lanterns, you're only worth a thousand Mora at most."

Based on his experience, Master Ding gave the answer directly.

"Young people, you still need to learn to endure hardship."

"Don't worry, Master Ding. I guarantee that the 20,000 lanterns will be hung within four days."

"Okay, fine, I believe you."

After chatting, Paimon pulled Ying along and immediately left.

The two remained silent and headed straight for the Mondstadt region.

Liyue, the Hall of Rebirth.

"Good morning, Master. Wangchuan and I are about to go out; we have some new business to take care of."

Zhongli greeted them as she got into work mode.

"Oh dear, guest, there's no need to go to such lengths. Since I've returned to Liyue, I'll go myself today. How about I give you a few days off?"

"In that case, thank you very much, Hall Master."

After saying that, Zhongli walked unrealistically toward the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.

Honestly, since Zhongli took on the responsibility of the Hall of Rebirth, he hasn't had a relaxing vacation or gone out for a stroll in at least a month.

"Alas, how much heavier is the burden of life that a mortal bears than that of a god?"

Zhongli rarely expressed his feelings.

"With the Lantern Festival approaching, I might as well invite a few old friends to enjoy the local customs and culture of Liyue together."

With this thought in mind, Zhongli walked further and further away, disappearing from Hu Tao's sight.

"Phew~ It's really not easy for me, the Hall Master. A small Hall of Rebirth actually houses two great gods, the God of Light and the God of Rock... Most importantly, although the guest elder is usually idle, taciturn, and has a monotonous expression, and he buys things without looking at the price and always puts them on the Hall of Rebirth's account..., he is now my subordinate, even though he is the God of Rock!"

After saying that, Hu Tao's eyes lit up and she revealed a confident smile.

"Hmph, it seems this hall master is quite formidable after all!"

With that thought, Hu Tao instantly became full of energy. Before Wang Chuan could react, she grabbed the record sheet and ran off.

Wangchuan walked out of the coffin warehouse with satisfaction, holding a pre-planned list of coffin usage in his hand.

And it was precisely because of this moment of carelessness that he lost Hu Tao.

"Hey? Where's the sect leader? Hey, sect leader, wait for me!"

Seeing Hu Tao's joyful figure disappear into the distance, Wang Chuan helplessly chased after her.

Wangchuan: Sometimes a person really wants to call the police, really.

It was this noise that woke Xunfeng up.

"Ugh... I almost used up all my light elemental power yesterday, I'm exhausted..."

Feeling dizzy, Xunfeng squinted and turned over, preparing to continue sleeping.

Just then, Qi Qi pushed open Xun Feng's door and slowly stood in front of his bed.

"Xunfeng, get up."

After hearing Qi Qi's voice clearly, Xun Feng opened his eyes slightly with difficulty and scratched his messy hair.

"Huh? Qiqi, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

"The coconut milk is all gone."

Helpless, Xunfeng had no choice but to get up and compromise.

Ever since Xunfeng learned about Qiqi's background from Zhongli some time ago, he has felt even more sorry for Qiqi.

Therefore, he cared a lot about this child.

"Let's go, Qiqi, I'll take you to buy coconut milk."

After tidying himself up a bit, Xunfeng smiled and led Qiqi out the door.

Liyue, the Great Abyss of Layered Rocks.

At this moment, the sun was high in the sky, and its extremely high temperature made the pile of rocks around the Naga King scorching hot.

The Dragon King Ruoduo was fast asleep in a sweet dream, grinning憨憨地.

The next moment, it rolled over and lay down on the scorching hot rocks.

then……

Several dozen seconds later, in his dazed state, King Ruoduo smelled the aroma of roasted meat.

"Hmm... what's that smell? It smells kind of nice..."

Nagarjuna slowly opened his eyes, stood up curiously, and looked around.

Then it discovered...

One side of my body is charred!

Only after seeing that his skin was charred did the Dragon King Naga realize what had happened.
