The colorful silks all over the sky reflect various colors, and the brightly lit streets are full of fantastic colors.

But underneath this scenery, there is an unfriendly scene.

On one side are Hutao and Ningzhe, on the other side is Natalie.

There is already a sadly thick barrier between them.

"You haven't returned to Nata yet? Didn't you lose the game?"

Compared to Natalie's serious expression, Ningzhe's face was full of confusion, as if he couldn't understand why Natalie was still here.

"I......"

Natalie, who was originally so impressive, was suddenly choked. Her momentum was stagnant for a moment, and she didn't even know what to say.

Suddenly, the scene became quiet.

Except for the sounds of people passing by, the space between them was as calm as a pool without any ups and downs, or even as if the volume button had been turned off.

"Who is this..."

In the moment of silence, Hutao looked at Natalie with some curiosity. Then he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "You are the envoy from Nata, right?"

"...Um."

Seeing Hu Tao's excited look, Natalie nodded subconsciously.

"That's great!" Hutao cheered, then broke away from Ningzhe's hand, ran to Natalie, and said with a serious face: "I heard that there is war everywhere in Nata, is that true?

"

"...yes."

Natalie was struck by the bright plum blossom pupils and answered her words almost subconsciously.

"If there's a war, someone will be killed unfortunately, right?"

"...certainly."

Natalie's face became very strange, war? Being killed? She couldn't figure out what this weird girl wanted to do.

"Then...what is your funeral industry like in Nata?"

"Funeral?"

Natalie was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.

"Yes, yes!"

"If you think about it, people will turn into souls after death, and people in Nata were unfortunately killed everywhere due to the war. If there is no suitable method for extradition..."

When mentioning this, Hutao became more energetic and even forgot about Ningzhe.

so...

"oops!"

Ningzhe walked up expressionlessly, knocked Hutao on the head and pulled her behind her.

Then, he looked at Natalie and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Hu Tao didn't mean what he said just now, please forgive me..."

Hu Tao is too honest, right? She starts promoting the services of the Rebirth Hall when she meets a Nata man?

Not to mention that this Natalie has a background from the Konya family, even if she is just an ordinary Nata girl, it would not be appropriate to sell funeral services to her...

"..."

Hearing Ningzhe's obviously distant tone, Natalie didn't speak, but just took a deep breath.

No, no, hold on tight, this is Liyue Port, you can't do anything...

If you want to take action, you have to find a suitable time and capture Ningzhe directly to Nata...

After a few breaths, Natalie regained her composure and said in a calm tone: "It's nothing, it's just life and death. As a Nata native, I have long been used to seeing all this."

Then, she glanced at Hutao and said with a hint: "...As for the funeral, I'm really sorry. The people who died in Nata all had their own reasons for burning. Even if they turned into ghosts, they still had their own best wishes.

A burning heart."

Funeral services? She didn't have that in mind.

As the heir to the Konya family, she had long been prepared to burn everything for this.

It's just...now that she has a soft place in her heart.

After finishing speaking, Natalie took a deep look at Ningzhe, and then said: "I did lose this game, but... I don't think there is a problem with my strength."

Then, Natalie turned around and left without caring about anything.

"..."

Looking at Natalie's leaving figure, Ningzhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Hu Tao and said angrily: "Do you know who she is? If your words just now angered her, how big of a diplomatic incident would it cause?"

"Huh, I don't think she looks right..."

Hutao didn't look at Ningzhe's expression, but retorted in a low voice: "Besides, she looks at you as if she wants to eat you alive..."

Her voice was soft, even a little aggrieved.

"actually..."

"It's not a big problem. After all, she traveled thousands of miles to participate in the competition this time, and she also came to watch the lantern riddle show, which shows that she is still very friendly to Liyue."

Seeing Hu Tao's appearance, Ningzhe's eyes softened, and he spoke in a gentle tone: "And... I think what you said is right. The Nata people do need this kind of help to put people to rest."

This is true. After all, judging from his experience of traveling to Nata, the people of Nata did not do very well in the aspect of "posthumous matters".

"Yes, yes!"

After hearing Ningzhe's comfort, Hutao returned to his usual liveliness, holding his head high and looking proud.

"Yes Yes Yes..."

Ningzhe responded helplessly, touched his nose, then raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The silk floating in the sky continued to fall as time passed. When I looked up, there were already holes in the sky bit by bit, like a touch of white shining through the myriad of purples and reds.

"It looks like this session is about to end?"

It wasn't until Natalie was far away that Jiang Guo dared to stick his head out and said with some emotion.

"Yes, as soon as all the silk is gone, this link should be over."

Xingqiu also took a look around and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no danger.

The hidden fire elemental power just now was too strong. If Jiang Guo hadn't attracted most of the power in front, he would probably have to use the water elemental power.

That woman named Natalie is too scary...

and...

Xingqiu saw the interaction between Ningzhe and Hutao, and thought of Natalie's abnormal behavior, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.

According to some martial arts novels and light novels he has read, this situation should be the legendary one...

"Wow! Look!"

"How come these silks..."

"They're floating again! And they're still glowing!"

However, before Xingqiu could think clearly, the crowd started to make a fuss.

At a glance, it turned out that the silks that were slowly descending in the sky suddenly stopped their descent, and then actually emitted a shining light from within.

The brightly colored silks add a touch of colorful charm when illuminated by light.

"Oh... I'm afraid there is still a trace of the alchemist clan behind this kind of technology, right?"

Seeing such a change, Ningzhe was a little surprised at first, but then he came to his senses.

The subtle manipulation of each piece of silk to fall evenly on people's hands requires the controller to have good observation skills, let alone mastering so many silks at once...
