After finding Zhongli, the traveler handed over the bamboo shoots, whose 'cuteness' was still unknown, to Zhongli, who then threw them directly into the pot.
Xianyun, who had just returned, was very happy to see this. "Hmph, my invention is indeed amazing."
In the story, Paimon says: "The Imperial Army, no, it was Kurumi who asked me to give you a message."
The message stated, "Whether he comes to support us today is up to him, but he shouldn't refuse to attend the dinner tomorrow."
Zhongli agreed, and the fairy deer and fairy bird on the other side whispered to each other, which the traveler overheard.
Li Shui Die Shan said that if he had known that woman had something good, he should have borrowed it.
It's a bit strange that you borrowed the Moon-Cut-and-Build-Sun technique. You don't like mechanical arts, and you don't have a appetite. What would you do with it?
[Li Shui Die Shan: "If I had any cooking skills, why would Shen He have had to eat only wildflowers and weeds when he was training with me... cough..."]
The case is solved! It's solved!
No wonder Shen He eats grass every day, he learned it from you two!
The two immortals in reality looked embarrassed and glanced at Shen He, but fortunately Shen He didn't seem to care.
She had very little emotional desire, including her appetite; she didn't care whether she ate grass or not.
The story ends with a comic strip where Hu Tao and Xin Yan are singing on stage, while Ning Guang, Ke Qing, and Bei Dou look down from upstairs, the three of them agreeing to have a small get-together.
Behind them, Yelan received new information, but Lin Qiu gave her an air of mystery, so everyone only saw her back.
Looks like she's going to have to work overtime. The boss's eating while I'm working overtime, damn it! (Referring to chromosome 11 gene)
Bai Zhu and Qi Qi also make an appearance, delivering lanterns to children.
There seemed to be envy in Qi Qi's eyes, which made the readers' hearts soften. Quickly, give her the biggest thumbs up!
Turning the page again, Xiao, who wasn't much taller than Qiqi, appeared. He wasn't there to collect the lanterns that only children could receive; he was also 'working overtime'.
Even in the peaceful days of celebration, he still shines brightly.
He leaped up and pierced through an armored minion with a single shot. Xiao ripped off his mask, looked up at the sky, and saw fireworks exploding in the air—a fleeting moment of beauty.
After the fireworks, the sky is filled with lanterns; this is not a fleeting moment, but a lasting beauty.
Gan Yu held a lantern and gently released it into the air.
'Falling like glass'
Shen He looked at Xiao Deng with a hint of envy: "Master, Xiao Deng... I..."
[Liu Yun jumped up and down: "Hmph, a mere Sky Lantern? I'll make you an earth-shattering, unprecedented masterpiece right now! You wait and take it to Liyue Harbor, let everyone broaden their horizons."]
The proud woman's competitive spirit flared up again: "What my apprentice likes can't be worse than what others have!"
During the final ensemble performance, the audience only saw the conductor's movements. Just as the audience's attention was entirely on the conductor, Dvorak turned around with a surprised expression.
Readers were puzzled, wondering what had happened that surprised them so much?
Paimon will answer your questions.
"It's Grandma Ping!"
In an instant, a surge of emotion welled up in the reader's mind. Although they heard nothing, the imaginative space of the scene made them feel even more romantic.
The human brain is amazing. At this moment, different melodies resonated in everyone's mind, but they were all the melodies that moved them the most.
Fufu was moved. She had worked with Ge Chen before, and with her own high level of musical literacy, she instantly conjured up a lot of sounds in her mind.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the 'Lantern Festival gift' given by Lin Qiu; it was romantic and touching.
Although it might seem a bit cruel to shed tears during the Lunar New Year, these are tears of emotion, so they are acceptable.
Yes, everyone thought the story ended there, since the Lantern Festival was over.
Turning the page revealed another entry: 'In front of others, behind others'.
The story takes place on the second day of the Lantern Festival, when Walnut invites everyone to a dinner party at Crescent Moon Pavilion.
This immediately reminded readers of Gui Zhong, who also enjoyed inviting friends and family to small gatherings.
When the travelers arrived at Xinyue Pavilion, Xiangling, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Zhongli had already been chatting for a while.
When immortals gather together, they like to boast about what they are good at.
When these talented young people get together, they tend to praise others for what they are good at.
Xiangling and Xingqiu were praising Zhongli's cooking skills.
Zhongli: "Not at all. You are all talented young people, each with your own strengths. I also have areas where I am inferior, and I should learn from you all."
After learning Zhongli's identity, everyone was at a loss for words when they saw this statement.
Chongyun also mentioned exorcism magic to Zhongli, wanting to learn a thing or two.
[Zhongli: "Exorcists? I can only say I have some knowledge in this area. If you don't mind, we can slowly..."]
A smattering of knowledge? The readers were stunned. Not just the readers, even the demon god would be stunned.
If you've dabbled in this, then what are we? Have we even scratched the surface?
The arrival of the Traveler and Paimon interrupted the conversation between the group and Zhongli, and then they began to chat with the Traveler.
After asking around, I learned that they had just been talking about cooking, because Xiangling had come up with some more 'wonderful dishes'.
Normally, it's Chongyun who does the tasting (and poisoning) of the dishes, but with Zhongli's 'guidance' this time, the experimental dishes he makes will most likely not be too bad.
So Xingqiu immediately suggested, "Why don't I try the dishes this time?"
I'll eat the good stuff, and give the bad stuff to Chongyun, hehehe.
At this moment, Paimon also discovered the blind spot: where was Walnut, the organizer of this gathering and the one who set up the scheme?
Xiangling told Paimon that Hu Tao had gone to pick up a guest and should be back soon.
Readers couldn't help but wonder, who exactly was it that required Hu Tao to personally pick them up?
This isn't about identity; it's just that how many people in Liyue don't know the location of Crescent Moon Lodge? They need someone else to pick them up.
Just as I was getting curious, the next paragraph described how the guest room door was pushed open with a 'bang,' and a gust of wind rushed in.
"Wind!" the readers exclaimed. "Could it be the Wind God from next door?"
It's understandable to associate this with the Anemo Archon, since he often appears outside of Mondstadt.
However, although the wind was loud, it was not caused by the wind god, but simply by the force with which Hu Tao pushed the door open.
[Hu Tao: "Ta-da! We're here!"]
"You're not late, are you? You're not late, are you?"
"Yes, thankfully the Great Sage and I are both as swift as the wind, the timing was perfect."
Even just reading the words, the lively feeling of Walnut is palpable.
Upon seeing the words "Great Sage," readers would know who to pick up. Indeed, it's highly likely that Xiao Shangxian wouldn't know where Xinyuexuan is.
Paimon was also surprised to see Xiao: "!"
Xiao glanced at the Traveler, Paimon, and then at Zhongli: "!"

Character Voice Lines - Xiao: About 'Public and Private'
"...The Emperor was very happy watching it, and I...am happy too."
Chapter 349 The Emperor Buys Sesame Oil
Xiao was already thinking of running away, but why is the Emperor here too? He didn't notify me beforehand!
Help! I went to a party and ran into my boss, but he's pretending not to know me.
To put it another way, the boss even found himself a boss!
I'm done playing, I've committed some bad karma, I won't bother you anymore, I'm leaving.
In real life, Xiao also realized what he was about to experience and seemed to lose his 'courage' in an instant.
This is different from reality. In the story, the emperor's identity is not exposed, so he has to help conceal it. Just thinking about it is torturous.
The traveler was also somewhat surprised: "!"
She was also surprised that Xiao would attend this kind of gathering; it didn't seem like an event he would agree to participate in.
Tell me the truth, did Hu Tao threaten you with Zhong Li?
My lord, you wouldn't want your emperor to have his salary docked, would you?
Zhongli rose and clasped his hands in greeting: "So our honored guest is the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons! It's an honor to have heard so much about you."
Reader: ...That's indeed a long time.
I never expected that the Emperor is such a veteran actor. No, wait, his looks are more like those of a young heartthrob.
He's definitely a young heartthrob, but his acting skills aren't quite there yet. Why did he act so indifferent when he saw the Monkey King?
This is... cough cough, disrespectful to the Emperor.
Zhongli sighed, "The Hall Master didn't mention it when he arranged this small gathering. I never expected that the guests would include not only young heroes, but also the Golden Roc Immortal who maintains peace throughout Liyue."
"The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, the Golden Roc Immortal..." Xiao covered his forehead, feeling a little dizzy.
I never imagined that one day I would be addressed so respectfully by the Emperor. This is truly disrespectful to the Immortal Ancestor.
He has good mental fortitude; at least he can 'stay calm' and won't reveal the Emperor's identity by showing too much respect for him.
If it were Kujo Sara who was treated like this by Kage, she would immediately become wet with sweat, I mean, get a nosebleed, and frantically say "I am terrified," which would immediately reveal that Kage's identity is extraordinary.
It's fortunate that Xiao is a quiet kid.
Zhongli continued, "It is truly an honor to be able to gather with everyone here."
Readers smiled wryly, wondering who was really in the limelight.
[Xiao: "Uh..."]
Lin Qiu drew a close-up of Xiao, his speechlessness written all over his face.
Xiao was already a man of few words, and this left him speechless, completely unsure how to handle the situation.
The person is still standing here, but their soul has already flown away for a while.
At this moment, Xiao, who is lost in thought, inserts a flashback.
On this day, Zhongli suddenly came to see him. Xiao was very puzzled. Why would the Emperor come at this time, so close to the festival? Was there some urgent matter?
Xiao was somewhat serious; on this festive occasion, they absolutely could not allow monsters to cause trouble.
Those who offend Liyue will be vanquished by Xiao!
However, Zhongli only sighed:
"Sigh, the sect leader's temperament is really hard for me to handle..."
Xiao was even more puzzled. What was the hall master's personality like? What did this have to do with that other hall master? What on earth was causing him such distress?
Your Majesty, do not worry, but look at this spear!
Hu Tao pouted in dissatisfaction. "What are you saying! What kind of talk is this! What's wrong with my temperament? I am naturally beautiful, innocent, and have unparalleled beauty!"
Lin Qiu and Hu Tao had already heard what Zhong Li said. Lin Qiu said, "Negative reviews, don't look at them."
Zhong Li: "The sect leader instructed me to purchase sesame oil for the festival."
【elf:"...?"】
reader:...?
Pantalone: ...?
Sesame oil?
[“Then how did the Emperor manage to walk all the way to Wangshu Inn…?”]
Yes! That's exactly what we wanted to ask! Why do we have to go all the way to Wangshu Inn to buy sesame oil? Does Liyue Harbor no longer sell sesame oil? Liyue Harbor is doomed!
And what about Tadalia? Can't he even buy sesame oil?
