Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Mmmmmm! (Me too!)"

Keqing waved her phone and made a few "uh-huh" sounds. She was still quite excited, her mouth full of the matsutake mushroom. If mobile phones could be widely used, the Thousand Rock Army could call for support immediately if they encountered monsters in the wild, which would definitely reduce casualties by a lot.

"It will probably take some time before it can be widely adopted. After all, this is just a sample, and the phone is still in the experimental stage. Only people with the divine eye can use it, which is quite a limitation."

Su Bai shrugged, shattering Ke Qing's illusions. Seeing Ke Qing's mood plummet, Su Bai knew that he had not misjudged Ke Qing's thoughts.

"Now that I have achieved my purpose in coming here, let's leave first. Brother Su Bai, I hope that if mobile phones become widespread, you can supply them to Liyue first."

"Of course. As a celestial being of Liyue, I cannot stand by and watch Liyue lag behind other countries in this regard."

After achieving her two goals, Ningguang gave Su Bai a bright smile and walked out of the Hall of Rebirth. It wasn't that she didn't want to stay there a little longer, but her stomach had been uncomfortable ever since she ate that matsutake mushroom.

"Pass the word down and tell the chef to quickly prepare a good meal and send it to the Hall of Rebirth. Also, cook some more stomach-soothing porridge, and while you're at it, go to Bubulu and get some medicine to treat food poisoning and send it to the Hall of Rebirth."

After giving her instructions, Ningguang quickly left. At this time, Keqing was unaware of the seriousness of the situation. After swallowing the matsutake mushroom, Keqing also revealed a victorious smile.

"Ha, finally swallowed that matsutake mushroom! Goodbye everyone~"

Keqing waved to everyone and then followed Ningguang away. During this time, Zhongli wanted to speak several times, but he held back.

"Zhongli, what are you trying to say? I've noticed you've been hesitating the whole time."

As Zhongli's old friend, Ruo Tuo immediately noticed Zhongli's hesitant expression. When Ruo Tuo asked, Zhongli no longer hesitated.

"If I remember correctly, matsutake mushrooms that are hard to chew are a sign that they are not cooked properly. I wonder if this Jade Balance Star knows about this."

"Ah... What are we waiting for? Let's find Keqing quickly, or she might get food poisoning. That would be a real mess. If they pin something on us for poisoning Yuheng Star, we'd all have to learn some laws from Yanfei."

Su Bai's words made Abed jump up from his seat. He would rather spend some time in jail than listen to Yan Fei, that pink-haired girl, nagging anymore. That pink-haired girl was just too talkative. So, amidst a chaotic scene, Abed's welcome party to the Hall of Rebirth was completely ruined.

A few days later, in the bustling Wangshu Inn, Su Bai and Shen He were sitting in chairs drinking tea, while in front of them, Abedo was stroking his chin, examining the signal relay device and the extra parts on the ground.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Abedo, you're not doing well either. It's been almost two hours and you still haven't found anything wrong."

"You said there must be something wrong with the assembly I did, but you haven't seen what the problem is, have you?"

After checking everything, and hearing Su Bai's smug voice in his ear, Abedo, who had been silent, had a furrowed brow. He thought to himself, "What the hell did Su Bai assemble? The device is completely working perfectly. Could he have made a mistake? That's impossible. He had carefully calculated every part. Even if there were extras, there couldn't be this many."

"Sister Shenhe, eat more Fairy Jumps Over the Wall. This dish is extremely troublesome to make. If Yanxiao hadn't wanted to use this dish to participate in the chef competition, it would have really taken us a lot of effort to get to eat it."

Ignoring Abedo, who was lost in thought, Su Bai served Shen He a bowl of "Immortal Jumps Over the Wall" and then happily savored Yan Xiao's cooking. It has to be said that Yan Xiao's cooking skills were absolutely superb, and they were worthy of Yan Xiao's fiery temper.

Inside the Hall of Rebirth, Ruoduo was idly lying on the table, while Abe Shao was making an upgraded version of the Five-Colored Deception Flower at the alchemy table not far away.

"Ugh, I'm so bored! Abe, do you have any interesting gadgets? Can I play with a few?"

“Little sister Zhong Tuo, you’ve put me in a difficult position. You’ve heard what Mr. Zhongli said to me before he left.”

Abe gave a wry smile. Mr. Zhongli had said that if Zhong Tuo asked him for any alchemical tools again, he must not give them to her. Otherwise, when Hu Tao returned, the Hall of Rebirth might be reduced to ruins.

"Did you see what they said in the group chat? Luminous, Paimon, Kurumi, and Klee are almost at Liyue Harbor. Poor Abedo was left alone at Wangshu Inn to repair the device."

Mona fiddled with the water mirror in front of her with one hand and stared at her phone with the other. Actually, if you think about it, Hu Tao should really be back by now. After all, tomorrow is the Moon Festival, and Hu Tao has been invited by Ningguang to be one of the judges for the Moon Festival cooking competition. She should be back by now.

Mona had barely finished speaking when she heard footsteps inside and outside the Hall of Rebirth, along with the sounds of Kurumi and Klee playing. Upon realizing that Kurumi had returned, Rota lost interest in the interesting alchemical products and jumped off his chair, heading straight for the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.

"Kurumi, Klee, you're finally back!"

Chapter 228 The Festival of Chasing the Moon (1)

"Well, Mona, although the rules of the cooking competition allow participating chefs to bring assistants, I really don't think you need to go and help Xiangling. Ying has already gone to help."

Su Bai patiently persuaded Mona, who wanted to help. After the food poisoning incident, everyone learned from Mona that she was so poor that she could only eat vegetable salads. Therefore, she only knew how to make some cold dishes and simple dishes, such as chicken soup, which she simply boiled in a pot with chicken soup water.

Mona considered the undercooked matsutake mushrooms last time an accident, as she had never cooked such a high-end ingredient before, so not controlling the heat was an accident.

Fearing it would damage Mona's confidence, Su Bai and the others secretly discussed that they absolutely could not let Mona cook for them anymore. They would rather drink the hunger-suppressing potion made by Abe than eat the half-cooked food made by Mona.

"Oh? Okay then. I was thinking of helping Xiangling, but I didn't expect Ying to beat me to it."

Mona, who wasn't fully aware of her cooking skills, muttered to herself. She had been thinking of showing Xiangling her culinary skills, which Ningguang had praised, but unfortunately, the registration period for the cooking competition had already ended. Otherwise, she would definitely have gone to the cooking competition to show off her skills.

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Even Shen He, who had an iron stomach and ate herbs and dew all year round, couldn't handle the cold dish made by Mona. So it was even more difficult for ordinary people.

"Speaking of which, where is Hall Master Hu? I saw her rushing out early this morning and she hasn't come back yet. And Young Master Abe, he left early this morning without even having breakfast. I really don't know what they're busy with."

Mona looked at the Mora meat she had bought and felt a headache coming on. If she had known that Abe and Hu Tao would leave without eating breakfast, she wouldn't have bought so much breakfast. Now it looked like they would be eating Mora meat all day.

"It seems that Hu Tao went to find Xiao. I don't know how Hu Tao communicated with Xiao on the phone, but Xiao actually agreed to teach Hu Tao martial arts for a few days. That's really rare."

"As for Young Master Abe, is there any need to guess? He must have gone to Wangshu Inn to find Young Master Abe. These two sworn enemies aren't that far apart now. Do you really expect him to stay peacefully in the Hall of Rebirth?"

Su Bai casually picked up the Mora meat on the table and started eating. He wondered if Abedo and Abedo were just incompatible. He didn't know what Abedo and Abedo had talked about on their phones last night, but it made Abedo next door so angry that he didn't sleep all night, which made Su Bai very sleepy now.

"Looks like everyone got up early today. Zhongli went out early too, I wonder what he's up to."

"Good morning, Brother Su Bai, Sister Mona, Sister Tuotuo!"

Ruo Tuo rubbed his eyes and came out of the room. He had noticed that Zhong Li had left the Hall of Rebirth early in the morning, but he didn't know that she was too sleepy at the time and did not follow her out. Perhaps she was woken up by the alarm clock. Ke Li, the cute little girl, also came out of the room wearing crooked clothes.

"Sister Tuotuo, let's go find Qiqi. We made plans on our phones yesterday to go out and play together today, so we can't be late."

This little one clearly hadn't slept enough; her adorable big eyes were squinted into slits. But in order to go out and play, Klee overcame her sleepiness and got up very early in the morning.

"Little Cleo, are you really not going to sleep a little longer? I feel like you're about to fall asleep at any moment."

While straightening Keli's crooked clothes, Mona advised Keli not to go to the party, saying it was only a little past seven o'clock and she might not have any energy at night if she got up so early.

"No, Klee isn't sleepy. Klee wants to go out and play. Klee~~zzz"

Klee's voice grew softer and weaker, and she was about to fall asleep when her little head swayed down, instantly pulling her back from her slumber.

"Ah, Mona, what did you just say? Granule accidentally fell asleep..."

"This... Little sister Zhong Tuo, are you sure you want to take Klee out to play? It would be bad if something unexpected happened to Klee in her current state."

"Yes, Mona, you're right, that is indeed a problem."

"But I've already figured out how to solve this. Klee has come all the way to Liyue to participate in the Moon Festival, so I'm going to make sure she has a great time today."

As she spoke, Ruo Tuo rushed into Zhong Li's room. A few moments later, Ruo Tuo returned to the living room carrying a bag of tea leaves.

Following Zhongli's example, she boiled a kettle of water and poured in a whole bag of tea leaves. In an instant, a rich aroma of tea filled the entire Rebirth Hall. Not to mention Keli, even Shen He, who was still meditating, was roused by the aroma and opened his eyes.

"As expected of Zhongli's collection, this tea is even more fragrant than the one he brought out last time. But little sister Zhongtuo, you're really wasting this tea... You could have brewed a whole vat of this tea with water, but you only used one pot. I wonder if Zhongli will smack you when he gets back from the snow mountain."

"Do you think I'm afraid of that guy Zhongli? I guess you don't want to drink this tea."

Ruo Tuo glared at Su Bai and reached out to take back the tea that had been poured for Su Bai. Su Bai quickly snatched the cup back and chuckled.

Just kidding, just kidding.

"But don't worry, little sister Zhong Tuo. Now that you've drunk this tea, I'll definitely cover for you. If Zhong Li really wants to spank you, you can just go back to your room and lock the door."

Smelling the aroma of the tea, the remaining people nodded in agreement, because the tea was so fragrant that they would have gotten up long ago if it weren't so hot.

"Wow~ This tea is amazing. I only took one sip and my mind felt very clear. No wonder it's from Zhongli's collection, it's really good."

Su Bai was surprised by the clarity of his mind, while the others were filled with emotion. Shen He exclaimed that this thing was simply a divine artifact that could help with cultivation. Ke Li wondered if she could play all the time without sleeping if she drank a cup of this tea every day. Mona, on the other hand, felt heartbroken. How much Mora would it cost to make a tea with such effects? It was practically like drinking Mora.

While Su Bai and the others were enjoying tea in the Hall of Rebirth, Xiao had already brought Hu Tao to a secluded place outside Liyue Harbor. Because there were many participants in the cooking competition, the judges selected by Ningguang only needed to be responsible for judging the top four and beyond. After all, no one could eat many times more food than Paimon.

"Master, let's begin! I really want to learn your move where you poke around in the monster horde—it's so cool!"

Mentioning Xiao's move, Hu Tao's plum blossom pupils almost morphed into star-shaped pupils, showing how much she was looking forward to Xiao's move. Seeing Hu Tao's excitement, Xiao felt that the task Zhong Li had given him was really difficult to complete. Could such a clever and mischievous little guy really learn his moves?

Chapter 129 It's more painful to see others make money than to lose money yourself

Walking on the streets of Liyue Harbor, Shenhe felt a liveliness that made her very uncomfortable. The people here seemed to be full of hope for life, and everyone had a smile on their face. But if Xixi were to perceive it more closely, she would find that many of the smiles on their faces were fake.

"Boss, why does your smile look so fake?"

"Young lady, what do you know? This is called smiling service. Go away, don't interfere with my business. If you really want to know, buy a few flowers and I'll definitely tell you."

"But I don't have Mora."

"Huh? No Mora? You little brat, don't hang around in front of me if you don't have Mora. What bad luck."

A flower vendor shooed Shen He aside. It was a rare occasion for Liyue to have a festival, and the crowds today were exceptionally large. If he could seize this opportunity, he could definitely make a fortune from those flower-loving women. After chasing Shen He away, the vendor thought of the golden Mora, and his smile grew even wider.

Shen He, who had been chased away, looked at Su Bai with a puzzled expression in his otherwise calm eyes. Su Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, took Shen He's hand, and decisively walked towards the flower vendors who were also selling flowers nearby.

"Boss, your flowers look nice, how much are they?"

"You are, the Fox Spirit! Fox Spirit, you can take it if you like, you don't need to give it to Mora."

The vendor was probably seeing Su Bai for the first time and didn't know what to say for a moment. Su Bai didn't bother to hide his tails, and his four fluffy tails attracted the attention of many people. Many women wanted to touch them and try them out.

"It's not that I'd give it to you, but I'd like to buy a lily as a gift for the beautiful lady next to me. Could you pack one for me?"

"Okay, okay, I'll pack one for you right away."

After a flurry of activity, the vendor wrapped up a glass lily that was a size larger than the ordinary ones and handed it to Su Bai immediately.

After Su Bai gave the flowers to Shen He, Su Bai couldn't help but look at the vendor with new respect. Vendors with such high emotional intelligence are rare. This person is not bad; he should be someone who can make a lot of money in the future.

After paying Mora, Su Bai and Shen He appeared on a high-rise building in the commercial street. Shen He held the glass lily in his hand and looked at Su Bai with some doubt.

Su Bai didn't explain much to Shen He, but pointed to the vendor who had chased Shen He away. Shen He's eyes narrowed. She noticed that the vendor's smile was even more fake, and this time, his eyes were filled with jealousy and regret.

"The reason this person's smile was so fake was because there was another flower vendor next to him. As the saying goes, rivals are enemies. With such a competitor, the vendor was naturally not happy."

"But he was worried that if he had a stern face, customers would go to the flower shop next door to buy flowers, so he could only wear a fake smile."

Su Bai leaned against a pillar, letting the warm breeze caress his face. Along with the breeze came the aromas of various dishes, indicating that the preliminary rounds of the cooking competition were already quite intense.

"Then why did his smile seem more fake? No one bought flowers from him just now."

Shen He was a little confused. When she went to ask the vendor questions earlier, no one bought flowers, and now no one was buying flowers either. The vendor's smile was even more fake.

"That's just human jealousy at work. Since neither of the two flower vendors had any customers, the guy who was mean to you naturally wouldn't be jealous of the other vendor."

"But now, because I, this immortal, bought flowers, a group of people have gone to that vendor to buy flowers. So that vendor who was mean to you has become jealous. After all, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's more painful to see others make money than to lose money yourself."

Shen He nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. Human nature is truly complex. It seems she still has a lot to learn. Once the Lunar Festival is over, she will definitely buy a few more light novels to study carefully.

"Isn't this Xiaobai? Long time no see! What, did Ningguang invite you to dinner too?"

A cheerful voice came from behind Su Bai. Hearing the familiar voice, Su Bai smiled slightly and let the person put their arms around his neck. However, this displeased Shen He, who stepped forward and quickly rescued Su Bai from the clutches of the person.

"Wow, it's only been half a year since we last met and you already have a girlfriend? That's impressive, Xiaobai. Back when we met at Inazuma Port, you were just a little kid with a lollipop in your mouth. Now you're already at the age to date. Time really flies."

Beidou took out some souvenirs she had bought in other countries from a spatial pouch that Su Bai had given her. These were all gifts she had brought back for her friends, and now that she had met Su Bai, she might as well give one to him first.
