The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 79 During the banquet

There was a crisp sound of glasses clinking together, followed by the sound of big gulps of drinking. After drinking all the juice in the glass, Ying looked at Captain Qin who was toasting with her in distress.

Maybe her appearance was too misleading, Captain Jean actually classified her as a minor and refused to give her a sip of wine no matter what she said. She had been in Mondstadt for so many days, but she had never had a sip of wine in this country of wind and wine. It was unbelievable.

"My dear, if you want to taste the wine, that's fine. Come on, open your mouth."

Lisa picked up a chopstick and dipped it in the wine glass, then put the chopstick close to Ying's mouth. Several black lines appeared on Ying's forehead. What did Lisa think of her? A child like Klee?

After hesitating for a moment, the curiosity about the taste of the cider overwhelmed the shame and Ying stuck out her tongue to lick the cider on the chopsticks.

Hmm~ So this is what cider tastes like. No wonder that drunkard likes to drink it. After savoring the cider that was on the chopsticks just now, Ying began to understand why Wendy drank so much. It tasted really good.

"Lisa! The Knight of Honor is not yet grown up, you can't give her alcohol."

Qin, an honest man who was still worried about whether his god would starve to death at the dinner table, reached out and snatched the chopsticks from Lisa's hand. Lisa blinked at Ying, with a hint of innocence in her lazy tone.

"Little cutie, you see, it's not that I don't want you to drink, but our leader Qin doesn't allow you to."

What a bad character, Ying complained in her heart. At the same time, she prayed silently in her heart that she would not meet such a bad person when traveling to other countries in the future.

"Haha, the grilled fish is here~"

After working for a while, Klee came over with a big pot of grilled fish she had made herself. Qin quickly put down the wine glass in her hand and took the pot from Klee. Although Qin sometimes forgot Klee's feelings when she was busy, she cared about Klee no less than Alice, her mother, at ordinary times.

As the grilled fish was served, a fragrant aroma wafted towards me. I saw that it was the grilled fish made by Xiangling under the guidance of Keli by the stove. My appetite had turned into Xiangling's shape and the saliva in my mouth almost flowed out.

"Wow, the grilled fish made by Klee herself? I must try it."

Paimon has never known what politeness is when it comes to eating. When Klee and the others were making the grilled fish, Paimon had been eyeing the biggest fish for a long time. Now that the grilled fish is finally out of the oven, Paimon immediately took the biggest fish for himself.

"Hey, why is this grilled fish covered with shredded ginger and garlic slices?"

Kaeya looked at the grilled fish closest to him, which was covered with shredded ginger and garlic slices. The first thing he thought of was that Diluk wanted to trick him, but Diluk had been in the tavern and had not left. Kaeya felt that this could not have been done by Diluk.

"Oh, this is it. This is the grilled fish that Sister Xiangling made specially for Brother Ruojin. She said it's good for colds. Brother Ruojin, here you go."

After hearing what Kaeya said, Klee remembered that when she was carrying the grilled fish to the table, her sister Xiangling also put this special grilled fish on the plate and told her to give it to her brother Ruojin personally.

Looking at the grilled fish covered with shredded ginger and garlic on the plate, Ruo Jin suspected that even if he moved the shredded ginger and garlic on the grilled fish aside, the fish would still taste like ginger. With so many ingredients, the fish might have been marinated.

Just when Ruo Jin was worrying about how to store the grilled fish into the space without anyone noticing, Xiangling had already started preparing the second dish in addition to the angel's gift.

"Xiangling, do you really want to fry onions with ginger for Brother Ruojin? I don't think it will taste good..."

Bennett, who was in charge of peeling onions, looked at Xiangling, who was already frying oil in the pan, with tears in his eyes. Ruojin had always been very nice to him, Bennett, and he really couldn't bear to see Ruojin eating such a strange dish. "Bennett, you don't know this, right? There is an old saying in Liyue that good medicine tastes bitter."

"But Xiangling, isn't this a dish you're cooking..."

"Almost, almost. Lei Ze, go get some meat. Guoba can eat the grilled fish in his hand later. Come here and spit fire first. Brother Jin has a cold and you are still eating."

Xiangling was in a serious state and acted decisively. The three little ones quickly got busy under her command. The busy people did not notice that a man with a strange hat was staring at Lei Ze not far away.

"Lord Seno, have you spotted any suspicious individuals? Do you need us..."

"No, no, I just saw someone who looked like me. Keep looking."

Seno calmed down and turned to walk towards various hidden corners of Mondstadt. If he didn't have a mission, he wouldn't mind making friends with the boy. Unfortunately, he would have to wait until he had time to talk to the boy later.

Several disciplinary officers following behind Seno looked at each other, they didn't know what their boss had discovered, and the great sage asked them to always pay attention to their boss Seno's behavior. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they could only follow Seno who was getting farther and farther away. As for what happened just now, let the disciplinary officer in charge of writing the report worry about it.

After this group of disciplinary officers left, Lei Ze suddenly looked towards the place where the disciplinary officers were originally located. If he had not felt that those armed guys had no ill will towards them, Lei Ze would have been ready to fight. His intuition told him that one of the guys in that group was very dangerous.

"Raize, what's wrong with you?"

Bennett saw that Lazer suddenly stopped moving and kept looking in one direction. He looked in that direction curiously, but there was nothing wrong there except darkness.

"Just now, there was someone there."

Growing up in the wild, Lei Ze had not learned anything about the evil of human nature. When he heard Bennett's question, Lei Ze honestly told him what had just happened.

"Oh, maybe it's because Xiangling's cooking is so delicious that those people want to come and take a look."

Bennett didn't take Lei Ze's words to heart and continued to fight with the onion in his hand. However, Xiangling seemed to remember something and asked Lei Ze.

"Leize, did you notice that there was someone standing by the window just now?"

"No."

Looking at the window that Xiangling pointed to, Lei Ze shook his head in confusion. This made Xiangling wonder if Shatang was seeing things, because the people around did not see anyone by the window just now.

Forget it, forget it. Let’s not think about it anymore. Let’s just concentrate on cooking. Maybe Sugar has been studying alchemy all day and has confused herself. If there really was someone standing next to the window, how could Sugar be the only one who noticed it?

Wiping away all the guesses in her head, Xiangling took out the pork liver and prepared to stir-fry some mint pork liver for Shatang. Pork liver improves eyesight and mint refreshes the mind. This new dish she came up with is very suitable for a tired and confused alchemist like Shatang.
