Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

At this moment, Paimon asked, "But if the monsters of the Abyss Order are the people that Dain protected back then, then why did Dain become an enemy of the Abyss Order? Also, why... is your brother now standing with the monsters of the Abyss Order?"

Seeing that no conclusion could be reached and only more questions could be raised, Ying shook her head.

"There's too little information; there's no point in thinking about it any further."

Seeing Ying say this, and that she had already held back her tears, Paimon smiled.

"Yes, that's right. Well then—Ying, cheer up! Our journey isn't over yet, it's time to get going! Let's leave this awful place and get back to the sunlit ground. If your brother wants you to 'reach the destination'... fine, then you'll reach it and show him! 'Traveler,' Yuan Yuan-jie, let's go!"

Huiyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that Ying would blame her for not stopping her brother and be angry.

As expected, Ying was still rational and knew that no matter what Huiyuan did, she couldn't stop Kong.

At this moment, Huiyuan said, "However, before that, I have to deal with this statue first."

After the elemental power completely covered the seven-day statue and put it into the Eye of God space, Huiyuan handed it over to Sister Tongzi for processing.

As for the task of dancing in a cheongsam later... let's leave that for now.

Despite being told to cheer up, Hunyuan could still clearly sense Ying's disappointment on the way back to Liyue Harbor.

After reporting the events in the abyss to Gan Yu and the Adventurers' Guild, and receiving the reward, Huiyuan took Ying home and slept.

At 3 a.m. the next day, at the break of dawn, Huiyuan rubbed her eyes and woke up in bed.

He turned on the light, went to another bedroom, and checked on Ying's condition.

Sure enough, she didn't sleep.

Including the day before yesterday, I haven't slept for two days now. It seems my mood still can't calm down.

Ying gazed at the night outside the window, completely oblivious to Huiyuan's expression.

Seeing this, Huiyuan silently withdrew and began to think.

"(This can't go on like this. I need to do something to cheer her up... Think about it, when are people happiest... Right, I'll cook for her. I have experience making egg tarts before, I can just ask the system to buy some ingredients and cooking utensils.)"

Upon entering the kitchen, one finds no modern cooking machines, only the traditional stoves found in ancient times.

But it's okay, things like microwaves are available in the Dust Song Pot.

Rolling up their sleeves, Huiyuan got to work and began bustling about.

Noticing the unusual noises inside the room, Ying's dazed eyes gradually regained their focus.

Turning my head, I saw that the bedroom door had been opened a crack at some point.

"A burglar?"

With such suspicion in mind, Ying stood up warily and walked forward.

The living room was dark and empty, but as we walked further in, we heard unusual noises coming from the kitchen.

All that could be heard was a young girl muttering something...

"Hiss... Why did I have to bring out the microwave? It's out of power... Let's try using lightning element..."

After a series of crackling sounds, the microwave oven started operating.

Looking inside, Ying burst out laughing.

Because Huiyuan's face was covered in cake stains, and she was making strange movements, pointing at the microwave oven.

It turns out that after causing several explosions inside the Chenge Pot, Huiyuan moved the microwave oven out of the messy pot.

At least this time it didn't explode in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?"

With her hands behind her back, Ying revealed a smug expression as she curiously observed Huiyuan and asked a question.

Upon hearing the sound, Huiyuan realized what was happening and looked over.

"Ah, I...I'm making egg tarts..."

Why is your face covered in egg yolk?

"Haha...it must be that the egg has a bad temper...right."

Really?

"Okay, I need help..."

The next second, the microwave oven made a "ding" sound, and a plate of black, unidentified substance popped out.

Seeing that this thing was still emitting lightning element, Ying seemed to feel a little happier.

"Pfft... Egg tarts, right? Give me the recipe, I'll make them. You go wait in the living room."

Huiyuan scratched her head, looking bewildered, and nodded helplessly.

Well, to be honest, even though the egg tarts didn't turn out well, the goal of making Ying happy was achieved.

About ten minutes later, a plate of 16 hot and delicious egg tarts was served.

Looking at all this delicious food, Huiyuan was at a loss for what to eat.

"I'm sorry... Ying, I originally wanted to give it to you, but..."

"It's okay, you just wanted to make me happy, right? You've achieved your goal. Here, eat first."

Seeing this, Huiyuan picked up the egg tart and started eating it.

Ying didn't say much, silently watching the girl in front of her enjoy the egg tart.

Time flowed by, and before she knew it, Ying, engrossed in watching Huiyuan, fell asleep.

Seeing that the other person had fallen asleep, Huiyuan took a blanket and covered them with it, then they both lay down on the table and closed their eyes.

At 11 a.m., Paimon stumbled into the living room and was shocked by what he saw.

Why are Ying and Huiyuan sleeping here, looking completely unconscious?

Why does the table still smell of dessert?

Could it be that...

"Whoa... What's wrong with you two? Is this the legendary dessert murder case!?"

Hearing the noise, Ying woke up and looked at Paimon reproachfully.

"Noisy emergency food... Tell me, how are you going to make up for my lack of sleep? Oh well, I'm hungry anyway, Paimon, go buy me three servings of [Mora Meat]."

"Hey, now? Okay."

By the time Paimon returned from buying Mora meat, Huiyuan had just woken up.

Because of what happened yesterday, Ying has decided to take a few days off and temporarily stop accepting adventure requests.

Huiyuan had nothing to do, so she decided to hang out with Ying.

While strolling through the bustling Feiyunpo area, I came across an antique shop that didn't look very legitimate.

The shop owner is a man named Su Dongxing.

Seeing this, Huiyuan immediately became interested.

You should know one thing: Huiyuan personally traveled to the ancient times of Liyue.

Huiyuan took out a bowl and handed it to Boss Su for appraisal, his face full of confidence.

"How about that? 100% authentic!"

Boss Su put on her glasses, looked at it carefully, and said with disdain, "99% new, no, this is brand new. Girl, are you kidding me? If you're going to fake it, at least be a little more serious, there isn't even a trace of wear and tear."

Upon hearing this, Huiyuan was displeased.

"I bought this from Guili Market, how could it be fake?"

"Hey sis, Guili Town is just a ruin now. You're telling me you bought it from Guili Town? Who would believe that? Hurry up and go, don't bother me."

Scratching his head, Huiyuan sighed helplessly and gave up, leaving.

This is indeed an antique, but it was also made just a few months ago.

So, are newly made bowls from ancient times considered antiques?
