Chapter 372 Jade Claws Write About the World

When the sun just kissed the red eaves, the subtle fragrance of glazed lilies had already spread over the nine-curve corridor of Yujing Terrace. The moment Ying hugged Xizhi and stepped into the square of Yiyan Palace, a silver-gray fur ball suddenly jumped up like an arrow, passing the sparks scattered by Ningguang's gilded pipe, and landed accurately in Keqing's arms. The tip of the puppet cat's tail brushed the tassels on Yuhengxing's ears, and the crisp sound of the golden bell shattered the morning dew on the lapis lazuli table.

"When we fished this thing out of the thunderstorm, the waves were higher than the Jade Pavilion!" Beidou slammed the wine jar on the surface of the rock crust with his backhand. The crisp sound of the clay sealing the pottery jar bursting startled Xizhi, "Our human thunder wedge hit us so hard that sparks flew everywhere - good guy! There was not even a white mark left!"

At this moment, Ningguang's smoke ring enveloped the stone surface, and a star array emerged in the amber smoke: "No similar rock layers have been found in the Tianheng Mountain mine, and the exploration team of the Layered Rock Abyss will need three days to return." She suddenly tapped the back of Ying's hand with her pipe, "Traveler, the claw mark of the treasure in your arms is much more interesting than the thunder wedge."

“But jokes are jokes.” Ningguang knocked on the lapis lazuli table with her knuckles, scaring away the smoke fish swimming in the air. “The fishermen are not just catching stones, they are also catching unresolved karma.” The afterimage of the star map passed through her gilded eyes. “Since it is the origin of Yuheng Star’s family learning…”

The pipe suddenly pointed at the snow-colored clouds in Keqing's arms, "Why not let this famous traveler and the treasure of Wangsheng Hall be the witnesses?"

"That's fine. I thought so too." Keqing was interrupted by the crisp sound of the collision between her wrist armor and her scabbard: "Three days ago, I checked my grandfather's notes and found an interesting story - in the old days, our ancestors worshipped the Kitchen God, not with a golden body, but with a natural stone as a shrine. Hundreds of years ago, a jade miner accidentally got the magic stone, and on the way he was transporting it, he encountered a mountain torrent..." She stroked the stone surface with her fingertips, and her throat gurgled like a spring in surprise.

"Swallowed by a sea monster?" Beidou interrupted with a laugh, his red headscarf fluttering like a flag in the wind.

The thunder wedge suddenly cut through the morning mist: "The wheel tracks have gone into the clouds, leaving only three blue phoenix feathers. The moon-chasing feast is a rebirth of the ancient Kitchen God ceremony."

Xizhi suddenly turned over to reveal his snowy belly, and hooked Keqing's gilded tassel with his claws. Yuhengxing's cold brows softened suddenly: "Now that the emperor has passed away, the world is ruled by man—" She lightly touched the natural patterns on the stone with the tip of her sword, "It is more important to investigate the truth and carry forward traditions than to offer incense."

Beidou pulled back her red headscarf and tapped her knuckles, polished by the sea breeze, on the clay seal of the pottery jar. "But..." She suddenly raised her eyebrows and smiled, and the wine jar spun out a red silk afterimage in her palm. "Chef Xiangling, you didn't come here to listen to my story about how I fished out the sea-suppressing stone in the thunderstorm, did you?"

The silver-gray fluff that Xizhi had known trembled in the spicy storm and turned into a ball of frightened dandelions that floated onto Keqing's shoulders.

"Sister Beidou is indeed very good at predicting things!" Xiangling clasped her hands together, her eyes dancing with stars like stove fire, "I came here with the travelers this time just to ask for your advice - what do you like to eat the most? Maybe you can give me some new inspiration!" She suddenly turned to Keqing who was sorting documents, and jumped over like a happy deer, "Miss Keqing, aren't you going to investigate the ruins of the Kitchen God? Can you take me with you? Maybe we can find some lost cooking secrets! I promise not to cause any trouble, and I can also help you prepare delicious meals!"

Keqing's hand holding the pen was suspended in mid-air, and the jade bracelet and the compass collided with each other, making crisp sounds. She looked at the rolling clouds at the junction of the sea and sky, and finally touched Xiangling's nose with the wolf hair brush: "Let me make it clear first, if you find anything that has nothing to do with the people's livelihood in Liyue..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl grabbed his sleeve and shook him, scaring away three herring gulls outside the porthole.

"As for the research..." Beidou flicked open the pottery jar of hot sauce, his red headscarf fluttering in the evening breeze like a battle flag, "Why don't we offer sacrifices to our internal organs first?"

She scooped up the pepper sauce that was reflecting the sunset glow, and dragged it on the blue bricks, leaving a trail like a river of lava. "As usual, if you can finish it without changing your expression—"

The spicy aroma suddenly ignited like a beacon fire. The moment Beidou opened the red lacquer pot, Xizhi turned into a dandelion ball and rolled under Ying's cloak, quietly revealing two soft cat ears. The eyes of the chef of Wanmin Hall were brighter than the stove fire: "This spicy taste! The first part is the salty and astringent taste of the foam of Guyun Pavilion, and the middle note is the bitter taste of the pine needles of Liuli Peak..." Before he finished speaking, he was choked and tears came out. Xizhi took the opportunity to take the honey-stained lotus pod from her hair and jumped back to Keqing's lap to wag his tail proudly.

Ningguang lightly picked up the pipe, and the agate-colored slices of ham were covered with hot sauce. The amber smoke transformed into a crane holding a rice ear in its mouth: "The way to the ultimate taste is to be refined, simple, mellow and delicate. Captain Beidou thinks that the ham that has gone through 730 processes can match the heroic spirit of cutting through the waves?"

Xizhi's nose tip rose sharply, and the silver-gray hair brushed across the gilded edge of the food box. Keqing's scabbard suddenly swung horizontally, and the lightning net caught the sneaking hair ball: "If you want to accompany us for the inspection--" The wolf hair tip touched Xiangling's nose tip, spreading cinnabar, "You need three plates of morning dew crispy shrimp balls."

"Deal!" The laughter startled the birds under the eaves. Xizhi's pupils suddenly shrank into thin lines, and the golden bell on the tip of his tail deliberately smashed the outline of the contract formed by the smoke ring. The camera forever freezes this scene - the puppet cat's paws pressed the shrimp ball necklace, and the tail was wrapped with a thunder wedge tassel, just like the new judge of Liyue's eclipse world.

When the dusk melts gold, the ancient knowledge flows into a ball of starlight. The claw marks on the ancient rock lines meander out a totem of "fish and sheep stewing together", just like the true meaning of taste recorded in the fragments of "Food Records". The flaming flower wine poured by the Big Dipper burns into a red stream, and the hair ball jumps into the iron pot, startling the rice crust and spewing out the lost "slow simmering" recipe.

When the moonlight spread over the eaves, the rock shell showed the secret pattern of the Hall of Rebirth. The tip of Xizhi's tail unconsciously drew the contract, just like the blue-clothed girl who traveled all over Liyue four hundred years ago, writing the fireworks of the world into the crystal-clear blood of stone amber. A satisfied snoring sound came from under the fluorescent cloak, and half of the hidden honey-stained lotus pod was still grasped between her claws.
