Chapter 49 (Exclusive Release on Jinjiang Literature City)
Jingyuan stayed at Wangshu Inn for seven days before leaving.
Xiao did not reappear until Jingyuan left.
Not only did Xiao not appear, but Wendy was also nowhere to be found.
Jingyuan had no interest in prying into other people's private affairs. The only reason he mentioned the world of sorcery to Xiao was to report it to the higher-ups in Liyue.
He needed to let the higher-ups in Liyue know that he, as an outsider, posed no threat to Liyue. Only in this way could his journey continue without hindrance.
Wangshu Inn is a nice place, but the scenery in front of it is even more attractive to Jingyuan.
After packing their luggage, Jingyuan, along with Mimi, said goodbye to the boss, Phil Goddart, and the other staff.
He got along well with them during his stay, especially Mimi, who became their darling. Even Yanxiao, who has a bad temper, liked Mimi very much.
Yanxiao was quite reluctant to part with Mimi after hearing that she was leaving. She hugged and kissed her repeatedly and gave her a lot of fried dried fish.
Mimi rubbed against Yanxiao reluctantly, making Yanxiao covered in fur.
"Don't forget me," Yan Xiao said.
Mimi meowed in a sickeningly sweet voice.
It has a good memory and will not forget anyone who has been kind to it.
After leaving Wangshu Inn, Jingyuan led Mimi towards Liyue Harbor.
Strangely enough, this world doesn't seem particularly backward, but on Jingyuan's journey from Mondstadt to Liyue, he didn't see any proper means of transportation. The most common sight was hot air balloons made of wind slimes.
Could it be that the emergence of elemental power has caused the people of this world to evolve to the point where they no longer need transportation? That doesn't make sense either. People who can use elemental power basically all have the Eye of God, but those who possess the Eye of God are extremely rare, and they are considered key combat forces in every country.
"It seems this world is hiding many secrets," Jing Yuan said.
"Mimi~" Mimi agreed.
As a kitten, Mimi possesses a strong sense of curiosity. In addition, as a growable cursed creature, it is much stronger than a normal cat. Sometimes, when it encounters a treasure-hunting gang, it can handle it on its own without Jing Yuan having to lift a finger.
This new world excited Mimi. She would climb trees one moment and jump onto the Hilichurls' watchtower the next. If it weren't for the difference in species, Jingyuan even suspected that Mimi would howl like a wolf a few times.
Seeing how happy it was, Jingyuan slowed down and let Mimi run around exploring the world.
About two hours later, Mimi got tired.
The mischievous kitten lay down on the ground and insisted that Jingyuan carry it.
Jingyuan, being a doting father, disregarded the fact that it was midday and people were sweating profusely from the heat. He carried Mimi around like a child, searching for a cool spot to rest.
He was lucky; he found a cave with a frozen tree inside.
With their formidable strength, the frozen tree, which ordinary people would avoid at all costs, became Jingyuan and Mimi's air conditioner. Even its branches and leaves were woven by Jingyuan into bracelets and straw hats.
For aesthetic purposes, Jingyuan also picked many sweet flowers and mint to decorate the area.
Mimi found it amusing and pestered Jingyuan to make her a straw hat, but Jingyuan was afraid she would catch a cold, so no matter how much she begged and rolled around, he refused. In the end, Mimi stuck out her tail.
Jingyuan knew that it was indicating that he should wrap the cooling wreath around its tail, so he asked, "Will wrapping the branches and leaves around your tail affect your movement?"
Mimi shook her head.
It's no ordinary kitten; it's quite formidable.
After confirming that it wouldn't affect Mimi's movements, Jingyuan made several more mini flower wreaths and put them on the tips of Mimi's tail.
Mimi moved around a bit and found that she no longer felt hot when she moved. Then she happily meowed around Jingyuan and even licked Jingyuan's fingers with her tongue.
"Are you that happy?" Jing Yuan looked at it with a smile.
Mimi nodded.
"You're too easily satisfied." Scratching its chin, Jingyuan took out the Jade Bracelet and gave Mimi a ten-shot slap.
Since getting a cat, Jing Yuanyu's photo album is almost entirely filled with pictures of Mimi.
"General, you're being unfair!" When they last met, Yanqing clung pitifully to Jingyuan's arm. "Your photos aren't even in your album anymore."
"Because I exported them," Jingyuan said, "and there wasn't enough memory."
Yan Qing sneered: "It was because I was not worthy."
Jing Yuan: "..."
Jingyuan helplessly rubbed the blond head and explained, "Gojo-kun sends me too many messages every day. He's the first guy to make my Jade Sign lag."
When Gojo Satoru was mentioned, Yanqing was speechless.
He didn't dislike Gojo Satoru, but Gojo Satoru was just too lively and unruly, and he loved to play pranks on people. Honest people like Yanqing had been pranked several times.
“He also messed up my jade tablet,” Yanqing sighed. “He really talks a lot.”
We've gone off on a tangent.
A person and a cat who had obtained a cooling device lay together for a midday nap until evening, when they were woken up by a lost wild boar.
Mimi opened her mouth and yawned, revealing the classic cat-snake emoji, and then stretched her front and hind legs.
"Are you hungry?" Jingyuan asked.
Mimi shook her head; she had just woken up and wasn't hungry at all.
Jingyuan said, "I'm not hungry either."
Thus, the wild boar was lucky enough to survive and was upgraded to a mount.
As a chef who travels around searching for ingredients, Xiangling considers herself to have seen a lot of things, but she has never seen anything like the scene before her.
A wild boar, as tall as two people, charged rapidly toward her from a distance. Before Xiangling could draw her spear to defend herself, she discovered that its neck and snout were bound with ropes, and the white mass on its back was actually a person.
As the distance closed, Xiangling realized that it was an adult man.
The man was handsome and wore a blue straw hat. Xiangling, with her sharp eyes, recognized it as a branch of a frozen tree.
A long-haired lion cat was perched on his shoulder.
The lion cat's fur is white, just like a man's, and it wears a pair of small, round black sunglasses on its nose, making it look extremely cool.
The man clearly noticed that she was in his path, so he pulled on the reins, gradually slowing the wild boar down until the two were about three meters apart, at which point the boar came to a complete stop.
The man sitting on the wild boar's back raised his hand to greet her, his voice clearly tinged with amusement: "Hello."
"Hello," Xiangling replied instinctively.
"Meow~" the lion cat also meowed at her.
"Uh... Hello to you too." Xiangling greeted the lion cat as well.
Jingyuan placed Mimi on the wild boar's head and squatted down. He then climbed off the boar and smiled somewhat embarrassedly at Xiangling: "Did I scare you? Sorry."
"No, no!" Xiangling quickly waved her hand.
She was just a little shocked that someone would use food as a mount and a hat, but she had to admit, it was a really good idea.
In a flash, Xiangling had already figured out how to use the frozen tree to decorate her dining room.
In this sweltering summer, the presence of the ice tree will surely make guests feel comfortable. Moreover, the leaves of the ice tree can perhaps be used to make tea, and the branches can be made into tableware or used as a garnish in dishes. The ice core can be embroidered on my father's apron, so that he will no longer be drenched in sweat while cooking...
Xiangling became more and more excited as she thought about it, and she cupped her cheeks with both hands and let out a giggle.
Her condition reminded Jing Yuan of that lively and adorable Star Core Spirit.
If Xing were here, he would definitely become good friends with this girl.
Xiangling quickly came to her senses and asked Jingyuan with some curiosity why he used a wild boar as a mount.
"I just think it runs pretty fast and is convenient for getting around," Jingyuan said.
Xiangling expressed her understanding: "Its meat is very chewy, so it must run fast."
Jingyuan: "?"
