I am in Genshin Impact, I can use the stick warrior talent

Ganyu noticed Su Chen's uneasiness. A trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She whispered to Xiangling, "Xiangling, thank you for your careful preparation. These dishes look delicious. But Su Chen may be more accustomed to a diet with meat. Can we..."

Xiangling suddenly interrupted Ganyu: "Oh, don't worry, I've already guessed it! In fact, I have prepared some special dishes, which are meat dishes slightly modified according to the traditional flavors of Liyue, just to let Su Chen also taste the delicious food of Wanmin Hall."

After Su Chen heard this, a pleased smile immediately appeared on his face. He looked at Xiang Ling gratefully and said, "Xiang Ling, thank you so much. I knew that the dishes at Wanmin Hall would never disappoint us."

Xiangling smiled triumphantly and quickly returned to the kitchen to prepare the next dish. Ganyu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Su Chen a gentle smile.

Paimon watched this scene from the side, secretly delighted in his heart: "Haha, everyone is happy now."

Soon, Xiangling served a plate of delicious dishes, including tender roast meat and fragrant soups, making the atmosphere at the table even more lively.

The three of them sat together, enjoying the delicious food and the warm time. Laughter and conversation came one after another. As the night grew darker, the warmth and joy in Wanmin Hall became stronger.

As Ganyu picked up her chopsticks gracefully, a leisurely and contented atmosphere immediately enveloped the dining area.

Su Chen reached out and picked up the chopsticks, feeling a little nervous, but was soon attracted by the colors surrounding all the dishes in front of him and began to interact.

Su Chen and Gan Yu sat in a corner of the Wanmin Hall, with three vegetarian dishes prepared by Xiangling in front of them. The first dish was a plate of bright "Green Dew and Green Leaves", made of fresh spinach, bean sprouts and carrots, with crystal clear lemon juice drizzled on the green leaves, and a few slices of red carrots and yellow corn kernels spread out, colorful and refreshing.

Su Chen gently picked up a piece of spinach and took a bite. The refreshing plant aroma spread in his mouth, and the sour and sweet lemon juice made it very memorable.

Ganyu also imitated it gracefully, with a satisfied look in her eyes.

The second dish is "Glass Lotus Vegetarian", with snow-white tofu as the solid, broken lotus shape, inlaid with colorful and beautiful vegetable jewels in the middle - red pepper, cucumber, purple cabbage. The tofu is delicate and crisp, and the vegetables are crisp and refreshing. Every bite is a wonderful taste enjoyment.

Finally, there is the "Autumn Fruit Plate in the Forest", which brings together a variety of mushrooms, nuts and fruits.

Golden king oyster mushrooms, coconut-flavored shiitake mushrooms, crunchy walnuts and almonds, as well as fresh blueberries and strawberries, form such a picture of the autumn forest. Every bite seems to be integrated into the embrace of life.

After finishing all this, Xiangling came over with a proud smile and said, "These dishes may have been inspired by a mysterious master.

He told me that real food has taste, but also has the function of sustaining people's feelings. Every dish is an art and an expression of emotion. "

Ganyu and Su Chen looked at each other, and saw in each other's eyes the satisfaction and appreciation of the meal. This was not just an ordinary meal, but a dual journey of taste and soul.

"Hmm, this taste..." Su Chen chewed Xiangling's special dish lightly, his expression changed from confusion to surprise, "This combination of vegetarian dishes is unexpectedly harmonious."

Paimon immediately began to eat eagerly, her little face lit up with satisfaction and happiness. Seeing Paimon so happy, Ganyu couldn't help but smile softly, and tasted every piece of food gracefully.

"Indeed, these simple ingredients, when mixed together, bring such a rich taste." Ganyu exclaimed in a low voice, with gratitude for the food flashing in her eyes.

In this warm and pleasant dining atmosphere, Xiangling brought a pot of freshly brewed scented tea, which brought a perfect end to everyone's gourmet journey.

"This scented tea is made from tea leaves that I grew myself in the back mountain. I hope you will like it." Xiangling said proudly, pouring a cup for everyone.

Su Chen picked up the cup and took a deep breath of the scent of the tea, feeling the freshness and tranquility. Ganyu and Paimeng also had similar expressions on their faces.

"Xiangling, your cooking skills are really great. Today's meal has left me with a deep impression of Wanmin Hall." Su Chen praised sincerely.

As the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, the Hall of All Peoples gradually returned to peace.

After this meal, not only did their stomachs feel satisfied, but their hearts also seemed to be surrounded by warmth.

At the intersection outside the Wanmin Hall, Ganyu's hurried footsteps gradually faded away, leaving behind a sweet embarrassment and confusion. Xiangling looked at Su Chen, with curiosity and confusion in her eyes, but Su Chen just smiled slightly, staring deeply in the direction where Ganyu left.

"Su Chen, are you really hurt?" Xiang Ling asked with concern.

"It's okay, Xiangling, it's just that some things seem to need to be taken slowly." Su Chen answered softly, with a hint of perceptible tenderness in his voice.

Paimeng had already sat up from the table, stroking his round belly, and looked at Su Chen curiously, "So what should we do next?"

"Hmm..." Su Chen pondered for a moment, then said, "Maybe we should give Ganyu some time and space to let her sort out her thoughts. However, there are still some things to deal with now."

"Are you helping Xiangling?" Paimon blinked his big eyes.

"That's right," Su Chen nodded and turned to Xiang Ling, "Xiang Ling, don't worry about today's order. I will explain it to the people at Yue Hai Pavilion. This matter will not affect you."

Xiangling smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Su Chen, I really appreciate it."

It was late at night, and the lights in Wanmin Hall were warm and comfortable. Su Chen stood up and looked at the starry sky outside the window, thinking about his next plan. He knew that today's meal might be of great significance to Ganyu, and it was the first step for her to integrate into this world.

"Let's go, Paimon, we still have things to do." Su Chen said with a smile, picked up the long sword on the desk and tied it around his waist.

At the door, Xiangling waved goodbye. Su Chen nodded to her and walked out of Wanmin Hall.

Under the night sky, the streets of Liyue were quiet and beautiful. Su Chen's figure lengthened under the lights as he embarked on a new journey.

……

Chapter 235 Ganyu's Request

In the early morning of Liyue Port, Su Chen stood alone on the cliff dock, staring at the vast sky.

The summer morning light shone on his face, but his eyes seemed to contain a hint of melancholy, as if a light blue dreamy snowflake slowly melted in the warm sunshine, turning into clear lake water, dyeing the surrounding scenery with color.

"Ha... this sunshine really makes me lazy." Su Chen stretched out his body, yawned, and a hint of dissatisfaction could be detected in his eyes.

Suddenly, the voice of a tall and heroic woman broke the tranquility of the early morning. "Su Chen, you are so sleepy today, it's really hard to understand!" There was a hint of joking and reproach in the woman's voice.

Turning his head, Su Chen saw Beidou standing in front of him.

The leader of the Southern Cross Fleet has a handsome appearance and a determined look in her eyes. Even with an eye patch covering her left eye, it cannot conceal her unique heroic spirit.

"Oh, Sister Beidou, if you hadn't called me out so early, I would still be sleeping soundly now."

As Su Chen spoke, he couldn't help but yawn again, with a hint of smile and relaxation on his face.

One morning in Liyue Harbor, Su Chen stood on the dock, lost in his own thoughts. He held a letter in his hand, seemingly calm, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his inner struggle.

Beidou, the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, had eagle-like eyes and saw through Su Chen's troubles. She sighed deeply, with a subtle concern in her tone.

"Su Chen, although I don't know what's written in the letter, if you need to go to Mond, the Southern Cross Fleet welcomes you at any time." There was a hint of firmness in Beidou's voice.

Su Chen's eyes flashed with determination, and he knew he needed to make a choice. He put away the letter and said to Beidou, "Thank you, Sister Beidou. I need to prepare first, and then I will join you."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Beidou responded, revealing an invisible support in his voice.

Su Chen turned and left, feeling a cool sea breeze blowing past him, as if reminding him that although the road ahead was unknown, he didn't have to be alone.

He came to Yuehai Pavilion, the door slowly opened, and Su Chen's eyes fell on Ganyu behind the desk. He greeted softly: "Ganyu, good morning."

Ganyu didn't seem to notice his arrival, and was deeply immersed in the documents in her hands. Su Chen walked closer and asked softly, "Ganyu, what are you looking at?"

Gan Yu looked up with a look of surprise: "Su Chen, when did you come?" Her expression was a little confused, as if her thoughts were interrupted.

Su Chen smiled awkwardly: "Just arrived. What are you looking at so intently?"

Gan Yu's expression suddenly became heavy: "This is about some complicated documents. I was thinking..." She suddenly stood up and bowed solemnly, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes: "Su Chen, I have a sudden request today. I hope you can help me."

Su Chen was at a loss for a moment. He felt that the secretary next to him was secretly looking at him. His cheeks flushed slightly. He quickly helped Gan Yu up and said, "Gan Yu, there's no need to be so formal. You talk and I'm listening."

"Oh... I'm sorry, I was a little too abrupt." Gan Yu realized her mistake and her face turned slightly red. She quickly picked up the document in the box and gently covered half of her face. Her voice gradually calmed down and she began to narrate slowly: "In fact, not long after you left last night, a report came from the General Affairs Department. Someone saw the Fatui envoys appear in Liuyue's dance pavilion - Jiuluan Pavilion. You know, that's where the elegant people gather. This kind of situation has never happened before."

She paused and continued, "The situation is rather special. Considering the Demon God incident some time ago, the General dare not impose a blockade. But it is not realistic to use force to contain them directly. We can only quietly collect intelligence."

A trace of determination flashed in her eyes. "According to the analysis of the information we have, the Fatui will most likely show up again tonight. So, Su Chen... I would like to ask you to accompany me to investigate tonight, is that okay?"

There was a hint of anticipation and nervousness in Ganyu's eyes, like a violet hit by frost, or like an important request that involved the fate of the entire Liyue.

A warm feeling surged in Su Chen's heart. He had already stopped and decided on tomorrow's plan to accompany her to conduct an investigation.

He smiled and responded easily: "Since this is your request, how can I refuse?"

When Ganyu heard this, the tension on her face eased a little, and she returned to her usual gentle beauty.

However, when Su Chen raised a question: "But Ganyu, generally speaking, the fewer people the better for such an action, right? Why do you have to include me?

A faint blush suddenly appeared on Ganyu's face. She turned her head awkwardly and said in a weak voice: "This... is a bit complicated. I can't be sure now..."

Su Chen smiled jokingly: "Oh, it seems to be a big secret, right? Don't worry, I won't ask any more questions. Don't be too nervous."

Ganyu could only nod gently. The blush on her face and forehead was like a blooming rose, spreading to her ears and even to her shoulders and neck. She was so shy that she could hardly speak.

If it had been like this yesterday, perhaps she could still accept it, but today she had to confess to Su Chen that the theme of the song and dance at Jiuluan Pavilion tonight was "Deep Love", and most of the participants were couples. She invited him to go because she couldn't find a suitable candidate... This fact was simply unspeakable.

"It's all because of work..." She comforted herself in this way, but unconsciously, her eyes would occasionally secretly look at Su Chen. As long as her eyes met his, she would immediately turn her head away shyly. Her girlish and shy posture made Su Chen a little stunned.

He thought to himself: Ganyu is so beautiful today. She is like a butterfly flying freely under the blue sky, and the sea of ​​flowers can hardly retain her footprints. Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

Ganyu realized that she had no thought of rejection in her heart, and her fairy-like face flushed slightly again.

Jiuluan Pavilion, this place between the Liyue Pavilions, is decorated with cinnabar and dark green paintings, with a faint rouge and sandalwood fragrance. It is a fairyland on earth and a paradise for all kinds of life. It neither pursues vulgarity nor rejects elegance. Phoenix, a gorgeous phoenix, stands tall in all directions.

When Su Chen approached Jiuluan Pavilion, the scent of several kinds of sandalwood and the hot aroma of intoxicating alcohol in front of the door made him frown unconsciously.

He did not bring Paimon and Yingmei with him today. He was waiting here alone, feeling drowsy.

The time they had agreed on had arrived, and waiting alone was indeed a bit boring.

If Yingmei or Paimon were here, maybe we could take the opportunity to joke and flirt with them.

Su Chen estimated that the agreed time had passed, but when he looked around, apart from the constantly flashing fireworks, he only saw a long lonely road.

"I'm sorry, Su Chen, I kept you waiting!" Gan Yu's voice floated softly in the night wind. When Su Chen heard this familiar voice, his worries finally settled. He smiled and was about to greet her: "You're here, Gan..." Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly fixed on Gan Yu.

Ganyu tonight seemed to come out of a dream, her golden eyes sparkling under the light. Her blue hair was gently combed, and two Qingxin petals were inlaid on her bun, which contrasted with her rosy face. The three colors of blue, red and white formed a colorful picture.

Gan Yu's figure is elegant, with snow-white jade shoulders lightly matched, and a piece of golden amber hanging from the white ribbon around her neck, showing a pure and elegant beauty. Her blue skirt is light and flowing, as if she has turned into a pink snow-white jade butterfly, floating in the world. The decoration on her chest is simple yet elegant, and the snow-edge print on the hem highlights her elegant temperament.

Su Chen's heart was filled with admiration: "She is like a peerless beauty who has woken up from a thousand-year dream."

"Don't, don't look at me so directly..." Ganyu and Su Chen's straightforward gazes instantly flushed her face. She turned around unconsciously, trying to hide her shyness.

Su Chen was also a little embarrassed. Looking at Gan Yu's blushing face, he coughed twice, trying to break the delicate atmosphere: "Ahem... um... Gan Yu, why are you dressed like this tonight?"

"I think, when coming to an occasion like this... I should at least dress in accordance with tonight's theme. Otherwise, wearing ordinary clothes will be particularly conspicuous. What if we are discovered by the Fatui? That would be a shame..." Ganyu's voice was soft, with a hint of worry.

Su Chen secretly clicked his tongue in his heart, [You are more attractive when you dress like this...] He thought to himself, secretly glancing at Gan Yu, observing every detail of her.

It wasn't until later that he realized that although Ganyu's outfit was so eye-catching, it clearly exuded worldly luxury, and it was obvious that extra thought had been put into the matching of her clothes.

Thinking about it this way, it is hard to understand why Ganyu was late.

He looked up and noticed Ganyu's flickering eyes. There seemed to be a gentle light between her brows, but once their eyes met, she would shyly avoid him.

Su Chen thought that Ganyu's purpose might not be as simple as she said, but how could he fully understand a girl's mind? He sighed softly, smiled, and suggested: "Okay, Ganyu, let's go in. It seems that there are still many people tonight."

Seeing Ganyu suddenly become professional, Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly. He secretly blamed himself for thinking too much, but finally nodded helplessly and followed her into the attic.

As soon as he stepped into the Jiuluan Pavilion, Su Chen saw nine floors arranged in a circle. Looking down, he saw a colorful sandalwood stage standing in the center of the hall.

The hanging brocade ribbons and lights made the whole attic dazzling, and the powerful noise spread to every corner.

The air became stuffy due to the large number of people. Su Chen gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling mixed emotions. He subconsciously looked at Gan Yu again and found that she was staring in a certain direction with a serious expression.

"Yun Jin is participating in the performance tonight. With her here, it's natural that people will come and go. Let's go in quickly."

Ganyu said this and pulled Su Chen in.

"Ganyu, did you find anything?" Su Chen had to get close to her ear and ask in a low voice.

Gan Yu's cheeks were unconsciously stained with a faint blush, and her heart was beating, as if it could penetrate the quiet night sky. "Su Chen... you are too close..." Her voice was thin, but mixed with an imperceptible tremor.

Su Chen, this boy who was so close, his breath was like a hot wind, gently brushing Gan Yu's ears, making her tremble all over. But she knew that this was not the time to indulge in this subtle atmosphere. She forced herself to suppress her inner shyness, and her trembling jade fingers slightly pointed to the distance.

"Over there..." she whispered.

Su Chen followed her gesture and saw a man in black sitting at the front of the venue. His presence was out of tune with the surroundings and stood out. Su Chen narrowed his eyes, and his deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all appearances.

"Ganyu, is our target the man in black?" Su Chen asked in a low and firm voice.

Ganyu nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Yes, his name is Kuk Garr, and he is the leader of the Fatui archaeological team. Although he looks ordinary, according to intelligence, he is extremely enthusiastic about the mission. It is because of his appearance tonight that the whole situation has become confusing."

Su Chen did not respond immediately. His eyes wandered among the crowd, searching for possible hidden dangers. However, his elemental vision did not capture anything unusual. This person, known as the leader of the Fatui, seemed to have come here alone tonight. Su Chen's thoughts drifted back to the Fatui member who was picking raspberries before, and he couldn't help but feel a little alert.

"Su Chen, we have to keep an eye on his every move. If he does anything unusual—" Gan Yu hadn't finished her words when suddenly, there was a loud bang and the lights in the venue suddenly went dark. The two hurriedly came back to their senses and saw a faint blue light gradually rising on the stage along with a clear sound.

"I live in the far north star field—"

"Sir, stay at the Nanwan Hall in the human world—"

As the melodious song played, the stage was filled with smoke, and two streams of white smoke intertwined, as if telling a story of untouchable love. And in the thick smoke, a girl in a pink dress slowly walked out, her black hair drooping like a waterfall, her figure graceful.

The girl's face was dotted with powder and makeup, making her look even more beautiful, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows. She raised her head slightly, as if she was talking to a being in the sky, and then she sighed deeply and moved silently to the far left of the stage.

The girl in front of Su Chen was like an elf from a fairyland. If he hadn't heard of her before, he would have almost mistaken her for a real emperor. Every move of Yun Jin was like a carefully choreographed dance. She stepped lightly onto the stage, causing the audience to whisper.

Although no one in the audience spoke, the tiny inhalation sounds were clearly heard by Su Chen. He stood on the outskirts of the crowd, his sight blocked by the crowd in front of him, and he could not see the Fatui [Kuk Gar] sitting in front of him. Su Chen nodded slightly, secretly evaluating in his heart.

Then, an actor dressed as a scholar walked onto the stage. Although her attire was masculine, upon closer inspection, she had a feminine beauty. Her face was lightly powdered and her lips were rosy. Despite the light makeup, she still couldn't hide her feminine temperament.

Unlike his silence towards Yun Jin, when Kuk Garr saw the scholar appear, he clapped his hands excitedly and almost couldn't help but stand up and cheer loudly. The scholar noticed Kuk Garr's reaction, smiled, nodded slightly to him, then turned to Yun Jin, walked lightly, and said elegantly:

"People can't see the moon when they look at the stars, so let's look at the water at the edge of the sky."

Yun Jin gently fanned herself and walked towards the stage with light steps. Her eyes were shining with affection. She sometimes looked at the audience, sometimes at the scholar, and she sang softly as if she was talking to herself:
