Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Zhongli saw off the group of travelers, took out a basket from the kitchen, put in a portion of pickled pork with preserved vegetables that had been warming on the stove, and also took out the Lianli Zhenxin Powder that he had prepared a few days ago. After preparing everything, he slowly walked out and headed towards the Wangshu Inn.

After Xiao solved some troubles and was walking back, he sensed a familiar scent and rushed back to Wangshu Inn. He saw the human-incarnated Emperor and the chef Yan Xiao chatting happily.

After Yan Xiao finished chatting with a customer ordering food, Zhongli slowly walked up to the top floor of Wangshu Inn. Xiao immediately appeared and asked the Emperor if he had anything important to tell him.

result--

"Alas, some facts are really too much for me to cope with..." Zhongli sighed.

A Hutao and a Su are both people who occasionally give him a headache.

"What is the emperor worried about?" Could it be that another demon has broken free from his seal and is preparing to cause trouble during the festive occasion? The recent movements in the Stratum Abyss have also made people very concerned. Or have the Fatui arranged a new conspiracy?

No matter what kind of difficulties and dangers the situation is, Xiao is willing to share the worries for the Emperor.

"Ah, that's right. The master asked me to buy the best sesame oil for the festival."

Master Hu Tao has issued a variety of purchasing requirements to his idle but capable subordinate, but the current purchasing progress of this subordinate is 0.

A question mark appeared on Xiao's head.

Then why did the Emperor walk all the way to Wangshu Inn? They don't sell seasonings here.

Could it be that this sesame oil is not really sesame oil, but a code name for some troublesome monster?

"I had a chat with the chef of the inn and asked for some seasonings, and..." Zhongli showed the basket to Xiao, pointing at the items inside and introducing them one by one with great interest: "Look at this matsutake mushroom and this ham, they are all excellent ingredients."

Zhongli showed Xiao the finest ingredients and seasonings with great satisfaction. These were low-yield good things that were hard to buy even with money.

elf:"······"

So sesame oil really just refers to sesame oil?

But there is no trace of sesame oil in this basket.

Ever since the Emperor transformed into a mortal, such casual conversations have increased a lot, but he still... can't get used to it.

"I came here this time to bring you some soup." Zhongli took out the basket of pickled pork with preserved vegetables, "This soup tastes pretty good, and Su Xiaoyou especially likes it."

"Su She..." So Su met the Emperor today?

Xiao wanted to ask the Emperor how the girl felt, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that he was the one who had the least right to care about Su.

He repeatedly let her down, pushing her away in this way.

Although he did this to protect her, his actions were also hurting her.

He has been a soldier for too long, and even though the war has ended for many years, the smell of battle still rekindles in his dreams.

The happy time he had spent with them before was an indulgence of his weakness.

He didn't want to, and couldn't, let the scenes he saw when his karma struck become reality.

"She is very worried about whether you are feeling unwell or in a bad mood." Zhongli took out another thing he brought for Xiao, "Remember to take this Lianli Zhenxin Powder after meals. It has been seasoned and is sweet. Remember not to drink tea after taking it, so as not to affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Xiao took the Lianli Zhenxin Powder, which could relieve the discomfort after the onset of karma, and remained silent.

Zhongli patted Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Cherish each other's fate and time, and try not to have any regrets." The Traveler Team will leave Liyue soon.

Xiao was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I...get it."

——*——*——

"I want to digest the food after I'm full!" Paimeng touched his stomach contentedly and suggested that everyone take a walk together and then go back to the pot to rest.

Su looked around the bustling Xiaoshi with many food stalls, "Walking here to digest the food? I'm afraid your stomach will explode when you return to the pot."

Paimeng had a full dinner, but could he resist the temptation of the snacks on the street?

All she would say is, “Snacks are made with another stomach.”

"Snacks, snacks are stored in another stomach!" Paimeng argued confidently, but he compromised in the face of Su Hekong's speechless eyes, "Then let's go for a walk at the pier. There are no snack stands there."

There were indeed no snack stalls at the dock. Even the stalls selling fish on weekdays were closed. Only the big ships that had brought back many imported goods from long voyages were unloading their cargoes.

Among the sailors busy around the ship, the group of travelers saw a familiar face.

"Beidou?! Why are you busy yourself?" Paimeng looked around for a long time and found that Beidou was the only one moving things on the big ship, and there was no subordinate in sight.

"Are you...bankrupt?" Su's expression was serious.

Then when she suggested that Manye give the cat to Beidou to raise, did that increase Beidou's burden?

"Hahahaha, it's you guys. I'm not bankrupt!" Beidou laughed heartily. "It's the holidays now. The crew members have been with me all year round and it's hard for them to go home. I've given them holidays these days so they can go home and visit their families."

"I see," Paimon thought Beidou was a really good captain, "Why don't you give yourself a break? Won't you get bored working alone?"

Beidou really couldn't take a break, after all, she had a wanted criminal named Inazuma on board to worry about. But in response to the young people's concern, she changed her words.

"Hahahaha, how can I be bored? Someone invited me to play chess yesterday. If I want to play, I can go up anytime."

"Go up? Where to?" Paimeng was puzzled.

"Come to my Qun Yu Pavilion." An elegant voice sounded from behind everyone, "Everyone, long time no see."

"Ningguang?!" Paimeng felt that this wealthy lady and the messy dock scene did not match at all.

"Qiankun Mora meat, my specialty." Ningguang took out a simple and filling meal from the food box. Although it was prepared for Beidou, she made a lot of it so that the traveler team could also taste it.

“Thank you!” Paimeng was about to take it with a smile on his face when he heard Su cough, “…Thank you for your kindness. I won’t eat it…”

She really wants to taste it, but she is so full...

Su was really worried that Paimon’s stomach would burst, “Thank you, we’re full and can’t eat anymore now.”

"Have you just had dinner? I'll invite you to taste my cooking again when I have the chance." Ningguang stuffed the entire Mora meat box to Beidou, and gave the chess game she had been carrying with her to Su.

“This ‘Liyue Millennium’ is an adaptation of the traditional chess game rules.” Ningguang was very excited when talking about this chess game that she had continuously adapted and refined.

"The background of this set is the battle against Osel, with one player playing the role of the guardian of Liyue Harbor and the other playing the role of the Fatui. Collecting this chess set is like collecting a piece of history."

“Look, these are your images.” Ningguang picked out a few chess pieces that were exquisitely shaped like miniature dolls. “They are powerful characters on the Guardian side.”

"This set is a trial collector's edition. I'll give it to you as a souvenir. I wish you all the best in Inazuma."

"I haven't had the chance to tell them yet!" Beidou swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at the woman who was stealing the show.

"After some time after the festival, the fleet will set off for Inazuma," the situation on Inazuma's side is becoming more and more critical. Manye must go back to help the rebels, and she also has an additional mission.

"I'm telling you in advance so you can prepare for the trip. I'll let you know the exact time of departure." Beidou said with a smile, "The Lantern Festival only comes once a year, so you should enjoy it to the fullest!"
