"Hello!"

The cook ran past the house with cheerful steps, waving her arms.

"It looks like you're done talking."

Looking at Bullock who had already begun to prepare, Bai Qiyun shook his body and stood up from the railing.

He just lay there for a while and almost fell asleep.

"Well, in the afternoon, we will have a cooking showdown here!"

When it comes to the cooking showdown, Xiangling becomes extremely excited.

In her only ten years of life, she has experienced very few cooking duels, and this time it was a duel with an exotic chef. Just thinking about it made her feel excited.

"Oh, then I wish you good luck in the competition."

Even though the girl in front of him was so excited, Bai Qiyun remained expressionless, as if he didn't care about these things at all.

"Hey, cook, I feel like you're not in a good mood."

Paimon flew in front of Bai Qiyun and tried to wave his hands to attract his attention.

But she didn't expect that what she got in exchange was not a warm look, but a wave of his hand, and Bai Qiyun drove her to Ying's side.

"Of course I'm not interested. Although the person named Bullock is very powerful, if she really gets serious, her chances of winning against Xiangling are less than 10%."

Bai Qiyun recalled the ratio of seasonings in the other party's pot, and it was obvious that the other party had gone the wrong way.

Although the aroma of the meat is outstanding, some of the seasonings are already out of balance. The dish is one of those that is amazing when you first bite it, but then becomes bland as you go. It also lacks the skills of the cook.

A manifestation.

"You're so sure before we even compete?!"

Paimon originally planned to cheer Xiangling up, but now she felt a little embarrassed.

However, she still didn't understand why Bai Qiyun was so sure of Xiangling's victory. Maybe there was some secret in it.

Lowering his head, Bai Qiyun drooped his eyelids and yawned.

"But no matter what, you must go all out, right?"

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Bai Qiyun, who grew up together, knows Xiang Ling's character very well.

Although there was a reason for the incident, it was obvious that Xiang Ling would never let go of this opportunity to compete with others.

"Of course, as a chef, you have to give your best at all times!"

No matter when, Xiangling is the energetic Xiangling.

She kept moving her arms in the air, looking full of energy.

"Hey, without further ado, let's quickly find suitable materials."

The cook couldn't wait to set out now and run to the opposite mountain to see what unique and good ingredients Mondstadt had, and take some with her when she went home.

"We? What we? I'm going back to sleep. Come on."

But Bai Qiyun had no intention of helping at all. If Xiang Ling hadn't been discussing things with others just now and felt that it would be rude to leave without saying hello, he would have gone back to catch up on his sleep.

I woke up so early and didn't see anything, except for trouble.

Although the rice cake is very cute, Bai Qiyun now feels that the bed is even cuter. The bed at home is waving to him.

"Hello~"

Paimeng stretched out his short hand and pulled Bai Qiyun hard, who had just taken a step forward. Looking at her small body, it was very difficult for her.

"Cooker, why do you want to sleep again?"

When the elf heard Bai Qiyun's unambitious remarks, he hugged his chest angrily.

"Huh? This is not the time for you to sleep at home."

Listening to Paimon's words, Bai Qiyun found it a little funny, who was lying on the sofa and fell asleep before?

He didn't even want to mention it.

But looking at Guo Ba and Ying watching the show, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get enough sleep today.

"Okay, okay, let me go with you."

"What? It's a sign of reluctance."

——————————

After agreeing on the time and place for the cooking showdown, the group of people accompanied Xiangling towards the back hill of Qingquan Town.

Although in Bai Qiyun's view, this behavior was a waste of time, he could not hold back the enthusiasm of the crowd, so he could only follow Paimeng and Xiang Ling, and hang at the end of the team with Ying.

Really, if you want to talk about the specialties of the Mondstadt area, you can just go to the merchants.

Bai Qiyun glared with a pair of dead fish eyes and kept scanning the surroundings.

Well, from the moment he saw Xiang Ling, Bai Qiyun switched to "home mode" and his whole person became decadent.

Mainly because when he sees someone, he becomes agitated.

"Speaking of which, Xiangling. What is the cooking showdown?"

But unlike the taciturn duo at the back, Paimeng Xiangling in the front was a talker. The white elf fluttered the silk scarf behind him and flew around Xiangling asking questions.

"Cooking showdown...well, it actually involves both sides cooking and then asking a few judges to try the dishes to determine the winner."

Xiangling bit her fingers and recalled her past experiences of cooking duels.

In fact, she has never participated in any particularly formal cooking showdowns. They were all private comparisons, and she lost more than she won.

"Hey! Then...can you let me be the judge then?"

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious to eat, Paimon couldn't wait to be the vanguard.

Maybe she didn't want to be a judge, she was just greedy.

However, although Xiangling was very moved by Paimon's kindness, she still shook her head firmly.

"No, the judges of the cooking competition cannot be biased. Although I also want to cook for Paimon, it would be unfair to Miss Bullock."

"Okay then~"

Obviously, after being rejected by Xiang Ling, Paimon's mood dropped a bit, making Xiang Ling feel a little embarrassed.

"Don't be like this. If Paimon wants to eat it, I can cook it for you when I have time later."

"Really!"

The change in Paimeng's expression from gloomy to sunny in front of him reminded Bai Qiyun of the broken desk lamp at home. When there was a bad connection, it would always make a buzzing sound, and then the light would turn on and off for a while.

"Speaking of which, it seems to be getting a little cold."

Bai Qiyun, who was hanging at the end of the team, felt that the surroundings suddenly became colder than before. He scratched his forearm, and some goose bumps appeared on it due to the change in environment.

Perhaps because everyone is walking in the mountains, the temperature difference in the mountains is indeed larger than in the villages.

But it is midsummer after all, so why is it so cold all of a sudden?

"Well, it seems to have gotten really cold."

Ying, who remained silent along the way, took in the surrounding environment and nodded.

There were even some tiny dewdrops on her slender eyes. If Bai Qiyun hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed it.

"Ahead! There seems to be someone in front!"
