[I have something to do today so I will only update once. I will make up for the two chapters I owe in the near future.]

That night.

White Horse Inn.

Chef Chao, who had just finished making puffs, was lying lazily on the bed, hugging his senior who had just returned from taking a shower as a pillow, and was about to fall asleep.

But after hesitating for a moment, Falusan in his arms still poked Chao Ke.

"Chao Ke, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong? Aren't you full? Still want to make puffs with me?"

After Chao Ke said this, he was hit hard by his senior.

"Hmm...it hurts so much, could it be that Senior Falusan wants to play some exciting...adult...games with me?"

"Pervert! Seriously, I have something to worry about."

As Falushan spoke, Chao Ke's expression changed from calm to shocked.

The corner of Chao Ke's mouth twitched. Could it be that he was the one...

"Tell me again in detail what happened during the day, from beginning to end."

Falushan recalled the details of the day and told them again to Chao Ke.

“…”

"I was studying Liyue's ancient mechanical arts in the teahouse. I got tired and fell asleep on the tea table."

"While sleeping, I had a dream about a fairy bird. The appearance of that fairy bird was slightly similar to the holy ibis in our Xumi region, but also very different."

"Lighter and more holy..."

Chao Ke stroked his forehead with his hand and said, "Yes, it's really that woman."

"Then, when you woke up, you found that there was a lot more knowledge in your mind. Some of it was the mechanism of the immortals, and some was a method of cultivating immortality?"

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Chao Ke didn't know what to say for a moment about Falushan's incredible fate.

First, he met the Rock King Zhongli and received his personal guidance. Then, he met the True Lord Liuyunjifeng who only came down from the mountain a few times a year and received his teachings and true teachings...

It is true that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods.

Rubbing the senior's two smooth and elastic slimes, Chao Ke sighed.

"It's best not to tell anyone about your recent experiences."

"There are many people in Liyue who have spent their entire lives searching for immortals but have yet to find the truth. If they knew about your deeds, they would probably run into a wall."

"Yeah. Um... can you please take your hands away? It's hot and I'm sweating..."

Chao Ke was stunned, and then squeezed Falushan's [Fruit Gummy Candy], it seemed to be really...

However, Chao Ke did not let go. Instead, he leaned close to Falushan's ear and spoke slowly.

"Senior Falushan, as a Liyue person, I will first teach you a mantra for cultivating immortality, called..."

"Be calm and you will feel cooler!"

"Eh?!!!"

--------------

Fontainebleau, Lyonnais district.

After a busy day, Alecino walked towards home.

As time went by in her job, she had completely taken over the Fontaine branch of the House of Hearth, the Buffatti Mansion.

All the children in the mansion recognized her leadership.

The diehard followers left behind by the previous dean were also eliminated one by one and went to where they belonged.

Even during this period, the official power of Fontaine often interfered behind the scenes and hindered the development of the Buffati Mansion.

But she also cleverly resolved the problem, and even fought back in some actions, giving the official forces of Fontaine... a "small" lesson.

In theory, this should be a good thing worth celebrating.

However, the news that she kept hearing from Catherine made Arlecchino unhappy at all.

At the dining table, Alechino made himself a cup of strong tea and opened the secret report sent by Catherine.

As the strong tea in the cup gradually decreased, Alechino's face became gradually gloomy.

After a long time, the paper recording Chao Ke's detailed movements spontaneously combusted for no reason and dissipated into a pool of black ash.

"If you don't come back, Li Yue will die..."

--------------

Liyue.

White Horse Inn.

Chao Ke sneezed for no reason.

"With my current physical condition, how could I catch a cold..."

"Something is wrong. Nine out of ten are wrong..."

"What's going on with this inexplicable feeling of panic..."

Chao Ke, who couldn't figure it out, drank some hot tea to warm himself up.

In the bedroom, Falushan was packing her luggage for a long journey tomorrow.

Time flies, and it has been more than a month since the two followed the caravan to Liyue.

Although the romance and human world here are beautiful, the two of them still have their own careers and cannot stay here any longer.

After all, Falushan is a scholar. She left her hometown for several months to relax, and with Chao Ke's guidance, she finally adjusted her mentality.

Because there are people she cares about in this timeline, she also has the courage to face the people who care about her in another timeline.

The scholar's research heart, which had been sealed away for a long time, also began to beat.

Her research field, "the structure and solutions of various mechanisms in ancient ruins based on the interpretation of unearthed documents such as stone carvings", has great geographical limitations, and her main research scope is basically confined to the territory of Xumi.

Even if other countries have some scattered research data, compared with the rich relics of Xumi, they are simply not on the same level and cannot be compared at all.

The situation on Chao Ke's side was not much better.

As a senior official of the Fatui.

He disappeared for such a long time without any reason during the mission. His immediate superior was Alecino, who doted on Chao Ke.

Otherwise, if Chao Ke was accused of being a traitor for such a long period of absence without reason, he would have no objection.

In the Wanmintang restaurant, Chef Mao specifically declined all orders for the evening and cooked a large table of delicious dishes to bid farewell to Chao Ke and Falushan.

At the dinner table, all of their friends in Liyue came to attend the farewell party, including a certain Lao Deng who was now very Mora-like, who also arrived before the party began.

Even Chao Ke didn't expect that the old man would give him such respect...

After the banquet, Zhongli specially accompanied the two of them all the way, and they walked together towards the direction of [Baiju Niyu].

"Mr. Zhongli, I invited you just to give it a try, and I didn't expect you to come and see me off."

"As you bid farewell to Liyue, I will of course see you off."

As Zhongli spoke, he took out an ancient stone plate from behind him and handed it to Falushan.

"Also, this stone plate was carved by me recently, and I specially gave it to Miss Falushan."

"The mechanical engineering carved on it is the wisdom left by a Liyue ancestor. It is one of the few mechanical engineering achievements in the entire history of Liyue that can rival the level of immortals with the wisdom of mortals."

"I hope Miss Falushan will take this as an example and appreciate the wisdom and spirit of the people of Liyue."

Falushan, who had learned the true identity of Mr. Zhongli from Chao Ke, hurried forward, solemnly accepted the gift, and expressed her sincere gratitude.

Chao Ke, who was standing aside, was quite moved. The stone plate carved by the emperor himself was probably as precious as a cultural relic.

No, as long as this thing can be passed down, it will be a cultural relic!

Thinking of this, Chao Ke felt a little jealous. Emperor, we can't favor one over the other.

Chao Ke first secretly glanced at the Emperor.

Zhongli must have noticed Chao Ke's movements, but he didn't react at all.

Chao Ke was not a shameless person. When the old man didn't say anything, he simply stared at him, his eager eyes seemed to be able to draw...

But with Zhongli's character, how could Chao Ke's gaze shake him?

What has been left behind by thousands of years is not just a little wear and tear, but also a mentality that transcends human nature.

After Chao Ke stepped back and withdrew his gaze, Zhongli raised the corner of his mouth into a smile and spoke.

"Little friend Chao Ke, don't be envious. You are about to receive a gift that is a million times more precious than this one."

"Eh?"

Chao Ke was aroused by the old man's words.

What kind of gift could be worthy of Zhongli's words "a million times more precious than this one"?

Chao Ke lowered his head and thought, and after a while, he made a decision in his heart.

This gift is most likely related to the secret that Falushan has been hiding.

Thinking of this, Chao Ke’s curiosity no longer ran rampant.

Since Falushan hasn't given her the gift yet, it must be too late.

When Zhongli sent the two of them to the vicinity of Baiju Ni Inn and was about to say goodbye, Chao Ke pulled Zhongli back.

"Mr. Zhongli, please wait for me here for a moment."

After saying that, Chao Ke hurried upstairs.

A few minutes later.

[The Ultimate Enlightenment Tea that Travels Through Time and Space]

[Rating: None (Chao Ke’s special cuisine, the judging criteria are determined by Chao Ke)]

[Food Spirit Power +0 (Character special dishes do not increase Food Spirit Power)]

【Ding! 】

[Special dishes that can be enchanted have been detected. Do you want to consume 5000 food spirit power/per bowl to enchant? (There is no limit to the number of times special dishes can be enchanted)]

【whether】

"Yes!"

[Enchantment successful, 5000 points of Soul Food Power has been deducted]

A bright light flashed by, and a white jade bowl was filled with bright tea.

Chao Ke took the white teapot from the box, poured the bowl of [Enlightenment Tea Across Time and Space] into it without leaving a drop, then walked down with it and handed it to the old man.

"Mr. Zhongli, this is my special tea. Please drink it as soon as possible."

"I accept your kindness, my friend. I will definitely savor it carefully."
