Hu Tao listened to Takumi explain the matter of Honkai.
The way she looked at Takumi was as strange as it could be.
"Takumi, will you also destroy Teyvat in the future?"
"According to what you said, the harm of Honkai is so great—don't you guys have such thoughts?"
Speaking of this, Hu Tao seemed eager to test him.
As if saying: just admit it, and I'll purify you right now.
Seeing her expression, Takumi immediately rolled his eyes.
"I told you, I'm different from those troublesome bastards."
"Let me tell you, I'm a good guy."
"A good Honkai."
"Other Honkai only destroy, but I only do infrastructure to make Teyvat better."
"Who do you think I am?"
What Takumi said could not sound more righteous.
Hearing this, Hu Tao looked at him suspiciously.
Real or fake?
Judging from what Takumi just described…
Honkai is definitely not a good thing.
When a big villain is saying, "I'm actually a good guy," it is absolutely not convincing.
Seeing that she still didn't believe him, Takumi was confused.
"Hey hey, don't look at me like that."
"If I really had any ideas—"
"I'm not bragging, but the whole Teyvat wouldn't be enough for me to destroy right now."
Takumi spoke confidently.
His strength would not regress due to civilization's decline.
He would only grow stronger.
Now Takumi possessed so many cores.
In the entire Teyvat, there was truly no one who could fight him.
Takumi felt more inflated than a certain pufferfish.
No—this wasn't inflation, it was simply the truth.
Hearing this, Hu Tao was speechless.
It made sense.
Although she didn't know exactly how strong Takumi was,
judging from his ability to control life and death,
he was definitely strong.
Hu Tao gave up the idea of "enforcing justice on heaven's behalf."
It was definitely not because she couldn't win.
The two continued chatting.
When enough time had passed, Takumi stood up to leave.
Everything that needed explaining had already been explained.
There was no need to say more.
Hu Tao happily followed Takumi.
She was going to visit Gracie.
She wanted to see what the girl from another world looked like.
Whether she was cute or not.
Just like that, Hu Tao followed Takumi back to the manor.
Then, she successfully met Gracie.
And under Hu Tao's aggressive social enthusiasm, Gracie was forced to become her friend!!
This left Takumi speechless.
Hu Tao even wanted to take Gracie out to play.
But Gracie refused.
Instead, she gave Hu Tao a painting of her.
Takumi watched this scene with amusement.
After receiving her own portrait, Hu Tao left happily.
She went straight back to her villa.
It was likely that Hu Tao would continue visiting Gracie frequently from now on.
But that had nothing to do with Takumi.
When it was dinner time, Keqing finally arrived.
Ningguang also came.
When they saw Gracie, they were curious.
They certainly knew about Gracie.
After all, Takumi brought back a spaceship.
The whole Liyue Harbor went crazy talking about it.
How could they not know?
It was only because they were busy with demolition that they hadn't come earlier.
Seeing them return, Takumi asked curiously:
"Is everything taken care of?"
So fast.
Takumi thought it would take much longer.
Ningguang nodded.
"It's all taken care of."
"Everyone cooperated very well."
"So the demolition went smoothly."
"There were no troublemakers."
Once people heard that Ningguang herself was overseeing demolition—
and offering compensation and houses—
they agreed without hesitation.
It only took a bit of time to settle all of them.
Otherwise, they would've come much earlier.
Thinking of this, Ningguang looked at Takumi and said:
"It's estimated that many people will come to Gui Li Yuan in the future."
"Many people chose not to take a replacement house but took Mora instead."
"Those people intend to buy houses here in Guiliyuan."
Hearing this, Takumi was surprised.
"Is that so?"
"Understood."
"Nuwa, handle these matters."
"Arrange everything accordingly."
Takumi nodded.
He gave orders to Nuwa.
Nuwa would assign tasks to others.
Takumi didn't need to worry.
Ningguang said nothing more.
For house purchases, just follow the existing rules.
These weren't her properties—it was the demolition compensation recipients who would buy.
Those people received generous compensation this time.
Enough to buy a very nice house.
Even a detached house.
The specifics didn't concern Ningguang.
Everything that needed compensation had already been given.
The rest was their own business.
How they bought houses or where they lived no longer mattered to Ningguang.
After receiving the order, Nuwa began issuing tasks.
Soon, the housing administration department received the assignment.
They were not surprised.
They had expected this.
Recently, many people had come to buy houses.
After learning the reason, they were prepared.
During this period alone, dozens of houses were sold.
It was expected that there would be more.
It was said that Liyue Harbor had been demolished.
It was truly enviable.
People received so much compensation at once.
Then they could bring the money here to buy a new house.
The houses in Guiliyuan were not as expensive as those in Liyue Harbor.
But they had great potential.
Just look at recent development.
More and more merchants from Liyue Harbor came to Guiliyuan to do business.
The daily throughput of this huge port was astonishing.
Because of new ships, many goods were now being transported through Guiliyuan.
Since Guiliyuan Port began operations,
the port at Liyue Harbor had become much quieter.
Most ships came here.
It was said that the port at Liyue Harbor was also expanding.
In the future, it would be built similar to Guiliyuan.
Large ships could dock and containers could be stacked.
Only then could Liyue Harbor's port keep up with development.
After all, Fontaine and Natlan weren't stupid.
Liyue's development was extremely good now.
It would be a pity not to come do business.
Because of this, many people who received demolition funds chose to return to Liyue.
