Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"You little rascal, you've not only gained weight in just a few days, but you've also become bolder."

"Looks like lunch is sorted out for today."

"Lulu~"

Faced with Su Bai's threat, Guoba didn't seem nervous at all. Instead, he playfully wiggled his butt at Su Bai, and then immediately ran behind Xiangling for protection. (Even the fan-made Guoba videos are more suggestive than the fan-made Xiangling videos.)

"Su Bai, Su Bai, hurry up and clean up the rice crust, it's spoiled."

Paimon, who had been arguing with Guoba over fruit the whole way, immediately started stirring things up. Guoba, meanwhile, hid behind Xiangling and made a face at Su Bai. His smug look made Su Bai's fists harden.

Xiangling, who hadn't seen Su Bai yet, thought Guoba was in some danger. She immediately grabbed the box containing the Extinction Star that was on her back, but after looking around, she didn't find any enemies.

"Xiangling, we haven't seen each other for so many days, and you come up here with a gun ready to shoot me?"

"Su Bai, you're actually here! That's great! I was just about to ask Ying to pass on a message to you, but it seems I don't need to bother Ying now."

"A message? Does it mean some girl misses me?"

Xiangling's gaze was somewhat complicated, and her eyes held a hint of pity as she looked at Su Bai. This look puzzled Su Bai. Had he been discovered to have put Jueyun pepper powder in Zhongli's tea? Or had Ningguang found out about him scattering fragments of the Wangsheng Hall leaflets on the ground at Qunyu Pavilion that day to impersonate 'Suixue'? But these two things shouldn't have been exposed; he had clearly done a very discreet job.

“A few days ago, when Sister Shenhe went to Wanmintang for dinner, I was packing my luggage for my trip to Mondstadt, and she asked me to pass on a message to you.”

"Next time we meet, I must have a good spar with Su Bai."

Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Rare Moment of Relaxation

申鹤

Upon hearing those two words, Su Bai's body trembled involuntarily, and a look of fear appeared on his face. Oh no, he didn't know if Bai Shu's specially made liniment for bruises and sprains would be enough.

Su Bai and Shen He first met when Su Bai was six years old. That day, Liu Yun borrowed the wind from Zhenjun and brought Shen He to Su Bai when he returned. He also told Su Bai about Shen He's background.

When Su Bai, who was spoiled by the immortals, saw how pitiful Shen He was, he grabbed Shen He's hand and asked him to be his wife, saying that he would protect Shen He from now on. However, before he could finish speaking, Su Bai was beaten up by Shen He. After beating Su Bai up, Shen He even touched Su Bai's only tail and said that she would protect Su Bai from now on.

Little Su Bai, who had no idea how delicious it was to be a kept man, was so angry that one night he took the pocket money given to him by his grandmother Ping, bought a ticket to Inazuma, and left Liyue.

He had overheard Sister Gan Yu mention that there was a very powerful fox spirit in Daoqi. Young Su Bai was determined to go to Daoqi to become her apprentice.

As a result, after ten years of training, Su Bai returned confidently and found Shen He to have a friendly match. However, he was beaten to a pulp by Shen He. Su Bai tragically discovered that his most proficient illusion technique was of little use to Shen He because of Shen He's indifferent nature.

Su Bai, who was defeated in front of all the immortals once again, let Shen He stroke his tail comfortably. Before, when Shen He was small, he had one tail and two small hands. Now that Shen He has grown up, he has two tails and two hands, one hand and one tail, which is just right.

From then on, Su Bai avoided Shen He whenever possible, and if he couldn't avoid him, he would make an excuse to run away. After being tricked by Su Bai a few times, Shen He also learned to be smart. Every time, he would first ask Su Bai what he was going to do. If Su Bai didn't say, he would invite Su Bai to spar, under the pretext of seeing how much Su Bai had improved recently.

"Su Bai, are you still so afraid of Sister Shen He? Sister Shen He looks like a very gentle person."

Weak? Su Bai was taken aback by Xiang Ling's words. It seemed he would have to take Xiang Ling to see Bai Shu for an eye exam next time. A strong woman who could pin him to the ground and rub him so hard couldn't possibly be considered weak. He really didn't know how Xiang Ling could tell that Shen He was 'weak'.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Xiangling. When you return to Liyue Harbor, if Sister Shenhe asks about me, just say you didn't see me."

"Alright..."

Xiangling couldn't understand the relationship between Su Bai and Shen He either. However, being a warm-hearted person, Xiangling quickly put the matter out of her mind because she had important things to do.

She dragged a middle-aged man to Mr. Olaf, and after a chat, to Diona's bewildered surprise, this middle-aged man named Olaf suddenly became her ancestor, even though he looked about the same age as her father.

“Diona, call him ancestor! The name Olaf has indeed appeared in our family tree.”

"Ancestors?"

Diona looked at Olaf's cat ears and then at his tail. All these features proved that the man named Olaf was indeed a member of the Katzrein clan.

"Try to look on the bright side, little Diona, this might actually be a good thing."

"You can't control Mr. Dulaf's drinking, but can't you, his ancestor, control it?"

Upon hearing Su Bai's words, Diona's eyes lit up. That's right! If she couldn't manage her father, she could let this ancestor manage him. Her father couldn't possibly disobey this ancestor, could he?

"Grandpa, this is the cider I just bought. Shall we have a drink?"

"Good lad, not bad, this smells pretty good, let's go, have a couple of bites."

"Diona, eat more later, I want to talk to your ancestors."

Dulav pulled Olaf, who was many generations older than him, towards home. The two men's love of wine dispelled Su Bai's last shred of doubt about Olaf.

As you can see, when it comes to drinking, Dulav only thinks of Diona, and Olaf doesn't care about anything else. This obsession with alcohol is clearly related to blood.

This scene infuriated Diona. She grabbed her cocktail shaker, ready to add something special to her father and grandfather's drinks. Since they were going to drink, she'd make her latest invention, 'Crimson Frog'. (I'm really curious if drinking Diona's cocktails won't cause food poisoning... Even though they might taste good, the ingredients shouldn't have changed, right?)

"Doesn't that little kitten eat Xiangling's cooking either? I'll finish the kitten's portion then, hehe."

Paimon chuckled to herself, happy to have an extra serving of delicious food. Ying rolled her eyes at Paimon, as if Paimon's words made it sound like she wasn't feeding her enough.

"We can put aside the question of how much or how little you eat for now. The aunt who challenged you to a cooking contest has already started a fire and is cooking."

Su Bai pointed to Aunt Brock, who had already started working. The fragrance of sweetflowers wafted onto Su Bai's nose on the wind. It seemed that Duraf was right; Aunt Brock did have a knack for it.

"Hey? Ying, come help us quickly, we need to hurry too."

Xiangling hurriedly found a stove and started cooking. Ying, as Xiangling's helper, also got busy, chopping vegetables, getting seasonings, and handing over tools. The two of them were so busy that they completely left Su Bai, Paimon, and Guoba aside.

"We seem to be being ignored. Maybe I should eat some cherry blossom cookies to tide me over?"

Su Bai took out a few pink cookies from the space of the Eye of God and threw them into his mouth. Paimon, who had never seen such cookies before, immediately flew to Su Bai's side. His short, kicking legs revealed Paimon's anticipation for the cherry blossom cookies.

Smelling the unique cherry blossom aroma of the cherry blossom cookies but unable to eat them herself, Paimon stared at Su Bai with pitiful eyes, shaking Su Bai with her little hands while constantly whining.

"Su Bai, Su Bai, do you still have any food? Please share some with me, please share some with me."

"Lulu~"

"Guoba, let go, let go! I didn't bring a second pair of pants with me this time. Let go, let go, and I'll give you all the cookies I have."

Upon hearing this, Guoba finally removed his little paws from Su Bai's pants. After successfully obtaining the cherry blossom cookie from Su Bai's hand, a glint of triumph shone in Guoba's little eyes.

"Lulu~"

After getting all the cherry blossom cookies from Su Bai's arms, Guoba didn't rush to put them in his mouth. Instead, he waved the cherry blossom cookies in his hand at Paimon, as if he wanted to share them with Paimon.

Paimon was initially a little upset about not getting to eat the cherry blossom cookies, but when she saw Guoba wanting to share them with her, Paimon immediately moved closer to Guoba.

"Guoba, I never expected you would share with me."

Paimon opened its little mouth, wanting to bite the cherry blossom cookie in Guoba's hand. Guoba twisted its mouth and took a big bite of the raspberry in Paimon's hand with a speed completely disproportionate to its size, while also putting the cherry blossom cookie in its other hand.

When Paimon realized she'd been tricked by Guoba after biting into the empty raspberry, she threw away the raspberry she was holding, which had almost no fruit left, and started chasing Guoba around.

"Guoba, you're mean! Share some of your cookies with me."

"Lulu~"

It's clear that Guoba is very happy to be chased around by Paimon.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Rare Moment of Relaxation (2)

Beside the stove, Guoba looked at the cherry blossom cookies in Xiangling's hand with tears in its eyes. It had forgotten that Su Bai had given Xiangling some before, and Xiangling liked to eat them. Before it knew it, Xiangling had snatched all the cherry blossom cookies away.

"Hmm~ The taste is really good. If I can go to Inazuma, I must visit the young lady of the Kamisato clan and ask her how she makes such delicious cookies. I always feel that my cookies are missing something."

"Ying, you should try some too."

Xiangling picked up a biscuit and stuffed it into Ying's mouth, who was washing vegetables nearby. The faint cherry blossom flavor mixed with a hint of sweetness exploded in Ying's mouth. Ying, who hadn't eaten anything so delicious in a long time, narrowed her eyes slightly. Perhaps she knew what Xiangling was missing.

"Xiangling, you've never been in a relationship before, have you?"

"Dating? Eh?? I...I've never met someone I like."

Ying's words made Xiangling, who was chopping vegetables, tremble and almost cut her finger. The naive Xiangling was still clueless about love and romance, and Ying's words made her blush.

"What does cooking have to do with dating? Ying, don't try to fool me."

"Tsk, Xiangling is shy. These cherry blossom cookies contain the unrequited feelings of a certain girl. If you, Xiangling, also had someone you liked, you could definitely make these cookies too."

Ying snatched two more cookies from Xiangling's arms and stuffed them into her mouth. The girl's innocent love in the cookies reminded Ying of her own youth. Back then, she hadn't had a sweet romance and spent all her time finding partners for her brother. Now, she regretted it whenever she thought about it. Waaah!

I wonder how her brother is doing lately. Is he waiting for her to rescue him somewhere in Teyvat? I wonder if her brother is bored.

Xiangling, whose face was burning from Ying's teasing, picked up a glass of cold water and splashed it on her face to try to calm herself down. As a result, Guoba, who was protesting Xiangling's robbery of the cookies, was caught off guard and had his head drenched by the cold water Xiangling splashed on his face.

"Lululu!"

The rice crust, soaking wet, felt like the pot was covered in gray smoke. It didn't get to eat any cookies and even got its head doused with water by Xiangling. What a bad day it had been!

Guoba slumped to the ground, exhausted. Destruction was inevitable. Even if a cherry blossom cookie appeared in front of it now, it would never be able to stand up again.

Wait, a cherry blossom cookie? Why is there a cherry blossom cookie floating in front of it? Is this a gift from heaven? Guoba jumped up from the ground and stretched out its little arms to grab the cherry blossom cookie floating in mid-air.

But as soon as Guoba reached out, the cherry blossom cookie would fly up, and when Guoba put his hand down, the cherry blossom cookie would fall back down.

The simple-minded Guoba didn't want to give up the ice flower cookie that was already in its mouth. It found some stones to stand on, stretched out its legs, and staggered to hook the cherry blossom cookie in mid-air.

Paimon, the culprit behind all this, was amused by Guoba's silly and cute appearance and kept chuckling. First, Ying used a fishing rod to fish for Paimon, and now Paimon is using a fishing rod to fish for Guoba, which has fulfilled Paimon's fishing dream.

While Paimon was still happily chuckling, he suddenly felt a weight on the tip of the fishing rod. Before he could let go, Paimon was pulled down from the sky by Guoba and slammed heavily onto Guoba's back.

"Lulu~"

Guoba, having just eaten the cherry blossom cookie, happily hummed an unknown tune, which angered Paimon behind him. That cherry blossom cookie was the last one Su Bai had, and there wouldn't be any left after it was eaten.

"Su Bai..."

Paimon flew to Su Bai's side, hugged Su Bai's arm, and started acting cute again. Su Bai shrugged and said that apart from the few pieces he left for Diona, there really wasn't anything left.

"What are you guys doing there? Su Bai, if you know Mr. Dulav, hurry up and call him out. I've already prepared the dishes, why isn't this judge here yet?"

Xiangling placed a plate on the table, and the aroma of sweet flowers and poultry instantly attracted Paimon. Not to be outdone, Aunt Brock also brought her own sweet flower stuffed chicken to the table.

In no time, the aroma of sweet flower-stuffed chicken filled the entire Qingquan Town, and many hunters picked up their bows and arrows to hunt a few pigeons to satisfy their cravings.

Along with the aroma, Diona's front door was kicked open forcefully, and Diona walked out of the house with a dark expression.

"What's wrong with Diona? She looks unhappy. Where's your dad? Let him come out and taste whose cooking is better, mine or Liyue's chef's."

Aunt Brock was very confident in her cooking skills. Diona's face darkened even more when Aunt Brock asked her that question. After a moment of silence, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

"My father and my ancestor are drunk and are swearing brotherhood in the house. You'd better not disturb them."

"Sworn brotherhood? Well, we really can't disturb that. Wait, what? Sworn brotherhood? Are people in your family so open about seniority...?"

Su Bai was shocked by Diona's words. In Liyue, seniority was very important. He had personally witnessed a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties greeting an eight or nine-year-old child. (I once greeted a six-year-old uncle with New Year's greetings... and then he generously gave me all his lucky money, hehe.)

"Let's not talk about them anymore. Big fox, didn't you say you were an immortal? Then you can be the referee. I'll go prepare some hangover soup for them."
