I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

"A tomb??!!!" Paimon was startled.

"The final resting place of the Demon God of Dust".

Chapter 33 Iwagami Teahouse

After leaving the Golden House, Ningguang and Ganyu naturally returned to the Jade Pavilion first.

Zhongli then went to the Hall of Rebirth on her own.

Surprisingly, nothing happened to the traveler and Paimon.

The immortal ancestral mortal body of the Rock King Emperor has been viewed. It is vastly different from the [Supporter of Heavenly Principles] that the Traveler Girl once saw, and its aura is completely different as well.

The immortals' promise to find her brother is still a little premature.

For a moment, the young traveler found herself with nothing to do.

After returning to the inn where we stayed and resting for a while, we waited until the city lights came on.

Unable to stay still, Paimon quickly pulled the traveling girl onto the street.

Every night, Liyue is breathtakingly beautiful; even without dazzling lights, it possesses a thousand charms.

Having been in Liyue for so many days, this was the first time the traveler girl had the leisure to properly look around Liyue.

“I’ve heard that the Lantern Festival in Liyue is the most beautiful festival.” Paimon flew in front of the Traveler, his hands behind his back, and turned around.

"At that time, the entire night in Liyue will be filled with twinkling lanterns. Looking down from Mount Tianheng, it will be like the entire Liyue Harbor is shrouded in a dreamlike world of fireflies."

"However, that will be at least a month from now, and we're afraid we won't be able to wait that long."

"By the way, Ying, is there anywhere you'd like to go today? As your guide, I can show you anywhere."

The young traveler nodded gently, her eyes darting around in the dim light.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped.

Looking up at the brightly lit building, I was filled with curiosity.

The signboard with the words "【岩上茶室】" hangs above it.

"What's wrong?" Paimon, not knowing what was going on, also stopped.

The traveler took two quick steps and moved closer.

The two bodyguards at the entrance of the teahouse, a man and a woman, saw the young traveler arrive.

One person hummed, and the other chuckled.

His voice was powerful and resonant.

The young traveler glanced at the two of them with a slightly strange look, said nothing, and pushed open the door of the tea room and went inside.

The moment she stepped inside, the young traveler's eyes lit up.

In front of her in the reception room, a girl in a tea room uniform was looking at her coldly.

This young girl was exquisitely beautiful. Although her clothes were simple, they could not hide her virtuous temperament. Her long, ink-black hair was tied with a hair clip that looked like a sunflower.

The princess-style hairstyle added a touch of tranquility to her. The only regret was that her long, slender legs, which are always a favorite among young travelers, were completely hidden by the counter and her skirt.

Anyway, thank you for the hospitality.

It was for this reason that the young traveler stopped and entered the tea room.

The young receptionist noticed the traveler's arrival and frowned slightly.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Hmm..." Before the traveler girl could finish speaking, Paimon quickly flew over and said with a grin, "Miss, what kind of tea do you have here?"

"My name is Chu Yi, not some 'Miss'," Chu Yi, the waitress at the teahouse, replied coldly. "Since you're here, you should have been prepared, right? How much money did you bring?"

"Hmm?? I brought quite a bit of money, but..." Paimon asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is the tea here very expensive?"

“Who says a teahouse has to be a place that sells tea?” Chu Yi retorted.

"Um...you don't sell tea?? What do you sell??" Paimon looked bewildered. "Isn't your place called Rock Tea House?"

"Hmph!" Chu Yi snorted coldly: "As expected of an outsider, a greenhorn like you shouldn't be wandering around the city. You should use your free time to go to the opera or have a meal at a restaurant."

"Ha!" Little Paimon's temper flared up instantly. She slammed her small hand on the reception desk and said angrily, "Do you even know who this traveler of mine is? She just worked with Ningguang from Tianquan Star! Are you calling us greenhorns??"

Hearing Paimon's words, Chu Yi hesitated slightly. She looked at the traveler girl who had been silent since the beginning, and then at Paimon: "Hmm... using Lady Ningguang's name?? Heh~! Let me tell you, don't get involved in some troubled waters. One more person won't make a difference, and one less person won't make a difference either."

"Hey! I've got a short temper." Paimon raised his head: "Today I'm going to see what they're really like."

"Hmph! If you don't leave, I'm going to call the bodyguards." Chu Yi frowned.

Just as tensions were rising, a voice suddenly came from upstairs in the teahouse.

A middle-aged man dressed in the typical clothes of a wealthy merchant in Liyue slowly walked down the stairs.

"Lord Maocai!" Chu Yi quickly bowed his head and paid his respects to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man, known as Maocai Gong, didn't even glance at the bowing Chu Yi; his gaze was fixed on the young traveler.

“Oh! It’s you, a traveler from Mondstadt.” He walked down the stairs, paused briefly, and then bowed slightly to the traveler girl. “It is an honor for my humble abode that you have the time to visit my tea room today.”

The young female traveler paused, unable to recall who the person in front of her was.

Mao Cai Gong laughed: "Young Master has been mentioning you to us quite often lately. So naturally we found out about you."

"Oh, by the way, after you got the Unfettered Talisman from the young master, you went to Jueyun Realm to meet the immortals, right?"

"But strangely, after you returned, you didn't find the young master who gave you the 'Unfettered Talisman' to explain the situation. Instead, you went to the [Jade Pavilion] with Zhongli first?"

"On this point, our young master is extremely angry!"

"Huh?? That doesn't make sense." Paimon was nervous, but he still knew how to refute it: "When D'Artagnan gave us the Unbound Talisman, he didn't say that we had to report it."

"Of course..." Mao Cai Gong spread his hands: "Young Master is indeed magnanimous. He didn't send us to find you specifically. He just said that if you were willing, you should go to him."

"However, as subordinates, we also have to learn to understand our superiors' intentions. If we can't go against their wishes, we won't specifically seek them out..."

"But...you've shown up right in my stall...you've delivered this merit so readily, wouldn't it be a waste not to arrest you???"

As soon as he finished speaking, an oval-shaped rock suddenly rose from beneath his feet, violently sending him flying.

"They got away!"

The young traveler spoke succinctly, grabbed Paimon's clothes, and suddenly darted out of the room.

"Grab him!!"

Mao Cai Gong, covered in dust and dirt, roared from the second floor, completely oblivious to the blood spurting from his head.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Thank you for the hospitality

The streetlights are still shining, even in the dim light.

The agile female traveler was pulling Paimon along as they fled.

Behind them was a group of Liyue thugs dressed in short shirts.

The traveler's original intention was to use the density of the crowd to make the thugs push them away, but unexpectedly, the thugs only shouted things like "This is business at the Rock Tea House, idlers please leave," and most ordinary Liyue people wisely avoided them.

"Hey, hey..." Even though he was being held captive by the Travelers, Paimon was still somewhat surprised: "What's going on? That [Island Tea House] is owned by the Fatui, and Prince Tartaglia wants to take us back to interrogate us for information??"

"Also, the people of Liyue are so strange. There's a group of thugs chasing after an ordinary person like you on the street, and nobody's doing anything about it?"

Paimon's question was destined to remain unanswered.

After running for a few more minutes, just as the traveler was starting to catch her breath, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he grabbed Paimon and led him into the restaurant in front of them, which looked like it was doing exceptionally well.

She found an empty seat, calmly tidied her clothes, and then waved to the waiter next to her.

"What's going on?" Paimon, who had been dragged along at breakneck speed, was still feeling dizzy.

She held her head in her hands, looking puzzled, and asked, "Weren't we going to run away? Why did we stop?"

The young traveler didn't answer, but instead pointed to the entrance of the hotel.

The thugs who had been following her and Paimon, looking quite menacing, hesitated to approach the restaurant.

"Here? It seems safe?" Paimon turned around and asked in confusion.

"Hmm...it seems so." The traveler nodded slightly. Beside her, the waiter she had just called had arrived.

"Hello, what would you like to eat?"

A kind and gentle voice reached my ears.

The traveler was startled, then his eyes lit up again.

Her gaze naturally shifted to the cute girl who had made the sound.

This is a very youthful and lively girl with cute braids, her eyes full of sincerity and innocence, as well as a sense of self-confidence.

She was dressed in a smart and practical outfit, with a skirt that didn't reach her knees, which covered even shorter shorts. Her two fair and smooth thighs, covered with skin like cream, were tied with a red ribbon on only one side.

This visual impact is more alluring than bare thighs.

Thank you for the treat, I'm really full today.

The traveler silently clasped his hands together in his heart.

Just as the traveler fell silent, the dark blue-haired girl suddenly shouted happily.

"Ah~~! Traveler, you've finally arrived in Liyue??"

"Oh, it's Xiangling!"

Paimon greeted Xiangling with a familiar expression: "This is the Wanmin Hall in Liyue that you mentioned before."

Xiangling proudly patted her chest: "This is my master, Mr. Mao's Wanmin Hall, and it's the place I'm most proud of. By the way, Ying, since you're here today, is there anything you'd like to eat? I can treat you to anything. Hmm, besides the Wind Demon Dragon meat, there's also a raw Cloud Giant Octopus. Eating that will get you scolded by Master and Yao Yao."

At this point, she suddenly became excited: "I heard that you helped the Knights of Favonius in Mondstadt solve the problem of Stormterror and even became an honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius? Wow, when you fought Stormterror, did you manage to cut off a piece or two of its flesh? I really want to make Stormterror steak, it must be delicious."

Hearing Xiangling's words, the Traveler suddenly recalled the battle with Winddragon, and how Winddragon had turned into a dragon meat steak.

---Hmm~~! It does look quite delicious.
