"Oh no, Guoba, go get some water!"

"Lulu~"

Guoba, with his short legs, carried a large basin from the side. Xiangling, thinking that saving lives was the priority, didn't look closely and poured all the liquid in the basin into the pot.

Seeing that Paimon seemed to no longer feel the heat, Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected there to be such a large basin of water in the kitchen; it was a lifesaver. But why was the water so red?

Wait a minute, if she remembered correctly, her father seemed to have bought some top-quality honey and excellent quality Sichuan peppercorns this morning. Based on her knowledge of food colors, the red liquid in the pot should be chili oil made from those Sichuan peppercorns.

"Oh no, this is the chili oil Dad just made this morning!"

"Huh??? No wonder I feel so uncomfortable."

"Ouch, it's so spicy! Why is this chili oil so hot?"

Paimon, her face flushed from the spiciness after licking her lips, saw a large vat in the corner of the kitchen. Without thinking twice, she leaped out of the pot and plunged headfirst into the vat.

With a soft "plop," the viscous liquid nearly blinded Paimon, who barely managed to crawl out.

"Xiangling, what's in this jar? I feel slippery all over, like I've been covered in honey."

"That's just to trick the nectar lovers. This nectar just arrived this morning and is still very fresh."

Seeing Paimon fly out of the jar covered in chili oil and honey, Xiangling was momentarily at a loss. But Paimon calmly licked the honey off his hands, after all, it was a good thing and it wouldn't be good to waste it.

Hearing the commotion, Su Bai and the others also came to the kitchen. Looking at Xiang Ling holding a spatula and Paimon, who was covered in a mess and still licking his hands, Ying said something in a low voice.

"Xiangling, although Paimon is food, it is also an emergency food. When there is food available, it is better not to cook her."

"Hey, Luminous, Paimon isn't food!"

Paimon stomped her foot in mid-air, and the nectar from the Lil's Flower that was on her body splashed directly into Luminaire's mouth. The spiciness combined with the sweetness of the Lil's Flower almost made Luminaire's face scrunch up. It's true that emergency food is better eaten as soon as possible.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? Are you planning to marinate Little Paimon and then roast him? That's so mean!"

Hu Tao carried two jars of fine wine as she walked in through the main entrance of Wanmintang. Earlier, on the way, Hu Tao had temporarily separated from Su Bai and the others because she had forgotten to bring the wine.

"Exactly, exactly, you guys are so mean."

Paimon agreed with Hu Tao's words, and Hu Tao took out the Homo Staff, and fire elemental energy ignited along the staff.

"You guys didn't even put shrimp in the marinade for the mini Paimons? That's such a waste! By the way, when are we going to start baking mini Paimons? I, the master, can provide the fire element~"

"Hey?? Walnut, you're even worse!"

Paimon's angry expression made everyone burst into laughter. Seeing that the jokes were almost over, Xingqiu automatically took over the cleaning work.

"Cutting rain and flowing rainbows!"

Several rain-curtain swords gently patted Paimon's body. It has to be said that Xingqiu's control over water elements is quite good. You can tell from Paimon's enjoyable expression that the rain-curtain swords were applied with just the right amount of force.

"I am coming too."

Mona flicked her hand through the air, and a ball of water appeared above Paimon's head. Before Paimon could react, the water ball burst, and a large mass of water turned Paimon into a drenched Paimon.

While everyone else was laughing, Xiangling didn't seem to be smiling much. Su Bai noticed that Xiangling seemed a little absent-minded, so he asked her what was wrong.

"What's wrong, Xiangling? Is there anything we can help you with?"

"No, no, no, I don't need your help. It's just that the last dish I made for the master seems to be inedible."

Looking at the pot of bright red chili oil, Xiangling looked troubled. Apart from the ingredients Ningguang brought, Wanmintang had almost used up all the ingredients, but they were still one dish short of the twelve dishes.

Should we take some of the ingredients Ningguang sent? No, no, Ningguang sent them just for the evening dinner. If she uses them without permission, it'll be military business.

Looking at the empty food area, Xiangling sighed. It was getting dark outside, and judging by the time, there might not be anything left to buy.

Su Bai glanced at Xiang Ling, whose eyebrows were furrowed, and then at the empty food section. He nodded thoughtfully, as if he already knew what Xiang Ling was troubled about.

Seeing Xiangling's troubled expression, Su Bai silently browsed the space of the Eye of God. Well, in the vast space, apart from the illusion mushrooms he had nurtured with fairy power when he first returned to Liyue Harbor, there was nothing else to eat.

The illusion mushroom—if he remembered correctly, it tasted really good, and the illusion it created shouldn't be a problem for someone with strong abilities.

"Hey Xiangling, I have a few mushrooms here. You can take them if you don't mind."

Su Bai took out several colorful mushrooms and placed them on the cutting board. Xiang Ling's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the ingredients she had never seen before.

Chapter 189 The Immortals' Feast (1)

Grandma Ping was in a good mood that day, strolling leisurely through the streets of Liyue Harbor with a kind smile that never left her face. Although the sudden appearance of Oser had caused heavy losses to Liyue Harbor, it had also ushered in a new era for the port. Seeing Liyue becoming stronger and stronger, she, as a hermit, was naturally very happy.

Moreover, recently, for some reason, the True Lord of Water and Mountain built a house next to her residence. With this old friend by her side, Grandma Ping felt that life seemed to have become more interesting. After all, having an old friend who could burn a pot while cooking by her side would always bring plenty of fun.

It's unclear who let it slip, but several of her old friends came down the mountain to Liyue Harbor to watch Liyue Dieshan Zhenjun cook. The immortals started interacting more, and this dish reminded many of the time of the Demon God War, when immortals often gathered in Liyue Harbor to protect mortals.

Perhaps it was because the immortals had rediscovered their old feelings that when she suggested they all go to the place of the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng for a gathering, the immortals all nodded in agreement. Even the retired Emperor, upon hearing about this, said he would take Ruotu to ask for a cup of wine.

"I wonder what dishes Xiao Xiangling has prepared. I told her that I would take care of the food. If it's too delicious, that little girl Gan Yu will probably complain that I made her gain weight."

Grandma Ping couldn't help but shake her head with a smile when she thought of Gan Yu's complaining yet irresistible urge to eat more. Gan Yu was such a cute girl, but her personality was truly something else.

"That little girl is something else. She's lived in Liyue Harbor for so many years, but she's never really integrated into the community. Maybe we won't invite her to the next gathering of the immortals."

"It's not a bad thing to let this little girl get together with her friends more often."

While pondering how to solve Gan Yu's problem, Grandma Ping unknowingly arrived in front of Wanmin Hall. She was startled to smell a strange fragrance wafting from inside the hall, as she had never smelled this fragrance before. This truly surprised Grandma Ping.

However, considering how vast the continent of Teyvat is, it's normal that there are some ingredients she hasn't tried before. With that in mind, Granny Ping stepped into the Hall of Rebirth.

As soon as she stepped into the Hall of Rebirth, Grandma Ping saw Little Walnut, whom the Emperor had raised as his daughter, teasing Mark Hughes, also known as Guoba, with a snack. Seeing her old friend happily munching on a snack, Grandma Ping was also happy for her old friend.

"Oh, Master, you're here! I just finished making the last dish. Let me wrap it up for you."

Through the kitchen door, Grandma Ping saw strange mushrooms glistening with oil in the pot. She was very curious about what these mushrooms tasted like. If it weren't for the fact that all the younger generation were there, Grandma Ping would have insisted on trying one first.

"Grandma Ping, you elders didn't invite me to your gathering. If Xiangling hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about this."

Su Bai's resentful voice drifted to Granny Ping's ears. Granny Ping smiled kindly. As the youngest of all the immortals, Su Bai was naturally the one she doted on.

"You little rascal, weren't you unconscious when the few of us wanted to have a meal together?"

"Hmm, it seems so, hehe."

Su Bai chuckled twice, and Grandma Ping shook her head helplessly at Su Bai's simple-minded appearance.

"You little fox, don't worry, I won't force you to attend the party like Liu Yun did. You should play with your friends. After all, you're all grown up now and it's time for you to make your own choices."

"Really? Grandma Ping, you truly are a kind and understanding immortal."

Su Bai wasn't embarrassed that his disguise had been exposed by Granny Ping. In fact, if he could avoid attending the immortals' gathering, a little embarrassment wouldn't have been a problem.

After all, as a junior, he was often asked by his elders to perform a talent at the party, which was his embarrassing past. If he could do it all over again, he would never have let Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun take him to the party out of curiosity when he was a child.

"By the way, Grandma Ping, those colorful mushrooms are ones I grew myself. They might have some special effects, so it's best if you don't eat too many at once."

Grandma Ping nodded slightly. It seemed that these fragrant mushrooms were no ordinary mushrooms, and she needed to let her other old friends try them first.

"Then I'll take it. When Xiao Xiangling comes back, remember to tell her that she doesn't need to cook for me."

Inside the Jueyun Pass, Zhongli was leading a disgruntled Ruo Tuo on the road to Mount Aozang. Perhaps because he was really annoyed, Ruo Tuo picked up a pebble and killed a roadside flower.

"Ruo Tuo, you don't need to take it too seriously. There are so many people in Liyue, it's inevitable that there will be a few who disrespect me or misunderstand me."

"I know what you're saying, but I'm really angry. Why would anyone think that trash Heuria is more suitable to guide Liyue than you?"

"That man even went so far as to say that the coward Heuria had been deceived by you, and that you were a big liar."

At this point, Ruo Tuo became even angrier, but there was nothing nearby for him to vent his anger on. So Ruo Tuo stomped his foot hard on the ground and saw several cracks appear. Zhong Li also silently quickened his pace with Ruo Tuo.

As a notorious critic of the Emperor in Liyue Harbor, Zhongli really wanted to have some conversation with the woman Ruoduo mentioned. Although he didn't know where that woman had seen so many erroneous histories, Zhongli didn't feel much about it.

If Heuria, this demon goddess, were to live in a peaceful era, she would surely be a highly revered demon goddess. Unfortunately, she was born in the wrong time.

"Alright, Ruoduo, it's normal for some people to have doubts about me, after all, everyone's thoughts are different."

"What are you talking about? You are the Rock God. How can your own people question your own god?"

"But I have already abdicated."

"I don't care, I just think you're the God of Rock."

The two bickered and argued all the way, with Ruo Tuo occasionally punching Zhong Li's knee. Zhong Li wanted to lecture him, but as soon as he tried, Ruo Tuo would run far away.

"This aura... it seems the Emperor has arrived. The other aura must be that of the Dragon King Ruotu."

On Mount Aozang, Granny Ping sensed two familiar auras below the mountain and felt somewhat emotional. The relationship between these two was still as good as ever. Moreover, the Emperor was far too lenient with the Dragon King Ruo Tuo. Despite such a rude act, the Rock King Emperor did not reprimand the Dragon King Ruo Tuo at all.

Chapter 190 The Immortals' Feast (2)

"It seems that the relationship between the Dragon King Ruoduo and the Emperor has improved quite a bit in just a few days. I'm afraid only the Dragon King Ruoduo in Liyue can play around with the Emperor like this. I'm really envious."

Looking at Ruotuo playfully fighting with Zhongli, a hint of envy flashed in Granny Ping's eyes. Among all the immortals, there was no female immortal who had not fallen for the Emperor. Even she, A-Ping, had once admired the Emperor very much.

Sensing that the Emperor was heading towards the mountaintop, Xiao and the other immortals all stood up. Although the Emperor didn't care about such details, etiquette still had to be observed.

"You're all here, sit down, why are you standing?"

Ruo Tuo, having reached the summit, sat down on a stone bench without a care. Seeing Ruo Tuo's lack of manners and Zhong Li sitting next to him, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun glared at Ruo Tuo, seemingly displeased with his behavior.

Noticing that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun glared at him, Ruo Tuo glared back without backing down. Although he didn't know why Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was glaring at him, it didn't stop Ruo Tuo from making a gesture of plucking feathers from a bird.

"Dragon King Ruo Tuo, do you really think this immortal is easy to bully?!"

"Alright, Liuyun, it's a rare opportunity for us to get together today, so don't get so worked up."

"And you, Ruoduo, today is the day to celebrate my successful retirement, so behave yourself."

Zhongli rubbed Ruo Tuo's little head, her tone full of favoritism towards Ruo Tuo. Ruo Tuo made a face at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun but didn't continue to make a fuss. She still had to give Morax face.

"Since everyone's due, I'll serve the food now."

Seeing that Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and Ruo Tuo Long Wang had calmed down, Granny Ping finally felt relieved and took out the food that Xiang Ling had prepared. After all, if the two of them started fighting and overturned the food, the immortals would have no choice but to eat the Qingxin and Liuli Baihe that Gan Yu had accumulated over the years.

As Granny Ping took out dish after dish from her small space, the aroma filled the top of Mount Aozang. Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun looked at many dishes she had never eaten before and felt a surge of joy. It seemed that she was in for a treat today.

After arranging the eleven dishes around the table, Grandma Ping finally placed the roasted illusion mushroom in the center of the stone table. Looking at the familiar mushroom, Zhongli's expression was a little strange.

He clearly remembered that little girl Hu Tao, out of curiosity, ate a bite of the mushroom growing in Su Bai's room, and then, as if she were drunk and going on a rampage, she almost set the Hall of Rebirth on fire. If he hadn't been in the Hall of Rebirth at the time, it would have had to be rebuilt.

Although this mushroom is somewhat strange, it tastes surprisingly good. Moreover, if one has a deep obsession, this mushroom will create the illusion that the eater most desires, making it quite a wonderful celestial object.

If he remembered correctly, Su Bai used this mushroom in combination with his illusion magic to restore Ruo Tuo's senses. Zhong Li glanced at Ruo Tuo, looking thoughtful.

Ruo Tuo, however, did not pay attention to Zhong Li's gaze. Ever since Zhong Li broke her seal, she had not eaten this kind of mushroom for a long time. The wonderful taste and unforgettable flavor of the mushroom made Ruo Tuo's mouth water.
