Chapter 109: Shen Yu Xian Ming
"really?"
Hearing the words of the Ice Queen, Liu Bai's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at her expectantly.
"Yes, but I think you should know the scale."
The Ice Queen responded, but Liu Bai's question prompted her to add another sentence immediately to avoid the same thing as last time.
"Then... step on me?"
Liu Bai stretched his neck to take a look at the Ice Queen's long legs and asked tentatively.
About four or five months ago, he completed the Queen's assessment and became the twelfth executive officer. He said the same thing when he was kicked out to the Winter Palace for insulting the Queen's majesty.
"...?"
Nashida suddenly raised her head and tilted it, looking at Liu Bai with a strange expression.
"can."
To Liu Bai's surprise, the Ice Queen nodded and agreed.
"I can post notices in the city, and you can go to the Northland Bank to claim Mora as long as you step on it."
The Ice Queen continued to add that she was not angry like last time, but had already thought of a way to deal with it.
"Forget it then. Thank you, Your Majesty. I am still a very picky eater."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai quickly shook his head and refused.
When winter just arrived, Liu Bai had already gotten used to doing this kind of things and saying this kind of things in order to get rewards from the system.
"Well, let's put it this way... I remember that you are very short of Mora. Go to Pantalone to collect the 5 billion Mora bonus later. I will give him instructions."
After letting Liu Bai refuse himself, the Ice Queen then told Liu Bai about the reward.
As for the vacation mentioned at the beginning, considering Liu Bai's work efficiency, she was a little reluctant to give it to him.
"Okay! Thank you, Her Majesty! May Your Majesty be blessed with good health! Long live Your Majesty! May Your Majesty be blessed with good fortune and live as long as the Southern Mountains! Your Majesty..."
Liu Bai's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked the Ice Queen, almost blurting out all the good words he knew.
When Liu Bai couldn't think of any other words, the Ice Queen waved her hand and asked him to leave. Liu Bai had no choice but to continue hiding Nashida under her clothes and took her away from the Winter Palace.
After leaving the Winter Palace, Liu Bai finally felt relieved and let Nashida out from under his clothes.
"Phew, I'm suffocating."
Nashida exhaled and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.
Hiding under the coat is equivalent to being close to Liu Bai all the time, so she still feels a little embarrassed.
"Come on, girl, let's go to the Northland Bank to ask Brother Fu for money!"
After releasing Nashida, Liu Bai took one of her hands and said.
Nashida nodded and followed Liu Bai all the way to the headquarters of Northland Bank in the city center.
Liu Bai is considered a frequent visitor here and entered Pantalone's office without an appointment.
"Isn't this Mr. Lerch? I missed you so much after not seeing you for so long. Come in and have a seat."
"Huh? Who is this?"
Pantalone greeted Liu Bai with a smile as usual, but was a little confused when he saw Nashida beside him.
"Oh, this is my girl. Come here, girl. This is the richest man in all of Zhidong."
Liu Bai took Nashida to sit down and explained to Pantalone, then introduced her to Nashida.
"Hello, Mr. Pantalone."
Nashida sat obediently beside Liu Bai and raised her hand to greet the man with glasses who looked somewhat gentle.
"Well, hello, little sister."
Pantalone seemed to have never read the information about the Little Lucky Grass King, so he did not recognize Nashida and just greeted her as an ordinary girl.
Then Pantalone sat down at his desk.
"Lerchi, you came just in time. The Shenyu Xian Tea that I asked someone to buy from Liyue has just arrived today. If you are interested, you can take a few kilograms to try... But I don't know if you know how to make tea?"
Pantalone said as he took out a bag of Liyue packaged tea from the side and asked Liu Bai.
"Thank you, Brother Fu. I still know a little bit about making tea."
Liu Bai took the bag of tea from Pantalone without saying a word, and he didn't even react.
"Well, seeing that you are so confident, I wonder if I could have the honor of tasting the tea you brewed, Lerch?"
It was just some tea leaves, Pantalone naturally wouldn't care. In comparison, he was somewhat interested in Liu Bai's tea-making skills.
There were very few people in Liyue during the winter, so few that Pantalone rarely talked about his hometown with others, and Liu Bai was one of them.
"I know a little bit, brother Fu, just watch and see."
Liu Bai stood up and took off his coat and gave it to Nashida for safekeeping.
Seeing this, Pantalone gave his seat and tea set to Liu Bai, and watched Liu Bai's tea-making skills with some interest.
Nashida also leaned over the table and watched curiously. Although she had seen Liu Bai drink tea, she had never seen him make tea.
Under the gaze of the two, Liu Bai rinsed the teacup skillfully...
It’s a pity that the act of making tea does not seem to be considered as cooking, and therefore failed to trigger his “god-level cooking skills”.
But Liu Bai was not discouraged. Even if he didn't have god-level cooking skills, the tea he made wouldn't be too bad.
Pantalone, who was standing by, looked at Liu Bai's clumsy techniques and his hands being scalded by boiling water from time to time, and couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head.
Soon, Liu Bai made three cups of tea.
Although his technique was not very good, the fairy tea from Chenyu Valley still exuded a rich tea aroma.
"..."
Liu Bai touched his chin, feeling that he hadn't soaked it well enough.
So he thought about it for a while...
"Brother Fu, please have some tea."
Liu Bai thought of something and immediately picked up the teacup and handed it to Pantalone.
Pantalone wanted to say something, but for some unknown reason he took the teacup from Liu Bai's hand.
After taking a sip, Pantalone's eyes lit up slightly, but he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.
“Good tea!”
"It's just... why does it feel better than the Shenyu Xian Tea I usually buy? Even if my skills are good, it can't be improved to this level, right?"
Pantalone exclaimed subconsciously, but soon came to his senses and became confused again.
"Humph."
Liu Bai didn't explain, he just crossed his arms and looked a little proud.
He had just secretly activated the [Law of True Fragrance] skill. The result of this skill was that the other party would definitely taste the food he gave and give it a delicious review.
In addition to forcing people who refuse to eat to eat, it can also be used to target those who already like to eat, so that they can definitely give a sincere evaluation of the deliciousness.
That's why Pantalone felt that the tea in his hand tasted better.
And since he already loved drinking this kind of tea, the additional effects of the skill had no effect on him. At most, he would feel that the tea would be more delicious if Liu Bai was the one making it.
Nashida also picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
The taste is no different from regular tea...
Pantalone couldn't figure it out, so he just thought that this batch of tea was of better quality, and then he sat back in his seat.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what Lerch is here for."
Sitting back in his seat, Pantalone then asked Liu Bai.
"Oh, Her Majesty the Queen asked me to come to you to collect 5 billion Mora."
Liu Bai sat back next to Nashida, holding a teacup in his hand, and looked at Pantalone eagerly after he finished speaking.
"Ahem... five billion Mora? The Queen didn't even notify me. What's going on?"
After taking another sip of tea, Pantalone quickly put down the cup in his hand and asked Liu Bai.
Since Liu Bai went straight to the Northland Bank after leaving the Winter Palace, the Ice Queen's order had not yet been issued.
