Genshin Impact: Return of the Water Queen

“I see.” Zhongli suddenly realized. He sighed and said, “Indeed, the immortals have lived in the mountains for a long time and don’t know much about Liyue’s affairs. They will be very excited when they hear the news of the Emperor’s death. Ganyu is not suitable for such a scene. Having you here can ease the relationship between the Liyue Seven Stars and the immortals.”

Luo Chaya nodded slightly, but her eyes soon moved away from Zhongli and onto the stove in front of the Wanmin Hall. She looked at the delicious food bubbling on the stove, suddenly patted Zhongli's shoulder, put her hand on it, and asked, "Old friend, do you have any money?"

"As the God of Rock, you should have a lot of money, right?"

"As for Mora..." Zhongli fell silent after hearing Luo Chaya's question. After a while, he explained to Luo Chaya, "If I were still the Rock God, I would not lack Mora. However, I have decided not to be the Rock God anymore, so I naturally cannot use the Rock God's authority to create Mora. So, I don't have this thing. But by the way, this morning, I received a bunch of bills with your name on them. Why is that?"

After hearing Zhongli's question, Luo Chaya couldn't help but cough. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, well... on the way home last night, I saw that Liyue Harbor was so prosperous, so I couldn't help but go shopping. But you also know that I have been dead for 500 years after all. In terms of savings, I am really penniless. At that time, I only knew you in Liyue Harbor. If I don't send it to you, who should I send it to!"

"There is nothing wrong with that, but all my expenses are also recorded in the account of the Wangsheng Hall. If the hall master sees the accounts of these palace lanterns, candied haws, sesame cakes and the like, I'm afraid he will nag me again." Zhongli sighed.

"Thank you for your help." Luo Chaya smiled and thanked Zhongli for his generosity. No, thanked Master Hu for his generosity.

The two were talking outside the store, and their words were not heard by the people passing by. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a very weak blue fluorescence around Luo Chaya and Zhongli, which is almost invisible under the sun.

This is Luo Chaya's power, and it is this layer of light that blocks her conversation with Zhongli.

Zhongli naturally knew this, otherwise he would not have openly revealed his identity as the God of Rock.

A girl ran out of the Hall of All People, followed by an orange creature that looked like a small bear doll.

The little girl ran to Luo Chaya and Zhongli, waved and greeted them, "Hello! I'm Xiangling from Wanmin Hall. I noticed that you two have been standing here for a long time. Are you planning to eat something?"

The little doll-like creature following behind her also raised its head, looked at Zhongli and Luo Chaya, and smiled with its eyes narrowed.

"Ah...it's you." Zhongli looked at Guoba with some emotion in his tone. Luo Chaya also noticed Guoba. She felt her hands itching when she looked at Guoba.

I really want to hug and rub you!

hateful!

I can’t embarrass myself in front of Zhongli!

"Hey, do we know each other?" Xiangling was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhongli's sigh, and looked at him in confusion. When Zhongli said this, he looked forward, and Xiangling didn't know that he was looking at Guoba.

"Chef Xiangling of Wanmin Hall's reputation has long spread throughout Liyue Harbor, so naturally I have heard of her." After hearing Xiangling's question, Zhongli said these flattering words calmly.

After hearing what Zhongli said, Xiangling scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a chuckle, "No, no, I'm still far from being a chef! What do you two want to eat?"

"What are the signature dishes of Wanmintang?" Luo Chaya asked. She continued, "I just came to Liyue Harbor yesterday and am not familiar with everything here. Does Miss Xiangling have any recommendations?"

"The guests are from outside Liyue Harbor?" Xiangling looked at Luo Chaya in surprise and said quickly, "Why don't you try my specialty, boiled fish! This is the signature dish of our Wanmin Hall! The details are on the menu, and the guests can choose for themselves."

Luo Chaya looked at Xiangling's enthusiasm, nodded slightly, then looked at Zhongli and asked, "Zhongli, are you hungry?"

Zhongli always looked dignified and noble. He said, "I came out today just to wait for a table of delicious food. Since you have this intention and Miss Xiangling has invited me so warmly, I can't refuse. I can't let down the delicious food, so I'll trouble Miss Xiangling to show us her cooking skills."

"Hehehe, no problem! Please come in, both of you!" Xiangling smiled embarrassedly and invited Zhongli and Luo Chaya into the Wanmin Hall.

The two sat at a table near the window.

The godly demeanor that Luo Chaya and Zhongli naturally exuded made the atmosphere around them become somewhat solemn and dignified, and the scenery outside became even more beautiful.

Handsome men and beautiful women are no different.

Xiangling brought the two of them a menu, but Zhongli did not order anything. He said to Luo Chaya, "You are a guest in Liyue. You can choose the dishes you like. This is also my way of welcoming you back."

"That's great!" Luo Chaya laughed. She looked at the menu and ordered a few dishes she wanted.

"Okay, please wait for a moment." Xiangling wrote down the dishes Luo Chaya ordered and walked towards the kitchen. Guoba followed Xiangling all the time, but when Xiangling turned around and couldn't see behind her, Luo Chaya reached out and grabbed Guoba.

"Goo!"

Guoba twisted his body, but how could he escape from Luochaya's palm?

But Guoba didn't struggle too hard, it just twisted its body symbolically. Even though its intelligence was greatly reduced and its divinity was gone, Guoba could still sense the identities of Zhongli and Luochaya, and knew that Zhongli was its old friend.

Luo Chaya held Guoba in her arms and said to Zhongli, "Guoba is a demon, right?"

Zhongli nodded slightly, "Yes, it is the Demon God of the Hearth, Mark Hughes. Liyue's hearth fires and delicious food are all its blessings."

Zhongli was not surprised that Luo Chaya knew Guoba's identity.

Luo Chaya rubbed Guoba's head again and said with a smile: "Then we should thank Guoba for letting us eat such delicious food! Oh, when will we have such a lovely demon god in Fengdan!"

Hearing her sigh, Zhongli thought for a moment and said to her: "I have heard the Fontaine people describe the current water god Fukaros, and one of the words is "cute". Although I don't mind using the word "cute" to refer to a demon god, Fukaros has not interacted with the other seven gods since he inherited your throne, so I don't know if this description is appropriate."
