Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

"You, the great Ruotu Dragon King, thousands of years old! Are you tired just by selling candied haws?"

Zhong Yue curled her lips and followed Luo Chaya to buy food. When they reached the door, she turned around and said, "I'll go to the General Affairs Department in a few days to sue you for employing child labor. You're welcome."

Xianyun: "..."

Walking outside, Luo Chaya looked at Zhong Yue next to her and asked, "Is this how you get along with her?"

Zhong Yue nodded and said, "Yes, what else?"

"It's a bit... strange." Luo Chaya answered truthfully.

Zhong Yue curled her lips and said to Luo Chaya, "I don't know what this old bird is thinking. I feel like she always treats me like a child, so I just act like a child to irritate her."

At this point, she asked again: "How is my performance?"

"After we return to Fontaine, I will give you a non-resident actor position at the Opiclay Opera House." Luo Chaya said to Zhong Yue seriously.

"Huh? Does the Opikley Opera House have such a vacancy?" Helixia on the side was stunned for a moment and looked at Luo Chaya blankly.

Luo Chaya shook her head and said, "No, but if I want to, I can."

"That's right..." Helicia nodded.

"Give money?" Zhong Yue asked.

After Luo Chaya looked at her and asked this question, she tilted her head and asked, "Have you and Zhongli learned bad things?"

"No, I learned it from you." Zhong Yue answered Luo Chaya's question honestly.

Ying followed behind everyone, looked up at the sky again, and then said to Luo Chaya: "Luo Chaya, I think we should act separately. If we act together to buy ingredients, the efficiency will be very low."

After hearing Ying's words, Luo Chaya stopped, looked up at the sky, and then said, "Well, what you said makes sense."

So, Luo Chaya divided the money and everyone dispersed at the intersection.

Parallel processing is indeed faster than serial processing. After a while, everyone had bought the ingredients they wanted to eat and gathered in front of Xianyun's house.

But when Luo Chaya saw the pile of food in Ying's hand, she was a little confused. She asked, "Isn't the money I gave you enough to buy so many ingredients?"

"Indeed, we can't." Ying nodded.

Luo Chaya then asked: "Where do you get these ingredients from?"

"I'm not sure either. I told them that I came from Inazuma to participate in the Moon-Chasing Festival, and they took the initiative to give me so many ingredients." Ying explained her situation to Luo Chaya with a serious expression.

"Then...what about yours?" Luo Chaya shifted her gaze to Zhong Yue next to her, looked at the food she was carrying, which was no less than Ying's, and asked with her head tilted.

"Oh, they gave it to me because they thought I'm cute." Zhong Yue said to Luo Chaya.

"Given...given..." Luo Chaya's mouth twitched, and she looked at Hai Lixia on the side. She was also carrying a lot of things, "Ah...no need to ask, yours were also given to you by them, right?"

Helicia nodded and said, "Yes."

Ah...the people of Liyue are really enthusiastic.

After all, is she the only one who bought it purely with money?

Damn it! Is she not cute!!!

After seeing Luo Chaya's expression, Hai Lixia tugged at her clothes and said, "Lord Luo Chaya, don't be discouraged! After you return to Fontaine, you don't have to spend money to buy things!"

"Uh..."

Luo Chaya didn't feel uncomfortable because of spending money.

Zhong Yue kicked open the door that Xianyun had just repaired, turned around and said, "Don't stand at the door, I'm hungry."

"You just ate so much at noon, how come you're hungry so soon?" Luo Chaya frowned and looked at Zhong Yue strangely.

Zhong Yue paused, she turned around to look at Luo Chaya and said, "Are you stupid? I am a dragon."

Luo Chaya: “…”

Xianyun, who was inside the house, saw several people carrying large and small bags coming in, and said to Zhong Yue helplessly: "I plan to install a machine at the door that can notify the house of a visitor with a single press, so you don't have to kick the door anymore."

"Although the door is not worth much, it is still a considerable expense to replace it every day."

"Oh, then you'd better pray that you can hear that voice." Zhong Yue said to Xianyun mercilessly.

Looking at the things they bought, Xianyun was also surprised, "Wow, so many? I don't think I gave you that much money, did I?"

Luo Chaya recounted the experiences of several people to Xianyun. After listening, Xianyun fell into memories, "Well... I remember when Ganyu was still young, I took her shopping in Liyue Harbor, and it seems that she was treated like this. The people of Liyue seem to be particularly tolerant towards children and travelers from foreign lands."

"Okay, don't reminisce about the past." Luo Chaya interrupted Xianyun. She put the ingredients on the table and said, "Now go and prepare the ingredients! Show us the power of the Immortal Rice Cooker!"

"Don't worry! I won't let you down!" Xianyun waved his hand and asked Fengtuo to lift all the ingredients and go into the room that had been bombed into a war-damaged style. Then he poked his head out and said, "Um... can you come over and help me? Do you have any water?"

“...Oh.” Luo Chaya looked at Xianyun and sighed helplessly.

With the joint efforts of Luo Chaya and Xianyun, all the ingredients were finally prepared and thrown into the fairy rice cooker.

Watching Xianyun operating the fairy rice cooker to prepare dinner, Luo Chaya did not wait here, for fear that another explosion would turn her into the Black Water God.

Amid everyone's anticipation, Xianyun prepared a large table of food, which was as sumptuous as the meal she had at Wanmin Hall at noon. After all, she used all the ingredients to cook the food.

"How is it? Is my immortal rice cooker working well?" Xianyun asked, clasping his hands in front of his chest and puffing out his chest. He glanced at Luo Chaya.

"It looks and smells good, but I don't know how it tastes. Let's try it first." Luo Chaya was in no rush to comment.

"Please take your seats quickly! You are the first group of people to enjoy the fairy rice pot, so you will be expected to give us more suggestions when the time comes." Xianyun said to everyone with a smile.

Zhong Yue was the first to pick up her chopsticks. She carefully tasted a bite of the fish before she devoured it with confidence.

The food on the table was quickly eaten up. Zhong Yue burped and said, "It tastes good! It tastes almost the same as the food you made before."

Helicia did not comment. Although she had no requirements on food, she was Melusin after all, and her view on deliciousness was slightly different from other people's.

"It tastes really good, but it's still not as good as what we had at Wanmin Hall at noon." Ying commented objectively on the craftsmanship of the Xian Rice Cooker.

Luo Chaya put down her chopsticks and said to Xianyun, "So I say, you won't win if you participate in the competition."
