Chapter 58 Seeking Help from the Wind God, Idle Clouds Decline Invitation

Only after seeing that his skin was charred did the Dragon King Naga realize what had happened.

"Ouch! I was wondering what was cooked, but it was me! It hurts so much!"

As he spoke, King Ratna panicked and released ice and water elements in an attempt to alleviate his burns.

As a result, it lost control of its strength and ended up freezing itself!

And, by sheer coincidence, the words Zhongli left in its consciousness appeared after it had fully regained consciousness.

"Ruo Tuo, during the battle of the Abyss of Layered Rocks, you were controlled by the power of the abyss and lost your mind. Fortunately, Xun Feng and I joined forces to restore your consciousness and reconstruct the shattered environment. I hope that after you wake up, you won't get lost and unable to find your way back to the Hall of Rebirth."

Hearing the words spoken, King Ruoduo felt annoyed and resentful, his mind filled with self-reproach.

Upon hearing what followed, King Ruoduo's mood underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

"You damn Morax, you called me for help and then criticized me for having no sense of direction!"

After saying this, the Dragon King Ruoduo became agitated and released flames, melting all the ice on his body.

"Hmph, I've eaten so many bags of snacks, I can find the Hall of Rebirth just by smelling it."

Immediately afterwards, the Dragon King Ruoduo transformed back into human form and confidently strode away from the abyss of towering rocks.

Mondstadt region.

"Ying, I believe you now, but I still have some doubts about whether the person you're looking for is truly willing to help us."

After saying that, Paimon stroked his chin and carefully studied the person's appearance.

"I really don't believe that street performers would be willing to help us."

"Don't worry, he'll be willing to come."

As the two chatted, they walked to the closest Anemo Seven statue to Liyue Harbor.

"Hmm, okay, I'll give it a try. But something just feels off."

After saying that, Paimon hesitated and looked around.

After confirming that there were no acquaintances around except for Ying, she cleared her throat.

then……

"Ahem, my supreme god of freedom, I, Paimon, am your most devout follower! I beseech you to appear here and grant my wish!"

After saying that, Paimon hesitated for a moment, then broke open the lid of a bottle of cider and picked it up with both hands.

Whether he heard Paimon's voice or smelled the aroma of the wine, Barbatos had quietly arrived at the scene.

"Uh... Ying, is the street singer still sleeping? I've been so sincere, and he still won't come out!"

As Paimon spoke, he tightened the cap on the cider.

"Hey! Paimon, I never expected you to be my most devout follower!"

Barbatos stepped out from behind Paimon and gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Wow! When did you get here? You scared me to death! I just wanted to ask you for a favor. I heard that only with a sincere heart can one be watched by the gods."

"Haha, what's the matter that requires our guide Paimon to find a bard for help?"

"The Lantern Festival in Liyue is coming soon. I found a job hanging lanterns. The pay is good, but the workload is heavy. I need your help."

Barbatos stroked his chin, listening and thinking at the same time.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Paimont quickly offered his chips.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to drinks at the tavern after the performance, how about it?"

"What are you saying? As a deity, fulfilling the wishes of believers is the most important thing; whether it's alcohol or not doesn't matter. Um... can we take it home after we finish drinking?"

After saying that, Barbatos scratched his face sheepishly.

"Great, it's good that you agree!"

Liyue, Mt. Aozang.

"Liu Yun, the Lantern Festival is approaching. Have you considered getting together with old friends to witness the splendor of Liyue? Xiaoyue and Lishui have already agreed."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your invitation. However, I have been busy researching new mechanical creations recently and have no time to travel. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"It's alright, we can get together another day."

After saying this, Zhongli turned and left.

As soon as Zhongli left, Shenhe poked his head out from behind the cave entrance.

"Master, why did you refuse the Emperor's invitation?"

"Shen He, it's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I've already gone!"

After saying that, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng flapped his wings helplessly.

"You've been there? Master, when did you go to Liyue Harbor?"

Shen He tilted his head in confusion, a big question mark above his head.

"Hehe, after I left the Laminaria yesterday afternoon, I couldn't resist A-Ping's persuasion, so I went for a stroll in Liyue Harbor for a while."

"Wait a minute, Master, why did you only come back this morning?"

After saying that, Shen He looked puzzled again.

"Ahem, I was attracted by the strange creations of the area, so I studied them carefully when it was late at night."

"What could possibly pique Master's curiosity?"

Hearing what Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun said, Shen He's curiosity was piqued.

"It's nothing special, just a man-made object made of paper and thread that rises with the wind. It's said to be called a kite."

After saying that, Lord Liuyun Borrows the Wind added more.

"With my strength, I can definitely create an even more powerful kite. When that time comes, I will go to the Lantern Festival again and give A-Ping and Xiao-Yue a big surprise."

After saying this, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng transformed into a human-shaped Xianyun.

"Shen He, your master is going into the cave to conduct research now. When you have some free time from practicing your skills, you can go and pick up your senior sister, Gan Yu, who is about to start her vacation."

"Okay, master."

Liyue Harbor.

"Seven seven!"

As Xunfeng led Qiqi out of the store, they ran into Yaoyao, who was on her way to find Qiqi to play.

"Qiqi, it's been a long time!"

"Yes, Yao Yao."

"Qiqi, let me tell you, I encountered so many monsters yesterday..."

As soon as Yao Yao saw Qi Qi, she couldn't wait to share her story.

To avoid disturbing their conversation, Xunfeng slowed his pace and followed behind them.

Before long, the group arrived at Wanmin Hall.

At this moment, Xiangling was sprinkling seasonings into the pot as she pleased.

Upon hearing Yao Yao's voice, she immediately leaned out the window.

"Hey! Yao Yao, you've come at the perfect time! Come and try my new dish!"

After saying that, she gestured for everyone to sit down while quickly stir-frying the food and then pouring it onto a plate.

The portion was just the right amount, enough to fill the plate perfectly.

"Senior sister, what kind of dish is this? It looks so good and smells so delicious!"

As soon as it was served, Yao Yao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but clap her hands in praise.

After all, the overwhelming aroma was so enticing that even the cats and dogs nearby couldn't resist getting closer.

If it weren't for the chill emanating from Qiqi, this plate of food would probably have been devoured by stray animals.
