Star Iron: May all your wishes come true at the start, join the chat group

Anyway, it's still early, so there's no need to rush across the universe to Liyue. A little delay won't be a problem.

Furthermore, as long as Silver Wolf and Black Tower don't actually fight, a little bickering is fine; consider it adding some life to this empty mansion.

Chapter 48: Liyue Harbor Encounters, Paimon is Hungry

A moment later.

Since neither Black Tower nor Silver Wolf were the type to be unable to distinguish between what was important and what was not, and Su Yu was also present.

So the two of them started arguing for a while, but soon they quieted down and waited for Su Yu's instructions.

Seeing that the two were ignoring each other, Su Yu pushed up the sunglasses she had borrowed from Kafka and spoke up.

"Alright, let's go!"

As for the argument between Black Tower and Silver Wolf, Su Yu didn't mention it at all.

…………

Genshin Impact Universe.

Liyue.

"So this is the Liyue Harbor that my benefactor spoke of, the most prosperous and trade-rich city on this planet."

Tingyun strolled along the streets of Liyue Harbor, looking curiously at the ancient and elegant buildings on both sides of the street, nodding in admiration.

"It feels somewhat similar to the Luofu Immortal Ship!"

Black Tower didn't care about such things. Silver Wolf and Kafka, the two Star Core Hunters, were still experiencing the differences between the Genshin Impact universe and the Star Iron universe, and they didn't pay any attention to Tingyun.

Su Yu smiled and said, "There are seven countries on this planet now, and each country has a different style."

"Since we have seven days to stay here, let's explore Liyue Harbor and take advantage of the annual Lantern Festival."

Paimon nodded repeatedly, saying as if reciting a familiar story, "That's right, that's right. Every country has its own style, especially when it comes to food, there are big differences in taste."

"Like Mondstadt's Sweet Flower Chicken and Fire Meat Sauce Noodles, which are one style, Liyue's Braised Pork Belly and Immortal Jumps Over the Wall are another style, and then there's Inazuma's..."

Paimon stretched out his little hands, counting the delicious foods he had eaten one by one. Before he knew it, saliva was already drooling from his mouth.

"Paimon, we're the tour guides this time. We're supposed to show Su Yu and the others around Liyue properly. Stop talking about all that delicious food!"

Upon seeing this, Ying couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead in exasperation. She then immediately interrupted Paimon's recitation of the dishes and began to earnestly introduce them to Black Tower and the others.

"Although Liyue Harbor and Luofu Island may seem similar at first glance, their underlying styles are quite different."

Since the battle with the Demon God Oser in Liyue Harbor, Luna has come to Liyue every year to participate in the Lantern Festival.

Over time, they became intimately familiar with the customs, traditions, and legends of Liyue, having witnessed them firsthand.

From Morax, the ruling deity of Liyue, and the Seven Stars of the Eight Gates, to which restaurant in Liyue Harbor has the best food and which storyteller has the best storytelling, Yingdu introduces everything to everyone.

Silver Wolf walked side by side with Su Yu on the cobblestone street, and Ying's voice could be heard in their ears.

Although she didn't say anything, she was deeply moved.

As she looked around, she saw that the city was decorated with colorful lanterns and ribbons, creating a festive atmosphere. Most people had smiles on their faces, and acquaintances would greet each other with "Happy Lantern Festival".

Not far away at the dock, groups of children were playing around with toys such as windmills and dough figurines, their cheerful laughter ringing out from time to time. The noise was so loud that it was hard to scold them.

Many vendors push their carts to sell goods during the festival in order to earn money to support their families, while a few air force fishermen grumble and complain, believing that there are no fish in the sea in front of them.

Silver Wolf felt that simply taking a leisurely stroll with Su Yu like this, even without playing games together, would be an immense pleasure.

Of course, it would be even more perfect if it were just me and Su Yu, and none of the people who would be in the way, like Black Tower, Tingyun, Kafka, Ying, and Paimon, were here.

Kafka also surveyed everything in Liyue Harbor, her beautiful purple eyes shimmering with a hint of emotion.

"It's a very nice place; it looks very relaxing."

In the Star Iron Universe, Star Core Hunters not only have to complete the scripted missions issued by Eriol, the slave of fate, but also evade the pursuit of the corporation and most of the forces in the galaxy.

Most of the time, Star Core Hunters need to be on edge, and moments of relaxation like this are truly rare.

Black Tower didn't speak, but he kept his brows slightly furrowed as he walked, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

goo~

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came to everyone's ears. They all looked in the direction of the sound and focused their attention on Paimon.

"Hehe, I'm hungry."

Paimon covered his stomach with his hand, a little embarrassed, then scratched his head and said helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do about it. It's lunchtime now, so it's normal for my stomach to be growling!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu smiled nonchalantly and turned to look at Ying beside her.

"Paimon is right, it's lunchtime now. Ying, why don't you take us to lunch first!"

Tingyun covered her mouth and chuckled twice: "What my benefactor said is right. We also want to try the food from other universes and see what it's like."

Ying was already used to Paimon's gluttonous "rice bucket" nature, so she could only shrug.

"Okay, let's go to Wanmintang for dinner!"

"It's the Lantern Festival now, Xiangling should be back by now. I'll go see her, Shenhe, and Guoba."

Having chosen a location, Ying led the group to immediately turn around and head towards the Wanmin Hall.

On the way, Ying also introduced the three friends she was about to meet to everyone.

Xiangling is the most skilled chef in Liyue. It is because of her that Wanmintang has achieved its current success. Even Zhongli, the picky and strict guest of Wangshengtang, often praises Xiangling's cooking skills.

Shen He, a disciple of Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun, the Liyue master, is highly skilled but born with the fate of being a solitary and calamity-bringer, so a red rope is used to suppress his destiny.

There's also Guoba, originally an ancient demon god in Liyue legends, the Demon God of the Hearth, who once controlled the hearth and people's livelihood. However, because he channeled his power into the earth to protect the people, he degenerated into his current pet form, always by Xiangling's side.

The group arrived at Wanmintang and immediately saw Shen He serving dishes as a waiter, along with a large number of customers.

Paimon was very disappointed when he saw this: "Wow, there are too many people. We don't even have a place to sit, let alone order food."

As a disciple of the immortal, Shen He was naturally sharp-eyed and quick-witted, and soon spotted Ying and Paimeng, two familiar faces.

"Traveler, Paimon, it's been a long time, Happy Lantern Festival!"

Shen He served the last two dishes to the customer and immediately walked out of the Wanmintang restaurant, his indifferent expression revealing a subtle hint of surprise.

Chapter 49 Boiled Blackback Bass is Here, Late Night Business

Only when they got closer could Su Yu and the others clearly see Shen He's current appearance.

The other person was wearing a white and gray stand-up collar short shirt on top and a black tight-fitting bodysuit on the bottom. Some of the thighs near the waist were exposed, revealing a bit of fair skin.

Shen He has a slender face, snow-white skin, and a head of white hair tied into a thick braid. His eyes are cold yet innocent, making him seem somewhat naive and unapproachable.

"Shen He!"

Seeing Shen He approach, Paimon waved to her happily, and Ying also greeted her with a big smile.

"Shen He, it's been a long time."

Then, she introduced Shen He to Su Yu and the others.

"This is Shen He, whom I mentioned to you on the way here."

"Don't let Shen He's cold appearance fool you, she's actually a very warm-hearted person."

Shen He glanced at Su Yu and the others in front of him; they were all unfamiliar faces.

But it doesn't matter, the traveler's friend is her friend.

"Hello, I am Shen He."

As she spoke, she glanced back at the Wanmintang shop and saw that Xiangling and Uncle Mao were almost overwhelmed with work, so she immediately said something.

"The store is a bit busy right now, I have to go help out first, we'll talk later."

Although Shenhe is eager to chat with the travelers she has not seen for a long time, Xiangling and Uncle Mao have always been very kind to her and take good care of her.

So, in these busy times, Shen He felt he should do his job well at Wanmintang and try not to hold Xiangling and the others back.

Watching Shen He leave in a hurry to continue serving dishes in the shop, Yin Lang couldn't help but shrug at Ying.

"I thought you had connections who could let us cut in line!"

"By the way, if we're willing to pay extra, could the owner of this restaurant cook for us first?"

Ying also shrugged in response, smiling awkwardly: "Um... Wanmintang doesn't offer this kind of extra-cost service."

Just then, Su Yu saw a cute girl with short, dark blue hair walk quickly out of the Wanmintang store and wave excitedly at Ying.

"Traveler! Paimon!"

Paimon immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Look, it's Xiangling!"

Xiangling ran over excitedly and grabbed Ying's hand: "If Shenhe hadn't just told me, I wouldn't have known you had already returned to Liyue from Nordkalai!"

As she spoke, she looked at Su Yu and the others standing behind Ying and waved to them with a smile.

"You must be Ying's friends, right? Hello, I'm Mao Xiangling!"

"By the way, don't stand outside waiting. A table of guests has already finished eating, so I specially reserved a seat for you."

Little Paimon couldn't help but cheer, "Great!"

Even Silver Wolf couldn't help but feel a little happy, as waiting in line outside was such a waste of time.

The food made by this girl named Xiangling is really that delicious, but the number of customers in this restaurant seems to say it all.

Xiangling led everyone into Wanmintang Restaurant, sat down at an empty table, asked Su Yu and the others about their preferences, and then hurriedly ran to the kitchen to continue cooking.

After everyone was seated, Ying explained to Su Yu and the others, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, I forgot I should have told Xiangling beforehand. I almost made you all have to queue outside with me."

Su Yu smiled nonchalantly: "It's alright. Good food is worth the wait. I just don't know how good this Xiangling's cooking skills are that so many customers are looking forward to it."

Ying smiled confidently upon hearing this: "Don't worry, Xiangling's cooking skills will definitely not disappoint you."

Paimon chimed in, "That's right, you can absolutely trust Xiangling's cooking skills."

Seeing this, Su Yu didn't say anything more. He was indeed quite looking forward to Xiang Ling's cooking skills.
