Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

But having witnessed Mona using astrology, she couldn't resist seeking convenience.

During this exchange, the group soon arrived at Wangshu Inn, where the owner and manager personally came to greet the travelers.

Because the Traveler is now a well-known figure in Liyue, at least those with a minor official position know what kind of person Luminous is.

Moreover, the owner and manager of Wangshu Inn are also Ningguang's subordinates, so this mission was most likely issued at Ningguang's behest.

"Su! Lord Su Hao?!" X2

The owner and manager of Wangshu Inn stared wide-eyed at Su Hao, looking somewhat bewildered.

Because very few people knew about Su Hao's return to Liyue, they never expected that Su Hao, who should still be acting as the Grass God in Sumeru, would actually appear in front of them.

And the fact that he appeared alongside the Traveler means...?! Lord Su Hao is going to personally take action to annihilate the monsters?

Isn't this a bit inappropriate, involving the gods or something...?

Yes, in most people's minds, Su Hao is no longer a "human," but a god.

"What brings you here?!" Phil Goddette, the owner of Wangshu Inn, seemed quite bewildered.

The shopkeeper, Zhun'an, was also somewhat at a loss, as Su Hao's arrival was indeed not in their plans.

"Hello." This wasn't Su Hao's first time at Wangshu Inn. He looked at the innkeeper and the owner and smiled lightly. "Don't mind me, I came here with her."

Ying and Paimon stood to the side, hands on their hips, looking exceptionally proud.

Phil Gaudette and Juan looked at each other, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Alright~ We're already so familiar with each other! Just give us the information on the monsters!" Paimon said quickly, looking at Philgoldet and Junan. "Let's deal with the monsters around us as soon as possible."

"I'd love to have dinner here later. Is Yanxiao here? I haven't had his cooking in ages."

Upon hearing Paimon's words, Philgoldette finally reacted. She glanced at Su Hao and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, he's upstairs. But regarding the monsters, shopkeeper..."

Zhun'an also revealed the details of this commission: there are three monster gathering points around Wangshu Inn.

Although it is unclear how they gathered together, this situation is having a significant impact on the guests who come to rest at Wangshu Inn.

Zhun'an is quite strong, but as the innkeeper, he has to protect Wangshu Inn. What if the monsters attack the inn if he leaves?

This has happened before. Some time ago, Zhun'an went to deal with a monster gathering point. As soon as he left, a group of Hilichurls lingered around the Wangshu Inn.

This startled Philgoldet, because at that time the Thousand Rock Army patrol had just left, and Jun'an had also left. Apart from the other customers, only Yanxiao was capable of fighting in the entire shop.

Yan Xiao even wanted to grab a kitchen knife and fight the monster.

As a result, the immortals staying at the Wangshu Inn took action, and they dealt with all the demons in less than three seconds before disappearing from the spot.

This made Zhun'an feel deeply guilty upon his return, and he later decided to entrust the task of exterminating the monsters to the Adventurers' Guild, asking them to send people to help.

This time, they happened to hear that Ying had emerged from the Abyss of Layered Rocks. Knowing the strength of this blonde traveler, they sent the request through the Adventurers' Guild without hesitation.

To everyone's surprise, this blond traveler actually brought Su Hao along; this was truly astonishing.

Despite the initial shock, Zhun'an still handed the information to the Traveler, warning that a powerful Rock-Helm Hilichurl King was inside and urging the Traveler to be careful...

Filgott looked at the innkeeper with a somewhat subtle expression. Was he telling the traveler to be careful, or the Rockhelm Hilichurl King to be careful?

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Lord Su Hao is here means that all demons will be no problem.

Paimon noticed Philgold's gaze, patted her chest, and said with a smile, "Yeah! Su Hao doesn't need to lift a finger! The Traveler and Mona alone can handle these monsters!"

“Don’t include me.” Mona waved her hand and quickly refused, “I’m just an astrologer, I don’t have the power of a traveler.”

"I'm fine with playing support, but I'd rather not play in actual combat. My old lady didn't teach me any of that."

Upon hearing Mona's words, Ying looked at her with a subtle gaze, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Although Mona's strength is relatively weak, it doesn't mean she has none; otherwise, she wouldn't have appeared alone around the Laminar Abyss.

In other words, if Mona were truly weak, she wouldn't have appeared in such a dangerous place; the area around the Layered Rock Abyss is indeed very dangerous.

Besides the ubiquitous treasure-hunting groups, there are also a host of monsters, so even with the Thousand Rock Army patrolling, safety isn't guaranteed.

This is why the restart of the Layered Rock Abyss involved so many Thousand Rock Army soldiers; there was a reason for it.

Ying saw through it but didn't expose it. After all, this was her mission, and Su Hao and Mona had come with her. They could enjoy the scenery while she focused on the battle.

After receiving intelligence from Zhun'an, Ying immediately took action, planning to eliminate the three monster gathering points around Wangshu Inn within an hour.

It was almost lunchtime, and Ying, a food enthusiast, still vividly remembered the delicious food Yanxiao had created at the last food event.

Even without the legendary cooking utensils, the food that Yanxiao creates is enough to conquer Ying and Paimon.

In a sense, Ying was also planning to have a meal at Wangshu Inn after accepting their mission.

You see, after she finishes the ritual of inviting immortals, she's going on a trip to Inazuma, and she probably won't be back in Liyue for a while.

Although there is still about a month before the invocation ceremony.

But time flies by in the blink of an eye, so Ying cherishes her time and hopes to complete what she needs to do in Liyue in the shortest possible time.

And so, under the watchful eyes of Philgoldet and Zhun'an, Su Hao, Ying, Paimon, and Mona headed toward the monster gathering point.

“Manager,” Philgoldette said to Zhun’an, her tone somewhat complicated, “Let’s get Yanxiao to cook quickly.”

"I think it won't be long before they come back."

Zhun An nodded in agreement, then took the elevator up and told Yan Xiao what had just happened.

Upon hearing that Su Hao and the traveling companions were coming over for dinner, Yan Xiao rolled up her sleeves without saying a word, ready to get down to business.

On the other side, Ying was wreaking havoc, although her strength was not yet at the peak of the Demon God level like Kong's.

But dealing with these monsters right now is more than enough, including the strongest one, which is the Rockhelm Hilichurl King that Zhun'an mentioned.

Even the Rock-Helm Hilichurl King struggled for a moment before being killed on the spot by Luminous.

After the battle ended, Su Hao clapped his hands and said with some emotion, "Your strength has improved a lot, and your control over rock elemental power is even stronger."

Yes, Ying is stronger than before, and Su Hao can also see that her control over rock elemental power has improved a lot.

Ying did make a move in the Abyss of Rock, but her use of the Geo element was rather crude at the time, while she was quite skilled in using the Anemo element.

Now, three months have passed, and not only has her overall strength improved, but her control over the rock element has also increased significantly.

Ying is now qualified to fight Tartaglia.

Yes, judging from their fighting qualifications, Su Hao could tell that Ying's current strength had not yet recovered to the point where she could defeat Tartaglia.

However, if the two sides engage in a fierce battle, Dattaria will use the Demon King's Armor, and in a short period of time, Luminosity, who is skilled in using dual elemental powers, will not be at a disadvantage.

If Dadalia were to use the powers of the Ice Queen, then Luminous would likely be defeated.

"Hmph! Of course!" Paimon puffed out her chest again, quite proudly saying, "The Traveler hones his strength without stopping for a moment in the Abyss of the Rocky Lair."

"However, recently, the Traveler's strength has been improving at a slower and slower pace."

Ying nodded slightly and looked at Su Hao as she replied, "So we plan to go to Inazuma next to see if we can obtain lightning elemental power. If we have lightning elemental power, then we will have an advantage in terms of attack."

Although the seven elemental forces on the continent of Teyvat are roughly equal, everyone knows that fire and lightning are extremely powerful in terms of attack.

Nata Ying doesn't want to go for the time being. She has friends in Inazuma's area, and going there would be an excellent choice, whether for travel or training.

"Hmm." Su Hao nodded slightly, agreeing with Ying's idea. He said, "Don't forget the meaning of your journey."

"While improving your strength is important, what matters most is what you have experienced and witnessed on this continent of Teyvat."

As a traveler he once controlled, Su Hao still has deep feelings for Ying Mei, so this can be considered his heartfelt expression.

Ying's mind flashed with images of her brother, as well as her journey from Mondstadt to Liyue and the various messages in the chat group.

These events made Ying's expression turn serious, and she nodded very earnestly, indicating that she would never forget them.

"Alright, alright, it's time for us to eat." Mona rubbed her belly, indicating that she was starving.

Paimon, standing to the side, hesitated, because this was usually her line! How did Mona steal it from her?

“That’s right, the mission is complete, it’s time to eat.” Su Hao nodded, agreeing that it was indeed time to eat.

Ying also put her sword into her alternate dimension. She stretched and said, "Let's go back to Wangshu Inn."

The group headed towards Wangshu Inn, where Philgoldette and Zhun'an had been waiting for a long time. They told Yanxiao that she had already started cooking and that everyone should just wait patiently.

This surprised Paimon, who said he hadn't even placed an order yet! How could they start cooking already?!

Philgoldette smiled and said that this was an order from a certain lord. Since Lord Su Hao had come to Wangshu Inn, he should be served the best wine and food.

If they want to eat any other dishes, they will buy the ingredients and then have Yanxiao cook them.

Su Hao simply waved his hand to indicate that it was unnecessary.

Ying also shook her head, indicating that this was fine.

Paimon said he was very sorry, but his face was full of smiles.

Mona, on the other hand, was in a bad mood. She quietly opened her wallet and found that she didn't have much Mora left, which made her sigh.

And so, Su Hao and his group sat down and waited for the Wangshu Inn to serve their dishes.

While we were waiting... an uninvited guest arrived.

The servant Arecino appeared with her subordinates. She feigned surprise and looked at Su Hao and his group, saying, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chapter 405 Whale, Mysterious Phantom

The servant Arecino and two Raikou sorcerers appeared.

"What a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here."

Arecino appeared with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey, it doesn't look like you guys just happened to come here."

Even Paimon could see at this moment that Arecino's arrival was clearly not a coincidence.

What a coincidence! They just showed up when they were about to eat! They must be trying to freeload!

The clever Paimon felt he had seen through everything; this Fool's Enforcer, who called himself a servant, was definitely trying to freeload off him.

Both times they appeared, it was during meals. Who would believe they weren't trying to freeload?

"what's the matter?"

Su Hao remained calm, as he had already sensed the prying eyes while he was in Liyue Harbor.
