Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"Oh... So it's the Emperor's aura. I thought it was something else--"

Paimeng had just said half of his words when the indifferent expression on his face froze instantly. He then asked in disbelief:

"What what what?! Do you think Chang Ming has the aura of an emperor?!"

"It's true."

The two of them nodded in unison, their serious expressions not seeming to be joking.

But it is obvious that Ying and Paimon cannot understand their seriousness.

——Because they are not from Liyue, nor are they immortals, and they have never experienced anything like this before!

They certainly didn't know what this meant.

As if realizing this, Paimon spread his hands and asked curiously:

"So, what does it mean that Chang Ming has the aura of the Emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, the two immortals were stunned, and then they sighed in unison. Finally, Jie Hu, that is, Li Shui Die Shan Zhen Jun, explained:

"Rather than saying it's the Emperor's aura, it's more like a mark the Emperor made for some special people."

“In the past few thousand years, only a few people have come to Liyue and been marked by the Emperor himself.”

"And all these marked people have one thing in common—they possess power that rivals that of gods."

"what?!"

Paimon's eyes suddenly widened, and he was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.

Although I witnessed the whole process of Chang Ming beating Ying down last time, isn’t this too... exaggerated?

How long has it been? Chang Ming has already gained power that rivals that of a god?

Or...is this the horror of fairies?

"Wait! But Chang Ming is a good guy! He is the regent of Fontaine, not some guy with unknown origins. How could he be marked by Zhongli?"

Paimeng didn't quite understand for a moment. At least in her opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Chang Ming to do anything to threaten Liyue when he came here.

What's more, he has Funina by his side, so it's even more impossible for him to attack Liyue, right?

Looking at the shocked Paimeng in front of him, Master Lishui Dieshan smiled gently, and then explained:

"Paimon, you misunderstood."

"The Emperor's mark is not for us to be careful or pay attention to this person, but for us to communicate with him as much as possible and build a more stable relationship."

"Making more friends like this will only bring benefits, no harm, to us immortals with the power of the Three Eyes and Five Manifestations, as well as to the current Liyue Harbor."

Having said that, Master Lishuidieshan paused for a moment, and then expressed another guess.

"Perhaps just like the death of Hagentus, the 'Demon of Dust', the Emperor may want to meet him in person."

As if he was afraid that the two people in front of him would have unnecessary worries and misunderstandings, Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun also added:

"Don't worry. If Mr. Chang Ming is really in any danger... the Emperor will handle it himself. There is no way he will leave anything like a mark behind."

Hearing this, Paimon let out a long sigh, and a huge stone in his heart instantly fell to the ground.

After all, this situation is quite difficult for them to deal with.

Whether it was the immortals of Liyue or Zhongli, or Chang Ming and Funina, they were all friends of himself and Ying.

If a conflict occurs between two parties due to some misunderstanding, then those who are caught in the middle will definitely have the hardest time.

But since Master Lishuidieshan has said so, they can put their minds at ease for the time being.

"So that's how it is, but..."

Paimeng's gaze moved back and forth between Hou Zhang and Jie Hu, and he finally asked that question.

"It's easy to say about Lishui and Dieshan, but how did you get into the city? Aren't you always embarrassed?"

After hearing this, the originally silent Master Xueyue Zhuyang fell into complete silence.

Lishui Dieshan heaved a long sigh, and soon he and Master Xueyue Zhuyang said in unison:

“It’s really helpless...”

"Eh?"

Paimon looked at the two people in front of him with some surprise, as if he didn't quite understand what they were saying.

"Ever since Liu Yun came to Liyue Harbor, the mountains have become quieter, day by day."

"The Lantern Festival is approaching, and we thought Liu Yun would explain this year's arrangements in advance, but we haven't seen any trace of her until today."

"As the saying goes, 'If the mountains don't move, the water will move.' Since all our friends are now in Liyue Harbor, the two of us can only transform into human form and travel together to the city to find Liuyun."

Having said that, Lishui Dieshan slightly turned his head to look at Xueyue Zhuyang who was standing beside him, and he sighed and said:

"Just now I heard you all talking about something... mechanical kites. We have already guessed the current situation. I think we should go back home..."

"Eh? Aren't you going to look for Master Liuyunjiefeng?"

Jie Hu nodded slightly and then said:

"Paimeng doesn't know, judging from Liuyun's personality...she must have been angry recently."

"Liu Yun is arrogant and thinks his mechanical skills are as good as others. He will never easily accept this imported mechanical device."

"I guess she is currently closing the door to visitors and concentrating on studying her own Piaojin creation... We won't bother ourselves."

"But if you happen to meet Liu Yun in the next few days, please give us a greeting."

Hearing this, Paimon nodded in understanding, and finally said:

"That's fine, then I wish you two a happy Lantern Festival. It would be nice to take a look at the current scenery of Liyue Harbor on the way~"

I wish you all a happy National Day~
