c316 Three inhuman gods
Xiangling looked at the two people shaking hands with smiles on their faces, and whispered to Xingqiu: “Xingqiu, let me tell you.”
“Um?”
“Can you lend me a few books to read when you get back? Choose one that you think is good in writing.” Xiang Ling whispered, “I wonder if my literary level is not up to standard, and I can’t tell the good from the bad.”
Chongyun showed an awkward smile and replied: “I think it may not be your problem.”
“Chongyun is right, it’s not our problem.” Xingqiu nodded in agreement.
“Paimon, look good and study hard. You might be able to use it when you come up with nicknames in the future.”
“That makes sense.” Paimon nodded with a smile and said, “Speaking of which, why are the singers here? Are they also here to participate in the Sea Lantern Festival?”
“I heard that Liyue is going to hold the Haideng Music Festival this year. As a poetry creator, how can I resist the temptation not to come and take a look?” Wendy replied: “Art must collide with each other to generate sparks of inspiration. ”
“Speaking of the friend from Fontaine who hosted the event, I met him near Shimen.”
“The rainbow tour has finally been successfully held, so I have to congratulate him.”
“He must be very grateful.” Ying nodded.
“We can’t be so polite to each other.” Wendy said this and changed the subject: “Speaking of which, I saw you guys entering New Moon Pavilion one after another before, but they didn’t notice that I was there.”
“Should I say that I hid it too well, or that some people ignored the news?”
Seeing Wendy turning her gaze here, Liusu said expressionlessly: “I’m just an ordinary person. Liyue Port is so big, Xinyuexuan is a bustling street, and there are so many cries on the street. How can I pay attention? Where is the slightest sound?”
Wendy: “.”
“Miss Liusu is right. Every time during the Hai Lantern Festival, Liyue Harbor is buzzing with people.” Zhong Li nodded and agreed, “Everyone is busy admiring the lanterns and shopping. When the mood strikes, it is inevitable to go on an impromptu trip. It’s hard for anyone to predict what others will do. ”
“The celebration is going smoothly now. The gathering of old and new friends is a beautiful thing worth celebrating.”
“It’s a joy to be here with you all at the beginning of the new year.”
“In this situation, please allow me to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine.”
elf:”???”
With that said, Zhongli picked up a cup of tea and stood up under Mandrill’s surprised gaze.
“Mr. Zhongli said well, you have finished what I want to say!” Liusu also stood up and said: “The rude behavior before must have offended the Immortal, so I also took this opportunity to say no to the Immortal. Please allow me. I’ll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!”
elf:”!!!”
“Me too.” Wendy also stood up and said, “I feel a little embarrassed when I talk about this. I suddenly broke into the party as an uninvited guest. I didn’t cause too much trouble to everyone, did I?”
“In Mondstadt, we all drink at this time, but Mr. Zhongli insists on drinking tea, so I will also toast everyone with tea! Thank you for the hospitality!”
elf:”.”
“You’re welcome! I’m the host here. Let’s eat and drink well.” Hu Tao said with a smile: “And Tassel, the Great Sage of Conquering Demons will definitely not mind your behavior, so there’s no need to be so polite.”
“The reason why there is only tea is because we may have activities after the meal.”
Mandrill: “Uh”
Seeing this, Paimon quickly said to Ying: “The three of them suddenly started to serve tea, do we want it?”
“Mandrill!” Ying said suddenly.
“Why are you panicking!?” Mandrill replied immediately.
Looking at Mandrill who was pretending to be calm, Ying suggested: “Are you full? Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Mandrill sighed and said, “Okay.”
“Have you two finished eating?” Hutao asked doubtfully, “It’s good to go out for some fresh air and some food.”
“Hey, hey, me too”
Seeing that Paimon wanted to follow him, Ying turned around and said to him, “Paimon isn’t full yet.”
“Uh, actually.”
Paimon wanted to say something else, but Ying interrupted: “Don’t worry, we’ll come back as soon as we go.”
“Okay. You must come back!” Paimon replied with some worry: “Remember to come back soon!”
“Honestly, I’m afraid I said the wrong thing.”
After Ying and Mandrill went out, several people present gathered together in twos and threes.
“This friend, it sounds like he knows a lot about wine.” Zhongli said to Wendy.
Wendy waved her hand and said, “No, no, I can only have a good time, but I can’t be as classy as Mr. Zhongli.”
“Fortunately, we are drinking tea this time. Otherwise, if I lose my ability to drink and talk nonsense while drunk, wouldn’t it be a joke to Mr. Zhongli and Miss Liusu, who I have just met?”
“Don’t dare. You are the guest invited by Hall Master Hu. How dare I laugh at you?”
Liusu said with a serious face: “You are a famous bard in Mondstadt, and I am an ordinary person that almost no one knows in Liyue. How dare I laugh at you?”
“Hey, hey, hey, that’s too much. You didn’t even say a joke, but your smile never stopped!”
“I’m professional. No matter how funny it is, I won’t laugh unless I really can’t help it.”
Wendy: “.”
“Okay, okay, the Travelers and the others are gone, so you two should stop arranging me.” Wendy said through the message.
Zhongli asked in confusion: “Oh? Is something wrong?”
“One thing, is there any profound meaning in what you did just now? You see, it scares people.” Wendy responded, touching her chin.
“It doesn’t have any profound meaning. It’s just that life is too monotonous. I want to add a little spice to life.” Liusu replied: “In short, it’s just that I am too busy.”
Wendy: “.”
“Why don’t you give me two blows when the time comes? I think his expression at that time will definitely be wonderful.”
“If I want to knock you, the traveler is still here. I won’t be laughed at if I knock you!”
“Oh? You mean that if the traveler is not here, you can kowtow, right?”
“Is that what I mean?!” Wendy said this, glanced at Liusu and said, “Besides, what’s the benefit of knocking on me?”
“Well, let me think about it.” Liusu pretended to think for a while, then spread his hands in Wendy’s expectant eyes and said, “No.”
Wendy: “.”
I knew I shouldn’t expect this kind of thing from you. I’m so stupid, really.
At the same time, outside the Xinyuexuan Gate.
“Are you okay?” Mandrill asked.
Ying glanced at Mandrill who was still pretending to be calm and said, “I should ask you this.”
elf:”.”
Mandrill sighed and said, “I can’t say enough.”
“Have you never seen such a scene before?”
“It’s not a matter of the scene.” Mandrill replied: “In the past, immortals also had many people who liked to party and chat. From time to time, they invited everyone to drink and have tea together. I was forced to go there many times.”
“But the immortals have their own specialties. They are all arrogant and always express their feelings directly. They don’t have so many ways.”
“And this time?”
Ying suddenly realized: “I understand, it’s all Wendy’s fault!”
“No, that’s not what I meant.”
“You also know Wendy’s identity. Let me put it bluntly. The God of Wind is free in nature, and his temper is as free as the sound of his flute. It is easy for such a god to get along well with humans.”
“Oh, since it’s not Wendy’s problem, then who is it? Zhongli, Liusu or is it?”
“Yeah, it’s not a problem between the Emperor and the Immortal Lord.” Mandrill quickly replied: “The two of them are like the God of Wind. The Emperor has a plain personality and likes to make friends; the same is true for the Immortal Lord, so they can get along with ordinary people. Very harmonious.”
“And that’s probably something I could never do.”
fluorescent:”.”
“You don’t need to imitate them. You can’t imitate them either. Just be yourself.”
After hearing Ying’s persuasion, Mandrill nodded and said, “Yes, it is indeed what you would say.”
“It doesn’t matter, I understand my situation.”
“So, when I occasionally think about how I get along with you normally, it always feels abnormal and novel.”
“Abnormal?” Ying asked doubtfully, “Is it a good abnormality?”
“Yes.” Mandrill nodded and said, “It’s really hard to shirk Hall Master Hu’s invitation. I was mentally prepared when I came for the appointment.” Mandrill continued: “She said [only those who have a destiny with the elemental force] will be invited.” friend], I knew you would be there.”
“I just didn’t expect the other guests.”
“Who would have thought of this.” Ying said, “Except you, I wouldn’t have thought of it. I can understand why Zhongli could come as a guest of the Purity Hall, but Liusu was actually invited by Hutao as a distinguished customer of the Purity Hall. As for Wen Di, I never thought he could come.”
“Admiral Xin Yuan often said that you should have fun in time and enjoy surprises. Maybe this is what he means.” Mandrill said: “But he should be referring to the clothes he designs for the people around him.”
“Those clothes are beautifully designed, but they are too inconvenient to wear. Brother Fushe never shows off his dignity.”
“The emperor has always liked them and collected a lot of them. The clothes he is wearing now are also the handiwork of General Xin Yuan.”
“I never saw him wearing this during the war. I didn’t expect that he would use it later.”
“Speaking of which, what was the mask that Paimon gave you before?” Ying suddenly thought of something and asked with some confusion: “I saw that you were very happy when you received the mask.”
“Well, those three masks are General Rasenaki’s, General Fire Rat’s Yingda, and General Anzuru’s Minu. The three of them asked Paimon to pass them to me, and they briefly informed me of their affairs. ”
“After learning that they had recovered, I was very happy, and even the heavy burden in my heart was lifted a lot.”
Ying suddenly said: “I see, no wonder you took the initiative to say to us, Happy Lantern Festival.”
“I also want to try to accept new things, but…”
“It’s okay, just take your time.” Ying said comfortingly: “As I said before, you don’t need to imitate them.”
Mandrill nodded and said, “Yeah.”
“Speaking of which, why didn’t Fushe come?”
“Brother Fushe went to the [Outer Sea]. He said he couldn’t stay idle.” Mandrill said: “Because Brother Fushe can be regarded as a figure outside the world line, including the current Dragon King Ruotuo.” Mandrill. He replied: “I was ready to go with her at first, but Brother Fushe refused. He said that Teyvat still needs me now.”
“[Outer Sea]?”
“Well, [Outer Sea] is a place outside the Teyvat continent. It is said that there are many terrifying things there. Several people from Liyue Seven Stars, including 90% of the Qianyan Army in Liyue Port, have gone to [Outer Sea]. “Mandrill replied. “I think all this should be Xianjun’s handiwork. Although she didn’t say it explicitly, no one in Liyue would do this except her.”
“And everything about [Outer Sea] is confidential. I hope you will not leak this matter to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”
“Don’t worry, I still know these things well.” Ying said with a smile.
“Um.”
Just when the two of them finished talking, Xiang Ling walked out of the Crescent Pavilion and greeted the two of them: “I found it, so you are here!”
“Well, I’m not bothering you, right?”
Mandrill looked at Xiang Ling and said calmly: “No. Is something wrong?”
“Just now that everyone was full, Hutao asked the clerk to serve the after-dinner refreshments.” Xiangling explained: “You haven’t come back for a long time. Paimon is a little anxious. He can’t even taste the sweet and salty snacks.”
“She can still eat, which means it’s not a big problem.” Ying replied expressionlessly.
“Actually, I’m a little worried too.” Xiang Ling said with some embarrassment: “Bui Shangxian was a little restless just now. I thought it was because I couldn’t get used to the food here and wanted to go back to Wangshu Inn to find Yanxiao to cook.”
“No. It makes you worry too much.”
Ying looked at Mandrill who was about to pull away and run away, and quickly said: “Drill, it is forbidden to suddenly stand in harmony with the wind and wheels.”
Mandrill: “.How come?”
After saying this, Mandrill sighed deeply and said helplessly: “In that case, let’s go back.”
“Ah, please wait a moment.” Seeing this, Xiang Ling hurriedly said, “Actually, I have other things to do with you.”
Having said this, Xiang Ling handed the prepared food box to Mandrill and Ying and said, “Here, these are specially brought to you today!”
“Is this almond tofu?” Mandrill took the food box, opened it, and said hesitantly.
“Um!”
Xiang Ling nodded and said, “Since the last Kitchen King Competition, Yan Xiao and I have become good rivals and good friends. Sometimes we go to Wangshu Inn to discuss cooking with him.”
“I heard from him that the distinguished guests at the top of the inn like his almond tofu the most, so I asked him for advice.”
“To be honest, Hutao asked me quietly before this time to ask me which guests I would like to invite and which dishes I should order.”
“So I made some almond tofu in advance and prepared to bring it to you, as a thank you to everyone for taking care of me.”
“When I learned that it was prepared for you, Guo Ba also ran around enthusiastically and helped a lot!”
Ying smiled and said: “Thank you Xiangling, and the rice cake.”
“I’m asking you to worry about it, but it’s not necessary.”
Before Mandrill finished speaking, Ying interrupted: “Ahem.”
“.I will accept it. Thank you very much, and…the rice cake.”
“You’re welcome!” Xiang Ling responded with a smile: “Oh yes, the texture and taste of my almond tofu may not be the same as Yan Xiao’s. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please tell me!”
Mandrill nodded and said, “Yeah.”
“That’s it. Okay, okay, let’s go back quickly, otherwise Paimon will have to wait in a hurry.”
As soon as Ying and Mandrill entered the door, Paimon came up to them and said to Ying a little angrily: “Ah – you are finally back.”
“Didn’t I say I’d be back soon, huh!”
“It’s pretty fast. It’s your sense of time that’s wrong.”
“You, you guy, actually said that to me!” Pamon said angrily: “Huh, yes, my concept of time is wrong. I stayed here for a quarter of an hour, and months have passed over your place. ”
“Then I will not only let you know what it means to have a wrong concept of time, but also what it means to have a wrong concept of food intake!”
“Your snacks are mine!”
Ying said calmly: “Then your food expenses for the next month will be mine.”
“You, I decided not to care about you anymore!” Pamon stamped his feet in the air angrily and said, “Don’t talk to me today!”
fluorescent:”.”
“Sorry for the long wait.” Mandrill said.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s all chatting, nothing serious.” Hu Tao said, “You are chatting outside and we are chatting in the house, isn’t it the same thing?”
“Master, please be tolerant, Paimon should learn from this.” After listening to Hu Tao’s words, Ying said to Paimon who was looking at him angrily with his hands folded on his chest.
“Hmph! You, forget it, you are busy eating, I don’t care about you!”
“But even though we are all acquaintances, we still need to do something ceremonial for the holiday dinner.” Hu Tao suggested.
“Oh? Is it some kind of custom?” Wendy said, pretending to be surprised.
Hu Tao replied decisively: “No.”
Wendy: “.”
“But in order to get good luck, my hall master has made one up now!” Hutao thought for a while and suggested: “It’s better to pick things up than to pick them up. Let’s use this incense burner on the table.”
“After burning for so long, the spices inside are almost exhausted, so let the most distinguished guest here refill the incense and light the fire for everyone.”
“It means endless life, and I wish you prosperity and prosperity in the new year!”
“I see, with good intentions, you are worthy of being Hall Master Hu!” Wendy nodded with a smile: “Then speaking of the most distinguished guest here…it must be guest guest Zhongli.”
“I’m not very familiar with the stories and stories of Ke Qing, but from what we just talked about, his knowledge and knowledge are eye-opening to me, a bard who has seen all over the world.”
“If knowledge can be considered power, Ke Qing can be said to be infinitely powerful.”
“In terms of speaking skills, the great poets are indeed higher.” Zhongli said calmly: “I just have a better memory. I am impressed by your eloquence that such an ordinary ability can be said so powerfully.”
“Speaking of which, everyone can nominate someone.”
Wendy nodded and said, “Yeah.”
“Of course I think the hall master should be allowed to renew the incense.” Zhongli continued.
“Oh, no, you are just a subordinate flattering his boss.” Hu Tao heard this and shook her head and said, “It’s said to invite distinguished guests, how can my actions be counted in.”
“I think we should let Liusu come. As the biggest customer of Wangsheng Hall, it is reasonable for this hall master to recommend her.”
Liusu: “???”
The plot doesn’t seem to be like this. Shouldn’t you recommend Xiangling? Why are you dragging me into this?
“In terms of universal rationality, it is true.” Zhongli nodded and said, “The hall master is right. Liusu is indeed a distinguished guest, no matter what kind of meaning.”
“I agree.” Paimeng also echoed on the side.
“You agree.” Liusu glanced at Paimon and said, “No, compared to the noble status, how can our status compare to the Great Sage who conquers demons? So I think it is better to go with the only immortal here, Xiao.”
Xiao: “.”
“Hehe, that’s right, we are all ordinary people, naturally we can’t compare with the noble young immortals of Liyue.” Wendy blinked and said, “Zhongli, what do you think of Liusu’s proposal?”
“That’s true.” Zhongli smiled and nodded.
Xiao: “.”
If you three continue like this, believe it or not, I will blow myself up!
