Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

She really liked Gan Yu, and Gan Yu helped her a lot at work. Sometimes she was like an older sister, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.

In the book, Xiangling put forward a new conjecture: could the Kitchen God be an immortal like Liuyun Zhenjun?

If it's an immortal, why not just ask an immortal? Ordinary people can't find immortals to ask, but Xiangling is an expert.

"Hmm... to be honest, my opinion of her has only changed recently. The story of the Moon Festival helped me understand Keqing better. If I could be her older sister, I would be very willing."

Chapter 134 The Festival of the Moon - The Kitchen God

Then, Xiangling led everyone to find her 'master', Ge Chenlang City True Lord - Granny Ping.

Ge Chen hadn't expected to make an appearance; he couldn't let Gui Zhong laugh at him too!

[Guoba jumps around waving: "Lu~?!"]

Grandma Ping glanced at the rice crust and said with a smile, "Xiangling's here."

Readers would never have imagined that the white-haired, stooped old woman described in the book has now transformed into a mature woman with blue hair.

In the book, the group of people chatted with Grandma Ping about the Kitchen God, and Guoba took the opportunity to run away, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

[Grandma Ping: "To commemorate a friend, the Rock King Emperor combined various festivals with the term 'Chasing the Moon,' using the heavens and earth as a metaphor, taking the moon as a vow, remembering the past and present, and celebrating reunion and joy. This is the 'Chasing the Moon Festival.'"]

"I guess the Kitchen God Festival is one of these many festivals."

"Hmph, you're even more eloquent than I am," Xianyun said with forced praise.

“Old people love to tell stories,” Ge Chen said with a smile, seemingly entering Grandma Ping’s mode again.

In the book, Keqing was summoned away by Ningguang's men, and Granny Ping mentioned the "Kitchen God," a friend of the Emperor she had just spoken of.

Grandma Ping: "The Kitchen God was also my good friend, but unfortunately, for some reason, he is no longer here and has also disappeared from people's memories."

"However, the demon god is immortal. We made a pact that once the land regains its vitality, the Kitchen God might return to the mortal realm in some way."

Heuria and Guizhong looked at each other; they had indeed returned to the human world in some way.

Grandma Ping: "Liyue is like my most treasured potted plant. I've watched it grow more and more beautiful and prosperous. In the blink of an eye, another generation has grown up... It's wonderful."

"Only when new flowers bloom on the branches can a tree remain evergreen and ageless."

Hmm...she seems to be better at chatting than her master? Shen He wondered, because in her mind her master was indeed very good at chatting.

In the end, I have to say that A-Ping is still the most consistent performer. Xiao and Xianyun have both 'fallen from grace' in their later years, but A-Ping's performance remains stable.

As a 'new flower on the branch,' Nasita was reading this sentence, but at that moment she didn't feel anything.

She felt that if she could make the 'tree' stay evergreen, she would be willing to sacrifice herself, and the tree in her heart was Mount Sumeru.

In the story, the mysterious boulder cracked open.

The crowd speculated that the lively atmosphere of the "Moon Festival," the cooking, and the reunion had given the stone some "divine power."

A few days passed in the book, and Xiangling passed the preliminary round without any suspense.

She also made many 'trial dishes' for travelers to try.

The Traveler and Paimon said they had eaten too much and were not being objective, and should have looked for someone else, so they approached Beidou.

At this moment, Beidou and Xinyan were together, discussing Xinyan's plan to go on the ship.

In reality, Xin Yan was completely bewildered; she never expected that she would make an appearance.

The characters in the book discuss the dishes Xiangling has made, and casually complain about Ningguang's taste, as she actually likes 'boiled cabbage in clear broth'.

They both prefer food that's oily, salty, and a bit spicy. As for dishes like boiled cabbage in clear broth, they find them bland and lacking in flavor.

In real life, Xiangling was taking notes, which saved her the trouble of even conducting a public opinion poll.

"I see, it's missing that 'crackling' feeling." Xiangling wrote something in her book. "How about we try adding some Rei-Slime?"

After asking those with strong palates, the group in the book decided to ask those with milder palates—yes, the ones who were always running into the same person.

The group found Xiao in a simple way: they just called out Xiao's name.

Because Xiao had told them before that he would appear as long as they called his name.

Paimon: "Xiao—!"

There was no movement at all.

"I'll try again, Xiao—!"

There's still no movement at all.

[Ying calls out: "Xiao, are you there?"]

[Xiao: "What is it?"]

"You called my name, didn't you?"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao was already standing on the mast.

"Oh my, calling someone by their name works so well? I'll remember that." Hu Tao said thoughtfully.

"..." Lin Qiu had a bad feeling. Why did it feel like I had tricked Xiao?

[Xiangling: "Hello, my name is Xiangling, I'm a chef. I've been shortlisted for the Chef King Competition. I've prepared some dishes before the competition and would like to invite diners with different tastes to try them."]

Xiangling was talking to Xiao, while Guoba jumped around frantically waving.

Xiao teleported down. "A diner? I count as one?"

Guoba stared wide-eyed at Xiao, but Xiao didn't notice Guoba.

Guoba: Please, look at me carefully.

At the travelers' request, Xiao agreed to taste the dishes.

Xiao: "...It tastes good."

Guoba hopped around beside Xiao to greet him, but Xiao still didn't notice.

[Xiangling: "The immortal praised my cooking, will my dad cry if he finds out...?"]

"It's not that bad..." Master Mao secretly wiped away his tears, but wouldn't admit it.

[Xiao: "You're skilled in this; it reminds me of a chef."]

"That person can cook delicious food that nourishes the soul, and so can you. You're both masters."

At this point, everyone thought that the chef Xiao was referring to was Yan Xiao.

After making his suggestion, Xiao was about to leave when Guoba heard that Xiao was about to leave.

[Xiao: "See you later."]

Xiao vanished instantly, while Guoba, tears welling in his eyes, lowered his head in a pitiful manner.

Yan Xiao scratched his head. So that short person was an immortal... Oh no, I'm being disrespectful to my immortal master now.

"Didn't the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons notice..." Xianyun sighed.

"Maybe he's not used to looking down at people," Gui Zhong said, covering his mouth and chuckling.

Lin Qiu couldn't resist using his finger-flicking skill and gave Gui Zhong a flick.

Gui Zhong covered his head and remained silent, neither angry nor upset, which really did resemble Hu Tao.

They not only have similar personalities, but also similar body types. Maybe that's what makes them look so cool?

A few days later, the story in the book reached the final of the Chef King Competition, hosted by Yan Fei.

In reality, Yanfei has just returned to Liyue and went to Yujingtai to find Granny Ping, only to find that Granny Ping is not there. She is currently searching for her.

[Yan Fei: "Standing on the left are the contestants for this competition, the seeded players selected from the Dihuazhou competition area—Daoxia Shengxiang, Kuaidao Chuxia, and Yanxiao!"]

"Standing on the right is the contestant for this round, the formidable champion selected by the Liyue Harbor region—Xiangling, the 'Rain of Fire,' the 'Master Chef,'"

"And her mysterious helper partner, I wonder who it is!"

[The rice crust cries pitifully.]

Ying noticed a problem: why didn't True Monarch Liuyun make it to the finals?

Yingmei glanced at Xianyun, who noticed her gaze and understood her thoughts.

"Hmph, this immortal has no desire to participate in any competitions for mortals." Xianyun snorted lightly, it was hard to tell how much of her words were true and how much were false.

"I have witnessed its prosperity firsthand, experienced the warmth and human interaction in the market alleys, and I live here. I love this place."

Chapter 135 Crispy Rice - The Demon God of the Stove

The cooking competition has just begun, and Guoba is already rushing off to help Yanxiao.

Okay, actually, Guoba, this mysterious helper, didn't do much good; his main role was to light the fire for Xiangling.

Then all that's left is to stand on the sidelines, act cute, and cheer each other on.

[Ke Qing: "The helper, who was dancing a mysterious dance to cheer on Xiang Ling, is now also cheering on Yan Xiao, which proves that this helper is completely impartial."]

[Xiangling: "Yes, Guoba wasn't an outside helper I hired. It just likes watching people cook! I think it went over there to help Yanxiao ease her tension."]

You wouldn't believe it, Guoba can even do a 'mysterious dance'! Now you really need to keep a close eye on me.

In the story, Xiangling even has time to comfort Yanxiao and offer him advice on how to calm down, without showing any intention of cooking.

Yan Xiao thanked Xiang Ling for her kindness, while urging Xiang Ling not to delay her cooking.

[Xiangling: "It won't delay anything, I've already finished."]

"???" This left everyone completely bewildered.

Judging from what's written in the book, the competition has only just begun, right? A few people were just chatting about rice crackers, weren't they?

Yanxiao's hands were still shaking with nervousness, and you've already finished cooking?

Xiangling, did you open it?

After Yan Xiao finished, it was the judges' turn to make their judgments.

[Xiangling: "My main course is 'Spicy Chicken with Chili Peppers,' the side dish is 'Shrimp with Three Kinds of Shredded Vegetables,' and the dessert is 'Crystal Shrimp.'"]

Xiangling's three dishes include everything that flies in the sky, swims in the water, and grows in the ground; it can be described as a "land, sea, and air combo."

Then Xiangling gave a detailed introduction to the three dishes, making the readers' mouths water.

Paimon, in particular, was already ravenously hungry, and his drool was practically dripping onto Ying's shoulder.

[Yan Xiao: "My dishes are 'Immortal Jumps Over the Wall,' 'Mint Salad,' and 'Golden Shrimp Balls.'"]

Both Guoba and Keqing stared intently at the "Golden Shrimp Balls."

However, this time was a little different, because Ke Qing, as a judge, had the right to taste the food first.

[Ke Qing: "Absolutely amazing! Both dishes are incredibly elaborate, skillful, and delicious. I'd like to have some more golden shrimp... no! I want to savor both dishes a little longer."]

After all three judges had given their opinions, some audience members were selected as judges.

Paimon: "Why weren't they inviting me to be a judge! I'm incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about food; missing me is their loss!"

[Luminous: "Calm down, Paimon. I'll cook for you later."]

Paimon: "Hehe... Although there are so many chefs in this world who can cook so many delicious dishes, the person who is best to me is still you!"

"Waaaaah, Ying, you're so good to me." Paimon was deeply moved.

Ying could only say helplessly, "Then don't get my clothes dirty with your saliva!"

It turned out that Paimon had been hiding behind Ying reading a book, and because of the descriptions of food in the book, she was drooling all over Ying's shoulder.

“Heh heh.” Paimon mimicked a certain drunken poet.
