Anna helped Jiang Xiaofeng up.
"Stand up! You're not allowed to sleep in a place like this!"
"Just let me sleep for a while..."
"No, you're not allowed to sleep here!"
"If you're going to sleep, go to a place like the Cat's Tail Tavern where the Knight can settle down!"
Why are you so defenseless when it comes to things like this?!
Anna muttered a helpless complaint as she helped Jiang Xiaofeng slowly walk towards the Cat's Tail Tavern.
The Knight followed quietly behind.
As the setting sun descended, the scene took on an exceptionally poignant beauty...
"What? The Knight is back?"
Diona slammed her hand on the front desk and shouted angrily.
Margaret slowly wiped the glasses. "He was perfectly fine, he just... went to see his parents?"
"Just ask him when he gets back."
While the two were talking, Anna had already helped Jiang Xiaofeng into the Cat's Tail Tavern.
"Are you actually weak or just genuinely tired...?"
Anna shoved Jiang Xiaofeng onto a chair and gasped for breath.
The Knight obediently jumped onto the table, and before he could even put his hand over to Jiang Xiaofeng while he was asleep, Diona grabbed him.
"Well, you rascal! You didn't even tell me you were alright! I even went out looking for you today!"
The Knight couldn't break free, so he pulled out the Nail.
Diona readily agreed and released the Knight.
This is absolutely not from the heart, really!
The Knight slowly walked up to Jiang Xiaofeng, leaned on the table, placed his hand on Jiang Xiaofeng's chest, and gently called out to him.
"Father?"
Jiang Xiaofeng heard this.
At the same time, he opened his eyes.
"Please let me rest a little longer..."
Only then did Jiang Xiaofeng realize that the Knight was definitely not pure anymore.
But what does it matter whether it's pure or not?
I, Jiang Xiaofeng, am not so weak that I need my son to seal away any enemies.
Directly criticizing a certain Pale King.
The Knight can live a peaceful life; there's no possibility of him becoming Vessel.
As for what I said to the Knight earlier, it was just to see if the Knight had any thinking ability...
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head and stood up.
"I feel refreshed after a good night's sleep."
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Queen and said, "I already said I just needed a nap, why did you bring me to the Cat's Tail Tavern?"
Anna said irritably, "Who told you to look like you were about to die?"
"Are you just used to sleeping wherever you are, or are you really heartless?!"
Jiang Xiaofeng slapped his forehead. "I'd completely forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, opening a door and taking out the core of the Electro Hypostasis.
"It doesn't look like much has changed..."
Jiang Xiaofeng put away the core of the Electro Hypostasis and looked at the Queen.
Have you had enough of Mondstadt City?
Anna shook her head.
"It's not good to stay here if you haven't played it before."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
"In that case, let's leave."
"I have a proper position in Liyue, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Although I've forgotten what my position was..."
Anna nodded.
"Wait a moment!"
Diona called out to Jiang Xiaofeng.
"You came here for drinks, right? Although I don't like mixing drinks, since you're the Knight's friends, I'll mix you one anyway!"
Diona shook the wine jug and spoke to Jiang Xiaofeng.
"Actually, it should be the parents..."
Anna had just opened her mouth when she saw Jiang Xiaofeng pause as he headed towards the door.
Jiang Xiaofeng sat back down. "Then I have to try it."
Anna: "..."
The Knight: "?"
What happened?
The Knight watched as Anna and Jiang Xiaofeng sat back down, then walked to the front desk and jumped into a seat.
Diona kept shaking the flask, and soon a glass of purple liquid was poured out.
" Midnight Alley, this is yours, the Knight."
The Knight stared at the wine glass, unsure where to begin...
Diona kept taking various materials out of her bag, including strange slime and dried Windwheel Aster...
" The Sea of Dreams, this is for my older sister."
Anna took the glass. "Thank you."
Jiang Xiaofeng, on the other hand, was pondering how Diona had recognized Anna as a girl...
(Let's put Kao Ge here first)
The last cup...
While Jiang Xiaofeng wasn't looking, Diona tossed a small trinket with a four-leaf clover symbol into the cocktail shaker, along with some firefly luminous material...
Finally, it is yours, sir: Dancing Radiance.
Jiang Xiaofeng took the glass. "Thank you."
The Knight was still holding the wine glass, unsure how to drink, while Anna had already finished hers.
Anna couldn't help but exclaim, "It's delicious! It smells spicy, but the taste is a gentle coolness with a hint of bitterness."
"The sweetness is just right, and despite its seemingly thick consistency, the drink is surprisingly easy to drink..."
"The overall feeling is like being immersed in a dreamlike sea, leaving a lasting impression..."
Anna put down her glass. "This wine is absolutely exquisite."
In layman's terms: Sweet wine, very strong.
As for Jiang Xiaofeng?
He took a sip and noticed it was carbonated...
Jiang Xiaofeng wasn't really ready to drink anymore.
He used to be able to drink even strong liquor, but he just couldn't stand carbonated drinks.
Beer too.
"Ahem, good wine."
" Anna, have a taste."
Anna didn't refuse, took the Dancing Radiance, and tasted it; her eyes lit up.
"This..."
Jiang Xiaofeng quickly covered Anna's mouth.
"Okay, stop commenting. I don't like sparkling wine..."
Anna nodded thoughtfully and finished her drink of Dancing Radiance.
Then, Anna looked toward the Knight's Midnight Alley.
The Knight: "..."
"In the end, Anna drank all three glasses of wine..."
Jiang Xiaofeng was both amused and exasperated. He took out the teleportation stone tablet, sent Anna back to the King's Box, carried her to her room, and then Jiang Xiaofeng out.
The Knight sat obediently in his seat.
Diona, her eyes shining, asked the Knight if the drink was badly mixed this time.
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng walked over and picked up the Knight: "Alright, Miss Diona, thank you for your hospitality."
"You made a delicious cocktail; we can't waste this gift from heaven."
After saying this cryptically, Jiang Xiaofeng left the Cat's Tail Tavern.
Diona didn't understand, but she still stared at Jiang Xiaofeng's back and said fiercely, "Next time, I'll definitely mix a terrible drink!"
Jiang Xiaofeng left Cat's Tail Tavern.
He decided to go and take a look at the Angel's Share and exchange a few words with his grandfather.
If he's not there, then forget it...
Jiang Xiaofeng received the Angel's Share.
Well, it's rare that Grandpa Diluc didn't step in at the crucial moment.
Jiang Xiaofeng quietly left, making no attempt to pay any attention to the drunken bard...
Jiang Xiaofeng picked up the Knight and took off from the spot.
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng flew towards the direction of Liyue Wangshu Inn.
The Knight placed his hand on Jiang Xiaofeng's chest.
"I have something here that seems to work..."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised an eyebrow, picked up the Knight, and let him move.
A faint purple light emanated from beneath the Knight's cloak, the light gradually growing stronger...
Soon, a purple shooting star streaked across the sky, heading straight for Liyue from Mondstadt...
