Bosacius simply stared at Xiu Yuan with wide eyes, ten thousand questions surfacing in his mind.
Was he really not angry?
Why wasn't he angry?
It was only their first day in Liyue, and they had already failed to finish their assignment on time. Did the King really have no reaction at all?
He was actually concerned about whether we liked eating these fish?
Why would he think about such things for his subordinates?
Bosacius was not the only one pondering these questions. The other four Yakshas were just as baffled.
"Your Majesty."
"Hmm?" Xiu Yuan turned to look.
"Aren't you... angry?" he asked cautiously.
"Why should I be angry?" Xiu Yuan asked in return.
"We failed to follow your instructions and finish our assignment on time."
"Of course I know that. Haven't you all already recognized your mistake? What is there left to be angry about? Besides, do I look like someone who gets angry that easily?"
"No, no, no..." Bosacius hurriedly waved all four hands, denying what Xiu Yuan had said. "It just feels a little unbelievable."
"What's so unbelievable about it? It's not a big deal. You just came back a little late. Don't be so hard on yourselves, and don't think so badly of me."
"You're not children anymore. How serious something is depends on its consequences. Surely I don't need to teach you that?"
"All your late return meant was that I had to wait a little longer for grilled fish. Why would I get angry over that?"
"If you came back late because you were having too much fun, and that let evil spirits invade Liyue and cause casualties, then I would be angry. Don't dwell on little everyday things. Don't put so much pressure on yourselves. Learn to relax and enjoy life."
