Ever since Huiyuan equipped the Heart of the Wind God, people around her have always felt a sense of warmth from her.

How can I describe this feeling...? No matter what kind of pain you experience, it will slowly heal when you get close to Huiyuan. The warmth you feel when you are healed is like the sunlight at eight or nine in the morning, shining on you.

When I woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Congratulations, host, you have slept for 23.7 hours. It is currently 4:23 PM Teyvat time. The weather in Liyue Harbor is sunny with a temperature of 25.4 degrees Celsius."

After sprang up from the sofa, I greeted the cats and left Chengehu.

The two major cuisines of Liyue, "Licai" and "Yuancai", have been fighting each other for hundreds of years, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

The ultimate representative of "Rin-na" is the "Ruri-tei" restaurant. The owner deliberately opened the restaurant on Feiyunpo to compete head-on with "Shin-getsu-ken," which represents "Tsuki-na."

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry. I'm really hungry."

Huiyuan, walking down the street, started humming the "Feeding Song" because her stomach was empty.

"Meow~ (Hurry to the 'Ruri-tei' to mooch Tadalia's food, I'm starving!)"

Mimi's thoughts reached Huiyuan's mind.

"Okay, okay, we'll be there soon, no need to rush us."

Passersby heard the voice talking to itself and initially thought it was Hu Tao talking to something unseen, but when they turned around and saw it was Lingling, they showed strange expressions.

(This child...could he be related to Walnut? The hair color doesn't seem right...)

......

Upon arriving at "Liuli Pavilion", a man and a woman greeted Lingling at the entrance.

Li Cai, a maid at "Liuli Pavilion," greeted them very warmly.

Welcome to "Liuli Pavilion".

Hongru, the envoy of "Liuli Pavilion," clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, and began to welcome them.

"Miss Lingling's presence is an honor to our humble establishment. A private room is ready, and Mr. Young Master and Mr. Zhongli are waiting for you."

The two men stepped aside and helped open the door.

Wherever Zhongli went, he always thought about drinking tea. As soon as Huiyuan entered the private room, she found several cups of tea already poured on the table, and Zhongli was still sipping them.

Q: Why does Zhongli like drinking tea so much?

The system's voice came out.

"why?"

"Because he is the Salt Emperor, he will die from salt if he doesn't drink water."

"It's so cold, Sister Tongzi...did you turn on the air conditioner?"

"Isn't it funny? You might not have understood the joke. There are two jokes in this joke. One is the homophony between 'Rock King Emperor' and 'Salt Death Emperor,' and the other is the homophony between 'Idle Death' and 'Salty Death.'"

Damn system, Lingling wasn't wearing much to begin with, and you're telling lame jokes, making it even lame now.

After warming her body slightly with fire, Huiyuan found a place to sit down.

As usual, Mimi ran out to eat as soon as it was mealtime.

Zhongli looked at Mimi, who was covered in black fur, and was slightly surprised.

(Hmm? Where did this cat come from... Miss Lingling's hairpin just lit up. Could there be something special inside? No wonder she's General "Dawn," I didn't even notice anything special about this hairpin.)

Mimi noticed Zhongli's gaze and let out a raspy voice, the kind a cat uses to threaten.

"Meow! (Don't steal my food!)"

Zhongli seemed to truly understand Mimi's voice, and nodded with a smile.

After all, he is the Rock King, and even if he doesn't understand animal language, he can still understand its meaning. Just like no one can understand what the "Stove Demon" Guoba is saying, but they can understand his emotions through his tone of voice.

When D'Artagnan returned from the restroom, she saw Lingling's face and quickly greeted her before waiting for someone outside the "Liuli Pavilion".

D'Artagnan didn't actually go to the restroom; instead, he exchanged intelligence with his subordinates and inquired about the movements of Luminous and Paimon.

Just as Huiyuan was about to start eating, Zhongli stopped her.

"Young friend, let's wait until everyone is here before we eat."

(Ah...I almost forgot about Yingmei and Paimon.)

......

Inside the Northern Bank, receptionist Ekaterina greeted Ying and Paimon upon their arrival.

"Welcome, Ying, a friend of 'Young Master'. May you rise to great heights within the 'Fools' clan.'"

When Ying was doing quests assigned by the Adventurers' Guild in Mondstadt, some Fatui tried to recruit her. After hearing Ekaterina's speech, they thought she was trying to poach Ying's boyfriend.

"I do not intend to join the Fools."

"Ha... We are all mortals, not the 'Ice Queen.' Mortal thoughts are like water beneath ice... they cannot remain forever sharp and unyielding."

Ekaterina chuckled softly, not taking Ying's rejection to heart.

Yes, mortals are mortals after all; how can their will be as unchanging as solid ice? But... are you sure that Ying, who appears young but has actually lived for at least several hundred years, is just an ordinary mortal? No, no, no, she is a mortal of the immortal race, a mortal who has fought against the gods.

Composing herself, Ekaterina returned to the main topic.

"Excuse me, please allow me to return to the main topic. The 'Young Master' says that his agreement with you has been fulfilled."

"The agreement is fulfilled? Oh, you mean he said he'd help us find someone?"

After Paimon asked the question, Catherine gave her an answer.

"Yes, 'Young Master' has promised to find someone who can break the deadlock for you. The promises of the 'Fools' executors are never broken."

"Then...where is he?"

"The master is at the 'Glass Pavilion'."

Paimon became excited upon hearing the words "Liuli Pavilion".

(There's something delicious to eat!)

"I'm really hungry, let's hurry up and go, traveler."

Turning to look at Ying, Paimon said impatiently.

......

Upon seeing Ying's arrival, Datalia waved enthusiastically.

"Oh, you've arrived. The agreement has been fulfilled. I've found someone who can help you—someone who can solve the problem of 'the Emperor's immortal body being hidden by the Seven Stars.'"

Where is this person? In the "Glass Pavilion"?

Paimon stood with his hands on his hips, striking a tough pose.

Because Paimon and Luminous had previously dealt with the Fatui's executive officer, "Lady," neither of them particularly liked the Fatui. After all, anyone would be angry if someone stole their friend's heart right in front of them.

You wicked woman! You stole Wendy's heart and then disappeared! How cruel! But... I like it!

Although Paimon and Luminous dislike the Fatui, Prince Charming was still a good person who helped them. Besides, Hunyuan knows him; whatever his schemes may be, he wouldn't possibly harm them, would he?
