After all, Ying still embarked on a new journey.

With Paimon, he boarded Hokuto's Death Omen Star and followed the Southern Cross fleet to Inazuma.

Similarly, she also carried the two items that Wang Daoyi handed over to her.

Zhongli's condensed pale golden arcane chain crystals and the thirty-six prismatic crystals containing the consciousness of the royal road.

Feeling the crystallization of consciousness quickly moving away from him, Wang Daoyi had a satisfied look on his face.

Even if his little plan is started, when his martial arts are completed, he should go to Sumeru.

······

November 2nd, Xiangling's birthday.

On this day, Wanmin Hall was rarely open, and the friends gathered here to prepare a birthday dinner for Xiangling in the evening.

"Boiled fish, boiled fish, there must be boiled fish at dinner."

Hall Master Hu shouted happily, although Sister Lan still did not agree to cooperate with the Hall of the Dead recently, she did not resist, many adventurers signed an agreement with the Hall of the Dead alone, so Hall Master Hu was very happy recently.

Tonight's chef is Wang Daoyi, and he is asking everyone to provide the dishes that need to be prepared for the evening.

"Although you don't need to think about Xiangling's hobby, but, Master Hu, as soon as you open your mouth, you will be the boiled fish you like, it's too direct."

Xingqiu held a book in his hand and complained about Hu Tao.

Hu Tao flashed plum blossom eyes, and raised his chin arrogantly: "Hmph, what do you know, Xiangling likes to eat hot and spicy and fragrant fish the most, and boiled fish is definitely in line." ”

As a person who scares Xiangling every once in a while, Hu Tao knows Xiangling's taste very well.

As she said, Xiangling nodded cooperatively: "The boiled fish is indeed very delicious, and I never get tired of eating it." ”

In fact, Xiangling loves everything.

Seeing that Xiangling agreed with her statement, Hu Tao opened her hands and hugged Xiangling: "Hey, Xiangling stickers." ”

"Ah, save me!" Xiangling exclaimed, and then was hugged by Hu Tao.

The pot was rolling on the side, and when he heard the shout, he turned his head to look at the cheerful everyone, and also showed a happy smile: "Purr ~ ヾ (≧▽≦*)o"

Write down the name of the boiled fish on the recipe and look at the others.

Xingqiu held the book: "Since Master Hu has started, then everyone will come according to their own preferences." ”

Then he looked at Wang Daoyi: "I want a pastry, and then I will have some moon vegetables and seafood, lighter." ”

Wang Dao nodded and wrote down.

Some people set an example, and other friends also spoke up.

Chongyun: "Cold noodles, super large bowls, and preferably ice cream." ”

"Okay, I'll make a note of it."

Yanfei: "I want to eat tofu, any tofu can be." ”

"Then almond tofu and spicy tofu, and then add a meat foam tofu to you."

Although there is no tofu in almond tofu

Xin Yan: "Then I'll have some meat dishes with heavy oil." ”

"Okay, prepare a braised pork for Ling, the soup is very beautiful, and I will give you a fried pork slices with jueyun peppers, and I will definitely have rice."

Yaoyao: "Yaoyao also wants to eat seafood, but don't want the big octopus." ”

"Okay, prepare a big lobster for Yaoyao to eat."

Keqing: "Then I'll want the golden shrimp balls." ”

"Okay, I know you like this, it's already written."

Yun Jin: "Well, Tianshu meat, boiled blackback perch, dry pot bacon, these are usually not edible, take the opportunity to try them today." ”

"Okay, leave it to me, I promise to keep you satisfied."

Wang Daoyi wrote down the dishes that his friends wanted to eat, and then added a few more home-cooked dishes that Xiangling usually liked, and handed the book to Master Mao on the side.

Today, Wang Daoyi is a chef, Master Mao is a handful, and Xiangling entertains friends.

Master Mao took the menu with a smile, glanced at it, and then said to Wang Daoyi: "Give me the materials, and someone will send them over in a while." ”

Wang Dao nodded, and then looked at Xiangling: "My uncle and I are going to prepare, you can entertain everyone." ”

In fact, there is no need for Wang Daoyi's instructions, and the walnut on one side has already begun to pull people to start the game.

She is the hall master, and she has been practicing her card skills outside for a long time, and she is finally about to show her might.

So, Hu Tao, pulling Xiangling, Yun Jin, and Xin Yan began to play cards.

Yanfei and Chongyun chatted about the fairy family anecdotes, Yaoyao and Guoba listened on the side, with light in their eyes, these two babies, like these fairy family stories.

And Xingqiu held the scroll and read it carefully, this is what he has been looking for for a long time, and he has been reading it for the past two days, and he can't release the scroll.

Only Keqing, in order to be able to come to the banquet today, she worked overtime yesterday and did all the work today, and now she is a little sleepy and rests alone.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the Hall.

Chongyun moved quickly, opened the door, and saw a postman standing at the door.

"Hello, Wanmin Tang's email."

The postman handed Chongyun a piece of mail and a small package.

Chongyun took the package and the mail, and looked at it, and the shipping address was Mondstadt's.

Seeing the postman leave, Chongyun returned to the house with the mail and packages.

Everyone looked at Chongyun: "Chongyun, who is it?" ”

Raised the mail and package in his hand and gestured to everyone, and then handed it to Xiangling: "It's mail." ”

Xiangling took the thing and looked at it, and the email clearly stated that it was required to be sent to Wanmin Hall on November 2.

He looked surprised: "The email from Mondstadt may be a friend I met when Brother Dao and I were traveling in Mondstadt. ”

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Xiangling opened the mail, and there were several pieces of letter paper inside.

——

Xiangling pro-enlightenment:

Xiangling, I'm Diona, I remember that your birthday is coming, so I prepared a gift for you, just put it in the package, fragrant, you will definitely like it.

Also, when are you going to come to Mondstadt again, I really want to eat your food, and my father also said that the cooperation with Wanmintang has made the meat products in Qingquan Town a big seller, and everyone is very grateful to you, they were going to send you a lot of meat products, but unfortunately, the package definitely can't fit it, so I refused.

In addition, I still haven't been able to make bad drinks, including the recipes you taught me, and I still can't get my dad to quit drinking, which is really disgusting.

Oh, I have a lot more to say to you, and when you come back to Mondstadt, I'll make you the best drink.

Finally, I wish you a happy birthday.

Your friend: Diona

October 23rd

Xiangling pro-enlightenment:

Xiangling, I'm Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if you and Your Excellency Wang Daoyi are okay, I heard from the little bartender at the Cattail Tavern that your birthday is coming, so everyone in the Knights also prepared a little care for you, it was some meaningful little things, and handed them over to the little bartender.

I wrote a thank you letter to Liyue's Heavenly Power Ningguang to thank you and Your Excellency Wang Daoyi for your help, and I wonder if she thanked me for it.

In addition, Mr. Draff from Qingquan Town asked the Knights to express my gratitude to Wanmintang for promoting the meat products of Qingquan Town.

I still have work to do, so I won't write more.

Finally, I wish you a happy birthday.

Acting Head of the Knights of Favonius: Jean

October 24th

Xiangling pro-enlightenment:

Happy birthday, I commissioned the people of the caravan to send some precious fruit wine to Wanmintang, I hope you will like it.

Château Mondstadt: Diluc

October 25th

——

Xiangling looked at the three letters, and a touch appeared in her eyes, and during her short journey in Mondstadt, she met the kitten bartender, and also participated in the Stormterror crusade with Wang Daoyi.

Although she felt that several of Mondstadt's friends were friends, she was very touched that the other party could remember her birthday and prepared an email in advance for someone to send it to her on her birthday.

The other friends looked at Xiangling with a touched look, although they didn't read what was written in the letter, they could also guess that it was those friends in Mondstadt who moved Xiangling.

"It seems that you and Doichi made very good friends during your trip to Mondstadt." Yun Jin said.

Xiangling nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect them to remember my birthday." Very impressed. ”

It was the pot, and he stretched out his little short hand to reach the package on the table.

"Smack." Patting off the little hand of the pot, Xiangling picked up the package, "The pot, don't open it now, wait until the evening, you can open the gift." ”

Guoba touched his hand aggrievedly, and he just smelled the strange fragrance in the package.

Solemnly put away the letter, put the gift package out of the reach of the pot, everyone continued to play, and the atmosphere returned to its original happy and happy appearance.

Time passed, and with the help of Master Mao, Wang Daoyi first completed Chongyun's popsicles and made various fruit juice drinks for chilling.

Then the dishes are made one by one, and the smell from the kitchen quickly attracts everyone from continuing to play.

They all crowded to the kitchen door and watched Wang Daoyi cook.

"Xiangling, Daoyi, has he always been so good at cooking?" Watching Wang Dao and his party complete one delicacy after another, Keqing asked.

In her eyes, Wang Daoyi is a person with strong force, but she didn't expect that there is such a life as cooking.

Xiangling nodded proudly: "Brother Daoyi's cooking skills are also good, but I usually cook, so everyone hasn't seen it." ”

"I've seen him fight against the afterimage of the Demon God, and then look at this person who cooks, I can't imagine that this will be the same person."

Keqing sighed a little.

Xiangling's little face became more and more joyful and proud.

Wang Dao looked at the little friend who blocked the kitchen door, and was a little helpless: "Don't look at it, since you're hungry, let's help bring the dishes out, and the meal will be finished in a while." ”

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, everyone cheered, rushed into the kitchen, and picked up plates of delicious food.

"Xiangling, you are optimistic about the pot, don't let him steal it." Wang Dao's eyes were very good, and he immediately found the pot with his little hand stretched out.

Xiangling also saw it, hugged the pot, and carried him out of the kitchen: "Guoba, you are not well-behaved today." ”

"Hmhhhhh

·········

In the evening, Master Mao excused himself by going out to find friends and leave room for the children.

The friends sat around the table together and congratulated Xiangling on a happy birthday.

Everyone was happy looking at the food on the table, but before eating, there was still a small link.

"Now, it's time for a birthday present, who will come first?" Xin Yan said with a smile, and then looked around to see who would give the gift first.

However, without waiting for anyone to come out, Xiangling said first, "Or, let's see what Mondstadt's friend has sent first." I watched as the pot kept staring at the package. ”

"Mondstadt?" Wang Daoyi questioned, he had been busy in the kitchen and didn't know about the mail.

"Yes, Diona, as well as Captain Jean and Master Diluc, have sent me birthday letters." Xiangling looked happy, and then took a package from the cabinet, "There is also a gift package, a gift from everyone in Mondstadt. ”

Wang Dao nodded a little, this time, Qin they have a heart.

Xiangling carefully unwrapped the package.

Two badges, a book, a bottle of liquid, and... Two sheets of paper

Xiangling picked up one of the pieces of paper: "It's a gift introduction." ”

"Everyone in the Knights discussed the badge of honor to be sent, Brother Daoyi, I have your share, two badges, one for each of us."

"There is also a collection of recipes prepared by Captain Jean and Miss Lisa, all of which were found in ancient books in Mondstadt that I didn't collect last time. Wow, that's fun. ”

"Diona is sending a bottle of special cat perfume, which not only smells good, but also attracts the favor of many small animals, so good!"

Xiangling cheered and said the identities of the three gifts, attracting everyone's curiosity, and everyone looked at the last piece of paper.

"The last gift is. A list of drinks from Mr. Diluc!? ”

Xiangling was stunned, and everyone was stunned.

The last piece of paper turned out to be a list.

Wang Daoyi took the list, looked at the names and quantities of the drinks listed on it, and calculated slightly, there were about 500,000 Mora worth of drinks.

"Oh, Master Diluc is really generous, obviously he didn't sell us any wine at the beginning, but now these drinks are enough for me and Xiangling to drink for a year." Wang Daoyi said with emotion.

Then everyone looked at the list and sighed that this old man Diluc was really rich.

After reading the gifts from Mondstadt's friends, Xingqiu was the first to stand up: "Happy birthday Xiangling, this is the gift I prepared." ”

Xingqiu wiped it from his sleeve and took out an ancient book: "This is the travelogue of a chef in ancient times, I hope you will like it." ”

Xiangling was very pleasantly surprised to take the ancient book, if it was an ordinary travelogue, she might not be interested, but Xingqiu was very attentive to find a chef's travelogue, which made Xiangling like it very much.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Then Chongyun took out a talisman from the cuff of his right hand: "I won't choose a gift, this is what the elders in the family prepared for me, the evil talisman, folded and placed on the body, can dispel evil spirits and avoid disasters, and protect health." ”

Wang Dao nodded: "The immortal talisman is very precious." ”

Xiangling took the talisman: "Thank you Chongyun, thank you for my predecessors." ”

Waiting for Chongyun to sit down, Keqing stood up: "This is a collection of recipes that I reorganized my grandfather's collection, and no one has studied them at home now, so it's a birthday gift, I hope you can reproduce these recipes." ”

"Thank you, I like it very much, when I reproduce it, please come and taste it."

Keqing sat down, followed by Yun Jin and Xin Yan.

"Together, the two of us have sewn a dress for you, I hope you like it!" The two handed Xiangling a stack of clothes, and then sat down laughing.

Wang Dao's eyes narrowed, and his heart moved: "This dress seems to be a phoenix crown!" ”

Xiangling obviously recognized it, blushed, glanced at Wang Daoyi secretly, and then quickly put away the clothes: "Thank you, thank you, when I wear it, I will definitely invite you to come and see!" ”

Everyone else also smiled, looking at Wang Daoyi and Xiangling, only Yaoyao and Guoba were ignorant.

Everyone laughed for a while, and then Yanfei and Yaoyao.

"We have prepared an old stone ornament for you, which Yaoyao personally went to find on the mountain on the other side of the Chasm, and then we polished it together."

Yanfei took out an ornament, and the appearance of its carving was a cute pot.

"It is indeed rare to see such a quality of old stone, and it is also interesting to carve it into a pot." Wang Daoyi sighed, and Keqing on the side also nodded,

In addition to the two of them, although the other partners may also know about Lao Shi, they can't tell the good from the bad.

Xiangling was moved to pick up Yaoyao, and in the eyes of little Lori's resistance, she was intimately sticked.

In the end, only Wang Daoyi and Hu Tao did not give gifts, and everyone looked at the two expectantly.

Hu Taomei's eyes blinked: "Don't look at me, my gift has been handed over to Daoyi." ”

So everyone looked at Wang Daoyi.

"Hu Tao's gift is indeed with mine, but it was prepared by Zhongli Keqing, not by Hall Master Hu."

Hu Tao bared his teeth: "Hmph, if you hadn't told Zhongli that my gift was not good, how would I have let Zhongli prepare it." ”

The corners of Wang Dao's mouth twitched, you are going to give Xiangling a free package of the Afterlife Hall, if Zhongli doesn't stop you, you can make a joke today.

"Hehe, I'd better go first and get the gift." As he spoke, ignoring the bared teeth of Hall Master Hu, Wang Daoyi walked to a corner and took out a dragon-shaped box more than two meters long under everyone's gaze.

Xingqiu couldn't help but complain: "How did you manage to put such a long East XZ in the corner." ”

"Heh, technology, you don't understand."

Saying that, Wang Daoyi handed the box to Xiangling: "Happy birthday, this is a gift, let's see if you like it or not." ”

In the eyes of everyone's expectation, Xiangling also looked at the box curiously and opened it gently.

A coiling dragon spear full of sharp aura.

"Extinguishing in the box?" It was Keqing who was the first to react, but it was normal, because the other weapon in the box series, the dragon in the box, was in Keqing's hand.

"Legendary Weapons!" Everyone reacted.

Xiangling looked at the spear in surprise, she liked it very much.

"This box is my gift to you, I hope you like it, in addition, the gun oil configured in the gun box was prepared by Zhongli Keqing for Hall Master Hu, and the special gun oil is also precious."

Wang Daoyi introduced.

Xiangling's eyes were hazy: "Thank you, I like it very much." ”

With a snap, Xiangling imprinted her lower lip print on Wang Dao's cheeks.

"Oooh oh !!" Everyone started to heckle.

Although the relationship between the two has long been no secret, such a straightforward intimate contact is the first time it has appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Hot air came out of Xiangling's head, and she buried her little face in Wang Daoyi's arms.

It took a long time to get out.

However, there was a small hand holding his hand and unwilling to let go.

In the teasing eyes of his friends, Wang Dao's face remained unchanged, and his other hand stretched out: "Let's eat." ”

"Yay!!!"
