Genshin Impact: Learning makes me stronger

Su Xun shrugged, and found a flat grassland beside the mountain stream with Ying and Paimon to sit down and wait.

Paimon pulled the grass around him out of boredom, muttering, "Don't let them get lost in the woods. If they don't find the food, we'll have to go look for them."

Ying snuggled in Su Xun's arms, resting her head on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "I think that even if you, Paimon, get lost, the two of them won't get lost."

"What! I won't get lost! I'm the best guide in Teyvat!" Paimon retorted with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Really? Then who was it that took me around in circles in the wild and almost made me lose my direction?" Ying said with a mischievous smile.

Paimeng's face turned red, and her momentum suddenly weakened. She poked her two index fingers at each other and whispered, "That... that was just an accident. It won't happen again in the future!"

While Paimon was still defending his "guiding ability", Yae Shinko and Funina had already traveled some distance through the mountains and forests.

Although Funina was a little unconvinced at first, she was soon attracted by all kinds of new things in the mountains and forests.

"What kind of plant is this? It looks so special." Funina asked, pointing to a plant with purple leaves and fuzzy edges.

Yae Shenzi took a look and chuckled, "This is purple velvet grass. It can't be eaten directly, but it's a very good medicinal material."

"Oh..." When Funina saw that Yae Shenzi immediately identified the plant that she didn't recognize, she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

Feeling somewhat unconvinced, she stopped talking and just quickened her pace, hoping to gain back a advantage in finding the ingredients.

Yae Shinko looked at Furninna's back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he followed behind slowly.

Funina looked around and suddenly her eyes lit up. She found a fruit tree in front of her, with many red fruits hanging on the tree.

She ran over excitedly and reached out to pick it, but was stopped by Yae Shinko.

"Don't move. Although this fruit looks tempting, it would be bad if it is poisonous. In the wild, you can't judge whether food is edible based on its appearance alone." Yae Shinko said lightly.

Funina was startled and quickly retracted her hand, a little scared: "Okay...Okay."

Yae Shinko glanced at Funina, then looked around and found some fruit cores that had been eaten by small animals in the grass under the tree.

So she said to Funina: "You see, edible fruits are usually eaten by animals. We can choose fruits with traces of animals gnawing on them. This is safer."

As she spoke, she gently waved her right hand, and the magical power wrapped around a few fruits and fell down, and then she handed them to Funina.

Furninna blinked and coughed softly, "Ahem... I can pick them myself, you can keep them."

After saying that, she controlled the phantom orb, and as the water elemental power surged, she gently lifted up a few fruits and dropped them into her palm.

Yae God Son didn't say anything when he saw this, but just smiled faintly.

The two continued their search, and in this forest, Yae Shenzi, with his rich knowledge of the wild, found several edible wild vegetables.

Funina found a nest of pheasant eggs in a relatively hidden valley. She carefully put the eggs away with a proud smile on her face. She finally achieved her own results in this "food search competition".

The two then found some edible game and decided to return the same way they came.

On the road, Funina walked happily in front, jumping for joy like a child. Yae Shinko walked slowly behind, looking at Funina's back with his eyes slightly narrowed.

As they walked, Yae Shinko opened her lips and suddenly asked, "Funina, do you like my husband?"

Funina's steps suddenly stopped, her body instantly became stiff, and the smile on her face froze.

She turned around abruptly, with a hint of shame and anger in her eyes: "Son of God, you...what nonsense are you talking about?!"

The corners of Yae Shenzi's mouth curled up slightly with a meaningful arc, "Nonsense? Then why did I find that you care about him so much today, sometimes even more than me?"

A trace of panic flashed across Funina's face, and she stammered to defend herself, "I... I just care about you as a friend, there's no... there's no other meaning."

Yae Shenzi smiled gently and said, "My husband is so outstanding, it's not strange to like him, Funina, you don't have to deny it."

Furninna's face flushed red and she bit her lower lip tightly.

She did have a subtle feeling for Su Xun, but she didn't know what that feeling was. It was just that in the process of getting along with him, she was often attracted by his handsome face and calm and powerful temperament.

Now that it was pointed out so bluntly by the Eightfold Divine Son, she was a little at a loss as to what to do.

Is this what you like?

No... absolutely not! This is just appreciation between good friends.

Funina kept reminding herself in her heart, trying to calm herself down.

"I am the water god of Fontaine! I shoulder the heavy responsibility of Fontaine, how can I have the leisure to talk about love affairs. Son of God, please stop making random guesses. Let's go back quickly. Everyone is waiting for the ingredients to cook." Funina changed the subject, then turned around and quickened her pace to hurry back.

Yae Shinko looked at Furninna's hurriedly leaving back, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he followed her.

Back at the mountain stream, Su Xun, Ying and Paimeng were sitting on the grass chatting. Seeing Yae Shenzi and Funina returning, Paimeng jumped up excitedly: "You're back! Did you find anything delicious?"

Fu Nina showed the pheasant eggs and some wild vegetables in her hand, with panic still on her face. She didn't even dare to look at Su Xun. She just said to Paimeng: "These should be enough for us to have a good lunch."

Yae Shinko put the ingredients he found aside with a smile on his face, his eyes gently moving between Funina and Su Xun, but he said nothing.

Su Xun seemed to sense a strange atmosphere, but he didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and said, "Then I'll take care of these ingredients and start a fire. Let's prepare lunch as soon as possible."

Ying also stood up and said, "I'll help."

With everyone's cooperation, lunch was ready quickly.

The aroma of grilled fish, the fragrance of wild vegetable soup and the unique flavor of pheasant eggs permeate the mountain stream.

Everyone sat together and started to eat. Paimeng had his mouth full and said incoherently, "Hey, it's great to have a super chef like Su Xun. Even in the wild, we can eat such delicious food. It's amazing!"

Furninna said nothing, but just nodded slightly.

Her eyes intentionally or unintentionally avoided someone and she lowered her head to focus on the food.

After Yae Shinko directly pointed out her inner feelings, she didn't know how to face Su Xun.
