Landed Xumi: There is no problem with my numbers!

Since the Great Sage is willing to come during this time of reunion, he must be particularly pleased with the people in the Hall of the Reborn.

Perhaps that is why he hopes that the hall master will treat him as a friend and get along with him normally, rather than specially welcoming a distinguished guest from afar."

Seeing that Hu Tao was disappointed because the "surprise ceremony" she had planned was not useful,

Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, feeling fortunate that he had stopped it in time, and spoke to comfort him.

".I hope you are not a guest, but a friend? So a grand welcome ceremony would seem awkward?"

"——Oh my! That makes sense!

It seems that I must have been too busy recently! I actually forgot such an important thing! "

Like a breeze blowing across a flame, it dims for a moment and then becomes brighter.

The Master Hu in front of him had changed his clothes specially for the New Year.

After hearing what Lin Feng said, he just held his chin with his hand and tilted his head, and instantly changed from being disappointed to being excited again, obviously very satisfied with such analysis.

Lin Feng: "."

Although I don't know what you have imagined,

But in any case, it would be great if you are willing to accept this more "daily" proposal.

I never expected that Master Hu would be so easy to persuade.

I admire the girl in front of me who always seems to be happy and energetic no matter what situation she encounters.

While Lin Feng was somewhat envious of this optimistic personality,

He also passed the conversation here to Xiao outside the door, indicating that he didn't have to worry about encountering any difficult situations later and could come in now.

".Thanks."

As expected, after receiving Xiao's heartfelt thanks,

Lin Feng also nodded, thinking that a warmer, more daily, and less fun scene might be nice.

After a while.

"——Come on! Let's toast to the Great Sage with tea instead of wine!"

"——Keqing, let's start with you!"

Xiao: "." I

Although he knew that the chances of this encounter were much smaller than before, he was still worried when he saw the Emperor and the other gods offering him tea.

Being called "Great Sage" again and again, Xiao froze in his tracks and raised the tea in his hand.

I plan to try my best to get through this introduction phase.

But just as Xiao raised his teacup and had not yet started to return the toast,

A heartfelt exclamation suddenly came from the side.

The full sense of happiness in the words instantly drew everyone's attention to the source of the voice:

“——Wow, the food here tastes amazing!

It tastes even better than the ones I had during the finals!

I didn’t expect that the guest official at Wangsheng Hall is so good at cooking!

If I had participated in the finals before, I would have received the blessing of the gods!"

".Ahem, Paimon!"

Seeing a white-haired kid next to him tasting a bite of the dish, his eyes lit up and he immediately began to praise the chef's cooking skills.

Although I don't know why the Great Saint statue across from me seemed relieved,

Although Ying was having a headache, she still quickly reminded the little guy who would forget all other factors when he saw food.

"——It's okay, everyone, you don't have to be so polite, just treat me normally."

"."

But before Ying could apologize to the Demon-Subduing Great Sage in front of him, he heard the other party say these words immediately.

Mona: “.”

Why does it feel like this sentence has been prepared a long time ago? Just waiting for an opportunity to say it immediately?

"."

——Forget it, saving your life is more important.

No matter what, just concentrate on eating.

Perhaps Master Hu really listened to Lin Feng's advice.

Apart from the tea-serving session that was interrupted at the beginning,

This banquet has a variety of members.

The real atmosphere is actually much friendlier than Xiao imagined.

As the delicious dishes were gradually served, although it was still a bit hard to accept the fact that the Emperor himself cooked,

But seeing that everyone's attention gradually turned to discussing which dish was more delicious,

He also gradually realized that the words "don't worry too much" when he was invited were not a joke.

Lin Feng: "."

Well, it's okay. Fortunately, I reminded Master Hu at the beginning.

Now that Hall Master Hu is safe, the subsequent banquets should be able to go smoothly.

“——Xiao! Since you are an immortal, you should know more about the gods of other countries!”

"——Ying wants to find her relatives, so she may visit the gods of other countries later.

Great Sage, do you have any clues about other gods?"

"."

"."

——Oh no, I really didn’t expect this.

Chapter 325: Paimon: Got it! I'll send Yunlai the Giant Octopus, the God of Rock!

".Since you are an immortal, may I ask if you have any clues about other gods?"

"."

As Paimon, who had just finished a large plate of food, asked this question,

Finally out of everyone's sight, Xiao froze before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.

Even the hand holding the tea was frozen in mid-air.

"."

Looking at the five gods in front of him who turned their heads, their faces looked normal but they also showed a hint of interest.

The "Great Sage who conquers demons" in the eyes of outsiders has now begun to seriously consider whether or not to use the "Wind Wheel Duality".

".I. am only familiar with matters concerning the exorcism of demons. I am not very knowledgeable and have never heard of it."

“Eh, is that so?”

"Well, because Ying just received a blessing, I also want to ask for clues about the God of Wind."

Hearing Xiao's answer, Paimeng tilted his head and showed a somewhat regretful expression.

"——The God of Wind? Hehe, I only know some general information about this. It has no reference value.

But do you want to hear the message from the God of Rock?"

"——As a bard wandering around Liyue, I know a lot about the legends of this god."

"."

Perhaps it was because although Xiao was unable to answer the question, the topic did not end there.

Seeing that Master Hu was eager to try, he was ready to speak out and tell the results of his communication with the Mond people during the competition.

Wendy on the side also quickly interjected with a smile.

Zhongli paused for a moment and turned the topic to Liyue's God of Rock.

"God of Rock?"

"Well, speaking of which, Ying and I wanted to see this god after the Lantern Festival.

It is also necessary to know some information in advance to avoid offending the gods."

Although I did not get any information about the God of Wind,

But after all, the matter at hand is more important. Paimon is also somewhat curious about what legends about the God of Rock this bard from Mondstadt can tell.

"——Hehe, Liyue has a long history and many demon gods.

The glorious deeds and legends of the Geo King are naturally innumerable, and I am sure you have heard some of them during your time in Liyue."

".The Emperor's magical powers are vast and extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Xiao nodded, as if he had finally found a familiar topic.

"——But the Rock God's divine power is already well known, so there is no need to emphasize it.

What I want to tell you this time is not the story of a great victory in the war between demons and gods, but the rumors about the emperor's preferences!"

"."

It seems that he heard a topic of interest.

For a moment, there was no one at the table except a guest from the Wangsheng Hall who was drinking tea.

The other guests all paid attention, and even Ruota glanced sideways, wondering what kind of insight Wendy would come up with.

"——Hehe, this is information I have carefully selected. It is definitely authentic enough."

"——You also said that you would go to see the Emperor later, but the Emperor is busy with many things and receives countless tributes.

If the gift is not appropriate,

Not only would you fail to accomplish your original mission, but you would also be charged with disrespecting the gods."

!!!

"Ah? It seems so! But the God of Rock is the God of Wealth, and he has so many believers.

There must be no shortage of Mora or tribute, so what should Ying and I bring when we ask for an audience?"

Ying and Paimon instantly realized that what the bard said made sense, and they became a little nervous.

"——That's not too difficult. In short, if you two want to leave a deep impression on the Emperor,

Then you just need to offer some slimy, slippery seafood with lots of tentacles when you meet.

I pledge my reputation as a bard,

Such a gift is definitely special enough to make the gods remember you two vividly even after many years!"

Zhongli: "."

I knew from the beginning that I shouldn't have believed that this guy could say anything serious.

"Huh? Slimy, slippery seafood, preferably with lots of tentacles?

Could this be the "giant octopus from Yunlai" that Xiangling mentioned? "

".But is this something that sounds strange really suitable to be given to the Rock King as a gift?"

Although I have heard some chefs shout out "Prince Yan loves seafood the most" during chef competitions,

Xiangling also said that the ingredient "Yunlai Giant Octopus" has a "crackling" feeling.

But looking at the bard in front of him who was strongly recommending this thing, Paimon always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Well, actually, I know a little bit about the Emperor's preferences.
