Half an hour later.
Wonderland Space, first-floor living room.
When Li Qiuzhi and Lisa came downstairs, they discovered that Ningguang had already gathered the key figures: Lumine, Acting Grand Master Jean, Raiden Ei, and Nahida.
Only the two of them had been missing.
"You took your sweet time." Paimon, hovering beside Lumine, gave Li Qiuzhi a disdainful look.
"Taking a bath takes time, you know."
Li Qiuzhi noticed an empty seat beside Raiden Ei and Nahida. It was probably reserved for him, so he went over and sat down.
Lisa went to sit with the other girls on the sofa.
This meeting mainly concerned cooperation between the leaders of several nations and the Sweet Flower Merchant Guild, so the discussions would primarily involve Li Qiuzhi, Lumine, Ningguang, and the others.
"Oh? Does taking a bath require two people to press together? Does that get you cleaner?"
Raiden Ei asked curiously from beside him.
"..." Li Qiuzhi gave an awkward cough. "We're discussing business now, Ei. Stop teasing me."
Nahida, sitting on his left, also knew something about the unrestrained lives Li Qiuzhi and the girls led.
According to what she had learned, humans were indeed quite enthusiastic about such things. Although she did not quite understand, she felt it was probably similar to someone frequently doing something they enjoyed.
She did not delve into the matter, instead looking at Ningguang across the table and asking:
"Have you gathered us to discuss another joint project?"
After their last meeting, Sumeru had collaborated with Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma on many projects, resulting in greater prosperity across all its industries.
With Beacons allowing them to communicate with the leaders of other nations at any time, discussing anything was extremely convenient.
"This time, it concerns establishing a joint merchant guild."
Ningguang explained in detail
