Chapter 174 Month by Month Chapter
The moment the Death Star docked, Paimon flew down directly, which was enough to show that she was really suffocated during this time at sea.
Ying followed closely behind, while Xines supported Egolia and slowly walked across the wooden plank connecting the ship and the port.
"Slow down, don't fall."
"I'm not a kid."
Egolia smiled helplessly at Sines's concern. Even if her shoes were indeed not suitable for traveling, falling down would be too disrespectful to her.
Stepping into this neighboring country she had never been to before, Egolia's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"This place is very different from Fontaine."
Seeing that Sines and Egolia were standing still at the harbor, Paimon immediately waved to them.
"Come on! I'll take you to eat something delicious!"
Paimon hadn't said anything yet, but everyone knew what he meant:
Hinesh pays!
The humidity was too high at sea, and Paimon felt himself getting wet, so he took a few people to Wanmin Hall, intending to have a spicy meal!
The four of them sat down, and Paimon shouted directly,
"Boss, I want a boiled black bass! I want the extra large one! And extra spicy!"
Boom,
Paimon covered his head and floated to the side. Ying blew on his fist and corrected himself.
"Boss, keep it spicy as normal."
"Hey, it's the Traveler, Paimon, and Cines. Who is this?"
Before Xines could speak, Egolia stood up on her own initiative.
"I am Egolia, the lover of Cynes."
"I'm Xiangling, and my dad is the owner of this store!"
When they were in Liyue before, they often came to Wanmin Hall for dinner. Xiangling naturally knew Sines, not to mention Ying and Paimon, they had known each other in Mondstadt.
Although she was shocked that Hines had a new wife after his trip to Inazuma, wasn't this good news?
Because there are new people who can come and try the dishes!
After meeting Egolia, Xiangling invited several people.
"There's a cooking competition at this year's Moon Festival, and I want you to be my food consultants."
Hines calmly drank the tea on the table. What did the food consultant Xiangling was looking for have to do with him, a guy who knew nothing about cooking?
The best help he could offer was to taste test the food for Xiangling...
Well, it seems that this is what Xiangling needs most, so it is even more impossible for her to go!
Ying and Paimon showed great interest in this competition. Looking at the three people chatting enthusiastically, Hines smiled and looked at Egolia.
"Then will Cynes and Eugolia come with you?"
Facing Xiangling's request, Xines shook his head slightly.
"We'll be there to support you during the competition. Right now, I just want to spend some time alone with Egolia."
Xiangling was not discouraged by the rejection and said with a smile,
"Then you must come, and then I'll let you see my cooking skills!"
"Boiled black bass is here~"
The spicy fish dispelled the dampness brought from the sea. Paimon said excitedly with a red face,
"It's delicious! Xiangling, why don't you make your entry spicy too!"
"I'll take Paimon's opinions into consideration. Do you have any taste preferences?"
Ying and Shines both said they didn't have any particular favorite flavors, but Egolia said she liked sweets.
"Sweets? Like lotus cakes?"
Unfortunately, Egolia had no idea what the lotus cake Xiangling was talking about. Xines said with a smile,
"It's okay. I'll take you to eat in a bit, Xiangling. When we come back, let Egolia tell you how she feels."
......
"Egolia likes sweets. Is this what a sweet girl looks like?"
"Actually, you can tell from what Sines said about Egolia liking juice."
"That's not necessarily true. Lemon juice isn't sweet."
"? Lemon juice is considered juice?"
"You mean lemons don't count as fruit?"
......
After the meal, Ying and Paimon followed Xiangling to find out what new ideas their friends had.
"Now that we have some free time, let's go see the Emperor, no, Zhongli."
Egolia looked at Sines, hoping he could give a direction, such as where Zhongli was?
Hines looked up at the sky. It was clear and sunny, a perfect time to listen to books and plays.
"Come with me, I should know where he is."
As expected, the two found Zhongli listening to opera in Heyu Teahouse. Hines sat down without any hesitation. Zhongli just glanced at him and said nothing more. He picked up the only teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.
As an audience member, quietly enjoying the entire performance is the greatest respect for the gentleman on stage.
However, Eugolia followed closely behind and sat next to Xines.
Zhongli silently put down the teacup, tapped the table twice with his hands, and stood up to leave.
Just as Xines and Egolia were about to follow, they were stopped by the waiter.
"Tea costs 20 molas."
Egolia stood there in a daze. The Emperor didn't even pay?
Hines was very calm and casually took out a 100-dollar Mora coin and threw it to the waiter.
Walking out of the teahouse, I saw Zhongli, an ordinary man, standing on the side of the road in a very ordinary way.
Of course, this ordinariness ignores his appearance, height and temperament.
Zhongli brought the two of them to a roadside tea stall where there were fewer people. After the three of them sat down, he knocked on the table casually, and the noise from the outside world disappeared without a trace.
"Long time no see, Egolia. Have you gotten shorter?"
Hines nearly spit out the water he had just drunk. He looked at the old man speechlessly. "Isn't it just interrupting your show?" "Is revenge so strong?"
Zhongli ignored Sines's gaze and blew on the tea in the cup.
Egolia looked as if she had just realized that she had become a little shorter.
"If the Emperor hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have noticed. Maybe the shadow record is wrong."
After saying this, she looked at Hines with a smile in her eyes.
Hines calmly drank the tea in his cup, ignoring Egolia's gaze.
"Just call me Zhongli. Now you're the only one left of the original Seven Gods, and I still have the guy who loves drinking the most.
I bought osmanthus flowers and carried wine with me, but it’s a pity for my old friend...”
Seeing his deceased friend resurrected before his eyes, Zhongli still found it hard to believe.
If only I could have kept their souls when they died.
What's the point of just avenging them if you can't bring them back to life?
The three of them were chatting casually, and somehow the topic came to the Moon-Chasing Festival. Egolia looked at the cheerful people on the roadside and couldn't help but praise them.
"Emperor... Zhongli, Liyue is truly peaceful under your leadership. This Moon-Chasing Festival is truly lively."
Xines put down the tea and invited Zhongli.
"Zhongli, you should know about the Chef King Competition, right? Do you want to go watch it together?"
