Chapter 21 Yingmei
"Dandelion! It's a dandelion!" Xiangling pointed forward and exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Shiyuan disconnected himself from the phone and looked in the direction the girl pointed. He saw lush dandelions in front of him. These flowers only bloomed in Mondstadt and were undoubtedly proof that they had set foot in Mondstadt.

Mondstadt is one of the seven kingdoms in this world. It is the territory of Barbatos, the god of wind among the seven gods. It has beautiful scenery and is known as the Pearl of the North. Its main city, Mondstadt, is even known as the City of Freedom.

"We're finally here." Lu Shiyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"According to the map, this should be the Stone Gate. If we continue along the official road, we will pass by the Dawn Winery, then Qingquan Town, and finally arrive at Mondstadt." Xiangling flipped through the map in her hand, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

"Brother Lu, let's set off quickly. If we move faster, we might be able to reach Qingquan Town before dark.

I heard that the pork from Qingquan Town is particularly delicious.

There is also the wine from Chenxi Winery, which must be very good. I wonder how it would be used in cooking. We will take some back with us, but unfortunately I am not old enough, so Brother Lu, you will have to buy it for me when the time comes."

"Yeah." Lu Shiyuan nodded, and a hint of anticipation also arose in his heart. Will he meet the protagonist on this trip?
With an impatient mood, the two men and the bear quickened their pace and walked along the official road.

Walking on this land that was completely different from Liyue, the gentle breeze caressed their faces, as if welcoming the arrival of these travelers.

They had no time to stop and admire the beautiful scenery and hurried on their way. Finally, they successfully arrived at Qingquan Town in the evening.

"Let's go hunting, Brother Lu!" Xiangling said excitedly, "I can already smell the scent of forest pigs."

"Live forest pigs shouldn't emit any pleasant smells, right?" Lu Shiyuan couldn't help but complain, but something in his mind was moved, "Come to think of it, in the game mission "Mondstadt Food Encounter Journey", Xiangling's first appearance and the first time she met the traveler was when she was hunting forest pigs.

So in reality, will these two people meet here again?"

He thought about it for a while, "Anyway, this is also a chance to meet the traveler. I just don't know, is this traveler Ying, or her brother Kong?"

The two men and the bear hid in the bushes and cautiously moved towards the area where the smell of wild boar was detected.

Soon, the smell of wild boar became so strong that even Lu Shiyuan could smell it.

If you slightly push aside the grass, you can see a group of wild boars feeding in the woods. They are strong, healthy, and shiny, completely different from the skinny wild boars in the deep mountains and forests of Liyue.

Lu Shiyuan’s cooking skills are not bad. After seeing these wild boars, he can already imagine what they would look like when they are turned into grilled steaks.

The fat and lean parts are evenly distributed, not greasy or dry, and the meat has a strong flavor.

Oh no, I can’t stop drooling.

He turned his head to look at Xiangling and found that the child had the same expression as him and was also greedy.

However, at this moment, the two of them noticed that there was a... no, two uninvited guests who broke into the wild boars' habitat, and they were unaware that their actions would cause them to be hit by the wild boars or scare them away.

"Tsk." Xiangling looked slightly unhappy.

Lu Shiyuan also had the same feeling at first, but when he saw the faces of the two people clearly, his mood suddenly became brighter.

Then I saw a cute blonde girl wearing a white dress inlaid with blue gems, and a female creature floating in the air, wearing a crown, a white jumpsuit, and a starry sky-colored cloak behind her. She looked no different from a human, but was extremely petite and delicate. They were walking slowly together.

They were talking and laughing and looked very close.

These two are naturally one of the targets of Lu Shiyuan's trip. One of them is Ying, the protagonist of the game, and the other is the mascot Paimon.

"As expected, we meet again." Lu Shiyuan sighed in his heart.

Xiangling couldn't sit still at this time. Seeing the two approaching, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Ying's arm, and pulled her into the bushes. Paimeng, who was catching butterflies nearby, was also startled, and rushed into the bushes, and saw two strange guys there. Ying was a little confused after being caught in the bushes, and Xiangling quickly signaled her to be quiet and pointed her finger at the wild boars.

Now she understood and forgave Xiangling for her rude behavior.

The crowd moved a little further away from the wild boars and talked in low voices.

"Keep your voice down. I'm hunting." Xiangling explained to the two strangers, "I've heard that Mondstadt has a lot of good ingredients. Today, I see that it's really as good as the reputation."

Ying was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you a hunter or an adventurer? And who is the person next to you?"

Xiangling introduced herself generously, "No, no, no, I'm a chef who aspires to travel around the world in search of rare ingredients.

I am from Liyue Harbor, my name is Xiangling, and the person next to me is Brother Lu Shiyuan, whom I regard as my teacher.

what about you? "

"My name is Ying." Ying nodded calmly, but her eyes fell on Lu Shiyuan, because she felt that this silent guy seemed to have been looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Moreover, from beginning to end, I was not at all surprised by her arrival.

Compared to Ying's alertness, Paimon was much more enthusiastic and waved happily, "Hello, I'm Paimon, hello to the tall friend too."

"Oh." Lu Shiyuan came back to his senses, smiled and nodded, "Hello."

"Paimon?" Xiangling fixed her eyes on this strange creature, wondering if it could be eaten.

It’s a pity that Brother Lu is around. If I asked this question, I would definitely be scolded.

"Forget it, it's better not to have any ideas about humanoid intelligent life forms." Thinking this in her mind, Xiangling asked Ying, "By the way, what is your relationship with Paimon?"

"She is my friend." Ying was not in the mood to joke at this time and said directly.

"Of course, we are best friends." Paimon tilted his head happily.

"You guys have such a good relationship. I also have a partner..."

The three girls who had just met started chatting happily and soon became familiar with each other.

"Is my master so vigilant? He actually noticed something wrong with me." Lu Shiyuan thought to himself, "I guess I have to be more careful next time."

The three girls chatted for a while, and Xiangling invited Ying to help catch wild boars. After all, there were so many wild boars that she couldn't catch them all by herself.

"Isn't that guy named Shi Yuan coming to help?" Paimeng couldn't help asking when he saw Lu Shiyuan looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

"That's what Brother Lu is like," Xiangling said as a matter of course, "When the hunting is over, I'll just cook the meat for him."

"No way!" Paimeng was shocked and couldn't help but hold his forehead and mutter to himself, "I always feel that Xiangling is raising a social waste."

Ying looked at Lu Shiyuan, who was leaning against a tree next to the campfire and looking at the sky calmly. Her brows furrowed, but at the same time, she became less wary of Lu Shiyuan.

"I didn't see the Eye of God on this guy, and he looks harmless. Am I overthinking?"
