"I...I don't know it yet. Could you maybe perform it one more time?" Lin Feng smiled awkwardly, cautiously asking. He regretted not recording her dance earlier.
"What do you think?" Eula crossed her arms, staring coldly at Lin Feng.
"Hmm... I think I should give it a try first!" Seeing Eula's menacing demeanor, Lin Feng quickly shook his head.
He then began recalling Eula's dance steps and clumsily attempted to mimic them.
Eula watched from behind, gently covering her mouth to suppress a laugh.
After a few awkward moves, Lin Feng forgot the sequence. It seemed simple enough, but executing it was...
Noticing Lin Feng's struggle, Eula slowly approached, took hold of his hands, and started guiding him through the movements.
With Eula pressed against his back, her hands on his, she patiently instructed him.
However, feeling Eula's warm breath and the softness of her touch made it nearly impossible for Lin Feng to concentrate on learning.
After a series of attempts, Lin Feng finally grasped the basics of the Dance of Sacrifice. Nonetheless, even he felt self-conscious performing it as a man.
If Zhongli were to dance this way in front of him, he might have instantly uninstalled Genshin Impact without hesitation.
"Very good!" Eula looked at Lin Feng, nodding with a smile, offering praise.
"So, I'll have to fight like this from now on?" Lin Feng looked at Eula with a resigned expression, feeling utterly hopeless. At this rate, his enemies would likely die more from fright than actual combat!
"Of course not, it's not that simple!" Eula shook her head and explained, "This is just the foundational footwork. You need to integrate these movements into your sword techniques..."
Lin Feng felt lost amidst her explanation, but knowing that Eula would teach him step-by-step, he couldn't help but chuckle...
From then on, Lin Feng spent each day learning swordsmanship under Eula's guidance and participating in missions with the garrison squad. The two ventured out together every morning and returned home side by side, resembling a loving married couple.
Eula also experienced an indescribable joy as Lin Feng often took her strolling around Mondstadt City. Due to Lin Feng's frequent streams, people had grown familiar with Eula's personality and treated her much more warmly than before.
However, Amber always seemed hostile towards Lin Feng for some unknown reason.
As smartphones became increasingly popular, they reached household status in Liyue, with nearly everyone owning one.
Under Cloud Retainer's insistence, Shenhe finally descended from the mountain. Initially, Cloud Retainer wasn't in such a rush, but every time she bought a new phone, Shenhe would "accidentally" smash it with pebbles.
Having gone through multiple phones, all purchased with Ganyu's money, it became clear that Shenhe could no longer be tolerated.

"Junior sister, you're here!" Ganyu smiled warmly at Shenhe, as she typically worked in Liyue and rarely interacted with her junior sister.
"Yes, Senior sister!" Shenhe nodded coolly, her white eyes seemingly devoid of emotion. Yet, there was an ethereal aura about her, making her appear even more otherworldly than actual Adepti.
"Gurgle..." Suddenly, Ganyu's stomach let out a rumble. Embarrassed, she looked at Shenhe and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
"Eaten?" Shenhe paused, then replied uncertainly, "When I descended the mountain, I did consume a few Qingxin flowers!"
"Oh, well then, let's go have some food!" Ganyu blushed, feeling quite awkward for making such a misstep in front of her junior sister right away.

Inside Wanmin Restaurant, Xiangling held her phone, live-streaming herself cooking dishes. Caught between Li and Yue cuisine's fierce competition, Wanmin Restaurant struggled to maintain its position.
However, the rise of live streaming presented an opportunity for Wanmin Restaurant. Through the platform, they could directly source ingredients from suppliers without being constrained by the two dominant culinary styles.
"Xiangling, when will Wanmin Restaurant start offering takeout? Liuli Pavilion already has it!"
"Yeah, not having takeout for such delicious food is truly a waste!"
Seeing these comments, Xiangling smiled slightly and replied, "Hmm... Takeout can affect the taste if left too long..."
"Ahhh... Can't have Xiangling's amazing food, so sad!"
"When are you opening a branch in Mondstadt? Had it once, craving more now!"
"Use that Yellow Group delivery service; they're super fast!"
With a grin, Xiangling noticed Guoba waving nearby.
"Haha, does Guoba want to watch?" She chuckled and pointed the camera at him!
Guoba took the phone, nodding eagerly. He happily hummed along while watching cartoons on the screen.
"Guoba is just too adorable! When he has offspring, save one for me!"
"Bold claim! Guoba is my husband—he's unbelievably cute!"
"Guoba gave me a smile, ha ha... sigh..."
The duo of Xiangling and Guoba was arguably the second most popular act in Liyue. Naturally, the first place belonged to Qiqi and Hu Tao's Zombie Maiden duo!

"Qiqi, come on, let's dance for everyone!" Hu Tao chuckled, tugging at Qiqi's hand.
"No streaming, Qiqi!" Qiqi clung tightly to her chair, refusing to budge.
Of course, Hu Tao had numerous tricks up her sleeve. In no time, she produced a bottle of coconut milk.
"Qiqi, look, what's this?" Hu Tao sniffed at the cup's rim, feigning delight as if it were incredibly tasty.
"It's coconut milk!" Qiqi licked her lips, eyes fixed intently on the coconut milk in Hu Tao's hand.
"How about this? Stream with me, and you'll get coconut milk every day!" Hu Tao grinned mischievously.
During each visit to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Qiqi couldn't resist coming over just for the coconut milk. Through the story of Cloud Retainer, Hu Tao learned about Qiqi's past and felt immense sympathy for her, even offering an apology.
Initially, Qiqi didn't trust this person known for "heatwaves, fake smiles, and death." However, under the irresistible allure of coconut milk, she succumbed completely.
She could sense Hu Tao's genuine sincerity, after all, coconut milk never lies.
"Qiqi, let's stream!" Nodding enthusiastically, Qiqi accepted the coconut milk from Hu Tao as they prepared to go live.
"Heh heh, your favorite hallmaster is back with another stream. Want custom-made coffins from Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Even Qiqi approves while asleep!" Hu Tao grinned mischievously at the camera.
"Director, please don't curse me right at the start. Oh, by the way, I'm first! Don't forget to send me two talismans later!"
"WTF, just missed it! Director, can you choose better locations next time?! Walking in to see two coffins - felt like watching a horror movie!"
"Director, yesterday some blue-haired cute boy claimed your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor isn't on the righteous path!"
"That alchemist seemed quite awkward and clueless, but honestly, so adorable!"
