Since yesterday, Yang Ming has lived on Haizhi Island. He came here for no other reason. It was Yuanxia Palace. He remembered the plot. Yuanxia Palace and his ancestors fell into this sea abyss during the battle between the first and second thrones.

Relics from the First and Second Throne eras should yield unexpected rewards.

So, under the instruction of Coral Palace Xinhai, Yang Ming could move freely around Haizhi Island.

Yang Ming took this opportunity to play and observe the entire Haizhi Island. Sure enough, there was a huge seal just like in the game.

Of course, Yang Ming can break this seal with force, but the price is that Haizhi Island will sink back into the sea.

If he really did that, Coral Palace Xinhai and the resistance army would probably tear him into pieces, but of course they wouldn't be able to hurt him.

"Oh, this is really troublesome. This seal cannot be broken by force. I don't know much about seals..."

Yang Ming thought of a person who might be able to break the seal.

That’s right, the person he turned to for help was the omniscient Old Deng.

However, it was quite difficult for Lao Deng to find him since he was thousands of miles away in Liyue.

He closed his eyes and sensed Ningguang's position. Ningguang had his mark in her hand.

Then a huge amount of elemental force was drawn out from Yang Ming's body, and Yang Ming was wrapped in a force and entered the void. When Yang Ming appeared again, he was already in the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Originally, Ningguang was handling the affairs of the Seven Stars and some matters of the Chamber of Commerce.

Suddenly, the purple diamond mark that Yang Ming gave her rushed out from the God's Eye space. Then it turned into powder and disappeared. Not long after, Yang Ming appeared in front of her.

"Hey, long time no see. How are you doing recently? Are you okay? Did you eat well? Little Ningguang~"

The moment she saw Yang Ming, Ningguang suddenly threw herself into Yang Ming's arms. Her original maturity and steadiness completely disappeared at this moment, and only childish innocence remained.

Ningguang kept rubbing Yang Ming's chest and face, taking a deep breath.

Yang Ming rubbed Ningguang's head helplessly. Ningguang stayed in Yang Ming's arms for about half an hour before she got up.

"That's enough hugging. Don't you want to hug me for a while longer? After all, we still have plenty of time."

Ningguang shook her head, then spoke slowly.

"A moment of tenderness is enough. If it lasts too long, I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to leave."

"Brother must have something important to tell you when he came back this time, so visiting Ningguang was just a sideline. But brother should also go and see sister Ganyu and sister Hutao, so you can't favor one over the other."

Yang Ming nodded, and then left the Jade Pavilion. Ningguang seemed to have been recharged, and finished all the affairs of the whole day in one go.

After leaving the Qun Yu Pavilion, Yang Ming came to Chihu Rock and found Zhongli who was listening to a story from Tian Tiezui.

Yang Ming sat down directly. Zhongli didn't seem surprised by his appearance. Instead, he poured him a cup of tea and pushed the snacks to his side.

"Are you coming back to visit relatives or to ask for something?"

Zhongli spoke slowly, Yang Ming nodded, drank a sip of tea and ate a snack.

"Lao Deng came back this time to ask you for a favor. I encountered a seal in Inazuma. If I forcefully open it, the entire island will sink into the abyss."

"So I want someone who knows about seals to help me open this seal."

Zhongli just nodded indifferently after hearing this, and he had no interest in the seal that Yang Ming mentioned, perhaps because he already knew about it.

"I've heard rumors about the White Night Country. It's a country cursed by heaven. Are you sure you want to get involved?"

Zhongli advised, but who is our protagonist Yang Ming? How could a man who is reckless to the extreme not dare to set foot in a country cursed by heaven?

Besides, wasn't it okay for Ying and Paimon to enter the White Night Kingdom in the plot? He didn't think he would be so unlucky and run into trouble.

After not hearing Yang Ming's answer for a long time, Zhongli sighed.

"My friend, you are really fearless. That's right. If I can easily persuade you... I will help you open the seal."

"But there is one condition. No matter what you have gained or learned in Baiye Country, you cannot tell anyone else, even your closest ones."

"You are also not allowed to take items from the White Night Country out of the White Night Country, especially books that record the history of the White Night Country."

Yang Ming nodded because he knew the seriousness of the matter. If he wasn't handled properly, the old woman Tianli might wake up.

"I still need to prepare for the sealing. In the meantime, you can just wander around Liyue for a while. I will come to find you around 8pm."

After that, Zhongli left. Yang Ming thought he hadn't paid yet, but the waiter told Yang Ming that Zhongli had already paid. Yang Ming was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it.

"Since Zhongli still needs to prepare, where should we go to have fun now?"

"I haven't eaten Xiangling's cooking for a long time. I miss it a little. Let's go to Wanmintang first. Although Inazuma's food is not bad, the taste is a little too bland."

Yang Ming came to Wanmin Hall. It was peak time at that time, so Yang Ming shared a table with a few people.

When Xiangling came out to order food, she noticed Yang Ming and trotted over to him.

"Brother Yang Ming, long time no see. Where have you been these past few months? You haven't come to Wanmin Hall for dinner once."

Yang Ming smiled and rubbed Xiangling's head, then said.

"I went to Inazuma for some business these few months. Didn't I come to Wanmintang for dinner right after I came back?"

"I kind of miss Xiangling's cooking. Can Xiangling make it for me this time?"

Xiangling nodded, and when she was sharing the table with Yang Ming, she immediately asked Xiangling to cook for them.

"Xiao Xiangling, please cook for us too. Although your father cooks well, we want to taste your cooking."

Of course Xiangling agreed with a smile. Chef Mao also came out from the kitchen and looked at Yang Ming with a resentful look on his face.

"Master Mao, don't look at me like that. I haven't eaten Xiangling's cooking for a long time, and I want her to cook for me once."

Master Mao came to Yang Ming and patted him on the shoulder.

"The good boy disappeared for sixteen years. You don't know how heartbroken we were when we saw Ningguang looking forward to the dock every day."

Yang Ming scratched his head awkwardly, then told Master Mao what had happened.

"So that's how it happened. It's really a bit ridiculous. But when I was young, I heard from several diners that the Demon God's residue is very dangerous."

"It's okay. There is no danger for me now. It's a pity that I couldn't drink at your wedding."

"Hey Xiangling, you're already that old, and you're still talking about those things."

Then Master Mao saw Yang Ming take out two bottles of wine from the God's Eye space. When the wine was taken out, a strong wind blew up and several diners were almost blown to the ground.

The strange thing was that the evil wind did not cause any of the food to spill out, except that one bottle of wine that Yang Ming had placed on the table was missing.

"Sure enough, these old guys have been following me. Forget it. Although this wine is good, it is not a good wine. Just give it to him."

Yang Ming helped Master Mao up. Master Mao also felt strange and could only curse inwardly and sit down.

"The wind is blowing strangely. The food is fine. Hey, why is there one bottle of wine missing?"

Yang Ming waved his hand, opened the wine, and spoke while pouring wine for Master Mao.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It's just a bottle of wine. If Feng likes it, let him take it."

"Come on, come on, I missed your wedding wine, so I'll make it up to you this time."

Yang Ming's wine was Mondstadt's Dandelion Wine, which was different from Liyue's wine. Master Mao took a sip and his eyes lit up.

He smacked his lips and said, "This wine is different from the wine in Liyue. It's from bars in other countries. This wine has a sweet aftertaste, and it feels like the wind."

Yang Ming smiled and did not answer Master Mao. He just drank silently.

But it's not Feng, the God of Wind's favorite, Dandelion Wine. Sooner or later, he will dig out the two bottles of wine he buried underground when the wind started.

Yang Ming thought so, and after Master Mao drank a bowl of soup, he went back to the kitchen to help.

After all, business still needs to be done, with so many people involved. If he messes up his work because of drinking, he would be committing a serious sin.

Soon, Xiangling brought up the dishes one by one. Yang Ming took a deep breath and then began to eat heartily. Seeing how delicious Yang Ming's food was, the diners around him also had a great appetite.

Xiangling did not leave either, but stayed by Yang Ming's side to serve him.

"Brother Yang Ming, try this dish. It's small wild boar cubes stewed with Jueyun peppers, and it also has pine mushrooms and bamboo shoots."

"And this, and this, this is my improved version of the steamed hairtail fish."

"Ah, this, the glass bag stewed chicken tastes very good."

Yang Ming tried them one by one. Although they were a little strange, they tasted very good.

After finishing his meal and chatting with Xiangling for a while, Yang Ming left Wanmin Hall.

Today is the weekend, Ganyu's day off. Yang Ming went to the General Affairs Department first, but the staff on duty said that Ganyu was on vacation and didn't know where he was.

Yang Ming arrived at Guiliji and found Gan Yu sleeping under the big tree.

Yang Ming secretly accumulated thunder elements, ready to run away at any time, and came to Ganyu and patted Ganyu gently.

At Yang Ming's gentle tap, Gan Yu opened her eyes dazedly and saw Yang Ming's face, murmuring.

"Did you dream about Junior Brother again? It seems that I am sick with longing for him."

Afterwards, Yang Ming was grabbed by Ganyu and held in her arms.

After enjoying the facial cleanser, Yang Ming didn't dare to move at this moment.

"Since this is a dream, let me hold you for a while."

As she spoke, Ganyu hugged Yang Ming and was about to fall asleep again, Yang Ming quickly spoke up.

"Senior Sister Ganyu, please don't fall asleep yet. It really is me."

Yang Ming's voice startled Gan Yu, and her originally sleepy eyes immediately cleared up.

After taking a closer look, he realized that it was really Yang Ming and hugged him even tighter.

"Junior brother, it's really you! Why did you return to Liyue? Are Columbia and the others back as well? Is your journey over?"

The suffocating feeling of the facial cleanser made Yang Ming feel both painful and happy. Although with his current strength, he could do without breathing for a long time, but he always felt that this suffocation was mental suffocation.

Yang Ming patted Ganyu's arm, and Ganyu let go of Yang Ming.

"Huh, I was almost killed by my senior sister. I came back for something important and I have to leave tonight. I came here just to see you. When I first went to the General Affairs Department and found that you were not there, I guessed that you might be sleeping here."

After listening to Yang Ming's explanation and learning that Yang Ming was leaving tonight, Gan Yu's mood became visibly low.

"I see. Actually, I want to travel with you guys, but the General Affairs Department can't leave me alone."

Gan Yu sighed, and Yang Ming scratched her nose.

"Okay, stop sighing. Sighing for a long time might cause wrinkles, and then it won't look good."
