On the other side of the desolate sea.
Wendy looked up from her phone and suddenly chuckled.
The Dragon King asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
“My best friend just told me that he can cure my cat allergy.”
"Oh? Does that mean we can go to the Cattail Tavern together for a drink next time we're in Mondstadt?"
"Yes."
"Ok, Ok."
"Hehehe."
"No, could you please stop laughing so strangely?"
"Sorry, but the thought of finally being able to pet cats whenever I want just makes me a little restless..."
"You're really like this, Barbatos!"
"Cats are so cute, what's wrong with liking them?"
"Good good..."
"Now I can openly ask Diona for a drink."
Chapter 581 Night Palace (4K)
Hanamizaka, Naganohara Fireworks Shop.
Xiaogong walked out of the store with a bright and energetic look on his face, carrying a bunch of packed boxes in his arms, and shouted loudly to the people behind him.
"Dad, I'm going to Narukami Shrine to deliver goods. I won't be back for lunch!"
"Be careful on the road!"
"Know it!"
Xiaogong answered loudly again.
There was nothing I could do; after all, my dad's hearing wasn't very good.
I had seen a doctor before, and the doctor said it was probably because he had experimented with fireworks too many times in the past, and the explosions at close range had damaged his ears.
But her father didn't seem to care, always smiling, and even said that her grandfather's hearing wasn't good either.
Xiaogong sighed, a little worried. She wondered if she would become a hard-of-hearing old woman herself...
A hired horse-drawn carriage was parked outside the fireworks shop.
Xiaogong placed all the finished fireworks boxes on the carriage, and then got on the carriage himself.
While the carriage was traveling, she took out a light novel she had just bought from Yaedo the night before and leaned against the window to read it with great interest.

Sumeru, transformed into a city wall.
Ke Lai then brewed another bowl of bitter medicine for Ying.
After finishing her drink, Ying couldn't help but frown and stick out her tongue.
Paimon handed him a glass of water, saying, "Here, rinse your mouth!"
Ying took a sip and felt much better: "Thanks, Paimon."
Cole looked at them and asked, "What would you like to eat this morning?"
Paimon immediately said, "Instant noodles! And canned braised beef!"
Where is Ying?
"I can do it."
"Then let's eat instant noodles."
Seeing Cole take out several packs of instant noodles and a few cans of food from the ring in her hand, Paimon asked curiously, "Cole, how many instant noodles do you have left?"
"There's not much left, maybe enough for us to eat for three or four days."
"Three or four days..."
Paimon looked worried, as if he was thinking about the days when he wouldn't have instant noodles to eat.
"What should I do? I feel like I don't want to eat anything else anymore."
While boiling water, Ke Lai said, "It's okay, I still have a lot of Lao Gan Die sauce here, it goes well with rice."
Paimon sighed and said, "I wish I could eat instant noodles every day."
Although Ying had similar thoughts to Paimon, she still said, "Can you not be so greedy, Paimon?"
Paimon retorted confidently, "I just like eating instant noodles, is that wrong?"
Ying sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine, fine..."
Just then, Tinari walked in from the kitchen doorway: "You're all here."
Paimon turned and shouted, "It's Tinari!"
Cole looked at him and said, "Master."
Ying also greeted him politely, "Tinari, good morning."
Tina's expression remained unchanged as she nodded slightly: "Yes, good morning, everyone."
"Has Master had breakfast?"
"not yet."
"Then come and eat with us."
"Alright, I'd also like to ask you about some things."
"Master, do you want to ask about what happened yesterday afternoon?"
“That’s right. I heard that the three of you went to the valley and successfully eliminated the [Dead Zone] that appeared.”
Paimon immediately said smugly, "Yes! Aren't the three of us amazing!"
Tina glanced at her, shook her head, and said, "Your actions were too reckless..."
Ke Lai bowed her head: "I'm sorry, Master."
Tina said again, "There's no need to apologize, Cole. I know you were worried. It's good that you're all alright. Tell me in detail about how you eliminated the [Dead Zone] yesterday."
"Ok."
Cole and Ying recounted what they had seen and heard yesterday afternoon to Tinari.
After listening, Tinali fell into deep thought.
He looked up at Ying and asked, "You mean, at the last moment, the fungus charged at Kolei, but then suddenly died?"
Ying nodded and said, "Mm."
"There is such a thing..."
"Is it because the [Dead Zone Tumor] has been eliminated?"
"I'm not entirely sure either, because every time I clear out the [Dead Zone], I eliminate the mushroom beasts first, and then remove the [Dead Zone Tumor] last."
"That's it..."
"The water's boiled," Ke Lai said. "We can make instant noodles now."
Paimon exclaimed excitedly, "Yay!"
The noodles are ready.
Ke Lai heated up a few more cans and asked, "Master, would you like to try some? Braised beef?"
Tina sniffed the air and nodded gently. "Okay."
Paimon took a bite and exclaimed with satisfaction, "It's still so delicious!"
Tina took a bite, a hint of surprise in his eyes. It was the first time he had ever tasted food made by Xia Zhi: "The ingredients are of high quality, the seasoning is exquisite, in short—it's delicious."
We all had breakfast together.
Tina then explained the real reason she had come to see them: "Several [Dead Zones] have suddenly appeared near Huacheng Guo, and I can't handle them all by myself, so I'd like to ask the two of you to come and help me out."
Cole nodded: "Yes, Master."
Ying nodded: "You took us in, so it's only right that we help you."
Paimon complained, "Hey, why only ask those two?! I need to help keep watch! I'm very useful too!"
Tina said seriously, "Then I'll leave it to the three of you. Here's the route map. If you need anything, you can go directly to the warehouse to get it. The situation in the [Dead Zone] is strange, so be careful."
"Ok!"
