Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing Ying's long and difficult sentence, Chang Ming was a little...surprised for a moment.

In the past, Paimon always did it for her, but now...she can say such long and difficult sentences herself?

However, despite the accident, Chang Ming still did not lose the demeanor of a regent.

After briefly exchanging greetings with Old Lu and Manor Master Luo, he prepared to leave Qiaoying Manor with Funina, Ying and the others.

"Then... Mr. Lu, we will leave first. If there are no problems in the investigation related to the big tea kettle... please be sure to inform us in time."

"During this period of time, we will also try to walk around Chenyu Valley as much as possible to find out where the problem of water and soil imbalance comes from."

Hearing this, Old Lu nodded with a smile on his face, and then said:

"In that case... then I suggest that you all investigate at Yilongbu."

"It's very close to the upstream of the water source, and there are ancient relics left by immortals on the road. No matter what Lao Luo said... "angering the immortals" or "water and soil imbalance", we can investigate it."

"but..."

Old Lu shook his head gently, and then continued:

"But I don't think it's because of "angering the immortal". After all, the immortal Fujin helped our ancestors clear a lot of monsters and troubles."

"How could such a gentle and powerful person punish us?"

"Eh? Immortal Fujin?"

Paimeng looked at the old Lu in front of him with some surprise, and showed an interest in these old stories.

Old Lu laughed, and then began to speak leisurely, just like an old man telling a story to a child:

"A long, long time ago, Qiaoying Manor was just a desolate mountain and wilderness, inhabited by extremely terrifying demons."

"If it weren't for Immortal Fujin who drove away all those demons, this place wouldn't be like this now."

"Since then, the Immortal Fujin has planted tea trees here and brought our ancestors to settle here."

"There is a Lantern Festival in Liyue Harbor to commemorate the immortals who gave everything for Liyue. Naturally, we also have the "Tea Ceremony" in our Chenyu Valley to commemorate the immortal Fujin."

"Ah, this year's tea is not even good enough to be used as a commodity, so how can it be used in the ceremony?"

"I just hope Immortal Fu Jin won't blame me..."

Old Lu sighed, then looked at the people in front of him and said:

"Regarding the imbalance of water and soil... I'll leave it to you all."

......

After a brief chat with Old Lu, Chang Ming led everyone out of Qiaoying Manor.

"Phew...I finally passed the test successfully!"

Paimon let out a long sigh, as if he was very satisfied with his impromptu performance.

Chang Ming nodded without comment, and then said:

"The next thing is to investigate in Chenyu Valley, but... that's the problem."

"Immortal Fujin didn't tell us the core of the problem. He only talked about the problem of water and soil. Now we have some clues."

"I'll leave the investigation and notification to you two. I plan to look for some more specific ancient books for reference. Maybe I can find more information."

Having said that, Chang Ming paused for a moment, then continued:

"With the help of the inspection and repair, and with the help of Manor Master Luo who is not very receptive to the term 'water and soil imbalance', we still have a lot of time to solve this problem."

"This is roughly the current situation. Do you have any other ideas?"

Hearing this, Ying and Paimon looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.

"Then let's meet at the entrance of Xinyuexuan tomorrow morning~"

Paimeng waved to Chang Ming and Funina, then followed Ying and walked quickly towards Yilongbu.

It looks like...they really want to solve the problem directly.

After watching them leave, Chang Ming looked at Funina who was in deep thought and asked softly:

"Fu Fu? What's wrong? Did you find any problem?"

Furninna shook her head slightly and then said:

"It's not that there's a problem...but it feels a little suspicious..."

"If it is Fontaine's machine, why hasn't the owner of Manor Luo found someone to repair it? The tea picking season has been over for a long time, right?"

"The same goes for the Immortal Fujin we met earlier. He always feels different from what is described in the legend?"

"The sudden imbalance of water and soil caused the taste of tea to deteriorate... This is really a bit weird..."

Funina imitated Chang Ming and gently supported her chin with her hand, then gently shook her head.

"Alas... there is simply too little information. Otherwise, we wouldn't be kept in the dark like we are now."

Furninna shrugged slightly and said:

"So what should we do now? Should we go back to Liyue Harbor directly? This place... doesn't seem to be far from Liyue Harbor?"

As Furninna spoke, she slightly raised her head and looked towards the sky, looking at the sun that was slightly tilted towards the west from the center, as if hinting at something.

Chang Ming immediately understood what his little blue cake was thinking, and then he smiled and nodded.

——Since the previous date with her was interrupted, it would be good to get back together with her.

......

While Chang Ming and Funina were having a walking date in Chenyu Valley, Zhongli and Hu Tao were packing their things, planning to go to Yilong Port for a few days before the Lantern Festival.

"Zhongli Zhongli! Have you been to the Heyu Teahouse to listen to the new storyteller? I see the teahouse's business is much better than before."

Hu Tao looked at Zhongli, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, with some excitement, as if he cared a lot about this matter.

After all...for Hu Tao, the best and most important thing is to bring more business to Wangsheng Hall.

Zhongli smiled softly, and then said softly:

"That storyteller... I haven't been there to listen to him yet, but Mr. Feng has become quite famous recently. If the hall master likes it... you can go and listen to him."

As Zhongli spoke, he slowly stood up, looked at the sun outside the window, estimated the time, and then said softly:

"But it may not work today, otherwise we will miss the carriage to Chenyu Valley."
