Genshin Impact: Dionysus reigns supreme, all demons retreat!

Xu Ning's question completely stumped Master Mao.

People who come here to eat at Huyan or Wanmintang will spend at least 200 to 180 yuan a day.

However, after running the shop here for several years, this is the first time Chef Mao has ever seen someone come in and ask his daughter for food without even ordering.

"Xiangling was just here a moment ago, but it seems she went to play with her master."

When dealing with guests, Master Mao usually answers all questions. Even though he found it a bit strange, he still answered Xu Ning's question.

Xu Ning nodded happily, thinking that being with the person she wanted to see was double the joy.

Ningguang frowned slightly, recalling the word "fragrant" that Xu Ning had glossed over when he heard about Wanmintang. Clearly, he had meant to say that he wanted to come and see "Xiangling".

It was clearly his first time in Liyue Harbor, so knowing about Tiger Rock and Wanmin Hall could be explained as hearsay.

But he even knows the name of Master Mao's youngest daughter, who was only a few years old. That's really strange.

Beidou doesn't think like Ningguang; she always speaks her mind.

"Xu Ning, why do you want to see his daughter?"

Xu Ning was speechless for a moment.

This is a very complicated problem. What should I do if I can't come up with a solution right now?

Ningguang's eyes swept across Xu Ning's face, and he immediately saw that the boy was trying hard to find an excuse. He wanted to see him make a fool of himself, but he also felt a little reluctant.

"Master Mao's youngest daughter, Xiangling, is only four years old this year. She often stands here watching her father cook. Master Mao holds a big wok and stir-fries the vegetables, and she stands behind him, holding a small frying pan and learning from him..."

Before Ningguang could finish speaking, Beidou and Master Mao burst into laughter.

“My precious daughter is going to inherit all my skills! You two have some tea first, I’ll go cook for you.”

Master Mao turned and went into the kitchen. When Beidou heard that the girl's daughter was only four years old, he didn't bother to ask any further questions.

Xu Ning gave Ningguang a grateful look, and Ningguang's cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

Xu Ning then said, "Xiangling's master is the person I came to Liyue Harbor to find. I was originally planning to have Xiangling take us there, but now I have to trouble Ningguang instead."

Ningguang lifted her gaze from her teacup and smiled, "You've provided food and drink for me today, so I can't refuse now even if I wanted to."

Upon hearing the word "drink," Beidou immediately poured the tea from the teacup in front of him onto the ground.

"Ningguang is right. They provide food and drink. Quick, pour the wine."

Xu Ning poured her half a glass with a sigh. "The food hasn't been served yet, and don't you want to go see who I'm going to see?"

Beidou held the wine glass with a worried expression, her face contorted with anxiety.

Xu Ning turned to Ning Guang and smiled, "You should have some too. Don't worry, it's not intoxicating."

Ningguang smiled and, just like Beidou, spilled the tea, then had Xu Ning pour her a full cup.

Master Mao first served a cold dish of "Fragrant and Tender Spicy Chicken" to the little ones to fill their bellies.

Then I made a "stir-fried pork slices" dish, and finally a "crispy rice crust".

"This Jueyun Rice Crust is my daughter's favorite food, and it's also the dish I put the most effort into making. Give it a try, I guarantee you'll love it."

Xu Ning broke off a piece of rice crust, added a slice of ham on top, and stuffed it into Beidou's mouth.

He broke off another piece and gestured to Ningguang.

Ningguang blushed immediately and hurriedly took it, saying, "I can do it myself."

Before he had finished chewing the rice crust in his mouth, Beidou stuffed another piece of spicy chicken into it.

"Mmm, Xu Ning, this pepper chicken tastes better than yours."

"Haha, this sliced ​​meat is so spicy, but so delicious, I can't stop eating it."

Compared to Beidou's loud and boisterous eating, Ningguang is much more reserved when she eats.

Xu Ning ordered three more bowls of rice, and the three little ones ate their fill before putting down their chopsticks.

Xu Ning paid the bill and turned to the two of them, saying, "Xiang Ling hasn't returned yet, which means her master hasn't gone to sleep. Let's hurry up, or it will be too late to pay our respects."

Ningguang nodded and asked, "Do you know where she lives?"

Xu Ning thought for a moment, "If I remember correctly, it seems to be at the very top of Yujing Terrace, next to Yuehai Pavilion!"

Ningguang let out a soft "Ah!" and exclaimed in surprise, "He's a very important person!"

"This Moon Pavilion is the most central place of Jade Capital Terrace, the key location for the Seven Stars' council. Getting in might be a bit troublesome!"

Xu Ning nodded in agreement, "Indeed. But getting to Yujing Terrace shouldn't be too difficult, right? We can figure out a way once we get there."

Ningguang picked up the basket from the ground and carried it on her back, leading Xu Ning and the other two towards Yujingtai.

After passing a teahouse called "Yanshang" and crossing a wooden bridge, the surrounding buildings suddenly became tall and magnificent.

Pavilions, towers, and covered bridges connect the entire complex.

The huge lanterns illuminated the surroundings as if it were daytime.

The three walked down the street, looking at the magnificent scenery that was completely different from that of Chihu Rock, and for a moment they were speechless.

Xu Ning broke the silence, "This must be the wealthy area of ​​Liyue!"

Ningguang laughed and said, "What you're saying is basically true. After all, the fishermen who make a living in Liyue Harbor can't afford houses in Jade Peak. Most of them are already doing very well if they can settle down in Tiger Rock."

Beidou suddenly pointed to the two buildings opposite the Liyue General Affairs Office and asked, "What are those buildings for, one with a big fish sign and the other with a big fan sign?"

Ningguang explained, "Over there is Xinyuexuan, which is known as the best restaurant serving moon dishes. Over there is Liuliting, which is known as the most authentic Liuli cuisine restaurant. It is said that you need to make a reservation three months in advance to eat at these two restaurants."

"Wow."

Beidou exclaimed, "So, the food they make must be incredibly delicious?"

Ningguang gave a wry smile, "It's also extremely expensive!"

Xu Ning tilted his head back, took a swig of wine, and shook his head.

Who defined "deliciousness" as something that cannot be enjoyed by everyone?

Ningguang glanced at Xu Ning in surprise and laughed, "If you had said that to Master Mao at Wanmintang, he might have considered you a close friend and given you a free meal! After all, he often says similar things."

Beidou exclaimed, "Xu Ning, you've really wasted a lot of Mora!"

The three chatted and laughed as they walked through an arched gate, where a beautiful lotus pond came into view.

Pedestrians strolled leisurely across the bridge in twos and threes, the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere contrasting sharply with the noisy atmosphere of the Tiger Rock below, creating a world apart.

“Go up these stone steps and you’ll reach Moon Sea Pavilion. I don’t think the Thousand Rock Army stationed there will let us in.”

Xu Ning smiled and said, "We'll only know if we try."

As Xu Ning stepped onto the stairs, the first thing he did was look up at the sky.

The night sky was completely empty; there was nothing there.

That's right.

Xu Ning turned to the left, remembering that the small table with the teapot and cups was right next to the flowerbed on the left.

Just then, a soldier from the Thousand Rock Army suddenly stepped out.

"Is there anything you need to report? If not, leave immediately. This is where high-ranking officials and nobles live; it's not a place you can come and go as you please."
