The sun has set, but there are still a lot of lights on in Liyue Port. Residents are coming and going in the bustling night market, and some people are sitting in quiet outdoor teahouses, enjoying the quiet night.

Liyue Port is close to the sea and is also a huge harbor. The busiest thing is the port. Even though it is almost ten o'clock in the evening, the port is still busy.

There are fleets coming to purchase, some are temporarily anchored, and the sailors are busy replenishing the daily necessities on board. There are also many taking advantage of their rest time to stroll around Liyue Port at night, drinking and talking together, or buying some specialties and planning to go back.

I gave it to my wife and children when I was young.

…

Far away from the port, about a hundred meters away from the high platform protected by the wooden fence on the seaside, there is a huge gold ship parked with dazzling neon lights. The surrounding sea is like a restricted area with nothing else.

Golden dock.

It is the name of the giant golden ship, the heart of Liyue, and the homophony of the golden house. On the twentieth of every month, a grand and luxurious banquet will be held here.

Those who are qualified to enter are all wealthy businessmen or talented people with a good reputation in Liyue.

The huge golden ship, not counting the exquisitely decorated three-story loft on the bow, is 70 to 80 meters long and 30 to 40 meters wide on the deck alone. It can seat dozens of tables of guests, play music, and dance.

The singing performances all seemed very spacious.

Because of the large number of people, it was very lively.

Qi Shi, Zhong Li, and Young Master were sitting in a good position on the deck. This place was very different from other places. There were only a few small tables, and the others were all three or two tables, with the tables spaced apart from each other.

It is also relatively far away from the lively atmosphere, making it more comfortable and comfortable, where we can drink, eat, chat, and enjoy the show.

However, this position does not belong to Qi Shi, nor does it belong to Zhongli, the god of rock. It belongs to the former head of Northland Bank: Dadalia.

Um...former person in charge.

Beiguo Bank has strong financial resources and is a big bank that lends money. How many business people can say that they can do without loans? In addition to Liyue's three major chambers of commerce and several big families, Liyue really controls the real power.

Compared with Qixing and other businessmen, they are certainly not on the same level as the former. No one would offend Beiguo Bank at all.

…

"Not bad~" Qi Shi held the wine glass and admired the playing of the zither, the sweet songs, and the dancing orioles in front of him.

Being able to stand out from the extremely good-looking Teyvat and bring down the original world. All of them are goddess-level figures. They are so eye-catching that Qi Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhongli, I didn't expect you to enjoy it." Qi Shi bumped Zhongli next to him with his shoulder and smiled narrowly.

Zhongli paused with the wine glass in his hand, shook his head and said in a calmer voice: "I don't come here often."

Rather than drinking wine and enjoying singing and dancing at banquets, he prefers drinking tea and listening to books.

"They are all men, I understand~" Qi Shi smiled narrowly as if he understood.

"The family is very strict, don't worry, I won't tell Gui Zhong."

Zhongli: "..."

You don't understand at all...

The young master smiled awkwardly beside him, acting like a transparent person.

"Wonderful, wonderful~" When the song ended, Qi Shi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Master, reward!"

Dadalia: "???"

…

Vanessa didn't go to the banquet at Huangjinwu. She found an excuse and wandered around Liyue Port. The bustling night market streets were full of people and brightly lit.

When I saw the crowded food stalls on the street, I just looked at them and had no interest in them. I just walked along the streets of the night market, passing by the bustling bustle in a relaxed mood.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Vanessa glanced at a bookstall and saw a book at first sight.

"How to be a good wife"

His eyes flickered as he looked at the bookstall, and his steps slowed down unconsciously.

"Guest, do you want to buy a book?" The owner of the bookstall is a beautiful woman, wearing a very common blue cheongsam gown. Seeing Vanessa's obviously agitated look, she chuckled and said softly.

"Um..." Vanessa's cheeks were hot, and she looked around as if she was sorry for sitting there. This place was far away from the busiest streets, there were very few people around, and no one noticed her at all.

"Ahem..." Then he put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, and walked over pretending to be normal.

Vanessa was struggling in her heart and wanted to buy it, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.

He pretended to look at other books, but his eyes kept secretly glancing at the book he had just seen placed in the corner.

Seeing this cute reaction, the stall owner couldn't help but cover the corners of his mouth where he couldn't suppress the smile with his beautiful hands. His body was shaking slightly to suppress the smile, and he didn't speak, fearing that he would laugh out loud as soon as he opened his mouth.

Vanessa pretended for a while, then finally made up her mind, coughed dryly, picked up the book she just saw with her cheeks burning, and said as usual.

"Ahem...it's nothing interesting, but this book is still interesting."

As a result, after picking up this book, I saw another one underneath.

"What else does a man have in his heart besides sexual desire?"

"Ahem, wrap up these two books for me." When Vanessa said this, her cheeks were so hot that she reached her ears. She didn't dare to look at the other person's expression and turned her face to one side.

"Guest, you..." The stall owner seemed to be about to say something, but was interrupted by the shameful and angry Vanessa.

"wrap up."

"Guest...this..." The stall owner was still not discouraged and wanted to say something, but was interrupted again by Vanessa, who was too embarrassed to see others.

"I said wrap it up!"

"..." The woman rolled her eyes helplessly.

"A total of 600 moras."

"Huh? It's so cheap!" Vanessa said in surprise, then she felt something was wrong with her words, coughed lightly, and paid the bill pretending not to care.

"Ahem, it's quite cheap, here."

"Guest..." Finally, the woman couldn't help but want to say something.

"I'm leaving!" Vanessa quickly grabbed the two books from the other party's hand before he even had time to wrap them up, and left in a hurry.

"..."

The woman was stunned for a moment, but when she came to her senses, Vanessa had already run away. The corner of her mouth twitched, she sighed helplessly, and muttered to herself.

"I want to say, guest, you have misunderstood..."

"Sigh... I hope I won't be found in a rage..."

However, she remembered Vanessa just now, looking at the two "books" looking like she wanted them but was too shy to speak, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

…

"Huh..." Vanessa ran out all the way with two books in her arms, not daring to see anyone. She looked around and then breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down at the cover of the book and couldn't help but smile happily, with the corners of her mouth raised.

.

Then looking around, although they didn't pay attention to her, there were a lot of people coming and going. Vanessa moved her arms, hugged two books, covered the names on the covers with her arms, looked down and couldn't see the titles at all, and then

Nod and continue walking forward.
