Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionNingguang seems to be thinking about something...
- (Approach Ningguang at the Jade Chamber)
- Ningguang: A great many things are still unaccounted for...
Things like what?- Ningguang: The new Jade Chamber is missing many of the contents held by its predecessor.
- Ningguang: All the literature, furniture, and ornaments I had collected followed the original Jade Chamber to its watery grave...
- Ningguang: Most of it was destroyed in the process, and the small handful of items that survived intact are strewn across the water's surface. Reclaiming them is taxing work.
- Ningguang: It takes someone with sturdy sea legs to handle this job, but even then... I just can't tell whether Beidou will be able to fish out everything herself.
- "Fish out"?
- Paimon: Wait, so you made Beidou go and fish your stuff out of the sea for you?
- Ningguang: To claim that I "made" her do anything would be imprecise. We reached a mutually beneficial agreement, as is always the case in our dealings.
- You pay Beidou to run errands for you?
- Ningguang: Payment is one aspect of it. But I also compensate her in other ways... Hehe, let's just say it's a little complicated.
- Ningguang: Anyway, Beidou is currently in the Guyun Stone Forest area.
- Ningguang: If you're interested, go pay her a visit. You may be just the help she needs.
- (Talk to Ningguang again)
- Ningguang: Beidou is salvaging some of my Jade Chamber collection out of the sea around Guyun Stone Forest. If that sounds like your idea of fun, you should go pay her a visit.
- (Approach Beidou at the Alcor)
- Beidou: Ugh, Ningguang... you're really trying my patience...
- Beidou: I'm sorry, but if the Jade Chamber smashed into smithereens when it hit the sea, then so did everything inside it. Just because I know the ocean doesn't mean I have the power to fish up the past...
- ...The salvaging is going pretty smoothly, then?
- Beidou: Oh, Traveler. What're you doing out this way?
- I'm here to help out.
- Beidou: Great! You couldn't have picked a better time. The whole fleet's caught up with other things right now, so I'll take all the help I can get.
- Beidou: Look, I even had to rope Xinyan into this.
- Whoa, Xinyan's here!
- Paimon: Yeah, what's the occasion? Did you come all the way out here to do a performance?
- Xinyan: You bet I did! Nothing official, mind you. Beidou wanted to hold a feast onboard and I agreed to come play a couple o' tunes.
- (If the player has not met Xinyan yet, an introductory note appears on screen)
- Xinyan – Blazing Riff
- Xinyan, a rock musician based in Liyue, uses her music as a form of resistance against societal stereotypes.
- Her tunes are well-loved, and the style of her tunes is much like she is: straightforward, generous, confident, and proud.
- Every time she steps onto her personally-designed stage, loyal fans will come flocking and start to rock to her rhythm.
- If you hear cheers and fireworks go up at any place in Liyue Harbor at the same time, it's most likely Xinyan, so don't miss out!
- Xinyan: But all that went out the window when someone showed up saying they were one of Ningguang's secretaries. They called Beidou away.
- Beidou: I think it was Baiwen, or Baixiao...? Ugh, well it was Bai-something.
- Beidou: Anyway. Ningguang apparently came up with the bright idea of me going out on the sea and salvaging a bunch of her old valuables. She seems pretty willing to shell out for it, too.
- Beidou: Hmph... Well, at the end of the day, the price was right. So yeah, we took the work.
- Beidou: Now, if we're gonna go trawling for trinkets, we're gonna need a smaller vessel.
- Beidou: All the available boats have been dispatched already. But by the looks of it, we're still one short...
- I have my own boat.
- Beidou: So you have your own vessel do ya? Hah! Great, let's take yours, then.
- Beidou: The more people we have on this job the better. 'Cause the sooner we get this wrapped up, the sooner we can get that feast going and actually enjoy the festival!
- (Board the Waverider)
- Beidou: So... this is it? This is your boat?
- Beidou: It's really, uh... compact. But, it works... It's about the right size for sweeping up junk from the water's surface.
- Xinyan: Only thing is... we're packed in like sardines here. There's nowhere to put my guitar...
- Beidou: Uh, Xinyan, your "axe" is getting a little too close for comfort...
- Xinyan: Oh! Whoops! Lemme try to move that out of your way...
- Paimon: ...Huh? Umm Xinyan, why does your guitar have blades on it?
- Xinyan: Self-defense, of course! It shoots fire, too! ...Oh, but the middle of a big festival probably isn't the best time to give you a demonstration...
- Xinyan: Also, there's a teeny-tiny chance it might set your boat on fire... That's not a risk worth taking, no matter how small...
- Paimon: Whew, this gal really jazzed up her guitar...
- (Approach the salvage area)
- Xinyan: Hold up, are those... Treasure Hoarders!?
- Beidou: We don't usually see these guys out at sea... Could they be here for the same reason as us?
- Beidou: C'mon, Traveler. Steer us a little closer.
- (Pick up the salvage)
- Xinyan: Huh? Why're they heading back to shore?
- Beidou: To reconvene with their posse, I'll bet.
- Beidou: Speed it up a notch, Traveler. This is a chase now.
- (Attack the Treasure Hoarders)
- Treasure Hoarder: Th—They're gaining on us! We can't give 'em the slip!
- Treasure Hoarder: Call in Carmen!
- Xinyan: Haha! "Carmen"? What kind of Treasure Hoarder has a name like that?
- Beidou: One that I happen to know pretty well. Didn't think we'd be running into him...
- (Defeat the Treasure Hoarders)
- Carmen: Stop! All of you!
- Carmen: Are you blind? Can't you see this is Captain Beidou!?
- Carmen: Hehe... Cap'n Beidou, it's been a while. Still fighting fit, I see.
- Beidou: I guess it has been a while, Carmen. You're looking a little worse for wear.
- Beidou: Maybe if you did your own dirty work rather than dispatching your minions, you wouldn't be so out of breath right now.
- Carmen: Ah, how you jest, Beidou, very amusing... Hahaha...
- Beidou: To get serious for a second, though — I'm gonna be needing all of this. So put everything down and I won't cause you any more trouble.
- Carmen: Of course, of course, whatever Cap'n Beidou wants... You heard her, people. Drop the goods!
- Carmen: Here you are, it's all here. So, uh... w—we'll take our leave now.
- Carmen dashes away with the Treasure Hoarders...
- Paimon: Wow, he did what we asked without a second thought...
- He couldn't surrender quickly enough.
- Xinyan: Couldn't run off quickly enough, either...
- Beidou: Don't waste any more time on them. We've still got salvaging to do.
- Beidou: Ah, but we should load this stash onto the boat first... C'mon, Traveler, help me out here.
- (Approach the first set of 3 boxes in water)
- Xinyan: Hey! There're some things floating on the water...
- Beidou: Hmm, I can't quite make out what they are. Let's bring them in and take a look.
- Beidou: I'll take the rudder. Traveler, Xinyan — go reel them in.
- (Collect the last set of 2 boxes in water)
- Xinyan: Hey, looks like another Treasure Hoarder raft straight up ahead. But, uh... why's it empty?
- Beidou: I guess Carmen told all his people to call it off.
- Beidou: Smart choice. He knows who he's up against. Let's keep going.
- (Approach the Treasure Hoarder camp)
- ???: C'mon, we gotta wrap this up soon! Leave the junk, take anything and everything of value!
- ???: And I need a few of you to go and load the boat up, move it!
- Beidou: Whatever you're about to do — don't. And whatever goods you're holding — they're mine now.
- ???: B—Beidou!? Wh—What are you doing here!?
- Beidou: I might ask you the same question.
- Liuliu: I mean, what does it look like? We got lucky. Found some treasure floating around in the ocean.
- Liuliu: If you see anything you like, it's yours for the taking! A token of our esteem for the mighty Captain Beidou, hahaha!
- Beidou: Is that right? Well, good. I'll take it all.
- Liuliu: I... But... C'mon, heh, be reasonable here...
- Liuliu: Me and the guys have been busting a gut gathering all this up... you gotta leave us a little something-something, surely?
- Beidou: Lemme make this crystal clear: These things do not belong to you, and they never will. So you're gonna put them down, and then you're gonna get as far away from me as is physically possible.
- Liuliu: That's a little, uh... Heh, why don't we start over, huh? You see, we—
- Beidou: Huh... sounds a lot like you're stalling to me.
- Beidou: Talk is cheap. Let's settle this the old-fashioned way!
- (Defeat Liuliu to 50% HP)
- Treasure Hoarder: The boat's loaded and in the water, boss, come take a look...
- Liuliu: Argh, Captain Beidou pulls no punches... Retreat! Retreeeeat!
- Treasure Hoarder: Uhh, if the captain is bailing... We'd better bail, too!
- Paimon: Woah, looks like they're outta here!
- Liuliu: We're sorry we offended you, Captain Beidou! Give us some time, we'll find a way to make it right, I promise!
- (The Treasure Hoarder retreats)
- Paimon: Boy, they sure ran off quickly...
- Beidou: Eh, who cares. They didn't take anything with them.
- Beidou: The bigger problem here is, there's no way all of this is going to fit onto your boat.
- Beidou: Hmm... Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Unload the boat and put everything here, in one place.
- Beidou: Based on the original plan, Sea Drake's boat should be coming past here at some point. When they get here, we'll hitch a ride with them.
- Beidou: In the meantime, Traveler, head back to the Jade Chamber and deliver a message to Ningguang for me.
- Beidou: Just tell her we're almost done fishing for trinkets here, so she should start getting my compensation ready.
- Got it.
- Beidou: Alright. Thanks, Traveler.
- Beidou: If both Carmen and Liuliu were here... Then I wonder if that other "boss" of theirs, Big Sis, is snooping around?
- Beidou: I've gotta tell Sea Drake and the rest of the crew to stay on high alert...
- (Talk to Beidou again)
- Beidou: I wonder what's taking Sea Drake so long... Could he have run into the Treasure Hoarders, too?
- (Talk to Xinyan)
- Xinyan: Seems like the Treasure Hoarders are more of a mixed bag than I thought...
- (Report back to Ningguang at the Jade Chamber)
- Ningguang: Welcome back. I trust Beidou is making good progress on salvaging the items?
- Let me fill you in...
- You bring Ningguang up to speed on the events so far...
- Ningguang: Treasure Hoarders, I see... Yes, I can imagine that must have been rather irksome.
- Ningguang: It sounds like you scared them off on this occasion. But it won't end there. They are not the type to forgive and forget.
- Ningguang: You needn't concern yourself with them any further, though. Leave them to Beidou — she is well versed in handling Treasure Hoarders. I will be sure to make preparations for her compensation.
- Ningguang: I also owe you my thanks for coming all this way to deliver Beidou's message. Here, please take this as a token of my appreciation.
- Ningguang: Now, please excuse me, I have other business that demands my attention. I wish you a fun-filled festival.
Post-Quest Dialogue[]
Beidou and Xinyan[]
After completing Petal-Lit Ships Fish For the Moon, Beidou and Xinyan can be found in the open world.
- (Talk to Xinyan or Beidou at the northern bridge entrance to Liyue Harbor)
- Xinyan: Ahh... Ahh... *cough*! That party was a real blast! You know you had a good time when you ended up singing a little too hard and straining your voice...
- Beidou: Seems I've caused you all sorts of trouble. Sorry it's been so tough on you.
- Xinyan: Are you kidding me!? I got to go out on the ocean with you and celebrate the festival with y'all. Couldn't have asked for more. Best Lantern Rite ever!
- Xinyan: I was gonna ask, though... Now that your crew is all back home with their families, aren't you gonna get bored on your own?
- Beidou: Haha, not a chance. Just yesterday I got an invitation to play some chess. Said I could head up for a game whenever I'm down to play.
- Xinyan: Head up...? Oh, right! You mean to the Jade Chamber.
- Beidou: Uh, moving on — when you're feeling better, we should grab some food together.
- Beidou: Lantern Rite only comes once a year, and I, for one, intend to make the most of it.

Ningguang[]
Ningguang can be found in the Jade Chamber after completing both The Blazing Stars Ring in Fortune and Petal-Lit Ships Fish For the Moon.
- (Talk to Ningguang inside the Jade Chamber)
- Ningguang: Another Lantern Rite is upon us.
- Ningguang: Traveler, it seems Liyue has a way of drawing you back every once in a while. Do you miss it here?
- I miss it all the time.
- Ningguang: Is that so? I am delighted to hear it.
- My focus is on my mission, my journey.
- Ningguang: Ah, naturally.
- Ningguang: Times change. Suddenly, the Lantern Rite of today is a wholly different affair from the past.
- Ningguang: The preparations were very lengthy this time. I don't know if it is to everyone's tastes, but I, for one, am most satisfied with the way it has turned out.
- Ningguang: I hope that it might be a highlight of your journey. If you ever grow weary in your travels, know that you can always come back and visit Liyue.
