Endless wilderness and grasslands covering the earth.

The girl slowly wakes up from the darkness of a distant era.

The breeze that stirred up pieces of grass caressed her and the faces of the elves beside her.

The gentle touch is like a mother caressing her child's face.

The grassland and tree canopy are connected to form a green ocean. When the wind blows, green waves rush and surge on the plain.

Relying on the mountains, Ying followed Paimon to the place they agreed on.

"As we all know, words and poetry are carried by the wind..."

The elf next to the girl was flashing, and Paimon closed his eyes and told him about the past of this land like a scholar.

It's just that...the two of them, who haven't had any water for a long time, are already a little hungry.

"Hmm? What does it smell like?"

A burst of fragrance drifted from a short distance into the flying little greedy insect's nose.

Paimon's expression changed and he rubbed his little hands on his chest.

"Ying, why don't we go over and take a look."

The blond girl had no objection to this. It was a trip anyway, and she wanted to see everywhere.

The two little guys moved forward furtively in search of the scent.

Step by step, they crossed the grass and before they knew it, they entered the forest.

The overwhelming branches completely blocked the sunlight, and only a little sunlight occasionally shone between the scattered leaves. The originally sunny weather became extremely dark at this moment, but the broken sunshine that broke through the layers of barriers made it...

This quiet forest adds a bit of peace.

“It smells so good.”

After entering the forest, after walking a few steps, a fragrance that was stronger than outside spread out without any obstruction.

How could two people who hadn't eaten be able to resist this smell? Even the agreement to visit the Seven Heavens Statue first was forgotten by the two of them.

Ying's pink tongue licked the corners of her dry mouth.

Her intuition told her that it was not far away.

Sure enough, as they stepped through a bush again, the source of the fragrance appeared in their eyes.

He was a young man who was dressed very strangely. He had black hair and black eyes. The clothes he wore were quite different from those of the people he had seen from a distance on the road. He had a delicate appearance. His height could not be determined accurately because he was sitting.

I guess, but at least it seems to be higher than myself.

The boy was roasting something on the fire, which was the culprit that seduced the two of them.

While grilling, Bai Qiyun fanned the meat in front of him with his hands.

He muttered something, "Sure enough, without the Eye of God, we can only do this."

It seems that the young man is still dissatisfied with this barbecue that can attract visitors from outside the world.

"Um?"

While feeling the movement of the wind, the young man noticed something was wrong. When he raised his head, he saw two large living people standing in front of him.

"Ugh!!"

This time, Bai Qiyun almost fainted from fright.

"You two, don't you make any sound when you walk?"

The young man was so frightened that he became a little angry. He didn't care whether the other party was a beautiful girl or not, and just attacked her with a violent attack.

The two current prisoners were also a little embarrassed.

Paimon drew a circle in the sky and hid behind Ying. It seemed that he wanted to leave it to Ying to handle.

He didn't have time to care about his partner's somewhat unjust behavior. Faced with the young man, he didn't know how to speak.

She was used to treating everything as an adventure, so when exploring the source of the fragrance, she subconsciously held back her steps.

Not to mention Paimon, she uses flying.

"Sorry for frightening you."

No matter what, it's definitely right to apologize first.

The girl lowered her head, and her sweet voice drifted to the boy's ears with the wind.

Immediately, the panic after being frightened disappeared in an instant.

"Well...it doesn't have to be so formal."

If the other person did this, it would make him seem like a bad guy.

Bai Qiyun quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing serious.

But as soon as the conversation stopped, the two of them became awkward again.

Beautiful blonde girl!

Oh no, no, no, how should I communicate with girls?

Bai Qiyun swallowed and realized that in his short life, he had very little communication with girls of the same age.

Looking at her bright, jewel-like pupils, he was a little at a loss.

How to do how to do?

In the end, he could only choke out a Liyue greeting that his grandfather's generation often used through his teeth.

"Eat...have you eaten?",

——Okay, great! It is indeed Liyue’s ancient wisdom that fully embodied my stuttering at this moment.

Bai Qiyun clicked his mouth in the air a few times, like a dead fish.

Ying laughed when she saw it.

"Pfft~"

The girl laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled, and her blond hair tied into pigtails swayed back and forth by her ears.

After a while, Ying stretched out her white hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Hello, my name is Ying. What's your name?"

"Well, my name is Bai Qiyun, and I am a trainee chef."

Bai Qiyun realized the gaffe he had just made and scratched his hair to relieve his embarrassment.

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was very good, Paimon also floated out from behind Ying.

The white elf flew between the two of them, the streamers behind him flickering like wings.

"Hello, my name is Paimon."

"Ugh, wind slime!"

However, Paimon's impactful appearance did not give Bai Qiyun a good impression, but instead shocked him again.

Paimon pinched his waist angrily, his little face bulging.

"Who do you think is the wind slime?"

"But you can fly, what else could you be if you weren't a wind slime?"

"How is it possible? Have you ever seen my cute, talking wind slime?"

As if to prove it to Bai Qiyun, Paimon flew twice more and then made a face at him.

"It's decided, I'm going to give you an unpleasant nickname. Well... I'll just call you 'The Cook'."

Paimon, a little expert in naming, came up with a new nickname after patting his forehead. Should I say that it really deserves to be Paimon?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Cooking... doesn't sound like much."

After all, he is also a chef, so it is appropriate to call him that.

After a few exchanges, Bai Qiyun was willing to believe that the flying little guy in front of him was not one of those slimes with low intelligence. After all, slimes don't give others nicknames.

As for whether the intelligence is low or not...that remains to be discussed.

"But then again, what did you two come here to do?"

Hearing Bai Qiyun's question, both of them were a little embarrassed.

"We... came here following the fragrance."

In the end, it’s up to you to answer.

However, there is also a hint of shyness in the words.

"fragrance?"

Bai Qiyun looked at the two people opposite him, and then at the barbecue that was still roasting on the ground.
