Genshin Impact: The Road to Reversal

"You're welcome. Aren't we friends? I just hope you can remember this friendship when you go back. For me, that's enough." Tianlang chuckled but didn't look back.

"Come on, don't be so sad. It's not like we'll never see each other again. Maybe one day when I'm bored, I can find a way to visit you guys!"

His words diluted the somewhat solemn atmosphere.

Kailin burst out laughing. "Then you better give us a heads up. We don't have that much elemental power to mess with you. Don't paralyze the transportation system."

"Haha, I will." Tianlang forced a smile and said, "Let's hurry up and go. Even though the glacier isn't far away, it will still take a long time to get there."

He took a step forward, pretending to be nonchalant, but after taking a few steps, everyone's stomach, including his own, started growling.

Gululu~

This untimely rumbling sound was particularly clear in the bustling market, instantly breaking the somewhat sad atmosphere.

Tianlang's steps suddenly stopped, his body stiffened, and his ears turned red at a visible speed. He coughed with forced composure, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Mo Yan, Kailin, Zhao Heng and Zixuan were stunned at first, then looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"It seems that we still need to fill our stomachs first." Kailin teased, scratched her head, and rubbed her stomach.

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Well, after all, it was almost noon when we left the abyss."

"Since we're at the market, why not eat something before continuing our journey?" Zixuan suggested, looking around and finally setting her sights on a two-story ancient inn not far away.

"I agree." Mo Yan nodded.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Kailin pushed Mo Yan and Zi Xuan at the same time and walked quickly towards the quaint inn.

Zhao Heng snorted helplessly and took a step forward. Tianlang touched his nose and followed him, but the blush on his face had not yet completely faded.

Two red lanterns hung at the inn's entrance, and a plaque read "Come Again" in bold, powerful Chinese characters. As the heavy curtains were drawn aside, the aroma of food and the bustling sounds of people filled the air.

The shop was doing good business, almost full. The waiter, a towel draped over his shoulder, moved nimbly between the tables and chairs.

"Wow, even though it's morning, aren't there too many people here?" Karen said in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"Doesn't this just prove that this place is very popular?" Tianlang said with a smile, "Let's find a place to sit down first. Hmm... the first floor seems to be full, why don't we go to the second floor?"

Everyone nodded at the same time and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Upstairs, the atmosphere was still bustling. Mo Yan stopped at the stairs and looked around. Suddenly, a figure in the corner caught his attention.

"That is?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Hearing the noise, Karen turned around and asked.

"That... is Rex, right?" He said, gently pointing to the seat in the corner.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a tall man sitting alone by the window in the corner.

That familiar tuxedo, the same face as Rednos, who else could it be but Rexos?

"It's really him!" Kailin exclaimed in a low voice, "Why is he here too?"

"Isn't it normal that the guardian of the glacier appears in a market near the glacier?" Tianlang said calmly with his hands folded.

"So what should we say now? Go over and say hello?" Karen asked with her hands spread out.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone's eyes focused on him, as if to say, "What else?"

Kailin shrank her neck and muttered softly: "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't ask."

Tianlang straightened his collar and headed for the corner first. Mo Yan, Zhao Heng, and Zi Xuan followed closely behind, with Kailin also quickly catching up.

Rex seemed to have noticed their approach a long time ago, but he did not look up and continued to drink his tea slowly.

"What a coincidence, Brother Rex." Tianlang walked to his seat and smiled softly.

Hearing this, he put down his teacup and slowly looked up.

"It's you."

"Yeah, we were just about to look for you." Kailin put her hands on her hips and wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by an elegant shush from the other party.

Rex placed his index finger lightly against his lips, making a gesture of silence, elegantly and naturally.

"Hush, this isn't the place to talk. Please take a seat. I'm sure you're here to satisfy your hunger." Rex's voice was calm, emotionless, and he raised his hand to indicate the empty seat beside him.

Tianlang and the others glanced at each other and sat down as instructed. Meanwhile, the waiter came over to the group.

He smiled gently. "I'm sure you've been waiting anxiously. How about it? What would you like to order?"

The waiter put the menu on the table, and Rex picked it up quickly and briskly and read it through.

The dishes on the menu were dazzling, but just based on the names, he was still confused.

"Tsk, the modern font is still... just based on the name..." He muttered softly, then elegantly closed the menu and looked at the waiter and asked, "Excuse me, do you have any specialties or popular dishes you can recommend?"

Everyone except Tianlang was stunned, especially Mo Yan, because he was sitting next to them and could hear Rex's muttering clearly.

"Modern font? Could it be that Rex doesn't recognize modern Teyvatian writing?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Of course, we have a wide variety of dishes here, all of which are delicious and affordable. Please listen to me and I will tell you more."

He cleared his throat and listed a series of dishes like a treasure:

"Here we have steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, braised chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe, dried meat, sausages, assorted Su pan, smoked chicken tripe, steamed eight-treasure pork, and glutinous rice stuffed duck..."

The waiter spoke at a breakneck speed, listing dozens of dishes in one breath. Kailin was stunned and couldn't help but whisper to Mo Yan, "Oh my goodness, is this just a tongue twister or a name?"

On the other hand, Rex was listening very seriously and with great interest.

"Boiled three kinds of food, stir-fried three kinds of food, braised silver thread, braised dandan, stir-fried white offal, three fresh shark's fin, chestnut chicken! Pan-fried live carp, pressed duck, tube chicken!" The waiter finally finished announcing the dishes, took a breath, and wore a professional and enthusiastic smile on his face. "Sir, what would you like to order?"

Rex tapped his fingers on the table, as if considering it.

"Hmm...Okay, then let's go through all of them."

"Okay, this is for you, okay?" The waiter realized it belatedly, and the professional smile on his face froze instantly, his eyes widened, as if he had heard some fairy tale.

Even everyone showed an expression of amazement at the same time, only Tianlang showed a helpless smile.
