I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"Paimon, you're still as greedy as ever."

"Who?"

The sudden sound instantly drew their attention, but upon seeing who it was, they were immediately filled with surprise and delight.

"Li Xiao?!"

"This is Li Xiao~ Long time no see, Ying, Paimon."

Li Xiao greeted them with a smile.

Paimon quickly flew over and asked:

"Li Xiao, why are you here?"

"Because I heard that Ying had come to Liyue, I was worried that something might happen to you, so I rushed over as well."

Li Xiao naturally speaks to people in a way that suits them, and to ghosts in a way that suits them.

Wow! Li Xiao, you're so great!

The naive Paimon believed it instantly.

But Ying squinted, looking somewhat incredulous.

After all, this guy rarely saw me when I was still in Mondstadt. If he really cared about me, why would he act like this?

She felt it was more likely that he was originally going to come to Liyue and just happened to run into him.

"Oh, right, Ying, I've also arranged accommodations for you two. After you've rested, I'll take you to the best restaurant in Liyue for dinner."

"Really? Li Xiao, you're so kind!"

Faced with such a temptation, Ying instantly abandoned her previous thoughts and loudly praised Li Xiao.

So, Li Xiao led the two of them to the Hall of Rebirth.

"Are they?"

Hu Tao, who was studying the publicity plan at the Rebirth Hall, saw Li Xiao leading two people back and asked a question.

"Master Hu, have you forgotten? This is the traveler Ying and her companion Paimon that I told you about before. They agreed to stay here temporarily."

Hu Tao blinked and instantly understood what Li Xiao meant.

She slapped her forehead, feigning sudden realization.

"Oh, I remember now. I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot. I'll have someone arrange accommodation for them right away."

She summoned the insignificant True Lord who was in the Hall of Rebirth and asked him to arrange accommodation for the two of them.

After the three of them left, Hu Tao asked Li Xiao a question.

"Li Xiao, who are they?"

"Ying is my friend. She's quite capable, and she's hardworking. She can get a lot done with just a little Mora."

"Oh, I see. You want me to use her as a laborer? Are you really friends?"

"Don't talk nonsense. How could I think that? I just wanted you to arrange a good job for her so she wouldn't be running around all the time."

"That's no problem. I'll have her come with me to hand out flyers tomorrow!"

Handing out flyers... If Hotaru hands out flyers with Kurumi, won't she get beaten up?

"Hu Tao, you can also recruit Ying as a guest minister."

Hu Tao raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Is there anything special about her?

"Her future achievements will be no less than those of the gods; she can be considered the world's chosen savior."

"Savior......"

Hu Tao's eyes lit up.

Savior... If others find out that Ying is an employee of the Hall of Rebirth, and with Li Xiao, the Wind God, also involved, wouldn't the Hall of Rebirth instantly become an existence that no one in Teyvat dares to mess with?

As for why the world needs saving? Hu Tao felt that he was just a small person, and that even if the sky fell, the Seven Gods would hold it up.

So she didn't want to worry about it; she just needed to manage the small plot of land that was the Rebirth Hall.

Ying didn't take too long to tidy up; she quickly washed up and came out.

Looking at Ying's completely transformed appearance, Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and looked at Ying's feet with a bit of regret.

What a blunder! I completely forgot to appreciate Ying's jade-like feet after all these days of travel.

When Hu Tao saw Ying come out, she quickly went to greet her and said very warmly:

"Ying, are you hungry? Do you want me to treat you to a nice meal?"

"Forehead......"

Ying was a little taken aback by Hu Tao's sudden enthusiasm and cast a questioning look at Li Xiao.

"Ying, actually, this Master Hu heard about your deeds and was planning to recruit you as an employee of the Rebirth Hall."

"Eh? No problem, as long as there's enough Mora..."

Before Ying could finish speaking, Hu Tao readily agreed.

"No problem, I'll give you three times Zhongli's salary too!"

"Zhongli?"

Ying was a little confused when she heard a new name.

"Zhongli and I are currently both guest elders of the Hall of Rebirth, and our salaries are as follows."

Li Xiao made a gesture towards Ying.

Ying's eyes widened in surprise. "There are so many?"

And what did Hu Tao just say about triple pay?!

The expression on Ying's face instantly hardened.

"Please make me an employee of the Rebirth Hall."

Just kidding, with such a high salary, why would she bother going to the Adventurers' Guild every day to take on missions?

"Haha, from now on you will be the third guest elder of our Hall of Rebirth!"

Hu Tao seemed very excited, as this brought them one step closer to the expansion of Wangshengtang!

The two were delighted and instantly became good friends.

Li Xiao glanced at the sky and offered a word of advice.

"It's time to eat. Let's find a nice place to have a meal, which can be considered a welcome back dinner for Ying."

"Yes, yes, it's time for us to eat!"

Paimon got excited the moment he heard about food.

"Let's go then!"

Hu Tao naturally had no objection to this, and with a wave of her hand, she walked to the front to lead the way.

Under her guidance, the group arrived at Tiger Rock.

"Wanmin Hall... Is this the best restaurant in Liyue that you mentioned, Li Xiao?"

As Paimon flew through the air, looking at the Wanmin Hall, which was decorated in a rather unremarkable way, he asked a question with some confusion.

"Paymont, what do you think the best hotel should be like?"

“Hmm…” Paimon tapped his chin, looking thoughtful.

"At the very least, it should be decorated in a lavish and opulent style, right?"

"shallow!"

Paimon got annoyed. "Then tell me what happened!"

"The most important thing for a restaurant is the taste! And to make the taste good, you need a good chef! And coincidentally, Wanmintang has the best chef in Liyue, Xiangling!"

"Xiang Ling?"

Ying and Paimon spoke with some surprise and uncertainty.

"Oh? It seems you know Xiangling?"

Li Xiao almost forgot that he had met Xiang Ling in Mengdeying.

“We do know Xiangling; she’s also a chef. Come to think of it, she seems to have mentioned before that she’s a chef at Wanmintang.”

"Hey! Li Xiao, you have great taste! Xiangling's cooking is delicious! Besides, Xiangling and I are good friends. Since you know Xiangling too, Ying, I'll take you to her!"

Walnut put her hands on her hips and spoke smugly.

She led the group through the lobby to a small room next to the kitchen.

This is where employees rest and eat; usually, no one comes here.

Of course, since Hu Tao and Xiang Ling are good friends, with her leading the way, no one will stop them.

"Guoba! Take that dish to the guest!"

It was lunchtime, and the kitchen at Wanmintang was very busy. Xiangling, the head chef, was stirring three large woks.

"Xiangling, we've come to find you!"

Before Hu Tao even entered, her voice came first.

"Huh? Walnut? Wait for me, let me finish this!"

Xiangling quickly prepared and plated the dishes in her hands, then instructed Guoba to deliver them to the guests before wiping away her sweat and preparing to rest for a while.

"Hu Tao, what brings you here? And are these your new friends? Oh? Ying and Paimon are here too?"
