Chapter 216: Ghosts in Wangshu Inn
As the sun set, Ruojin and his companions, who had taken a shortcut, finally arrived at Wangshu Inn before dark. It was not known whether today was a lucky day for Ruojin and his companions, but they did not encounter any monsters blocking the way along the way and arrived at Wangshu Inn very smoothly.

"Wow, so beautiful."

Standing under the Wangshu Inn and looking up at the brightly lit Wangshu Inn in front of her, Klee exclaimed excitedly. Before, she had only heard from some out-of-town Knights of Favonius that the Wangshu Inn in Liyue was very beautiful at night. Now that she had seen it with her own eyes, Klee felt that it was even more beautiful than those Knights of Favonius had described.

“Ahhhh, we’ve finally arrived at the Wangshu Inn. I feel like if I don’t eat something, I’m going to starve to death.”

Paimeng, who was flying in the air, was also very excited when she saw the bright lights in front of her. Finally, she was here. The delicious food made by Yanxiao. Hi, hi, hi, she, Paimeng, is here~
"Paimon, you must have eaten a lot of fruits along the way, why are you still crying hungry?"

Things are different now than in the past. With the wide-range perception of the earth veins, Ruo Jin and Ying and a few others not only took a shortcut, but there were many fruit trees around this shortcut. It can be said that Paimeng's mouth was never idle along the way, and most of the fruits picked by Ying went into Paimeng's stomach.

"Humph, Ying, those fruits are just appetizers. What are appetizers? They are dishes that make you hungrier the more you eat them. So is there anything wrong with me being hungrier now than before?"

Paimon raised his little head and answered Ying's question with confidence. Ying was stunned for a moment because he did not expect Paimon to answer like that. It seemed that what Paimon said made some sense.

Wait, this makes sense, appetizers are also eaten, right? After thinking about it carefully, Ying quickly shook her head to erase the strange idea that what Paimeng said made sense. She was almost led astray by Paimeng.

Ying breathed a sigh of relief after she realized what was happening. She didn't know if it was because she had been with Paimon for too long, but Ying always felt that Paimon had become a little dumber recently. This made her doubt whether this little emergency food Paimon had the ability to assimilate other people's IQ.

"Come to think of it, I am indeed a little hungry. Ah Jin, let's go and order some food."

After hearing what Paimeng said, Hu Tao's stomach also started to growl. Thinking that the chef of Wangshu Inn seemed to have the same cooking skills as Xiangling, Hu Tao couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

After eating Mondstadt cuisine for many days in Mondstadt, Hu Tao no longer wants to eat Mondstadt cuisine. Of course, this is not because Mondstadt cuisine is not delicious, but compared to Liyue cuisine, Hu Tao still feels that Liyue cuisine is more accustomed to her.

After hearing Hu Tao's words, everyone who didn't notice that Ying was almost led astray by Paimeng also felt hungry. In order to save time, everyone only ate some dry food at noon, and now the dry food in their stomachs had long been digested.

"Boss, I want to order some food."

They took the elevator to the second floor of Wangshu Inn. As soon as they stepped into the lobby of Wangshu Inn, before they had time to find a seat to sit down, Paimon shouted to Philgodette at the counter to order food.

Philgodette, who was counting the bill, frowned slightly when she heard someone calling for an order. She had clearly posted a notice this morning that Wangshu Inn would not provide meals that day, so how come there were still people coming to eat? Could it be that some naughty kid had taken down the notice she had posted?
Just when he was thinking of putting on a smile to fool these guests who came to dine, Philgodette had already developed the habit of keeping an eye on all directions and listening carefully, and he immediately saw Ruo Jin's figure among the people. In an instant, a bright smile appeared on Philgodette's face.

"Hey, isn't this Master Ruojin? Why didn't Master Ruojin say hello before he came?"

"Ms. Philgodette, long time no see. Today I am here with a friend to stay overnight and have a meal."

After finding a seat near the window, Ruo Jin greeted Filgodette in a familiar manner. Seeing that there were empty tables all around during dinner time, Ruo Jin, who knew how popular Wangshu Inn was, asked curiously, "Ms. Filgodette, the business of Wangshu Inn is not very good today. How come there is not even one person eating there? Could it be that Yan Xiao made some new dishes that scared away the guests? Then Miss Filgodette, you have to deduct his salary."

You should know that Wangshu Inn is the only formal resting place on the road between Liyue and Mondstadt. No matter whether it is the Liyue caravan or the Mondstadt caravan, Wangshu Inn is their best choice for rest. And as a transportation hub, as long as nothing happens in Mondstadt and Liyue, there should be no guests eating here at this time.

Could it be that something happened in Liyue Harbor? Ruo Jin's heart tightened. He had just come out of Mondstadt. Even if something happened in Mondstadt, it was impossible for the people at Wangshu Inn to receive the news so quickly. Then the only explanation left was Liyue.

"Master Ruojin, there was a small problem in the kitchen today. Yanxiao couldn't cook, so no one came to eat."

"But since you are here, Master Ruojin, I'll ask Yanxiao to cook something for you on the simple stove downstairs. The cooking speed may be a little slow, so I'll make you a pot of good tea and some cakes to fill your stomach first."

Filgodette twisted her slender waist and walked from behind the counter to the table to explain to Ruojin. As she spoke, some expensive pastries that Filgodette asked Yanxiao to make to satisfy her craving were placed on the table.

Watching the cakes on the table being eaten piece by piece by the mascot named Paimon, Filgodette, who had not yet eaten a few pieces, felt her heart bleeding. If Ruojin, the immortal disciple, was not a person who Lord Ningguang had personally instructed not to offend, Filgodette might not even bother to treat him perfunctorily, let alone the cakes.

"There's something wrong in the kitchen. Could it be that Yan Xiao blew it up?"

Hearing that nothing was wrong with Liyue Harbor and that there was only a problem in the kitchen, Ruojin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Reassured, Ruojin also jokingly guessed what went wrong in the kitchen.

"Master Ruojin is joking. The problem in the kitchen is that Yanxiao said he saw a little girl ghost in the kitchen this morning. He said he would spend a lot of money to find a master to exorcise the ghost. He would only continue to go to the kitchen to cook after the master has exorcised the ghost."

"Look, tonight a so-called master heard the news and came to exorcise ghosts. His name seems to be Tianjun Duoxing Juchen."

Although she felt sorry for her pastries, her good professionalism made Philgodette's smile still so bright. Not only that, she also enthusiastically answered Ruojin's questions.

The Star-Grabbing Heavenly Monarch? ?
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Ruo Jin frowned slightly. He seemed to have never heard of the name of this immortal before by the Dragon King Ruota. In order to prevent him from forgetting, Ruo Jin specifically asked the Dragon King Ruota.

"Master Ruota, have you heard of this sage?"

"The Celestial Monarch Who Grabs Stars and Seizes Stars? As far as I can remember, there doesn't seem to be any immortal with this title."

The Dragon King Ruota thought for a while and gave his answer. In response to the Dragon King Ruota saying so, Ruo Jin thought to himself that he was right. This person was just a liar who claimed to be a true master. And when it came to exorcising ghosts, Hu Tao beside him was the professional.
