Lisa smiled and smiled. Qin's dandelion scent was still so pleasant. Maybe she could help Qin with some documents in the future in exchange for some small perks. If that was really possible, she wouldn't mind sacrificing some of Qin's lunch break.

"Oh dear, isn't this Miss Witch Lisa? It's only been a few days, and you've already found a new love? Don't you want your old flame anymore?"

People often say that opposites attract, but Yae no Miko is very interested in Lisa, a witch with a personality just as wicked as hers. Perhaps it's just her competitive nature, but Yae no Miko always wants to see Lisa make a fool of herself.

Lisa's expression was somewhat unnatural. A few days ago, when she met Noel, she couldn't resist her mischievous side and teased her a few times. As a result, Yae no Miko came to her rescue, turning the innocent Noel into her little fangirl.

Because they were on the street and Lisa couldn't make a move, she could only swallow her anger and watch as Noel and Yae no Miko walked away from her sight, chatting and laughing. This infuriated Lisa. She was the one who arrived first, so how could that pink-haired fox get away with it? The more she thought about it, the angrier Lisa became, and she decided to vent her anger.

On that very day, the Knights of Favonius recalled the fear of being dominated by Lisa. After Lisa, the librarian, left Mondstadt, the patrolling Knights of Favonius vaguely heard strange noises coming from the monster camp, which sounded like the roars of monsters.

Hearing the commotion, the Knights of Favonius thought the monsters had made some new move. When they went to investigate, they witnessed an incredibly horrifying scene.

In the sky, the lightning element dyed this small patch of sky purple, and bolts of lightning descended from the sky. The monsters struck by the lightning either trembled all over or turned into charred pieces. Bathed in lightning, Lisa walked the world like a thunder god descending to earth. The Knights of Favonius, who had never seen such a scene before, were so frightened that their legs trembled and they could hardly walk.

Qin blushed immediately after Yae no Miko said that. She gently pulled away from Lisa's embrace. What new love and old love? How embarrassing!

The remaining people exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. These were people they couldn't afford to offend, so they decided to pretend they hadn't heard anything.

Paimon, waiting for Razor to make the paw-shaped potato pancakes, scratched her head in confusion. What new love, what old flame? What were they talking about? Oh well, never mind, she'd better just focus on waiting for the potato pancakes; they smelled so good! (The paw-shaped potato pancakes are shaped like wolf paws, quite cute.)

"Look at how hungry Paimon looks. Since we have all the ingredients, I'll make you a magical meat sauce pasta."

Lisa wasn't annoyed when Qin broke free from her embrace. Looking at the large pile of ingredients in the corner, she tried to change the subject. As Lisa expected, everyone was drawn to the idea of ​​Lisa cooking. Even Qin looked curiously at the stove. She had never seen Lisa cook before, even though she had known Lisa for so long.

"Hehe, you're old enough to be someone's aunt, so stop pretending to be young."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth and chuckled. Kaeya thought to himself, "This is bad." This was Lisa's taboo word. Last time, Klee called Lisa "Auntie," and he, the passing cavalry captain, was given a good beating by Lisa. Just thinking about that tingling feeling made Kaeya shudder.

Although Lisa was very angry inside, she still had a smiling face on the surface. She picked up a few ingredients and gave Yae no Miko a provocative look while holding the slime. Yae no Miko was not annoyed. She did not intend to do it herself, so she pushed Su Bai, who was watching the show from the side, in front of the stove.

"Go on, Xiaobai. Didn't you learn cooking from that retainer of the Kamisama family? And isn't there a very famous chef in Liyue who's your friend? It's perfect, Xiaobai, you can show off your skills today."

"I'm really looking forward to the food you'll make, Xiaobai!"

Su Bai stared dumbfounded at the pots and pans in front of him. Good heavens, didn't Sister Shenzi know that having learned something before is one thing, and having learned it is another?

Asking him to make a Teyvat omelet or Fisherman's toast might be okay, but making a proper meal would be a real challenge for him. His specialty is called Enchanted Mushroom, which isn't suitable for this kind of occasion either. People without fairy or demonic powers will experience hallucinations if they eat it.

Years ago, on a whim, he used his immortal power to nourish a few mushrooms. When the mushrooms grew up, he wanted to make a cold salad to taste them. However, before he could even taste them, they were eaten by Ichidou. A few minutes after eating them, Ichidou cried and shouted that he wanted to find General Raiden to fight him in sumo wrestling. If Su Bai and Ayato hadn't desperately stopped Ichidou, he probably would have been killed.

"Um, Sister Shenzi, I really..."

"Alright, alright, just make the dish that leaves the deepest impression on you, no need to overthink it."

Yae no Shinji had any intention of giving Su Bai a chance to explain. Su Bai rubbed his head, his deepest impression still being what Su Bai could do. He seemed to have some ideas.

Su Bai picked up a few Jueyun peppers and made a spicy hot pot base. At first, everyone thought Su Bai was going to make some spicy soup. The amount of Jueyun peppers made people like Kaiya, who don't like spicy food, hesitate. But Ying is who she is. She has traveled through many worlds and has naturally seen hot pot before.

However, in her memory, hot pot didn't seem to require cake. Was this a unique feature of Teyvat? Eating a piece of cake before hot pot? Or was it because the hot pot was too spicy, and people who were overwhelmed by the spiciness needed cake to soothe their stomachs?

While everyone was still puzzled, Su Bai threw the cake directly into the boiling, spicy broth. That's right, he threw a cake covered in cream into the pot!

This completely stunned Ying. What the hell was this? She had eaten other kinds of hot pot in other worlds, but none of them put cake in the pot.

"What kind of looks are those?? This is the dish from the Kamisato family that left the deepest impression on me. I heard that Thomas lingered on it for three whole days after eating it."

Chapter 80 The Banquet (3)

"Alright, alright, Su Bai, you'd better stop wasting food."

Yura stopped Su Bai from adding more side dishes to the pot. She realized that Su Bai had no cooking skills at all, which explained why she had been eating all her meals at the deer hunter's place.

"I thought Xiaobai would cook some Liyue dishes. It seems that Xiaobai is living a life of luxury in Liyue, with everything done for her."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth and chuckled softly. This outcome was within her expectations. Although Su Bai's cooking skills were much better than her old friend's, they were still only at the level of being edible.

"Alright, alright, Xiaobai, don't look so dejected. I just didn't know."

"Hehe, you're already at the age of an ancestor, and you still call yourself an older sister? It seems that Yae no Kyouji is not entirely honest."

“Miss Lisa, you can’t say that. Xiaobai is a fairy of Liyue, and his lifespan is very long. It’s only natural for me to be his older sister.”

Lisa tried to retort to Yae no Miko, but Yae no Miko brought up Su Bai's identity, leaving Lisa speechless. Having been retorted to so many times by Yae no Miko, Lisa, as a witch, was naturally very dissatisfied. She was determined to find an opportunity to have a proper 'exchange' with this Yae no Miko, and let him know that witches are not so easy to bully.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Now that everyone's here, let's get started."

As soon as Qin finished speaking, Paimon, who had been circling around the stove, immediately flew to a plate of sweet flower-stuffed chicken and pulled off a chicken leg. She had already set her sights on such a plump chicken leg.

"Mmm~ It's so delicious. I didn't expect Amber to be such a good cook. Ying should learn more about cooking."

"Last time you said you were going to make some otherworldly food, you wrapped chicken in mud and leaves and put it in the fire to roast, but the chicken inside all turned into charcoal. What a waste."

"And the time before that, you took the flour and said you were going to make some steamed buns, but the steamed buns you made were harder than silver ore! I tapped the silver ore with the steamed bun, and the steamed bun was fine, but the silver ore had a dent."

(The mooncakes my family received from their workplace last Mid-Autumn Festival were as hard as rocks. My mom even said she wanted to learn how to chop them up and stir-fry them with tomatoes, but she ended up chipping the knife before she could finally cut the mooncake in half.)

Paimon stuffed her mouth with delicious food while relentlessly criticizing Ying's terrible cooking skills. She would never forget the scene when Ying burned a hole in the pot the first time she cooked. Luckily, it was outdoors; if it had been indoors, it probably would have caused a fire.

"Pfft, cough cough cough."

Yura had just poured herself a glass of wine, and before she could even swallow it, Paimon's words made her spit it out. She simply couldn't imagine how something harder than silver ore could be made. Could it have been hammered during the manufacturing process?

Hiss~ Could it be that Ying has mastered some iron-smelting technique? To be able to turn flour into such a hard weapon is truly terrifying.

"I didn't control the heat well when I made beggar's chicken, and the steamed buns turned out the way they did because I didn't add enough water and some other strange reasons."

"Paimon, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll stew you! Luckily, there's a pot here!"

Enraged, Ying ignored the strange looks from those around her. She grabbed a piece of cake and shoved it into Paimon's mouth. The discomfort of having a foreign object forced into his mouth made Paimon struggle wildly, groaning.

"You two, stop fooling around, Knight of Honor. Do you have any free time these next few days? I have a long-term commission that I'd like you to handle."

Jean pulled Ying and Paimon apart. Su Bai poured a glass of juice and handed it to Paimon, who was choking on the cake and rolling his eyes. After finally swallowing the cake in his mouth, Paimon looked at Jean with shining eyes.

"What kind of request is it, Qin? Ying is very strong. No matter what the request is, as long as the reward is sufficient, we will definitely handle it without any problem."

"Ahem, this commission might be a bit dangerous. You must be careful about your own safety when carrying it out."

"I hope you can go to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain to investigate the purpose of the Fools gathering there."

Qin sighed. Just as the problem of Tvalin was resolved, another piece of information, that the Fools had built numerous camps within the Dragonspine Mountains, was delivered to her desk.

The storm on Dragonspine Mountain has not yet subsided, and ordinary Favonius Knights are unable to venture deep into the mountain. However, if the owner of the Eye of God is to investigate this matter, there is no suitable person within the Knights of Favonius to go, since exploring the snow mountain is best done by the owner of the Fire-attribute Eye of God.

She had considered entrusting the matter to Bennett, but Razer refused, citing Bennett's serious injuries. Left with no other option, Jean had to entrust the task to Luminous.

"Snow, snow mountain? Uh, we won't take this commission, we won't take it, hehe, hehehe."

When Paimon heard that they were going to Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, she shook her head like a rattle-drum, refusing to go no matter what. She remembered very clearly the scene of her and Ying being chased all over the snow mountain by a group of ruin guards.

"This is a long-term commission, so there's no need for you to rush into it. You can explore the snow mountain once you've become stronger."

"If Su Bai wants to go, this commission can also be given to you."

"Commander Qin, you should find someone else. I don't want to go to that godforsaken place. Not to mention the ruins and guards everywhere, it's a struggle to even start a fire there. I'm not going."

Su Bai strongly condemned the Qin Guild Leader's practice of conscripting laborers, saying that apart from the Fools, only those reckless adventurers would venture into the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.

Speaking of adventurers, he found it strange that these adventurers would rather abandon their families and disregard their own safety in order to pursue the legendary, elusive treasures. He used to think that only adventurers in Liyue were like this, but after spending his time in Mondstadt, he discovered that there were quite a few such adventurers in Mondstadt as well.

He had witnessed a woman holding a child near the Deer Hunter pleading with her husband not to take the risk, saying that finding a job in Mondstadt would be enough to support the family. But her husband not only refused to listen, but also said that the woman was delaying his journey.

Su Bai once asked Zhong Li about this question, and Zhong Li simply said that everyone has their own dreams, and for those who pursue their dreams, life can be abandoned.

Su Bai didn't quite agree with Zhong Li's words. Ordinary people live only a hundred years. If someone sacrifices their life to protect Li Yue, Su Bai respects them from the bottom of his heart. But to abandon one's life for some so-called honor and wealth is irresponsible to one's family.

If anything were to happen to them during their adventure, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to their parents, spouses, and children; a family could even be torn apart. (The little boy and the father in the snowy mountains)

Su Bai and Zhong Li debated this issue for a long time. Hu Tao overheard their conversation and took a flyer to the Adventurers' Guild to promote their package. Two hours later, Ke Qing personally escorted Hu Tao back to the Hall of Rebirth.

As for why there are so few adventurers like this in Inazuma, we have to give credit to General Raiden. During the time General Raiden was in charge of Inazuma, any rumors about treasure would be proven false by General Raiden. After all, General Raiden is really in charge, although he's now meddling a bit too much, even overseeing the God's Eye of his own people.

(When I was doing the Layered Rock quest, that NPC named Zhiqiong almost made me furious. She insisted on going even though I told her it was dangerous. If I could tie someone up, I would have tied her up and thrown her onto the surface of Layered Rock.)

(One more thing, the big event, the Rongcai Festival, starts today, April 7th, at 10 AM. At least I can get more Primogems.)

Chapter 81 Lady

Despite some hiccups, the banquet went relatively smoothly. Razer's potato pancakes were highly praised by everyone. In addition to the claw-shaped potato pancakes, Razer also specially made a chubby potato pancake and gave it to Klee.

For some reason, Lisa's magical meat sauce noodles smelled delicious, but tasted sour and astringent, like they had unripe raspberry juice added. Even Paimon couldn't eat a second bite. Faced with a big bowl of weird-tasting noodles that no one wanted, Razer gritted his teeth and ate all the noodles.

Meanwhile, Wendy quietly slipped up to the second floor. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she drank all the good wine that Diluc had given to everyone. This infuriated Yura, who didn't know Wendy's identity. She had finally wanted to indulge in some wine today, but before she knew it, it was all gone?!

When Venti saw that the bottle was empty, he left with a "Hey!" and jumped down to the first floor. Yura, who was furious, picked up the Sacred Greatsword and was about to fight Venti one-on-one. If Jean hadn't held Yura back tightly, Venti might have been chased all over Mondstadt by Yura today.

In the end, it was only after Diluc brought over a few more bottles of fine wine and sent them up that Yura calmed down. At the same time, Diluc also silently calculated how much Mora was needed for the bottles of fine wine that Venti had drunk.

After some calculations, Diluc told Charles to buy some wood the next day to build a platform inside the Angel's Gift. The Angel's Gift might then have a resident bard, so thinking about it that way, it didn't seem like a bad deal for him.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and said goodbye, Lisa 'sincerely' invited Yae Miko to visit her library, saying that she had a wallet that could glow in the night to give to Yae Miko. Yae Miko naturally went happily, while also being a little curious about how Lisa would deal with her.

Alice, that witch, was able to get her drunk before because she hadn't developed a high alcohol tolerance. Now, a mere junior wants to trick her, the Eightfold Divine Child. She really doesn't know her place.

(The Teyvat Travel Guide: Inazuma Edition is now available for purchase on the outlying islands during the new event. Aunt Iris never disappoints. She not only got Yae no Miko drunk, but she was also caught setting off fireworks with Yoomiya and even injured one of Kujo Sara's wings. She even secretly modified the large furnace that is Roshin Mikage.)

Su Bai didn't witness what happened next, but according to the descriptions of the Favonius Knights on guard, the library was filled with lightning that night. The lightning even penetrated the insulated wooden doors, stunning the Favonius Knights on guard outside the library.

Later, according to a one-eyed cavalry captain who wished to remain anonymous, Lisa, who was a librarian, had to lean against the wall to get home that night. When they met the next day, Lisa's legs were still trembling slightly. Of course, these are all stories for later. What Su Bai needs to think about now is how to face the Foolish Enforcer in front of him—the lady—who slapped Barbatos.

As the old saying goes in Liyue, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Today, having nothing better to do, Su Bai decided to visit the Favonius Cathedral to check on Bennett's injuries.

He had just arrived at the entrance of the Cathedral of the West when he saw the lady hitting Barbatos, even slapping him. The insult was off the charts, which stunned Su Bai. Good heavens, must he be seeing things? He must have drunk too much last night and not slept well, and he must have seen things wrong.

Su Bai rubbed his eyes. Huh? Barbatos had his heart ripped out by the lady? When did the Fatui's enforcers get this kind of ability? How much of a rip-off did Wendy go through? And is that Paimon frozen in the ice next to his feet? This terrified look, no wonder he's called Paimon the coward.

"Su Bai, you've come at just the right time! The lady has taken Wendy's Heart of God. You must stop her!"

Ying was held in place by the two debt collectors and could not move. Su Bai glanced at the two debt collectors and shot a wind blade made of wind element in his hand towards them.

谷纭

The two debt collectors didn't dare to risk their lives, so they abandoned Ying and disappeared. Ying took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, picked up the bladeless sword that had fallen to the ground, and glared at the lady.

The woman glanced at Ying and smiled disdainfully. She picked up Wendy's Heart of God and examined it closely in the sunlight, a hint of disappointment and disgust on her face.

"I thought the Heart of God would be exquisite, but it seems it's not even as good as the chess pieces I collect. It's really disappointing."

"Ha, that's just because you have terrible taste."

A hint of mockery flashed across Wendy's face. His words had worked on the lady, who raised her leg and kicked Wendy, sending him rolling on the ground several times.

While rolling around, he didn't forget to wink at Su Bai. Su Bai subtly nodded to indicate that he understood. It seems that Barbatos is planning to put on an act. I wonder what his plan is.
