I write novels in Liyue

"Welcome! Hey, Hu Tao and Fang Qiu, is that you two? Are you here to eat?"

Upon seeing Hu Tao and Fang Qiu, Xiang Ling placed a plate of fragrant and tender spicy chicken on a guest's table, exclaiming with delight.

"Hehe, it's a celebration banquet! I'm treating today. Xiangling, you should come too. Let's have some fun, and then we can go out for a stroll after dinner."

"Hu Tao said."

"But I still need to help..."

Xiangling hesitated.

"It's okay, you rest. Go and relax with them. There aren't many people today, I can manage on my own."

In the kitchen, Chef Mao overheard their conversation. Holding a pot in one hand, he tossed the food in the wok while speaking.

"This dish can't be away from the heat for too long, hurry back to the stove."

Xiangling's attention was entirely focused on the pot that Master Mao was holding, and she frowned as she spoke.

"Alright, alright, you child, how can you talk to your father like that? You two can chat slowly, I'm going back to get busy."

Master Mao smiled awkwardly, picked up the pot, and went back to the kitchen.

However, after returning to the kitchen, Chef Mao insisted that she go and rest, and Xiangling had no choice but to agree.

What would you like to eat?

Xiangling handed the menu to Hu Tao and Fang Qiu and said.

"Fang Qiu, you can have some."

"Hu Tao said."

Although Wanmintang's prices are very affordable, it was Hu Tao who was treating us.

Although Hu Tao is rich, her money didn't come from thin air.

So, just like last time, Fang Qiu ordered two inexpensive dishes with large portions.

"Hmm, is that all you ordered? Then let's start with a vegetarian noodle dish. Xiangling, can you recommend something else?"

Hu Tao held the menu, thought about it carefully, and then said.

"Huh, really?"

Upon hearing what Hu Tao said, Xiangling's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's fake; it can only be a dish that's already on the menu."

Hu Tao immediately rejected it.

"Ok."

Xiangling immediately deflated like a punctured balloon. She picked up the menu and casually ordered a few inexpensive and delicious dishes. After Xiangling finished ordering, Hu Tao glanced at Fang Qiu, then took the menu again and ordered a few more dishes.

"We won't be able to finish this much."

Fang Qiu quickly said.

"Don't worry, leave it to me today."

Hu Tao patted her flat stomach through her clothes and said.

"Ok."

Fang Qiu sighed; she naturally understood Hu Tao's intention.

If we can't finish it, we can pack it up.

"You guys chat first, I'll go and cook our dishes and then come over."

After ordering, Xiangling grabbed the menu and rushed into the kitchen.

"By the way, Hu Tao, are you free tomorrow?"

After chatting for a while, Fang Qiu suddenly asked a question.

"You have time? What's up? Is there something you want to do? Or do you want to ask me out?"

Hu Tao smiled and said.

Feeling Hu Tao's mischievous gaze, Fang Qiu suddenly felt a flush on her face.

I was actually teased by Hu Tao!

"Ahem, no, I'd like to go outside the city tomorrow. Could you come with me?"

Fang Qiu coughed lightly to hide her blush and said...

"To outside the city?"

Hu Tao was taken aback.

In her memory, Fang Qiu spent his days at home writing books and sleeping.

Today she actually wants me to accompany her out of the city?

Seeing Hu Tao's confusion, Fang Qiu told her about his desire to go out of the city to test his combat abilities.

What are you going to try?

"Hu Tao asked."

"How about slimes or hilichurls?"

Fang Qiu thought for a moment and then said.

"Slimes or Hilichurls? Speaking of which, a few days ago there was a bounty posted on the Liyue Harbor bounty board, saying that Hilichurls attacked a caravan. Although that Hilichurls caravan has been wiped out, there is now a bounty, saying that anyone who clears out Hilichurls or slimes near the main road can exchange them for Mora."

Hu Tao stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Originally I wasn't interested, but if you come along, we could give it a try."

"Um, isn't this level a bit too high?"

Fang Qiu was taken aback and immediately became somewhat intimidated.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Walnut put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said, "Besides, even if we don't mention the matter of eliminating harm for the people, we can still earn Mora."

"OK then."

Seeing Hu Tao's confidence, Fang Qiu stopped talking.

trust.

Besides, even if we can't win, we can just run away.

Ok……

Why do I feel like I'm setting a goal for myself?

Hmm... I might write about this later.

"After this battle, I'll go home and get married."

Soon after, Xiangling also brought up steaming hot dishes.

Soon, the entire table was piled high with various dishes, each emitting a rich and fragrant aroma.

"The chicken soup is here! Hey, all the dishes are ready, why aren't we eating yet?"

Xiangling asked.

"Wasn't I waiting for you to come together?"

Fang Qiu smiled and said, "Please sit down."

"Hehe, you guys are so nice."

Xiangling chuckled.

After sitting down, Hu Tao told Xiang Ling what had just happened and invited her to join them.

“No problem, my new dish needs some fresh slime.”

Xiangling thought about it for a moment and then readily agreed.

"Then let's agree on this."

After agreeing on the departure time, Hu Tao picked up the vegetarian noodles in front of her and began to eat them with relish.

Fang Qiu wanted to tell Hu Tao that eating vegetarian noodles wouldn't make her stronger.

But when Fang Qiu thought of the look in Hu Tao's eyes as she looked at her chest before she started eating the vegetarian noodles, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.

Chapter Nineteen: Don't stare like that.

The next day, in the morning.

Fang Qiu got up very early.

According to the time in my previous life, it was around 9 a.m.

Breakfast was leftovers from last night.

After finishing her meal, bathed in the morning sunlight, Fang Qiu arrived at the agreed-upon location.

I had just arrived near the bounty board when I saw Hu Tao.

She carried a fiery red spear, the spearhead of which was quite different from ordinary spears, resembling more of a halberd, with thin, fiery red blades extending from both sides of the spearhead.

At that moment, she was talking incessantly to a passerby adventurer.

Fang Qiu only heard her words clearly after he got closer.

"You have to believe me. Life is full of unexpected events. An adventurer like you might just die one day. If you book our services at the Hall of Rebirth in advance, we can give you a 30% discount if something happens to you. That way, your wife and children won't have to pay such high fees."

Upon hearing this, the adventurer was immediately enraged, but upon closer inspection of the strange spear in Hu Tao's hand and the Eye of God he wore, he fell silent. After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a single sentence:

"Um, I don't have a wife or children."

"And what about your partner?"

"I don't have a boyfriend either..."

"There will always be one."
