Chapter 546

Takumi looked at Hu Tao's puzzled expression and was speechless in his heart.

"Kitsune Saiguu is from Inazuma; it seems that it is not under your control!"

"Silly Walnut, are you already planning to expand your business to Inazuma?"

Hearing this, Hu Tao pouted.

"Although it's out of my control, I'm still curious!"

"But speaking of which, my insurance business could really be expanded to Inazuma."

With that, Hu Tao looked at Chiyo with great interest.

She began explaining insurance to her enthusiastically.

As for Kitsune Saiguu?

She was instantly forgotten.

Inazuma doesn't have car insurance yet.

Hu Tao thought it was a good opportunity.

Maybe she could even open a branch of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor there.

Learn about foreign funerary customs?

Inazuma would surely love it.

If the people of Inazuma knew what Hu Tao was thinking, they would certainly protest.

They wouldn't like it!

Stay away!

The arrival of Hu Tao and Himeko made the room even livelier.

Although it wasn't the Spring Festival yet, everyone had already gathered.

Tomorrow would be the Spring Festival.

Chiyo, General Raiden, and Kujou Sara had been playing outside for 15 days after eating at Takumi's.

With so many people, Takumi set up two tables in the room.

By tomorrow, there would be even more people.

Others, like Lumine and Paimon, would likely join too.

But Takumi was prepared.

Tomorrow, Xiangling would come to help prepare dinner.

After dinner, she would go home to celebrate with her father.

With the teleportation waypoint, getting back to Liyue Harbor was a breeze.

Xiangling's restaurant would close early in the afternoon, like many other businesses.

Some shops had already closed for the holidays.

Many workers from Guiliyuan had returned to Liyue Harbor.

These days, transportation was crowded.

For this, Ganyu had arranged more vehicles.

The cars heading to Qingce Village were also full.

It was rare for Liyue to experience traffic jams or a shortage of transportation.

Even private car owners started picking up passengers, earning a good profit.

Some foreign merchants and tourists stayed to experience the Spring Festival.

In recent days, the festive atmosphere in Guiliyuan grew stronger.

Under Takumi's planning, everyone felt the celebration.

This made many in Liyue feel both strange and nostalgic.

It was as if something deep in their DNA had awakened.

Although it was the first New Year celebration, it might become a bigger event in the future.

Chiyo, who came from Inazuma, took Lumine, General Raiden, and others to the Liyue embassy.

When Ayaka Kamisato saw General Raiden, she was quite surprised.

She quickly began to entertain them.

They weren't there for an inspection, just a visit.

She trusted the Kamisato siblings completely.

Ayato Kamisato was now the top authority in Inazuma, handling many affairs.

He was practically second only to the Shogun.

Ayaka Kamisato was also highly trusted.

If she weren't, Chiyo wouldn't have allowed Ayaka to work in Liyue.

After a quick look at the embassy, they went out to explore Liyue.

The next day arrived.

Today was New Year's Eve.

During the day, the streets had some activity, but by evening, they became quiet.

Only the Qianyan troops on duty were still patrolling.

Everyone else went home to prepare for their reunion dinners.

Takumi also began preparing food early.

The room was full of people.

Ningguang, Ganyu, Lumine, and Hu Tao were all there.

Everyone was helping.

As the chef of the day, Xiangling started cooking various dishes.

Klee and the other little girls ran around the yard.

Hu Tao and Paimon played with them.

Seeing this, Chiyo felt it was a fresh experience.

This kind of atmosphere was truly wonderful.

She liked it very much.

At this moment, Chiyo was already considering whether Inazuma should celebrate the New Year like this too.

Maybe they could try it next year.

While Takumi prepared dinner, at Zhongli's manor, he was also getting ready for a feast.

Zhongli had summoned all the adepti for a gathering.

Many adepti took human form and mingled, creating a lively scene.

Zhongli even felt sorry for Venti being alone, so he invited him too.

Of course, Venti didn't come empty-handed.

He had gone back to Mondstadt and brought wine he'd aged for centuries.

The lively atmosphere delighted many adepti.

Zhongli was also pleased.

Many old friends were by his side.

It was like a dream come true.

Soon, dinner began.

The adepti who were good at cooking had prepared the meal.

If Xiangling saw the food on the table, she'd be amazed.

Many of the recipes had been lost to time.

While Zhongli's feast started, Takumi's side was also ready.

After helping with preparations, Xiangling was about to leave.

However, as she was leaving, Takumi stopped her.

"Xiangling, wait!"

Hearing him, Xiangling was puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

"Is there something else?"

Xiangling was confused.

Takumi grinned, pulled out a large red envelope, and handed it to her.

"Happy New Year!"

Seeing the red envelope, Xiangling blinked.

But she quickly realized.

This was a New Year's gift, right?

She had seen the tradition where elders give red envelopes to the younger generation.

Seeing this, Zhongli couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you!"

Xiangling accepted it happily.

"And here's mine."

At that moment, Ningguang also approached.

She handed Xiangling another red envelope.

Not only Ningguang, but Ganyu, Keqing, and others also gave red envelopes.

In just a short while, Xiangling had received several.

Her smile grew wider as she looked at the red envelopes in her hands.

"Thank you for the red envelopes."

"I'll head back now!"

"See you all later."

Xiangling and Guoba waved goodbye.

Then she hurried off.

Watching her leave, Takumi couldn't help but smile.

He looked at Guoba, who was following Xiangling.

Ningguang couldn't help but be curious.

Why, Takumi, haven't you restored Guoba yet?
