Bad Habits of the Elderly (Continued)

—Whose worries are about not having a "lewd" figure?!

—If Liu Bai were to say it, taking off half of your clothes would solve everything.

"Nutritional secrets?" Xianyun was taken aback when she heard this.

"It's about what to eat every day, and things like that."

Guinaifen's gaze swept over Shenhe.

One person's lewd physique might be innate, but that's unlikely to be the case for a master and his apprentice.

"Then you've come to the right person! My expertise in the art of health preservation is in no way inferior to my skill in mechanics."

Suddenly, Xianyun became interested and pulled Guinaifen over.

"First..."

"True Lord".

Ganyu suddenly appeared behind Xianyun like a ghost.

"Gan... Ganyu? Why do you walk so quietly?" Xianyun was startled by Ganyu's sudden appearance.

"Your health preservation secrets may not be suitable for ordinary people."

Ganyu spoke softly.

Xianyun is indeed a good mother and a good teacher, but when it comes to feeding...

Some things are better left unsaid.

My childhood obesity was partly due to my adoptive mother's overfeeding.

"You clearly enjoyed eating this when you were little." Xianyun was clearly unconvinced when Ganyu said that.

"Sigh... that was when I was little..."

Ganyu looked somewhat embarrassed.

On the one hand, this was a question she really couldn't answer.

On the other hand... I feel that if this continues, my adoptive mother will bring up my embarrassing past.

Even a true lord cannot help but share the embarrassing stories of his descendants' childhoods with others as a source of amusement.

"In short, Miss Gui, overnutrition is a terrible thing."

Ganyu glanced at Shenhe.

She found it hard to say whether she envied Shenhe or not.

After all, Shenhe's development has always been very good.

But sometimes she wondered if it was because Shenhe was sometimes sent to other immortals, so that the excess nutrients could be digested in time.

—After all, of the few "beast immortals" who reside permanently in Liyue, only Cloud Retainer can cook; the others eat flowers and drink dew. Therefore, Shenhe can only eat grass when he goes to other immortals' homes...

Well, but when I was a kid... even if I left it alone, I might have chewed the mountain bare.

... Suddenly I feel so sad.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem to be entirely the responsibility of my adoptive mother.

Shenhe: "?"

Shenhe was puzzled as to why his senior sister's gaze had turned somewhat sad.

"Is overnutrition really that bad...? Ah, that makes sense."

Ganyu's words calmed Guinaifen down a bit.

"How can I not get nutrition..." Xianyun was clearly very unwilling.

"True Lord!" Ganyu's usually calm tone rose slightly—she had a premonition that if this wasn't stopped, her secrets would be exposed.

Xianyun is a typical elder who always feels that her child isn't full, no matter how much they eat.

In addition, she did have a huge appetite when she was little.

Therefore, once her dark history is exposed, she has no room for rebuttal.

"Where are you and Lord Liu Bai headed?"

"Go explore the art of ingenuity, Ganyu, what about you?"

"I'll leave the delivery of the documents to you, Lord Liu Bai."

After stopping Xianyun's nutritional theories and changing the subject, Ganyu chose to run away.

"... Has Ganyu Yu reached her rebellious phase?" Xianyun pushed up her glasses, a hint of motherly worry in her voice.

Shenhe: "..."

Shenhe also knew that Xianyun had the bad habit of criticizing elders, so he could understand Ganyu's decision to run away.

However, it's probably best not to expose them at this time.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, the Shogun."

"It's alright." Liu Bai, who also knew a bit about the inside story, smiled and indicated that it was nothing to worry about.

Afterwards, the group entered the guesthouse.

Only...

Boom--!

As soon as Liu Bai entered, he heard a loud bang and saw thick smoke billowing from the cafeteria.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling blade of light appeared.

Immediately following was Miyuki Chiyo's furious shout.

"Shadow—! What are you doing!"

"Put out the fire!"

"You're going to put out the fire with a knife?"

"Why not just cut a vacuum zone with one strike and then use Honkai energy to compress it?"

The disheveled and disheveled Miyuki Chiyo paused upon hearing Kage's answer.

If you put it that way... it does seem like there's no problem.

This method can extinguish most ordinary fires.

"--No problem my ass! You wrecked their kitchen! Cough cough..."

"A few guests... are you alright?"

The guesthouse chefs quickly gathered around.

The kitchen matters are minor, but these distinguished guests are of great importance!

"It's alright... If something happens to you, nothing can happen to us."

Miyuki Chiyo was in a bad mood because of the smoke, said irritably, but she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with the chefs.

After calming down, Miyuki Chiyo's tone softened.

"Ahem... In short, we've caused you all trouble this time."

After saying that, Miyuki Chiyo looked at the shadow with disappointment.

You blew up the kitchen just because I asked you to cook a meal?

"We will provide appropriate compensation for the damage to the kitchen."

Liu Bai's calm voice rang out from the side.

"Chiyo, Kage, what's going on here...?"

Upon hearing Liu Bai's voice, Miyuki Chiyo immediately transformed from a tomboy into a delicate willow, whimpering as she threw herself into Liu Bai.

"Lord Liu Bai, I am utterly incompetent."

Ah, that was close! I almost got poked by the corner.

Liu Bai avoided the demon horn on Miyuki Chiyo's head.

Although it's not pointed, it's long, about twenty centimeters.

If this thing were even slightly sharp, it could potentially murder a husband at any moment...

"Ming Lingming, a certain dream u person voted nV like I Tong Ling I voted, right?|, now Qi Er is in the silk how I negotiate what I teacher has face I in Liu b Ling a white private private arms Ni selling misery 𫔌."

Private

Kitsune Saiguu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and began to mock Miyuki Chiyo.

This incident has put her on guard, but you people are completely unprepared.

She, Kitsune Saiguu, is indeed Inazuma's strongest sage.

"... I'm sorry, Lord Liu Bai." Zhen Cai emerged from the kitchen, looking disheveled. "I never expected Ying to..."

I have absolutely no idea how Shadow managed to blow up the kitchen.

"... So why did you put Ying in the kitchen?" Bai rubbed his forehead and reached out to wipe the face of the Miyuki Chiyo, in his arms.

"... I wanted to give Lord Liu Bai a surprise." Miyuki Chiyo's tone involuntarily became dry.

The surprises were definitely overwhelming, but the likes seemed nonexistent.

"Brother-in-law..." Ying stood there, looking at Liu Bai with a pitiful expression, "Next, next time it will definitely work!"

"Alright, alright, I didn't say I was blaming you, but I'll let it go next time."

Liu Bai looked at the aggrieved Ying and didn't know how to scold her—but this kind of thing absolutely could not be allowed to happen again!

People who say "I'll definitely succeed next time" usually never succeed in the end!

"Here, let me wipe your face. Listen to your brother-in-law, don't try it next time."

"...Um."

Ying nodded somewhat reluctantly and then obediently walked to Liu Bai's side.

Xianyun: "..."

Is this person really the general in charge of the campaign?

"... scheming."

Guinaifen couldn't help but mutter under her breath as she watched this scene.

"I'm sorry, Little Gui, Eden, Ruan Mei, this matter is indeed unexpected."

He walked over to the three of them and apologized to them.

"Huh?" Little Gui was startled by the sudden apology.

It was all so nonsensical, yet she inexplicably understood why Zhen was apologizing.

Damn it... don't try to be magnanimous like a first wife at a time like this!

"This has nothing to do with me, so you don't need to apologize to me."

Ruan Mei did not mince words when she received a genuine apology.

Eden nodded calmly to Zhen, neither as surprised as Guinaifen nor as indifferent as Ruan Mei.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, she and Zhen actually got along quite well. Her ladylike reserve and pride led her to react only minimally to Zhen's apology—too surprised would be admitting defeat, and too indifferent would be going against her true feelings.

After clarifying that neither he nor Inazuma had any desire to possess Liu Bai, Zhen looked at Xianyun.

"I remember you are..."

"Liu Yun borrowed the wind to greet... Raiden Thor." Xianyun nodded slightly to Zhen. "You..."

"I am just a woman, you can just call me Zhen. All the affairs of the household are managed by Lord Liu Bai."

Zhen shook her head slightly. Unless Liu Bai entrusted the matter to her, she would not interfere in anything that Liu Bai could handle.

In a few days, Inazuma's affairs will also be handed over to Liu Bai.

Zhen's words were so straightforward that even a hermit like Xianyun, who was detached from worldly affairs, could understand them.
