Smelling the fragrance of Qingxin and Tiantian flowers in the air, he returned to his bedroom by the window in a happy mood, his desire to farm satisfied.

The next morning, I didn't go to the hut.

As a port city, Liyue is often shrouded in humid mist drifting from the sea at dawn.

But today, this slightly salty water vapor is filled with a unique fragrance that has never been seen before.

Before Lin Feng arrived, the dining table, which was often occupied by only Bai Zhu and A Gui, seemed a little crowded because of the aroma.

——I saw that Changsheng and Qiqi, who were usually very precious, would be the ones willing to sit at the table. But now they were sitting in front of their plates with their eyes wide open.

But looking at the dining table, there are no rare delicacies that can be called delicacies from land and sea.

A dish of refreshing lotus seed porridge, a bowl of mixed vegetable soup, some health-preserving medicinal food, snacks and home-cooked dishes, that's all.

But these dishes, which were not much different from those in the past, attracted not only Changsheng, but even Qiqi, who had no sense of taste.

Bai Zhu looked at the unprecedentedly lively backyard and felt that the young man in front of him, whom he met in the wild, was truly an unpredictable and strange person.

Glancing at the unfamiliar yet familiar members at the table, Bai Zhu said with some emotion:

"This is really rare. I can't even remember the last time Qiqi and Changsheng had breakfast together."

"Mr. Lin, these 'home-cooked vegetables' you brought are truly extraordinary."

Bai Zhu felt much more energetic just by smelling the aroma of the food. He also knew why his snake and zombie came to eat.

——Whether it was Qiqi or Changsheng, they already lacked vitality due to various reasons. Naturally, they had no resistance to the food in front of them that was rich in vitality and could be called natural treasures.

After receiving the supplement of vitality, I think both Changsheng's sleepiness and Qiqi's forgetfulness can be improved a little.

But if Lin Feng brought some legendary magical ganoderma, ginseng, rare flowers and herbs, Bai Zhu would not be so surprised except to sigh at the other party's generosity.

But it was obvious that the boy in front of him only brought some of the most common tomatoes, potatoes, bamboo shoots and cabbage, so he really couldn't understand why they had such effects.

Recalling the tomato I ate twice on the spot because I was too surprised in the morning.

Baizhu has to admit that although it tastes great and has extraordinary effects, that tomato is indeed just a tomato.

He shook his head and stopped trying to struggle with something that was beyond his understanding.

He looked at the fragrant, fresh and tempting food in front of him.

He put aside his usual seriousness, ignored Changsheng and Qiqi who were frantically scrambling for food, and concentrated on enjoying the meal.

Yujingtai, early morning.

Even in the most prosperous area of ​​Liyue, when the moon was at its zenith, no pedestrians could be seen.

A girl with blue hair and a strange horn ornament on her head quietly left Yuehai Pavilion and walked alone on the empty pavilion.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the girl, bringing a sense of otherworldliness to her graceful figure.

But such a fairy-like girl, when passing by a small building at the corner of Yujingtai, frequently stopped her steps, looking back every few steps at the building that did not seem very luxurious.

I saw that in the flower fence in front of the small building, what was planted were not the colorful flowers and glazed lilies that the rich people in Yujingtai liked, but some high-quality Qingxin and glazed bags.

In the corners of the flower fence, you can even faintly smell the sweet scent unique to sweet flowers.

Smelling the tempting aroma filling the air, the girl, whose stomach was growling, became very curious about this family that didn't fit in with the other residents.

——Who is the owner of this place? Why did I find the shadows of several vegetables in the flower field? It smells really good.

Even though her body's instinct made her subconsciously want to get closer to that area, the blue-haired girl seemed to have extremely strong self-discipline.

Although I still can't help looking back frequently,

But in the end, the girl relied on her strong willpower and gradually moved away from this tempting and decadent "sinful land".

Chapter 140: First Meeting with Zhongli

Hall of the Dead, funeral hall.

In the hall with a simple layout and neatly arranged various funeral supplies, an exquisitely shaped black square table is placed in the northeast corner of the room.

On the matching chair, a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes and with outstanding temperament was sitting there, drinking tea in a very peaceful manner.

The tea has a faint fragrance and a bright color. The teapot and cups seem to be a set. Even at a cursory glance, you can tell that they must be produced by a famous craftsman and of extraordinary value.

But even such a person who exudes a sense of "stability" and "reliability" all over his body, inexplicably gives people a very distressed feeling when facing the lively girl in front of him.

"Zhongli, what do you think about this?"

"I have already made an appointment with Bubulu to come to a meeting to promote cooperation between the two sides. You can't sneak away halfway again this time, right?"

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips and looked at the guest official in front of her who had been absent from work for several days. The plum blossom marks in her eyes were shining, and she seemed to be standing on the moral high ground.

"Master, I asked for leave from you a few days ago."

"——From a common sense perspective, this cannot be considered as absenteeism."

The young man paused with his hand holding the teacup, and instead of responding, he started talking about another topic.

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that? I haven't even approved your leave, and you just ran away. You haven't even come to the hall these days to report."

"——Even if you just hang out in Liyue Harbor and drink tea after the hour of dawn like before, just for show, it would be fine?!"

Hu Tao snorted and looked at the slacking man in front of him with unprecedented powerful momentum.

"."

Zhongli's hand, which was pouring tea, froze as he sensed the long-accumulated resentment of the girl in front of him.

Hu Tao saw that this guest in her family's hall, who usually looked calm, showed a rare look of embarrassment.

She was not really angry to begin with. She turned her head, shook her reddish-brown twin ponytails, and brought up her original topic again:

"——No matter what, this is our first official exchange with a high-quality partner. Now that you are back, as an important member of the Wangsheng Hall, you must not be absent!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for not paying those bills you sent back earlier against all odds~"

"."

Looking at the energetic girl in front of him, Zhongli sighed, put down the teacup in his hand, and rarely showed an expression of being unable to cope with it.

Hu Tao glanced at the defeated Zhongli, her eyes curved, her hands on her hips, and she showed a vigorous smile as if she had won a great victory.

That evening, I didn't go to the hut.

Qiqi, who felt that her memory had inexplicably improved, was doing odd jobs in the lobby of the medicine house.

The little girl stood on tiptoe, holding the rag in her hand, and swept the dust on the table very carefully.

!!!

suddenly,

As if I felt something.

The petite purple-haired girl froze, threw away the cleaning tools in her hands, quickly rushed to Bubu Lu's garden, and hid herself skillfully.

"."

Lin Feng, who was standing aside, looked at Qiqi's frightened behavior, his mouth twitched, and he had a new understanding of her close friend who had unilaterally declared himself.

——He's scared like this. Hu Tao must have done a lot of trouble to Qi Qi before.

Ignoring a small zombie whose "Killing Intent Perception" was maxed out for the moment, Lin Feng turned his attention to a young girl who appeared at the main entrance of Bubu House.

Walnut was seen with his hands on his hips, his head held high and his chest puffed out, looking like he had returned victorious.

After seeing Lin Feng, the girl came up to him with a warm look on her face, raised her eyebrows, and said proudly:

"Hehe, let me tell you, I finally convinced that old antique in my family and brought him to this 'First Friendly Cooperation and Exchange Meeting between Bubu Lu and Wangsheng Hall'. I will introduce you to him later and ask him to help this hall master maintain customer relationships when he goes out for a walk in the future."

"I tell you, it's not easy to persuade him. If it weren't for my eloquence and great eloquence, I might not be able to invite him over."

Hu Tao originally wanted to show off to Lin Feng in front of her how she could make Zhongli speechless with just three sentences.

But she thought she would be praised, but she only saw the boy in front of her, pointing behind him with some doubt, and asked:

"Um, Master Hu, are you sure Mr. Zhongli is really here?"

!!!

Suddenly realizing something, Hu Tao turned around and looked, and found that there was nothing behind him, not even a single person.

The guest official was clearly following closely behind him just now, but he disappeared without a trace when he just loosened his hand for a short while? !

"Zhongli, you bastard!"

Facing Hall Master Hu, who was gritting his teeth and seemed to be emitting a black aura, Lin Feng felt a chill and could only observe three minutes of silence for an old man who got lost along the way.

"Humph! He must have gone somewhere to drink tea and watch a play again. If you are interested, you can go to the Three Bowls of Buguogang in Huyan, or the Heyu Teahouse in Feiyunpo to look for him."

“——As for this hall master, when this guy returns to the Hall of Rebirth, I will definitely not let him go easily!”

Hu Tao was so angry that he said something harsh, but he had no intention of going back to look for that street urchin.

After providing Lin Feng with the approximate location, she changed her target and began to search for the figure of a little purple-haired zombie in Bubu House with shining eyes.

Shaking his head, knowing that Hu Tao no longer had any intention of burying Qi Qi, Lin Feng did not care about this pair of "close friends" with a delicate relationship.

Having given up hope of finding Zhongli by force, he finally decided to take a couple of laps around Liyue Harbor before dinner time.

Facing the fiery red sunset, Lin Feng walked out of the gate of Bubu Lu.

Walking southeast along Feiyunpo, wisps of smoke coming from the direction of Chihuyan gradually lingered around his nose.

Having lived in the countryside for some time, he did not dislike the smell of burning firewood. Instead, he felt a very warm and familiar feeling about it.

Following the direction of the smoke, Lin Feng approached the bridgehead in the south of the city for the first time since arriving in Liyue Harbor.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, a few large dogs that looked very docile were playing with children on the bridge, exuding an ordinary atmosphere of life.

I thought of my wish to pet the dog at the Liyue Bridge when I first traveled through time.

Lin Feng, who was gradually becoming playful, originally wanted to join the group of children to tease this big dog that looked very nice to touch.

But just as he approached the bridge head and before he could take two steps forward, he noticed someone looking at him from behind and turned his head in confusion.

——When he turned around, he saw a handsome, tall young man with golden eyes.

He was sitting on a seat below the three bowls, drinking tea.

With calm eyes and a normal expression, he listened to the storyteller named Tian Tiezui on the high platform, telling a story about "The Emperor's Expedition".

Chapter 141 Conversation with Zhongli

".At that time, in Liyue, there were great demons invading the sea, and evil dragons lurking in the mountains."

".Emperor Yan Wang summoned all the immortals to restore a bright and clear world to the world——"

"——Rumor has it that the Emperor said this when he was going to war."

The setting sun was blocked by the outline of the building, and the warm yellow light cast several shadows of various shapes on the screen behind the storyteller.

Tian Tiezui, dressed in a gray and white robe, shook the folding fan in his hand and told the ancient legend about "Emperor Rock King" with an excited expression.

Even though it was a classic story that was well-known to everyone and had been passed down for thousands of years, there were still many listeners of different ages gathered around the round table in the audience.

From the elderly tea drinkers with hunched backs and white hair,

To the middle-aged workers who are strong and energetic,

There were even a few children with shining eyes and full of admiration.

From their focused expressions, even outsiders who had just arrived in Liyue could easily perceive the Liyue people's heartfelt reverence for the Geo King.

Lin Feng just stood silently in the stands.

Just like an ordinary resident who happened to pass by but was attracted by the story, he quietly experienced Liyue's rich history of 3,700 years.

The lanterns in front of the teahouse suddenly lit up, and time passed quietly under the storyteller's superb skills.

In the past, Lin Feng, who had never experienced the teahouse era, experienced the most authentic storytelling in Liyue Harbor.
