Chapter 34: Disbelief is also a kind of belief. So Liyue only has the Emperor's Kitchen and...

Before leaving, Yiran returned to the bamboo house and took out two portions of freshly prepared water slime gel and pudding made of sweet almonds.

One was a gift that he asked Kong to bring to the immortal of Wangshu Inn in his name, and the other was a reward for the traveler and Paimon.

I think if you two want to see the immortal as soon as possible, you still need the help of the things you made.

While Kong was looking for someone at Wangshu Inn, Yiran returned to Liyue Harbor.

There haven't been any major changes in Liyue Harbor. Even though some idle people can be seen whispering in the streets from time to time, the people still do their own jobs and work non-stop.

Yiran sorted out his thoughts and went back to Diqing Pavilion.

Childe Tartaglia's mission has basically been completed. As the only outsider who knows the nature of the abyss creatures in Fenrir, he spent several days stuffing common sense about humans, how to disguise themselves as humans without any flaws, and some simple common characters in Teyvat into Fenrir.

He also swept up a few miscellaneous books and dictionaries from the Wanwen Collection, including "Encyclopedia of Teyvat", "Human Social Psychology", "A Study of Liyue Customs and Culture", "Preface to The Walking Dead with the Gods", etc., and then threw them in the store, leaving it all up to Fenrike to figure things out on his own.

But perhaps because he had stayed in the cold, lonely chaos for too long, the boy also showed great enthusiasm for this knowledge, and his enthusiasm for learning was comparable to the young master's fanatical attitude towards fighting.

After confirming that there were no major problems with the young master's child's education, Yiran personally told him the things that needed to be paid attention to in managing the store and decided to officially open the store in a few days.

Of course, the official opening of the store is just talk, and Diqing Pavilion has not refused customers in the past two days. However, antiques are not like the processed jewelry and jade in Mingxingzhai. The price is higher and the flow of people is small. In addition, the store is remote, so Fenric only needs to speak up and deal with people when they come. He just wants to have a good place to negotiate and drink tea with specific people when necessary.

After earnestly praising and encouraging Fenrie's learning achievements, Yiran temporarily left the store and prepared to purchase some supplies needed for the immortal sending ceremony in advance.

At the Jie Cui Hang stall in the center of the market, the owner, Shi Tou, smiled and looked in fear at the white-haired man approaching from a distance.

"Sir, why are you here again?"

He complained cautiously with a grim face: "Alas... Sir, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but you see, I'm also a small business. Since the General Affairs Department sealed off the Stratosphere Abyss, the raw materials are almost more valuable than the finished products. That's why I thought of taking out the raw stones directly and using the stone gambling method to attract customers..."

"But there is not much raw material after all. Every time you make a move, you can accurately pick out the stones with good jade inside, resulting in nothing good in the remaining rough stones. The big customers who come later can't get anything useful out of them. But you quickly complained to me, and I almost brought people from the General Affairs Department to seal it up..."

"Oh?" Yiran looked with interest at the boss who was trying his best to arouse his sympathy.

"But since you are the boss of this business, you should have the good stuff taken away by knowledgeable customers. You should appease the consciousness of those who come later. If the quality of your products is good and you don't use any unprofessional tricks, then you should not be afraid of the investigation of the General Affairs Department."

He smiled kindly but cunningly:

"Or are you rejecting Bai simply because I'm a hindrance to your financial success?"

Shitou twitched his lips. That's not the case. The only one who made money from this deal was the man in front of him. After that, many people who opened rough stones here only had bad luck. If the news spread over time, this business would become difficult to do...!

Yiran shook his head, squinted his eyes and smiled faintly:

"Okay, no more jokes. I'm not here to cut rough stones this time. I'm here to buy a batch of Yebo stones. So, do you still welcome me?"

Stone:!!!

"Haha, sir! I am narrow-minded, please don't mind! May I ask what quality of Yebo Stone you need? Don't worry, you don't need to choose this time, the quality must be excellent!"

Yiran: "The quality... should be at least candlelight quality."

Shitou rubbed his hands and said, "Great! You are indeed an experienced guest. Take a look at these night mooring stones. They are definitely eye-catching at night. Even Lord Yan said they are good!"

Yiran nodded without further comment, making up for a reasonable request that someone in the game had not fulfilled:

"That's fine, boss. I want them all."

“Okay, okay!”

Shitou excitedly packed up all the good-quality Yebo stones in his hands, intending to send someone to deliver the things to Yiran's residence personally later.

And he decided that he would never again reject this customer who not only had good taste but was also wealthy and generous.

It was not until the other party mentioned the address of Songlan Chamber of Commerce that Shitou suddenly realized what was happening when he saw Yiran walking away. He had always heard that the newly emerged Songlan Chamber of Commerce in Liyue Harbor had a president who was extremely perceptive, knowledgeable, decisive, and resourceful, and who also looked extraordinary. Could it be...

Of course, this couldn't be the only shop selling Yebo Stone, but as a super wealthy Chamber of Commerce president, even though it might not be necessary, he still chose to send people to buy them all, and the excess ones would be processed and sold together later.

In addition to the Yebo Stone, Yiran also went to Wanyoupu, found Bo Lai who sold colorful flowers, and bought all the "Piao Miao Xian Yuan" with a faint but long-lasting fragrance.

Finally, she skipped the steps of making ointment and hiring labor, and went to a toy stall to customize seven kites representing the seven countries in advance. She then asked the stall owner, Ashanpo, to give them to her. If anyone else wanted to customize kites representing the seven countries for the fairy ceremony, she would give the seven kites directly to them.

"The ceremony of sending off the immortals... Lord Yan really is..."

Ashanpo looked at the calm man in front of her and sighed.

"Forget it. I have been making kites in Liyue for forty years. I know exactly what the seven kites should look like. Just leave it to me."

Yiran said in a gentle tone: "I will pay the balance together. I'll leave it to you, Ashanpo."

At the same time, the traveler Kong finally completed the communication with the demon-conquering Great Sage Xiao. Unexpectedly, the other party did not seem to know anything about the True Lord Yin Yuan Tawu in Jueyunjian.

Xiao held the Slime Almond Pudding in his hand and shook his head absentmindedly:

"I have never heard of such an immortal in Jueyunjian."

Paimon: "Ah? But this was given to you by the immortal who knew we were coming to see you. I thought you two knew each other!"

null:?

How could it be so weird...were all the things they saw before just hallucinations?

He took out the pass given to him by the immortal from his space backpack, and after confirming its existence, he put it back.

Xiao was silent for two seconds:

"Maybe he is a newly born fairy in Jueyunjian? Or maybe he is an immortal who has been living in seclusion in the mountains for thousands of years and doesn't want to see people."

Paimon: "That immortal doesn't seem to be a self-contained person..."

Sora explained: "He said he would spend most of his time living in Liyue Harbor."

Xiao nodded. He didn't know the origin of this immortal, but he had lived in Liyue Harbor for many years. No wonder he could make such a dessert that was full of beautiful emotions and suited his taste.

At that moment, he even saw countless people who were working hard in Liyue Harbor, including workers shouting while unloading goods at the dock, children playing and fighting on the streets, waiters smiling and greeting customers in shops, and leisurely people listening to books, drinking tea, admiring flowers and walking birds at the end of the alley.

It was like a beautiful dream that he had vaguely wanted to touch countless times over the past thousand years, but had to stay away from.

It’s just… the back of that brown-haired, golden-eyed girl…

Is it the Emperor?

He has followed Emperor Rock King for thousands of years. Over the years, the other party's appearance has changed again and again, but he can be recognized as long as he meets him once.

He came to his senses and asked Kong, "What do you want to talk to me about this time?"

Kong hurriedly told the immortal his purpose of coming.

"…The Emperor was murdered?"

Xiao asked with a strange look on his face.

He hesitated and stuffed himself with another mouthful of slime almond pudding. Hmm...

The beautiful and leisurely scene formed a strong contrast with the other party's topic. Xiao thought silently:

Is this a message from the immortal I have never heard of?

The taste of the dessert proves that it was made not long ago, perhaps telling himself that the emperor is currently in a safe state.

Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, if the other party had not reminded him, he would most likely not believe the fact that the Emperor was killed.

After working and getting along with each other for so many years, and relying on his understanding and trust in the Emperor, he would rather believe that the Emperor had some new ideas, and he just needs to try his best to cooperate.

But there will never be such complete peace and security as it is now.

He said:

"For all these years, I have never imagined Liyue without the Geo King.

How did the current situation come about? Whether there were seven stars that induced this to happen, I will go find Liuyun, Xieyue, and Lishui later to make a decision together."

Sora nodded.

Outside the screen, the players who watched the beautiful fairy eat without changing their expression upon hearing that the emperor was killed...

"He's so calm..."

"These immortals are really something. At the beginning, the three of them were able to react a little, and their voices were several degrees higher. Later, Yinyuan Tawu's attitude was clearly disbelief. Here, they just... started to ignore us."

"Xiao: You talk, I'll continue eating."

"Oh, the emperor was killed, the almond pudding is so delicious."

"Haha, I didn't ignore it. Didn't I say later that I would take this matter seriously? It's just that my reaction seemed a little cold."

"Cold Immortal, I understand."

"Don't panic when something happens, show off first"

"It makes me feel that we need to take our time with the Emperor's murder. In the classic story, the eunuchs were not in a hurry when the Emperor died, but the common people from foreign countries were in a hurry."

"The main thing is that this foreign peasant is still a suspect in the murder of the emperor."

"I want to try that slime almond pudding too... What should I use to make it?"

"Xiao is so pretty"

"Fairy, please save my life. I am willing to repay you with my body! (Crawling in the dark)"

After Yiran had bought all the things he needed in Liyue Harbor, Kong was teleported back to Liyue Harbor from Wangshu Inn and went to the entrance of Northern Bank to find the young master who was waiting for them.

After receiving the information from Sora about Ryuun, Zegetsu, Risui, Yinyuan and the Great Sage, Tartaglia also shared her own news with the traveler.

"Ancestor Dharma?"

Dadalia shrugged and said, "Yeah... At this critical moment, the Ancestral Magician was hidden by the Seven Stars. This is really a very suspicious thing. Hmm... Where will it be placed now..."

...After Yiran's reminder, Kong instantly thought of the matter of the Fatui trying to seize the Heart of God. Is Young Master also looking for the ancestor Fagui for the same purpose?

However, since he also had the goal of finding all seven gods and needed to further confirm that Rock God was not the god who took away his blood relatives, Sora agreed to the young master's help.

...waiting for the young master to help him find an important person who can break the deadlock and meet the ancestor Fa Li.
