"Whew—I'm full, I'm full." Hu Tao said with a satisfied face.

Guoba: "Lu~!" ”

"Xiangling, it's a shame that you can come up with a new way to eat grilled fish with dipping water, especially that bowl of dipping water, it tastes so good."

Listening to Hu Tao's words, Xiangling replied with a smile: "Hehe, that's my special dipping water, of course it tastes good." ”

Zhong left his mouth and commented: "Dry weaving Jueyun pepper pepper ground into powder, add garlic paste and green onion and mix well, then add salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and finally use boiling oil to catch fragrant." ”

"Behind the seemingly rough approach is the chef's precise understanding of the ratio of taste and seasoning. One more point is more, and one point less is less. ”

"This is called the [Jingdao]."

"You have a point." Tassel jaw head.

Zhongli: "."

Hu Tao nodded and agreed: "Mmmmmmmm ”

Xiangling was a little embarrassed by Hu Tao's words and replied, "Hehe. Blame the shy. Thank you, Mr. Zhongli! ”

"I think it's okay, I'm already very eloquent, but I didn't expect to compare it with Ling, it's still not enough to see." Hu Tao turned to Zhongli and said.

Zhongli replied lightly: "Why should the hall master be polite to me. The master's eloquence is evident to all in Liyue Harbor. ”

Guoba listened to Zhongli's words, and echoed on the side: "Lu~"

Hearing the sound of the pot, Hu Tao lowered his head and said to the pot on the table, "Do you want something from the pot?" You're welcome, the master of the parishion, please! It's good to put the account on Xiangling's head. ”

Guoba: "? ”

"What are you talking about?"

Hearing the familiar voice, several people turned their heads to see that it was Ying walking over with Paimon.

"Yo! It's Traveler and Paimon, what's the wind that blows you here? Hu Tao greeted Ying and Paimon.

"Wait! Don't talk about it yet, let the master of the parish calculate it carefully... Well, I've been to the Lantern Festival! ”

Paimon couldn't help but complain, "You can see it at a glance, do you still need to guess?" ”

"Hall Master Hu, the Traveler and Paimon have been in Liyue all this time, so it's a bit inappropriate to use it as if they were here for the Lantern Festival." Zhongli took a sip of tea.

Hu Tao wondered, "Really?" I thought they were traveling again, after all, I hadn't seen them a few times in Liyue. ”

Xiangling said to Ying and Paimon, "You guys are here just in time, I'm inviting everyone to try the new dish!" ”

"The boss of the three bowls of Hong Kong gave a good review, and the tassels, Mr. Zhongli and Hu Tao were also satisfied, but I always felt that more people had to try it..."

"Well, do you want to eat?"

Hearing Xiangling's words, Paimon replied with a look of surprise, "If you want to eat, you want to eat!" ”

Ying said, "We're here to find Mr. Zhongli. ”

Hearing Ying's words, Paimon said with some loss, "Huh? No, don't you eat it? All right... Let's get down to business..."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the trip has been going well lately?"

Ying smiled and replied, "It's not bad, it's made a lot of money, and Liyue's commission is really great." ”

Zhongli bowed his head and said, "That's very good. ”

"So what, so what? Why are you looking for our guest? Hu Tao asked, "Let's talk about it first, we also have something to do when we go out today!" The food tasting is just a stop-by. ”

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Paimon said with some surprise, "Yes, yes, it can't be a matter of the Afterlife Hall, right?" It's a holiday."

Hu Tao opened his mouth and said: "There are also birth, old age, sickness and death during the holidays, right?" Don't make a fuss. ”

Seeing his words, Paimon showed a shocked expression and continued, "Okay, scare you, I was thinking that the weather is good today, come out to see the street scene, and promote the business by the way..."

"Let's talk, I'll go to the boss with Xiangling to have some tea. Zhongli just remember to find me when he's done! After speaking, Hu Tao beckoned Xiangling to leave with Guoba.

Zhong Li bowed his head and said, "Yes, the hall master walks slowly." ”

"Traveler, what's going on?" Seeing the two of them leaving, Zhongli asked at Ying.

"No, no, it's just that I heard that your idol is now under construction, so I want to ask if you can count me as one." Ying said.

"If you want to go, just go to Ningguang and them. So, you should have something else that you need my help with. ”

"This, this, Paimon, why don't you come and do it?" Ying said to Paimon next to him.

"Huh? Why me again? Paimon listened to Ying's words and pointed at himself in confusion.

Paimon turned his head to Zhongli and said embarrassedly, "Okay, that's right, we're actually here to find Tassel, but we couldn't find her whereabouts, so we came to you to ask, but she's here now, hehe." ”

Zhongli: "."

Perceiving Zhongli's silence, Paimon continued, "Didn't Hu Tao finish talking about it before? We didn't have time to react, that's it. ”

"What are you looking for me?" Tassel wondered when he heard this.

"That's right." Paimon tells Tassel about Keqing.

Tassel touched his chin and said, "Oh? Keqing secretly worked overtime? ”

"yes, yes, I took down Skynet, and ran around Liyue for fireworks, and Ganyu is there." Paimon nodded and said, "Although Keqing is strong now, with her current sleepless work style, she will definitely be tired, tassel, you can persuade her." ”

Listening to Paimon's words, Tassel touched his chin and said, "Well, if that's the case, then the hundred sets I ordered from Hu Tao will also work." ”

Zhongli: "."

Paimon: "??? ”

"That, tassel, why did you order a hundred sets of meals from Hu Tao, do there are so many people who need to be buried?" Ying wondered.

Tassel replied, "Prepare for the future, if you want to die again one day, maybe it will come in handy." ”

"Can the course of the Afterlife Hall still be used like this?!" Paimon exclaimed.

Tassel glanced at Paimon and said, "Why not?" Next time, just lie down again. ”

"It's you." Zhongli said silently.

"Speaking of which, I have also ordered a hundred packages for you."

Zhongli: "??? ”

Tassel continued: "We are old friends, I can still help with this little favor between old friends, and I won't forget you in the package I ordered, by the way, Wendy and Ying also booked it." ”

"Then I really thank you." Zhongli was silent for a moment before speaking.

Tassel waved his hand and said, "You're welcome." ”

Zhong Li sighed and said: "I'll just say that during that time, the funds of the Death Hall suddenly became sufficient, and Hall Master Hu didn't go to Wanmin Hall to help, it turned out that you ordered it." ”

"Take care of your business, after all, there aren't so many places in Liyue that need to be served by the Afterlife Hall now, and we can't let Hall Master Hu be reduced to the point of doing chores to pay your salary."

Zhongli: "."

Who did you learn from this behavior of pointing at Sang and scolding Huai? Although you didn't mention my name in this paragraph, I can be seen everywhere.

"So you're here."

Hearing the voice, Paimon was surprised, "Huh? Tick, tick! ”

Keqing was just about to say something, when she saw Tassel sitting there silently, she was surprised: "Master, Master?!" ”

The tassel greeted, "Well, Happy Lantern Day." ”

Keqing listened to Tassel's words and replied in a daze: "Huh? Hmmm, well, Happy Lantern Festival. ”

Seeing that Tassel didn't mention his overtime, Ke Qing breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Mr. Zhongli, I didn't expect you to be here. ”

Zhongli replied, "I went out with Hall Master Hu to deal with some things, and I happened to run into Tassels and Travelers. ”

Seeing Keqing suddenly appear, Paimon and Ying's expressions stiffened a little, and they felt embarrassed that they had been caught red-handed by someone who had been caught red-handed.

Keqing looked at the somewhat strange Ying and Paimon and asked, "What's wrong?" Why is your watch so weird? ”

"Could it be that I came too suddenly and disturbed your conversation?"

"No, no, I'm just curious why the busy Keqing is here." Paimon hurriedly said.

Keqing: "!! ”

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense, I'm not busy at all, it's just a little overtime." Keqing hurriedly explained.

Master and Emperor are here, if they know that they have been working for a few days, then they can't finish the game?

"For the sake of Liyue, Yu Hengxing also needs to take care of his body and not overwork." Zhongli said lightly.

Keqing: "."

Okay, it's over, Zhongli knows about it, then Master must also know, it must be Paimon's informant, thinking of this, Keqing cast her eyes on Paimon.

Being a little uncomfortable by Keqing's eyes, Paimon changed the subject and said, "Ahem, Keqing, why did you suddenly think of looking for us?" ”

Keqing replied faintly: "I needed to find you before, but now I don't need to." ”

Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment, his eyes looking at the sky.

"Keqing, I heard you're preparing fireworks?" Tassel said suddenly.

When Keqing heard Tassel's words, she stiffened her body and replied, "Yes, yes, Master, what's wrong?" ”

Tassel replied, "Little Klee and Nahida are back, you should take them with you when you prepare the fireworks, they are very interested in this." ”

"Uh-huh, I'll contact them." Keqing replied, "If it's okay, then I'll leave first." ”

"One more thing."

"Huh?"

"Although you have a lot of strength, you still pay attention to your body as Zhongli said." Tassel continued.

"I see. Thank You, Master. Keqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Tassel's words and said, "By the way, Traveler, Paimon, if your affairs are taken care of, come to the Jade Pavilion to find me, I have something to tell you." ”

"Uh-huh, we'll be right here." Paimon replied.

Seeing Keqing leaving, Paimon asked with some confusion about the tassel, "Tassel, why was Keqing so afraid of your appearance just now?" ”

Tassel replied, "Isn't this very simple?" Because now she has violated the contract of Skynet. ”

"Then why didn't you say it just now, Keqing seems to have known that we were informing." Paimon scratched his head and said.

"Since she wants to do this, it would be nice to give her a long vacation when the time comes."

Paimon scratched his head and said, "yes, is that so?" ”

"It's Lantern Festival again, I have to prepare something, now is the moment when the people's desire is the strongest, and I can't miss it." Tassel said as he touched his chin.

Listening to Tassel's words, Zhongli's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise, "Oh? Tassel, have you made any big moves again? ”

"Almost, I'm not looking at Liuyun and Lotia these days."

Zhongli wondered, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"In short, the current Flowing Cloud Galotia is the equivalent of a group of Paimon."

Zhongli: "."

"I know, I'll pay attention." Zhongli listened to Tassel's words, rubbed his eyebrows, and said with a headache.

"Hey! What does it mean to add up to a group of me? It's so rude! Paimon, who was standing next to him, said huffingly.

"Oh hey!" Tassel replied with a smile: "Okay, farewell!" ”

After saying that, the tassel dodged and left.

Paimon: "."

"Doesn't the tassel say Lotia look normal, though? Why do you say that Liuyun borrows the wind and the true monarch Galotia is equal to a group of me? No, am I that much of a headache? Ying, you speak! Paimon said this, looking at Ying next to him with some anger, hoping that she would give him an answer.

Ying: "."

You're fine except for being able to talk a little, and Ying was silent when she thought of it.

Seeing that Ying didn't answer herself, Paimon said angrily, "I'm so angry, I didn't expect you to think the same way." ”

"Since Yu Hengxing is still waiting for you, you can leave first." Zhong said as he left his mouth.

Paimon beckoned to Zhongli, "Then let's go." ”

Zhongli bowed his head and said, "Hmm." ”

At this time, Tassel stood in the space of the golden tree, and a green light curtain appeared in front of her, and she stretched out her hand and clicked on the light curtain in front of her, as if she was compiling something to the computer.

While controlling the compilation table, Tassel couldn't help but complain: "Why is this tree so troublesome, why did I design it like this in the first place, it's really troublesome." ”

The Great Mercy Tree King walked out of the tassel's body and said to her with a smile: "Because the Golden Tree itself is another World Tree, if you want to tamper with the information, you can only do it in a fixed and cumbersome way, otherwise the World Tree will change according to your thoughts, which is not conducive to the perfection of the law." ”

"Alas, it's still not strong enough, if only I could really bloom and fall with a thought." Tassel sighed.

The Great Mercy Tree King approached the tassel and said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, you have done a good job, isn't the process of compiling the Golden Tree now just another act of creation?" ”

In this regard, Tassel did not appreciate it, glanced at the King of the Great Cishu next to him and said, "Don't say cool words, come and help me." ”

"Alas, I don't understand the amorous feelings." Listening to Tassel's words, the smile on the face of the Great Cishu King froze.

"I'm not unaware, come quickly!" Tassel continued.

The Great Cishu King said helplessly: "Okay, okay, just help you." ”

"That's right." Tassel nodded in satisfaction.

"Tassel, this tree seems to have been derived beyond the world." The Great Mercy Tree King said as he operated, "If this continues, the body will be separated from Teyvat. ”

"Originally, it was to get out of the world, so that you can grow better beyond the stars, and you will become real." Tassel replied, "That way, the world won't forget you anymore." ”

The King of the Great Cishu listened to the tassel's words and sighed with emotion: "Alas, it still feels a little unreal to suddenly become like this, just like a dream. ”

"What would you dream of as a tree king? All this is certainly true. Tassel spoke.

"You're right, if all this were a dream, I wish I never woken up in a dream." The Great Mercy Tree King replied with a smile.

Boom!

"Oops! What are you doing! The King of the Great Cishu covered his head with an incredulous expression.

Tassel withdrew his hand and said, "Let you distinguish between dreams and reality." ”

"Although, this is an act against Nahida, don't use it on me, thank you." The Great Mercy Tree King said with a polite smile at the tassel.

"It's still a little bit closer, the data is about to become real, and these anomalies will definitely be detected by Tianli, it's really troublesome." Tassel said with a frown as he compiled the golden tree.

"It's okay, just fight with it, the two of us will definitely be able to fight." The Great Mercy Tree King replied indifferently.

Tassel frowned and said: "We can fight, but Teyvat can't bear it, now Teyvat is like a bubble in smoke, if it weren't for the maintenance of Tianli, this bubble would dissipate directly, this is not the result I want." ”

"So what to do? The process of actualization is irreversible, why don't you run away with them? Anyway, the current Golden Tree can be used as an Ark. The Great Cishu King also said with a frown.

"In this way, I will go outside the starry sky, you wait for me here, I will go outside to open an opening in this world, and you take this tree to come out at this time." Tassel thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine, but you're directly exposed to the stars, so you won't be noticed by people from other worlds, right?" The Great Cishu King said with some concern.

"I don't know, but if we don't go out, this world will limit our development, and after we get out of the world, we will be able to develop rapidly, and then we will not be afraid of foreign forces." Tassel spoke.

"Then you have to be careful." The Great Tree of Mercy replied.

Tassel listened to the words of the Great Mercy Tree King and flew directly towards the starry sky.

In the process of traversing, the tassel feels as if it has broken through an invisible barrier, and when it comes out again, it is the vast stars and the world that you see.

"Hey, this is the Tree of Imaginary Numbers? It's a conceptual body, but it's terrifying, isn't it? Tassel looked in amazement at the imaginary tree in the shape of a giant tree, the leaves on which were not leaves, but a world containing stars.

Below the Tree of Imaginary Numbers, there is an endless ocean of stars, and under the observation of the tassels, there are many points of light on the Tree of Imaginary Numbers falling towards the ocean of stars below.

"I know it's beautiful here, but don't be emotional, hurry up, if you don't make a move, the world of Teyvat will be stabbed." The voice of the Great Cishu King came from Tassel's mind.

Tassel: "."
