Not long after they finished their work, Xiaogong returned, and the group discussed in the courtyard how to decorate this and how to set off that, whether to launch the fireworks into the sky in a spiral or a rocket tonight, and whether to have stir-fried slime or chilled slime for lunch.

When Su Zhe came out of the room, everyone was already busy.

"Huh? Su Zhe, you're home?"

The girls looked over, and Xiangling sniffed.

"It has a strange smell."

"What strange smell?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it smells like some kind of flower. I remember using it as an ingredient before."

Su Zhe's lips twitched slightly, and he immediately changed the subject, asking, "Have you bought everything?"

"We're still missing a few ingredients. Let's go this afternoon. Let's get these decorations ready first. Xiangling said she'd like to come along tonight, is that alright?"

"Of course, Xiangling is the head chef and is fully qualified."

"Oh right, where's that purple-haired guy who looks really powerful?"

Paimon asked curiously, "She's not going to wait until everything is ready before she comes, is she?"

"Purple hair?" Xiangling tilted her head. "Is it impressive? How impressive?"

"I don't know how powerful he is, but I feel like he's no weaker than Su Zhe, and he looks like... well, like a thunderbolt that could explode at any moment, you know? Like when thunder roars and explodes down."

Paimon said in an exaggerated tone.

Wow! That's really impressive.

"Lulu!"

"Alright, alright." Su Zhe waved his hand. "Don't worry, she's powerful, but she won't kill people indiscriminately. Also, she's not some purple-haired girl. You can just call her Shadow."

"Shadow? What a strange name."

Their attention was successfully diverted, and after a while, Ba Che came over with Lotia.

Ba Che smiled with satisfaction, while Lotia was a little confused as to why this senior was acting so strangely today. He used to always be squatting in the corner picking flowers.

"You two hang those lanterns up."

Su Zhe said to them.

The two manipulated water elements, transforming them into tentacles that danced wildly like silver snakes in the courtyard, leaving Xiangling completely bewildered.

Ying patted her on the shoulder, indicating that she shouldn't be surprised, that this was nothing, and that everyone in this courtyard was capable.

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a whoosh, and the fireworks exploded on the spot without even going up into the sky. Xiao Gong ran over, covered in soot.

"Pah! It failed. It seems this idea isn't so easy to succeed."

Xiangling clicked her tongue.

"It looks dangerous."

Su Zhe glanced at him and said, "You have the nerve to talk about others like that? You use Pyroblast Tree as an ingredient when you cook a dish, why don't you go hunt Stormterror in Mondstadt and cook a dish with its meat?"

Xiangling blinked but didn't say anything.

"???"

Xiangling blinked again.

"You're not really going, are you?"

"I went, but I gave up after just one look. I couldn't beat them, no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't beat them."

Guoba (shaking his head): "Lulu~"

Although she went, Xiangling didn't actually intend to hunt Dvalin; she just wanted to borrow a piece of meat from him.

After all, a dragon is so big, losing a piece of its flesh is no big deal, right?

However, after witnessing Tvalin's 'heroic figure' firsthand, she immediately abandoned the idea.

People will die.

Grandma said that as long as she's alive, she can cook even more delicious dishes in the future.

So Xiangling decisively went to the slime next door and created a summer delicacy of frozen slime.

See, this is what they mean by surviving a great calamity and being blessed with good fortune.

You're awesome!

Su Zhe gave her a thumbs up, then waved and walked out.

"Don't wait for me to have lunch."

"Husband, where are you going?"

"Go kill a Fireball Tree, I'll be back this afternoon."

Ba Che wanted to follow and spray water, but Su Zhe stopped him.

What a joke! Last night was alright, but just now it was really life-threatening. It's only because he has the body of a demon god that he could survive. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dried up long ago.

For creatures that can spray water, spraying water is a pleasure in itself.

As the saying goes, there are no fields that are over-cultivated, only oxen that have died from exhaustion.

No, it was a demon god who died from exhaustion.

...

The Pyroblast Tree appears near Tianqiu Valley, not far from Liyue Harbor.

Su Zhe often went to that place in the game. After all, it was a fire-type material. Those who know, know. It was a breakthrough material for the elite. He could only trouble the Flame Burst Tree to die a few more times.

The same goes for the Fireball Trees in this world; once you kill them, they'll reappear in time.

The reason for this is that the area has a very high concentration of fire element, and the earth veins are abnormal. Over time, these elemental creatures will form from the earth veins.

Not only the Pyroblast Tree, but also the Cryo Tree in Liyue is the same.

It's said that specific adventure groups will camp out there, because the materials for fighting bosses are expensive; in an online game, that would be like a guild monopolizing the area.

Su Zhe's only worry was that the Fireball Tree hadn't grown back after being destroyed, but when he arrived there and sensed the rich fire element, he was immediately relieved.

"Luckily you didn't die, otherwise I would have had to use time to induce labor for you."

Su Zhe walked over with a friendly expression.

The Flame Tree has discovered the intruder.

The Flame Tree has awakened.

The Flame Tree A has arrived.

Fireball Tree: GG.

Out of a sense of divine compassion, Su Zhe only cut off its stamens and did not kill it directly.

After taking the items out, they unexpectedly encountered Ying.

What are you doing here?

Su Zhe asked curiously, "Looking for the Eightfold Divine Child?"

Ying shook her head: "No, I actually came here with you."

"?"

"I want to ask you for a favor."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe subconsciously took a step back, thinking he was about to be subjected to increased pressure again.

But then I thought that didn't make sense. Why would someone as powerful as Thor need to put on pressure?

"Actually... I sensed something strange about this seed before, and I think it's time to take it where it's supposed to go."

“Then you can take them with you.” Su Zhe stroked his chin. “Oh, you’re thinking about the festival tonight? It’s okay, I’ll tell them. We have time tomorrow anyway.”

film:"..."

Does she seem like the kind of person who would hesitate over something as important as a little food?

"Uh, no?"

“I… am a little uneasy. Am I really qualified to save Inazuma now? So I think it’s better that you brought the seeds. With you here, things should be a little better.”

Having spent so much time in Liyue, Kage has made considerable progress.

But the more I learn, the more I realize how negligent I have been over the years.

All the setbacks she's faced have made her a little insecure.

Originally, Ying planned to have some fun in Liyue one last time before going back to work hard.

As a result, the seed suddenly reacted.

She had originally thought that she could wait until after the Lantern Festival to go back and plant trees, after all, right, it's a rare opportunity.

But then I thought again, no, how could such an important matter be hindered by mere food?

So she came to find Su Zhe.

Well, I followed him all morning and waited outside Su Zhe's house for about two hours. Then I followed him out again, thinking that if I didn't say anything soon, I would miss the dinner party that night, so I waited for Su Zhe here.

"...So, you've been with me since this morning?"

Su Zhe twitched his lips.

"From when?"

"After you and the traveler set off."

"..."

Su Zhe remained silent for a moment.

He asked, "Um... when I got home this morning..."

"Don't worry," Ying said seriously. "I didn't watch anything after you and Ba Che went into the room."
