Jiang Xiaofeng left Northland Bank.
He checked the teleportation stone tablet in his backpack; it wasn't missing. He deduced that he must have been dragged into the Cryo Archon's illusion after his fight with the Childe...
"I never expected divine power to be sent through an illusion... How wondrous..."
Jiang Xiaofeng sensed the two divine powers and pondered everything that had just happened.
"Never mind."
Jiang Xiaofeng appeared unconcerned, but he secretly became wary.
From now on, we can only absorb divine power from the Gnosis; we can never directly absorb divine power from God.
Although it's unknown whether the Gnosis has any backup plans, Jiang Xiaofeng still has the Abyss and the Void Heart!
The power of the Void Heart is simply outrageous; it's basically Jiang Xiaofeng's last trump card.
Having reached this point, Jiang Xiaofeng withdrew his two divine powers.
"Now we just need to wait for the Traveler to arrive in Liyue!"
For the next few days, Jiang Xiaofeng spent his time either listening to storytelling with Zhongli or dragging the Childe out of the Northland Bank to fight.
In the evenings, he would return to the King's Box to find Paimon and Anna, and he was having a wonderful time.
A the Collector, toiling away at his research in the Dragonspine: "..."
A week passed quickly.
Jiang Xiaofeng watched the people around him busily working, and a smile crept onto his lips.
"The time has finally come..."
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng stood up.
Slowly, they walked towards the direction of the Rite of Descension...
Jiang Xiaofeng was halfway there when he suddenly saw a familiar-looking guy.
Jiang Xiaofeng froze, glancing at the steps of the Bubu Pharmacy beside him, then at the girl surrounded by people...
Jiang Xiaofeng thought for a moment, then walked over.
Shenhe, why did you come down the mountain?
Shenhe was about to take out her spear to fight off the men surrounding her when she saw Jiang Xiaofeng.
"It's you..."
Shenhe walked past the people next to him.
Those idle people who wanted to swindle money were unwilling to let Shenhe, this fat sheep, go, but as soon as they got close, Jiang Xiaofeng kicked them all into the fishpond next to them.
Why did you come down the mountain?
Jiang Xiaofeng asked.
My master told me to find you.
Looking for me? Do you have anything of mine that you could take?
Jiang Xiaofeng stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then finally shrugged.
"No, I can't guess."
Shenhe tucked his long braid from the back of his head to the front.
The red string that held her hair up was about to break.
Jiang Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat.
He seemed to know what was about to happen...
"My master asked me to find you and explain the problem with this red string..."
"They even said that you were the one who most likely broke the red string..."
Jiang Xiaofeng thought about it carefully.
"Hmm... I don't know either."
What did the Cloud Retainer say?
Shenhe remained silent.
"Oh, you already said that."
Jiang Xiaofeng scratched his head.
"Then you can stay by my side for now."
Jiang Xiaofeng originally intended to head towards the northern entrance of Liyue Harbor.
But Shenhe He has now arrived at Liyue Harbor...
Jiang Xiaofeng felt a headache coming on.
What about rebuilding the Jade Chamber?
Should we let Shenhe help the Traveler?
Jiang Xiaofeng led Shenhe up the steps.
Madame Ping remained quietly behind the small table.
Jiang Xiaofeng still walked over.
"Hello, Madame Ping..."
Madame Ping squinted and smiled, "You've come over after all. Are you going to watch the Rite of Descension?"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
Incidentally, Jiang Xiaofeng introduced Shenhe to Shen He.
" Madame Ping, this is the package that Cloud Retainer left me: Shenhe..."
Shenhe kicked Jiang Xiaofeng: "What do you mean by 'a burden your master left you'?"
Jiang Xiaofeng turned around. "Yes, yes, you're not my wife, and you're a woman, what else could you be but a burden?"
Shenhe: "..."
Madame Ping: "..."
Madame Ping smiled and said, "You two have such a good relationship..."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded.
Shenhe shook his head.
Madame Ping glanced at the torn red rope and already understood everything, but she didn't say anything and just smiled.
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head and led Shenhe to the venue for the Rite of Descension.
Jiang Xiaofeng took two chairs out of his backpack, placed them on the edge of the viewing platform, and sat down to watch a group of people busy with the Rite of Descension.
After looking at it for a while, Jiang Xiaofeng took out the teleportation stone tablet, put it down, said to Shenhe, "Take a look," and then went back to the King's Box.
Shenhe: "..."
Jiang Xiaofeng returned to the King's Box.
" Calliope!"
"What about the food I asked you to make?"
"It's done, it's done!"
Calliope rushed out of a room carrying a plate.
Jiang Xiaofeng rubbed his hands together and took the plate.
"Yes, that's how it's done!"
Jiang Xiaofeng excitedly grabbed a chicken leg and swallowed it whole in one gulp. Then, Jiang Xiaofeng patted Calliope on the shoulder.
"That's more like it! Why are you bodyguards? You'd be much better off as cooks!"
Calliope slapped Jiang Xiaofeng's hand away and said impatiently, "If this stuff wasn't really delicious... the three of us wouldn't willingly become chefs!"
After saying that, Calliope returned to her little house.
Immediately afterwards, Euterpe ran out.
The plate contained long, golden strips.
"Your Majesty, please try this!"
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand to freeze Euterpe, took the two plates from her hands, and released her from the freeze.
"Keep making it, and let the Queen and the others have a taste."
After saying that, Jiang Xiaofeng left the King's Box.
Shenhe was already sitting in a chair outside, waiting for Jiang Xiaofeng.
Jiang Xiaofeng put away the stone tablet and sat down in a chair.
" Shenhe, try this. I call this fries. Want one?"
Shenhe shook his head. "No, I can't eat anything other than Qingxin and the Violetgrass."
"Otherwise, if I taste other foods, I won't be able to concentrate on my cultivation."
Shenhe wanted to remain silent, but Jiang Xiaofeng simply reached out, grabbed Shenhe's cheek, and pinched it, causing Shenhe's mouth to open.
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head and directly picked up a French fry and stuffed it into Shenhe's mouth.
"You!!!"
Shenhe's eyes widened, and he subconsciously took a bite...
Give me a little more...
Shenhe sat down on the chair next to him, his face flushed, and said in a low voice.
Jiang Xiaofeng chuckled and handed him another plate of fries, "You don't look like you've lost your emotions. Is the power of the red string so harsh that it can't even withstand the slightest damage?"
Shenhe shook his head. "I don't know either..."
As he spoke, Shenhe popped a French fry into his mouth.
Jiang Xiaofeng asked, "So you're not going to suppress your appetite anymore?"
Shenhe glanced at Jiang Xiaofeng: "You're the one who fed me all this. If I can't concentrate on my cultivation in the future, I'll rely on you to make me eat all this."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
Why do they all seem to like throwing money at each other...?
Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel ashamed.
but...
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Shenhe's figure and clothes, feeling secretly pleased.
I don't object to it...
I'm not the one who's going to suffer a loss...
So, while a group of people were busily preparing for the Rite of Descension, Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe leaned against their chairs, crunching on fries and chicken legs, constantly stimulating those who were working.
The people working nearby couldn't complain, so they had to endure the discomfort and continue working.
Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe didn't leave until noon.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If they continue to interfere like this, it will be impossible to get any work done.
This behavior isn't illegal, but it's fucking immoral!
This is just disgusting!
Everyone was relieved that they could finally get some work done.
What about Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe?
The two went to Bubu Pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs that Shenhe might not be able to take...
