Jiang Xiaofeng returned to the box.

The three sisters were just about to go back to their room when they saw Jiang Xiaofeng and quickly surrounded him.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is drunk, why don't you take advantage of this..."

This is Calliope.

"My lord, this is a rare opportunity, why not...?"

Euterpe waved excitedly.

"Wang, you're not impotent, are you...?"

Clio looked at Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes and said.

Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."

Go do what you're supposed to do.

Jiang Xiaofeng waved.

"If you're bored and have nothing better to do, tell me. I'll go find the Collector and prepare a cell extractor for you too. You can leave the box and kill monsters to extract cells and develop Panacea."

Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, signaling the three to leave.

Then, Jiang Xiaofeng entered the Queen's room.

" Anna, are you awake?"

Jiang Xiaofeng knocked on the door.

There was no sound.

Left with no other option, Jiang Xiaofeng went inside.

Anna's head wasn't glowing; she looked like she was asleep...

"..."

Left with no other option, Jiang Xiaofeng had to back out.

"Let Anna get some sleep..."

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then looked towards the other people's rooms.

Then, Jiang Xiaofeng walked towards the room of Paimon, the Time Keeper...

" Paimon, may I come in?"

Jiang Xiaofeng knocked on the door.

"The door's unlocked, come in."

Paimon's voice came through.

Jiang Xiaofeng pushed open the door and went inside.

Paimon was holding a book and reading.

Where did the book come from?

As Paimon flipped through the book, he said, "They said that Clio stole a bunch of books from the Knights of Favonius ' library and hid them in their clothes."

Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."

Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at the book Paimon was reading, titled "The Boar Princess."

"..."

"I remember this was a ghost story..."

Paimon nodded.

"That's true."

"How can this plot be categorized as a fairy tale...?"

Jiang Xiaofeng was taken aback, and pulled out two books from the table next to him.

" A Legend of Sword " and " The Tale of Shiruyeh and Shirin ".

Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."

What strange books did Clio pack up?

Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a moment and then opened " A Legend of Sword ".

After reading a little, Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't continue.

"This one's a little better than the Boar Princess, isn't it..."

Jiang Xiaofeng was both amused and exasperated.

"What kind of books are these?"

"These can't be called fairy tales, can they?"

Paimon put down his book and gestured with his chin. "There are still many books over there."

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the huge pile of books in the corner of the room. "..."

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but wonder, were the three of them this fat when they Knights of Favonius?

Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.

"No, I didn't come here to read."

Jiang Xiaofeng asked, "Is your injury healed?"

Paimon nodded.

Have you eaten?

"No."

"Shall I go out and make you something?"

"Are you out of things to say?"

"..."

Paimon looked at the silent Jiang Xiaofeng.

After a while, Jiang Xiaofeng looked up.

What do you want to eat?

Paimon almost burst out laughing.

"Have you never said sweet nothings to a girl before?"

"If you try to flirt with me like that, it's basically impossible."

Why don't you try some cheesy pickup lines?

Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged.

"Most of the women I've dated so far have been given away for free; to be honest, I've never actively pursued a woman."

There won't be any more.

Jiang Xiaofeng went outside.

Paimon leaned against the edge of the bed, smiling as he watched Jiang Xiaofeng leave, muttering to himself.

"He's clearly just a guy with a big heart, yet he wants to be like the King and have a harem?"

Paimon smiled and looked down, making eye contact with a little guy.

Paimon: "Who are you, kid?"

The Knight: "..."

Jiang Xiaofeng, of course, didn't hear those words.

He was provoked.

Paimon is right, he has never spoken to any girls.

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng had never been in a relationship in his previous life.

It's not that no one is interested in Jiang Xiaofeng, but rather that Jiang Xiaofeng is unwilling to interact with girls.

In his past life, Jiang Xiaofeng believed that dealing with girls was even more difficult than making money.

As for now... Jiang Xiaofeng only has the courage to be with the Queen because he stole the King's body... cough cough.

Looking back now, it really was all thanks to the scumbag the King's scumbag reputation...

Wait a minute, isn't it me who's even more despicable now?

The pot calling the kettle black is an example of the pot calling the kettle black.

"Well."

My head hurts.

Outside the King's Box, Jiang Xiaofeng, holding the Acceptance, Yanxiao Yan Xiao, an innkeeper, to prepare a large haul of dishes for him. Yan Xiao, though furious, dared not Yanxiao and could only cook with the innkeeper's tacit approval.

By the time it was completely dark, Yanxiao had finished preparing all the dishes.

" Golden Shrimp Balls, braised pork and bamboo shoots, shredded pork, stir-fried three kinds of vegetables, Mora Meat, almond tofu..."

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the dishes.

"Is that enough? Can I leave now?"

Yanxiao and said ingratiatingly.

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, raised his hand, and collected all the dishes.

Jiang Xiaofeng took out the stone tablet, clasped his hands together, and returned to the King's Box.

What? Why not jump into the box?

Please, you can't just enlarge the box every time it comes out; that would be too much trouble.

Jiang Xiaofeng returned to the box.

Then, Jiang Xiaofeng called out to everyone.

"Come out and try some Liyue food."

Apart from the Giant who didn't need to eat, the Queen who was still sleeping, and Paimon who was still reading, everyone else came out of the room.

"Have you finished reading the third volume of ' The Vera's Melancholy '? Show it to me when you're done..."

"You haven't finished reading it yet? I have ' The Flowers for Princess Fischl ', would you like to read it...?"

"Blablabla..."

Jiang Xiaofeng watched the group discuss the borrowing process of the novel and pondered.

"Should we let them go out more often? Reading isn't their only way to relax..."

While Jiang Xiaofeng was still thinking, the five women had already left the table.

Wait, there's a woman in the box?!

Jiang Xiaofeng discovered a terrifying truth.

After all, Jiang Xiaofeng had no intention of having any romantic feelings for the Greatsword Woman and the Hand of the King. He had already gone far with verbal flirting, to the point that Jiang Xiaofeng subconsciously ignored the fact that the two were girls.

Should I put two males in the box?

It has to be said that Paimon's words made Jiang Xiaofeng start to have wild thoughts, and even start to go a little crazy.

"My lord, didn't you say you wanted to try Liyue's food? Where is it?"

Jiang Xiaofeng snapped out of his daze, waved his hand, and all the dishes, along with their plates, appeared on the table.

"You guys continue, I'll go get Time Keeper."

Jiang Xiaofeng took a deep breath and made up his mind.

If Paimon dares to provoke him again, he'll throw Paimon back into the world of Dead Cells.

Anyway, the power of time can be manipulated in the Genshin Impact world; if necessary, we can always go find her later...

Jiang Xiaofeng made up his mind and entered Paimon's room.

"The food is ready, you..."

Jiang Xiaofeng had barely opened his mouth when he was pulled inside and the door was closed.

Jiang Xiaofeng was pinned against the door by Paimon.

"Aren't you... going out to get something to eat?"

Paimon looked at Jiang Xiaofeng and smiled, "You're frighteningly naive."

"Your current behavior is all an act, isn't it?"

You're not actually that twisted.

Jiang Xiaofeng: "... Let's not talk about this anymore."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiaofeng's hands flashed with black and white light.

A Starry Sky Gate quietly appeared behind Paimon.

Paimon released Jiang Xiaofeng: "Are you serious? I'm not hungry."

Jiang Xiaofeng stroked his chin. "You haven't eaten anything, so why aren't you hungry?"

Don't you need to eat?

Paimon suddenly grabbed Jiang Xiaofeng's hand and fell onto the bed.

Jiang Xiaofeng was startled and closed the Starry Sky Gate with a flick of his finger.

Paimon released his grip and placed his hand on Jiang Xiaofeng's face.

"Do you only realize you've got a girlfriend when she's practically handed to you?"

Paimon took off Jiang Xiaofeng's helmet and threw it aside, staring into Jiang Xiaofeng's eyes.

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Paimon's golden eyes and wanted to move them.

Paimon suddenly hugged Jiang Xiaofeng.

"Is that enough?"

"Still don't understand?"

Paimon angrily rested his chin on Jiang Xiaofeng's shoulder and said fiercely, "If you still don't understand what I mean, don't even think about talking to me again!"

Jiang Xiaofeng had already figured it out, but he didn't know why Paimon was being so proactive.

Are you a pervert?

Jiang Xiaofeng removed his armor, flipped over, and pinned Paimon down.

Paimon's four eyes blinked, which looked quite peculiar.

"What, you pulled me out of that kingdom? I was going to thank you properly anyway, although this wasn't how I intended to thank you at the time."

"However, after spending this time together, I feel that you are someone I can confide in."

Jiang Xiaofeng wanted to shake his head and say that he didn't have that much ability, but he also knew that he couldn't say such a jarring thing now.

So... the meat's practically in your mouth, and you're still not going to eat it?

Paimon put his mouth close to Jiang Xiaofeng's ear and whispered something in his ear.

"You're not... really not going to make it... are you...?"

Jiang Xiaofeng: "!"

Just as the two were entwined in passion, the Knight quietly opened the door and left the room.
