Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

In the blink of an eye, Ying and Paimon returned to Liyue.

Then, the salty and spicey smell of the sea in the air was instantly replaced by the tempting aroma of food.

"What a nice smell!" Paimeng sniffed hard, looking very happy, and then shouted loudly: "Su Xun, we are back!"

At this time, in the courtyard of the Su Mansion.

Guizhong and Ganyu were chatting with Venti and Xiao, Raiden Mei was holding Shenhe's hand and sitting quietly listening, while Miyu Chiyo was busy in the kitchen with Su Xun.

Hearing Paimon's voice, everyone in the courtyard turned around and smiled.

Wendy waved her hand and said with a smile, "Hi! Ying, Paimeng, you're back just in time. Su Xun is preparing a feast."

Xiao nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Eh? Wendy? And... Xiao?! Why are you here?"

Ying and Paimon looked at Wendy and Xiao in surprise, their eyes full of confusion.

They were both very surprised that these two unrelated people appeared here at the same time.

Wendy smiled and said, "The Great Sage who conquers demons wants your help with something. It's about the abnormal situation in the Layered Rock Abyss..."

Next, Venti briefly told Ying and Paimon about Xiao’s request for help.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"The Lava Chasm, I seem to have an impression of it." Paimon rubbed his hands, his eyes flickering with curiosity, "But I only heard that some accidents happened there and it was sealed off by the Liyue Seven Stars, and no one was allowed to enter. I didn't expect that abnormal conditions would occur again now."

Xiao pursed his lips, then looked at Ying. His eyes showed no emotion, but he said in a serious tone, "Traveler, the anomalies in the Layered Abyss this time are more complicated than before. I am afraid that I cannot handle all the changes alone. I hope you can come with me."

Ying smiled slightly: "In fact, my husband can help you alone, but since the Demon-Subduing Great Sage personally invited me, I will naturally not miss this adventure."

Paimon nodded excitedly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for adventure: "Yes, yes, we are travelers, and exploring the unknown is our specialty!"

Wendy looked at the two people eager to try and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you are really born adventurers."

At this time, Su Xun and Yu Chiyo walked out of the kitchen, with plates of freshly cooked dishes floating behind them, steaming and filled with fragrance.

Su Xun heard the conversation in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are having a lively chat. I will talk about the details of the Layered Rock Abyss after dinner. Now, try my cooking first."

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled across the courtyard, casting a layer of golden color.

Everyone sat around the table, which was filled with delicious dishes.

Everyone started eating and chatting, and laughter echoed in the courtyard.

Xiao was a little uncomfortable at first, but under the influence of everyone's enthusiastic atmosphere, he gradually relaxed.

However, faced with the delicious food on the table, he seemed a little at a loss as to how to start.

After all, he is an immortal and a yaksha, and it is normal for him to eat wind and drink dew.

But in this lively atmosphere, he didn't want to appear too out of place, so he picked up the chopsticks.

Fortunately, among these dishes there was his favorite almond tofu.

Xiao gently picked up a piece of almond tofu and put it into his mouth. The delicate and smooth taste instantly spread on the tip of his tongue. The familiar yet more delicious taste than before made his eyes widen slightly.

This taste... is surprisingly similar to the mortal "sweet dream" he devoured when he was forced to be an accomplice of the evil demon!

Xiao couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart, and was surprised that the almond tofu made by Su Xun had such a wonderful taste.

It was like opening a door deep in his memory, and the dark past that he had tried so hard to suppress began to loosen up at that moment.

Su Xun noticed Xiao's strange behavior and asked softly, "Great Sage Conquering the Demons, do you like this almond tofu?"

Xiao nodded slightly, "Well, it tastes great." His voice was still cold, but the slight fluctuation in his eyes did not escape Su Xun's eyes.

Su Xun smiled slightly. Knowing the plot, he naturally knew what kind of food Xiao liked to eat, so this time he could cater to his taste.

With his extraordinary cooking skills, the almond tofu he makes is definitely more authentic than the one made by Yan Xiao at Wangshu Inn.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was still lively. Paimeng had his mouth full and kept praising Su Xun's cooking skills.

Wendy shared interesting stories about Mond with everyone while eating, and took a sip from her wine glass from time to time.

After eating and drinking, everyone's topic returned to the anomaly in the Layered Chasm.

After some discussion, Su Xun and Ying decided to go to the Chasm together tomorrow to assist Xiao in investigating the abnormal situation there.

Gui Zhong and the other girls were not overly worried about their safety, or wanted to go together. After all, the two were extremely powerful, and they had the Demon-Subduing Great Sage with them.

However, they still had to give some reminders and ask them to be careful.

Time passed slowly, the night deepened, the bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery light, shrouding the Su Mansion in tranquility.

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, everyone felt a little tipsy and lazy.

Wendy stayed in the guest room of the Su Mansion tonight and planned to return to Mondstadt tomorrow.

And Xiao returned to Wangshu Inn.

Although Su Xun and others tried to persuade him to stay at the Su Mansion for one night, Xiao still declined.

For him, Wangshu Inn is the place where he is used to staying. The familiar atmosphere there can calm his mind and adjust his state.

In the room, Su Xun and Ying were lying on the luxurious big bed, snuggling up to each other.

After not seeing each other for a month, tonight Miyu Chiyo and Raiden Mei both tacitly gave Su Xun to Ying.

Shen He was already pregnant, so it was not appropriate for her to have sex. On the surface, she and Su Xun were just siblings, so there was naturally no reason for her to sleep with Su Xun. She went back to her rooms with Gan Yu and Paimeng to rest.

Su Xun gently stroked Ying's hair and kissed her forehead, "Have you missed me in this month?"

Ying hugged Su Xun tightly, raised her head, her eyes bright as stars, "Well, I think about it every day. Although Xumi is interesting, I always feel that something is missing without you by my side."

Feeling his wife's fiery gaze and soft body, Su Xun hugged her tighter, lowered his head, put his nose against hers, and gently brushed his lips against hers, whispering, "Me too, when you're not around, everything I do is a little less interesting."

Ying pouted her rosy lips slightly and said angrily, "I don't believe it. How can you feel boring when you have sisters with you?"

Although she said this, there was a sweet smile on her lips.

"Haha, if you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you." Su Xun said as he deepened the kiss. His hands also began to become restless, slowly wandering on Ying's back, feeling the warmth of her skin.

Ying responded to his enthusiasm with a moan, and for a moment, the room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

After a long while, they parted their lips, both of them were a little out of breath.

Ying's face flushed, her eyes full of love and confusion.

Su Xun looked at her seductive appearance and whispered in her ear: "Look, only you can make my heart beat so fast."

Ying lightly hit his chest and said coquettishly, "You only know how to say sweet words."
