Holy Lord from Teyvat

Chapter 231 Intrigue at the Dinner Table

The moon rose to the zenith, casting its soft silver light on Liyue Harbor, covering the city with a layer of silver gauze.

Although Liyue Harbor at this time no longer has the hustle and bustle of the day, it is still full of vitality.

Children chased each other with laughter under the moonlight, and their laughter was the most energetic note in the night. At the roadside stalls, people of all kinds toasted and drank, and the laughter and the aroma of wine intertwined, filled with the fireworks of life. Tourists dressed in exotic costumes shuttled among them, bringing with them the exotic customs. Businessmen were in the private rooms of the big restaurants, admiring the street scenes while negotiating, and the sound of money colliding could be heard faintly. The Qianyan Army patrolled the streets and alleys, intimidating the scoundrels in the dark...

In this vibrant night scene, Shen He, a cool beauty with an air of fairy and a proud figure, and Mona, a beautiful astrologer who is also wearing tight clothes, walk slowly on the street, forming a moving beauty that attracts a lot of attention.

"Shen He, you seem to be in a bad mood." Mona asked as they walked.

Shen He nodded: "Well, I feel a little sad when I think about you leaving."

Mona had a smile on her face: "Don't be like this, Shen He, think about it, with Zheng Tian's ability, we can go back to our age, maybe a few days after we leave, you will see us on the street again."

"Besides, your mother, your senior sister Ganyu, and Xiangling, who you just met, are all in the city. There are even many people in the Tianheng Taoist sect who welcome your return. You can make a lot of friends here, and you won't be lonely."

Shen He denied it, "No, I don't feel lonely. I have my mother, Ganyu, Yaoyao, Xiangling, Guoba, Master Mao, and even many people from the Exorcist family welcome me. I don't feel lonely as I have been able to practice in the mountains for many years."

She paused, then added: "I just can't bear to part with you guys."

Mona's expression froze.

No, how do you respond to this?

Shen He didn't notice anything wrong with Mona.

"You have helped me a lot, just like Senior Sister Gan Yu, who cared about me despite being busy. We helped each other, especially Zheng Tian... He gave me the most amazing feeling. He was the one who cared about everyone the most. He was also the one who brought my mother back. Until now, I am afraid that this is a dream, a dream that I don't want to wake up from."

Shen He felt emotional. On the next trip up the mountain, she not only made true friends, but one of them also brought her mother back to life without asking for anything in return.

From now on, she is no longer an orphan. She has a mother again, a mother who can hold her in her arms and call her daughter every day.

"If it's not inconvenient, I would probably ask to go with you." Shen He continued

Mona: "Ah, this is indeed not possible. Shen He, you have just reunited with your mother, but it's okay, we will come back to see you often."

Shen He suddenly stopped and said, "Just send it here, you should go back."

Mona: "Well, be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye, the two left.

It’s just that Mona was a little distressed, and she originally wanted to comfort Shen He.

After a while, Mona became even more annoyed when she returned.

"What?! She cooked it herself?!"

After receiving the news from Zheng Tian, ​​Mona put on a mask of pain.

……

Three days later, in the courtyard of the Hall of Rebirth.

Several people gathered around the table, looking at the golden shrimp balls that Hu Tao had just served, and were hesitant to pick up their chopsticks.

Walnut blinked and said, "Eat, why don't you guys continue eating?"

Of course, there won't be only one person cooking for today's dinner party. Besides, Hu Tao's cooking skills are not good, so she is slow to cook. She can only make two or three dishes in total. So just now, while Hu Tao went back to the kitchen several times to cook or serve dishes, everyone tacitly cooperated with Zheng Tian and slowly threw the dishes cooked by Hu Tao into the small space.

I would like to thank Xiangling here. If it weren’t for her outstanding cooking skills that squeezed Hutao’s workload, there wouldn’t necessarily be only three dishes.

Hu Walnut didn't get hurt and thought everyone liked the food she cooked, so she was very happy.

But this golden shrimp ball was the last dish of this dinner, which meant that Walnut, who was not the chef in the first place, had to sit down!

Xiangling, Guoba and Zhong Chen in the kitchen secretly poked their heads out to take a look, then shrank back with a look of relief on their faces.

We still have a few dishes to prepare, you guys go on and don’t leave any for us.

Yun Jin calmly drank a sip of tea.

As an opera singer, she was very particular about her daily diet and was often troubled by it. But today she was very lucky because she could refuse with a clear reason. Now she was the audience and the others were the ones performing the show.

Then, Zheng Tian, ​​Kong, Paimeng, Mona, Zhongli, Xingqiu, Chongyun, and Xinyan looked at each other.

Looking at Hu Tao's somewhat excited eyes, Zheng Tian's heart softened.

Damn, let's fight! Anyway, with the power of the horse charm, even if this thing is poison, so what? At most it will taste a little unpalatable, no big deal.

Zheng Tian plucked up his courage, picked up a piece of golden shrimp ball, put it in his mouth and started chewing, then he widened his eyes.

The strange and unpalatable taste instantly swept over his taste buds, making him almost vomit.

But after looking at Hu Tao who was obviously happier, Zheng Tian tried his best not to show any discomfort. He chewed a few times despite the taste, then quickly swallowed it, and quickly picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea.

The taste of this cup of tea is not important, but it is important that it can wash away the taste of these strange golden shrimp balls.

"Not bad, these golden shrimp balls taste pretty good." He said against his conscience.

If his expression hadn't been a little forced before, perhaps two people would have believed it.

Hu Tao, who was so excited, didn't notice that everyone's eyes suddenly turned into looking at Zheng Tian as if they were a hero.

But then, Zheng Tian said something that made most of them turn green in the face.

"Come on, everyone, come on, eat. I can't be the only one enjoying this delicious food, right, Walnut?"

For the sake of effect, Zheng Tian gritted his teeth and picked up another piece of golden shrimp ball.

Unless I tell you the truth, you will have to eat it.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Byd, just eat if you want, why did you call us along?

As expected, Walnut looked at everyone again.

Xin Yan was the first to soften her heart. She swallowed her saliva, plucked up the courage to pick up a piece of golden shrimp ball and put it in her mouth. In an instant, she was about to cry.

Chongyun followed closely behind, quickly finishing a piece of golden shrimp ball and then quickly drinking tea.

Xingqiu picked up a piece of golden shrimp ball and seemed to be about to take a bite, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Chongyun beside him and said, "What? Chongyun, you said you really like it? Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll give it to you."

As he said this, he quickly placed the golden shrimp balls in the small bowl in front of Chongyun, and then whispered, "What are you thanking me for? We are friends. Let's eat."

The sound was quite small, but not too small either. At least Hu Tao could definitely hear it.

Chongyun: (O_o)??

Looking at Hu Tao and the smiling Xing Qiu, Chongyun, who had been trying to refuse, had to accept the loss and reluctantly said thank you.

Paimon, who was about to eat the golden shrimp ball, brightened up when he saw this. He looked to Sora on his right, ready to learn how to do it on the spot, but he saw Sora eating a golden shrimp ball with chopsticks in one hand and covering the bowl tightly with the other.

She looked at Mona on the left again, and Mona was eating golden shrimp balls while pinching Zheng Tian's waist hard.

There was no choice. Paimon, who didn't want to provoke Mona again, had to swallow the golden shrimp ball.

Zhongli smiled upon seeing this, and then ate the remaining few pieces of golden shrimp balls without changing his expression under Yunjin's admiring gaze.

What everyone didn't know was that he directly coated the food with a layer of rock crystal particles after it entered his mouth to isolate it from the mouth and esophagus. It was even easy for him to eat it whole and spit it out on the spot if he wanted to.

He, Morax, has a lot of unique skills.
