Original God, Teyvat's own Great Love Immortal

Mondstadt: Liyue: Chapter 28: The Traveler Sets Out for Liyue

Shake your hair, sling your sword, let Paimon carry the bag, and get ready to go!

Liyue! I'm so hot!

When the sky was about to dawn, Lu Sheng packed up his things and left Mondstadt with Paimon, traveling towards Liyue. After visiting Mondstadt, it was time to go to Liyue.

I don’t know to what level I can upgrade my rock-attribute skills during this trip to Liyue.

Lu Sheng is confident that his current strength has reached the level of a quasi-executive officer, but he doesn't know if he can defeat an immortal if he meets one.

If you get a chance, go find Shen He to practice with. If you can beat her, then go find that old guy Liu Yun and try.

"Master, why do we have to leave Mond? There are so many delicious foods in Mond, and I haven't tasted them all yet!"

"Can you think of anything else besides food? Those things in Mondstadt can only be called food, while those in Liyue can be called delicacies."

“Wow! Really? Actually, I’ve heard that Liyue’s cuisine has a very long history~” Paimon’s eyes lit up, and he carried his bag with more energy.

The two walked and stopped, and finally arrived at the border between Mondstadt and Liyue.

A melodious piano sound came from high above, carried by the wind and lingered around Lu Sheng for a long time, refusing to dissipate.

Lu Sheng looked up and saw a green shadow sitting on the mountain, playing the piano, with her legs clad in white silk stockings dangling freely in the air.

"Don't be surprised, traveler. I'm here to see you off. I have something from the bottom of my heart to tell you."

The piano music stopped abruptly, Wendy lowered her head and looked at Lu Sheng with a slight smile.

"You scolded me so much in the tavern that day that it really made me realize my problem. I once wanted to bring freedom to Mondstadt, but my thinking at the time was too superficial. I thought that freedom could be achieved as long as there was no one to rule."

"After going through so many lessons, I realized that I was too naive. The people can be free, but the rulers cannot. When I was away, all the pressure was on Qin alone, and she became the least free person."

"I will stay in Mondstadt and help Jyn establish a new order. I may not leave Mondstadt for the next few hundred years. As long as my people are in need, I will appear to help them."

Lu Sheng shouted to Wendy: "I'm glad you understand! I'll give you another sentence! Do nothing and you will achieve everything!"

"What do you mean?" Wendy asked.

"You don't need to interfere too much with your people, but you can't do nothing. Just let them know what is right and what is wrong. As a ruling god, you must let everyone know your existence, respect you, and fear you, instead of treating you as a mascot."

"I understand! Thank you for your guidance!"

Wendy waved her hand gently, and a cup of dandelion wine floated steadily in front of Lu Sheng.

"It is a tradition of Liyue to send someone off with wine. Since you are going to Liyue this time, I will send you off with the etiquette of Liyue! My friend, drink this glass of wine. Liufeng will clear the way for you. I wish you a safe journey! Remember, Mondstadt will always welcome you!"

Lu Sheng took the glass and drank it all.

"The green mountains share the same clouds and rain, and the flowing winds never separate us. Mondstadt is a nice place, I will definitely come back to visit if I have the chance!"

After that, he waved back and said, "Let's go, Paimon. Don't let down the favorable wind that Wendy has given us."

The sound of the piano started again, and a gentle voice sang a farewell elegy. Wendy sat alone on the top of the mountain, watching Lu Sheng leave Mondstadt and walk into Liyue.

"Wow~ I didn't expect the master could write poetry~ Those two lines of poetry are simply amazing. They made my eyes sore and I almost cried."

Lu Sheng chuckled. He said that he could not write poetry at all. He just memorized a lot of poems when he was in school.

However, with the little knowledge he has, it won't be a problem for him to become a great poet in Liyue.

"How difficult is it to write poetry? I even wrote a poem for Paimon. Do you want to hear it?"

"Eh? A poem for me? I want to hear it!"

Paimon spun around in a circle in delight.

Lu Sheng opened his mouth and read.

"Little Paimon, little Paimon, you are a Hakimon.

When you close your eyes, you sleep; when you open your mouth, you eat."

......

"Hey! What's that? It's totally different from the two lines of poetry I just wrote! Do it again!"

Lu Sheng shook his head. "Poetry is a carrier of language. I used poetry to express my truest thoughts. Is that wrong? No, so this is a good poem."

Paimeng was so angry that he decided to write a poem to fight back.

"Then I'll come too! The master is a big bad guy! The master is a big fool! The master is a big devil! The master is a big pervert!"

Lu Sheng: hold back laughter.jpg

He pretended not to hear and muttered softly, "It seems that the famous Wangshu Inn is in front of us. Their food is famous throughout Teyvat. But I'm not very hungry, so I won't have lunch."

Triggering the key words, Paimeng's attitude changed drastically, "Master, I was wrong! Master, are you thirsty? Do you want some water? Master, let's go to Wangshu Inn to have a rest. I'll massage your shoulders to relax you..."

"Paimon shut up."

The landscape of Liyue is extremely beautiful, like a painting, with rippling water nearby and misty mountains in the distance. Walking among them, Lu Sheng feels like he's back home.

Occasionally, I would meet one or two Liyue people, wearing familiar simple clothes, blending in with the mountains and rivers, and I would seem particularly out of place when blending in with them.

Let’s change our clothes when we get to Liyue Harbor.

It was almost noon when Lu Sheng and Paimeng finally saw the famous inn.

It is located on an island in the lake, close to the water and trees, several stories high, and has a fairy-like atmosphere like a paradise.

As soon as I walked into the inn, a warm waiter came to greet me with a smile.

"Are you two? Please come in and sit anywhere you like! If you are in a hurry, you can eat downstairs. If you want to enjoy the scenery, you can go upstairs and sit down!"

"Idiot, didn't I tell you that the crane had a problem? Why did you ask the guests to go upstairs?"

Another guy reminded.

"Oh, right! Look at my stupid brain! Dear guests, there is a problem with the crane that our restaurant uses to go upstairs. It needs time to repair. We can't go upstairs during this period. Please have a meal downstairs."

Lu Sheng looked up at the top floor of the inn. He could use the wind control technique to fly up, but the demon-conquering great sage didn't seem to be there today, so he decided to give up.

"Then eat down below and serve all your signature dishes."

"Okay! Eh? Wait, did I hear you right, sir? Serve them all at once? There are more than a dozen dishes! Can you finish them all?"

Paimeng was the first to disagree when he heard this. He put his hands on his hips and shouted, "Of course we can finish it! Just go ahead! We have money, right, Master?"

Lu Sheng glanced at Paimon and said, "It's me, not us."

He turned to the waiter and said, "Don't worry, just serve it. As long as it tastes good, you won't have to worry about not being able to finish it."

The waiter immediately became serious, "Don't worry! You won't find a second restaurant in Liyue that serves better food than ours, not to mention in Teyvat! I'll ask the chef to sit down. You two just wait here. I'll make you some tea in a minute!"

While they were waiting, a kite suddenly flew in the sky. When it passed by Wangshu Inn, a few pieces of paper automatically fell from the kite and landed on the open space next to the two people.

Paimon picked it up curiously and read out what was on it.

"VIP service at the Hall of the Dead, buy one coffin get one free, 20% off for the whole package? Hey! Master! Isn't this an advertisement?"

Paimeng handed the paper in his hand to Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng took a glance and knew whose masterpiece this was.

Who else but Walnut could consider such a newborn gift as buy one get one free as a benefit?

But she was the only one who could think of such a genius idea as using kites to distribute flyers.

Mondstadt: Chapter 29: The Traveler Meets Walnut

Soon the ordered dishes were served one by one. The dishes in Liyue were indeed very different from those in Mondstadt. Mondstadt was mainly based on barbecue, salad and thick soup, while the dishes in Liyue were much more complicated, with fried, roasted, boiled and stewed dishes. The main feature was a wide variety of dishes with good color, aroma and taste.

Lu Sheng, who usually only eats until he is 80% full, also had a good meal today. After all, this was the most delicious meal he had had since he came to the continent of Teyvat.

While we were having dinner, a few more guests came to the table next to us. There were five of them in the group. They had loud voices and started drinking as soon as they came up. A strange earthy smell emanated from their bodies.

"Waiter! Bring us the wine! Bring us the best wine!"

"I'm sorry, gentlemen. Our best wine is stored upstairs, but unfortunately the crane is broken, so..."

"Hmph! That doesn't make sense!"

The strongest of the group slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "How can an innkeeper not provide people with wine? If the crane is broken, can't you ask someone to use a rope to hang the wine down? Even I can think of a way, but you can't think of it with your stupid brain?"

The waiter looked embarrassed, "Ah... this..."

The man stepped forward, grabbed the waiter by the collar and lifted him up. "I just got rich today, and I'm in a good mood. I brought my brothers here to have some fun. If we can't drink good wine, my brothers will make trouble and smash your inn. I won't stop you! Go! Bring me some wine!"

"Oh! I'm going right away! I'm going right away!"

Lu Sheng glanced sideways, but didn't meddle in other people's business. He quickly went back to eating, but he was still eavesdropping on the conversation of the people at the back table.

"Hey! We really came to the right place! Places with a long history are great. In just a few days, we have..."

The youngest among the group was so delighted that his expression was beyond words, and he spoke with excitement, as if he had just been shocked by something incredible.

But before he could finish his words, he was glared back by the burly man.

"Yes, this place is great, the scenery is amazing, we visited so many famous rivers in just a few days, it was really refreshing!"

"Hehe, yes, not only is the scenery beautiful, but the girls there are also much prettier than the queen beauties in our village."

echoed another.

What followed was a collection of the most beloved dirty jokes among men when they get together. They talked about it for about a quarter of an hour while drinking, and then the voices gradually faded away.

The man with sharp eyes beside the sturdy man pressed his palm to signal everyone to be quiet, and then whispered to the sturdy man: "Boss... look at that man."

The sturdy man in the lead was puzzled: "What happened to that guy?"

"Look at his sword."

After he said this, everyone's eyes turned to the sword carried by the man at the next table.

Their eyes suddenly sparkled with light!

Although there were no experts in weapons among them, even laymen could see that the sword was extraordinary.

A magical tool! An absolute magical tool! A must-have magical tool!

If you sell this kind of treasure on the black market and raise the price by making up a story, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

The sturdy man stood up, picked up a glass of wine, and walked straight to Lu Sheng.

"Brother, from the looks of it, you are not from Liyue, right?"

Lu Sheng didn't even raise his head, "I'm from Mond."

"Oh~ So you are the distinguished guest from Mondstadt! Is this your first time in Liyue? How is it? Is the food in Liyue good?"

Seeing that Lu Sheng didn't reply, he smiled awkwardly and introduced himself: "My name is Li Daniu, and those behind me are my brothers. We are from the same village, and we need someone to look after us when we are out there. In the underworld, morality is important. I see that you are alone, and you must be lonely on the road. Meeting is fate, so I offer a glass of wine to you, and we will be acquaintances from now on."

Lu Sheng pointed at Paimeng and said calmly: "I am not alone, nor am I lonely. I appreciate your kindness, but I won't drink the wine."

"Oh my gosh! What the hell is this?"

Li Daniu was shocked when he saw Paimon showing off his fandom, and almost thought that Mondstadt could also sit at the table to eat.

"I'm not a thing, I'm Paimon!"

Li Daniu was puzzled, but when he thought that the person in front of him could carry such a good sword and was accompanied by some strange elves, it was not difficult to accept it.

"Hey, fine, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. But what are you doing in Liyue? You should be going to Liyue Harbor, right? It's on the way, how about going together? I'll have someone to take care of me on the way."

"No, we're done eating. Paimon, let's go."

Lu Sheng decisively refused, stood up and turned to leave, calling on Paimon to continue on his way.

"Um... Master, why are you in such a hurry? I'm only nine-tenths full."

Before leaving, Paimon wrapped up half a roast chicken and stuffed it into his bag, then staggered after him.

"Master, those people just now were so strange. We didn't know them, but they seemed very welcoming. Are all Liyue people so warm and hospitable?"

Boom!

Lu Sheng hit Paimon's head with the scabbard of his sword.

"Remember, when you are out, don't trust anyone. The more enthusiastic someone is, the more dangerous they are."

"It hurts! Paimon knows."

After walking a little further, a burst of curses suddenly came from not far ahead.

"Oh! What bad luck! You... forget it! If you can't afford to offend me, can't you just avoid me? You damn plague god!"

Soon, an old man with a livid face passed by angrily.
