At six o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened, and the night lantern in the shape of Yixiao Dao Tianzhen came to life under the light. In addition to the proper floating stone base and the fuel that lit the interior, there were also some seven-star secrets engraved inside.
This is the magic method of the immortal family, and the effect of the annual Mingxiao Lantern is like the return of the immortal.
Hu Tao and Xiang Ling knocked on Jun Luoyu's door on time. Jun Luoyu also rarely wore the black robe he usually wears. Instead, he pulled out a white-on-gold-patterned set that he would only wear during festivals.
The long gown and its temperament are not as boring as before, but exudes a sense of vitality, which is completely different from the usual appearance.
"Huh? You are actually willing to wear this white shirt? Aren't you usually wearing this outfit the most? It's not easy! The last time you wore this outfit was when you received a single combat mission for the first time.
During the annual Hai Lantern Festival, if I calculate carefully, I haven’t seen you wearing this outfit for three years.”
Xiang Ling has seen Jun Luoyu's current clothing. As the saying goes, a man's clothing depends on his saddle. Although Jun Luoyu's appearance is not outstanding, with his current clothes, it is no problem to say that his temperament is outstanding.
Of course, Jun Luoyu will definitely not tell Xiangling that he has several sets of clothes of this style, and often wears concave styles secretly in private. This was custom-made when he was nine years old. Although it is not a high-quality fabric, the workmanship is excellent.
Very detailed!
What he is wearing now is the one that was customized when he was fifteen years old, otherwise how could it fit so well!
Hutao had never seen Jun Luoyu dressed like this. Although she had a good relationship with Jun Luoyu, this was her first time to spend the festival with Jun Luoyu. At this time, Hutao kept looking at Jun Luoyu and marveled:
"I didn't expect that besides the uniforms of the Hall of Rebirth, there are clothes that can make you look more handsome! I have to admit that you look much more handsome in this outfit than the black robe you usually wear, second only to ours at the Hall of Rebirth.
Uniform!"
Jun Luoyu curled his lips and ignored Hutao. He reached out and took out a folding fan from his waist. He unfolded it with a "swish" sound. On the fan, there was a big Chinese character "yu" written on it, but Xiangling and the others couldn't understand it. With the paper fan in his hand and the long gown on his body, no one would question whether Jun Luoyu said he was the young master of any big family.

"Two beautiful ladies, can you please accompany me to have fun in the night market and spend the Hai Lantern Festival together?"
At this moment, Jun Luoyu has no sense of shame. He is thick-skinned. During the holidays, happiness is the most important thing!
"Pfft... Hahahahaha... Okay, since Mr. Luoyu invited me, then I agree, hahahahaha... No, no, no, you should be normal, I can't help but laugh when you do this..."
"Hahahahaha... I didn't expect you, Luo Yu, to have such a talent! So what should I say at this time? According to the etiquette I learned when I was a child... Hahahaha... Well, thank you for your love, sir?"
Xiangling and Hutao were so amused by Jun Luoyu's secondary style that they laughed so hard that they almost couldn't stand up straight.
The current Jun Luoyu is completely different from his usual calm and lazy look. He is cheerful and lively, as if he is a different person. It is easy for a senior chuunibyou to switch personalities.
"Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble. Let's go and make the lanterns first. Here, here are the floating stones for you two."
Jun Luoyu shook her paper fan gently, handed the pieces of floating stone to Hutao and Xiangling, closed the door and walked downstairs first.
On the stairs, Xiangling and Hutao were one step behind Jun Luoyu, talking quietly:
"Xiang Ling, have you ever seen Jun Luoyu look like this?"
Xiangling tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded slightly:
"I've seen him before. Even three years ago, he was just like today. He looked very cheerful and sunny. That time he seemed to be very happy because he could take on the task alone. He promised to accompany me to the night market. He is exactly the same as now!" After hearing this, Hutao rubbed her chin and whispered:
"Then why do you think he agreed to us this time?"
"I can't guess. Although I understand this guy's habits and living habits, no one can guess what this guy is thinking!"
But the fact is actually very simple. Jun Luoyu wants to agree, so he agrees; and since he agrees, he will try his best to do his best depending on the reward.
The remuneration paid by Hutao and Xiangling is priceless to Jun Luoyu.
So he put on that white shirt with the most serious attitude, showing his most sunny and cheerful side, to accompany them to celebrate this Hai Lantern Festival.
"Hey! What are you talking about! Follow me soon."
"Oh, it's coming, it's coming!"
Jun Luoyu urged, and Xiangling and Hutao caught up quickly. The three of them walked side by side to the night market of the Hai Lantern Festival, preparing to spend the annual grand festival of Liyue together.
The only regret is that Jun Luoyu walking in the middle is the shortest one...
The three of them each prepared their own night lanterns at a handmade stall. Since they were not prepared in advance, they were all ordinary red night lanterns, but no one felt dissatisfied.
Because the pieces of floating stone have not yet been installed, the night lantern is used as an ordinary lantern hanging on a small stick. Looking around, almost everyone in the night market is carrying a lantern. They are just waiting for the time to come to eight o'clock to put the lantern in their hands.
The night lanterns and the Ming Xiao Lanterns are released together.
"Ying, look, is that a walnut? And the one on the side is... Jun Luoyu???"
The Hai Lantern Festival has a large night market, so it is logical that the probability of two groups of people encountering each other is very low, but there is a foodie in both teams, so they both wander around the food area.
"Should...right? Let's go and take a look?"
Ying looked in the direction Paimon pointed, and the scene in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes.
Jun Luoyu and his group were sitting on a bench by the roadside. Jun Luoyu shook his paper fan and told Hutao and Xiangling the story of the Salt Demon God in the style of a storyteller. The movements of his hands were matched with the contagious words.
The tone made the two of them listen intoxicated, and even foreign tourists and Liyue people continued to gather around Jun Luoyu, gradually forming a small circle.
Chongyun and Xingqiu, who were constantly being fed by Shen He, also noticed this scene. In order to save their own weight, the two tried to divert Shen He's attention:
"Auntie, there seems to be a storyteller telling stories there. Let's go and listen!"
"Yes, Aunt Shen He, Liyue's storytelling is very interesting!"
Shen He was relatively indifferent. Since these two little guys wanted to see it, they should go and see it.
"It's okay, it's hard to avoid being bored after walking around for so long. The performance of the Hai Lantern Festival will have to wait until the lanterns are released, so it doesn't hurt to go and listen to the books first."
Seeing that there were more and more people around him, Jun Luoyu didn't have any stage fright. He stood up from his chair and raised his hands to the surrounding people:
"Everyone, what I am telling you are just some mythical legends, and I am not a professional storyteller. I am just chatting with my companions to pass the time. If you want to listen, please maintain the basic order and don't be crowded!"
Following Jun Luoyu's words, the crowd around him gradually stopped crowding and stood quietly, waiting for Jun Luoyu to continue speaking.
"Thank you for your cooperation! I just mentioned that the Demon God of Salt took the initiative to divide the power and make it into a salt cup in order to protect the people."
Jun Luoyu Balabala spoke for half an hour. He talked about the invasion of other demon gods, and embellished it a little. He only said that it was the Rock King who rescued the Salt Demon God with his timely support, and that the Salt Demon God was weak and did not survive to this day.
I didn’t stab everyone in these happy days.
"Everyone! The story ends here. My companions and I will continue to play. After the Mingxiao lanterns are released later, there will be a performance at the Qunyu Pavilion. You can go and watch it!"
As a related household, Jun Luoyu, like Shen He, knew a little about the plans for the Hai Lantern Festival. After telling the story to pass the time, he evacuated the crowd around him and slowly sat back on the bench.
"Are you comfortable listening? You have to tell a story to you two on the street. This time is great. I have become an unpaid storyteller."
Jun Luoyu complained half-jokingly that this time, according to his principles, he suffered a huge loss.
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I'll make it up to you with a meal later!"
Xiangling patted Jun Luoyu on the shoulder to express comfort, and promised a meal as reward.
"Junior brother, please take what you just said with a grain of salt."
After the crowd dispersed, Shen He walked up to Jun Luoyu and handed over a bowl of smoothie.
"Thank you, Sister Shen He. You must keep some of it. There is no way I would give out knives to everyone during this kind of festival."
"Sister Shen He! Here, here!"
Jun Luoyu unceremoniously took the smoothie and started eating it. Hutao was very happy to see Shen He coming, and asked Shen He to sit down and squeezed Jun Luoyu out.
"Sister Shen He, let me introduce to you. She is Xiang Ling, and she is also Jun Luoyu's friend."
Shen He took a closer look at Xiang Ling, felt the aura on her body, and thought thoughtfully:
"I heard that the True Lord of Gechenlang City has an apprentice in Liyue Port. I guess it must be you?"
"Huh? What Zhenjun?"
Xiangling was a little confused. She really didn’t know that Grandma Ping was an immortal.
"Well... do you know Grandma Ping from Yujingtai?"
"I know him, that's the master who taught me marksmanship!"
With three women in one drama, Xiang Ling and Hu Tao soon chatted with Shen He. If nothing unexpected happened, Shen He would soon be able to recognize another junior sister.
On the boys' side, Chongyun looked at Jun Luoyu with a troubled expression, with a hint of evil in his tone:
"Luo Yu, you... you are actually the junior brother my aunt talks about! Xingqiu and I were forced to eat so many things by my aunt, and it was all because of you!"
Xingqiu detoured behind Jun Luoyu and grabbed Jun Luoyu's arm with the same malicious tone:
"Luo Yu, don't blame brother for being cruel. Do you know how much food Chongyun and I were forced to eat by Aunt Shen He? Chongyun, beat him!"
The three boys started fighting, and although it looked very intense, in fact it didn't use much effort at all. The friendship between the boys was so happy and unpretentious.
