Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

For most players, Liyue has always been a very special place.

The festival activities in other countries have never been repeated, but the Sea Lantern Festival has different activities every year.

Look, isn’t this year’s flower activity here?

The people of Fontaine came to Liyue to celebrate the Lantern Festival together, and the people who were previously in Mondstadt also came to Liyue because they liked the hustle and bustle.

Although they may have other purposes, or their purposes may not be so simple, they are here, it's that simple.

Thinking of this, a thoughtful look appeared on Ye Zhi's face, as if he was pondering something.

"It's impossible that Wendy and Zhongli both went there because of something that happened in Chenyu Valley..."

"I can understand Zhongli, but what about Wendy? What did the incident with Chen Yugu and Silong have to do with him from beginning to end?"

The thoughtful look on Ye Zhi's face gradually turned into confusion. She found that... the information she knew now was too little and not enough to support her to draw any conclusions.

Based on the basic idea of ​​"never making blind guesses without basis", Yeats finally gave up thinking about this point.

"Forget it, forget it. Many things can't be pushed aside at all. Wendy's appearance is quite abrupt. She can't be here just for Chang Ming, right?"

"If you really came to Liyue just for Chang Ming... then I can only say that Chang Ming might become a cyber succubus. Why do people everywhere have a special liking for him?"

At this moment, Ye Zhi was complaining and clicking the mouse, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the current situation.

No one likes to be left hanging by a big suspense, but it is precisely because of this suspense that people will be interested in what follows.

......

Early the next morning, Ying and Paimon took Wendy and headed towards Chenyu Valley.

Perhaps because of the presence of Barbatos, the god of wind, along the way... Ying felt quite brisk, as if walking was effortless.

She looked at Wendy beside her thoughtfully, and Wendy said "Hey" and didn't explain any more.

Paimon, on the other hand, had a completely different style. She didn't care whether there was a Wendy beside her or whether she was flying faster. She only cared about what she felt.

Looking at the green mountains and clear waters in front of him, Paimeng took a deep breath, and then said with some sighs:

"Ah... I don't know if it's my illusion or what, but the air in the mountains is so fresh, and I feel like I won't get tired even if I keep walking like this..."

After saying that, Paimeng turned to look at Ying beside him and asked curiously:

"Ying, you said the air in the mountains has become so good, could it be due to our contribution?"

Hearing this, Ying nodded without comment, but did not give any further explanation.

After all, the direction in which Fu Jin changes the environment is the direction that humans adapt to, so it is normal to feel the fresh air.

"Eh? It seems that you have had another great adventure during this period of time? Can you tell me about it?"

"This kind of story is usually the best material for adapting into poetry. I am the best bard in the world. You will not lose out if you tell me!"

Wendy's emerald eyes suddenly shone with curiosity, as if she was extremely curious about the origin of the "merit" they were talking about.

Ying glanced at the somewhat frivolous bard beside her and nodded slightly.

Anyway, we are still some distance away from Yilonbu, so we might as well chat to kill time.

"...Cream--Fudge--Bubble Orange--!"

Before Ying could speak, a lively female voice came from the mountains not far away, as if she was calling out to someone.

A series of question marks immediately appeared on Paimeng's little head, and then he looked at Ying beside him and asked:

"Eh? Ying, did you hear anything?"

"...Good mountains - good water - good mood -!"

"I heard it. There are Bubble Orange and a good mood."

The corners of Ying's mouth twitched slightly, as if she didn't know what to say about the voice.

In a sense, apart from the fact that the format is a little neater, the rest of these two sentences cannot be said to be unrelated, but can only be said to be completely irrelevant.

"Uh...it seems that it's not my illusion? And why do I feel that this voice is a little familiar..."

Paimon scratched his little head, as if trying to find a relatively reasonable explanation.

Wendy blinked her big eyes at this moment and said in disbelief:

"No way? I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a year, you already know so many people? Do you run into people you know wherever you go?"

Hearing this, Paimon frowned slightly and a strange look appeared on his face.

She always felt that Wendy was hinting at something, but she had no evidence, so she could only speak unhappily:

"Of course. Meeting Mondstadt's drunkard poet at the table at the Liyue Hotel is proof enough of that!"

"Hey~"

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Paimon looked at the obviously frivolous guy beside him with some shock. After finishing that rather classic dialogue, he ignored him and turned his attention to Ying beside him.

"Well... since that's the case, why don't you go over and take a look? We have plenty of time today anyway."

In response, Ying quickly nodded in agreement, then she and Paimon walked towards the mountains where the strange noise had just been heard.

"Huh? You guys are just leaving like this? Wait for me!"

......

Following the direction of the shouting, Ying, Paimon and Wendy climbed up the mountain.

Of course, the familiar shouting did not stop while they were climbing the mountain.

As for the contents...most of them are ingredients like "almonds" and "cocoa butter", which sound very delicious.

The owner of the voice also sounded very happy, and your and Paimon's steps became brisker, and soon you reached a high point.

Looking at the two figures, one yellow and one purple, Paimon's eyes suddenly widened, as if he found it a little... unbelievable that the two of them appeared here.

But even though I was shocked, it still felt good to meet old friends in a place like this.

"Navia! Clorinde!"

Paimon waved his little hand, as if to greet them both.

Navia and Clorinde also saw them, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Oh! Isn't this my good partner and my good partner's good partner!"

"Look, I told you that good things would happen if you go out today, right? The divination column in the Steambird Newspaper is sometimes quite accurate~"

Looking at Navia in front of her, Clorinde sighed slightly, and then ruthlessly exposed:

"The steam bird newspaper on board is from half a month ago."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Navia blinked her big misty blue eyes, seemingly innocent, but soon she waved her hand and continued:

"Don't worry about it. We are lucky today! It didn't rain in Chenyu Valley, and we met old friends, didn't we?"

Hearing this, Clorinde pursed her lips helplessly, then nodded in agreement.

Sometimes she envied Navia's personality.

Seeing Clorinde nod in agreement, Navia also nodded with a smile, and then turned to the three people in front of her and said:

"Are you also traveling here to take advantage of Liyue's festival? Happy Lantern Festival~"

After saying this, Navia blinked slightly, looked at Wendy standing next to Ying with some curiosity and asked:

"Oh, by the way, my good partner, who is this person next to you...?"

"Hello, beautiful lady. My name is Wendy. I am a bard from Mondstadt. I am also traveling to Liyue this time~"

"Ah~ Hello Mr. Wendy, it seems that the traveler does have a wide network of contacts~"

Hearing this, Paimon nodded with a smile, as if accepting Navia's compliment, and then changed the topic and asked:

"But you're talking about traveling... why are you all in the mountains? There aren't many people here..."

"Also, could the shouting we just heard down there be...Navia's shouting?"

Paimon's words did not make Navia feel embarrassed, but made her very... happy?

The girl put her hands on her hips, nodded approvingly and continued:

"Oh~ As expected of you, you can hear it from such a distance!"

"Ah, no, no, no, it's not that we have good hearing, but rather that Navia's voice is too loud..."

"Yeah, boss, this is what I am like!"

Navia nodded happily, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what she shouted.

After all, the labels of "optimism" and "positive" are engraved in Navia's bones. Without these two things... I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to survive the three years after Cares' death.

Clorinde and Paimon also agreed with this.

“Indeed, this can be considered an advantage.”

"Yes, that is indeed an advantage. The loud voice makes it easy to communicate!"

After saying this, Paimeng was suddenly stunned, and then said strangely:

"Uh no, that's not the point, right?"

"I want to ask, why are you shouting so loudly on this deserted mountain?"

"What almonds... bubble oranges... is this a secret code?"

Paimon touched his chin thoughtfully, as if he was reasoning about something unimaginable.

Hearing this, Wendy smiled slightly. It was finally his turn to enter the field he was familiar with!

He cleared his throat, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and then he said:

"Ahem, Paimon may not know this, right? Many poets in Liyue, including the bards in Mondstadt, have this habit, right?"

"When you see beautiful scenery, when you hear amazing stories, when you feel sad about your promotion or demotion, when you miss your loved ones, you can't help but feel sentimental, right?"

"Although everyone expresses emotions in different ways, I think... Miss Navia is simply praising the beautiful scenery, right? After all, she just said "beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, and a good mood" or something like that?"

After hearing Wendy's words, the girl, who was still thinking about how to explain, suddenly had her eyes light up, and then she said with a smile:

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling."

"Well... Isn't it often the case that mountain climbers feel this way: after going through so much hardship to reach the top of the mountain, facing the vast beauty, it is hard to suppress the urge to express one's feelings out loud..."

Hearing this, Ying nodded as if suddenly realizing, and then gave a very appropriate description.

"I see. So there are 'very meaningful lyrics' and 'lyrical content that has no meaning'."

"Yeah, that's right! You are indeed my good partner. You understand me!"

Navia smiled and nodded, then as if she suddenly thought of something, she continued to add:

"I was afraid of disturbing others, so I asked the local residents in advance. They said it was no big deal. After all, climbers like to shout a few times on the top of the mountain, and everyone is used to it."

"So you see, in one's life, one has to shout from the mountaintops a few times."

"That's right, sometimes I also like to go to the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain and yell."

Wendy also nodded in agreement with a smile.

Hearing this, Ying and Paimon's expressions instantly became a little strange.

Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain...is that place, that environment, really a suitable place to scream?

Wouldn't it be that if I made the slightest noise, two Hillichule Frost Armor Kings would rush up and elbow me?

Wouldn't it be possible that if I showed a little bit of vitality, the Hillichurl Shaman would attack me with icy spikes?

Isn't it possible that an avalanche would occur if the noise was a little louder?

Oh, he is the God of Wind, that’s okay.

Thinking of this, Ying and Paimeng were immediately relieved.

After all, Wendy is the god of wind, and he is not afraid of any unexpected situations.

"Oh! Snowy mountains! If I have the chance, I must go and see them!"

Navia's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had a special yearning for the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

"Hey, Miss Navia, you are welcome to come to Mondstadt to play when the time comes~"

A slight smile also appeared on Wendy's face, as if she was the tour guide who had completed the tourism KPI.

Looking at this unreliable and lazy god, the corners of Paimeng's mouth twitched slightly, as if it was difficult for him to evaluate.

"Oh, by the way, Navia, Clorinde, have you seen Chang Ming? We have to send him something."

Hearing this, Navia blinked slightly, seeming a little surprised.

"Eh? Are you looking for Mr. Chang Ming? Um... I only have the address of the inn where he and Lady Funina are staying. I don't know where he is exactly."

"Is that so...Okay, we got it! Thank you, Navia~"

Paimon nodded his head quickly, and a basic plan had already formed in his mind.

Zhongli and Hutao are both together, and considering the specialness of Chang Ming...Zhongli must be nearby!

So as long as we find Chang Ming, it is equivalent to finding Zhongli!

This will not only allow her and Ying to meet Zhongli and Hutao to reminisce the past, but also allow her to complete the task entrusted to them by Fu Jin and take Wendy to find Zhongli!

Chang Ming, a brand new Zhongli searcher

Looking at the little Paimon who was thinking in front of her, Navia smiled gently, and then said calmly:

"You're welcome~ Then go find Mr. Chang Ming. Clorinde and I will stay here for a while."

"If possible, we can meet again at the foot of the mountain later~"

Ying nodded in a mature manner, as if he was imitating the way of speaking of the True Lord Lishui Dieshan.

"No, no, no."
