Genshin Impact: Our journey will never end

Paimon and Ying walked to a lantern and looked up.

There is a note on the lantern: Juanjuan misses her hometown, the country is full of flowers, the visitor asks why, she goes to the ninth heaven to pursue her dream.

Judging from the style, it is a poem from Liyue.

Just then, Timmy came over and said, "I just saw this too. Liyue's poems are sometimes hard to understand."

Noelle thought about it carefully, dream...sky...could it be that it refers to some kind of bird?

Paimon covered his head, thought about it, and explained: "The general meaning is that this thing is very close to home, and once it opens, it will be a large area and fly very high. Is that right?"

After hearing Paimon's clear and concise answer, Noelle opened her mouth wide. It seemed that she had not studied it enough.

Hearing Noelle's praise, Paimon's face turned red: "It's... not that amazing. I'll understand these things after going to Liyue a few times."

Mika also had some understanding of what Paimon said. When he followed the commander on field trips, he was unconsciously influenced by the local customs and practices.

"But then again, what exactly is this riddle about?"

Noelle: "Flying high and far... I think of dandelions."

After all, in the eyes of the Mond people, dandelions can convey their thoughts.

“But are we thinking too simply? After all, this seems like a Liyue-style poem puzzle. Are there similar plants in Liyue? What do you think, Traveler?”

Ying still agrees with Dandelion's answer, but what is important is love!

"So that's how it is. Just like Mr. Wendy said, if you want to explain it reasonably and gain some insights from the poem, then the answer may not be that important."

【Wendy: Hey! This is freedom】

[Paimon: You have successfully turned freedom into a waste of time]

[Jin: Lord Barbatos promised to come back and deal with some matters in Mondstadt, but...]

[Wendy: It’s all the old man’s fault. He wouldn’t let me leave. Look, he was pulling my sleeves and I couldn’t beat him. Woo, wow, poor Wendy. Because the old man was holding her back and wouldn’t let her leave, she was so angry that she broke down and cried and made a fuss. Woo, wow, so pitiful]

[Hu Tao: Zhongli has been at the Hall of Rebirth. He hasn’t been out in the past few days. Your excuse is useless.]

[Yae Miko: The most important thing is that they actually used my lines! And they were even making fun of themselves!]

[Great Compassion Tree King: This is very Barbatos. Compared to before, he has restrained himself a lot.]

[Barbara (red eyes): Lord Ba-Ba-To-Si! When will you come back? Hehehehe]

[Wendy: Wait a minute, I'll be back soon]

[Alice: Hey! Where did the Soul Palace Guardian come from! ]

[Ying: What a scary feeling. Why does Barbara with red eyes look like a yandere? Just like the tone of Shen He at the beginning]

[Ningguang: Actually, we can also do this kind of activity privately]

[System: After the inventory is over, this system will personally ask questions! There will be prizes for correct answers! There are all kinds of exercises, life-saving artifacts, and magical tools, including Durex! ]

...

"Oh, it looks like everyone has finished browsing. Come on, come on, everyone, look over here. Wendy and I have just selected all the riddles written by everyone, and added some of our own to the mix. We will randomly draw them later."

"For the selected poem riddle, the question setter should remember to announce the correct answer at the end. The person who answered the question correctly will get one point. If no one can answer it, the question setter will get one point. Isn't that fair?"

"If there are no other questions, I'll start drawing questions."

Mika muttered in his mind: I hope to get some answers that I know. No, is it a quick response? Should I raise my hand quickly?

Paimeng was full of anticipation, hoping that his topic would also be selected.

"First question, let me see... Oh, this poem and word puzzle are both quite interesting - [Square like a cake, sprinkled with pepper and sesame seeds; one by one, the more you eat, the smarter your brain becomes."

Paimeng exclaimed, "This is what Xingqiu wrote!"

[Chongyun: When Hu Tao said something very interesting, I knew it was Xingqiu’s.]

[Xingqiu: Thank you for your praise]

[Paimon: The handwriting is just too ugly]

【Xingqiu: ….】

[Hu Tao: Xingqiu, practice calligraphy more when you have time. Everyone in Liyue knows that the second young lady of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce has a good handwriting.]

[Qiqi: Xingqiu, come on!]

[Yaejinko: Mr. Makudama, there are also many people here at Inazuma who complain about your handwriting]

【Xingqiu: Uh…definitely, definitely】

[Kaeya: The lady with the lower horns should be a pure water spirit, right? ]

[Cole: How did Mr. Kaia know? ]

[Kaeya: I am also a regular guest. Pure water elves usually have blue eyes that glow! This is something other creatures don’t have.]

[Diona: Although what you said makes sense, my intuition tells me that I know her]

...

"It's pizza! The answer is pizza!" Paimon blurted out without even thinking.

"Bubu - even if the person who asked the question didn't show up, I know the answer is wrong. How can pizza make people smarter? And I remember this exotic dish is round, right? Just like Mora meat." Walnut commented online.

Paimon still insisted on explaining: "But... eating pizza will make you happy, and when you are happy, you can think more smoothly..."

Ying shook her head lovingly, telling Paimon not to be too anxious.

"Okay, I admit I was too anxious."

Noelle thought: Could it be some other dish? No, the riddle is not that simple, it can make people smarter...

Paimon said dejectedly, "I should have read more books earlier. They would have come in handy at a time like this..."

Hearing Paimon talking about books, Ying looked at Paimon and told her the answer at the same time.

The book is square and has words of different sizes on it. You will become smarter after reading it!

"It's [book]! The answer is [book]!" Paimon answered affirmatively!

[Paimon: As expected, I am still very smart! ]

[Ying: Your intelligent Paimon form hasn't appeared for a long time]

[Paimon: Since she doesn't need to use her brain, I let her go to sleep.]

[Ye Lan: This little thing is very smart. No one can figure out how to use the Taiwei Plate, but she knows.]

[Kaeya: Paimon: Sigh, if I hadn't reminded you immediately, you would have died right there. This team would have disbanded without me.]

[Mona: If Paimon was the ruler of time, then she should have been slowing down the passage of time, otherwise she would have died in it, which is why she was so exhausted later.]

[Coral Palace Xinhai: Paimon’s identity is very mysterious to us, but to travelers, she is the best partner, so we should not guess too much]

[Paimon: Hey! That was just a video. It never happened in real life. So, Paimon knows nothing.]

[Funina: Paimon is also an outstanding actor, but what makes me most sad is that Mr. Seno was not invited to this event]

【Cole: ……】

[Tinari:...]

[El Haisen: The senior disciplinary officer is busy with important matters and cannot attend the event]

[Sino: Actually I can do it…]

[Wulang: Although it is a poetry conference, Mr. Wendy’s main theme is elegance and uninhibitedness, while Master Hu’s is easy to understand.]

[Paimeng: horizontal banner: Appealing to both the refined and the popular! ]

...

Xingqiu smiled slightly. This was his most proud work, yet it was guessed so quickly.

Seeing that Xingqiu did not object, Pai Meng gained one point in this round.

Wendy: "Then I'll choose the second question - [Above the clouds, among the gloomy snow, a man stands alone on the cold platform, all the saints and sages are poor and humble...] It looks like a Liyue poem riddle."

“Ah! That’s…” Noelle seemed to have thought of something but did not answer directly.

Mika followed closely behind and raised his hand to answer, but seeing that the other party was willing to answer the question, they both fell silent.

Paimon looked at them carefully. Their reaction seemed like they had discussed the riddle before. It seemed like they were talking about a plant that lived in a high and cold place.

"Let Mika speak for you. You are a knight of the Knights of Favonius, representing all of us in Mondstadt."

“No, no, no, how can this be so embarrassing? It was Noelle who came up with it first. You should say it.”

The two of them were humble to each other

Noelle herself didn't think that what she thought was necessarily correct, especially since Mika was the first to get the chance to answer.

Wendy: "It's a nice sight to see everyone so humble in the arena. Why don't you two tell us your answers? If they are correct, you will each get one point."

Mika said shyly, "Well... then, Senior Noelle..."

"Well, our answer is - Cecilia Flower!"

Wendy commented: "It sounds like the correct answer. This flower that blooms high up is given a beautiful meaning by people. It is also the "Flower of the Wind" in the hearts of many people."

After waiting for a while, the person who set the question did not come out to announce the answer, which means this is not the correct answer.

Mika was a little disappointed. Was he wrong? Could it be a plant from Liyue?

Xingqiu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is it [Pure Heart]? This poem gives people the impression of being noble and aloof."

Just then, a woman in a long skirt and white silk came over. What was different from ordinary people was that she had sparkling blue eyes.

"Yes, this is the question I asked, and the answer is pure heart. However, after listening to the host's description just now, I remembered that I had read about Cecilia in a book before, and it is indeed a noble flower that fits the description. Therefore, I agree with the answers of the two Mond friends."

Since the person who set the question said so, Wendy followed the rules of the competition and each of the three answerers got one point!

Soon we came to the third question

Hu Tao looked at the words on the note and fell into deep thought. Although the handwriting was much better than Xingqiu's, why did it seem so vague?

"[What has no wings but can fly, and hangs in the air without fear of getting tired; but has a belly full of Mora, and sinks into the sea with a gurgling sound and cannot be fished out.]"

[Kaeya: Is this Paimon? ]

【Xiangling: That’s right, it’s Paimon! 】

[Fluorescent: +1]

[Nashida: This should be a brain teaser. Although the title can be seen as Paimon, it is possible that Paimon was not thinking about himself at the time.]

[Paimon: There is no Mora in Paimon's belly! According to my own inference, this should be the Qun Yu Pavilion! ]

[Ningguang: Poof! What!]

[Beidou: You actually surprised Ningguang, Paimon you are really good]

[Paimon: Look, the Jade Pavilion is floating in the air with the help of the Floating Stone. A machine is certainly not afraid of fatigue. The decorations on the Jade Pavilion were all custom-made by Mora. When Ningguang smashed the Jade Pavilion, she couldn't get it out! ]

【Keqing: Whatever you say is correct! 】

[Ningguang: The Jade Pavilion is just a decoration, not a weapon! ]

[Alice: In the previous book, you used the Jade Pavilion to smash the Ruotu Dragon King, but you didn’t feel sorry at all.]

【Xiangling: I can testify to this! I was at the scene, and Lady Ningguang didn't even think twice before smashing everything down!】

[Navia: Maybe one day, the Jade Pavilion will be taken to Sky Island by Ying to punish the Heavenly Justice.]

【Ying: That’s not the case…】

[Kamisato Ayaka: If that Lord Tianquan was present, he would probably faint from anger, right?]

[Hu Tao: Someone come and protect the emperor! Tian Quan was murdered, take action... ahem, block the entire place! Don't let any suspect go]

...

Seeing that no one spoke, Paimeng thought that the questions he had asked were too difficult.

"That's not the case. Rather, it's so simple that we can't believe it."

Paimon: "No way? Then tell me what the answer to my riddle is."

Chongyun said uncertainly: "The answer... is [Paimeng], right?"

Paimon nodded, then looked surprised again.

"It's [Paimon]."

"It's [Paimon]."

"I think it's Paimon..."

"Actually, I also..."

Paimon saw that everyone was talking about him, and stamped his feet angrily: "That's not right! No matter how you think about it, it's not right! Why do everyone think it's me!"

Xingqiu asked, "Paimon, do you have wings behind you?"

Paimon looked behind him and shook his unintelligent head.

"Paimon keeps floating and doesn't seem to feel tired at all."

"Paimon is a big eater. He must have cost the traveler a lot of Mora."

"I heard from the seniors of the Knights that Paimon was rescued from the sea by a traveler. This means that Paimon can't swim, and he sank into the sea to be rescued..."

"Gulp gulp..." Paimon cooperated and made a submerged motion. "Wait... Could it be that the answer to the mystery is really me?"

"That's wrong! The answer I wrote is clearly [Qun Yu Pavilion]! The [Qun Yu Pavilion] flying in the sky!"

Xingqiu was a little surprised. "But I think it's not as appropriate as the answer from Paimeng. I can even say that it would be more perfect if we add two more lines to this poem."

Paimon curiously asked how to add it, and Xingqiu said with a smile: "[A good guide is praised by everyone for his eloquence.]"

Paimon's face turned red. "Really... can you really add this sentence?"

Ying came over and said affirmatively: "You deserve it, Paimon, the best partner!"

Hearing that Yingdu recognized him so much, Paimeng danced with excitement.

“Hehehe——Okay! Then I declare that the answer to the riddle is… everyone’s beloved [Paimon]!”

Master Hu announced that the popular Paimon would give one point to all those who answered correctly!
