Chapter 338: The Journey to Potbamond
"Some people over there, I have to remind you that the drinks tonight are free only for members of the Knights. People who are not members of the Knights have to pay for the drinks."
After Liu Bai calmed down, Nashida withdrew her hand and wiped the saliva off it, then turned to talk to the person who had tricked Liu Bai into drinking.
“Eh? Really? How could this be…!”
After hearing what Nashida said, Wendy, who had just realized this, let out a cry of pain.
He just ordered the most expensive wine...
Although it is worth it, what if you can't afford it and are banned from entering in the future?
Watching this scene, Diluk picked up the toothpick with fruit on it and tasted the fruit in the fruit bowl.
He knew that Wendy definitely couldn't afford the drinks, so he just decided not to charge for the drinks tonight.
But now, in order to prevent Wendy from ordering a lot of drinks at once after knowing it, he decided to wait until the next day to tell him.
Knowing she couldn't afford the drinks, Wendy decided to go all out and drank to numb herself in grief, so she ordered more wine.
Diluc: "..."
……
Bang bang bang——
Bang bang bang——!
That morning, Liu Bai and Nashida got up quite late due to some circumstances, and just when they came out of the small white house, the door was knocked loudly.
"Who is it? Stop knocking on my door!"
Liu Bai walked over and opened the door unhappily.
As soon as the door opened, I found a familiar little girl standing outside.
"Good morning~"
"Oh no, that's not good, Xiangling is missing!"
The girl named Guoba greeted Liu Bai and Nashida, and then spoke anxiously.
"Why are you in Mond? Did Xiangling disappear in Mond?"
Nashida recognized Guoba and couldn't help asking.
"Well... Xiangling wanted to find new ingredients. I accompanied her all the way from Shimen. We stayed at a hotel in Mond last night. When I woke up today, I found that she was nowhere to be found."
Guoba explained to Liu Bai and Nashida why she appeared in Mondstadt and when Xiangling disappeared.
She searched the city for a while, and because she smelled a familiar smell, she ran here to ask Liu Bai and Nashida for help.
"Disappeared this morning? Don't worry, think about what happened then?"
Nashida asked after thinking for a moment.
"Um... I remember Xiangling kept calling my name, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't get up..."
"She wouldn't be kidnapped!"
Guoba tilted his head and thought for a while, then spoke anxiously after a while.
"Don't worry, being kidnapped is unlikely. I guess she didn't have the heart to wake you up, so she left on her own."
Nashida comforted the anxious Guoba.
"But the Mora Xiangling left for me is not enough to fill my stomach..."
Listening to Nashida's comfort, Guoba spoke aggrievedly.
"I see. Come on, we'll treat you to breakfast."
Nashida said helplessly to Guoba.
"Okay, thank you~"
Guoba became happy only then.
"...Oh, now I remember, it was your yellow instant noodles!"
Liu Bai said to Guoba, a passerby who brought Guoba to the Deer Hunter Restaurant, with sudden enlightenment.
"Instant noodles? Are they delicious with rice crust?"
Guoba asked curiously, putting one hand to his mouth.
"Uh... actually they are similar. They are both crunchy and fragrant when you bite them."
Liu Bai scratched his head and said.
"Then I'll ask Xiangling to cook for me next time..."
Guoba nodded.
Although she was transformed into a human form by Liu Bai using the "Heaven and Earth Beast" technique, her appetite remained the same and she liked to eat all kinds of delicious food.
At the same time, near the stone gate on the border of Mondstadt and Liyue, in the area near the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain, Ying, Paimon, and a girl named Xiangling are working together to fight a monster called the Frost Tree.
"Frozen tree~Frozen tree~Delicious frozen tree~"
……
Guoba didn't know where to find Xiangling, so he followed Liu Bai and the others for the whole day.
At noon, Guoba even performed a fire-breathing cooking show for the two of them.
She is as small as Nashida, and her cooking skills are no worse than Nashida's.
It was not until the evening that Xiangling came over, and Ying and Paimeng followed.
"Hey, it's Liu Bai and Nashida. Thank you for taking care of Guoba today~"
Xiangling recognized Liu Bai and Nashida, and greeted and thanked them.
"Hey, so this girl is Guoba? I thought... it would be a little pet or something?"
Paimon saw the girl with bear ears sitting next to Liu Bai and Nashida, and couldn't help but speak in surprise.
After all, judging from Xiangling's description, Guoba... doesn't look like a person. He's round and can spit fire or something...
"Hehe, Guoba was indeed very cute before, and he is still cute now..."
Xiangling scratched her head embarrassedly. When she mentioned her friends to Ying and Paimon, she subconsciously mentioned Guoba before he turned into a human form.
Just when Xiangling felt embarrassed, Guoba pouted his lips.
"Xiangling, why did you leave without caring about me and only leave me a little Mora?"
Guoba said to Xiangling dissatisfiedly.
"Huh? It's all your fault, Guoba. I called you for more than ten minutes this morning but you didn't wake up."
"Besides, the Immortal Ceremony is about to begin. We need to quickly find new ingredients and return to Liyue. I will have no choice but to go out and look for them myself."
Hearing what Guoba said, Xiangling put her hands on her hips and spoke to Guoba.
After hearing Xiangling's words, Guoba's momentum suddenly weakened a lot. He raised his hand and scratched his head embarrassedly, causing his round bear ears to tremble twice.
"Eh? Is the ceremony of inviting the immortals about to begin?!"
Before Guoba dared to reply, Paimeng's eyes widened.
Originally, they knew that this year's ceremony of inviting the immortals would be held at an early date, so they were not in a hurry to go to Liyue.
"It's almost here, less than a month left."
Xiangling nodded and explained.
Although she herself would not necessarily go to the Immortal Ceremony to join in the fun, many foreigners would go to Liyue during the ceremony and Wanmin Hall's business would be very brisk, so she had to go back to help.
Otherwise her father would be exhausted.
"I see. Looks like we have to leave for Liyue soon."
After getting Xiangling's confirmation, Ying nodded slightly.
According to Venti's explanation, the best chance to see the Geo God in Liyue is to hold a ceremony to perform the Immortal Ceremony. If you miss it, you will have to wait for a year.
"Yeah, let's set off in a few days. It will give us plenty of time to travel."
Paimon also agreed with Ying's decision.
"We can talk about other things later. I wonder if you have eaten yet. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
At this time, Nashida invited Ying, Xiangling and others.
"Okay, okay~"
Paimon and Guoba agreed immediately.
At this time, the pink-haired fox, which had been wild somewhere all day, came out and skillfully climbed onto Ying's head.
