Chapter 309: Immortal Monarch, I Really Can't Eat It

"Uh, Shenhe, the Great Sage of Demon Slayer."

Ganyu saw that the person who came was a little embarrassed and greeted.

Paimon looked at the atmosphere a little embarrassed, and said to the few people in front of him a little anxiously, "You, you guys talk quickly, don't you want me to explain?"

Ying: "."

It's not your bad idea, why did I listen to your slander in the first place?

Xiao: "."

"Okay, I'll just explain." Paimon said, "We're looking for a fairy family who can play music and save people from drowning. โ€

"Not me." Xiao shook his head and spoke.

"Well, I know, the immortals are supposed to be women."

Xiao: "."

"I'm not an immortal, Traveler and Paimon should know." Shenhe also explained again.

"Well, I'll admit it, it's all my fault."

Paimon said with some embarrassment, "If I knew there would be such an embarrassing scene, I wouldn't have come up with bad ideas."

"It's fine." After Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Are you leaving?" Ying wondered.

"As far as I know, there is no one in the Yaksha that you are looking for. What's more."

Xiao replied, "This is too worrying, don't try again next time." โ€

"Wait, Xiao." Paimon said suddenly.

"What else?"

"Well, here's what they gave you, and this time I saw you just in time for you." Paimon took out three masks of different colors and handed them to Xiao in his surprised gaze.

"It's." Seeing this, Xiao's pupils shrank, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"I took it, thank you."

After Xiao took the mask given by Paimon, after feeling it for a while, he said with a rare smile, "If there is nothing important, I will go back first, by the way, I wish you a happy Lantern Festival in advance." โ€

"Happy Lantern Festival."

Paimon waved at the departing Xiao, then turned to Ying and said, "Gone." โ€

"Paimon, why do you have that?" Ying said as she looked at Paimon suspiciously.

"It's not like I met them when I wasn't looking for you before, so I handed this over to me and asked me to send these masks to Xiao's hands, but I forgot about them as soon as I came, and I remembered them just after seeing Xiao." Paimon scratched his head.

"Okay."

"The Great Sage of Demon Suppression still comes and goes like the wind."

"Yes, yes, I don't even dare to answer without permission." Ganyu nodded and agreed: "However, I just saw the Great Sage of Demon Slaying smile, I don't know if it's my delusion." โ€

"No, I saw it too, it should be because of the mask that Paimon gave to the Demon Slayer." Keqing opened his mouth and said, "Didn't he take the initiative to tell us happy Lantern Festival when he got to the back?" โ€

"Hmm." Ganyu nodded and said, "Then again, has Shenhe's cultivation been going well recently?" Do you have any plans for the Lantern Festival, and do you want to celebrate it together this year? โ€

"This year, I have this plan, and I want to go to the Lantern Festival with Master, but"

"Ah, speaking of Liuyun Zhenjun, when was the last time you saw her?" Ganyu asked out loud.

"I've seen it today, she went in the direction of Amber Mountain early this morning, I saw that she was carrying a boiler-shaped mechanism, maybe it was sent to the true monarch of Lishui Dieshan, I didn't ask much."

After listening to Shenhe's answer, Ganyu nodded and said, "It turns out that it's just a coincidence."

"Shenhe, you only saw Liuyun Zhenjun passing, what about my master?" Keqing asked.

"Immortal Monarch? I didn't see her. Shenhe shook his head and said, "But a day ago, I saw her fishing by this waterhole, and Lotia was also in the water. โ€

Keqing: "."

Keqing glanced at the pool of water that was so clear that there was not a single fish that she understood why Lotia was in the water.

"Then let's talk first, I'll put the gift in the cave first." Ganyu picked up the prepared gifts and said to a few people.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you." Shenhe nodded.

"Sounds like you're getting to know each other a lot."

"Well, since she was almost always in Liyue Harbor and adapted to human life, there were some things she didn't understand, which inevitably bothered her." Shenhe replied: "So after coming and going, I will become acquainted." โ€

"However, when I followed the example of the people around her and called her Ganyu senior or Ganyu sister, she refused."

"There are some things to learn, and some things that can't be learned, and it's not easy to remember." Speaking of this, Shenhe sighed and said, "Just like Yelan before, she obviously likes to track others, but when I follow her, she is a little unhappy." โ€

Ying: "."

"This, Ganyu's words, you are all Liuyun Zhenjun's apprentices, if you call her senior sister directly, I guess she won't mind." Paimon spoke, "Yelan's words, to be honest, I don't understand your relationship, but I can tell that Yelan doesn't really hate you." โ€

"I see, I made a note of it." Shenhe bowed his head and said, "Speaking of which, the two of you want to see Master are related to the immortals you are looking for?" โ€

"That's right." Paimon nodded and said, "By the way, did Shenhe hear any music when he was in the mountains?" โ€

Shenhe was puzzled: "Music. What is it? โ€

"It's a sound that makes you feel happy or relaxed! Uh, nervous and scared sounds, it can also be counted."

"Yes, when I was here yesterday, I heard the sound of the piano, and I don't know if this is music." Shenhe pondered for a while and replied, "I can't describe the sound of the piano in words, but when I hear it, my heart will somehow calm down, and I feel that the world has become clearer." โ€

"Huh? Piano?! Paimon exclaimed, "Does Shenhe know who played it?" โ€

"Yes." Shen He bowed his head and said, "Lotia still has Liuyun Zhenjun. โ€

"Huh?!"

"Ying, do you think it's the tassels that make it more difficult for us to find people, I think it's very possible with her character." Paimon suddenly thought of something and said with some huff.

"Probably not, right? I think Tassel must have done this on a whim, or she wouldn't have let Lotia play it. Ying thought about it for a moment and then rejected Paimon's idea.

On the other side, after Ganyu entered the cave of Liuyun, she saw a figure that surprised her.

"Immortal, Immortal?" Ganyu was surprised: "You, why are you here?" โ€

"What is flowing is mine, and what is mine is still mine." Tassel glanced at Ganyu and said, "Why can't I be here?" โ€

Ganyu: "."

"I, I didn't mean that." Ganyu was stunned by the tassel's words, and it took a while to come back to his senses and explain: "I mean, if you are here, then you know everything outside?" โ€

"Of course, including the things you want to find Ah Ping." Tassel replied.

"The fairy in the mouth of the Traveler and Paimon is actually Ah Ping?" Ganyu was surprised: "No wonder, it's over."

"Otherwise, who else in Liyue can play the piano, I'm too lazy to play anyway." Tassel spread his hands.

The tassel's words made Lotia, who was holding the piano on the side, say quietly: "Yes, you are too lazy to play, so let me play it." โ€

"Don't worry about the details." Tassel waved his hand indifferently and said, "Besides, you don't really like music, do you?" I like to listen, you like to play, we are a win-win situation. โ€

Lodia: "."

"Immortal Monarch, do you know how long it will take for Liuyun Zhenjun to come back?" Ganyu wondered.

"Count the time, it's almost an hour." Tassel spread her hands and replied helplessly: "With Liuyun's temperament, she will definitely show off her cooking skills for a while on the side of Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun and Zhuyang Zhenjun of Cutting Moon." โ€

"Yes, too."

"If you're not in a hurry, just wait."

"That's good."

"By the way, it's noon now, you must be hungry, right?"

"I didn't."

"I know, you're hungry, come on, I've prepared a lot of food."

"Xianjun. Please don't do that."

"We haven't seen each other for so long, you see you've lost weight." Tassel said with a tiger face: "No, Liuyun is my dependent, her business is my business, I have to raise her apprentice to be fat and fat." โ€

Ganyu: "."

Having said all that, that's your purpose, Keqing, can you hear me? Come and save me!

"I want to ask for help, it's too late, let's finish eating these first." The tassel saw Ganyu's careful thinking at a glance and said directly: "Come, I haven't fed you for a long time, come, open your mouth." โ€

Ganyu: "!! โ€

After a while, Ganyu said to the tassel with a bitter face: "Xianjun, I really can't eat it." โ€

"Why, isn't it delicious?" Tassel pretended to be puzzled: "If I'm not mistaken, these are your favorite foods." โ€

"Hiccup, no, it's not, I just ate too much." Ganyu replied with a burp.

"Okay, then so much can't be wasted, you can pack it up and take it away by the way, and tell me when Liuyun comes back." Tassel looked at Ganyu, who couldn't eat anymore, and no longer embarrassed her.

"Okay, then Immortal Monarch, I'll leave first." After speaking, Ganyu ran away.

"It's not that I haven't eaten enough, but I can still run." Tassel touched his chin and looked at Ganyu's back as he hurriedly left, and said thoughtfully: "It's better to prepare a little more next time." โ€

Keqing looked at Ganyu who was walking towards here with a big box, and asked with some confusion: "Ganyu, who are you?" โ€

"Hiccup." Ganyu hiccuped before speaking, and said to Keqing with a little blush: "I met Xianjun in the cave mansion, Hiccup, she let me eat a lot of food, Hiccup, I couldn't eat it before she let me go."

Keqing: "."

"Here, drink some water." Keqing took out a bottle of water and handed it to Ganyu and said.

"Thank you." After Ganyu took a sip, he felt that he was a lot smoother, and he didn't burp anymore.

"It turns out that the tassel is in the house, so why doesn't she come out?" Paimon wondered.

"I don't understand, Xianjun must have her deep meaning in doing this." Ganyu replied, "By the way, these are the foods made by Xianjun, but they are all vegetarian, I don't know if they are to your taste." โ€

"Wow, tasseled food?" Paimon's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I want to eat, I want to eat." โ€

Ying: "."

Seeing this, Keqing took out a table and chair from the space and put it on the ground and said, "Put it here." โ€

"Why does Keqing carry a table and a chair with her?" Paimon wondered, "Is this also something I learned from tassels?" โ€

"yes, anyway, the space is so big, maybe you can bring something useful and use it." Keqing replied with a smile.

"Okay, then, Ganyu, hurry up, I want to eat something delicious." Speaking of which, Paimon urged Ganyu.

After finishing the meal, Paimon happily touched his bulging stomach and said, "Well, I didn't expect that even the light food would be so delicious, worthy of tassels." โ€

"I thought it wouldn't be to your liking." Ganyu looked at the people who were all satisfied with the food and whispered.

"How can it be, it's the pure heart, the glass lily, and the glass bag are all made so delicious, and this soup, obviously drinking it is like water, but it gives me a different feeling, sweet and silky."

Speaking of this, Paimon asked with some confusion, "How is this soup made?" โ€

"This is water." Ganyu replied in a low voice: "This is Lotia's purified water, which has aura, so it tastes so good." โ€

Paimon scratched his head and said, "Okay. โ€

"Thank you for your hospitality." Kamisato Ayaka said with a smile.

"It's okay." Ganyu shook his head and said, "By the way, Shenhe, do these suit your appetite?" โ€

"It's delicious, even better than what I've eaten in Liyue Harbor." Shenhe nodded and said, "It's obviously a bitter pure heart and a glass lily, why is it so delicious." โ€

"That's it, in the future, I can't eat the glass bag."

"If you want to eat it in the future, you can find Xianjun again." Ganyu said.

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course you can, Xianjun won't care about these little things, although it's usually difficult to find a figure."

Shenhe: "."

"But I think Liuyun Zhenjun should do the same."

When Ganyu said this, he suddenly thought of something and continued: "I almost forgot just now, I know who that fairy is. โ€

"Huh? Ganyu knows? Paimon asked in surprise.

"Well, this answer was told to me by Xianjun, the fairy who rescued Mr. Dvoลกak's ancestors who fell into the water is Ah Ping." Ganyu said.

"Huh? Is it Grandma Ping? โ€

"Grandma Ping, is that the old woman we saw on the Yujing Terrace before?" Kamisato Ayaka also said in disbelief: "I'm also surprised. โ€

"No, I'm not very surprised by Ayaka, I just feel that I can't think of such a simple thing, and I'm a little annoyed." Paimon replied, "Paimon should have sounded earlier." โ€

"Ying, you still remember that when we faced Auxer, the immortal power that Grandma Ping blessed us was like sound waves, combined with the appearance of the true monarch of Gechenlang City that we saw later."

Ying nodded flatly, "Oh." โ€

"Ying, is your reaction so flat? Isn't there any surprise at all? โ€

Glowing glanced at Paimon and said, "When you look at the tassel's behavior, you will think that these are all drizzle, what is there to be surprised about."

"You, you're right." Paimon scratched his head with a tangled expression and said, "Forget it, now that the goal has been determined, are we going to go back and tell Mr. Dvoล™ak about it?" โ€

"I think it's a bit bad to leave now, because Xianjun said that Liuyun Zhenjun will be back in a while." Ganyu whispered.

"Alright then, let's wait here for the woman to come back." Paimon nodded and said, "Then again, Shenhe, do you have any thoughts on music?" โ€

"Sounds good." Shenhe nodded and said, "Whether it is the opera that Yun Jin sang that time, or the sound of the piano played by Lotia, it makes me feel warm in my chest." โ€

"It seems that I am with everyone again, raising a glass and drinking on the Jade Pavilion, it turns out that music has such power."

"Shenhe's experience is more than I thought!"

"That is, except for your proficiency in eating, all other aspects are half-baked."

"Hey, Ying, how can you say that about me, it's disgusting!"

"Isn't it? Look at you, you're starting to give me bad ideas now. โ€

Paimon: "."

"Forget it." Paimon scratched his head a little embarrassed and then changed the subject, "Where's Ganyu?" Do you remember any melodies that impressed? โ€

"Well, I don't remember if my parents sang lullabies for me." Ganyu pondered for a moment and replied, "Aside from the local folk songs of Liyue, what else can I recall?"

"The singing of the sailors on the docks, the cries of the vendors at the gates of the old shops, the playing and singing of the folk artists on the streets."

"In the past, whenever I heard these melodies, I always felt that they were far away from me."

"I should be considered inhuman to the people at large, so . . I can't understand human art and emotions very well, and I can't integrate them into their lives. โ€

"At least that's what I've always felt. When I thought about it later, I vaguely felt that those were all like the constraints I subjectively set up. โ€

"Especially hundreds of years ago, after the Immortal Monarch came to Liyue, her sincere teachings to me when I was confused made me gradually look at Liyue Harbor with a different kind of eyes."

"Immortal Jun is more like an Immortal to me, she walks alone in Liyue Harbor and barely comes into contact with other people, but I don't see the same confusion in her eyes as I do."

"I vaguely remember that her eyes are very bright, just like the stars in the sky, in addition to Liuyun Zhenjun, Xianjun is also the immortal I have been in contact with the most, and she has changed me, I think, the voice of Xianjun in my memory is also a kind of music for me."

"It turns out that for Ganyu, can music still be understood like this?" Paimon asked, surprised.

"Yes, every time I recall Xianjun's voice, my heart will be extremely calm, and I will not be confused, which is also a beautiful music for me." Ganyu said this and continued: "I think the Immortal Monarch will be so patient with me, probably because of Liuyun Zhenjun. โ€

"Compared to Liuyun Zhenjun, who raised me, Xianjun is more like the master in my life."

"Hey, don't rob the master with me, I'm the only apprentice of the master." Keqing glanced at Ganyu and said.

"It's not important, Xianjun said that Liuyun Zhenjun's is hers, because Liuyun Zhenjun is Xianjun's dependent, so I can also be regarded as half of Xianjun's apprentice." Ganyu smiled and replied, "Immortal Monarch, Liuyun Zhenjun, and you, me, and Shenhe, aren't they just like Liyue's family?" โ€

Keqing: "."

Forget it, who made her Ganyu, forgive her for robbing the master with herself.

"Can I do it too?" Shenhe muttered.

"Of course you can, because of your personality and past experiences, although Xianjun didn't come forward, she still helped Liuyun Zhenjun take care of you, I think you could feel it before."

Shenhe responded with a smile, "Hmm." โ€
