After two days of revelry, Star's life returned to peace.
In the days that followed, though not every night was a party, Star was very satisfied every evening. The bevy of beauties around him brought him surprises in different ways every day.
Especially since Ningguang had returned, and Yelan's investigation had also concluded.
Cloud Retainer also moved to Liyue Harbor…
"So, when are you planning to take down Ganyu?" Lumine lay on Star's chest, drawing circles on his chest with her finger, asking curiously.
Ganyu had returned a long time ago, and Star had personally accompanied him on a tour of Liyue Harbor.
After seeing so many people and so many things, Ganyu understood that Liyue Harbor could not do without him for the time being, and likewise, he did not want to leave Liyue Harbor and the people of Liyue.
In short, the matter was happily resolved. Logically speaking, as the meritorious contributor to this matter, Star should have seized the opportunity to accelerate his offensive and directly bring Ganyu into his fold.
However, to everyone's surprise, Star managed to control his desires and had not actively sought out Ganyu much since then.
This made Ganyu lose his appetite and sleep.
Lumine had also observed carefully; during this period, Star seemed to have lost interest in Ganyu, making no moves whatsoever.
Ningguang had even said before that since Keqing, who was originally intended for Star, had been taken by Star himself, then they should set their sights on Ganyu…
But Star's current performance seemed to indicate no interest at all.
"How should I put it, I think it's really time to slow down." Star held Lumine's wrist, making her draw circles in a different place.
"Hmm… you know, time is already a bit tight now." Star sighed, whispering softly in Lumine's ear.
Like now, tonight was his time alone with Lumine, but such a day would have to wait a very long time to come around again.
If the number of people continued to increase, the waiting time would also continue to lengthen accordingly.
Of course, occasionally holding a big party was also a solution, and different combinations also offered different experiences.
However, ultimately, there were still too many people, and Star felt he couldn't continue.
"What's the problem with that? Everyone is very patient." Lumine snorted softly, gently biting Star's shoulder.
If they could be with Star every day, no one would be unhappy, but the problem was that Star was only one person and could not be equally divided among everyone.
Since that was the case, they could only wait patiently. For them, waiting was nothing, as long as Star still held them in his heart, all waiting was worth it.
"Sigh, let me calm down too. If I can overcome this hurdle with Ganyu, perhaps the influence of my constitution on me can be minimized in the future." Star sighed, burying his head in Lumine's chest and speaking in a muffled voice.
In reality, not being able to take down Ganyu also made him uncomfortable; it was only by relying on strong willpower, plus everyone's efforts day and night over these many days, that his attention was diverted.
"Don't worry too much about this kind of thing. If it weren't for your constitution, we might not have been so smooth." Lumine said slowly, holding Star's head with one hand.
"Perhaps when we get to Inazuma, there will be a use for it. I heard Zhongli say that the Electro Archon is female, and she should be a very beautiful older sister."
"Ahem, w-we'll talk about it when we get to Inazuma…"
-------------------------------------------------
The next day, Star, whose mind was a bit muddled, made a decision.
Go out!
Go out and clear his head. Always staying in Liyue Harbor, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, and partying every night, he felt like he was decaying.
Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't taken on a commission for a very, very long time. During this period, he hadn't brought Lumine a single penny of income.
Although Lumine had already made a fortune from the artifacts obtained through that Nine Pillars of Peace, Star couldn't allow himself to keep freeloading, could he?
He definitely had to find a commission to go out and wander around, partly to clear his head and partly to earn money.
So, today, upon arriving at Yuehai Pavilion, Stelle directly told Ningguang and Keqing about her plans.
"Hm? You plan to leave?" Ningguang raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised at Stelle, who was sitting beside her, completely unclothed.
"Yes, yes, I've been in Liyue for so long, but when I think about it, I haven't been to many places. It would be a pity not to go out and see the beautiful mountains and rivers," Stelle nodded, then, blushing, brought a slice of fruit to her mouth.
Finally, biting the fruit, she offered her head.
"Hmm..." Ningguang took the slice of fruit, chewed it slowly, and then directly pressed her lips against Stelle's.
Ningguang was gradually experiencing the joy of this decadent aristocratic lifestyle.
"Have you told the others?" Ningguang reached out and poked Stelle's chest, then asked.
"Yes, I have," Stelle said slowly, pursing her lips.
She had just come from Keqing; Ningguang's place was actually the last stop.
"Alright, anyway, the Serenitea Pot is so convenient," Ningguang nodded.
If it were before, she might have tried to persuade Stelle, as she lacked nothing here in terms of food, drink, and entertainment, so why bother taking on commissions?
More importantly, she had only just returned, and Stelle was already leaving, which was truly improper.
But now with the Serenitea Pot, it wasn't so troublesome; they could meet anytime they wished in the evening.
"But before you go, have you considered Ganyu's matter?"
"Why are you saying that too?" Stelle rubbed her head, sighing.
"To flirt and then run away is not proper. Although Ganyu doesn't show it as obviously, from our interactions these past few days, I can tell she has definitely been attracted to you."
"I, I didn't even flirt..." Stelle couldn't help but say.
Honestly, to prevent the number of people from increasing further, she had even intentionally kept her distance from Ganyu.
"Are you sure?" Ningguang raised an eyebrow, stopping her movements.
"Uh... maybe I did," Stelle said awkwardly.
Under the influence of the 'nutritious meal' back then, she had gotten quite close to Ganyu when she went to Mt. Aocang to find Ganyu.
"So, if you insist on going, I think it's best to resolve Ganyu's matter before you leave."
"As for you saying there are too many people... why not think differently? Since there are already so many, what difference does one more make?"
Ningguang slowly leaned into Stelle's ear, taking her earlobe between her lips.
"This time, it's the last time."
"The, the last time..."
