Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"no problem!"

Jiang Bai, Kong, and Dadalia each carried two kites, while Paimon held one up with both hands. As for Zhongli, he had his hands behind his back and led the way.

"How are your preparations for the celestial ceremony coming along?" D'Artagnan asked casually.

"Still in preparation. What, is the CEO planning to provide us with some financial support?"

If he weren't holding something, Jiang Bai would have immediately put his arm around his shoulder and, like two buddies, discussed how much Mora he should sponsor.

"This is a ceremony to send off immortals for our Rock King Emperor. If we're going to support him, we should at least give him a few million Mora!"

Tadalia: (°Д°)

D'Artagnan never expected that he would be extorted for money just because he came out to gather some information! And they asked for millions of dollars right off the bat!

"Support is fine, but it doesn't seem to benefit me at all..."

"How can you say there are no benefits? Liyue and Shidong are friendly nations with diplomatic relations. It's only natural that when one is in trouble, the other should come to the rescue!"

"Furthermore, such a momentous event as the passing of the Rock God to the heavens should at least have conveyed some grief on behalf of your Ice God. The Ice God is too far away to attend the farewell ceremony, and you, as his subordinate, are incredibly inconsiderate. Why didn't you offer any thanks?"

When a god of the same rank passes away, even the Ice God, who is also a god, doesn't send anything. It's truly a sign of the world's moral decline and the gods' hearts have become corrupt!

Jiang Bai found the argument increasingly convincing and turned to the air, saying, "The Wind God and the Rock God should know each other, right? The Emperor's death is such a big deal, how can the Wind God not show any concern? After you finish flying your kite, go to Mondstadt and invite him over for a feast. Also, have him bring some money as a gift!"

Since we're going to have a banquet, how can we not give a gift?

Zhong Li: "......"

He rubbed his forehead in annoyance; he didn't want to see that drunkard at this moment.

Paimon nodded seriously, "That's right! How can we not inform the Wind God about such a big matter! We'll head back to Mondstadt soon! Tell him to come over as soon as possible!"

He blinked his eyes.

Wait a minute, he didn't tell Jiang Bai that he could use the ley line anchor, so how did he know?

He gave Paimon a strange look. Could it be that Paimon had told Jiang Bai this without his knowledge?

After we've put everything away, let's ask Jiang Bai.

Seeing that they really intended to do so, Zhongli had no choice but to stop. "Liyue is going through a very turbulent time right now, so it's better not to invite gods from other countries over."

"Why?" Jiang Bai asked, puzzled. "We originally planned for the Wind God to come as a mortal, is that alright?"

Paimon chimed in, "Yeah, yeah! Only a few of us would know if the Wind God came."

D'Artagnan: Have you all forgotten that there's still me here?

Zhongli: ......

Can he say he didn't want that drunkard to come and laugh at him for holding his own funeral?

“I also think it’s fine to invite the Wind God over,” Sora said, expressing his opinion.

Given Venti's carefree nature, do you think he'd care if something happened to Liyue? Impossible!

"I'm sure the Hall Master will support my idea of ​​inviting the Wind God to participate in the ceremony for sending off the immortals to the Emperor." Jiang Bai really couldn't see any downside to Wendy coming.

The only downside might be... that it makes you drink a lot?

Zhong Li: "......"

You've all said your piece, what else can he say?

Forget it, it's no use him refusing. Even if that drunkard doesn't know now, he will find out later.

Mondstadt.

Wendy lay on the roof, basking in the sun and drinking dandelion wine.

A gentle breeze whispered in his ear, carrying news from afar.

He suddenly sat up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with interest.

"Oh dear, someone invited me to Grandpa's funeral, I absolutely have to go..."

But then he started to worry, "If I don't bring a gift, I'll probably be kicked out..."

His gaze shifted and suddenly landed on the dandelions outside the city. "Hey, let's bring a few dandelions! Dandelions picked by the Wind God himself, placed on the altar during the Sending-Off-the-Immortals Ceremony, the old man will definitely like them!"

"And there's still wine. We need to go to Fengqi Land and dig up a pot of it. The old man must be missing my dandelion wine..."

Chapter 283 Don't Forget Your Expression

Thinking it over, he grabbed the bottle, dodged the cat sunbathing on the balcony, and jumped off the roof. Like the wind taking a turn, he landed at the entrance of the Adventurers' Guild.

“Catherine, if the blond traveler comes looking for me, tell him I already know why he's here, and that I've already set off for Liyue!”

“Okay.” Catherine nodded, and in the blink of an eye, the figure in green had already run out like a gust of wind.

......

In Liyue, the group was still discussing whether or not to invite the Wind God, completely ignoring Tartaglia.

"Speaking of which, when the Wind God arrives, should we tell Walnut?" Paimon asked.

"Let's not do it. I'm afraid the Wind God wouldn't want others to know his identity," Zhong Li said, dissuading them from the idea.

Once Hu Tao finds out that Venti is the Anemo Archon, and guesses from Venti's attitude towards him that he is the Geo Archon, their little master will be strutting around like crazy.

“That makes sense,” Paimon agreed.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's invite him to the event in a private capacity. When Xiangling invites us all to dinner, we can invite him too, which will also be considered as us treating him to dinner."

Kong sighed, "You're really good at taking advantage of people..."

“It’s all about eating, it doesn’t matter who’s paying, it’s all the same!” Jiang Bai said confidently.

"Have you all forgotten that I'm still here?" Dadalia finally couldn't help but ask.

The group all looked at him, then tacitly ignored him.

"You ladies have all stolen the Heart of the Wind God, how could you not know who the Wind God is?"

"Uh......"

Dadalia was speechless in response to Jiang Bai's words.

But he really didn't know what Barbatos, the god of wind, looked like in his human form...

Even if the Wind God came, with his weak power, it wouldn't affect their plans much, since Liyue has more than just him as an executor.

[Lady] That guy arrived in Liyue a long time ago, but he hasn't shown up yet.

"We're going to invite the wind god here, so don't forget to give him a sign to mark the arrival of winter."

D'Artagnan suddenly flashed a bright smile. "I won't forget."

It all depends on whether Liyue can handle it.

After setting the kite aloft at Yujingtai, Kong pulled Jiang Bai aside, while Paimeng followed behind him, puzzled.

"How did you know that I could teleport through leyline anchors?"

Jiang Bai blinked, suddenly realizing that he had inadvertently exposed himself.

He thought for a moment, unsure of what to say, and simply gave a mysterious smile.

"you guess."

null:???!!!

Why don't you say "Hey!" like Wendy?!

His ability to teleport through ley lines was not publicized, and very few people knew about it, but Jiang Bai was definitely not among those who knew!

He looked at Paimon, "Paimon, did you tell him that?"

"No, no!" Paimon quickly waved his hand.

That's really strange...

Jiang Bai pushed him forward, "Don't worry about this kind of thing. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Go find Wendy quickly, or he won't make it to Prince Yan's funeral."

Paimon sulked and crossed his arms. "This sham act is exactly like a street performer!"

"Maybe it really was Wendy who told him..." A possibility came to mind.

"I'll go ask him in Mondstadt."

Kong and Paimon went directly to Mondstadt via teleportation, but someone still had to do the work.

"What do we need to prepare next?" Jiang Bai asked.

"The Fragrance of Immortality".

"what is that?"

"A kind of fragrance that Bubulu should have."

"Let's go then." Jiang Bai said, heading towards Bubulu, a place he knew very well.

“I won’t be going with you. I have other things to do. Goodbye for now,” D’Artagnan said.

"Whatever." Jiang Bai ignored him.

At this point, only Jiang Bai and Zhong Li remained at Bubu Lodge. As they walked, Jiang Bai casually asked a few questions, "Mr. Zhong Li, do you know the Wind God?"

"how do I say this?"

"You seem to know quite a bit about the Wind God."

Jiang Bai just noticed that Zhong Li's attitude was somewhat different when the Wind God was mentioned.

"I have naturally heard of the deeds of the Wind God." Zhongli had no intention of mentioning it.

Seeing that Zhongli didn't want to talk about it, Jiang Bai didn't bother to ask anymore. "When Fengshen arrives, I'll ask him myself. He'll definitely know your identity."

Zhong Li smiled slightly. "I hope you won't regret it after you find out."

"Regret? What could I possibly regret?" Jiang Bai didn't believe it.

Zhongli smiled but remained silent.

"Speaking of which, young master, you came here today specifically to find out where the Emperor's immortal ancestral remains are hidden, right?"

The Fools' goal is the Heart of God, and the Emperor's Heart of God is most likely located in the Emperor's Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body.

The Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body had long been secretly hidden by the Seven Stars; it was a top secret. Only they, preparing the ceremony to send off the immortals, knew where it was hidden.

Young Master must not have found any clues, otherwise he wouldn't have set his sights on them.

“Hmm.” Zhongli nodded and chuckled. “He came all this way but not only did he not get any information, he also got swindled out of Mora by you.”

"Hmph, I won't tell him~ I won't tell him~" Jiang Bai said, humming a song.

Accompanied by Jiang Bai's strange singing, the two entered Bubulu.

There were hardly any people at Bubulu today; not even a doctor was seen.

Jiang Bai felt something was off and knocked on the counter. "Is anyone here?"

"have......"

A somewhat slow voice came from under the counter. Jiang Bai looked down and asked, "Qiqi, are you minding the shop today?"

"Hmm." Qiqi jumped onto the stool, raising her head above the counter.

"Brother Jiang Bai, are you here to see a doctor or to get medicine?"

Jiang Bai patted her cool little head, "I came here especially to see you!"

Qiqi felt her face getting a little hot. Zhongli coughed lightly, ruthlessly exposing the truth.

"We've come to find something called 'Eternal Fragrance'."

"Ah... I didn't come here specifically to see Qiqi..." Qiqi lowered her head in disappointment.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I'll definitely look at you first, and then buy things."

Jiang Bai picked up the sleeping little one from his shoulder and placed it in Qi Qi's hands, saying, "I even brought you a toy."

Qiqi looked at the little slime with two wide eyes staring into her palm and felt quite happy.

"Cool, soft...so comfortable..."
