The reason Xiangling adds extra dishes for Ganyu is because she noticed that Ganyu always orders just a little bit of food.
In Xiangling's eyes, that amount of food was hardly enough to fill anyone up, so she secretly added more dishes for Ganyu, making sure she ate her fill.
Xiangling said,
"Ganyu, you sit down for a while. I'll make you some delicious dishes soon."
Ganyu heard "a few dishes" and forced a smile.
"Okay, okay."
Great! My weight... it's going to go up again.
Ganyu quickly ran over to Ningguang and Keqing, as she feared that if she stayed there, Xiangling would add more food for her.
Ye Yun saw Ganyu fleeing and smiled. He thought for a moment and then decided to prepare a special dish for her.
Ye Yun called out to Stelle, who was chatting with Hu Tao nearby.
"Stelle, hurry up and pick some vegetables. Help me wash some cabbage."
Stelle, being called, pouted.
"Okay."
Ye Yun planned to make a simple boiled cabbage dish for Ganyu, as he was sure she would love it.
Meanwhile, Bailu was diagnosing Jingliu. Bailu looked serious.
"Hmm, your pulse is quite strange."
Jing Liu smiled.
"Dragon Lady, do I have some illness?"
Bailu shook her head.
"It's not an illness. Your pulse is very energetic, but it's a bit too active. It's fine; it should just mean you're in good health, so don't worry."
Bailu patted Jingliu's hand, signaling for her to relax.
Jingliu smiled slightly.
"That's a relief. Thank you, Dragon Lady."
Bailu shook her head.
"It's no problem. It's a small matter. You just mentioned that you know the General?"
Jing Liu nodded.
"Yes, I know. Jing Yuan and I are old friends."
Bai Lu was quite surprised.
"Old friends? Can you tell me about the General's past?"
Jing Liu thought for a moment, and many memories came to mind.
"About the past? Let me think... I'll tell you the story of the five heroes from the Cloud Knights."
Bailu immediately perked up, eagerly waiting for the story.
Upon hearing there was a story to tell, Klee, Diona, and Hook gathered around as well.
The four little ones sat around Jingliu, listening attentively to her recounting the tale of the five heroes from the Cloud Knights.
On the other side, Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu had already finished their shopping. They found Himeko and asked for recommendations on some equipment suitable for a country that was just beginning its industrialization.
Yes, Ningguang planned to bring Liyue into the industrial age and boost its technology.
With Himeko's expert recommendations, the three of them bought some very suitable equipment.
Ningguang thanked Himeko.
"Thank you, Himeko."
Himeko shook her head.
"It's nothing. We're all friends."
At that moment, Ye Yun's voice rang out across the shop.
"Dinner's ready~"
Himeko smiled at Ningguang, Keqing, and Ganyu.
"Let's go. We can eat together."
Ningguang agreed.
Hearing that dinner was ready, Silver Wolf kicked open the door to the private room and walked out.
"Time to eat!"
Hu Tao saw Silver Wolf and immediately spoke up.
"Silver Wolf, just the person I wanted to see. I need a favor."
Silver Wolf grabbed a large bowl and began serving food while asking,
"What is it?"
Hu Tao said,
"I've got 1000 computers. Can you help me assemble them when you have the time?"
Silver Wolf froze for a moment. What? 1000 computers? Wouldn't that be exhausting?
"1000? That's too much. I can't do it alone."
Silver Wolf thought for a moment.
"You should ask Himeko, Clara, Dan Heng, Welt, and Ye Yun. They can help too. We'll do it all together."
Hu Tao agreed.
She went around asking each person, and they all agreed to help.
Once she had everyone's confirmation, Silver Wolf agreed.
"Alright, that works. When?"
Hu Tao said,
"The day after tomorrow. We'll clear the site tomorrow and move in the day after."
Silver Wolf closed the pot lid after serving her meal.
"Got it."
The group gathered around the dinner table.
Ganyu looked at the colorful and aromatic dishes in front of her, her mouth watering.
She regretted coming over now, knowing that if she ate all of this, her carefully controlled weight would definitely skyrocket!
Ye Yun, seeing Ganyu's conflicted expression, spoke up.
"Ganyu, try this dish. It's called Qianlong Cabbage."
Ganyu looked and saw a simple cabbage dish placed in front of her.
"Well, this should be fine."
"Okay, I'll try it."
Ganyu picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour cabbage was very refreshing, and after just one bite, she forgot all about her worries regarding her weight.
"It's delicious~"
Ye Yun smiled.
"If it's good, eat more."
Ganyu nodded vigorously.
The meal went by quickly.
Afterward, everyone left Ye Yun's shop.
Once the four little ones went to their room to rest, Jingliu entered Ye Yun's small bar and sat down.
Ye Yun poured her a cup of tea.
"It's so late. Aren't you going to rest?"
Jingliu looked down at the tea cup in her hands.
"There's too much on my mind, I can't sleep."
Ye Yun thought for a moment.
"Didn't Jing Yuan give you any Qingling Pills? I remember he had Bailu make some."
Jingliu replied,
"I've already taken one. It helps alleviate the Mara-Struck body, but some past memories keep resurfacing in my mind."
Ye Yun said,
"Sometimes, forgetting isn't about forgiving others, it's about letting go of yourself. Only when you let go of the past and cleanse your heart can the wounds heal."
Jingliu smiled softly.
"Yes, so, I came back this time to understand some things."
Ye Yun said,
"Well, I wish you success."
Jingliu smiled.
"Hmm, during this period, I want to stay here and spend more time with Bailu. Do you have any extra rooms?"
Ye Yun said,
"For that, you'd need to ask Pom-Pom or Himeko. They're in charge of that kind of thing."
Jingliu nodded slightly.
At this point, she suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, I wanted to ask you something."
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow.
"What is it?"
Jingliu asked,
"How did you find out about the Qingling Pill?"
Ye Yun smiled and thought it was no big deal.
"Jing Yuan bought the recipe from me."
He then introduced himself.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ye Yun, and I'm the owner of this shop. You can buy anything you need from here."
Jingliu replied,
"Then what do I need to pay?"
Ye Yun took out a star coin worth 100 units.
"We use Stellar Jade for transactions here. You can exchange star coins for star coin."
Jing Liu took the Stellar Jade, examined it. This paper note could buy anything she wanted? star coin? She vaguely remembered this being something you could obtain from treasure chests.
She returned the Stellar Jade to Ye Yun.
"Do you have a way to completely cure the Mara-Struck body?"
Ye Yun said,
"Of course. Let me find it for you."
Soon, Ye Yun found a product that could completely cure the Mara-Struck body.
**[Product: Heart of Purification]
Description: Can completely purify the inner demon. Each person can use it only once in their lifetime.
Price: 100,000 star coins]**
***
Zhongli returned to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and went straight to the internet cafe to find Unknown God.
At this moment, Unknown God was eating with Hu Tao in a private room at the internet cafe.
Hu Tao had packed some food for Unknown God to take back, and Unknown God was enjoying it thoroughly.
"Director Hu Tao, the food you packed is really delicious."
Hutao smiled and replied, "As long as it's tasty."
"By the way, can you come with me to tomorrow? I've got a big job to do."
Unknown God readily agreed, helping Hutao dig a pit and letting herself eat, drink, and play for free at the internet cafe.
"Sure, just call me tomorrow."
Unknown God noticed Zhongli at the door and reluctantly glanced at the Dance Dance Revolution game on the computer.
In the end, Unknown God decided to get up and walk out of the private room.
"Let's go, we'll talk somewhere else."
Hu Tao, seeing that Unknown God was about to leave, took off her headphones.
"Unknown God, where are you going? Aren't you going to play the game?"
Unknown God turned around and replied, "Hu Tao, you go ahead and play, I need to talk to Zhongli."
Hu Tao looked suspiciously at the two of them. When did they start getting so close? No way! She absolutely couldn't let the guest bring Unknown God down! Otherwise, it would mean even more expenses for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
The Unknown God led Zhongli outside and snapped her fingers, teleporting them both to Tianheng Mountain.
The Unknown God turned around.
"So, did you find a solution?"
Zhongli nodded and said,
"Two options.
First, directly purchase a life planet from Ye Yun's side, or we can find an unclaimed planet to terraform.
Second, spend 200,000 and buy a barrier formation from Ye Yun."
The Unknown God asked, "How much does it cost to buy a life planet directly?"
Zhongli calmly replied,
"300,000 star coins."
Zhongli suggested,
"I think we should terraform an unclaimed planet instead. Star coins are very important. As long as we have star coins, we can buy items from Ye Yun's side, which are from all the worlds."
Unknown God, hearing this, wasn't very clear on the value of star coins and their purchasing power.
So, she asked,
"How valuable are star coins?"
Zhongli wasn't sure how to explain, but after thinking for a moment, he changed his approach and said,
"Director and Ningguang collaborated and will be transforming the building next door to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor into an internet cafe.
When that happens, Director will place 1,000 computers in there, and it will only cost him 1,000 star coins, which is equivalent to 100 original stones."
After hearing this, Unknown God understood.
So, that's a computer! Something that could make her happy! Only 1 star coin per computer?
No way! This star coin is too valuable! Absolutely can't be used recklessly!
"Then we'll terraform an unclaimed planet. Tomorrow morning, the Celestia will hold a meeting."
After saying this, Unknown God teleported away from Tianheng Mountain and returned to the internet cafe to continue playing Dance Dance Revolution.
The next day.
The Unknown God returned to Celestia and carefully observed the Teyvat continent below.
Especially the Seven Gods.
It was fine not to look, but now there were so many issues! The Dendro Archon is imprisoned? The Hydro Archon is just an ordinary person?
This Electro Archon is isolating herself?
The Pyro Archon hasn't resurrected yet? The Cryo Archon is holding a meeting to discuss stealing the Gnosis? The Unknown God felt exhausted.
Forget it, forget it, just grab them all!
With a wave of her hand, terrifying spatial authority burst forth.
In Inazuma, at the Tenshukaku.
Raiden Ei suddenly woke up, and consciousness instantly returned to her body.
As soon as Raiden Ei's consciousness returned, a wave of spatial energy enveloped her, and she disappeared from Tenshukaku.
In Sumeru, at the Sanctuary of Surasthana.
Nahida had just woken up and was connecting with Katheryne to observe the world.
Suddenly, Nahida felt the connection was cut off. It was as if she was flying?
"What's happening?"
In Fontaine, at the Palais Mermonia.
Furina was eating small cakes in her room when, in the next moment, she felt the ground beneath her feet vanish and fell into a spatial passage.
"Ah!!!! Help! Neuvillette, save me!"
In Snezhnaya, the Cryo Archon, who was in a meeting with the Harbingers, was grabbed right in front of them.
On Celestia.
Venti and Zhongli were the first to appear at the entrance of Celestia.
Venti felt a bit guilty. He had already sent his Gnosis away, and if things went wrong, he would have to face the consequences.
"Old man, why did you suddenly call us over?"
Zhongli glanced at the guilty Venti.
"No need to panic."
The Unknown God called this meeting to discuss the development of a new planet.
In short, The Unknown God needed the Seven Gods to work for her to terraform an unclaimed planet.
Zhongli said,
"Let's go, we should enter. The others will coming soon."
Although Venti didn't want to go in, she had no choice but to follow Zhongli's footsteps into the interior of Calestia
Zhongli and Venti arrived at a beautiful garden. In the center of the garden was a round table, and The Unknown God was sitting at the head seat.
Beside her were Raiden Ei, Nahida, Furina, and the Cryo Archon, all sitting quietly in their respective seats.
Raiden Ei looked as if she were facing an enemy, sitting upright.
Nahida curiously looked around, thinking that this was Calestia, which she had never seen before. The Irminsul didn't have information on Calestia.
Furina was sweating profusely.
"I'm doomed! I'm a fake Hydro Archon! Neuvillette, save me! Save me!"
The Cryo Archon, bound to her chair, was desperately struggling to break free.
At the head seat, the unknown god looked at Zhongli and Venti as they arrived and gestured to the seats beside her.
"You're here? Sit down."
Zhongli and Venti were the least troublesome of the gods. At least they didn't cause problems and were focused on developing their own countries.
After they sat down, the unknown god looked around, took out a bag of chips, and opened it, beginning to eat.
"Now that everyone's here, let's begin the meeting.
First, tell me what's going on with you guys.
Do you even remember your duties? Huh? Guiding humanity's development! Is that how you're doing it?
You! Raiden Ei! Your people in Inazuma are practically dying off, and you're not doing anything about it? If you don't care, I'll find someone else to replace you!
And you, Nahida, right? You're a god! You were actually captured by humans! Show some dignity as a god!
As for you, Furina, forget it. You're a pitiful one, but your nation of Fontaine is doing okay, and you're obedient, not causing trouble."
After speaking,
The unknown god coldly looked at the Cryo Archon.
"Finally, you—trying to seize power? This is your last chance. Go back and manage your nation properly, or I won't hesitate to destroy you all!"
Hearing Asmod's words, the Cryo Archon was horrified, especially the last sentence: "I won't hesitate to destroy you all!" made her feel the full force of The unknown god's murderous intent.
After scolding all the gods, Asmod finally sat back in her seat, satisfied.
"Alright, now explain yourselves one by one."
