Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

In Ying's mind, an image appeared of a white soul eating a dish made from walnuts, then turning red, and finally flying into the sky with a "whoosh," transforming into a beautiful firework.

To be honest, that scene was absolutely explosive!

"I already said it was just a sudden idea," Hu Tao said, hands on her hips, clearly dissatisfied. She looked at everyone's expressions and added, "Besides, I haven't even made it yet."

"If we start making it, then it will be a truly earth-shattering, awe-inspiring dish!"

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it."

Hu Tao crossed her arms, looking very proud.

Everyone's expressions were somewhat peculiar upon seeing Hu Tao's appearance.

Her description alone was enough to amaze heaven and earth.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Paimon couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Hu Tao, saying quickly, "We came here because there's something very important!"

"Hu Tao, stop talking about the dishes you're about to cook and tell us about the important thing you have to say."

Ying nodded in agreement, then looked at Su Hao and Zhong Li and explained, "Hu Tao called us over, saying there's something very important she wants to tell Mr. Su Hao and Mr. Zhong Li."

"Originally, her next stop was Su Hao's house, but since Mr. Zhongli was here, she came here first."

"I didn't expect you two to be here, so now you can talk about that very important thing, right?"

Ying and Paimon didn't want to hear any more about Hu Tao's cooking if the conversation continued.

If the other party suddenly becomes interested and leaves in a hurry to make this dish, they will probably become the first victims.

Don't ask, the only answer is that the Rebirth Hall is just too close to Su Hao's house.

They're so close they could just climb over a wall to get here; they'd definitely be the first test subjects.

Seeing that the Traveler and Paimon had both said so, Hu Tao slapped her forehead and belatedly realized, "Yes, I almost forgot about this important matter."

Hu Tao coughed a few times, then looked at Zhong Li seriously and said, "Guest Elder, how have I treated you normally?"

When Hu Tao asked about this, Zhong Li paused for a moment before saying, "Master Hu treats me very well. He not only reimburses me for the things I buy, but also often grants me leave unconditionally."

"They even trust me completely, entrusting me with such an important matter as the ceremonial ceremony for the immortals."

Putting aside Walnut's usual strange ideas, her extremely active promotion of the Rebirth Hall business, and her excellent cooking skills.

Hu Tao is an excellent boss. She not only helps her subordinates solve problems, but also readily reimburses them for purchases and even grants them leave unconditionally.

These points alone are enough to prove that Hu Tao is a good boss.

Zhongli asked Hu Tao for leave several times, always when the Rebirth Hall was extremely busy.

Without a second thought, Hu Tao told the other person to go ahead and do their work, saying that he would take care of it himself.

Perhaps that's why Zhongli felt so helpless with Hu Tao; even if she did something wrong, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Yes, yes, yes~" Hu Tao smiled very happily, clearly very satisfied with Zhong Li's evaluation.

After all, it's a good thing to be praised.

"Therefore, I, the master of this hall, have decided to treat you to a big meal!"

Hu Tao chuckled and winked at Su Hao and Zhong Li, saying, "After all, we've been busy for so long, it's time to treat ourselves."

"As the saying goes, there's no time like the present! Today, I, the head of this hall, will treat you to a feast!"

"The location has been chosen; it's the Glazed Pavilion!"

Su Hao was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that the big event Hu Tao mentioned was actually a dinner party? And it was on the day of the Sending-Off Ceremony.

Isn't this a bit inappropriate? We just saw off [Emperor Yan], and she's already treating us to dinner today.

Su Hao was a little confused, but he still looked at Hu Tao and asked, "Hu Tao, isn't this a bit inappropriate? After all, today's situation is somewhat special."

Hu Tao naturally understood Su Hao's meaning. She waved her hand dismissively and replied very seriously, "Does the Emperor want us to continue to be sad?"

"Moreover, both Seven Stars and you have said that Liyue is currently an era of humans and immortals, and the path will continue to extend."

"Therefore, I think that instead of spending today in tears like everyone else, it would be better to go to the Glass Pavilion and welcome a new day with joy."

Hu Tao's words make a lot of sense.

Both Su Hao and Qi Xing have said that we should celebrate happily when facing the future of the era of humans and immortals.

The arrival of a new era cannot be greeted with everyone frowning and looking miserable.

Today is the farewell ceremony for the immortals, and [Emperor Yan Wang] is officially announcing his passing. Everyone feels heavy-hearted and can't even manage a smile.

Just kidding, this is the send-off ceremony for the [Geo King]! Anyone who dares to laugh at this crucial moment will probably get beaten up by the angry Liyue people around them.

Therefore, Hu Tao's words, in a sense, were somewhat rebellious.

But the meaning she expressed was exactly what Zhongli had hoped for.

"Master Hu is absolutely right." Zhongli nodded in agreement. Wasn't he personally handling his own funeral precisely to make Liyue's future better?

And today is indeed a day worth celebrating. After completing the ritual of sending off the immortals, he felt an unprecedented sense of ease.

From then on, all the miscellaneous matters in Liyue were left to Seven Stars to handle, so he only needed to live a peaceful and ordinary life.

For example, listening to music? Listening to an audiobook? Enjoying a delicious meal? Taking a leisurely stroll through the world, etc.

“Right~” Hu Tao was very happy to see that Zhong Li agreed with her, and said, “As expected of a guest elder, you really understand what I mean.”

"So, Su Hao, what do you say? Would you like to join us for a meal? It's rare for me to treat you!"

Hu Tao looked at Su Hao with her expressive eyes, eagerly awaiting his answer.

"Yes, of course I'll come." Su Hao nodded helplessly when he saw Hu Tao's big, bright eyes that seemed to speak volumes.

When Hu Tao was performing the ritual to invite the immortals, she mentioned that she would be hosting the event that evening.

As a result of various things, the dinner party didn't take place that day. But this time, for the ceremonial ceremony, the other party planned to hold a grand dinner party.

As Hu Tao's good friend, Su Hao naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Great!" Hu Tao was particularly happy. She looked at Su Hao and said, "Call as many people as you can. I've made quite a bit of money lately."

"We've booked the entire Liuli Pavilion, even though there probably aren't many guests there today."

"But guest advisor, remember to call all your friends over! This master will be taking his leave now."

"Traveler, Paimon, thank you for your help~ This master is going to take care of something important now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Tao skipped and hopped away towards the outside of Yujingtai, apparently to prepare for tonight's dinner party.

"Wow...they booked out the entire Liuli Pavilion?!" Paimon, belatedly realizing what was happening, couldn't help but gasp in disbelief, "Is Hu Tao that rich?"

"You just booked the entire Liuli Pavilion like that?! That's the most famous Liyue restaurant!"

Booking Wanmintang is not unusual, but booking Liuliting is no small matter.

Zhongli, however, thought it was quite normal. He slowly explained, "Today's situation is special. I'm afraid not many people will be eating. The Sending Immortal Ceremony is different from the Inviting Immortal Ceremony. I'm afraid many shops will be closed today."

"However, Master Hu should have guessed this long ago, so he should have communicated with the owner of Liuli Pavilion in advance."

"With Master Hu's reputation in Liyue and the Mora that the Hall of Rebirth has recently earned, it's not difficult to book the Glass Pavilion."

After hearing what Zhongli said, Paimon also felt that it seemed to make sense, especially during this special period.

Everyone was too preoccupied with sadness to think about eating; only Hu Tao's thought process was different from everyone else's.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

At this moment, Wendy poked his head out, grinning at Zhongli, and said, "As the old man's colleague, I'm definitely getting a free meal here!"

"Why don't you all come along? Since everyone's leaving after today, why not have a meal together to celebrate the old man's passing?"

Wendy looked at the gods around her and asked them to have dinner together.

"I have no objection." Raiden Shin indicated that he had no objection.

Lei Yingdian nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

Nasita also thought it was a good idea, because as long as she didn't have to go back to deal with all sorts of things in Sumeru, it was fine!

The Great Compassion Tree King maintained her gentle smile, because it didn't matter whether she went or not, since this projection couldn't eat anything anyway. However, since it was a rare gathering, she might as well go and join in.

After all, she was Zhongli's superior, the same Hu Tangzhu who, although not in the chat group, had already spread her fame throughout the chat group.

"If there's a delicious meal invitation, then I have no choice but to go!"

King Rota was very much looking forward to it; ever since he broke the seal, he had wanted to try the delicacies of Liyue.

Previously, he was in beast form. Although everyone in the group said they wanted to bring him food, Nagarjuna always felt it was too much trouble, so he said forget it.

Now that he has broken the seal and arrived in Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao says that a table of delicious food awaits him.

How could the Dragon King Ruoduo possibly refuse?! Anyway, he can just come over as Zhongli's friend.

"Ugh……"

Zhongli felt inexplicably tired. He suddenly had a bad feeling that the meal would probably be chaotic again.

Of all things to say, Master Hu had to bring it up and invite his friends along.

"I'll call some people from the group too." Su Hao was also preparing to call for more people. Hu Tao rarely treated everyone, and she even booked the Liuli Pavilion.

It would be a disservice to her generosity not to invite more people.

Su Hao was just curious about why Hu Tao had left in such a hurry, saying she had something important to do.

What exactly is this big event? This piqued Su Hao's curiosity.

Does Hu Tao want to invite some important person over for dinner?

Su Hao thought for a moment, then immediately gave up. The reason was simple: if he could keep up with Hu Tao's way of thinking, something would be wrong!

P.S.: "Out of drafts! Ah~ I haven't written anything for over ten days during the Chinese New Year! My skills are a bit rusty!"

Chapter 488 Attending the Banquet

The farewell ceremony for the immortals was over, and everyone was preparing to go back, including Su Hao.

Zhongli, Ruotu Dragon King, and the other deities planned to go to a quiet place to discuss certain matters.

They also asked Su Hao if he was interested in coming to listen, but Su Hao said he was tired and didn't want to listen. He suggested that Su Hao organize the dinner activities at Liuli Pavilion tonight instead.

Judging from Hu Tao's behavior, the other party is clearly planning something big!
