"Ying, can we meet at Angel's Gift tomorrow?" Dain said bluntly.
Feeling the surprised looks from everyone, Dai Yin thought about what he said. No problem, it's just an ordinary invitation. It seems that they are the ones with the problem.
Reaching out to cover Paimeng's shining eyes, Ying yawned and said, "Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to come."
Dai Yin frowned, as if he didn't expect Ying to reject his request so decisively.
Looking around, there are too many people and it’s not suitable for talking.
[Nothing.] Dai Yin's voice echoed from the bottom of Ying's heart, making her feel refreshed again.
"Ah! My eyes!"
Ying was so excited that she forgot she was still covering Paimon's eyes.
Chapter 341 Sweating Dine
2023-12-08
The weather in Mondstadt is almost always good after the dragon disaster. The bright sunshine and the breeze everywhere always make people feel infinitely comfortable.
In such a good time, of course you have to go to Mondstadt's best tavern to have a good drink.
So after the dragon disaster ended, the business of Angel's Gift became as prosperous as before, and its sales volume far surpassed that of the second-ranked Cat's Tail Tavern.
"Charles! Another large cup of stuffed apples and three servings of sweet flower stuffed chicken!"
In the Angel's Gift, Paimon, with a bandage on his head, raised his little hand and called loudly to the bartender Charles.
"Come here, come here!" Before Paimon's voice had long fallen, Charles ran over with a tray of food.
He looked at the stacked plates and empty wine glasses beside Paimon, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
How could this little girl named Paimon eat so much? Could it be that her stomach is a bottomless pit?
Putting down the plate, Charles looked at Paimon who immediately started to "fight", and helplessly held his forehead and said: "This is a tavern, not a restaurant. How about you guys go to the Deer Hunter Restaurant for dinner next time?"
"It's...it's my fault..." Paimon puffed his cheeks and responded incoherently.
It looked like she didn't take Charles' words to heart at all.
Seeing Paimon like this, Charles could only let her do what she wanted. As a bartender for so many years, what kind of scenes has he not seen? He just treated Angel's Gift as a restaurant, a small scene, a small scene.
Charles left with the tray, but Ying came closer. She looked at Paimon's eyes covered by the bandages, and now Paimon was Dainsleb No. 2.
"Paimon, are you feeling better?" Ying touched the place where Paimon was bandaged and asked embarrassedly.
She was so excited when she heard the news about her brother last night that she forgot for a moment that her hands were still covering Paimon's eyes.
So the pinch last night almost turned Paimon into a one-eyed dragon like Dain and Kaeya.
Fortunately, after Yu Jin's diagnosis, Paimon's eyes were fine. Now they were bandaged, but Ying was just worried.
"Hmph!" Paimon turned his head away with a cold look.
But this aloofness did not last long and Paimeng gave it up - her aloof attitude prevented her from enjoying the delicious meal on the table.
For Paimon, eating is the most important thing.
So she decisively gave up her cool attitude and started to eat heartily.
"Since you treated me to such delicious food, I will reluctantly forgive you!"
Paimon ate all the Mond delicacies on the plate in a hurry, then burped and said.
As he spoke, Paimon landed on the chair from the air.
[So this is what it feels like to be so full that you can't walk anymore.] Paimon squinted his eyes, feeling very comfortable.
Paimeng suddenly felt that the small damage she suffered last night was really worth it. If she could get such a feast every time, she hoped that Ying would make more mistakes in the future.
"Ahem! Can we talk now?" Dain, who had been sitting in silence for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.
He pushed the plate in front of him away, only to find that Paimon's eating manners were so ugly that some oil stains had fallen onto the table.
"Here, toilet paper." A pair of black hands holding a stack of clean white tissues reached out to him. It was so obvious that it was impossible for Dain to ignore it.
"Why are you here?" Dai Yin took the tissue, wiped the oil stains on the table, and asked with a tense expression.
"Why can't I come here?" Yu Jin asked. Then he changed his tone and said, "If you think I'm an eyesore, this is ok, right?"
The light twisted and the embers performed a magical trick in front of everyone.
"Wuhu, this is much better than Jose and Wendy's performance!"
"The Great Adventurer is different!"
"Who is that person next to Mr. Ember? Why haven't I seen him before?"
……
Yu Jin did not hide his feelings. He used the technique of turning invisible in front of everyone, causing cheers from the surrounding customers.
"boom!"
Dai Yin didn't care whether the oil stains on the table were wiped clean or not. He leaned his elbows on the table, looking like he had lost all hope in life.
He should have thought of it earlier, as soon as Paimon came in with a bandage on his head - today's conversation was destined to go through countless storms.
"Hu——" Dai Yin took a few deep breaths and calmed his heart which had not been restless for a long time.
Isn't it just discussing taboo information in front of everyone? He is familiar with this. As a riddle teller, he Dain said he was second, and I believe no one dared to claim to be first.
"Want to know about your brother?" Dai Yin looked at Ying in front of him, his tone calm.
It was as if he had not lost his composure at all.
"Do you know where my brother is?" Ying stared at Dai Yin, and unknowingly, she began to exert force again.
But this time, what was pinched was not Paimon's eyes, but a thick table top.
"Ying..." Paimon had already taken off the bandage on his head. It felt stuffy to keep it on.
“Three questions, and I’ll tell you information about your brother’s whereabouts.” Dyne stretched out his hand and made a “three” gesture.
"You talk." Ying nodded at Paimeng who looked worried, indicating that she was fine.
“There is no right or wrong answer to these questions. Their answers are just a reflection of your attitude towards certain things.”
Dain looked at Ying meaningfully, and then asked the first question.
"First question, the dragon plague in Mondstadt was solved by you and the wind god who called himself Wendy. Who do you think is the key to solving the dragon plague?"
Dain's first question surprised Ying. The news that Wendy was the God of Wind should only be known by her, Yu Jin and a few other people. How did Dain know it?
"Don't think too much, you just need to answer the questions." Dai Yin seemed to have guessed what Ying was thinking, and he urged her directly.
"Yes..." Ying thought for a moment, then replied, "It's Lance Shanks, and Ember."
"???"
Dain's eyes revealed a hint of confusion. He hardly talked to anyone, but he guessed the general process of resolving the dragon plague from the disappearance of the dragon plague in Mondstadt and the time when Ying was awarded the honorary knighthood.
"It's just a small problem, not worth mentioning." Yu Jin's figure appeared next to Dain. He waved his hand with a smug look on his face.
"Just listen to me. If you say anything, I won't say anything." Dain's threat sounded like a child, but there was nothing he could do about it.
If it were anyone else, Dain would have countless ways to make them ignore him, but with Ember, he was a little at a loss.
"Oh, okay, you say." The threat was effective, and the ember turned into a ball of transparent air again.
"Skip this question, now the second one."
Dain paused for a moment, then asked, "The Rock King, who has protected Liyue for a thousand years, has now retired. Who do you think will protect Liyue without its god?"
Ying now felt that Dain really knew too much. The Rock God was not dead but retired, and this was information known to only a few people.
As she had expected this, Ying was not shocked. Ying sat up straight and answered directly:
"Rota."
"???"
Dai Yin thought about it for a long time before he remembered that there was an ancient dragon in Liyue named "Ruota".
But wasn't this guy sealed by the Rock God? How did he get released?
Dain turned his gaze in the direction of the embers, and soon, several charred burn marks appeared on the table.
"Medium problem, easy."
"..."
"Skip this question too, and move on to the third question."
Dai Yin rarely wiped his forehead. Why did he feel so sweaty?
"Which do you think is more important to God, having the Eye of God or not having the Eye of God?"
Ying pondered over this question for a long time, but she couldn't come up with an answer, so she turned her gaze to the embers again.
Seeing that he was going to be involved with the embers again, Dyne was sweating profusely instead of feeling it.
There's no way to talk about this!

"Maybe... neither of them is important?" Ying withdrew her gaze, her tone full of uncertainty.
"I thought you would be involved with the embers again." Dain breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to carry on the conversation smoothly.
"Actually, I was planning to ask what Senior thought. But then I thought, since you're asking me, I should give my own answer instead of asking others."
Ying scratched her cheek and said a little embarrassedly. She has been slacking off recently. Whenever there is a problem, she thinks that Yu Jin is here and she doesn't need to worry.
If he continued like this, he would become a useless person like Paimon who only knew how to eat. Ying glanced at Paimon who was flying around boredly, and secretly warned himself that he must not become like this.
"I always feel like you are thinking about something rude." Paimon was very sensitive to line of sight. After noticing Ying's gaze, she began to question him.
"No, you're just overthinking it." Ying said a few perfunctory words to Paimeng without changing his expression. The latter was relieved. Paimeng never remembered a grudge for more than three seconds.
"Okay, it looks like she is indeed his sister. The answers you two gave are very similar."
