Travel through Teyvat and spend your life with Linghua

Meanwhile, on the other side, Old Ge, who was fishing, also noticed what was happening. He slowly put down his fishing rod, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the two men with envy and amazement, muttering to himself, "This luck is astonishing! I remember the last time I caught a fish this big was last time."

An elderly man nearby couldn't help but sigh, "Back then, when I first started fishing, I was just as lucky. Back then, I'd land a big fish every few days! While it might not have been as big as this one, it was still big enough to be proud of and show off everywhere. It was from that time that I became deeply obsessed with fishing. Time flies, and over 30 years have already passed in the blink of an eye."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but complain, "This is too unfair! I've been fishing for such a long time, and I haven't even seen a fish with slightly larger scales."

Seeing this, Old Ge immediately seized the opportunity to mock him, "Hmph, what you lack is technique. You still need to learn more from me. So, just be my assistant for a few days, and when I feel like it, I'll teach you a few moves."

Xinyang was so excited that his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Wow! This fish is so big! It's amazing!"

"Of course I don't even see who caught it!" Linghua smiled smugly, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked with a sly smile, "By the way, you just said you wanted to change positions, so do you have to change the fish you caught too?"

Xinyang perked up immediately upon hearing this. He stared intently at the giant pufferfish in front of him, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Switch! Those little fish are all yours," he replied impatiently.

Seeing this, Linghua was secretly delighted, but she kept a straight face. She smiled softly and said gently, "Hehe, I see you don't have the energy anymore. Let's stop fishing here today."

Xinyang didn't think much of it and nodded in agreement. "Okay, let's stop here for today. We'll have this fish for lunch today," he said, looking away from the pufferfish.

However, at this moment, Linghua finally couldn't help herself. She smiled with a look of triumph and burst into laughter. "Haha, you lose!" she announced triumphantly.

Xinyang was stunned for a moment. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What did you lose?" Obviously, he had completely forgotten the previous game between him and Linghua.

"It's a competition! Aren't we competing to see who catches more fish? You just said you want to change positions and exchange the fish you caught, which means you admit that you lose. Besides, it's obvious that I caught more fish than you!" Linghua explained.

Xinyang then remembered the competition. He scratched his head awkwardly and smiled sheepishly. "Oh, well, you win. What do you want to ask for?" he asked helplessly.

Linghua blinked, thought for a moment and replied: "Emmm, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when I think about it later." After that, she smiled happily again. This victory made her particularly satisfied.

Xinyang picked up the half-man-sized fish and was about to leave. Linghua reached out to stop Xinyang and said, "Are you going back like this?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" Xinyang asked doubtfully.

"This fish is so ugly, you'd better put it in the bag and take it back." Linghua said as she took out the bag and handed it to Xinyang.

Xin Yang quickly waved his hands and refused, "No, no, a fish this big has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It must not be put into a sack, and it can't go home directly. I have to walk around the house a few more times and then perform a ritual to eliminate the fish's resentment, otherwise something terrible will happen at night."

Linghua scratched her head, showing a look of confusion, and asked, "Why?"

Xin Yang explained seriously, "This is a large fish that has absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If we don't deal with its resentment properly, it might attract some unclean things at night. So we must be careful."

After hearing this, although Linghua was still a little confused, she also knew that Xinyang was more knowledgeable about these strange things, so she nodded in agreement.

The two of them took a detour and arrived at Konda Village.

The villagers of Gantian Village saw Xinyang carrying such a big fish from afar, and they all exclaimed in admiration as they passed by:

"What a big fish! Did you catch it?"

Xinyang heard the praise and responded with a playful smile: "Yes, yes, I caught it. It weighs over 20 kilograms!"

"There's a pothole ahead, be careful!" someone warned.

However, Xinyang was immersed in his own joy, his mind full of others' praise for his catching a big fish, and he didn't take the reminder seriously at all. He kept muttering, "That's right, I caught it, it's over 20 kilograms!" As expected, Xinyang fell hard.

Despite this, the fall did not affect Xinyang's excitement over catching a big fish. Along the way, he tirelessly showed off his catch to his fellow villagers.

Linghua had been carefully observing Xinyang's every move. She noticed that apart from showing off, Xinyang hadn't made any other suspicious moves, and it didn't seem like she was going to do anything. Linghua thought about it and became more certain of her own thoughts - Xinyang was just showing off, there was nothing to be afraid of.

After leaving Konda Village, Xinyang actually wanted to continue walking towards Inazuma Castle. However, Linghua's stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

Under Linghua's strong objection, Xinyang had to give up this idea and had to follow Linghua back to Kamisato House.

After returning to Kamisato's house, Xinyang couldn't wait to start cooking the giant pufferfish. He rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes sparkling.

Thomas on the side calmly pointed out: "Kamiyashiki doesn't have such a big pot to cook this fish. If we want to cook it, we can only cut it into small pieces, but even so, we will definitely not be able to finish such a big fish. In my opinion, we might as well invite more friends and have a meal together." He suggested with a smile.

Ayato listened and nodded in agreement. This was a good idea. It would allow more people to share this delicious food and add to the joyful atmosphere.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. You can think about which friends to invite and arrange the details of the dinner."

After giving his instructions, Ayato returned to the study, leaving the three people in the courtyard to discuss the invitation list, thinking about which friends would like to eat fish and which friends would bring more fun. At the same time, they also discussed how to prepare the dinner, including the combination of dishes and the layout of the venue.

Xin Yang said excitedly, "We can make some traditional Inazuma cuisine, like sushi, sashimi, and so on. Paired with my Liyue cuisine, and add some desserts and fruit, it will definitely be a feast!" Ling Hua also smiled and nodded, "That's right. We can also prepare some games or activities so that everyone can have fun while enjoying the food."
