[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

After getting the ointment from Ying'er, the lady in Chunxiang Kiln who always spoke words that did not allow for careful consideration, Kongma rushed to the Seven Heavenly Statue outside the city with Paimon without stopping.

Time has dragged on for a long time and the agreed time is coming soon. It would be bad if Zhongli was kept waiting for too long.

Judging from his words and actions, Zhongli is a person who attaches great importance to time, and he was very worried that he would arrive early.

Kong always believed in his intuition, but this time he made a wrong prediction. There was no trace of Zhongli around the Seven Days Statue.

Were you delayed by something?
He frowned and couldn't help thinking. He waited patiently for a long time before finally seeing Zhongli who was late.

Under his worried gaze, Zhongli stretched out his hand to cover his lips uncomfortably, finally hiding the smile on his lips: "Sorry, traveler, my wife wanted to draw my eyebrows for me today on a whim, so I'm sorry to have to spare some time."

Sora: Huh?
Sora felt his cheeks become sore after being suddenly slapped in the face by such straightforward dog food.

But Zhongli was not actually late. At best, he was just being rude and arrived on time. He couldn't blame him even if he wanted to. He could only numbly reply, "It's okay."

He looked listless, and Zhongli felt a little guilty, so he didn't say anything for a while.

Paimeng rubbed his hands awkwardly and decided to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere: "I didn't expect that Zhongli, you look so young, but you are already married?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was glared at by Kong.

Paimeng was confused, not knowing why he was glaring at him.

Zhongli saw all of the two's little actions and decided to ignore their exchange. He followed up on what Paimon had said quite naturally and said, "From a common sense point of view, we haven't gotten married yet. But since the wedding is approaching, it's okay to change it in advance. My wife doesn't mind."

"A wedding is coming up?" Paimon ignored the twitching of Sora's mouth, scratched his head in confusion, and continued to talk to him, "But, but didn't your Liyue god just die? Isn't it a bad idea to have a wedding now?"

Zhongli waved his hand: "No problem, this is exactly why it is a good time to get married."

Just as he said, Morax died with Mingxun, and Zhongli and Xun Ming will have a brand new future.

Although they had to admit that it was not a good time to get married, they had not planned to invite too many irrelevant people. It would not be a big deal if they only invited important friends.

There was no need to explain the reason to them. Zhongli just said this vaguely and then stopped.

Paimeng only had a vague idea about it and thought it was some strange custom in Liyue.

Seeing that the two had stopped chatting, Kong finally found an opportunity to interrupt and quickly took out the ointment.

Based on his experience of hanging out in Mond for a few months, if he didn't find something important to do as soon as possible, these unreliable, love-brained guys would really keep chattering and trying to bring the topic back to their partners!
"Ying'er said there are three kinds of ointments in total. We don't know which one we need, so we brought them all. Which one do you want to choose?"

"Thank you both for your hard work. Let's try to offer the sacrifices in order." Zhongli said.

Select "A Beautiful Girl in a Golden House" from the blank list and place it next to the statue.

Paimon explained with interest: "This is the first kind of perfume. Miss Ying'er said it is sweet and dreamy, and is the favorite of little girls. Hmm, it smells really sweet. Paimon wants to eat candy..."

The idol showed no reaction.

Sora then took out the second box and took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into Paimon's hand.

Paimon chewed the candy happily, and said in a vague voice: "The second kind of ointment is called "Shanyin Jinzhu", which is said to be noble and is the favorite of rich girls."

The statue still did not respond.

"Wow, I thought that as the god of precious gold, Rock God would like this!" Paimon chewed and swallowed the candy, and shouted to Sora to put the third one on.

Kong did as he was told. "This is the last one, called 'Piao Miao Xian Yuan'. The fragrance is soft and lingering, like the misty sky in Hunan. It is most popular among mature women." Kong recited Ying'er's introduction, "Although it is hard to imagine that the Rock King Emperor would like such a fragrance, we have no other choice besides this. I hope he likes it."

“Maybe.” Zhongli smiled.

As soon as the words fell, the statue immediately showed a strange behavior, as if agreeing.

"Eh...what was that just now?" Paimon was stunned.

Sora sighed meaningfully, "It seems like the Rock King is very pleased with it."

The two of them couldn't help but let their minds wander, imagining an image of a big sister with dragon horns on her head and a dragon tail with auspicious clouds behind her: "Hmm, that's pretty cool..."

Zhongli saw what they were thinking at a glance, but he didn't stop them. Instead, he talked about his next plan: "Next, I hope you two can borrow the Dust Cleansing Bell for me."

He explained in detail the possible location of Ge Chenlang City and successfully fooled the two men away, while he himself stayed.

He looked at the ointment beside the statue: "Well, maybe it's the style she likes. It's a pity that it will be used later..."

*

The next time the ointment was needed came very quickly, or perhaps it could be said that Kong was really efficient. It didn't take him long to prepare everything needed for the Immortal Delivery Ceremony.

Zhongli seemed to be thinking about something, and after the ceremony he took out an invitation.

The orange-yellow amber and emerald green jade were so dazzling that Kong almost couldn't react to what it was: "Mr. Zhongli, this is..."

"It's a wedding invitation. After all, you, the traveler, have helped me so much. I would like to invite you two to attend my wedding."

Kong's face wrinkled into a bun, obviously thinking of the past experience, and was a little scared: "Can we not——"

Before he could finish his words, Zhongli began to introduce what he had prepared for the wedding. Perhaps it was a long-planned event, because the first thing he said was a variety of Liyue specialties that Paimon could not refuse.

"My wife also likes these, so I contacted the chefs of Wanmin Hall, Xinyue Pavilion, and Liuliting in advance and invited them to be in charge of the meals that day."

“Wanmin Hall, Xinyue Pavilion, Liuliting…” Paimeng counted on his fingers, “Wow, these are all very famous restaurants in Liyue! Especially the last two, I heard that their cuisines don’t match, and the two families are always quarreling! Zhongli, you must have spent a lot of money to get them to agree to be together!”

Zhongli just smiled and said nothing.

Paimon belatedly sensed some deeper meaning in this smile, and felt a chill down his spine as he wondered who was paying the bill this time.

Was it Zhongli's rumored superior, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, who paid for it, or was it the Mora that he got from the young master last time?
Paimon and Sora next to him looked at each other and reached a consensus.

In the future, you must avoid Zhongli, so as not to become a sucker! After all, Zhongli really has the ability to make people willingly spend money on him!

But the invitation is right in front of me, it’s hard to refuse—

Paimon refused to admit that he was attracted by the delicious food and gave himself a very reasonable excuse: "Since we are friends, of course we will not be absent from your wedding!"

The corner of Sora's mouth twitched.

But it's always good to be able to have a good meal. Paimeng's food expenses this month are 150,000, so the more he can save, the better.
