Holy Lord from Teyvat

At noon, the Alien Food Restaurant was closed as usual.

After having lunch together, Zheng Tian and Xiang Ling were already talking and laughing.

Most of the owners of the Fire God's Eye seem to be optimistic, cheerful and lively.

A cheerful girl like Xiangling who has no ill intentions usually doesn't arouse any ill will towards others.

Xiang Ling: "Well, Zheng Tian, ​​do you really not mind? How about I become your apprentice? Or I can exchange some recipes for you. Or I can work as your employee for free. Or..."

Zheng Tian: "Stop it, I told you it's okay, you don't have to do this. And I just gave you the recipe and asked you to watch while the Black Shadow Ninja cooked, I didn't teach you how to cook personally."

Xiangling had previously expressed her desire to learn how to cook, so Zheng Tian simply gave some of his collection of recipes directly to Xiangling.

It’s just a recipe for a few dishes, not some kind of Qi magic inheritance, so Zheng Tian doesn’t take it that seriously.

The reason why she only took some of them was because Zheng Tian had too many recipes. If she took out all of them, Xiangling might not know how long it would take her to learn them all.

Xiangling felt that she had gotten a great deal and insisted on repaying Zheng Tian.

Xiang Ling was a little embarrassed: "But, I always feel that it's not very good. One or two dishes are fine, just a cooking exchange between friends and learning to cook from each other.

But you gave me so many recipes from other worlds, which is enough for me to become your disciple."

Although Zheng Tian only took a part of it, it was still an astonishing amount, enough for Xiangling to study for a while.

Xiangling's so-called research on new dishes, in addition to learning how to cook the dish, also includes researching what ingredients would be better to replace a certain ingredient, whether new dishes can be researched from it, etc. The recipes brought by Zheng Tian allow Xiangling to do a lot of research using Teyvat ingredients.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xiangling’s biggest culinary gain from this trip will probably be the recipes given by Zheng Tian.

Zheng Tian was somewhat helpless: "If you had proposed to learn magic from me, then I would have asked you to become my apprentice. Now these recipes are my return gift. Didn't you also come here with gifts?"

Xiangling arrived a little late today, mainly because she was delayed by the gifts she prepared.

As for the gift, it was of course the dish that Xiangling had prepared with care.

Xiangling: "But that's just a gift for visiting someone. It doesn't have any special meaning."

Zheng Tian: "If you really feel bad, then please help me introduce someone to someone later. I really want to meet your master."

Xiangling’s master is naturally Zhongli’s subordinate, the True Lord of Gechenlangshi - Grandma Ping.

Earlier in the restaurant, Xiangling explained why she wanted to fight the Black Shadow Ninja.

Xiangling is both a cook and a warrior, and she thinks the black shadow ninja is really interesting. So she wants to fight with the black shadow ninja and learn more about the black shadow ninja. And this can naturally be attributed to Grandma Ping who taught Xiangling martial arts.

But when she goes to Liyue, she will definitely be able to see Grandma Ping. After all, Grandma Ping is a hermit in the city, not someone who changes her identity all the time. Zheng Tian just used this excuse to make Xiangling feel less uncomfortable.

Xiangling was a little confused: "Master?"

Zheng Tian: "Yes, I am a little interested in your master chef. Of course, if it is inconvenient, it doesn't matter. If there are any interesting recipes in the future, we can also talk about it together."

Xiangling gladly accepted Zheng Tian's proposal: "Well, my master is very friendly, it's not difficult for you to meet her.

As for the recipe, I'll have to bother you more in the future."

Zheng Tian: “It’s okay.”

Paimon immediately said, "Then Paimon will be the food taster."

Zheng Tian: “…”

Paimon, I hope you can tolerate those weird dishes later.

Kong: "So Xiangling, when do you plan to return to Liyue?"

Xiangling: "Like you, I plan to go to Liyue when the Summoning the Immortals Ceremony is approaching. At that time, there will be many foreign guests, and I will occasionally get some interesting recipes or get inspiration from their suggestions."

Paimon was very happy: "Okay! Then, we'll set off together."

Xiangling: "Well, when we get to Liyue, I'll take you around."

……

After saying goodbye to Xiangling, Zheng Tian took Kong and Paimon back home.

It was lunch time now, and Sora and Paimon were planning to go out and do some commissions after lunch.

Back in the room, Zheng Tian closed the door, lay down on the bed, and prepared to rest.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the window.

Zheng Tian sighed. Ever since Xiang Ling appeared, someone had been watching him. Later, that person followed him again.

Zheng Tian: "What's the matter?"

An old female voice sounded: "Hello, Mr. Zheng Tian. It is really inconvenient for me to visit you suddenly at this time. If it is not convenient for you now, I will leave now."

Zheng Tian sat up from the bed, put on his slippers, got out of bed, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Come in first."

crunch~

The window opened, and a person who looked like an old woman jumped into the room through the window with nimble movements.

Well, not on the bed this time.

Just as the man was about to speak, Zheng Tian spoke first, "Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun of Liyue?"

This old woman is Xiangling’s master, known as Grandma Ping, one of the Liyue immortals.

Most of her peers call her Ge Chen or A Ping.

In fact, she could have looked like a young beauty, but her mentality had been worn out by many things, especially her death, which dealt a heavy blow to her mentality and produced tremendous changes.

Finally, she took the initiative to use some means to become an old person, but she can actually turn back to her youthful and beautiful appearance at any time.

Grandma Ping stood up straight, and except for her appearance, she did not look old at all: "It seems that you know me. Did Lord Fengshen tell you about me?"

Zheng Tian: "No, I'm just investigating some things about Teyvat. By the way, have you met Wendy? Did he introduce you here? That guy didn't even tell me."

Grandma Ping nodded and said, "I have indeed met the Wind God. As an immortal under the Rock King, when I came to Mondstadt, I should first pay a visit to the Wind God Barbatos who had just awakened.

However, the first time I heard of you was not from Lord Fengshen. Your reputation as Young Hero Shenlong had actually spread beyond Mondstadt.

I just didn't expect that you and your friend actually got to know my disciple Xiangling directly."

After that, Grandma Ping took out a gift box and said, "I'm really sorry for coming here today. I heard that you drink tea occasionally. This is some tea I collected. The taste is pretty good. It's just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Zheng Tian did not take the gift box directly: "Visiting? This way of secretly following and visiting is really strange."

Grandma Ping: "You should also be able to notice that I am not trying hard to hide myself. For someone like you, my hiding is just to attract your attention.

It would be impolite to just leave, and it would be easy for you to misunderstand, so I came here to disturb you."

Zheng Tian then accepted the gift box, and then summoned the black shadow ninja, asking him to take a seat and serve tea: "Since you are a guest, please take a seat. Also, you don't have to keep saying what you are.

You should have heard from Wendy that I am easygoing, and that is probably why I came here directly.”

Grandma Ping: "Then I'd better obey your command."
