The Homeless Man of Teyvat

"You want to try my new dish? Really?"

"Really, don't worry, we usually don't lie."

"Great! Please have a seat! The food will be here soon!"

Xiangling cheered and almost jumped back to the kitchen: "Come on, let's make a fire!"

Chen Tianfeng looked at the excited little cook in front of him, and was infected by this youth. He felt much younger, as if he was seventeen years old again.

Mr. Zhongli was right, they showed up at the perfect time - the little chef Xiangling was worrying about whom to find to try the dishes, so they took the initiative to come to the door.

At this time, Wanmin Hall was empty and there were no diners. The two of them chose a seat at random, got some tea, washed the tableware, poured a cup of tea each, and started waiting.

Chen Tianfeng glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then looked away and looked at Zhongli: "The one who was following Xiang Ling just now is the demon god of stoves in Liyue, Marcusius?"

[Demon God of the Stove] Maxius, born from the sparks thrown out by the collision of stones, is the earth god of Liyue and the demon god closest to humans in Liyue.

Thousands of years ago, in order to save Liyue, which was severely damaged by the demon war and became fragmented, Marcusius continuously poured his divine power into the land of Liyue to quell various disasters, but as a result, he lost most of his knowledge and memory, and his body The shape changed to less than a person's height, and he entered the hidden mountain forest of Liyue and fell into a long sleep.

Finally, one day, he was accidentally awakened by a little girl who had entered a cave in the mountains to take shelter from the rain, and they went together with her.

"It's Him, my old friend."

Zhongli's golden eyes were soft.

Although Marcus has now lost most of his memory and has turned into a small khaki bear, he still recognizes him and is very close to him. She also has some instinct left, and she never wants to get too close to Chen Tianfeng - and she also tries hard to prevent Xiang Ling from getting close to Chen Tianfeng.

Chen Tianfeng thought for a while and asked, "Are there many demon gods like him in Liyue?"

"not much."

Zhong Li shook his head slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly: "The war between demons and gods is too brutal. Among my old friends, he is already very lucky."

At least He is still alive, but has lost his memory and power.

It is much easier to recover lost memories and powers than to recover lost lives.

That's why he lost his temper for the first time when Chen Tianfeng took out the crystal.

In Teyvat, in any world, resurrection from the dead is not an easy task - whether it is a demon or a mortal.

"……Feel sorry."

Chen Tianfeng's eyes were apologetic, knowing that he mentioned Zhongli's sadness.

"It doesn't matter, it's been so long, and the original sadness has already been worn away by time."

Zhongli paused, noticed the movement in the kitchen, and said with a warm smile: "It seems that the food is ready. You should know that there is a dispute between Li Cai and Yue Cai in Liyue, and Xiangling can be crushed by the battle between the two major cuisines. , Wanmintang is famous in Liyue Port, and her cooking skills are certainly very good. I think her new dishes will dazzle the children. "

"I am looking forward."

Chen Tianfeng agreed with a smile.

The next moment, the energetic little cook was holding a tray, glanced at them, and walked briskly to the two of them. She announced the name of the dish with a smile: "You two have been waiting for a long time! Dang, Dang, slime slippery." Mu Feng mushrooms, deep-fried crystal butterflies... and my favorite creation - colorful glaze pancakes!"

Xiangling obviously didn't notice the slight change in Chen Tianfeng's expressions and the increasingly subtle look in their eyes, and still introduced enthusiastically: "This thin layer of egg skin contains red squirrel ham, orange carrots, and yellow sun frogs. Flesh, green lotus flowers, blue butterfly wings..."

Chen Tianfeng's face turned slightly stiff. He raised his eyes to look at Zhongli and asked with his eyes: "Is this a bright spot?"

Zhongli's expression remained calm as usual, but his eyes moved away, refusing to look at Chen Tianfeng.

"You two, please use it slowly!"

After Xiangling introduced the dishes, she seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, and finally looked at the two of them expectantly: "Well, Mr. Zhongli, Mr. Chen, after you finish eating, can you talk about your feelings or make some suggestions? I want to improve it. These new dishes, please!”

She clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to the two of them. Her big eyes were full of sincerity and expectation that people couldn't figure out how to reject. If you looked closely, you could still find traces of nervousness and uneasiness in them.

Chen Tianfeng: "..."

Zhongli: "..."

The two of them were silent for two seconds, each eating the dishes in their own way, trying to give an objective evaluation, and politely declined when the little chef said that she would change it immediately and make it again for them to taste.

The little chef Xiangling was both happy and a little bit regretful. She cherished the reviews of the new dishes written by Chen Tianfeng and Zhong Li, waving to say goodbye to them, and the khaki bear at her feet also waved her little arms.

After turning the corner and making sure that Xiang Ling couldn't see him, Chen Tianfeng's smile dropped, and his expression was a little dull: "This is the first time I have eaten such strange things in human form."

Zhong Li glanced at him and thought for a while, without reminding Chen Tianfeng that compared with what he was eating, the dishes just now seemed a bit normal.

"Sure enough, the free ones are the most expensive. The ancients did not deceive me."

Chen Tianfeng sighed with emotion, trying hard to forget the wonderful taste when he just tried the food. He looked around, his eyes lit up, and he took Zhongli to the teahouse not far away. The servant led him up to the second floor and found a place with a beautiful scenery. Best location, order two pots of tea.

"Phew, come to life."

After taking a sip of the elegant and lightly fragrant tea, Chen Tianfeng let out a long breath, frowned, and glanced around calmly, lowering his voice: "Mr. Zhongli, do you think that the way this teahouse servant looks at me is not right?"

"Indeed."

Zhongli took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said calmly: "Maybe they thought you were here to make a secret visit, so that they could find out their work status and give rewards or punishments accordingly."

"...Hmm?"

Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, and a light flashed in his mind, and he said thoughtfully: "Is this the Yanshang Teahouse?"

If he remembered correctly, the Yanshang Teahouse should have become one of Ye Lan's industries not long ago, and it was also her new intelligence collection place. These teahouse servants might all be Ye Lan's men, so it's not surprising that they could recognize him.

But Zhongli said "secret visit" and "giving rewards and punishments"... Chen Tianfeng's eyes were slightly surprised, looking at Zhongli, hesitantly said: "The owner of this teahouse... is me?"

"It's Ye Lan." Zhongli smiled slightly: "But Ye Lan once semi-publicly expressed her relationship with you in the teahouse, so in the eyes of the teahouse staff, you..."

"Okay, I know, Mr. Zhongli, you don't have to say it."

Chen Tianfeng interrupted him in time and forced to change the subject: "Let's continue to talk about the honorific name and Inazuma."

"Okay." Zhongli nodded, as if smiling, "Then did you have a honorific name in the original world? What is it?"

"Yes."

Chen Tianfeng's eyes were filled with memories, and the past scenes appeared in front of him. The young god forced himself to be calm and took on the name of the god of his hometown in the strange world.

"Yuanxi Zhishi Tianzun - this is my honorific name in the Holy Spirit World." He smiled and said softly: "Or, Emperor Fuxi."
