On a sunny morning, vendors are hawking along the street.

"Hey?! The traveler in front, please stay!"

Ying, who was about to go to the Adventurer's Association in Liyue Port to pick up the mission, was suddenly stopped.

"It's her!" Paimon recognized the person running towards them at a glance. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Paimon always felt that the woman had a yellow spot on her head.

The woman ran over panting, her feet were covered with mud, and it looked like she had just returned from the outside.

Probably afraid that Pimeng and Ying would not recognize her, the woman asked eagerly, "Do you remember me?"

"Of course I remember. Last time you asked us to buy cloud apples and gave us a lot of moras." Paimon said with a happy smile. She remembered so many moras so clearly that she was looking at the apples outside. You have to look twice more to see if it is an apple in the clouds.

Paimon felt that he was going to become an expert in apple identification.

"Yes, it was me. At that time, there was an astrologer who ate all the apples in the clouds." Thinking of the last time, the woman still remembered the wailing of the foreign astrologer with twin ponytails.

"I think the two of you are going to the Adventurer's Association, right? Since I have accepted the task, I would like to ask you two to help send pensions to some immortals." Making a request gesture, the woman explained, "I want to go with my junior sister I really don’t have the time to go to the mountains to do research together.”

She misremembered the date, and when she realized it in the morning, she didn't even have time to shirk and help with the pension, so she hurried to the Adventurer's Association to see if she could meet someone who was willing to accept this. Difficult task.

"Pension? Immortal?" Paimon showed a surprised expression, "I never thought that in Liyue, an immortal would still have a pension."

"Hehehe." The woman who shifted her gaze laughed a few times, but did not answer.

Ying stared at the woman, and chose the latter between being very suspicious and accepting the task, "I can accept it." She was quite interested in this fairy's pension.

Seeing the traveler's promise, Paimon happily agreed, "Yeah, with the traveler here, it will be done."

"Then thank you all. Here is the list. I will give pensions to the two immortals. As for Mora, just take the card I gave you before and go to the General Affairs Department to ask for it." The list was handed over to the traveler, and then he ran away quickly.

Paimon looked at the back of the woman leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but make a suggestion, "Then we might as well ask Xiaoyu first, maybe she controls the pension paid to the immortals." Said, "Well, let's see who the retired fairy written on the note is first."

Nodding her head, Ying was equally interested. In Paimon's anticipation, she opened the note with her name on it, and the first one was Qing Zhongli, the past guest.

"There is Zhongli?!" Paimon exclaimed, she thought that Zhongli was earning money by selling his knowledge, but he actually had a pension.

Soon Paimeng thought of the second question, and she asked her mother worriedly, "Is there really no problem with the retirement pension of the Emperor Yanwang?"

Ying also recovered from the shock, she and Paimon looked at each other, and both could read the worry in each other's eyes.

One must know that Zhong Li had finally stepped down from the position of Emperor Yan Wang, and if this secret was exposed, his hard work would be in vain.

"Let's go find Xiaoyu to see how much she knows." Ying then ran towards the pier, Paimon flew beside her, not even caring about the smell of grilled tiger fish. Or buy two for breakfast.

Taking a short cut from the Adventurer's Association, Daoying and Paimeng soon came to the side of Xiaoyu, the general affairs secretary, just as Yan Fei was talking to her.

"Is it Yan Fei? Did she also come here for the pension?" Paimon didn't know Yan Fei's age, but she must be several hundred years old.

By the way, how is the immortal's pension calculated?Paimon asked the reason for being so clear, and wanted to know if she and the traveler announced their retirement, could they get a pension in Liyue, so that they would not have to work so hard.

Although they don't seem to be immortals...

"It's a traveler." Yan Fei noticed Ying's arrival, and greeted with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet you here."

Paimon replied with his hands behind his back, "We are here to help the immortal get a pension." As for who it was, she didn't say.

"Retirement money?" Yan Fei blinked, and she looked at the traveler, "A man named Han Zhuo invited you to ask for it?"

Cold?The traveler took out the note again to confirm, the one under Zhongli's name was indeed Han Zhuo.

At this time, the traveler saw a few stones painted behind Qing Zhongli, the guest of the past life hall, and behind the name of the migrant snake in the sea of ​​clouds was a crooked blue snake spitting out letters.

"It's him." Ying put her hand on her chest and replied sincerely.

Yan Fei sighed, "I'm also entrusted by Mr. Han Zhuo, and I'm here to ask for his pension this year." Turning her head, she looked at the traveler full of hope, "Then did you get the hands with cloud patterns?" Is there a card? If there is, I won’t go back and get it.”

Just because she forgot to take the cards, she discussed with this general affairs department to see if she could replace the cards with a contract.

From a procedural point of view, this is in line with the law, because the contract can prove that Mr. Han Zhuo has indeed entrusted her.

But Xiaoyu, who is in charge of the general affairs department, disagreed. She said that today someone would take a hand card to get two pensions, one of which was also cold.

Yan Fei could prove that Han Zhuo had indeed entrusted her to receive the pension on her behalf, but it could not prove that it was another immortal.

If Yan Fei is taken away now, Xiao Yu can't explain why there is only one pension when the person holding the card comes over.

"So do you have any cards?" Xiao Yu asked cautiously.

"Yes, and we want to get two pensions this time, and another immortal needs it too." Paimon still didn't say anything about Zhongli.

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right." After speaking, she took out two wallets filled with Mora and handed them to the traveler.

"Thank you very much." Seeing that the problem was solved, Yan Fei thanked the traveler, and offered as a thank you that if Ying and Paimeng hadn't been to the Sea of ​​Clouds, then she could lead the way.

Paimon immediately agreed, and Ying also agreed.

"Speaking of which, the name Yunhaijian seems to have been heard somewhere." Paimon found that Yan Fei did not walk towards the city of Liyue Port, but led them to the sea. She suspected that she would swim next.

"If it's that kind of fairyland, do we have to help clean it?"

Standing by the sea, Yan Fei took a deep breath of the brackish air, and led the travelers to an unremarkable boat.

"Uncle Cheng." Yan Fei greeted politely.

The boatman who covered his face with a straw hat lazily got up, and after seeing who it was, his fatigue disappeared and he became very enthusiastic, "Isn't this Yan Fei? Are you going to play in the sea of ​​clouds again?"

Shaking his head, Yan Fei replied, "No, this time I'm giving Mr. Han Zhuo a pension together with two friends."

Hearing that Old Man Cheng looked at Ying who was behind Yan Fei and Paimon who was floating in the air, he said embarrassedly, "Didn't uncle ask more, little girl, do you have any cards in hand?"

"Yes." Ying took out the hand card from her backpack.

As a result, after the inspection, Old Man Cheng came over and invited them to board the boat without asking any further questions.

"Be careful." Paimon, who witnessed the whole process, raised his hand, and was even more curious about Yun Hai Jian and that Mr. Han Zhuo.

After boarding the boat, beyond Paimon and Ying's expectations, Old Man Cheng rowed the oars to the middle of the sea far away from Liyue Harbor. Then he let go of the oars, and the whole boat sank quickly.

Paimeng, who didn't respond, let out a nervous sound and fell into the water, and Ying even held on to the side of the boat because of the sudden drop.

Huge bubbles under the water envelop the hull, no need to swim, and no accidents.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Yan Fei, who is used to it, comforted her, "I was quite shocked when I came here for the first time, but it will be fine with more repetitions."

The boat went deeper and deeper, and when it reached a certain point, Shen Ying couldn't help but raise his head, the sea surface reflected a faint blue light, and there were schools of fish of various colors swimming carefree, and suddenly they slowly swam past the giant whale to disperse them. school of fish.

The giant whale has a white belly, like a cloud in the sea.

Seeing the dreamy scenery, Paimon couldn't help sighing, "It's so beautiful, is the Dragon Palace among the clouds?"

"No, Yunhaijian was originally in the mountains. Later, due to the war of the demon god, we Yun people moved to Liyue Port. Times have changed, and many Yun people have integrated into Liyue like other demon god's people and become Liyue people."

"But there are also many cloud people, like my parents, who still miss their original life, so the gods we believe in rebuilt the sea of ​​clouds on the bottom of the sea, so as to ease everyone's homesickness." Uncle Cheng said in a nostalgic tone It seems like a very old story.

"Yunhaijian is Liyue's largest planting base of sweet flowers and colorful flowers." Yan Fei described Yunhaijian to travelers from a commercial perspective, "Most of the sugar in Quantiwat comes from Yunhaijian."

As for the neon clothes and flowers, they belonged to commercial secrets. It was hard to say about Yan Fei, but this was the secret to the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's dominance in the silk field.

"Wow, the creator of the sea of ​​clouds must be very rich!" Paimon's eyes lit up, and she seemed to see an underwater fairyland like a golden house full of golden moras.

The boat landed in place and began to move forward, and before long the cloud-shrouded city on the seabed appeared before their eyes.

This is far more prosperous than Paimon imagined.

Passing through a layer of barriers, the boat landed on the gurgling stream at the edge of Sea of ​​Clouds. Yan Fei invited the travelers to disembark, while Old Man Cheng told them to come to Sea of ​​Clouds to play more when they had time.

"Then let's go to Mr. Han Zhuo first, and I want to ask him if he wants to renew his contract with me for another 50 years." The down-to-earth Yan Fei didn't have time to appreciate the scenery of the fairyland.

Paimon said with wide eyes, "50 years?!"

"We have cooperated for hundreds of years. When I was a trainee lawyer, Mr. Han Zhuo went to court to ask for a pension in 2000. This is unheard of in Liyue, because there is no such thing as retirement for immortals. concept, not to mention asking for a pension." Speaking of this, Yan Fei thought of her father.

After she told her father about this, the immortal who fought in all directions remained silent for a long time, as if he was calculating how much pension he could get.

"I later found out that it was Han Zhuo's employer who thought that Liyue's laws were flawed. She saw too many immortals coming to the mortal world and could not live normally without Mora, so she asked Mr. Han Zhuo to sue her. This is to promote legislation.” It is through this lawsuit that Yan Fei made her reputation.

"Why did that employer do this?" Ying felt puzzled.

Regarding the traveler's question, Yan Fei chose her words carefully, "Cases often promote the updating and establishment of laws more quickly. As far as I know, the employer has made many suggestions to Seven Stars through formal channels, but none of them have been adopted. , she was unwilling to take shortcuts, so she did so."

"Actually, that employer is the creator of Yun Haijian, so she doesn't mind being a defendant. Maybe being a defendant is a new thing for her." Speaking of this, Yan Fei added one more sentence, "Later It was also the employer who promised that she and Liyue would share the immortal's pension, and she contributed most of it."

"So the creator of Sea of ​​Clouds is really rich. It feels richer than Ningguang, and he can give pensions to immortals." Paimeng said enviously.

At this time, she and the traveler had entered the core area between the sea of ​​clouds.

This place is completely different from Liyue Inazumamond and other cities. Cableways and elevators can be seen everywhere, and all kinds of buildings are built on the mountain. Beautiful signboards can be seen everywhere. I don’t know what those signboards are made of. It can reveal Yingying lighting, and most of the contents on the signboard are research institutes.

Although there are also many restaurants and canteens.

What really shocked Ying and Paimeng was the translucent apple tree projected by a light in the middle of the sea of ​​clouds. Because it was so novel, they completely forgot about the legal matter discussed just now.

"By the way, that is Mr. Han Zhuo!"

Following Yan Fei's words, Ying looked over and saw a well-dressed man setting up a stall on the street.

"Do immortals also need to make money?" Paimeng spread his hands, he couldn't help but sympathize with Mr. Han Zhuo, and at the same time he also understood why Zhongli didn't have a Mora, and even immortals had to set up a stall to earn Mora, let alone the Emperor Yan.

Yan Fei shook her head lightly, "No, Mr. Han Zhuo has many shops in good locations in Liyue, and later he found that opening a shop is not as profitable as renting a house, so he simply rented out the house." In terms of financial management, Yan Fei had to Admire her regular customer.

"What else can I do." After hearing Yan Fei's words, Paimeng suddenly felt that he was not qualified to sympathize with Han Zhuo.

When he came to the cold booth, Paimon looked at two glasses of apple juice with fifty moras, and couldn't help feeling thirsty.

However, she still restrained her desire to drink apple juice, and said to Han Zhuo, "Hello, we are here to send pensions." Maybe the other party received pensions and could get two glasses of apple juice for errands for free.

Han Zhuo looked at Paimeng for a while, and then he looked at Ying.

Ying immediately took out the purse and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Han Zhuo said nothing more.

Paimon was a little angry now, this fairy is so indifferent.

Yan Fei noticed the atmosphere and hurriedly smoothed things over, "Mr. Han Zhuo doesn't like to talk, why don't you travel to get a contract for me. The fairy said he put it on the desk before going out. This is the key."

Ying also understood, "No problem." Then she pulled Paimon away.

On the way to pick up the contract, Ying and Paimon enjoyed the scenery among the clouds, but they felt very tired just walking.

"There are steps everywhere here, and we can't find the fairy's residence at all." Pai Meng touched the map distributed in the sea of ​​clouds, followed the prompts, it was clearly here, why couldn't find it, they all started to circle around up.

"It's a new face." A female voice said, "Hello, my name is Baidi. Are you lost? I know that it's hard to find the shops in Yunhaijian."

Bai Di's friendly appearance made people relax their vigilance, Paimeng did not suspect him, and simply told Bai Di about the process of finding the fairyland.

"So I was looking for the immortal's residence." Baidi took the map naturally, and after looking at it for a few times, she already knew where it was, "This cave is below, but the immortal who lives there has been out for a long time, there may be monsters inside." , can you handle it?"

A bad premonition arose in Ying's heart. She might really be cleaning up for that fairy as Paimon said when she came.

"We can handle it." Before Ying asked if there was any other way to get the contract, Paimon agreed, and she and the traveler could easily break through the secret realm.

Of course, Paimeng is responsible for relaxing, and Ying is responsible for breaking through the secret realm.

Having said all this, Ying had no choice but to bid farewell to Baidi and enter the secret realm alone.

This time she didn't meet Chuchu people, only slimes, endless slimes.

After finally taking out the contract from the desk, Ying came out of the secret realm covered in slime liquid.

Paimon was knocked dizzy by the slime in the secret realm, and even swore on the road that he would never eat food made by slime during this time, even Xiangling's.

This made Ying's stomach ache.

Back at Han Zhuo's stall, Yan Fei had already finished talking with Han Zhuo.

"Thank you!" Yanfei accepted the contract. She noticed that Ying was in a mess and felt very regretful. She thought that there was a monster in the fairy secret realm, so she offered to ask Paimeng and Ying to drink apple juice to make up for it.

Hearing that there was apple juice, Paimon, who had experienced the slime siege battle, suddenly felt better, "Okay, okay!" This apple juice looks really delicious.

Han Zhuo didn't have any pretensions, took the fifty moras from Yan Fei, poured two cups and handed them over immediately.

"It's delicious!" Holding the cup, Pymon Tonton drank it, and she subconsciously asked, "What's in it? It has a strange taste."

After thinking about it, Han Zhuo felt that this secret recipe was not a secret, so he said frankly to Paimeng without any scruples, "Each bottle has five spoonfuls of diluted slime condensate."

Ying and Paimon's smiles disappeared instantly when they heard the answer.

Leaving the sea of ​​clouds full of satisfaction, although they have no appetite to eat at all, Paimeng and Ying, who feasted their eyes, went to find Zhongli.

"For Zhongli, he's either listening to a book or listening to an opera, or walking a bird and drinking tea." Paimon rubbed his stomach, she was very hungry but she didn't want to eat.

When I least want to eat something, I accidentally find that the delicious food in my mouth is made of that kind of thing, which makes me feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"It was said in the last book that Liyue Xianjia's law code..."

Sure enough, Ying saw Zhongli's figure at the storytelling booth.

"Zhongli!"

Flying over quickly, Paimon looked at Zhongli who didn't know if Mora was with him, and couldn't help showing off her experience today.

"Between the sea of ​​clouds, there is money." Zhong Li thought about this combination, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, but the whole Liyue was very rich, only he, who was able to make Mora in the past, occasionally forgot to bring Mora.

Paimon was even more proud, as if she had a lot of Mora.

"We brought your pension." Ying got to the point.

Zhong Li seemed surprised, "Oh, so I have it too." He didn't expect that old friend to include him in the list of immortals who distributed pensions.

"Zhongli, do you know the creator of Sea of ​​Clouds?" Paimon felt that since Sea of ​​Clouds was in the sea of ​​Liyue, Zhongli must know.

"I know." He smiled after finishing speaking, "Just in time, she's here."

Ying and Paimon turned their heads at the same time, and saw the Alchemy Demon God whom they met briefly, Berist.

"Ah, I remembered that the last time Bellister was looking for the Sea of ​​Clouds, and when he arrived, he found that it had become the Room of Absolute Clouds, and no one lived there anymore." Paimon finally remembered where she had heard the name of the Sea of ​​Clouds. .

Ying nodded, she also remembered.

"Long time no see, Traveler and Paimon." Balister sat next to the traveler, "I really miss the days of drinking tea with everyone."

"Did you create the cloud in the sea?"

Faced with Ying's question, Belliste nodded, and then she looked at Zhongli, "Of course Mr. Zhongli helped build the mountain and foundation. I don't have the ability to move mountains and fill seas."

"It's too much praise, I didn't do trivial work." Zhong Li said modestly.

After Paimon confirmed the identity of Beliste, he asked questions like a cannonball, "You are also the employer of Hanzhuo? You are also the one who paid the pension to Liyue Immortal? Wow, how can you have so many Mora?" asked So much, but Paimon's emphasis is on the last sentence.

After thinking about it, Bayrist said, "That's a long story, if you don't mind, I'll tell you slowly."

"I'll pay for the tea money during the storytelling period." Zhongli also wanted to hear stories about the past.
