Chapter 355: About Yaksha’s Taste (Part )
——Teyvat
Liyue, Wangshu Inn.
According to Chongyun's information, the Kitchen God once appeared in Guiliji, and everyone originally planned to go directly to Guiliji to look for clues.
But after calculating the distance, Keqing found that the sky had darkened halfway, so she had to change course to Wangshu Inn.
But it doesn’t matter, Wangshu Inn is also a building with a long history, and it contains a considerable number of ancient books.
Moreover, even if no clues are found in Wangshu Inn, Guiliji is not far away, and you can then look for clues there.
Everyone came to Wangshu Inn.
After Jun Bai arrived at Wangshu Inn, he found a familiar smell on the balcony, so he left the crowd and went to the balcony.
Oh, who did I find?
A Xiao bird that doesn't eat properly and is stealing almond tofu~
Jun Bai approached Xiao silently from behind.
Xiao, who was eating almond tofu, was unaware of the approaching danger.
By the time Xiao reacted, Jun Bai's hand had already landed on the exposed shoulder:
"Xiao, you don't want to eat well again?"
Xiao's body suddenly stiffened, then he turned his head little by little, facing Jun Bai's amiable smile, and said reluctantly:
"Marshal, I, I had a good meal. This, this is the dessert."
"Whether you eat well or not is not up to you."
Jun Bai grabbed Xiao by the collar and dragged him downstairs: "Do you eat seriously, or do you eat almond tofu at different times every day?"
"Come with me, I'll ask Yan Xiao and you'll know."
Wangshu Inn, kitchen.
Traveler Ying once again activated her skill: Connections, and brought everyone to Yan Xiao.
"Yan Xiao."
Ying turned her back to everyone and greeted them with a smile.
Yan Xiao turned around and said, "Huh? Isn't this Ying? Did you receive another commission to help the shopkeeper repair the stairs?"
“Oh, these people behind you, are they your friends?”
"Hello, welcome to Wangshu Inn. I am the chef here, Yan Xiao."
【Master Yanxiao, you are so direct. 】
[It’s so true. Normally, I won’t come to Wangshu Inn unless I receive a commission…]
"Yanxiao, these are our friends Yiya, Xiangling, Guoba, and Keqing." Paimeng introduced his friends to Yanxiao.
"It's nice to meet you all."
Yan Xiao nodded, and then suddenly realized something was wrong:
“Wait, Keqing? The one among the Seven Stars of Liyue…”
The famous Yuheng Star of the Liyue Seven Stars suddenly appeared here, and Yan Xiao was very panicked now.
After all, Yan Xiao was a notorious thief before he became the chef, but he has retired now.
But retiring from the underworld doesn't mean that the wanted order for Yan Xiao has been revoked. He is still on the Qianyan Army's wanted list.
Keqing's deterrent effect on criminals in Liyue Harbor is just like the deterrent effect that the Yaksha clan has on criminals in Guiliji.
He leads the Thousand Rocks Army to deal with criminals every day. He is one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, who has great reputation and power. Naturally, his deterrent power is great.
If you are arrested and sentenced by Keqing, there is no possibility of begging for mercy, unless your superior is a god.
"Don't be nervous, Yan Xiao."
Ying saw what Yanxiao was thinking and signaled him not to panic.
If you panic, won't you be exposed?
"Hello." Keqing acted very friendly.
[Keqing's wife's smile is so sweet! ]
[Keqing just didn't know that Yan Xiao had retired from the underworld, otherwise she wouldn't be smiling so sweetly right now.]
[She is sweet when she smiles, cold and ruthless when she is fierce, and also cute and fierce. She is worthy of being my wife~]
Looking at Keqing's friendly attitude, Yan Xiao knew that there was a high probability that his crime had not been exposed, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After finishing, he also made up for it:
"It's the first time for a commoner like me to meet a big shot like Yuhengxing, so I can't help but feel a little nervous for a while."
"If I am not polite, please forgive me, Master Yuheng."
Xiangling said nothing, but just watched Yan Xiao from the side.
Her evaluation is:
A healthy body, strong wrists, and simple eyes... he must be a good cook!
Xiangling's eyes were filled with a burning desire to fight again.
And this evaluation was seen by players in the parallel world.
[Good cook...seems to be okay...]
[Looking at Yan Xiao's burly appearance, who would have thought that he was trained as a thief...]
[Thief, thief, please respect my original profession. I am a notorious thief! ]
After exchanging pleasantries, Keqing got straight to the point again and asked about clues related to the Kitchen God:
"Excuse me, does this inn have a library? Is there anything about the Kitchen God in it?"
"Yes, yes."
Yan Xiao nodded repeatedly: "There are indeed a lot of old books in the library. I was looking for recipes in it some time ago."
After that, in order to send Keqing away as quickly as possible, Yan Xiao rushed into the library to search, and soon found an ancient book.
Unfortunately, there are no useful clues recorded in ancient books.
Either it has been disproven or it has been confirmed, and it has nothing to do with the information Keqing wants to investigate.
In the end, Keqing decided to continue looking for relevant clues in the library and refused help from others.
Because the library is narrow, it can only accommodate one person.
Ying and others suddenly became idle.
"It's getting late, you might as well go and rest first. I'll go and rest after I finish reading the books about the Kitchen God."
After leaving these words, Keqing plunged headfirst into the library.
"Keqing is so motivated. I feel a little embarrassed."
Paimon said this, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "Ying, come to think of it, the Five Yakshas seem to appear here often."
[Oh? Is my Xiao the next one to appear? ]
[Fanan-chan~If I don’t see Fanan-chan again, my karma will start to riot~]
[Yingda, my passionate fire-type Yaksha! ]
"You seem to be thinking of breaking some rules."
Putting the previous and the next together, Ying thought that Paimon wanted to ask the five Yakshas about the Kitchen God.
He said he had to find the answer himself, but whether he asked Jun Bai directly or sought help from outside the field, it would be cheating.
"Huh? Breaking the rules?"
"Were we not conducting a public opinion poll from the beginning? How is this against the rules?"
Paimon was a little confused:
"We have collected information about the tastes of the people in Liyue Harbor and Qingce Village, but we haven't recorded anything about the tastes of the immortals yet."
"Now is a rare opportunity. Shouldn't we let Xiangling collect the flavors of the immortals in Liyue Harbor?"
Paimon suddenly reacted: "Heh, you didn't think I was going to ask the Five Yakshas directly about the Kitchen God, did you?"
"That's a direct violation of the rules of the game."
"Moreover, the guardian Yaksha directly obeys Jun Bai. If Jun Bai doesn't say anything, even if we ask Fushe and others, they will most likely keep silent at Jun Bai's signal."
"It's pointless to ask. It's better to help Xiangling prepare for the competition."
