People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 320 "When I see Xiangling, I'll say I found your relative"

".Activate its past clear will, or wait for it to choose to wake up on its own"

In the venue, after hearing the choice given by Lin Feng,

Several immortals looked at each other and were silent for a moment.
In the end, Grandma Ping shook her head and said with a complicated look:
".As long as one has wisdom in this world, how can there be anyone without worries?

Given the stove's past personality, it's not surprising that it would make such a choice.
If I must say, Liyue is peaceful and stable right now, so we naturally have no intention of disturbing his rest."

".But if we don't know what our old friend really thinks,
I am a little worried. Is it that it has not noticed the changes in this land? Is it that it has not realized what it has gained in return for its sacrifice in the past? "

——There are usually two possibilities for not wanting to wake up.
One reason is that, like some Mond people who like drinking, they simply like this simpler and purer mental state, so they want to maintain it for a while longer.

The other reason may be that people are dissatisfied with the reality and therefore do not want to face a bad outcome.

Although they could guess that Guoba was most likely the former, they were still worried that this old friend might be disappointed with the current situation.

"——It is easy to change from a simple mood to a complex one, but it is difficult to return from a complex mood to a pure one.

Is there any way for me to feel the feelings of my old friend without destroying this state?
If it knew that the stove was not disappointed with the current Liyue, then it would be fine for it to rest for a few more years."

After they frankly expressed their concerns, several immortals looked at Lin Feng in front of them with pleading expressions.

"Well, I understand your concerns.
Of course there are methods. Although it is not easy to wake it up directly, it is not difficult to simply say a few words to its consciousness."

There was a slight pause.

"——Well, since you all have this idea, then follow me and go to its "dream"."

I can fully imagine the immortals' anticipation for the reunion and the disappointment in their hearts.
Lin Feng, who was also somewhat curious about Guoba's idea, nodded and extended an invitation to the people in front of him to go to the "Devil's Dream".

"Bang, bang, bang."

"Bang, bang."

"."

"Bala——"

At the very beginning of my memory, when the "Demon of the Hearth" was born,
The collision of rocks produced sparks, which in turn ignited the weeds.

The flames burned across the plains and forests, leaving behind the world's first "delicious food".

In the dimly flickering sparks, the huge "Demon of the Hearth" as big as a mountain slowly opened its eyes.

It only took one glance for me to fall in love with these cute creatures walking on two legs in front of me.

The stars move and the sun and the moon change.

The peaceful time is gone forever. In the brutal war, a large number of people left their hometowns to protect themselves and built cities on the plains.
First there was "Guizhong", and then it was moved to "Zhongli". The town was named "Guiliji" after the names of two gods at that time.

In Guiliji, agriculture was well developed and people used rocks as tools.

The Kitchen God dislikes war, and as one of the allied demon gods, his followers and people have also been incorporated into this thriving town.

There is no need to worry about war, as there are many immortals and gods as allies.

As the demon god who loves humans the most, the "Kitchen God" often split into thousands of clones in those days, entered thousands of households, made fires, cooked, and helped people reunite.

then.

Black dust filled the sky and thousands of rocks were cracked.

Gods fell, floods struck,
Guiliji was destroyed, the earth veins were turbulent, and disasters and diseases spread everywhere.
The Kitchen God could not bear the pain of the people's death, so he entrusted his followers to the God of Rock.
Leave alone and choose to return the power to the earth.

Since then,

One day, ten days, a hundred days;
One year, ten years, a hundred years.
In order to quell the disaster on this land, the "Demon of the Hearth" forced himself to stay alert for hundreds of years without closing his eyes once.

His body became smaller and smaller, His intellect became weaker and weaker,
From taller than a mountain to less than a man, from the wisdom of a god to less than a child.

After completing his mission, he bid a final farewell to his old friends with exhaustion as heavy as the tide.

Then, he finally had the "rest" he had always dreamed of, which he had missed for hundreds of years.

".It turned out to be like this.
Unexpectedly, the load carried by the "stove" is much heavier than we expected.

It is inevitable that it will feel tired after all the troubles it has faced.”

".In this case, it is better to let it rest.

All immortals and gods have long life spans. As long as my old friend is not seriously injured, it won’t be a big deal for us to sleep for another hundred years.”

I personally experienced the memory of not sleeping for hundreds of years and losing my strength and wisdom.

Even just watching, the immortals felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion.
Suddenly, I had some understanding of why Guoba likes his current life without having to think and without worries.

".Thank you, sir. We will leave now and don't bother you any more."

"——Huh? This is only half of it, you haven't finished it yet?

In fact, I think the latter part is the real reason and key. "

I found that the immortals seemed to be planning to leave the consciousness space before they had even finished reading half of it.

Lin Feng turned around with some confusion and looked at these immortals who had an "I understand" look on their faces.

Memories continue.

Time comes after sleep,

The long-sleeping Guoba rested in the mountains, its memory and strength were almost gone.
But after being awakened by the girl, it had already seen the Liyue of today during the years of accompanying her growing up, a land where there is no more war and disaster.

Further on,
The food festival was extremely popular, and the dusty statues covered by the rock layers reappeared in the world.
Because of this feast of food during the reunion season, the faith that was once dry has become full again.

In these most sincere expectations, it also feels the confidence of the people of Liyue today in the future and life:
——Times have changed and the disaster is gone.

It is pleased to find that there are now people who can protect this country from wind and rain. Even if it is a little lazy, this land will still move towards a better tomorrow.

When it wakes up, it will naturally apologize to all its old friends for being lazy today.

But before this land encounters danger, it still wants to stay with the person who awakened it in its original form.

——There is nothing wrong with it, it’s just still a little tired, so it wants to sleep peacefully for a while.

".So that's how it is."

"The stove has already woken up once, and it chose to fall asleep again."

"It even left this message to you, just to reassure us."

In the brief moment when consciousness is connected,
Several immortals present also felt their old friend's thoughts.
They discovered that Guoba was not disappointed with the current Liyue. On the contrary, it was because he believed that his former comrades could lead Liyue to a better tomorrow.

The beliefs from people of various countries have conveyed enough information to it, so their old friend can choose to sleep for a while with peace of mind.

".This is good, since all memories and powers have been restored,

It would only take a dozen years at most for the mental fatigue caused by the return of memory to be alleviated.
Until then, it’s okay to be a little lazy.”

"——Thank you for conveying this information to us.
We won't have any more misunderstandings, so let's leave here first." "Okay."

Lin Feng nodded and took the consciousness of several immortals away from this space.

"Lalu~"

Outside, Guoba, who had only partially recovered his size, was happily jumping around on the banquet grounds.

It seemed to have remembered who those people were. Even though it had temporarily given up thinking, it still separated out a bunch of small rice crusts.
While directing his clones to clean the banquet venue as usual, he used his two short hands to interact with several immortals.

Lin Feng looked at Guoba's bright eyes, which seemed to be much smarter.

It was discovered that even though most of its consciousness was still asleep, it was actually able to fully remember everything that had happened in the past.

"Lalu~"

Suddenly, Guoba seemed to remember something, and it left the immortals.

He took out a ball of sparkling light from his body and handed it to Lin Feng in front of him with some doubts.

".This is? A thank you gift to me? Did you make this when you were sober?"

"Lalu?"

Guoba scratched his head and blinked his little black eyes.

".Okay, let me see what this is."

Feeling the gratitude from the Guoba in front of him, Lin Feng, who had been busy for a while recently, did not refuse and accepted the gift frankly.

".Hmm? "The Mystery of Fire"?
Wow, is this the same recipe and cooking experience as the Emperor? !”

After quickly understanding what this thing was used for, Lin Feng discovered that Guoba was like passing on all of its experience in "food" to him without reservation.

Combined with the power and authority contained in the ball of light, as long as he digests it, he will not only be able to grow vegetables, but he will also be almost invincible in cooking.

"."

".Uh, but I'm usually too lazy to do it, and if some drunkard knew that I could cook, I might be forced to become the royal chef.

After all, it is better to divide it into two clones, me and Nashida."

"Lalu!"

Guoba, who had become much smarter, seemed to understand what Lin Feng meant.
The fluffy body shook, and two small "rice crusts" were thrown out.
The same yellow and white color scheme, the same dotty eyes, and the same little belly.

"Lalu?"

"Lalu~"

Looking at the three "mysterious creatures" in front of him, one large and two small,
Lin Feng quickly realized that this was the Guoba clone that he and Nashida had always wanted, which could help with cooking.

".Well, thank you, that is really a great help."

"Then let's call them two meat buns and rice cake.

If anyone asks me about it after I get back, I will tell Xiangling that I found your relatives."

He picked up the two rice crusts, one in each hand.

Feeling the furry touch,

Lin Feng, who was suddenly moved, did not expect that his wish to bring a portable chef when he started traveling would finally be realized in this way.

".Okay, I'll trouble you to prepare the dishes for the banquet from now on.

If you want to perfectly reproduce the dishes of that time, it is safest to ask you to do it.”

"Lalu~"

Guoba nodded, and it was obvious that his love for cooking had never changed.

“.Because cooking is instinctive, can I succeed without even thinking about it?

Your nickname of "Demon of the Stove" is indeed correct."

After discovering that his authority had been restored, cooking with Guoba was as natural as breathing elemental power.
This almost rule-based cooking method is a dimensionality reduction blow even compared to the old man.

I sighed again, this might be the only authority in Teyvat that specializes in "cooking".

Lin Feng, who was delighted to receive two "little rice crusts", finally put his mind at ease about the preparations for the banquet because the chef had returned.

After deciding that I will wait until I have completed the replication of my authority, I can also teach Nashida how to make desserts.

"Huh, you really like Xiangling.
Do you plan to let me take one of the clones with me first, and then replace it with the real one after the banquet is over?"

".The complete demon god is helping out in the restaurant. Xiangling is the real protagonist of Liyue, right?"

Although Guoba's combat power is not strong, its clone ability is indeed extremely powerful.

As a being who was able to help the entire Guiliji residents make fire and cook by himself thousands of years ago,
Not only can the clones of Guoba communicate with each other, but the main body can also communicate with others with the help of the clones.

After Lin Feng stuffed his and Nashida's two pot crusts into the storage space,

He started chatting with the rice crust that he was about to return to Xiangling.
——To be honest, although Guoba’s “la lu” is very difficult for others to understand,

But for Lin Feng, who can perceive emotionally, it is not difficult to analyze the meaning.

"boom--"

???

"Huh? Why does it sound like there was an explosion?

There shouldn't be any passers-by passing by here, right?"

“.But a little girl with pointy ears, red clothes, and the eyes of the fire elemental god?

Could this person be Alice's daughter, Kelly? !

Why did you come to Liyue?"

I briefly checked the situation in the distance.

It's rare to see a being with similar appearance to Nashida on Teyvat.

After combining a lot of information to make judgments, Lin Feng quickly determined who the little girl who was busy cleaning up a bunch of small grass slimes in the distance and the blue-haired young man with an eye mask beside her were.

".Speaking of which, facing so many enemies, Klee didn't use bombs, but simply mobilized the fire element to attack.
No matter how you think about it, this is really strange."

"Forget it, it's better not to use fire elements to kill grass slimes.
Now that we have encountered it, let's just treat it as eliminating the potential risk of the Guiliyuan Fire."

Knowing that a few grass slimes are not a big threat to the two people ahead,
But seeing the small grass slimes with flames all over their bodies,

Lin Feng, who had worked as a forest ranger for some time and was very sensitive to fire hazards, still planned to teach the correct way to deal with grass slimes.
