Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

Logically speaking, Hu Tao did nothing wrong, and even did the right thing.

But no matter how you look at it, the three women seem very, very strange.

But Su Hao was different. He widened his eyes slightly, and a rather pleased smile even appeared on his lips.

It's here, it's here! The scene he's been eagerly anticipating has arrived.

Zhongli has always wanted to hide his identity and interact with others as an ordinary person, but those who know his identity are all famous figures in Liyue.

This leads to a rather awkward situation: what happens when an ordinary person like him encounters a noble immortal?

The result was obvious: Hu Tao, now the 77th generation head of the Hall of Rebirth, led Zhong Li to pay their respects to True Lord Liu Yun.

Even though Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun is currently in crane form instead of human form, Su Hao can still see the fear in her body language and pupils.

Yes, it was definitely terror.

It's true that Emperor Yan and True Lord Liuyun are friends, but that's in private.

On the surface, when Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun met Yan Wang Dijun, it was she who bowed to the Emperor, not the other way around.

Although the Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord is not some stubborn old-fashioned person, she also has her own unique set of rules.

But no matter what, making the Emperor bow to her is really going too far!

Seeing this surreal scene, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng wanted to slap himself repeatedly. Why did he suddenly want to stay?! Couldn't he have just left?!

If I leave here, I won't have to face such an embarrassing situation.

"No... there's no need for formalities."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun quickly recovered and said in a slightly trembling voice, "It's good that you have this intention, but I'm not used to being bowed to. This is fine."

"Moreover, you are the head of the Hall of Rebirth, and I have a connection with your ancestors."

Faced with the words of Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Hu Tao revealed a rather embarrassed smile, because of the history of the Wangsheng Hall.

She was still aware that, in Liyue Harbor, besides the Seven Stars of Liyue, her Hall of Rebirth also had a way to communicate with the Celestials.

The legendary "Unrestricted Talisman" that supposedly grants access to immortality is also available at their Rebirth Hall, but it has never been used by any of the hall's past leaders.

When Hu Tao saw the legendary "Treasure Book of No Taboos," she played with it for a while before tossing it aside to collect dust.

Unless it's something extremely important, Hu Tao won't use this thing to find the immortals.

Moreover... even without this thing, she can still meet immortals by virtue of her status as the head of the Hall of Rebirth.

Seeing that the legendary, eccentric True Lord Liuyun was being so polite, Hu Tao naturally wouldn't just nod and say "okay" like a simpleton, so she didn't bother with the formalities.

Etiquette is important. Although Hu Tao sometimes seems clumsy, she still takes it very seriously.

After all, since Wangshengtang mainly deals in the funeral industry, etiquette is naturally indispensable.

"No, Immortal Master, you're too kind." Hu Tao insisted on bowing, and even pulled Zhong Li along, saying, "Guest Master, please bow with me."

This caused Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun to break out in a cold sweat, and his body began to tremble slightly.

That won't do! If the Emperor were to actually bow to me, let alone whether he would even care.

Those old friends, upon learning of this, will probably laugh at me immediately.

Even the Cloud-Borrowing Wind True Lord has a sense of shame!

"Alright, Hall Master Hu." Zhongli wouldn't linger with True Monarch Yun Jiefeng. Seeing her troubled expression, he said softly, "If the immortals don't want us to pay our respects, we don't need to force them."

"If you force yourself to bow, it will displease the immortals, which would be putting the cart before the horse."

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Hu Tao blinked and looked at Zhongli with great curiosity.

I never expected that Zhongli, who always values ​​etiquette, would suddenly have an "aha" moment today! But this "aha" moment is rather subtle.

Paying respects to the deities is an extremely rare opportunity; many people would love to do so but never have the chance.

"Yes!!! Your Majesty... cough cough! This guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth is right." Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun almost blurted out "Your Majesty is right," but fortunately she reacted quickly enough.

He should have kept his mouth shut in time, otherwise, if he had said "Emperor," his identity as Emperor might have had to be changed.

"Hu Tao, Zhong Li, you don't need to bow."

After seeing Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun's attitude, Paimon also advised, "We are all acquaintances, you are being too distant."

“Yes,” Shen He also spoke up, looking at Hu Tao calmly and saying, “Master doesn’t like these roundabout things.”

“That’s right.” Ella also spoke up, looking at Hu Tao in a serious tone, “If you insist on bowing to show your respect, why not find some wonderful little gadgets to amuse your master?”

Upon hearing that his two disciples had come to his rescue, True Lord Liuyun was deeply moved.

What wonderful students! It wasn't a waste of time training you all!

"Okay~"

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Hu Tao didn't insist on bowing.

Then she blinked and looked at everyone, saying, "So, what are you all doing here? Having a meal together?"

"Want me to show you what I've got?!"

Clearly, Walnut was eager to cook a big meal for everyone. Since Klee was temporarily away, and she had nothing better to do, she might as well cook a meal for everyone!

After the "A Bite of Liyue" series ended, Hu Tao improved her cooking skills, believing that people would be able to accept her creations.

"Wow……!!!!"

Upon hearing this, Paimon seemed to have his memories resurfaced, revealing a rather terrifying expression.

Clearly, at this moment, Paimon recalled the fear of being dominated by walnuts [food].

"..."

Ying didn't speak. Looking at Paimon's expression, she knew that he had recalled the Liyue incident from "Tongue on the Tongue".

“Hu Tao…” Paimon looked at Hu Tao and said in a rather unfriendly tone, “Have you ever eaten anything you made yourself?”

Hu Tao blinked. She clearly sensed that Paimon's voice was off. She scratched her head, obviously recalling the Liyue event on the tip of her tongue.

After Paimon ate his food, he rolled his eyes and said it was delicious, as if he were under a curse.

"I've eaten." Hu Tao's voice lowered and became somewhat weak as she said, "Because as a chef, I definitely have to eat the food I make."

"If you can't even finish eating it yourself, how can you give it to others?"

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, Paimon's eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted.

She really wanted to ask Hu Tao, "You ate it and then gave it to someone else?!"

But she wasn't really stupid. She thought about it again and realized that she had eaten the walnuts herself and was perfectly fine, which was why she gave them to others.

This left Paimon speechless, so he could only stomp his foot in frustration to show how angry he was! The consequences would be severe!!!

"interesting."

At this moment, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, seeing the awkward scene had left, looked at Hu Tao with some curiosity and asked, "Is there anything special about the food you made?"

"Perfect timing. I also have some knowledge of the art of cooking. If you'd like, you can let me taste the dishes you've prepared."

"With my understanding of food, I can certainly give you some pointers."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun wanted to taste the delicacies of walnuts, though he didn't know why the little flying creature had such an expression.

But immortals like Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, who are extremely curious, naturally want to taste the delicacies made from walnuts.

"No!"

"Absolutely not!"

"Master is no good."

Su Hao, Ella, and Shen He spoke at the same time, telling Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun not to court death.

That's a dish that even Barbatos fainted from eating!!! You, a celestial being, shouldn't eat it!!!

If it turns out to be like Paimon, then things will get really interesting.

Su Hao even had his lines ready: "The immortals have been assassinated! Seal off the scene!!!"

"?????"

This was the first time that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun had seen Su Hao, Ella, and Shen He all say "no" in such unison.

"Alright, this immortal will not taste it."

Seeing the three objections, True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng did not force them. However, she looked at Hu Tao, who had a somewhat disappointed expression, with curiosity in her eyes.

What kind of food could possibly make all three of them so unanimously oppose it?!

It really piqued her curiosity.

"Ugh."

Zhong Li sighed. He knew Liu Yun was definitely curious. Even if she didn't eat it now, she would definitely find an opportunity to have Hu Tao make her a delicious dish to taste.

Don't ask, after thousands of years, doesn't Zhongli know his old friend's personality?

However, Zhongli did not intend to persuade him, because if he went over to do so...

I estimate that the next day, I will be able to see the fallen Lord Liuyun Jiefeng in the Hall of Rebirth.

Unless he issues a direct order, but considering that no one has ever died from eating walnut dishes, he doesn't plan to interfere.

This serves as a lesson for Liu Yun: don't be too curious about certain things; excessive curiosity will not end well.

"Phew." Su Hao quietly breathed a sigh of relief, clearly feeling that he had stopped Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun.

Shen He and Ella also looked somewhat relaxed, because if Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun really ate Hu Tao's dish.

That might really cause trouble. Maybe the next time I see Hu Tao, it will be in prison, not in the shrine of the dead.

"More importantly, where did Abel take Klee?"

Hu Tao has a very cheerful personality and wasn't bothered by her cooking.

Because she was more concerned about Klee's condition than about cooking, she had promised the little one that she would take her to have a good time in Liyue.

“We don’t know.” Hisaki Shinobu shook her head and looked at Kurumi calmly, saying, “Because Abedo didn’t say either, he just took Klee out.”

Coral Palace Xin Hai added, "Perhaps they went to see a friend. If you're in a hurry, we'll let you know when they get back."

"After all, the Hall of Rebirth is right next door. It won't take us long to inform you."
