"Huh? That's..."

"Little Dionna, I met someone I know. You can go to the city first. Don't worry about me."

The next morning, Nangong Ya wanted to accompany Diona to Mondstadt, but when she accidentally saw someone on the roadside, she quickly said something to Diona and jumped off the carriage.

"Hey, seriously...be safe."

Nangong Ya jumped down as soon as she finished speaking. Diona, who hadn't reacted yet, was startled. After seeing that she was fine, she spoke depressedly.

Nangong Ya waved goodbye to Diona, then turned and ran in the direction of the acquaintance she had just seen.

"Sister Xiangling, Ying and Paimon, hello!"

Nangong Ya trotted all the way to Xiangling and Ying.

"Huh? It's Xiaoya. So you're here in Mondstadt too! What a coincidence!"

Xiangling's eyes lit up when she saw Nangong Ya. It took her several days of travel to reach Mondstadt, and she subconsciously thought that Nangong Ya was the same as her.

After all, the day before she planned to come to Mondstadt, Nangong Ya went to Wanmin Hall for dinner.

"Xiaoya and Xiangling, you two have known each other for a long time! I was just thinking of asking Xiaoya to catch another fish for Xiangling to cook!"

Paimeng, who was sitting on Ying's shoulder, was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the two of them actually knew each other.

After just seeing Xiangling's cooking skills, Paimeng couldn't help but wonder what delicious dishes he could make with top-quality ingredients combined with her cooking skills.

The only top-quality food Paimeng has seen recently is the giant black-backed sea bass caught by Nangong Ya.

"Hehe, after all, we are all from Liyue. I often go to Xiangling's Wanmin Hall for dinner."

Nangong Ya waved her hand and explained.

"But speaking of which, are you planning to go to Qingquan Town?"

After looking at the direction the three people were going, Nangong Ya asked again.

"It's like this, just now we..."

With Paimeng's explanation, Nangong Ya understood what had happened.

Since they had just been hunting in the wild boar's habitat, this act of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs violated the rules of the hunters in Qingquan Town. After being informed by hunter Allen, they planned to go back and apologize to the hunter leader Duraf in Qingquan Town.

"Oh, you have to go find Uncle Durav. He is Diona's father. We know him very well. Don't worry. He won't make things difficult for you."

Nangong Ya nodded in understanding, and then explained Duraf's identity to Ying and the others.

After all, she has been living in Diona's house these days.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Xiangling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her behavior would anger the other party. After all, she was the one who made the mistake first.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

Nangong Ya waved her hand and took Ying, Xiangling and the others back to Qingquan Town and arrived at Diona's house.

At this time, Duraf was already waiting here.

"Hmm? Xiaoya, didn't you accompany Diona to the city?"

After seeing Nangong Ya, Duraf was stunned for a moment. After all, he was the one who saw them off when they just left.

"That's right, uncle..."

Nangong Ya explained the situation of Xiangling and the others to Du Lafu.

"So you are Xiangling?"

After listening to Nangong Ya's explanation, Du Lafu's eyes lit up and he looked at Xiangling who was following behind Nangong Ya.

"I'm sorry Mr. Durafu, it's my fault!"

Xiangling quickly apologized to Duraf.

However, Duraf didn't really want to blame her. He just wanted Xiangling to help promote Qingquan Town's meat products.

But due to ideological issues, Xiangling finally rejected Duraf's request with a firm attitude.

"…Aren't we here to apologize?"

Paimon was a little confused, but he and Ying still followed Xiangling who was leaving.

"Don't worry, uncle. As a Liyue native, I really like the meat products from Qingquan Town. There will always be a chance to spread the fame to Liyue in the future."

Nangong Ya comforted Duraf, then turned around and followed Ying and the others.

By the time she caught up, Xiangling had already arranged a cooking duel with Brock, the chef from Qingquan Town, to compete in cooking skills, and then she ran back to Mondstadt to look for ingredients.

Nangong Ya thought about it for a while and remembered that she would rescue an ancestor of Diona and then fight a frozen tree.

"Come on, let's go together!"

Nangong Ya urged Ying and Paimeng with interest.

"Hey, hey, hey, go ahead. What are you doing with this big sword?"

Paimon was shocked when he saw Nangong Ya holding the Iron Shadow Broadsword.

"There might be monsters along the way, so it's a good idea to bring them along."

Nangong Ya would never tell Paimon that she wanted to find the Frost Tree to try out her new weapon.

The three of them followed the road to Liyue and came to a remote location at the foot of the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, where Xiangling was waiting.

After meeting up with Xiangling, they picked the ingredients Xiangling wanted along the way, including some lotus pods and Jueyun peppers.

But Xiangling felt that this was still a little short of the "crackling" feeling...

So everyone continued to move forward, and happened to meet a man shivering with cold in front of a cave. Judging from his attire, he should be a hunter from Qingquan Town.

“…Hahahaha, I feel much better. Thank you, this bowl of soup is delicious.”

After drinking the hot soup brought by Ying, Olaf, who was shivering with cold, felt a little warmer.

"I was chasing a wild boar..."

Olaf explained to Nangong Ya and the others why he was frozen like this.

After learning that there was a huge frozen tree in the ruins inside the cave, Xiangling suddenly became excited and was the first to rush into the cave.

"I am coming too!"

Nangong Ya hurriedly followed, and Ying had no choice but to follow Nangong Ya after reminding Olaf to return to Qingquan Town first.

Although there were many Hilichurls living in the ruins, they were easily knocked down by Xiangling's marksmanship. Nangong Ya, who was holding a big sword next to them, almost had no target to chop.

The two of them swept away all the monsters in this way. Ying, who followed behind, had no chance to fight back, so he had to spread his hands and follow behind with Paimon.

In this way, they came all the way to the deepest part of the ruins, and the huge frozen tree appeared in front of Nangong Ya and the others.

"It really is a huge frozen tree..."

Paimon said with some surprise.

"I'll do it, I'll take care of it!"

This was definitely the strongest monster Nangong Ya had ever seen since she woke up. She excitedly ran over with the Iron Shadow Broadsword, and suddenly woke up the huge Frost Tree.

"Hey, be careful!"

Paimon reminded anxiously from behind, but the excited Nangong Ya didn't hear her at all.

"Mr. Frost Tree, let me try the knife!"

Nangong Ya had never learned swordsmanship, so she didn't know any techniques. Overall, she was waving her sword around like a child, but she still held the sword with both hands, turned around, and slashed at the frozen tree with all her might.

"..."

"..."

As Ying and Paimon stared in astonishment, the Frost Tree was cut in half, and the upper part slowly slid down and hit the ground, completely stopping moving.

"Traveler, traveler... Xiaoya's sword is much more powerful than your edgeless sword!"

After a moment of shock, Paimon pulled Ying's hair as a reminder.

"I think it's not just the sword..."

"Also, if you keep pulling my hair, I'm going to be bald sooner or later."
