Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

"Alright, I'll consider your suggestion. Miss Ying deserves a medal for her meritorious service in defeating the Stormterror."

At this point, Qin's eyes suddenly sharpened: "Speaking of which, Mr. Ji Ming, why do you suddenly want the flesh of the Wind Demon Dragon?"

No, Qin hadn't brought this up at all, and Ji Ming thought she had tacitly agreed. Turns out she just forgot to ask and only remembered now? That's really a heinous crime.

“Take it back as an ingredient. I’ve never tasted dragon meat before. After it’s cooked, I’ll share a cup with the ensemble leader.”

Qin: "?"

No, trying to ask for dragon meat in front of the acting leader, and this dragon was once one of the Four Winds Guardians, this world has finally turned upside down.

Chapter 135 Believe in Arminks, Girl

On the first day of the new year, Ying took Paimon out to have fun, Barbara went out to work, and Jiming lay on the sofa like a salted fish, taking a nap, before being dragged out of bed by Xiangling for breakfast.

Today's breakfast is Liyue steamed buns. The disposable steamer was bought from the Liyue Street in Mondstadt. Paired with freshly ground soy milk made by Xiangling, it's truly authentic and delicious.

At the dining table, Ji Ming, still half-asleep, took a bite of a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling) and asked, his words muffled, "Xiangling, where are my clothes from yesterday?"

Xiangling smiled and said, "I'll take it to wash."

Ji Ming paused in his chewing, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Huh?"

"What do you mean, 'no'?"

Xiangling put her hands on her hips, trying to make herself look fierce, but the blush on her face instantly shattered her not-so-clever disguise.

If Ji Ming doesn't bring it up, it's fine, but Xiangling easily gets shy whenever he does.

Ji Ming felt a mix of emotions. To appease the young cook, he carefully crafted his words: "Well, at least leave the underwear for me to wash myself, okay?"

Xiangling didn't speak, her mouth was distorted with shyness, her eyes turned into circles, and she lay on the table, puffing out breaths.

Honestly, if you're so easily embarrassed, you shouldn't do his laundry without permission.

Ji Ming touched his face; it was burning hot.

Very well, spending so much time with the little cook has made me more thin-skinned, but it seems my skills are still lacking.

"I'm full. I'm going out for a stroll. Xiangling, do you want to come with me?"

Xiangling shook her head: "I borrowed two Mondstadt cookbooks from Miss Lisa, so I won't be going out with Amin. Today I need to study the cooking methods of foreign foods."

"Okay, I'll head out now."

After putting on a long gown and a short-sleeved shirt, Ji Ming left the West Wind Church. He didn't see Barbara inside the church or in the square outside, guessing that she was working in the church's forbidden area, which was off-limits to outsiders.

Ji Ming knew very little about Mondstadt. Even his childhood sweetheart knew that there was a street called the Glass People Street in Mondstadt. All he knew was that Mondstadt was blessed by angels.

Mondstadt is truly vast, an entire city built in the middle of a great lake. The main city gate connects to Mondstadt's main thoroughfare, while the side gates lead to Mondstadt's Thornport.

Walking from the main city gate wall to the side city gate wall would take several kilometers, demonstrating the vast size of Mondstadt.

Just as Liyue Harbor has a combined permanent and transient population of one million, Mondstadt, situated in the middle of the Great Lake, is estimated to have a population of nearly one million.

In such a big city, it was obviously impossible to explore everything quickly, so Ji Ming could only head towards the most familiar tavern.

Speaking of which, he hasn't touched a drink in a long time. Today, he might as well have a good drink and visit his grandfather Diluc, whom he hasn't seen in a long time.

Diluc must have played a part in our safe escape from Mondstadt, so it would be a shame not to thank him. I wonder if Diluc will go to the tavern and pretend to be a bartender today.

The tavern's wooden door was pushed open, and the Mondstadt-style wind chimes jingled in the wind. Ji Ming peeked furtively out, and when he saw that it was Charles standing behind the counter instead of Diluc, he sighed in disappointment.

Charles: "?"

Walking straight to the counter, Ji Ming snapped his fingers: "Charles, give me a glass of dandelion liqueur."

Charles glanced at Ji Ming, but being in the service industry, his tone remained respectful: "Please wait a moment. Mr. Ji Ming just did the Knights a great favor yesterday. What brings you here for drinks today?"

Ji Ming looked surprised: "How did you know?"

"It's not that I know, it's that my young master Diluc knows. He used to be a member of the Knights of Favonius, which you should know as well, so he knows most of the news about the Knights of Favonius."

So that's how it is. No wonder he's Diluc, the richest man in Mondstadt.

Not wanting to disturb Charles any further, Ji Ming sat listlessly on a bar stool, propping his chin up as he looked around the pub's interior, which was exactly the same as before.

"Eh, Mr. Ji Ming?"

Ji Ming turned around, but his gaze involuntarily focused on a pair of bling-bling rabbit ears.

"It's you, Rabbit Knight Amber!"

"It's a scout knight!"

Amber was furious, but she didn't dwell on it. Instead, she stepped aside. Behind her was another old acquaintance of Ji Ming's, and the first girl, Lawrence, who had struck up a conversation with him after arriving in Mondstadt.

Yura said expressionlessly, "Even though we're acquaintances, you deliberately called Amber by the wrong title. Mr. Ji Ming is still the same as ever, with no gentlemanly manners at all."

Ji Ming shrugged and said with a mischievous grin, "Yeah, after all, nobody taught me."

Upon hearing this, Yura quietly covered her face. Back when they met at the tavern, this young man had used those same words to make her feel so guilty that she couldn't sleep all night.

Amber blinked: "Eh? Yura, do you know Mr. Ji Ming too?"

"We know each other. We've known each other for more than half a year."

"Hey! How could you do this? Why didn't Yura tell me? I've never heard Yura mention this before!"

Seeing the bunny-eared knight starting to make a fuss, and the aloof beauty frantically trying to calm her down, Ji Ming couldn't help but chuckle. So these two were actually good friends after all.

It's truly unexpected that the two have completely different personalities and backgrounds. I heard that Amber's grandfather was from Liyue, while Yola was born into the infamous Lawrence family.

Inside the tavern, many patrons were already casting disdainful glances at Yura. Seeing this, Ji Ming picked up the dandelion wine he had just mixed, grabbed Yura's wrist with one hand, and beckoned Amber to come along.

There was no way he could stand by and watch; that look in his eyes made Ji Ming feel a sense of shared suffering.

Ji Ming didn't release Youla's wrist until they reached the shadowy corner on the second floor. He then found a seat, grinned at them, and sat down.

Yura knew exactly what had happened, but she just hadn't had time to react.

"I'll remember this grudge for helping me out of a predicament without my consent."

"Wow, that sounds so familiar. I haven't heard it in over half a year. I really miss it."

Miss Yura is a wonderful person. She has the figure of Senior Sister Ganyu and the arrogant personality of Kemaimai. It's just a pity that Mondstadt people don't care about appearance.

At this point, Ji Ming was about to launch a fierce attack on the Mondstadt people. They always talked about freedom, and they had broken free from the shackles of Lawrence's tyranny, but now they were using the shackles of public opinion and bloodline theory to trap the freedom-loving Lawrence girl.

It's pathetic, lamentable, and pitiful.

Lost young Lawrence, why not abandon the old god of wind, Barbatos, and instead worship the new god of rock, Morak...?

No, Morax the Geo Archon will also become the Archon of the old era, and the Geo Archon of the new era will be Aminx.

What, you're asking who Arminks is?

Hehe, isn't that obvious?

Chapter 136 If I hadn't become a disciple of an immortal

"So, you two really have known each other for more than half a year?"

Amber looked aggrieved. She hadn't expected that Yura, her best friend, wouldn't even tell her about something like this. She had asked Yura out today specifically to share information about Mr. Jiming.

Look at Mr. Ji Ming. He and Miss Xiang Ling were childhood sweethearts. They shared everything with each other, and it was normal for them to bicker occasionally. Most of the time, there was a sweet and innocent atmosphere between them.

Yura and she grew up together, and in a sense, they were childhood sweethearts as well. How come she couldn't be as perfect as Yura?

A hint of embarrassment crossed Yura's delicate face as she explained, "That's right, but Mr. Ji Ming and I have only met once before, and this is the second time."

Hearing Yura's explanation, Amber calmed down: "Oh, I see. I thought Yura had made a new friend, but she kept it from me."

"How could that be? Besides, Mr. Ji Ming and I are not friends. We were just drinking buddies who temporarily shared a table. There's no need to bring that up to share."

While Yura kept explaining, Ji Ming secretly made a face where she couldn't see him, which amused Amber.

“Okay, I’m not angry with you,” Amber waved her hand. “If you really make new friends, I’ll be happy for you.”

That's how women are; if they make friends and don't tell you, you won't be happy.

The three of them sat at a table in the shaded corner on the second floor. There was no one else around, so they could chat freely and quietly.

Charles thoughtfully brought out a large jug of dandelion wine, a large jug of Afternoon Death, and a large jug of apple wine.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you two drinking? Aren't you going to have some apple wine with me?"

"What's so great about apple wine? If I want something sweet, I'd rather go for a bottle of Fonda soda."

On this point, Yura and Ji Ming share the same view, and the two have formed a united front.

Amber sighed helplessly, "Fine, I'll drink it myself then. I don't like drinking anyway. By the way, what good drinks does Liyue have?"

It's not like you're a girl; you don't even know your ancestral home. You've forgotten your roots a bit.

Well, it seems Amber has never been to Liyue Harbor. She grew up in Mondstadt, so it's normal that she doesn't know about it.

"There are many, and I really like Shaoxing wine."

Yura asked, "Don't the people of Liyue prefer drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor)?"

Ji Ming shook his head: "Not really, it's just that each has its own audience. It seems that yellow wine is only sold in Liren Street in Mondstadt."

Amber stuck out her tongue: "The rice wine doesn't taste good at all, it's sour and bitter."
