"Hey! Ying!, something bad is going to happen!"

Paimon flew over in panic from the end of the corridor and was held down by the girl.

"What's wrong, you're so panicked, is the kitchen on fire?"

Ying patiently arranged the small apron hanging in front of Paimon, which was already full of pleats.

Because she had to help in Tingyu Pavilion, even Paimon put on corresponding work clothes, but it looked a bit funny when matched with her figure.

"Downstairs... General Raiden... General Raiden is here!"

"What!"

Looking at Ying's frightened expression, Paimon, who was originally frightened, suddenly calmed down.

She looked at the girl in front of her, her eyes filled with speechlessness.

"You said I was panicking, but you were also shocked."

"This is human nature, okay, that's General Thunder!"

Ying felt that his hands and feet were a little busy.

Unlike Mondstadt, who was just a charlatan, General Thunder and Lightning is one of the Seven Gods who are still in power today. He is the supreme being who needs to manage all the affairs of Daozhi. Why did he come to Liyue Port at this time?

Ying, who was filled with curiosity by this question, gradually regained her composure and planned to follow Paimon to see what the other person's purpose was.

"Which private room is General Thunder and Lightning in?"

Ying planned to pretend to be a waiter and go to find out the truth, but she didn't expect the answer Paimon gave her, which almost shocked her jaw again.

"In the cooking bedroom."

"ha?!"

————

In the boy's bedroom, Bai Qiyun served the prepared dishes to a small wooden table.

Because it was night, the lighting in his bedroom was not particularly good.

The shadow put her plump legs in black stockings to one side, and sat on the boy's slightly soft bed, facing a table of delicious food that had just been cooked.

The moonlight outside the window shines through the window, mixed with the not-so-bright light, and shines on the woman's face.

Her originally fair face now looked a bit like jade.

"I didn't know what would suit your taste, so I just made some."

After Bai Qiyun put down the dishes, he casually found a place to chat.

This is a lie.

As early as Inazuma's previous banquet, he had secretly written down Kage's dining preferences.

In fact, Ying's preferences are very simple. She doesn't particularly like big dishes, but rather exquisite dishes and all kinds of desserts.

In other words, those dishes that are closer to snacks than traditional dishes are Ying’s favorite things.

On this basis, Bai Qiyun also deliberately made the local desserts in Liyue more exquisite and reduced the dosage.

For example, he cut down 70% of the ingredients for this very traditional plate of shredded sweet potatoes, and even put a lot of care into placing it on the plate so that the sugar shreds could outline the image of a golden pheasant.

There are also various white eucalyptus pastries, which are slightly improved in the direction of Ying's favorite snacks such as 'three-color dumplings' and 'milk dumplings'.

Ying pinched a piece of round pastry that was as white as a cloud and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.

When I pinched it with my fingers, the skin instantly sunk in.

Its softness and tenderness are even better than tofu.

Ying lifted her long hair from her ears, and before putting it into her mouth, she glanced at the boy who looked like a waiter.

Then, the white jade-like teeth, wrapped in red lips, gently bit the ball like a white cloud.

The slightly brittle snow-white shell instantly shattered in the woman's mouth, followed by the soft and tough interior that was like tofu or fungi.

And as the shadow went deeper, the deepest part of the purple red bean paste that was compressed into a ball was also rolled into her tongue.

In an instant, a higher level of sweetness than before burst out on the tip of her tongue.

One bite, full of happiness.

A glimmer of light flashed in Ying's purple gem-like eyes, and he stuffed the remaining part into his mouth in a few mouthfuls.

"what is this called."

After eating a piece of dessert, the movie seems to open the door to a new world.

Very few of Inazuma's pastries are so exquisite. Even her favorite three-color dumplings are just glutinous rice mixed with milk, mixed into a shape, and colored with some Inazuma's specialties.

In other words, there are almost no complicated steps in the entire process.

Although this makes this snack popular and close to the people, it still seems a little rough for the godly status of the leader of a country.

"Snow cotton bean paste is a dessert made of bean paste filling wrapped in egg white. It just suits your taste."

Satisfied to see Ying, Bai Qiyun also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, the name fits the taste very well."

Ying nodded lightly, picked up the rest of the desserts smoothly, and put them into his mouth one by one.

In contrast, the more orthodox dishes were put aside by her.

If a normal person eats like this, he may become completely nutritionally unbalanced in a short time, leading to diseases.

But as a demon, Shadow didn't have to worry about this at all and frantically cleaned the desserts in front of him.

Seeing her move like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves, Bai Qiyun didn't dare to stop her and could only stand aside and smile bitterly.

In Liyue Port, the atmosphere of the Hailantern Festival is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhongli was enjoying his dinner as usual while listening to the storyteller's commentary.

But today, this small stall welcomed an unexpected customer.

The bard wearing a green hat was sipping gently from a bowl of wine, and would cheer for the storyteller when he heard the wonderful parts.

Although it is indeed lively to say that he is so supportive, it does seem a bit noisy.

"You came here today, you must have something to do."

As the former ruler of the Seven Gods, Zhongli naturally recognized this old man who had once faked his name.

He put down the tea in his hand and glanced at Wendy, who was sitting beside him without leaving any trace, with his deep eyes.

As soon as she said this, the smile on Wendy's face became a little thicker.

"Didn't I hear that Liyue is celebrating the Hai Lantern Festival recently? I came here specifically to see if Liyue Port wouldn't welcome a bard."

"Everywhere, every visitor will be respected in this port. However, it is still some time before the Sea Lantern Festival, and the residence in this city is really not cheap. I am still afraid that Sir Wendy will have some unnecessary expenses."

Hearing this, Wendy's originally flawless smile suddenly became stiff.

Yes, the lack of Mora is indeed his flaw.

What's more, even if he could make money by singing, he probably wouldn't be able to afford the accommodation fee in Liyue Port.

He had heard that land in Liyue Port is very expensive, and the cost of staying in a hotel for one day costs 70,000 to 80,000 molas, and now there is still a full week before the Hai Lantern Festival.

In other words, if he wanted to stay here, he would have to spend at least more than 400,000 molas.

He would never be able to afford this amount of molasses.

"Ha... This is a problem, but it doesn't matter. I am a bard who lives all over the world, so this little problem can't trouble me."

Looking at Wendy's slightly disgusting expression, Zhongli was speechless and could only pick up the tea at hand again and take a sip.

At this time, the storyteller on the stage reached the climax of the story, and the cheers of the people around him became louder and louder.

"Well, let's get down to business. You should have noticed that woman's aura."

Suddenly, Zhongli's voice suddenly turned serious, causing the smile on Wendy's face to shrink a bit.

The bard held down his hat, his eyes deep.

"Ah, of course, it appeared for a moment in the west of Liyue Port."

To this day, he has not forgotten the experience of being trapped in darkness.

Zhongli's expression was even more complicated.

To mention this person, we have to go back to the Hai Lantern Festival last year.

During last year's Sea Lantern Festival, the Spin Demon Society manipulated the earth's veins to activate the power of legacy and controlled the immortals to attack Liyue Port.

Normally he would not be able to stand by and watch something like this happen, but it was precisely because he had been cordoned off at that time and had lost the ability to move that he did not come to support.

And the existence that locked him and Wendy in a space was that woman, the woman named Bai Linglong.

‘I’ll ask you two to leave now.’
