Xiao nodded to himself; Yan Xiao was indeed taking good care of him, even though he didn't need it.

Paimon: "You're actually making this for Xiao? You guys are pretty good to him."

[Yan Xiao: "How can life not be good when you're dealing with people you see all the time?"]

"..." Xiao could no longer see; both of his eyes were closed.

"Isn't this a bit too 'simple'?" Hu Tao couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh at him, you're no better than him." Lin Qiu rolled her eyes at Hu Tao.

When you write about the Lantern Festival later, you'll be just as bad as anyone else when it comes to the 'harm' done to the apes.

"Hahaha, we'll run into each other again! Hahaha!" Gui Zhong laughed unrestrainedly.

But to be honest, she doesn't seem to be any taller than Xiao, and I don't know what she's laughing about.

Wendy was the same; he was laughing happily, though it was unclear what he was laughing about.

"Hmm...we'll run into each other all the time...Liyue really is full of experts." Seno agreed.

It seems I'll have to go to Liyue for further studies if I get the chance, otherwise I'll lose my title of 'King of Jokes', Ceno.

The group of people in the book separated. Keqing and Xiangling looked at the records of the Kitchen God, while the Traveler and Yanxiao made a satisfying salad.

By the time the traveler finished and went to find Keqing, who was standing nearby, Keqing had just finished reading the contents of the book.

[Ke Qing: "The book says: 'Two hundred li to the northwest lies the place of Guili Village. There are many settlements there, and the people live by hunting, farming, and weaving.'"]

As Ke Qing was speaking, Guoba ran past everyone.

[Ke Qing: "When the Kitchen God arrives, his form multiplies from one to many, each as tall as a child. Like stars falling to earth, he scatters into every household to help them start a fire. With this fire, the people know how to eat hot food, and can eat soup and rice, and cook meat."]

This is completely different from what was recorded in the previous book.

Paimon: "From one to many? Does that mean there's more than one Kitchen God?"

After everyone finished chatting, Yanxiao said he would treat everyone to a meal.

After all the dishes were served, among them were Keqing's favorite golden shrimp balls.

Xiangling could tell from the smell that the other party would be her formidable rival.

Xiangling asked Yanxiao if she would participate in the "Chef King Competition" and expressed her hope to meet her in the finals, as if declaring war.

[Ying: "Xiangling, light it!"]

Xiangling replied with a smile, "Not at all..."

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed Guoba's little action. "Guoba! What are you doing?!"

Guoba's eyes widened. "Lu~??"

[Ke Qing: "Ah! It, it ate..."]

In the blink of an eye, the golden shrimp balls were completely gone.

"Ugh... my golden shrimp balls..."

[Xiangling: "Crispy rice! You're bad!"]

[Guoba tilted his head in confusion: "Lulu~??", then grinned.]

Actually, you can't really blame Guoba. After all, the shrimp balls were the closest to it, and with its short arms, it couldn't reach the other dishes...

Xiangling said she would make it up to Keqing by cooking her a dish she wanted to eat, because "not being able to eat the dish you wanted at that moment, even if you replaced it with something else, could never make up for that feeling."

"Food is a combination of emotion, food, and atmosphere; none of them can be missing!"

This statement has been widely accepted, not just regarding food, but also regarding many other things.

If you don't get what you wanted in the first place, you won't be as happy even if you do get it later.

Perhaps this is the regret of wanting to make up for childhood mistakes after making money, only to find that you no longer like the things from your childhood.

Character Voice Lines - Xiao: About seeing each other all the time

"Disrespectful to the Immortal Master!"

Chapter 133 That Woman!

Keqing: "In that case, there's a dish I'd like you to try making. It's an old recipe left by my grandfather. I'll get it for you when we get back to Liyue Harbor."

After the group finished their meal, they returned to Liyue Harbor. After Xiangling left, Keqing stopped the Traveler and asked him how to get along with Xiangling.

It turned out that she was usually very busy and had a high social status, so she had no experience in dealing with enthusiastic girls like Xiangling, and asked the traveler what to do.

You've come to the right person; travelers know quite a few 'enthusiastic girls'.

The traveler gave Keqing advice and then went directly to find Xiangling to ask her opinion on Keqing.

[Xiangling: "Keqing has a good personality and is easy to get along with. Everyone likes to associate with this type of person, right?"]

"Just now at the inn, she even fed Guoba some delicious food, didn't you guys notice?"

Guoba stole Keqing's favorite golden shrimp balls, but Keqing not only wasn't angry, she also fed Guoba delicious food, which shows that Keqing is indeed a good-natured person.

"Huh? Am I easy to get along with?" Ke Qing was unaware of her own thoughts.

Because of her "disrespect" towards the Emperor, many people in Liyue actually oppose Keqing.

"Yes, she's really easy to get along with," Gan Yu replied. The two had worked overtime together so many times that they were naturally friends.

"Isn't it because Gan Yu, you're very gentle?" Ke Qing asked, puzzled.

She always felt that she could get along well with Gan Yu because Gan Yu was so gentle and tolerant of her.

In fact, Ke Qing and Gan Yu are both easy to get along with, but generally no one dares to be around them.

Because one of them looks too capable and the other too aloof, plus their status, most people wouldn't dare to approach them.

In the end, these two easy-going people ended up having very few friends.

Returning to the book, after the traveler and Xiangling finished discussing Keqing, they suddenly heard a commotion outside.

As the group stepped out of the Wanmin Hall, Xiangling exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! What a huge bird!"

Paimon exclaimed, "Ah! It's that woman!"

It turned out that the True Lord Liuyun Borrowed the Wind flew to the roof.

[True Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind: "How dare you! Which woman is that?!"]

In reality, Xianyun glanced at Lin Qiu and said in the team voice chat: "How did you write this immortal's name!"

Lin Qiu gestured towards Paimon with her lips, indicating that it was her who said it, and it had nothing to do with her.

Gui Zhong covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her long sleeves obscuring half her face, the cuffs like stars in the sky, concealing her small hands inside.

This time she didn't laugh too wildly, because unlike Xiao, Xianyun was right next to her.

It feels so good to be 'resurrected', otherwise how would I see these old friends having fun?

The reason why Liu Yun Zhenjun appears in Liyue in the story is because she also wants to participate in the "Chef King Competition".

As a true inventor, she specially invented a new mechanism for the competition.

She came to Wanmintang to find the traveler, because the traveler was also very good at cooking and had tasted cuisines from all over the world. She wanted to invite the traveler to taste the food she 'made'.

After finishing his business, True Lord Liuyun left, and Guoba tilted his head and looked at True Lord Liuyun.

Unfortunately, Liu Yun didn't seem to notice him.

Paimon: "She's a woman who comes and goes like the wind... no, a fairy... no, a fairy bird?"

In reality, Paimon felt Xianyun's intense gaze and hid behind Ying.

A small head peeked out from Ying's shoulder, like a spirit behind Ying, reading a book together with her.

After Liu Yun Zhenjun left the book, Ke Qing arrived, but she only saw Liu Yun Zhenjun's departing figure.

[Ke Qing: "Ancient books are often incomplete due to their age, so there are also a few omissions in the recipes. I wonder if that's a problem?"]

This is why Xiangling decided to cook a proper dish to make up for Keqing's mistake; otherwise, she might have tried replacing the missing part with a slime.

As they were talking, a voice came from behind them: "Everyone's here?"

[Traveler: "Wang Xiaomei?"]

That's right, the person who came was Gan Yu. She came to check on the commotion caused by a certain large bird.

Gan Yu was slightly flustered after learning that Ke Qing and the others had seen True Lord Liu Yun.

Gan Yu said to Ke Qing, "Can I borrow a moment of your time? I have something I want to tell you."

[Ke Qing asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Gan Yu? Is there something urgent?"]

As expected of the overtime duo, their first reaction was that they had important matters to attend to.

Gan Yu waved her hand: "No, it has nothing to do with work, it's some personal matters...is that okay?"

"Is it okay? I really asked, okay?"

This piqued the curiosity of readers: what personal issue made Gan Yu appear so nervous?

Ke Qing read each word carefully, sensing that Gan Yu was about to say something important.

Gan Yu, however, had already anticipated what was going to happen, and covered her face with her hands.

Gan Yu: "I saw that True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng lingered here for a while. May I ask...did she tell you...my...my childhood story?"

"..." Xianyun remained silent.

"..." Everyone fell silent.

So that's what happened! Because of Lin Qiu's exposure, everyone knows about it now.

Gan Yu was so mysterious that they never actually connected it to this well-known story.

"Gan Yu... what kind of image do you have of your teacher?" Xianyun sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"Hahahaha! Of course, it's the image of someone who's very good at chatting." Gui Zhong finally couldn't help but blurt out.

"Am I not good at chatting?" Seeing Gui Zhong laughing so hard, Xian Yun gave a haughty snort.

“Master is very good at chatting.” Shen He nodded.

Everyone else was laughing, but Ke Qing remained serious. Because she had been working overtime, she didn't know about Gan Yu's childhood story.

She only learned today that Zhongli was the Emperor.

In the story, Keqing said that Liuyun Zhenjun had not told her story, and after she finished speaking, Keqing did not continue to ask questions.

Paimon: "Isn't Keqing curious about the story Ganyu told?"

[Ke Qing: "Of course, Gan Yu has secrets she doesn't want others to know, and naturally, others shouldn't pry."]

"Keqing...you really are very gentle," Gan Yu said with a smile.

"Huh? Why are you praising me all of a sudden?" Ke Qing asked shyly.

She didn't think her words were particularly gentle; weren't they just basic things?

Lin Qiu, on the other hand, teased Paimon, "Paimon, you're bad!"

Paimon retorted, "Didn't you write all of this?!"

Lin Qiu retorted, "But these are all things you would say, that's why I wrote them."

"Ugh..." Paimon choked, and then, in a fit of rage, she said, "That wretched Lin Qiu, I'm going to set the ocean ablaze!"

"..." Lin Qiu remained silent, then grabbed Paimon from behind and began to rub her little face.

Ying didn't stop her, just as she had said, she wouldn't go to save Paimon.

Before leaving, Gan Yu said, "Everyone, I still have work to do, so I'll take my leave now. Please take good care of Ke Qing."

After Gan Yu left, Ying said, "Ke Qing, she seemed like your sister just now."

"Sister?" Gan Yu asked thoughtfully.

"What sister?!" Ke Qing was even more embarrassed.
