At this moment, a handsome lion-like beast reappeared on a nearby hilltop.

She glanced at the ancient tea tree and spotted the slender figure sitting on the trunk, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"Floating Brocade!?"

A clear female voice came from the lion-like beast's mouth.

Hearing the voice, Fu Jin turned around and smiled, "Ling Yuan, I've been waiting for you for so long."

The lion-like beast appeared beneath the ancient tea tree. She looked up at her old friend, who was sitting on the trunk swinging her legs, and asked, "Why did you come out?"

Fu Jin smiled and said, "I just came out like this."

"Aren't you supposed to be unable to get out of the water?"

"I was seriously injured before, so I couldn't get out of the water, but now I've recovered."

"All right?"

"Yes, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng gave me some spiritual medicine and helped me recover."

"True Lord Liuyun, huh..."

Fu Jin jumped down from the tree and took out a teapot.

This was a gift from Ah Ping to her before.

She had made a promise with Yaojun that she would take her to Liyue Harbor in a teapot, but unfortunately, that promise never came true.

Fu Jin stretched out her hand and gestured towards the water's surface, drawing a stream of clear water into the teapot. Then, she waved back towards the ancient tea tree, and a few tea leaves drifted down.

"When we meet an old friend, please have some tea."

"You know I don't like tea."

"How about you just have one drink? It's really good!"

"..."

The lion-like beast hesitated for a moment, but finally transformed into a young girl and sat down at the stone table under the tree.

"alright."

The morning sun cast a beautiful golden glow on the water's surface.

Lingyuan picked up his teacup, took a sip of the steaming hot tea, and frowned slightly.

She still can't get used to the taste of tea.

However, she swallowed it silently.

Lingyuan glanced at Fujin.

She held the cup with both hands, sipped the tea, and looked completely satisfied.

I really don't know why she likes to drink this bitter stuff...

The people here are the same; they grow these bitter things all over the land, and I heard they even sell them to the continent of Teyvat for people in other places to drink.

What's so good about this stuff...?

However, that's how tsundere people are; even if they really don't like drinking it, they'll force themselves to finish it because they've already agreed to it.

After finally finishing the cup of tea, Lingyuan placed it on the table with a sense of relief.

Fu Jin looked at her and asked warmly, "Would you like another drink?"

Ling Yuan immediately shook his head: "No need."

Fu Jin looked regretful: "Alright."

Lingyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You just said that True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng came to see you a few days ago?"

"Not her."

"Ok?"

"It's the Great Sage Who Subdues Demons."

"Oh, I see. No wonder..."

If it were that guardian yaksha, even if the other party appeared on my territory, I would have a hard time sensing their presence.

Lingyuan actually had many more topics he wanted to discuss with Fujin.

Although she wasn't restricted in any way, she had been living alone here for many years and felt quite lonely.

I was overjoyed to finally see an old friend.

However, she is, after all, a proud and aloof person with a naturally reserved personality.

It's a bit difficult to get her to initiate a conversation.

Ling Yuan lowered his head, staring at the empty cup in front of him, and fell silent.

Fu Jin smiled and said, "Ling Yuan, you're still the same as before."

"What's the same?"

"it's the same."

"..."

Haven't you gone out to play all these years?

"Outside?"

"It's outside of Shenyu Valley, for example, near Fontaine or Liyue Harbor."

"No."

Not even once?

"No."

Why don't you go outside for a walk?

Why do you want to go outside for a walk?

"Of course it's for fun. Although the scenery of Chenyu Valley is beautiful, you'll get tired of looking at it after a while."

"I don't find it cloying."

"..."

Fu Jin looked at Ling Yuan speechlessly.

Keep being stubborn.

He's like a nouveau riche from the countryside, all he knows is guarding his little hill, never stepping outside his door...

Fu Jin raised his head and glanced at the ancient tea tree, which was old but undamaged.

"Thank you for taking care of my tea trees all these years."

"I didn't take special care of her!"

Lingyuan immediately said with some disdain.

"It just so happens to be on my mountain, so I took some shelter from it."

"Ok."

Fu Jin smiled and took a sip of tea.

"But I still have to thank you."

"No thanks are needed."

"When are you going to change your arrogant personality?"

"Proud?"

"Forget it, anyway, you'd never listen to a stubborn person like me."

"!"

Lingyuan looked at Fujin and felt that she was saying something bad that he couldn't understand.

Suddenly, a loud singing voice came from afar.

Fu Jin looked up and saw a hillside covered with tea trees.

Although it was past late spring and summer, there were still tender tea leaves to be picked on the mountain due to the special environment of Chenyu Valley.

The tea pickers in Qiaoyingzhuang get up early before the sun gets too strong and start picking tea with their bamboo baskets on their backs.

Mining is generally done separately for men and women.

It was probably to pass the time, or perhaps to boldly express one's feelings of love.

Young men and women would sing folk songs loudly to each other like this.

Fu Jin was quite interested in this matter and listened with great interest.
