Starry Sky Train, I opened a small shop on the train

Chapter 449, The Sky Milk Tea Shop
Paimon then had a sudden inspiration and said...

"Ying, we can go find Kong. Didn't he say he's already traveled once? He must be very familiar with Sumeru, right?"

How about we capture him and use him as our guide?

Paimon's words left everyone stunned.

Ying stared at Paimon with a face full of doubt.

"Something's not right with you, something's really wrong with you. Is this something that little fool Paimon would say? I don't believe it!"

Hoshino, Kurumi, and Kiana all shook their heads.

“We don’t believe it either.”

Amber grabbed Paimon and shook him violently.

"Get out of here! Whoever you are, get off Paimon right now!"

Is that something Paimon would say?

"Give Paimon back to us! Come out! Nutcracker! Try using the exorcism talisman!"

With a flick of his fingers, Hu Tao conjured a talisman out of thin air.

"Hurry up and obey the order!"

The spell entered Paimon's body, and Amber stopped shaking, staring intently at Paimon.

Once Paimon recovered, he bit Amber's hand, causing Amber to quickly release him in pain.

"Amber! You've gone too far! I'm ignoring you!"

Hu Tao, Ying, and the others whispered among themselves.

"It bites! There must be something dirty inside."

"I think so too."

"But the exorcism talisman isn't working, what should we do?"

"I have a plan! Watch me!"

Ying took out a bag of Paimon's favorite potato chips and held it in front of Paimon's nose.

Everyone understood.

"Oh! How come I didn't think of that? All we need to do is awaken Paimon's soul and let her regain control of her body!"

"Ying is so clever, she actually came up with this idea."

Will this tactic work?

"Yes, many horror movies say that, and it's definitely effective."

Paimon was furious after hearing everyone's conversation.

"I!!! I'm not playing with you guys anymore!"

Walnut! Don't blame me! You provoked me first!
Listen up, everyone! Yesterday at noon, Hu Tao tried to catch a butterfly but tripped and fell flat on her face!
And Amber! Don't think I don't know, your flight license was revoked again yesterday for misusing the Wind Wings in New Mondstadt!
And you! Star! You were hugging and kissing a trash can like crazy last night!

Especially you! Ying! You were drooling in your sleep last night!

I don't want the hush money you're offering me!

As he spoke, Paimon pulled out a bunch of snacks and threw them at Ying, Hu Tao, and the others.

This left Xing, Ying, and Hu Tao in an awkward situation.

Damn it! This looks like a real Paimon!
Himeko, Welt, and the others had incredibly interesting expressions as they looked at Ying, Kurumi, and Amber with satisfaction and surprise.

Just as Paimon was about to continue speaking, Ying rushed over and covered her mouth.

If Paimon keeps talking, all of our dark histories will be exposed, and then we'll be too ashamed to face anyone.

"Listen! We believe you are Paimon!"

Paimon pried Ying's hand away.

"I'm angry! I'm going to say it! I'm going to expose all your dirty secrets! Come on! I'm going to reveal all your dark histories!"

Hu Tao silently took out a bag of potato chips and handed it to Paimon.

"Paymon, a bag of potato chips, how about we make up?"

Paimon glanced at the potato chips, snorted, and turned his head away, refusing to accept Walnut's apology.

Hu Tao sighed.

"It seems I have no choice but to use my ultimate move!"

Amber was startled by his words. "It can't be that move, can it?"

Xing was also surprised.

"Hu Tao! Are you really going to do this?"

Hu Tao nodded seriously, her eyes fixed on Paimon, making Paimon feel a little uneasy.

suddenly!

Hu Tao pulled out a large snack gift bag and threw it at Paimon.

"Take your snacks! Shut your mouth! Go play somewhere else!"

Paimon was showered with a large bag of snacks, but she wasn't angry at all; instead, she seemed to be overwhelmed with happiness.

"Okay! I'm leaving!"

Paimon flew away with great effort, dragging the snack gift bag. Seeing this, Milim went over to help, hoping to get some snacks herself.

Himeko sets a daily limit on Milim's snacks and rations to prevent Milim from overeating.

A while ago, Milim ate a full 100 kilograms of various snacks in one day, filling three large trash cans with the snack packaging.

From then on, Himeko set a daily quota for Milim, and if she exceeded it, she would be punished by not being allowed to come over for a day.

Ye Yun was very cooperative and offered to temporarily close the portal.

Milim can now only eat 3 packs of snacks a day, with a total weight not exceeding 1500g, and she must choose them under Himeko's supervision.

Now, while Himeko is chatting with others, we should quickly pull Paimon away to get some snacks.

Subsequently.

Xing, Hu Tao, and the others chatted for a while before deciding to go find Kong and ask him if he remembered the route to Sumeru.

New Teyvat, within Liyue Harbor.

On the top floor of the "Kongzhi Milk Tea Shop" headquarters building, Kong, dressed in a suit and tie, sat at his desk with a report in his hand.

"Okay, I understand. You can go now. We need to keep the new store open and seize this opportunity to quickly capture the market."

Let everyone in Teyvat drink our milk tea.

Also, how's the matter of contacting Xiangling at Wanmintang going? Has Xiangling expressed any interest in collaborating with us to help us develop milk tea?

"The secretary answered."

"We're trying to contact her. I've taken people to Wanmintang these past few days but haven't been able to get an appointment with Chef Xiangling. She's very busy every day."

I only heard this.

"Here's what we'll do: you take some people over there today and wait for her until she's done with her work, then you can talk to her about it."

"Let's talk before you leave work, and I'll give you triple pay for overtime."

The secretary was instantly energized upon hearing about triple overtime pay, and wished she could work overtime until she died.

Her salary is about 3000 Mora per hour, so three times that would be 9000 Mora!

9000 Mora an hour, that's amazing!
Moreover, there's no need to do anything else in between; you just need to wait for Xiangling to finish her work so you can talk to her.

Incidentally, she can also have a meal at Wanmintang. Wanmintang's business is getting better and better. Every day when she gets off work, there is already a long queue.

She had just gotten off work and was very, very hungry.

Therefore, she had no choice but to eat at another small restaurant.

"Yes, Chairman."

Kong nodded slightly.

"Well, you go and do your work first."

The secretary bowed slightly and left the office.

After the secretary left, Kong took off his glasses and let out a long sigh.

Although he is no longer a prince of the Abyss Order, he is now the owner of a milk tea shop with over 50 years of history.

He was extremely busy every day; doing business was much more troublesome than running a religious organization.

Running the Abyss Order mostly involves fighting.

Doing business is different; you have to take care of every aspect, and you'll be bogged down in a lot of trivial matters.

Kong picked up the teacup and blew on the steam rising from it. Just as he was about to drink, the office door was suddenly kicked open.

Kong sighed instantly. Without a doubt, who else would kick down his office door?
