The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 317 respective preparations

While the Kamisato family was busy preparing for the banquet, Kurumi had already brought Zhongli and Ruojin towards the Kamisato family. From the exquisite gift boxes in their hands, it was not difficult to tell that the gift was prepared with great care.

"I say, Zhongli, didn't I just take some tea leaves from you? Why do I feel like you look so distressed?"

"Why don't you buy some more when you return to Liyue? This little bit of tea can be considered a gift for the four of us to give to Linghua. When we leave, we'll need her to take care of our Inazuma branch of the Wangsheng Hall."

Although Zhongli had already reached the point where he did not show his emotions, Hu Tao, with her understanding of Zhongli, still noticed the slight weirdness in Zhongli's eyes. The naive Hu Tao thought that Zhongli was reluctant to give up the tea leaves, so Hu Tao started to educate Zhongli the same way Zhongli had educated her before, which made Zhongli even more helpless.

"Master, I'm not reluctant. From a universal point of view, what you said does make sense, but have you ever thought about what else you can drink besides water and wine during the voyage?"

"Forehead......"

Zhongli's words made Hu Tao stunned. She suddenly felt that what Zhongli said did make sense. If all these good teas were given to Kamisato Ayato, then she might only be able to drink water when sailing on the sea. Based on her understanding of Beidou, she didn't think that there would be such a thing as tea on the ship of Big Sister Beidou.

For Ruojin, he didn't have much feeling. To him, there was no difference between drinking tea and drinking water. If possible, he would like to solve the problem of Ruota Dragon King's seasickness. As the time of leaving Inazuma got closer, Ruojin found that Ruota Dragon King didn't talk much because of seasickness.

As for Mona, she is more interested in coffee than tea, especially when sailing on the sea, Mona feels that the bitterness of coffee is more suitable for her.

"Forget it. Since I have decided to give it away, I will not regret it. At worst, I can go to Ying to ask for money."

After thinking about the question raised by Zhongli, Hu Tao decided to give away this high-quality tea. After all, when she invited Linghua to be her guest, Linghua gave her a valuable piece of clothing, so she, Hu Tao, had to show some sincerity.

As for drinks, Hu Tao felt that Ying should have collected a lot in the treasure bag. She saw with her own eyes that Ying bought a lot of tea before leaving Liyue Harbor. Tea can easily get damp if left for a long time, so before the tea gets damp, it should be no problem for her, her good friend, to help Ying share some of the burden.

"From a common sense perspective, Master, what you are doing seems a little unfair."

"Hey~"

Hu Tao blinked mischievously and acted cute like Wendy. Seeing that his child was showing signs of being led astray by the drunkard Wendy, Zhongli frowned and secretly decided to try to keep his child away from that scoundrel Wendy. After only a few contacts, Hu Tao became like this. If this continued, Zhongli was worried that Hu Tao, the child he had watched grow up, would be led astray by Wendy.

At this moment, Wendy, who was drinking cider in Angel's Gift, sneezed heavily. He rubbed his nose and looked around, then he muttered to himself in some confusion.

"There are no cats around, why am I sneezing so loudly? It's really strange."

Just as Wendy was looking around in confusion, in the Arotaki faction's headquarters, Ikto was carefully putting his gift into the gift box prepared by Kuki Shinobu. Originally, Ikto didn't want to go through so much trouble, but Kuki Shinobu would also go this time, and Kuki Shinobu insisted that Ikto prepare a gift. After all, this was Inazuma's basic etiquette, and Kuki Shinobu didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Kamisato Ayaka, her new friend, because of etiquette.

"Boss, I really don't understand why you would give two ghost beetles as gifts. It's not like our Arawaki faction is short of funds recently..."

After putting the gift she had carefully prepared into the gift box, Kuki Shinobu looked at the gift prepared by Ichido and complained helplessly. However, because this kind of thing happened frequently, Kuki Shinobu was no longer surprised. Anyway, as long as the gift was prepared, a ghost beetle or something like that could be considered a token of thought.

"Ninja, you don't understand. This is a romance between me and Ayato."

Ichito didn't take Jiuqi Shinobu's complaints to heart at all. In his opinion, these two carefully selected ghost beetles were very precious gifts. Their status in his heart was only slightly lower than that of the Seven Saints Summoning Card, the back of which could shine in the sun.

"Okay, I really don't understand, but the word 'romantic' doesn't seem to apply here, right?"

Looking at such an irrelevant boss, Jiuqi Shinobu complained again, but fortunately she had prepared a beautiful dress for Linghua, and the gift of Yidou could be regarded as a bonus. Presumably, the head of the Kamisato family would not care about these.

While Ichito and Kuki Shinobu were still wrapping the gifts, the door of Naganohara Fireworks Shop was pushed open and Xiao Gong jumped out.

"Dad, I'm going out now."

"Remember to come back early, I won't lock the door at night." Seeing his daughter running towards Kamisato's house and waving, the old man in front of the Naganohara fireworks shop watched her leave with a smile. It can be seen that the old man is very satisfied that Yoshimiya can be friends with Kamisato's family.

"Ying, can you hurry up? If you can't think of a gift to bring, the party will start soon."

"Paimon, stop pushing me. I'm looking for it right now. Also, why do I always have to think about this kind of thing? Can't you help me share some of the burden?"

Seeing that Paimon was only thinking about going to the banquet and eating a lot without using his brain at all, Ying rolled her eyes at Paimon. Paimon scratched his head and smiled, not showing any sign of using his brain at all.

"As a large family in Inazuma, the Kamisato family should have no shortage of common things. What should we give them as a gift?"

"By the way, Ying, didn't we help a Fontaine man assemble robot toys a few days ago? I remember he gave us two as gifts. Why don't we give those two robot toys to Linghua? They're useless anyway."

Those two robot toys? Yes, why didn't she think of that? Paimon's words undoubtedly reminded Ying that there were two such things in her collection. She took out the two robot toys and looked at the two strange robot toys in front of her. Ying felt a little tangled in her heart.

Would a young lady like Linghua really like these two strange robot toys? This kind of toys seemed to be popular only in Fontaine? She had never seen this kind of toys when she traveled to Mondstadt and Liyue before.

Forget it. Scarcity makes things valuable. Maybe Linghua likes it very much. After thinking for a long time, she couldn’t think of a better gift. Ying took the gift box and put the two robots into it.

"Paimon, let's go to Kamisato's house."

"Great!"

In the old site of the Kaedehara family, the house that was originally covered with dust has become tidy after being cleaned by Manye. Because the old senior, Long Diao Ping Isshin, has been talking about revitalizing the Kaedehara family, Manye had no choice but to reach a cooperation with Tenryo Bugyo and redeem his old house.

According to the old senior Long Diaoping Yixin, the clan land is the foundation of a family. Without the clan land, there is no way to revive the family, so Wan Ye redeemed the clan land.

Perhaps because of Man Ye's reputation for blocking the general's sword, after Man Ye completed Tenryo Bugyo's sword forging commission, the amount of Mora that Tenryo Bugyo paid to Man Ye far exceeded Man Ye's expectations, which also made Man Ye return some Mora to Beidou.

"Senior, do you have any good recommendations for gifts?"

Thinking of Thomas inviting him to attend the Kamisato family's banquet tonight, Manye felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head. The Kaedehara family didn't seem to have anything to offer now, and Manye really couldn't think of what gift to give.

"Well, let me think about it. I seem to have heard about gifts somewhere before."

This is the advantage of having an old man at home. Wan Ye, who was originally unfamiliar with this kind of banquet, now does not need to worry about gifts at all. With the presence of the old senior, Long Diao Ping Yi Xin, Wan Ye said that he does not need to think about this kind of problem at all, and can just prepare according to the old senior's instructions.

"I got it. Didn't you forge a nice sword a few days ago, Manye? Take that as a gift. Our Kaedehara family has now separated from the affiliated families of the Kamisato family. As a gift, we naturally have to show the strength of our Kaedehara family."

After thinking for a while, Long Diaoping Yixin's words rang in Wan Ye's mind. Wan Ye looked at his empty house and thought, can one person and a knife be called a family?

"Manye boy, relax. The Kaedehara family will definitely regain its former glory in your hands. You are the one who blocked General Raiden's sword."

Noticing that Wan Ye was feeling a little lonely, Long Diaoping Yixin comforted Wan Ye with a few words. Hearing Long Diaoping Yixin's encouragement, Wan Ye put away his confusion. He felt that what Long Diaoping Yixin said was not wrong. If he did not have confidence in himself, then revitalizing the Fengyuan family would only become a fading statement.

He will definitely revitalize the Fengyuan family, but before that, he needs to build a few more toilets in the Fengyuan family mansion, because the Fengyuan family is too big, and Man Ye is worried that the future descendants of the Fengyuan family will face the same problems he did when he was a child.

No, now is not the time to think about these things. Wan Ye shook his head and erased the bad memories of his childhood from his mind. He turned around and looked at the knife he had forged not long ago. The quality of this knife was indeed good and it would be suitable as a gift.
