Original God: Using a vest knife to make players and game characters cry

"Let's go back to Liyue."

"Uh-huh."

The atmosphere in Liyue is more lively and festive, making it a better place to relax.

……

Liyue.

Mu Qingge brought her younger sister Mu Qingxu to Wanmin Hall.

"Master Mao, is Xiangling here?"

"Oh, it's Qingge! Xiangling is busy in the kitchen, please come in!"

Hearing that Xiangling was there, Mu Qingge led her younger sister inside and found a quiet place to sit down.

Compared to Master Mao's cooking, Mu Qingge still craves Xiangling's cooking even more.

"What do you two want to eat?"

"Master Mao, just tell Xiangling to keep it the same as always, she knows."

"Alright, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon!"

After Master Mao left, Mu Qingxu asked:

"Sis, what's wrong? I've noticed you've been distracted all day."

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Mu Qingge didn't mention anything about Ruola.

The food was served shortly afterward, and Mu Qingge took a bowl to add rice to Qingxu's bowl.

"Sister, I can do it myself. Even though you are now a Seven Star, you must rest properly when you need to!"

Mu Qingge glanced at her sister with amusement; this girl was actually lecturing her.

"Eat quickly."

"oh oh."

As she was eating, Mu Qingge looked up and saw two familiar people.

Yinghe Paimon!

Having teleportation ability is so convenient. She was even a little envious when she was still in Mondstadt a while ago.

Back then, even with maximum speed, it took more than a day for Malice to escape from Mondstadt to Liyue.

"Ying, Paimon, over here!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ying and Paimon looked over.

"Oh, it's Qingge. Uh... and who's this over here...?"

"Her name is Mu Qingxu, and she is my younger sister. Qingxu, this is Ying, the famous traveler you have been meeting. And the person next to her is the equally famous Paimon."

Paimon was so embarrassed by the praise that he became embarrassed.

Mu Qingxu put down the bowl: "So it's you! I've heard my sister talk about you all the time. I never thought I'd have the honor of meeting you. It's great! My name is Mu Qingxu. It's nice to meet you!"

Seeing Mu Qingxu's enthusiasm, Ying suddenly became sad, for some reason, and even Paimon next to her did the same.

Mu Qingxu took two steps back, somewhat flustered, and whispered in her sister's ear, "Sister, did I say something wrong?"

Paimon and Ying realized they had misunderstood and quickly said, "No, no, it's not because of Qingxu at all. We...we just thought of someone else when we saw Qingxu..."

"Yes, that's true. Qingxu, don't misunderstand."

Seeing this, Mu Qingge took the initiative to ease the awkwardness between the two parties:

"Ying, Paimon, our food has just been served. If you don't mind, please join us."

Ying and Paimon exchanged a glance and said, "Then thank you very much, Qingge."

Mu Qingge invited the two to sit down and ordered more food from Master Mao.

Paimon started eating after she sat down at the table. She and Ying had only eaten some grilled fish yesterday afternoon, and had spent the whole night with Ruola, so they were starving.

It tastes better when everyone eats together, but Ying and Qingge seem to have something on their minds and haven't eaten much.

Many more dishes were served afterward, and Paimon ate almost all of them by himself. Even Mu Qingxu looked at little Paimon with amazement.

How can someone with such a small belly eat so much?

And despite eating so much, my belly didn't get very big.

"Qingxu, I have some things to take care of later. You should go back first, and I'll go back later."

"Okay, sis, you need to come back soon, don't overwork yourself."

Mu Qingxu admired her older sister very much and would listen to almost everything her sister said.

Watching her younger sister walk away, Mu Qingge looked at Ying:

"Nora, she...she's already gone, isn't she?"

Noticing Ying and Paimon's surprised expressions, Mu Qingge sighed, "She can never hide her feelings. She thinks she can deceive everyone, but she has already written the truth on her face."

“I understand what Nora did, but she doesn’t understand that to me, she is more important than many things. I want to ask you, were you happy when Nora left in the end?”

"What kind of nonsense question did I ask? How could anyone leave happy?"

Mu Qingge made a self-deprecating remark and changed the subject: "If you had pulled her along, would she have had any regrets in the end?"

Ying and Paimon's thoughts drifted back to the time they spent with Ruola this morning.

Ying said, "Before Nora left forever, she did many things she wanted to do. She took Klee to fry fish, and finally we watched the sunrise. Everyone in Mondstadt was with her."

Are you all here?

Mu Qingge looked somewhat dejected. Why was she absent at such an important time?

"Um, Qingge, you don't blame Ruola, do you?" Paimon asked cautiously.

Mu Qingge chuckled:

“Paymon, what are you thinking? I just have some regrets. Nora... she was my best friend, and I couldn’t be by her side in the last moments of her life.”

Neither Ying nor Paimon spoke again; they didn't know how to comfort her.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly turned cold.

until…

"Hey, everyone's here, including the Traveler and Paimon. Hehe, long time no see."

The person who stepped into Wanmintang at this moment was Hu Tao, the 77th generation head of Wangshengtang.

"Hu Tao, I never expected to run into you here!"

"Ahem, this hall master is usually quite busy. That's why I'm out working today."

As Hu Tao spoke, she took out a stack of flyers from her bosom and handed one to each of Paimeng, Ying, and Qingge.

"Wang Sheng Tang is having a limited-time grand sale! Buy one get one free, buy two get three free, the more you buy, the more you get! Buying is like making a profit! How about it? Aren't you tempted? Are you planning to order a set?"

Paimon quickly waved his hand and hid behind Ying, who also indicated that she didn't need it for the time being.

Mu Qingge picked up the flyer that Hu Tao handed her and looked at it. When she saw the words "professional team, trustworthy" on it, she suddenly wanted to laugh, but fortunately she managed to hold it in.

"Master Hu, give me one."

"Huh?" x3

Not to mention Ying and Paimon, even Hu Tao was somewhat doubting her ears.

"Qingge, are you really going to do this?"

I've heard that Kaiyangxing has been in a bad mood lately and his condition is very strange. Could it be that...?

"What are you thinking about?"

Mu Qingge rolled her eyes at Hu Tao, annoyed.

"I'm just adding to Master Hu's reputation, anyway, there will be a day when it comes in handy."

And that day won't be too far off...

Chapter 68 Old Deng, the will-o'-the-wisp has stopped outside.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you, Qingge, to have such a deep understanding of death. If everyone in Liyue were like you, there would be no need for me, the Hall Master, to personally come out and spread the word."

"Master Hu is capable and therefore has many responsibilities. However, there is only one funeral service in Liyue. Whether we like it or not, everyone is destined to be Master Hu's guest. It's just a matter of sooner or later."

Walnut immediately retorted:

“This is different. In Liyue, we believe in burial for peace. The rites after a person dies are very complicated. If you make a reservation in advance, we will prepare in advance according to the number of reservations.”

"Moreover, recently Zhongli has become obsessed with buying antiques and calligraphy and paintings. He never bargains and sometimes even raises the price. He even sends the bills to Wangshengtang!"

As Hu Tao finished speaking, her little face puffed up with anger.

"I have another reason for coming to Wanmintang this time: to pay off his debts. Damn it, Xiangling should have kept him here to wash dishes until the debts are paid off!"

Mu Qingge: "..."

She couldn't answer that question.

Her boss's boss is criticizing her boss, so she, a lowly employee, should stay out of the way.

"It's really fate that we met everyone here. I was originally planning to treat you to a meal, but since you've already eaten, let's leave it for next time. I'll treat you then, and we can invite Xingqiu and Chongyun to join us for another get-together."

Mu Qingge: "Alright, then Hall Master Hu, please continue with your meal. We'll be leaving now."

Hu Tao nodded quickly, then ran to the kitchen to find Xiang Ling.

After leaving Wanmintang, the three of them walked together on the street.

Ying and Paimeng hesitated several times before stopping, but Mu Qingge noticed and stopped them.

"Gentlemen, judging from your expressions, you seem to have more to say. I think, given our relationship, there shouldn't be anything we can't talk about."

Paimon floated in front of Mu Qingge: "Qingge, the Traveler and I are planning to go to Inazuma next, but the country is currently closed off and there are thunderstorms at sea. We would like to ask if you know how to get to Inazuma."

Are you going to Inazuma?

Ying nodded.

Mu Qingge thought for a moment before answering, "I do know how to get to Inazuma, but you probably can't go now."

"Huh? Why?"

“At this special time, there are many people who want to go to Inazuma and those who want to leave Inazuma, but only one fleet called the Southern Cross can guarantee a safe round trip, and this fleet just left port recently.”

"When will this fleet return?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that. Perhaps you could ask Ningguang. She has a good relationship with Beidou, the leader of the fleet, and maybe she's involved in the fleet's departure this time."

Having obtained the information they wanted, Ying and Paimon pretended to return to Wanmintang.

"Aren't you all full yet?"

Mu Qingge said this to the two of them, but her eyes were fixed on Paimon without blinking, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Paimon, hands on hips, said, "What? How could that be? Paimon is full. We're going to find Shen He."

"Shen He?"

Mu Qingge seemed to remember not seeing Shen He at Wanmintang earlier. Could he have gone out to deliver food?

Speaking of which, she and Shen He are quite close friends, and I think I had originally planned to come and see her.

However, Shen He isn't here right now, so let's do it next time.

After all, she had promised her sister that she would go back soon.

If I get back late, even if she doesn't say anything, she'll probably secretly resent me for being perfunctory and treating her like a child.

Thinking of this, Mu Qingge's lips curled up slightly.

He's just a kid, but he insists on acting like an adult.

On her way home, Mu Qingge kept thinking about how to create a commotion in Liyue as big as in Mondstadt.
