Chapter 218 12 Things
"It's better to just call it a rice cooker!" Paimon looked at the rice cooking mechanism and said slowly.
Master Liuyun Jiefeng's eyes narrowed, ready to open his mouth to reprimand, but he saw Paimeng shaking his head and heard him say, "Forget it, maybe the creator of this mechanism didn't want to change the name randomly."
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was slightly stunned, then turned his head and snorted, "This Immortal will reluctantly accept your respect!"
Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun smiled and said, "Liuyun, you are still so dishonest."
"You're obviously extremely happy in your heart! Hahaha." True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang laughed.
True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng did not refute, and seemed to tacitly agree with this statement, saying: "Alas, I recall that in the past, I created the weaving loom and blessed the people with it, but now no one knows about it."
Zhongli sighed, "Don't be sad about the present when you reminisce about the past. Traveling in the world is a kind of accumulation. When the pickled pork with preserved vegetables is ready, let's taste it together."
"Come to think of it." Paimeng murmured, "If Mo Ran hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known that Zhongli wanted to invite us."
Zhong Li's face froze, and he could only say: "Mr. Mo Ran is indeed a great talent who knows others well. He can remember things that I occasionally forget. I really admire him."
Mo Ran rolled his eyes helplessly and remained silent.
Gan Yu was silent for a long time. Now that she knew the real situation of the idler, she suppressed her excitement and thought to herself, "Could the Emperor forget things? Could he be talking about the fact that I forgot to give the traveler an invitation last time? What should I do? What should I do!"
Mo Ran probably knew that Gan Yu was going to complain about herself again, so he gave her a reassuring look and smiled gently.
Gan Yu's dull eyes were now rejuvenated, as bright as the stars in the sky. She said to herself, "This is Lord Mo Ran's affirmation of me. Gan Yu will definitely work hard!"
Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun, who was injecting immortal power at the side, reported back: "Emperor, the pickled pork with preserved vegetables is ready."
"Okay, I'll come right away." Zhongli nodded slightly, opened the lid, pondered for a moment, and praised: "The color is rich and the smell is mellow. The cooking skills of this cooking machine are not bad."
"If the Emperor likes it, I will make a few more and send them to your house!" Master Liuyun Jiefeng took advantage of the opportunity to promote his own mechanical creation.
Mo Ran looked at this scene and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, as if thousands of years ago, when his sister made the Cleansing Dust Bell, Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun once said that mechanisms could not replace the craftsmanship of living beings.
Now, such a thing seems to have happened to him again. After all, the Rock King personally praised the craftsmanship of the Kitchen God and Mo Ran, and now he is even more impressed with this mechanism. Could it be...
Yixiaodaotian Zhenjun was the first to smell something unusual and slowly walked over to a man in black. Although he was usually careless and seemed like a brave but foolish man, he was actually very active in mind and just didn't show it.
"Hey, Mo Ran, Gui Zhong and A Ping had a competition because of this. Why don't you express your opinion and ask the most fair and just referee in the world to have a fair competition?"
Mo Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "What has happened before will happen again, and what has been done before will be done again, but... there have to be some exceptions."
"Anyway, I won't be cooking today, so if you guys want to watch the competition, you'd better give up."
Seeing this, True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang said, "It's alright, we have a lot of time to go. We can just compete again tomorrow. We're determined to see this competition!"
"That's right, the contract is done. Anyone who breaks his promise will be punished by eating rocks!" Lishui Dieshan Zhenjun made a prompt decision and signed a contract.
Mo Ran smiled but did not answer. He said, "As long as I am still in Liyue, I can watch the competition anytime. I also have to deal with the follow-up of the Lantern Festival. Let's wait for a while."
Zhongli glanced at the man in black, his eyes slightly surprised, and then said: "The pickled pork with preserved vegetables is out of the pot, it's better to taste it while it's hot. We can talk about the competition later."
The immortals then gave up and ran to eat the Yan Du Xian. However, in front of the juniors, they couldn't let go and had to swallow it bit by bit. It took them a quarter of an hour to finish a small bowl.
Four immortals including Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang gathered together and whispered.
Xie Yue: "If I had known Liu Yun had this treasure, I should have asked her for one."
Li Shui: "You and I have never been interested in mechanical arts, nor do we covet the desire for food, so it would be useless for us to come here."
Xie Yue: "That's not the case. If I knew some cooking skills, I wouldn't have let this kid cook for himself when Shen He came to stay in my cave..."
Liu Yun: "You guys are not interested in mechanical engineering, right? It's obvious that you can't learn it!"
"Also, you two are really ignorant. You are already old, but you still can't cook. You actually let the troublesome kid do it. You really bring shame to the Immortal Family!"
Yixiao: “Hahahaha…”
True Lord Xue Yue Zhu Yang and True Lord Li Shui Die Shan lowered their heads silently without saying a word, because this matter was indeed embarrassing. They were immortals, but were actually worse than a child. No one would believe it if they told others about it.
Seeing that both of them admitted their mistakes in their hearts, Master Liuyun Jiefeng stopped talking. She was very caring towards her nephew Shen He, almost like her own disciple.
…………
After noon, after noon.
The banquet that was not a banquet in Jueyunjian also came to an end. The immortals traveled around the world together. Ganyu and Shenhe, two immortal disciples, returned to Liyue Harbor together.
On Mo Ran's side, at the request of the yellow-haired, blond-haired and white-haired trio, he used his magic to take them flying in the air and return to Liyue Harbor.
Morax was the only one left there, all alone with the mountain. He held a square cup in his hand, slowly sipping the precious tea given by an old friend. He looked at the man in black who was about to disappear from his sight. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
In Liyue Harbor, people were coming and going, and it was still prosperous and bustling. The three of them planned to go and tell the Fontaine musician about the news about the immortal.
Mo Ran had nothing to do, so he followed them to the place they had agreed to meet.
Along the way, Paimeng looked around and wandered in front of various snack stalls. He had a lot of grilled snacks in his hands, but he only took a bite of most of them and threw them to Ying or Kong.
They are almost cut from the same mold as those kids who want to buy food to try even though they clearly can’t finish it or don’t really like it.
Mo Ran refused the food sent by Paimeng, not because he disliked her, but because he had just eaten lunch. Although it had no impact on his current strength, he still had the habit of not eating snacks after meals.
Guessing lantern riddles is a traditional activity that is essential to the Hai Lantern Festival. Residents can use their brains to guess the lantern riddles. The one with the highest score will receive a prize from the organizer and have good luck for smooth sailing in the coming year.
Nearby, Dvorak, who was wearing red clothes and a red hat but was not an elf, and Keqing, who was wearing purple clothes and purple hair, stood side by side.
Paimon handed over everything in his hand to Kong, and then made a long story short, explaining the origins of the immortal.
Dvorak's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he murmured to himself, "It turns out that the music our ancestors heard was composed by one of the three immortals who were traveling on a trip."
"Perhaps that's why our ancestors passed down the words, 'This is the most beautiful music in the world, and it can dispel sadness and sorrow for those who hear it.'"
Paimon was surprised and said, "Uncle's first reaction is so special. Is it really the way of thinking that only musicians have? However, it seems that some people are not like this!"
The little floating object looked at the man in black. The meaning was obvious. Dvorak looked at him and asked, "Is this gentleman also a musician?"
"No, I just have a basic understanding." Mo Ran shook his head. As for music theory, he only knew Liyue's music theory. Even apart from the flute, he only had a rough understanding of it. He was no match for those musicians who were proficient in everything.
Dvorak nodded and continued, "I still find it hard to believe what Paimon just said. Such a beautiful fairy has become an old lady now."
"That's something I can relate to. It's said that the immortals in Liyue can keep their appearance unchanged. Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun, that's the immortal. She must have wanted to grow old."
Paimeng looked at the man in black with a smile on his face, and said, "Compared to that, the two who used to travel with us, the God of Dust and the True Lord of Demon-Extermination, are much younger!"
Mo Ran flicked his finger on Paimon's head and sighed, "The appearance has changed, but the heart will not change, just like some of the Thousand Rocks soldiers who survived the defense of Liyue Harbor. Even in their old age, they still have a heart to defend their country."
"Although time has passed and their glory days are gone, their determination to serve their country and join the army will never change."
As he spoke, he looked around, at this land fought for with blood. Perhaps the soldiers of the Qianyan Group in the cemetery would feel relieved if they knew about it.
"Sorry, I was just talking to myself. You guys continue." Mo Ran sighed and said no more.
Keqing looked at the woman in black with a look of ambiguity in her eyes and said, "Ge Chenlangshi Zhenjun is well-educated and wise. No matter what identity and appearance she chooses, her clear mind will not change."
"Keqing is the one who would say, 'Hey, that's what I meant.' Unlike Mo Ran, he's kind of off topic." Paimeng said, stroking his horse.
Keqing helped explain: "Actually, what Mr. Mo Ran said is right, it's just that the object has been replaced."
Kong and Ying looked at each other and smiled.
"No, I have to..." Dvorak took a few breaths and said, "I have to go and thank the immortal in person after the concert. I want to devote my current mood and best attitude to this performance!"
Mo Ran said slowly: "Then I wish you a complete success in your performance. I think the immortals will also be listening to this performance from afar in places unknown to others."
"Is this true?" Dvorak's eyes trembled, and he was extremely shocked, but his expression became depressed and he no longer had the enthusiasm he had just had. He said, "Well... Not good, I'm starting to get nervous."
Paimon comforted him, "Relax, it's okay!"
Mo Ran also said: "The immortals will be watching you to complete this performance. Just show your truest self and don't be nervous."
"Okay, okay." Dvorak managed to calm down and said hastily, "No! I have to rehearse a few more times. Ladies and gentlemen, I have to excuse myself first."
