"Ouch, my head hurts so much. Where am I?" Because Xiao hadn't used particularly strong force, Hu Tao didn't stay unconscious for long before waking up. "Hmm? Traveler, smells so good! Great! You didn't wake me up when you had something delicious to eat, how awful!" After saying that, Hu Tao felt a chill, sneezed, and then fire elements slowly enveloped her before she took a step with her slender, snow-white legs and walked into the air.
"Hu Tao, you're awake! Here, would you like to try this radish and vegetable soup?" After hearing the noise, Kong took out another bowl of radish and vegetable soup from his bag. Smelling the aroma of the soup, Hu Tao's stomach growled. Without any hesitation, she took the soup from Kong's hand, drank it, and instantly felt warm all over.
Wendy ordered the Wind God's Stew, but Sora immediately handed her the real Wind God's Stew instead. Looking at Wendy's blinking eyes, Sora smiled and said, "Is there a problem with you eating your own cooking?" "Hey, Traveler, you can't do this to me! I'm so tired of this, and you're giving me this again!" Wendy pleaded. "Let's get something else, okay? Okay? Okay~" "Ahem." Xiao, who was slowly eating almond tofu, coughed a few times after hearing Wendy's pleading.
Paimon looked up from the thick vegetable stew and stared at Xiao, asking in confusion, "Hey, Xiao, are you sick?" "Nothing." Xiao lowered his head, his expression unreadable. Wendy, ever perceptive, immediately sensed it and grinned at Paimon, "Hehe, it's alright, don't worry. Xiao is the Great Sage Who Slays Demons, he won't get sick!" "Uh... I... um." Xiao nodded slightly, which Paimon, oblivious, didn't notice.
Kong chuckled softly. He had already noticed something amiss; Wendy and Xiao were definitely having an affair! However, it was quite unusual that the two of them got together, and that Zhongli hadn't gone to cause trouble for Wendy.
After thinking about it, I figured Wendy could suppress Xiao's karma, which is why I entrusted Xiao to her with peace of mind.

Zhongli of Teyvat was sipping hot tea in the Hall of Rebirth, while D'Artagnan was diligently cleaning. "Sir, isn't this a bit much?" D'Artagnan said, washing and setting the rags down, feeling a little resentful as he looked at Zhongli lounging around with his legs crossed. "Generally speaking, young master, you dirtied the Hall of Rebirth last night, so naturally you should do the cleaning." "It's all because you're so handsome, sir," D'Artagnan muttered, continuing his work.
Zhongli naturally heard Datalia's mutterings, but he just smiled. Although his waist was still a little sore, it was nothing serious. A demon god's body could always recover quickly. Otherwise, by mortal standards, Datalia would have been unable to withstand it.
Thinking of the Demon God, Zhongli gazed thoughtfully at the tea he had brewed that day, his amber pupils utterly calm. That little girl from that time—she actually managed to escape despite his and Barbatos's combined efforts. Although Barbatos and he certainly held back somewhat, they had still taken it very seriously, yet she still managed to escape…
Furthermore, the managers are also quite capable; it seems Su Bai's team is exceptionally strong...
“Sir, I’m done!” D'Artagnan looked to be in excellent spirits. Zhongli secretly admired D'Artagnan’s stamina; he had managed to fully recover his energy after only a short rest following an entire night of exercise. “Young Master… um, no, I’ll just call you Ajax.” Zhongli poured out the cold tea and made a fresh cup. He keenly sensed that D'Artagnan’s body was slightly stiff, but it quickly relaxed. “Haha, sir, you’re quite the joker.” D'Artagnan seemed not to have taken his words to heart.
In reality, a storm was raging inside me.
“No, Ajax, I’m calling your name very seriously.” Zhongli brewed another pot of tea, then thought for a moment, a bottle of kerosene suddenly appeared in his hand, he patted the table and said, “Won’t you come and talk, Ajax?” D’Artagnan’s smile faded and he walked to the opposite side of Zhongli.

As for the seriously injured girl, Sora took out the all-purpose Teyvat Egg and stuffed it directly into the girl's mouth.
Fortunately, the girl was still able to swallow, and the Teyvat omelet pulled her back from the brink of death.
"Hmm..." The girl slowly woke up and saw a blond boy and a floating object in the air. In the distance, two other boys were chatting and laughing, and a girl was intently eating. "Hey, are you awake?" Kong waved his hand in front of the girl's eyes, since she didn't seem to be fully awake. "Thank you, you are..." The girl finally reacted and quickly thanked them, only belatedly realizing that they were all dressed very lightly.
"Ah!" Then, the girl was startled by Paimon.
"Waaaaah... Paimon's ears are going to go deaf!" Paimon quickly covered his ears. The girl's scream was a deadly weapon; its penetrating power was no joke. Kong seemed alright, but her brows were furrowed, and she didn't seem to be in any discomfort either. "Haha, aren't you going to comfort her?" Wendy teased Xiao. Xiao turned his head away coldly and said, "The karma on my body is harmful to mortals." "Hey, if you ask me, you're just cold on the outside but warm on the inside. You actually really want to go, right?" Wendy said with a smile.
"Oh my, my friend, you're so familiar with Xiao! Are you also a member of the sorcerer clan like Chongyun?" Hu Tao was shocked. She quickly moved closer to Wendy, looked him up and down, and then dismissed her own guess. "No, no, no, you look like a Mondstadt person. Wendy, what did you do to Xiao?"
“I just played a few beautiful tunes. If Master Hu would like to learn, I can teach you. Ah, of course, all you have to do is buy me a few glasses of good wine.” Wendy replied with a smile. Hu Tao seemed to think it was feasible and nodded, saying, “It’s just a few glasses of good wine, not worth much Mora. Unlike my guest, who costs millions of Mora at a time. Luckily, I have Tartaglia, otherwise, I couldn’t afford to support him.”
Zhongli, far away in Teyvat, sneezed twice.
"Okay, I'll teach you next time I go to Liyue," Wendy said.
And so, the two of them began working together happily.
Xiao hesitated to speak, then could only sigh silently.
