Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe arrived at Bubu Pharmacy.
Fortunately, Qiqi was there too.
Jiang Xiaofeng reached out and patted Qiqi's head.
" Qiqi is so cute."
Qiqi looked up blankly, seemingly unaware of what Jiang Xiaofeng was doing.
"Half a pound of Qingxin, half a pound of Violetgrass."
Jiang Xiaofeng said to Herbalist Gui, the shop assistant standing beside him.
Shenhe looked at the pile of medicinal herbs. "..."
What should I do if I suddenly feel like I don't want to eat?
Jiang Xiaofeng stood behind Shenhe Shenhe and smiled at him.
No one can resist the temptation of fried food, not even an immortal.
Jiang Xiaofeng walked over and asked, "Can you eat?"
To everyone's surprise, Shenhe grabbed Qingxin and put her in his mouth as soon as Jiang Xiaofeng finished speaking.
Then, bite by bite, he finished all the medicinal herbs...
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
No, you don't have to force yourself to eat it just to save face!
Jiang Xiaofeng watched helplessly as Shenhe ate all the medicinal herbs...
Then, he said to Jiang Xiaofeng, "Let's go."
Jiang Xiaofeng shrugged.
This is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me.
Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe left Bubu Pharmacy and began to wander the streets of Liyue.
"I almost forgot."
Jiang Xiaofeng suddenly remembered something and went up the stairs next to him to the second floor.
Shenhe followed closely behind.
Jiang Xiaofeng bought all the books here...
What? Xingqiu has no books to read?
Why doesn't he just buy the book himself? What's the point of him freeloading here?
We're not leaving any for him!
Jiang Xiaofeng put the book into his backpack and called to Shenhe, who had followed him, that they returned to the Northland Bank.
Jiang Xiaofeng immediately took out the Tale of Shiruyeh and Shirin and began to examine it.
Shenhe sat in a chair with his eyes closed, resting...
The La Signora and Childe didn't show up all afternoon, and the bank manager was behind the counter, barely daring to breathe...
Although Jiang Xiaofeng really wanted to ask the manager why he was so afraid of him, he stopped himself several times when he tried to get up.
Why should I care what he does? I didn't do anything...
And so, in this eerie silence, Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe stayed at the Northland Bank until nightfall...
However, the manager told Jiang Xiaofeng that he was closing down, so Jiang Xiaofeng and Shenhe had no choice but to leave Northland Bank.
At this point, Jiang Xiaofeng was in a dilemma.
Shenhe, do you have a place to stay?
Jiang Xiaofeng asked Shenhe uncertainly.
As expected, Shenhe shook his head.
"Alright, I'll take you to the inn."
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't want to avoid the nearby inns, but they were all full, and Jiang Xiaofeng didn't want to go through the trouble of building another house inside the King's Box...
So they had no choice but to teleport Shenhe to Wangshu Inn for the night.
Then, Verr Goldet saw Jiang Xiaofeng bring a woman with an ethereal, otherworldly air to the inn.
Verr Goldet: "..."
After Jiang Xiaofeng booked a room for Shenhe, Verr Goldet whispered to Jiang Xiaofeng, "Boss, is this person next to you an immortal?"
Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.
"An immortal... she probably doesn't qualify."
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng also left.
Jiang Xiaofeng walked to Shenhe's room, pushed open the door, and went inside.
"Don't get me wrong, I just need a place to put my things."
Jiang Xiaofeng said something to the puzzled Shenhe, then took out the King's Box and jumped inside.
Shenhe: "..."
Fortunately, the King's Box was soundproof; otherwise, Jiang Xiaofeng would have doubted whether Shenhe could sleep at night...
Nothing more was said that night...
The next day, Jiang Xiaofeng, feeling refreshed, teleported back to Liyue Harbor with Shenhe, ready to watch the Rite of Descension.
Jiang Xiaofeng immediately embraced Shenhe and flew towards the place where the Rite of Descension take place.
Shenhe was held in Jiang Xiaofeng's arms, and remained motionless.
Jiang Xiaofeng would never admit that he had forgotten about the existence of the Teleport Waypoint!
The two arrived at the location for the Rite of Descension. As usual, Jiang Xiaofeng took out two chairs, and he and Shenhe each sat down.
The group preparing for the final steps of the Rite of Descension: "..."
Suddenly noticing Ningguang over there. "..."
And then there were Ying and Paimon, who had just come up to make a wish in front of the incense burner. "..."
"You... what are you doing here?"
Paimon spoke first.
"I'd like to join in the fun of the Rite of Descension."
"How was your journey? How's the weapon I gave you?"
Ying thought about the bloody scene after Jiang Xiaofeng's weapon killed the Hilichurl...
Ying forced a smile and said, "The weapon is not bad..."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded and held up the plate in his hand. "Want to try some?"
Ying looked at the golden fries and took one to try.
Paimon also took one.
Jiang Xiaofeng immediately put away the plates. "It's time to begin."
Paimon quickly stuffed the fries into his mouth and followed Ying, who had squeezed past.
Shenhe frowned slightly as he watched the Rite of Descension proceed.
Something doesn't feel right.
Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at Shenhe in surprise.
"That's definitely not right, you noticed?"
Shenhe nodded.
"No matter how unhappy the Rex Lapis is, he won't descend in this weather to begin the Rite of Descension."
"This time, the Rite of Descension will most likely involve..."
Before Shenhe could finish speaking, a dark golden five-clawed dragon descended from the sky and crashed into the center of the platform.
"... Something happened..."
Shenhe the Big Eye at the falling dragon, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Yes, congratulations on guessing correctly."
" Rex Lapis has crashed."
Jiang Xiaofeng put away his chair and looked at Ningguang had come forward to check on Shenlong's condition.
"The woman's next sentence was--"
"The Emperor has been assassinated! Lock down the entire area!" ×2
Jiang Xiaofeng patted Shenhe on the shoulder.
"Let's go, this is no longer our business."
"Should we go back and see your master?"
Shenhe hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"I think I'll stay in Liyue Harbor a little longer..."
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, and was about to continue speaking when he suddenly noticed several Millelith approaching.
"A suspicious foreigner... This guy's got something fishy going on, let's go!"
Jiang Xiaofeng: "?"
A flash of black light emanated from Jiang Xiaofeng, sending the charging Millelith flying.
"Okay, Shenhe, you should leave first. If it really doesn't work out, you can stay at the Northland Bank for a while."
"I have other things to do."
After saying that, Jiang Xiaofeng flew to the center of the Rite of Descension.
After listening, Shenhe did not show any sign of wanting to stand with Jiang Xiaofeng, but instead drew a talisman and disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Xiaofeng arrived beside the dragon.
Ningguang watched Jiang Xiaofeng approach, the Solar Pearl appeared in her hand, and she shouted, "Who goes there? How dare you attempt to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor!"
Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at Ningguang.
"You're really putting on an act right now, Miss Ningguang."
Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand and drew out a small portion of the divine power from the Exuvia created by the Rex Lapis. After sensing it, he sighed.
"This force is still not enough... It seems we need to continue with the plan..."
After he finished speaking, a spatial portal opened behind Jiang Xiaofeng, swallowing Jiang Xiaofeng up.
Before leaving, Jiang Xiaofeng raised a middle finger at Ningguang.
Jiang Xiaofeng was teleported to the Northland Bank.
Shenhe didn't come here; I don't know where he went.
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't bother looking for him and simply sat down in the chair.
After a while, Ying and the Childe pushed open the door and entered the Northland Bank...
