The next morning, Nangong Ya was rarely woken up by Diona pinching her face.

"Hurry up and get up. How long are you going to hold me?"

Seeing that Nangong Ya had woken up and still didn't let go, Diona glared at her angrily.

Ever since she brought Nangong Ya home, there had not been a single morning when she wasn't held like this, unable to move.

"Um... Good morning~"

Nangong Ya then let go of Diona, sat up and stretched comfortably.

"Let's go, go wash up quickly."

"Ah."

At Diona's urging, Nangong Ya followed her to wash up.

When I returned to the living room, I happened to see Duraf and Olaf walking out of the kitchen, each carrying a pot.

"Haha, I remember that you, Xiaoya, are going back to Liyue today, so I made a pot of pork porridge to send you off. I hope you like it."

"Here is a pot of steamed buns. I bought them from a Liyue chef who lives in Mondstadt yesterday. They are not very good, but I hope you don't mind."

Duraf and Olaf put the pot on the dining table together.

As the lid of the pot was opened, the rich aroma of the meat porridge wafted into Nangong Ya's nose.

As for the other pot, since they didn't have special tools to steam buns, they could only add a wooden partition in the pot, pour water under the partition, and place the buns on top, a total of 6.

"It smells so good...thank you Uncle Duraf and Uncle Olaf!"

Nangong Ya thanked them with some emotion. After all, she had been living and eating for free at Diona's house all this time, and had done nothing except accompanying Diona to and from get off work. However, they still welcomed her.

She thought about paying a morra after selling the blackback bass last time, but was rejected by both Diona and Durav.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take a seat to eat. Only when you are full can you start your journey."

Then everyone sat down and had meat buns and meat porridge one by one.

After dinner, it was time for Diona to go to work. She secretly pulled Nangong Ya out of the door and handed her a pendant.

"what is this?"

Nangong Ya took the pendant curiously and found that at the end of the pendant was a bottle often used to hold elemental nectar, but this time it was filled with clear water.

"This is the water from the spring in Qingquan Town. A few days ago, I had a dream and the spirit in the spring asked me to give it to you, and also said thank you for taking care of me these days."

Diona pointed in the direction of the spring and explained.

"...Hey, okay, thank you Diona!"

Nangong Ya was puzzled for a moment, then happily took the pendant.

She didn't think what Diona said was true. After all, she didn't know the spring elf at all. She thought Diona was just making up an excuse because she was embarrassed.

After all, the only intersection between him and the fountain spirit was that he used his own wine to contaminate the wine mixed by Diona, who was blessed by the fountain spirit.

"Humph, why are you thanking me? It's not my gift."

Diona snorted, turned around and walked out of Qingquan Town.

"I'm going to work. You can wait for the travelers to pick you up at home."

After saying that, Diona left alone.

Nangong Ya put the pendant around her neck and let the bottle of spring water hang on her chest, then returned to Diona's house to wait for Ying, Paimon and the others.

After all, to go to Liyue, one has to pass through Qingquan Town, so it is naturally impossible for Nangong Ya to go to Mondstadt to find them. Nangong Ya also said goodbye to Eula, Klee and others yesterday.

While waiting, the enthusiastic Duraf took out large and small bags and stuffed them into Nangong Ya's pockets, saying that they were some specialties of Qingquan Town, and asked her to take them back for the folks in Liyue to taste. It would be fine as long as she could say they were produced in Qingquan Town.

Nangong Ya guessed that it should be some dried meat or something like that.

When Xiangling came before, Nangong Ya knew that Duraf wanted to spread the reputation of Qingquan Town's meat products to Liyue, so she did not refuse his gift.

At the same time, I was struggling with whether to let him use a more explosive slogan...

For example, "Even the Liyue Rock God loves to eat the meat from Qingquan Town!"

After all, since she brought the meat back, it was not difficult to get Zhongli to have a taste of it.

But after thinking about it, she decided to give up. She was afraid that Dulav would be beaten by Liyue’s Emperor fans for misusing the Emperor’s title.

After waiting for a while in Qingquan Town, Ying and Paimeng finally showed up.

After saying goodbye to Duraf and the others, Nangong Ya followed Ying and the others on the journey to Liyue.

"Traveler, why don't we go back and say goodbye to everyone in the Knights before we leave..."

When he learned that the bags on Nangong Ya were all farewell gifts from Duraf and others, Paimon made a proposal to Ying with drooling eyes.

"You need to go by yourself."

Ying rolled her eyes at Paimeng, then ignored him and continued on her way.

Seeing this, Paimon had no choice but to follow in frustration.

In this way, the three of them walked and played, passing by the Dawn Winery along the way.

"Would it be bad for us to do this..."

Ying took the grapes that Nangong Ya and Paimeng had picked secretly, but her conscience made her unable to eat them, so she only dared to put one grape in her mouth at a time and didn't dare to put more.

"It's nothing. In fact, when we were picking the fruits, Mr. Lu was watching us. But he didn't stop us. He must have acquiesced."

Nangong Ya explained while eating grapes.

"Eh? Master Diluk was watching us just now? Fortunately, Paimon didn't pick too many!"

Paimon, who was sitting on Ying's shoulder holding a bunch of grapes, was surprised and then relieved. He continued to pick a grape and put it to his mouth and started to eat it.

Along the way, we encountered a few blind ice slimes, and there happened to be a river next to them.

This aroused Nangong Ya's curiosity. She wanted to know whether ice slime could be frozen...

So she grabbed an ice slime and pushed it into the river with brute force.

Not long after, the river water froze in a circle, and this circle happened to wrap around the ice slime, causing the ice slime to be trapped in this shell that did not belong to it and unable to get out. It took a while before it absorbed the layer of ice and regained its ability to move.

Nangong Ya also came to the conclusion that under certain conditions, ice slime can be frozen for a period of time!

Continuing forward, Nangong Ya and the others soon arrived near the stone gate.

From here you will enter the territory of Liyue, and there are some stalls for passing merchants and travelers to rest, most of which sell tea.

“…Hiss! This is bad!”

As soon as they entered Liyue, Ying suddenly remembered something and looked anxious.

"What's wrong, Sister Ying?"

"I forgot to take the purse I hid under my pillow when I went out today! It contains the Mora I earned from selling monster materials!"

Ying explained hurriedly.

In order to feed Paimon and not starve herself, she now pays more and more attention to Mora.

"Ah? Did you forget to take all the Moras? Travelers, let's go back!"

Paimeng was also startled and hurriedly urged Ying, after all, that was her guarantee of food.

"But we have already arrived in Liyue..."

Nangong Ya was a little speechless. How could someone forget to bring their purse when traveling?

"It's okay, Xiaoya, you wait here for us, we'll be back soon!"

Ying said as she pulled Paimeng up and ran towards the teleportation anchor point next to the stone gate road.

Nangong Ya only saw a flash of blue light, and Ying and Paimeng disappeared.

"Wait, teleport...?"

"Can you really use the teleportation anchor?"
