Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

The next moment, Su Hao pulled Jiuqi Ren and Ella away from the Hall of Rebirth.

"Oh dear, why are you so scared?" Hu Tao sighed helplessly as she watched Su Hao flee as if he were running away. "Just like Zhong Li, he makes up an excuse to leave as soon as he hears I'm going to cook."

"Never mind~ At least Su Hao said he'd come over to watch me cook next time, hmm~ What should we eat today~~~"

Hu Tao was a very cheerful girl. She quickly recovered her mood and hummed a little tune as she prepared to cook.

Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief as he left the Hall of Rebirth.

"Is it that scary?" Hisaki Shinobu looked at Su Hao's relieved expression, his expression somewhat subtle.

Although she also felt that Hu Tao's impulsive personality made it unlikely that she could cook anything delicious.

However, Su Hao's reaction, which was almost like fleeing, still surprised Jiuqi Ren. What terrifying future had he seen that made him flee, taking the two of them away from the Hall of Rebirth?

"Well, how should I put it?" Su Hao looked at Hisaki Shinobu and explained simply, "You can think of it as, the food that Kurumi makes isn't something ordinary people can eat. Under normal circumstances, it's fine, but if it's not normal..."

Seeing Su Hao's indescribable expression, Jiu Qiren pursed her lips slightly, still somewhat puzzled.

Out of trust, Hisagi refrained from pressing further.

At the same time, a new question arose: Su Hao had only been in Liyue for two days and had only known Hu Tao for less than 24 hours, so how did he know this information?

Considering that Su Hao had done the same thing before, inexplicably knowing a lot of information, Hisagi Shinobu decided not to think about it any further.

The group quickly arrived at Wanmintang. It was dinner time, and Wanmintang was packed with people. Several waiters were serving dishes and clearing tables.

Just as Su Hao was about to find a seat, Ai La reached out and tugged at his clothes, pointing to a corner.

"Master."

As Ella's voice and movements were heard, Su Hao couldn't help but look in the direction she was pointing.

Then Su Hao saw a familiar figure; it was none other than Master Ke, who had sold beef offal the night before.

She was dressed differently than last night. Today she was wearing rather worn-out clothes, looking like a migrant worker who had just finished get off work at the dock.

"Ok?"

As Su Hao looked in that direction, Ke Qing also noticed that someone was watching her. She looked in the direction the gaze came from and found Su Hao and his group.

This surprised Ke Qing. She hadn't even taken the initiative to find the other party, yet the other party had delivered himself to her door?

Oh, no, it should be dinnertime. The other party is planning to have dinner at Wanmintang, just like last night.

'What a coincidence!'

Thinking this to herself, Ke Qing knew she had been recognized, so she reached out and waved to Su Hao and his group, beckoning them to come over to her.

There are many customers at Wanmintang right now, and there aren't enough seats. If they wait patiently, they'll probably have to wait quite a while.

Meeting is fate, and since we're all just eating anyway, I don't need this little bit of Mora.

"Looks like we're in luck." Su Hao didn't expect to run into Ke Qing at Wanmin Hall, so he took Ella and Kuki Shinobu with him without any hesitation.

Sitting down next to Ke Qing, Su Hao greeted her warmly, "Hi, Beef Offal Master, you ran really fast last night! I still don't know your name."

"By the way, you seemed to say last night that if we met again, you would tell me your identity and name."

Upon hearing this, Ke Qing almost coughed up the water she had just drunk; she did indeed remember those words.

She planned to have a proper talk with Su Hao about the matter of "humans" a few days later, after she finished the ritual of inviting the immortals.

However, she was still busy with the invocation ceremony and had a lot of other things to do, so she didn't have time to discuss these matters with Su Hao.

Besides, there are too many people here, so it's not good to reveal my identity. I'm here to investigate the local conditions, not to attract attention by being identified as a Seven Star.

"What's wrong?" Su Hao felt a little strange seeing Ke Qing's rather conflicted expression. Ke Qing was the kind of person who was quite straightforward.

Since she said she would tell me her identity and name the next time we meet, I guess she will readily give me her name and identity when we meet again.

In the original storyline, when Keqing encountered the Traveler and Paimon in the wild, she introduced herself as a Star Seven and her name in this way.

Why is she now conflicted when it comes to her own situation?

"No, it's nothing." Ke Qing looked at Su Hao and said in a very calm tone, "It's just that the meeting I mentioned last night was the kind that takes place in a formal setting. This meeting was an accident."

With that, Ke Qing gave Su Hao no further chance. She picked up the menu that was placed aside and handed it to them, saying, "This is the menu of Wanmintang. Although most of the dishes have some strange names, the taste is acceptable."

"Although I don't know if you've ever eaten at Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion, I can assure you that Wanmin Hall is definitely no worse than those two."

Seeing Ke Qing do this, Su Hao naturally didn't press the matter further. He took the menu from Ke Qing's hand and began to look at the names of the dishes.

Hisayuu nodded. As a Liyue exchange student, she commented, "Yes, I've eaten at Ruri-tei and Shin-yuen, and they are indeed very delicious."

"But the food at Wanmintang is also quite good. I remember there was a chef there named Xiangling. I learned a lot about cooking from her."

Hearing what Shinobu said, Keqing became interested; this person seemed to be an expert.

This prompted Keqing to immediately communicate with Kuki Shinobu, explaining that Xiangling was in charge of cooking at Manmindo today, which explained why there were so many talented people there.

In the past, Wanmintang was in a lukewarm phase, until Xiangling suddenly appeared and created a large number of famous delicacies.

It was only then that everyone suddenly noticed that, in Liyue Harbor, besides the two long-established restaurants, Liuli Pavilion and Xinyue Pavilion, a genius chef had appeared at Wanmin Hall.

The Dragon King, whose reputation among the people was no less than that of the Seven Stars, also spoke highly of Xiangling's cooking, which was also due to the fact that Xiangling's cooking was indeed very good.

Therefore, as soon as the news that Xiangling will be in charge of cooking is released, Wanmintang's business will be booming today.

While Keqing and Kuki Shinobu were talking, Su Hao quietly finished ordering the food and then handed it to Ella, who was standing to the side.

Ella glanced at it a few times, a strange expression on her face. She looked up at her young master, as if to say... Are you sure this store is okay?

Those cold slime salads, salt and pepper slime, stuffed pigeon with deceptive flowers, etc... are these even edible?

Su Hao gave Ella a reassuring look, indicating that it was okay and she could eat as much as she wanted without worry, as it wouldn't kill her.

What's more, he didn't even order those other things; he ordered Xiangling's signature dish—Wanmintang Boiled Fish.

As for Ke Qing, he ordered an extra serving of golden shrimp balls, fearing that Lu Guoba would eat all of Ke Qing's favorite dish again.

After going through the menu once, Ke Qing glanced at Su Hao with some surprise when she saw that he had ordered an extra serving of Golden Shrimp Balls, but she didn't say anything and silently handed the menu to the waiter who came over.

At the dinner table, the four continued their conversation.

From the brief exchange, Keqing learned that Su Hao and his group had arrived in Liyue yesterday aboard the Dragon King's Southern Cross ship. They were there to purchase rare ores.

Similarly, Shinobu and Ella knew that Keqing was no ordinary beef offal chef; her status was probably higher than they had imagined.

From her speech, it was clear that she was no ordinary person, and both sides learned the information they wanted from the conversation.

Only Su Hao didn't think about all that; he just wanted to know when the food would be served. He was so hungry...

"So, you traveled all the way from Inazuma to Liyue just to forge a weapon?" Keqing's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

When Ke Qing saw Su Hao and Ella last night, she knew they were not ordinary people, but she never expected... that they were blacksmiths?

Although Keqing had heard that the people on Inazuma's side had a mysterious obsession with forging weapons, and even regarded the Thunder Five Transmissions as a national treasure.

However, she could understand, because the weapon-forging techniques there were passed down by General Raiden himself. It was normal for the entire Inazuma nation to worship something that was passed down by the gods.

Isn't it the same in Liyue?

“Yes.” Su Hao nodded, looking at Ke Qing and saying, “I’ve already sent people to purchase most of the materials.”

"There's only one material that's a bit difficult to find, and I'm afraid I'll have to ask someone to go find it."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Ke Qing smiled slightly and asked, "What kind of material is it? Can you tell me? I have some connections, maybe I can help you find it."

Keqing was being modest, but she herself didn't think there was any material in Liyue that she couldn't obtain.

As one of the Seven Stars, Keqing wields considerable power. If Mora has the necessary materials for procuring weapons, she can definitely obtain them.

"Branch of Blood Jade".

Su Hao directly stated the materials that even the store manager's daughter couldn't obtain.

“Ah…” Ke Qing’s expression stiffened. She had heard of this material; it was said that Ning Guang had also sent people to search for it.

But no one has found it, and even if they have, it's a broken piece of material that has lost its spiritual essence and is completely unusable.

"The food's served—!!"

Just then, a vibrant voice rang out, freeing Keqing from this awkward situation.

"Lulu~~!!"

At that moment, the cook Xiangling ran over with dishes, accompanied by a bear-like creature.

"These are the dishes you ordered: boiled fish in chili oil, sweet stuffed chicken, two servings of golden shrimp balls, and... wait?! Ke?!"

When Xiangling saw Keqing, she seemed quite surprised, as she recognized her.

"Shh." Ke Qing held up a finger, indicating to Xiang Ling not to say her name so loudly.

Keqing, the Jade Balance Star, is a renowned figure in Liyue Harbor, not to mention that she was the one who organized this year's Ascension Ceremony.

This made her more famous than Ningguang, without her even realizing it.

If Xiangling were to loudly proclaim her name at this moment, she would be out of a job.

P.S.: "The author has a group~ If you want to urge me to update, or just want to chat, feel free to come in and have a look. The group is quite large! Feel free to do whatever you want!"

PS: "Group number: 555913404".

Chapter Ninety-Five: News of the Blood Jade Branch

"Master Ke... Master Ke!"

Xiangling also noticed Keqing's gaze and subtle movements, and immediately changed how she addressed her.

She also noticed that if she called out Ke Qing's name here, people who planned to deal with the Seven Stars would probably come and disrupt her dining experience in an instant.

As a qualified chef, Xiangling will not affect other people's dining experience.

"Hmm~"

Ke Qing smiled, then looked to the side and noticed that Su Hao had started stroking Guoba's little head at some point.

"Lulu~~~"
