The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 392 Ye Lan and Shen He

The Moon-Chasing Festival is approaching. Walking on the streets of Liyue Harbor, Shen He still feels a little uncomfortable with the hustle and bustle of the streets, even though she has lived in Liyue Harbor for a while. The people here seem to be full of hope for life, and everyone has a smile on their face. But if she looks closely, she can easily find that the smiles on these people's faces are fake.

"Boss, why is that smile on your face so fake?"

Following the principle of asking if you don't understand, during the free time when Ye Lan left Shen He to wander around on his own, Shen He very straightforwardly asked the flower seller nearby.

"Little girl, what do you know? This is called smiling service. Go away, don't interfere with my business. If you really want to know, five thousand Mora flowers per flower, how many flowers do you buy, and I will tell you."

The boss was stunned by Shen He's question, but he was also a little angry because the smile on his face was seen through. However, when he saw that the clothes Shen He was wearing did not seem to be affordable by ordinary people, the boss did not change his expression immediately. Instead, he wanted to make some money from Shen He with the idea of ​​​​cheating him.

"But I don't have Mora."

Shen He touched the place where she put the Mora, and when she found nothing, she remembered that when she passed by the orphanage just now, she put the Mora in her pocket into the charity box in front of the orphanage. Now she was penniless.

"Huh? No Mora? You're just a little girl. If you don't have Mora, don't hang around in front of me. It's really unlucky."

When the boss heard Shen He say that she didn't have Mora, his face turned pale and he pushed Shen He aside. It was a rare festival in Liyue, and the flow of people today was unusually large. If he could seize this opportunity, he would definitely make a lot of money from those women who liked flowers. Thinking of the golden Mora, the flower seller showed a fake smile on his face again. After all, service attitude was quite important if he wanted to sell flowers.

Shen He, who was driven away, was stunned for a moment. Then, sensing Ye Lan's return, she looked at Ye Lan with confusion in her eyes. Seeing that her silly best friend was wronged and didn't even know it, Ye Lan narrowed her eyes slightly, took Shen He's hand, and decisively walked towards the flower vendor who was also selling flowers nearby.

Although Ye Lan always says that Shen He is troublesome, in fact no one in Liyue Harbor cares about Shen He more than Ye Lan. Due to Ye Lan's work, there are very few people who can make friends with Ye Lan.

It is a rare occasion that Master Liuyun Jiefeng has entrusted Shen He to her. During these days of getting along, Ye Lan also regarded Shen He as her best friend. Now that her best friend has been bullied, can she, Ye Lan, tolerate it?

Coming to a flower vendor nearby, Ye Lan looked at the various flowers placed on the ground and asked directly.

"Boss, your flowers look great, how much are they?"

"Ma'am, they are all 500 Mora each, take your pick."

When the vendor saw the businessman, he hurriedly stopped watering the flowers and introduced the various flowers on the stall to Ye Lan. After hearing that one flower was five hundred Mora, Ye Lan, who was in charge of intelligence, nodded slightly. According to the current price of flowers in Liyue, five hundred Mora was not expensive.

"Okay, please help me pack all these flowers and then send them to the Yanshang Tea House."

"All, all included?"

Suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears, the vendor looked at Ye Lan in confusion. He had been selling flowers at a stall for many years, but this was the first time he had encountered someone who wanted to take all the flowers from his stall. "Yes, this is the check, no more, no less. Just send the remaining Mora and these flowers to the Yanshang Tea House."

Looking at the check that Ye Lan handed over, the vendor reacted and hurriedly took the check and started to work busy at the stall. Ye Lan took Shen He's hand and went directly to a high-rise building in the commercial street. Shen He, who was a little puzzled by Ye Lan's behavior, tilted his head and looked at Ye Lan.

Ye Lan did not explain much to Shen He, but pointed at the vendor who drove Shen He away. Shen He's eyes narrowed, and she found that the smile on the vendor's face was even more fake, and this time, his eyes were full of jealousy and regret.

"The reason why this person's smile was so fake before was because there was a flower vendor next to him. As the saying goes, competitors are enemies. With such a competitor around, the vendor would naturally not be happy."

"But he was worried that if he kept a straight face, customers would go to the store next door to buy flowers, so he could only put on a fake smile."

Ye Lan leaned against a pillar, letting the warm wind blow on her face. With the wind came the aroma of various dishes. It was obvious that many people in Liyue Harbor were preparing very seriously for the chef competition.

"Then why did his smile become even more fake? Obviously, no one went to buy flowers from him just now."

Shen He was a little confused. When she went to ask the vendor a question just now, no one went to buy flowers. Now still no one went to buy flowers. The vendor's smile became even more fake.

"This is the jealousy of human beings. Because there were no customers buying the flowers from the two flower vendors just now, the guy who was mean to you naturally wouldn't be jealous of the other vendor."

"After I go to another vendor and buy all the flowers, the reputation of this vendor will spread because of today's incident, and his business will get better and better. The vendor who was mean to you will become jealous when he sees that people around him are talking about the flowers of another vendor but no one is buying them from him. After all, it's no secret that it's more painful to see others make money than to lose money yourself."

Shen He nodded, not quite understanding. People's hearts are really complicated. It seems that she still has a lot to learn. Seeing Shen He like this, Ye Lan sighed and said.

"Shen He, you still have a lot to learn. Now, come with me to find the guy who tampered with the ingredients for the cooking competition. There are all kinds of people in Liyue Harbor right now. I really don't feel comfortable leaving you alone."

"It's okay, I can do it alone."

Ever since Ye Lan said she sneaked into the Fatui base last time and ended up killing all the living people in the Fatui base, seeing Ye Lan's shocked expression, Shen He felt that maybe she shouldn't follow Ye Lan when she was working.

"No, I'm not worried about you, Shen He. I'm worried about those people who have offended you."

It's strange to worry about those people. I'm more worried about you. After completing the second half of the sentence in her mind, Ye Lan pulled Shen He towards the warehouse where the ingredients were stored, because she received information that the Fatui seemed to have some ideas about those ingredients.
