Explorer of Teyvat

After all, Ying embarked on a new journey.

Taking Paimon with him, he boarded Beidou's Death Omen and followed the Southern Cross fleet to Inazuma.

Likewise, she also brought the two items Wang Daoyi gave her.

The pale golden secret chain crystal condensed by Zhongli and the thirty-six-sided prismatic crystal containing the consciousness of Wangdao Yi.

Feeling the crystallization of consciousness quickly moving away from him, Wang Daoyi had a look of satisfaction on his face.

Even if his little plan has begun, it's time for him to go to Sumeru when his special martial arts is completed.

······

November 2nd is Xiangling’s birthday.

Wanmin Hall was rarely open on this day, so the friends gathered here to prepare Xiang Ling's birthday dinner in the evening.

"Boiled fish, boiled fish, boiled fish is a must at dinner."

Hall Master Hu shouted happily. Although Sister Lan still did not agree to cooperate with the Gossip Hall, she did not resist. Many adventurers signed separate agreements with the Gossip Hall, so Hall Master Hu was very happy recently.

The chef tonight is Wang Daoyi, and he is asking everyone to provide the dishes that need to be prepared for the evening.

"Although there is no need to specifically consider Xiang Ling's hobbies, it is too straightforward for you, Hall Master Hu, to say that you like boiled fish as soon as you open your mouth."

Xingqiu held a volume of books in his hand and complained about Hu Tao.

Hu Taopu flashed her plum blossom eyes and raised her chin arrogantly: "Huh, what do you know? Xiangling likes to eat hot, spicy and fragrant food most, and boiled fish definitely fits the bill."

As someone who comes to scare Xiangling every now and then, Hutao knows Xiangling's taste very well.

Just as she said, Xiangling nodded in agreement: "The boiled fish is indeed very delicious, and I never tire of eating it."

In fact, Xiangling likes all kinds of food.

Seeing that Xiang Ling agreed with her statement, Hu Tao opened her hands and hugged Xiang Ling: "Hey, Xiang Ling Tie Tie."

"Ah, Guo Ba, save me!" Xiang Ling exclaimed, and then Hu Tao hugged her.

Guoba was rolling on the side, and when he heard the shouting, he turned around to look at the cheerful people, and smiled happily: "Lulie~ヾ(≧▽≦*)o"

Write down the name of the boiled fish on the recipe and look at the others.

Xingqiu held the book: "Since Hall Master Hu has started, everyone can follow their own preferences."

Then he looked at Wang Daoyi: "I want a pastry, and then some seafood with moong vegetables, it's lighter."

Wang Dao nodded and wrote it down.

Someone set an example, and other friends also spoke up.

Chongyun: "Cold noodles, super big bowl, preferably ice cream."

"Okay, I've written it down."

Yan Fei: "I want to eat tofu, any kind of tofu is fine."

"Then almond tofu and spicy tofu, and I'll add minced meat tofu for you."

Although there is no tofu in almond tofu

Xin Yan: "Then let me have some meat dishes with heavy oil."

"Okay, I'll prepare a piece of braised pork for you. The soup is so delicious. I'll also give you a piece of stir-fried pork slices with Jueyun pepper, which will definitely go with your meal."

Yaoyao: "Yaoyao also wants to eat seafood, but not Jueyun giant octopus."

"Okay, prepare a big lobster for Yaoyao to eat."

Keqing: "Then I want the golden shrimp balls."

"Okay, I know you like this, I've already written it down."

Yun Jin: "Well, Tianshu pork, boiled black back seabass, and dry-pot bacon, you can't eat these normally, so I'll take the opportunity to try them today."

"Okay, leave it to me, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Wang Daoyi wrote down the dishes his friend wanted to eat, then added a few home-cooked dishes that Xiang Ling usually liked, and handed the notebook to Master Mao on the side.

Today Wang Daoyi is the chef, Master Mao is the assistant, and Xiang Ling entertains friends.

Master Mao took the menu with a smile, took a look at it, and then said to Wang Daoyi: "Leave the ingredients to me and I will have them delivered in a moment."

Wang Dao nodded, then looked at Xiang Ling: "My uncle and I are going to prepare. You can entertain everyone."

In fact, without Wang Daoyi's instructions, Hutao on the side had already started to pull people to start the card game.

She, Hall Master Hu, has been practicing her poker skills for a long time outside, and she is finally going to show off her power.

So, Hutao, Xiangling, Yunjin, and Xinyan started playing cards.

Yan Fei and Chong Yun chatted about the fairy tales, while Yaoyao and Guo Ba listened with light in their eyes. These two babies loved these fairy tales.

And Xingqiu held the scroll and read it carefully. This was another novel that he had been looking for for a long time. He had been reading it for the past two days and could not let go of the scroll.

Only Keqing, in order to come to the banquet today, she worked overtime yesterday and finished all the work today. Now she is a little sleepy and resting alone.

After a while, someone knocked on the door of Wanmin Hall.

Chongyun moved quickly, opened the door, and saw a postman standing at the door.

"Hello, this is an email from Wanmintang."

The postman handed Chongyun a piece of mail and a small package.

Chongyun took the package and mail and looked at it. The sending address was Mondstadt's.

After watching the postman leave, Chongyun returned to the house with the mail and package.

Everyone looked at Chongyun: "Chongyun, who is it?"

He raised the mail and package in his hand to signal to everyone, and then handed it to Xiang Ling: "It's mail."

Xiangling took the things and looked at them. The email clearly stated that it was required to be delivered to Wanmin Hall on November 2.

He showed a look of surprise: "The email from Mondstadt may be from a friend I met when Brother Dao Yi and I were traveling in Mondstadt."

Under everyone's expectant eyes, Xiang Ling opened the mail, which contained several pieces of letter paper.

——

Xiangling personally declares:

Xiangling, I am Diona. I remember that your birthday is coming soon, so I prepared a gift for you and put it in the package. It smells good and you will definitely like it.

Also, when will you come to Mondstadt again? I really want to eat your cooking. Dad also said that the cooperation with Wanmintang has made the meat products in Qingquan Town popular. Everyone is very grateful to you. Originally, they wanted to I sent you a lot of meat products, but unfortunately, they definitely couldn’t fit in the package, so I refused.

In addition, I still haven't made a bad drink, including the recipes you taught me, and I still can't make Dad stop drinking. It's really abominable.

Oh, I still have a lot to say to you. When you come to Mondstadt again, I will make you the most delicious drink.

Finally, I wish you a happy birthday.

Your friend: Diona

Xiangling personally declares:

Xiangling, this is Qin. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I wonder if you and Mr. Wang Daoyi are okay. I heard from the bartender at Mao Tail Tavern that your birthday is coming, so everyone in the Knights has also prepared a little treat for you. Thoughts, small meaningful things, were given to the little bartender.

I wrote a letter of thanks to Tianquan Ningguang in Liyue before, thanking you and His Excellency Wang Daoyi for your help. I wonder if she has expressed gratitude on my behalf.

In addition, Mr. Dulav of Qingquan Town asked the Knights to express his gratitude to Manmin Hall for promoting Qingquan Town meat products.

I still have work to do, so I won’t write much.

Finally, I wish you a happy birthday.

Acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind: Qin

Xiangling personally declares:

Happy birthday. I entrusted people from the caravan to send some rare fruit wine to Wanmintang. I hope you will like it.

Mond Winery: Diluc

October 25

——

Xiang Ling looked at these three letters with emotion in her eyes. During her short trip to Mondstadt, she met the kitten bartender and participated in the crusade against the Wind Demon Dragon with Wang Daoyi.

Although she felt that everyone in Mondstadt was all friends, she was very touched that the other party could actually remember her birthday and even prepared an email in advance for someone to send it to her on her birthday.

Several other friends looked at Xiang Ling's moved expression. Although they did not read what was written in the letter, they could guess that it was those Mondstadt friends who moved Xiang Ling.

"It seems that you and Daoyi made very good friends while traveling in Mondstadt." Yun Jin said.

Xiangling nodded: "Yes, I didn't expect them to remember my birthday. I'm very touched."

Guo Ba, on the other hand, stretched out his short hand to reach for the package on the table.

"Pah." She slapped Guo Ba's little hand away and Xiang Ling picked up the package, "Guo Ba, you are not allowed to open it now. You can only open the gift at night."

Guo Ba touched his hands in frustration, and he just smelled a strange fragrance in the package.

After solemnly collecting the letters and placing the gift packages out of reach of the pot, everyone continued to play and the atmosphere returned to its original happy state.

Time passed, and with the help of Master Mao, Wang Daoyi first completed the most important popsicles and prepared various juice drinks for ice.

Then one dish after another was cooked, and the aroma coming from the kitchen quickly attracted everyone's interest in playing no more.

Everyone crowded to the kitchen door to watch Wang Daoyi cooking.

"Xiang Ling, has Daoyi always been so good at cooking?" Ke Qing asked as she watched Wang Dao and his team finish each delicacy smoothly.

In her eyes, Wang Daoyi was a man with powerful martial arts, but she didn't expect that there was such a life-filled side as cooking.

Xiangling nodded proudly: "Brother Dao Yi is also good at cooking, but I usually cook, so no one has seen him before."

"I've seen him fight against the demon's afterimage, and then look at the cook. I can't imagine that this could be the same person."

Keqing sighed a little.

Xiangling's little face became more and more happy and proud.

Wang Dao looked at his friends blocking the kitchen door and felt helpless: "Don't look at it. Since you're hungry, help bring the dishes out. We'll finish the meal in a while."

After hearing Wang Daoyi's words, everyone cheered, rushed into the kitchen, and picked up plates of delicious food.

"Xiang Ling, watch the rice cooker carefully and don't let him eat it secretly." Wang Dao had a good look and immediately spotted the rice cooker with his little hand stretched out.

Xiangling also saw it, hugged Guoba and carried him out of the kitchen: "Guoba, you are not good today."

"Luh?"

·········

In the evening, Master Mao excused himself to go out to meet friends and give the children some space.

The friends sat around the table and wished Xiangling a happy birthday.

Everyone was very happy looking at the delicious food on the table, but there was still a small step before eating.

"Now, it should be time to give birthday gifts. Who comes first?" Xin Yan said with a smile, and then looked around to see who would give gifts first.

However, before anyone came out, Xiang Ling said first: "How about we see what Mond's friend gave us first. I see Guo Ba has been staring at that package."

"Mont?" Wang Dao asked. He had been busy in the kitchen and didn't know about the email.

"Yes, Diona, Captain Qin, and Mr. Diluc all sent me birthday wishes letters." Xiangling looked happy, then took a package from the cabinet, "There is also another The gift package is a gift from everyone in Mondstadt.”

Wang Dao nodded. This time, Qin and the others were interested.

Xiangling opened the package carefully.

Two badges, a book, a bottle of liquid, and... two pieces of paper

Xiang Ling picked up one of the papers and said, "It's a gift introduction."

"Everyone in the Knights discussed the badge of honor and sent it out. Brother Dao Yi, it's your share. Two badges, one for each of us."

"There is also a collection of recipes prepared by Captain Qin and Miss Lisa. They are all recipes that were not collected last time and were found in Mondstadt's ancient books. Wow, I am so happy."

"Diona gave me a bottle of special cat perfume. It not only smells good, but will also attract the favor of many small animals. It's great!"

Xiangling cheered and revealed the identities of the three gifts, attracting everyone's curiosity. Everyone looked at the last piece of paper.

"The last gift is the drink list from Mr. Diluc!?"

Xiangling was stunned, and so were everyone.

The last piece of paper was actually a list.

Wang Daoyi took the list, looked at the names and quantities of drinks listed on it, and calculated slightly, he found that there were about half a million molara worth of drinks.

"Oh, Mr. Diluc is really generous. He didn't sell any wine to us at first, but now he has given me enough wine to drink for Xiangling and me for a year." Wang Daoyi said with emotion.

Then everyone looked at the list and sighed that this Mr. Diluc was really rich.

After seeing the gifts from Mondstadt's friends, Xingqiu was the first to stand up: "Happy birthday to Xiangling, this is the gift I prepared."

Xingqiu took out an ancient book from his sleeve and said, "This is the travel notes of a great chef in ancient times. I hope you will like it."

Xiang Ling was very surprised and took over the ancient book. If it was an ordinary travel journal, she might not be interested, but Xingqiu was very interested in finding a travel journal by a chef, which made Xiang Ling like it very much.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Then came Chongyun, who took out a talisman from the cuff of his right hand: "I don't know how to choose a gift. My elders in the family helped me prepare this. It is an evil-repelling talisman. If you fold it and put it on your body, it can expel evil, avoid disasters, and protect your health."

Wang Dao nodded: "The Immortal family's talisman is very precious."

Xiangling took the talisman and said, "Thank you Chongyun. Thank you seniors for me."

After Chongyun sat down, Keqing stood up and said, "This is a collection of recipes that I have reorganized from my grandfather's collection. No one at home is studying it now, so it's just a birthday gift. I hope you can reproduce these recipes."

"Thank you, I like it very much. Please come and taste it when I reproduce it."

Keqing sat down, followed by Yun Jin and Xin Yan.

"We worked together to sew a piece of clothing for you. I hope you like it!" The two handed a pile of clothes to Xiang Ling, then sat down with a smile.

Wang Daoyi narrowed his eyes and felt something in his heart: "This dress looks like a phoenix crown and harem!"

Xiang Ling obviously recognized it, blushed, glanced at Wang Daoyi secretly, and then quickly put away the clothes: "Thank you, when I wear it, I will definitely invite you to come and see it!"

Everyone else also smiled and looked at Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling. Only Yaoyao and Guoba were confused.

Everyone laughed for a while, then Yan Fei and Yaoyao came.

"We have prepared an old stone ornament for you. Yaoyao personally found the stone on the mountain side of the layered rock abyss, and then we polished it together."

Yan Fei took out an ornament, which was carved in the shape of a naive rice cooker.

"It is indeed rare to see old stones of such quality, and it is very interesting to carve them into pots." Wang Daoyi sighed, and Ke Qing on the side also nodded,

Except for the two of them, although other partners may also know about things like Lao Shi, they can't distinguish between good and bad.

Xiangling hugged Yaoyao movedly, and held her close to her in the eyes of little Loli's resistance.

In the end, only Wang Daoyi and Hu Tao didn't give gifts, and everyone looked at them expectantly.

Hu Tao Meihua blinked: "Don't look at me, my gift has already been given to Dao Yi."

So everyone looked at Wang Daoyi.

"Hu Tao's gift is indeed placed with mine, but it was prepared by Guest Qing Zhongli, not Hall Master Hu."

Hutao bared her teeth: "Hmph, if you and Zhongli hadn't said my gift was not good, how could I have let Zhongli prepare it."

Wang Daoyi twitched the corners of his mouth. You were going to give Xiang Ling a free meal at the Rebirth Hall. If Zhongli didn't stop you, you would have made a fool of yourself today.

"Haha, I'd better go and get the gift first." As he said that, ignoring Hall Master Hu's bared teeth, Wang Dao walked to a corner and took out a two-meter-long dragon-shaped box while everyone was watching.

Xingqiu couldn't help but complain: "How did you manage to put such a long thing in the corner?"

"Oh, you don't understand technology."

With that said, Wang Daoyi handed the box to Xiang Ling: "Happy birthday, this is a gift, let's see if you like it."

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Xiangling also looked at the box curiously and opened it gently.

A coiling dragon spear filled with sharp aura.

"Xia Li Mie Chen?" Ke Qing was the first to react, but it was normal because another weapon in the Xia Li series, Xia Li Dragon Roar, was in Ke Qing's hand.

"Legendary weapon!" Everyone also reacted.

Xiangling looked at the spear in surprise, she liked it very much.

"The Miechen in this gun box is my gift to you. I hope you like it. In addition, the gun oil in the gun box was prepared by Zhongli Keqing for Hall Master Hu. The special gun oil is equally precious."

Wang Daoyi introduced.

Xiang Ling's eyes were hazy: "Thank you, I like it very much."

With a snap sound, Xiang Ling placed a lip mark on Wang Daoyi's cheek.

"Oh oh oh!!!" Everyone started to cheer.

Although the relationship between the two has not been a secret for a long time, this is the first time such a direct and intimate contact has appeared in front of everyone.

Steam came out of Xiangling's head and she buried her little face in Wang Daoyi's arms.

It took a long time to get out.

However, there was a small hand holding his hand and unwilling to let go.

Under the teasing eyes of his friends, Wang Dao's expression remained unchanged, and he stretched out his other hand: "Let's eat."

"Great!!!!"
