Chapter 290: Causing a Stir

The lights of Liyue Harbor remained bright and there were still many people around.

But on this street, on the street where Qiu Bai and Zhongli were walking.

There wasn't a single sound.

Qiu Bai and Zhongli dressed in their divine attire, followed behind Hu Tao.

Slowly walking toward the stage below Liyue Harbor.

Every citizen of Liyue stood dumbfounded in place, watching the figures of Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

"Rex Lapis and Immortal Lord..."

"Oh my..."

A delicate Liyue girl rubbed her eyes, looking at the backs of Qiu Bai and Zhongli, murmuring.

"The Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis have manifested!"

"Heavens, this can't be a dream!"

A middle-aged Liyue man looked at the backs of Qiu Bai and Zhongli and shouted loudly.

Qiu Bai and Zhongli just walked forward slowly like this.

Anyone who walked toward them was shocked and stunned, then hurriedly made way for Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

A little boy stood by the side of the street, pointing at Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

"Are those the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis, daddy?"

The little boy raised his head, looking at his father, asking softly.

"It should... should be..."

"Quickly go home, call your mother out and tell her that the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis have manifested."

The little boy father came to his senses, looking at his son urging hurriedly.

"So... so handsome!"

"Are these Liyue two deities?!"

A girl dressed in Fontaine clothing looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli walking past, saying excitedly.

Then she quickly took out a Kamera and photographed the backs of Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

"My Anemo Archon..."

"I've seen Liyue two deities."

A Mondstadt man said with his eyes slightly closed, unable to believe it.

"So these are Liyue two gods?"

"When I go back, I must tell those guys."

A young Inazuma person looked at Zhongli and Qiu Bai walking past, saying with excitement.

The streets of Liyue Harbor regained their noisy sounds, but everyone made way for Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

"Oh my..."

"Worthy of being this hall master two great guest ministers."

Hu Tao walked in front, looking at the crowds retreating around them, speaking with surprise.

"It seems you two really do look the part. This kind of performance is the most perfect."

"This director is very much looking forward to your performance later!"

Hu Tao turned around, hands behind her back, retreating backward while smiling.

"Don't worry, Director."

"We will definitely try our best to act like the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis."

The divine-attired Qiu Bai looked at Hu Tao in front of him, nodding as he spoke.

"My old friend speaks truly."

"What Rex Lapis and the Immortal Lord represent need not be said. We will definitely perform well, giving the people of Liyue and travelers from various nations a stunning performance."

Zhongli looked at Hu Tao in front of him, speaking slowly.

"Excellent, with such resolve you can perform well!"

"You must perform well and present the entire Liyue Harbor with a big, big surprise."

Hu Tao looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her, smiling and nodding.

"Immortal Lord, Rex Lapis!"

"Thank you for the contributions you made, I never thought this would actually be real!"

An old grandmother walked over, her eyes somewhat dim, looking at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her with tears in her eyes.

"They also said that Rex Lapis had passed away..."

"Immortal Lord had also fallen into eternal slumber. This old woman never believed it."

The old grandmother shook her head, looking at Qiu Bai and Zhongli, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Mm..."

Zhongli looked at the old grandmother appearance and also sighed.

"Elder, Rex Lapis and the Immortal Lord have indeed passed away and fallen into slumber."

"Take a good look, who are we?"

Qiu Bai and Zhongli exchanged glances, then looked at the old grandmother in front of them, speaking with a light chuckle.

"You... you are..."

The old grandmother rubbed her tear-filled eyes, then looked into the eyes of Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

"Qiu Bai... Mr. Zhongli?"

"Sigh... this old woman is confused, mistaking even Rex Lapis and the Immortal Lord"

The old grandmother lowered her head, shaking it with some amusement.

"However, you two young men..."

"Your appearance and the clothes you wear really are so similar... just like the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis carved from the same mold."

The old grandmother looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli in front of her, speaking kindly.

"Elder, there's no need to be so pessimistic."

"Now is the age of human governance, Liyue will surely move toward a better future."

Zhongli looked at the elder in front of him, waving his hand as he spoke.

"Hehe..."

"Mr. Zhongli speaks truly... it's just... the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis, sigh..."

The elder sighed and slowly walked toward the other end of the street.

Her figure also appeared somewhat melancholic.

"Grandma!"

"You're here! Dad and Mom are waiting for the performance below, let's go watch too."

A cute little girl ran out, tugging at the old grandmother arm, showing a cute smile.

"Alright, alright..."

"I'll accompany our little Mi to watch..."

The old grandmother looked at the cute little girl and immediately a smile appeared on her face again.

"That's good..."

Qiu Bai looked at the old grandmother and little girl ahead, chuckling softly.

"Whether we exist or not, their lives remain happy."

"But Liyue history should be remembered."

Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest, looking at the prosperous Liyue Harbor around them and the many shocked Liyue people, speaking slowly.

"However, this scene is truly beyond what I could have imagined."

"The Director truly has wonderful and strange ideas."

Qiu Bai looked at Hu Tao walking ahead, speaking with a smile.

"This child, I cannot handle her."

"Having you and I play the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis, hehe... how could she think of such a performance."

Zhongli looked at Qiu Bai beside him, speaking with a wry smile.

Just like this, under the shocked gazes of the Liyue people.

Zhongli and Qiu Bai led by Hu Tao, slowly walked up the massive stone steps leading to the stage.

"The Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis seem to have gone down."

"Quick, follow them."

The Liyue people saw Qiu Bai and Zhongli disappearing and hurriedly followed.

Even the Liyue people who were eating inside their houses came out upon hearing this.

"The Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis?"

"Where are they?"

Ying'er looked at the people around her, asking somewhat puzzled.

"They went down, the Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis seem to have gone toward that stage."

"Miss Ying'er."

A young Liyue man pointed toward the bottom of the massive stone steps, speaking as a reminder.

The people of Liyue just watched Qiu Bai and Zhongli like this, slowly walking down the stone steps.

They didn't approach closely, just gathered at a distance.

And people from Fontaine and others with Kameras all began frantically photographing Qiu Bai and Zhongli.

"The Immortal Lord and Rex Lapis, oh my!"

"It's Liyue two deities!"

Barbara below looked at Qiu Bai and Zhongli slowly walking down the steps, covering her mouth in surprise.
