Chapter 389 The Era of Rule by Man Has Arrived
Wu Menghai had just finished his meal and everyone was talking and laughing on their way back when Keqing came over and stood beside Wu Menghai.
Keqing first glanced at Sandonie with a satisfied look on her face. "You seem very well behaved, don't you? You didn't secretly change it after we left."
"Hmph~" Sandoni turned his head away and stopped talking.
Although she was wearing a shameful cat maid outfit, when she walked onto the street, she was not as conspicuous as she had imagined, which made Sandoni feel a little better.
It is indeed very ordinary. After all, there are countless strange races in Teyvatri. Cats are common, and maids are even more common around the young masters of wealthy families.
Keqing said, "Traveler, Menghai, and you two, Ningguang told me that she wants to call you to the Jade Pavilion alone to ask for something."
"Okay, let's go." Ying nodded in agreement.
"Well, what's wrong?" Wu Menghai's first reaction was confusion.
"I'm not sure either. You two should go and take a look. Oh, and don't bring anyone else." Keqing finished speaking and left quickly. "I'm going to eat some beef offal first. See you later."
"Uh, okay." Wu Menghai stretched out his hand and looked at Keqing who was flying away quickly and disappearing from his sight.
"Okay, since they are looking for you, I won't go with them." Funina said to Wu Menghai.
"Okay, then you wait for me in my shop." Wu Menghai said.
Fu Nina shook her head. "No, I want to go play with Yun Jin first! She wasn't even there during the Xian Dian Ceremony just now. I need to tell her about this huge event in Liyue first."
When Wu Menghai heard Fu Ningna say she was looking for Yun Jin, he understood. However, such a big thing happened, it was indeed...
Wu Menghai said: "Hey~ The news hasn't spread yet, why don't you tell Clorinde about this news as soon as possible."
"Ah!" After hearing this, Furniture's little head quickly understood. This was first intelligence! So Furniture's face showed confusion.
"It's okay. Everyone in Teyvat will know about it sooner or later anyway. It doesn't matter! Just go and play with Yunjin." Wu Menghai waved his hand and was about to leave with Ying.
After hearing what Wu Menghai said, Funina stopped worrying and ran away immediately.
"Then... can I still go back to Northland Bank?" Sandoni called out to Wu Menghai.
"They don't stipulate where you have to sleep, but you just have to dress like this when our drink shop opens. Sandoni, just treat it like a job. Work for me for a few days, and I'll give you some extra Mora every day."
Sandoni looked disgusted and said, "I don't want your Mora! Don't I want your Mora?"
Then she seemed to have made up her mind: "Do you have any vacancies in your store? Otherwise, I'll just stay in your store."
"Yes, there is." Wu Menghai nodded.
"That's fine. I don't have anything to go back for, so I'll just stay in your store for a while."
"Okay, I can cover it."
"Sandoni, aren't you going back to rest? His shop isn't far from the Northland Bank." Columbia, who was in Sandoni's arms and was also accompanying her depressed sister, looked at Sandoni.
Sandoni simply responded, "It's still too far! I have to walk up and down the stairs every day."
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you need to exercise more! You don't even want to walk such a short distance?" Columbia said.
"Don't worry about it. Aren't you still sleeping in my house now?" Sandoni turned his head.
Columbia stopped talking. She was actually lying comfortably on Sandoni's big bed and resting for many days.
She hadn't had much to do these days because she had completed a few small tasks and was running low on energy.
After Sandoni left, it happened that no one fed him for the past few days. Fortunately, he was able to slowly recover by relying on his little clone to eat and drink at Wu Menghai's place.
Seeing that they were having a good chat, Wu Menghai really left this time. Ningguang was still waiting and no longer listened to their conversation.
Suddenly, Columbia called out to Wu Menghai, who had turned around, "Menghai, why don't you take me with you?"
"No need, just spend more time with Sandoni and sing for her," Wu Menghai said, shaking his head. He thought this would make Sandoni feel better, but he was afraid she wouldn't bother him.
Sandoni quickly refused: "I'm fine, I don't want to hear it."
"Sandoni, you don't like me anymore." Columbia said in a sad and pitiful tone.
"Okay, okay, just sing for me and I'll listen." Sandoni couldn't do anything about Columbia.
"Great!" Columbia was instantly happy.
Ying and Paimon were standing next to each other. They had a good relationship and smiled at each other tacitly.
"Finally they left. What do you think Ningguang wanted to talk to us about?" Wu Menghai looked at Ying on the way.
"I don't know either." Ying shook her head and just followed Wu Menghai.
When they were halfway through the walk, Wu Menghai suddenly tapped his forehead. Why did he want to take the regular route?
It’s a shame to say that she has been in Liyue for quite a while, but she has never even had a proper visit to the legendary Qun Yu Pavilion.
"Get in the car!" Wu Menghai summoned a heavily armored bunny and appeared in front of them.
"Oh!" Ying suddenly reacted. Yes, Wu Menghai has a car that can fly.
Afterwards, Ying took Wu Menghai's hand and turned over.
At that moment, Paimon said something that stopped the two hurried people in their tracks. "By the way? Since we're going to the Jade Pavilion for the first time, should we prepare some gifts? After all, this is also a traditional culture of Liyue."
"Hmm..." Ying thought about it carefully, then hooked her arm around Wu Menghai's waist and jumped out of the car again: "That's right, Paimeng. What do you think is a good gift for us to give?"
"Hmm..." Paimeng pondered and then looked at Wu Menghai: "Do you know what Ningguang likes?"
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, right? She has something to ask us?" Wu Menghai was not so particular about giving gifts when meeting people. Did she have to bring gifts every time she came to see them for something?
"Although anyone who brings gifts to Ningguang will receive correspondingly greater benefits."
"Okay, benefits!" Hearing this, Paimeng's eyes widened even more. She hadn't expected that just by maintaining the Liyue etiquette of visiting someone else's home, there would be another surprise of benefits for them.
Well, in the end, Wu Menghai still couldn't resist Paimeng and Ying's enthusiastic eyes, and said to Ningguang: "She is a wealthy woman, so a gift worth a thousand gold is just an ordinary thing to her."
"She also likes sweets, so we just need to make an exquisite dessert for her!" said Wu Menghai.
Paimeng and Ying looked at each other, and Paimeng said to Wu Menghai, "You're right. Seeing how Keqing hurried off to eat just now, I wonder if Ningguang has eaten yet. Then let's quickly make a delicious dessert for Ningguang!"
So they quickly returned to Wu Menghai's shop and met Sandoni who had returned at the door.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Sandoni asked when he saw Wu Menghai.
"We want to prepare a gift for Ningguang and make some snacks," said Wu Menghai.
Sandoni shook his head: "You guys in Liyue are really such a hassle to meet each other."
When Wu Menghai and the others entered the store, the mascot standing outside the door, no, the masked shrine maiden Hanasari, looked curiously at Sandone who was standing at the door like her.
Her outfit is really strange, it must be a maid outfit.
Hanasari spoke in a friendly manner: "Hello, what kind of cat demon are you talking about? I have never seen one before."
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Sandoni explode: "You are the cat demon! I think you are not a human being!"
"Calm down, I'm a shrine maiden from Inazuma. I can also help you check if you have any symptoms of being invaded by evil spirits." Hanasari said.
"I'm in a bad mood now, so don't provoke me." Sandoni panted.
Inside the store, Wu Menghai and Ying assisted Ying in making new desserts full of love.
Finally, with Wu Menghai's slight guidance, the idea of Paimon's "Ice Slime" was initially formed.
Don't worry about the ingredients, Wu Menghai and Ying have plenty of them. If you want fresh ones, Wu Menghai also has them. They are 100% not pre-prepared ingredients and are very fresh.
First, knead the slime into a ball and add the sweet flower...
"Then what?" Ying looked at Paimeng.
"Just cook it with a 'crackling' feeling. This dish must be very suitable for an extremely noble being like Ningguang." Paimon said it but it was as if he hadn't said anything.
There's no other way. In the end, it all depends on Ying's basic cooking skills. Fortunately, after experiencing so many worlds, she is confident in her cooking skills, so even researching new dishes is no problem.
In the end, Ying relied on her extremely skilled techniques to make frosted slime that looked super good.
Wu Menghai couldn't help but praise the finished product when he looked at it. It had only been less than half an hour since he came here, and without any recipe, he had made a perfect product just by relying on the messy ingredients he gave and Paimeng's ambiguous words.
But what has formed now is very different from the frosted slime that Wu Menghai originally knew.
Because there were also many fruits brought by Wu Menghai that were ground into sauce and placed on the plate.
But it should be more appetizing than the original one.
"Well, the gift for the meeting is ready, but I feel like something is missing..." Paimon pondered.
Wu Menghai said, "It's a gift box! Let's go to Mingxingzhai across the street and choose a noble and beautiful gift box!"
"Yes, that's it!" Paimeng hammered with his little hand.
"Wow~" While Ying and Paimon were packing the frosted slime carefully, Columbia was secretly staring at them from the side.
She was originally singing happily for everyone at the door, but after smelling the sweet scent, she stopped singing and stayed inside for a long time.
It smelled delicious, and the finished product looked great too, so she wanted to try it too.
But Columbia knew that this was an offering they prepared specifically for others and she couldn't steal it.
Although she thought so, when they were about to leave, Columbia still lay on Wu Menghai and couldn't get rid of him.
"Okay, I'll take you there. Anyway, even though Ningguang only asked two of us to go, you and Paimon don't count as one person." Wu Menghai finally softened his heart and put on Columbia.
Seeing Ying taking care of little Paimeng, there was no need for him to envy her. He could also take care of a little Columbia, right? If she grew up, Wu Menghai would not be willing to take her with him.
Although Sandone seemed lonely without Columbia's harassment, she was also happier. She was tired of hearing about it and it would be better to have some peace and quiet for a while.
"So that's how it is. Then how did you put on the cat tail? I'm very curious." Now that he has a companion, Hua Sanli is no longer taciturn and unexpectedly enjoys chatting with her.
"What is it to you?" But Sandoni was very unhappy with Hanasari. This guy was so annoying!
"Welcome!" Hanasari said quickly as another customer arrived. Having been a welcoming mascot for so long, she was already quite skilled.
"Since you are standing here, when you see guests, don't just stand there. Say welcome. If you are dressed as a cat, it is best to say welcome, meow~" Hanasari, as an older sister with experience, teaches the new girl Sandone.
Sandone clenched her fists. Could she still be bullied here?
