Xia Zhi sat by the lake, took out his guqin, and played a piece called "The Legend of the Dragon King Ruoduo" for it.
Dvalin listened to the epic tales of his predecessors, seemingly moved, and fell into a trance.
Xia Zhi put away her zither, lay down on the grass, and stared at the sky in a quiet daze.
He didn't sit up until Tvalin's head came into view, and he saw that the sun was about to set in the distance.
"Alright, I've spent the whole afternoon with you. Are you satisfied now?"
Dvalin called out softly twice.
"Still not satisfied? That won't do, I have to go back."
Tvalin was a little reluctant, but he still bent down in front of him and said he would take him back.
Xia Zhi jumped onto its back.
Before long, Dvalin flew over Mondstadt.
Xia Zhi thanked it, jumped off its back, and went to the fishing competition site by the Fruit Wine Lake.
The fishing competition has two phases, one in the afternoon and one at midnight.
That is, day fishing and night fishing.
Some fish prefer to appear during the day, while others prefer to appear at night.
If you're lucky enough, even if you don't catch many fish during the day, you might catch several big fish in a row while night fishing and turn the tide. This has happened in previous fishing competitions.
But this year seems to be different.
Xia Zhi walked over to the girls and asked, "How are Diona and Xiangling's haul going so far?"
Zhu Zi chuckled: "You did catch a big fish, but..."
The other girls were laughing too: "Diona caught a really big fish, but she wasn't strong enough and was dragged into the lake by it. Luckily, Xiangling was strong and ran over to help her pull it out, otherwise her fishing rod would have been gone."
Xia Zhi shook his head and laughed. This must be the effect of the [Strange Flavored Bait].
It is a fish bait with a strange smell, which small fish avoid, but it is very popular with large fish.
This fruit wine lake is terrifyingly large, and there are countless giant fish that have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. If they are attracted by the bait, they will definitely come and pull the rod. With Diona's small body, she really has no way to catch the fish.
Charlene snuggled close to Xia Zhi, sniffing the strong Dvalin scent emanating from him. She puffed out her cheeks, wearing an unhappy expression once again.
It was almost dinnertime, but no one went to a restaurant.
Xia Zhi specially prepared extra dishes for lunch and put them in her inventory. Now, they look just as freshly made. She simply spread a cloth on the grass, and they're ready for a picnic.
Since Diona and Xiangling couldn't leave the competition venue, Xia Zhi prepared a deluxe version of Fisherman's Toast for them, enough for them to eat their fill.
There were quite a few mosquitoes by the lake at night.
Ying'er was prepared in advance and had prepared mosquito repellent balm. She took it out and rubbed it on everyone's bodies, and sure enough, they were no longer bothered by mosquito bites.
She also gave perfume to Diona and Xiangling.
Compared to other contestants, they are already receiving excellent treatment.
The moon remained floating on the lake until midnight.
The game is finally over.
The judges weighed each contestant's catch to determine the final ranking.
After a flurry of activity, the results finally came out.
As expected, Xiangling won the championship, and Diona came in second.
Two girls ran over, looking very excited: "Master (Boss), your bait is amazing!"
Xia Zhi smiled and nodded: "Congratulations to you. Okay, pack your things and go back to sleep."
Having a spatial ring on my person is also convenient; I can just stuff all these fish inside without having to worry about how to take them with me.
Back at the West Wind Church, I took a bath in the Dust Jar and went straight to my room to sleep.
Charlene hugged her pillow, ready to run off and sleep with her father again.
Qiqi watched the little girl's back, raised her hand and touched the Key of Light, and thought of Fischl, the lightning-type girl who had a transformation item just like her.
The competition is really fierce.
Qiqi closed her eyes and continued her cultivation.

Liu Yun Zhenjun sat on the bed, looking at the sachet in his hand, his brows furrowed.
it's wired.
Last night she clearly wore a sachet just like the night before, but why didn't she dream about Mr. Xia again?
What went wrong?
After pondering for a while, Liu Yun Zhenjun untied the sachet and looked inside.
There was nothing there.
Huh? Where's the hair?
Where is Mr. Xia's hair that I put in the night before last?
Could it be that the hair inserted is a consumable medium, and that it will disappear once the dream begins?
Does that mean I have to go to Mr. Xia's room every night to look for my hair?
Liu Yun Zhenjun felt very tired.
It's very late today.
Mr. Xia must have already returned to his room.
It's unrealistic to think about looking for hair on his bed again.
Liu Yun Zhenjun rolled over in bed.
Is there a better way?
Shen He often slept with Mr. Xia, so getting his hair would be easy for her, but she couldn't very well ask her apprentice for it.
Or you could look in the washing machine, but the hair and dirt on the sheets and clothes would all be mixed together, making it difficult to distinguish Mr. Xia's hair...
This thing... is indeed not very useful.

In Mondstadt, in an ordinary house.
After Amber finished showering, she lay on her bed in her bedroom, preparing to take out her favorite novel from her ring to read, when she suddenly realized that the novel was missing.
Amber was shocked and searched the ring inside and out, but still couldn't find it.
Where is my book?
Could it be that I accidentally dropped it when I picked it up today?
I picked up a lot of things today.
Which time did it fall?
Amber had a terrible headache.

In Mondstadt, in a luxurious house.
After taking a shower, Qin lay on her bed in her bedroom, closed her eyes, and tossed and turned several times but still couldn't fall asleep.
My mind is filled with the wonderful scenes from the novel.
no solution anymore.
I'd better finish reading that novel quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep all night.
Qin took out a novel from her spatial storage and began to read it intently under the bedside lamp.
The best person in the world is one who carries a knife on a rainy night without an umbrella.

Inazuma, Kamisakura Taisha Shrine.
Yae no Miko stood under the sacred cherry tree behind the house, gazing thoughtfully at the branches that had sprouted new blossoms.
At one moment, a slender figure appeared behind her.
Yae no Miko turned around, looked at the expressionless Raiden General, and said, "What brings you here?"
General Thunder spoke up, saying, "It's Shadow who's looking for you."
Yae no Miko looked at Raiden General, and after a moment, a frown appeared on his expressionless face.
Yae no Miko knew that this person was now a shadow.
"Shadow? You're looking for me?"
"A couple of days ago, I suddenly sensed something was off."
