Original God's Dark Priest

"Was Keqing feeling embarrassed just now? Looking at her usual appearance, I didn't expect that there would be people she couldn't handle." Watching Keqing trotting further and further away, little Paimon sighed softly.

Yingye nodded with deep understanding: "Is this the mask?"

"Mask? What do you mean? Is Keqing wearing a mask?" Little Paimon couldn't understand what Ying meant and was a little confused.

Ying glanced at the little guy with a smile and shook his head: "I'm talking about a state. No one can do everything. If so, it can only mean that he is trying to be strong. In fact, most of us are. That’s right, there’s always a reason why you have to do it.”

"Is that so? But I didn't feel it at all." Little Paimon pinched his chin and recalled hard.

Ying silently looked at her friend who was thinking hard, but did not answer her question, and instead told a story: "Safir told me an anecdote. She said that angels do not grow over time. As time goes by, they will only grow up quickly after witnessing and experiencing enough suffering.

If you see an angel who looks like a child, it does not necessarily mean that he is young, it only means that he is well protected. "

"It's such a strange existence. Do angels... really exist?" Little Paimon blinked his eyes, endless reverie filling his heart.

Ying raised her head and looked at the night sky above her head: "I don't know, I thought this was strange before, but now I seem to understand that what she wanted to say was actually 'people'."

Innocence belongs exclusively to the protected, and growth is the process from simplicity to complexity. Little Paimon is able to maintain such innocence probably because she is well protected.

Thinking like this, Ying showed a soft smile: "Paimon is also my little angel."

"Eh? Why did you suddenly say such a thing?" Little Paimon didn't know what Ying was thinking, and felt a little embarrassed.

Ying couldn't help laughing, and then walked towards Wanmin Hall first: "Okay, let's go find Xiangling."

"Wait...wait for me!" Little Paimon quickly followed. Two figures, one large and one small, are walking in the brightly lit Liyue Port in the night. Their journey is far from over, and their story is also continuing to write a new chapter.

Seeing Ying and little Paimon arriving, Xiang Ling asked them to sit down: "You guys sit down for a while while I pack up and see if there are any ingredients that need to be replenished."

"Xiang Ling, can I ask you a few words?" Seeing Xiang Ling's smile, Ying felt that she still needed to help Keqing seriously.

Little Paimon glanced at Ying and hesitated: "Are we going to start asking now?"

Ying nodded, very sure.

Xiangling was a little puzzled by the two people's anomalies and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Emmmm, let's let Paimon do the talking." Although Ying raised the topic, she didn't like to talk too much, so she directly gave the explanation to Paimon.

Little Paimeng held up his forehead and was very helpless: "Aren't you going to ask? You actually threw it to me!"

But when he saw Ying squinting her eyes and leaning on her hips, with an expression of indignity, little Paimon still gave in: "That's right, just now at Wangshu Inn, we found that you and Ke Qing get along very well. Do you like this very much? Oh my friend?"

When Keqing was mentioned, Xiangling immediately perked up and admitted decisively: "Yes, Keqing has a good personality and is easy to get along with. Everyone likes to associate with this type of person, right?"

In Xiangling's view, avoiding Keqing is incomprehensible behavior.

Little Paimon couldn't help but admire her a little: "You are so awesome... When I saw Keqing for the first time, I thought there was someone very difficult to deal with..."

"She is indeed very powerful." Ying also nodded in agreement. The first time she saw Keqing was on the battlefield of the crusade against Osel. At that time, Keqing was decisive in killing and led the Qianyan Army to constantly repel the enemy. The offense is very reliable.

Xiangling frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head: "Is that so? I felt from the first time I met her that she was a very talkative person. Just now at the inn, she even secretly fed Guo Ba delicious food. You guys Didn’t you notice?”

"We definitely know she's a nice person, we're just talking about first impressions." Little Paimon began to emphasize.

Xiangling thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "If I really want to talk about the first impression...well, Safire seems to give people a more terrifying feeling."

She still remembered that the first time she met Safire, it was the opening of the Moonlight Tavern, and she followed him to have a meal.

She originally planned to walk around when she heard that it was the property of the Fools, but who knew that Ying just grabbed her and ran in. Then she unexpectedly met Yun Jin and Xin Yan, but Guo Ba's behavior at that time scared her quite a bit.

Fortunately, Safire didn't have any ill intentions towards Guo Ba, and even made something for it to eat. At that time, Xiang Ling was so scared that her legs went weak.

From the first moment they met, Xiang Ling felt that Safiir's body exuded a vague murderous aura, which would not happen if there were dozens of lives on his hands. This was why Xiang Ling was so scared. .

Mentioning this matter, Ying also recalled the first time he met Safiir in Mondstadt. At that time, his recklessness led to the failure of Safiir and Wendy's plan to save Tevalin.

That time, Ying clearly remembered that the expression on Wendy's face was filled with murderous intent. She had no doubt that given the guy's mood at that time, he might just kill her.

But he was persuaded by Safier's two words. It seemed that he was saved by Safiir at the first meeting.

Thinking of this, Ying felt a little sweet in her heart. Did that guy always value her so much?

"Oh, forget it, by the way, have you ever eaten sea shells? Sea shells are actually difficult to open, but they are very delicious after roasting." Xiang Ling felt that the topic had strayed, and quickly changed the topic back.

When it came to food, little Paimon immediately became interested: "I've seen a lot of shells, roast them and eat them...it seems like they haven't been eaten yet..."

"Then I'll bake it for you next time! Anyway, that's how they are. They may be hard to get close to at first sight, but with a little familiarity you can discover their gentle side.

Besides, Guoba secretly ate the food Keqing ordered, and she was willing to take care of Guoba. I am very grateful to her. "

Xiangling said, her eyes falling on Guoba beside her. To her, Guoba was like a family member. Keqing's willingness to take care of Guoba was the greatest kindness to her.

After hearing Xiang Ling's answer, little Paimon finally understood, nodded and said: "I see." After saying that, she tugged on Ying's sleeve again, "Ying, do you think Xiang Ling has a very accurate intuition?" Where is the person? Is it because of this that you have been clinging to Keqing from the beginning?"

"Probably." Ying couldn't explain clearly. She felt that Xiang Ling had a strange quality, which seemed to easily make others exude kindness. In Liyue, this probably meant the so-called deep blessing and deep immortality.

After all, she is Grandma Ping's disciple, and ordinary people cannot become a disciple of Grandma Ping.

After answering Ying's doubts, Xiangling took out her own recipe and began to think about the ingredients: "There are still carrots and crabs left, as well as ham and mushrooms... Hmm, I wonder what recipe Keqing will give me?"

While they were waiting quietly, there was a noise outside the door of Wanmin Hall. Little Paimon frowned and muttered: "It's suddenly so noisy outside!"

"What happened?" Xiangling ran out of the door quickly. As soon as she went out, she stared at a crane with big eyes and small eyes. She couldn't help being frightened, "Ah! What a big bird!"

"Ah! It's that woman!" Little Paimon recognized the other person's identity immediately and exclaimed.

The person who came was none other than True Lord Liuyun Borrowing the Wind in the form of a crane. When he heard little Paimon calling him, he immediately retorted: "How presumptuous! What a woman! I have a name and surname, True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind."

"Liu Yun borrows the wind...this name sounds like an immortal..." Xiang Ling looked at the crane in front of her and said thoughtfully.

Lord Liuyun borrowed the wind and nodded her crane head: "Yes, since you are a little girl with good eyesight, I won't care about the offense just now."

"Long time no see, Zhenjun." Only then did Ying have time to say hello to Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng.

Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng also responded: "Long time no see, traveler. Judging from your appearance, are you running for the Zhuyue Festival?"

"You can say..." In fact, Ying feels quite strange now. In fact, she and Xianyun have met quite often. The last time was the Ruotuo incident. It has been such a long time, but it feels like they haven't seen each other for a long time. But she didn't quite understand why this guy showed up in the form of a crane.

She probably didn't want to expose Xianyun's identity as an immortal, but with this guy's urine, she always felt that there were quite a few people who knew that Xianyun was an immortal. Forget it, it was better not to worry about what this big bird thought. In short, She convinced herself.

"Oh, even famous travelers have been called to participate in the Moon-Chasing Festival. This year's theme really shouldn't be underestimated." Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng said with a hint of playfulness in his tone, and glanced at Guoba who was hiding behind Xiangling. .

Xiang Ling still clearly remembers the theme of this time: "Does it mean food and mountains and rivers?"

"Yes, during the Zhuyue Festival, all the ingredients are ripe, and it is a great time to enjoy delicious food. Seeing that you have made the festival a great one, I must not be idle."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun raised his head and said calmly, "When it comes to food and cooking, my skills and ingenuity are as good as anyone's! I am here to show the world my new mechanism. Cooking magic machine.”

Xiang Ling could understand every word of these words, but the combination was a bit unclear. She stumbled and repeated: "Mechanical cooking...what?"

Finding that she couldn't repeat it, she looked at little Paimon again. The name of the little guy's Mouth of God was still trustworthy.

"What is the magic cooking machine?" Little Paimon was also very puzzled.

Ying thought for a while and guessed: "Is it a new invention?"

Seeing the doubtful and puzzled expressions on the three of them, Lord Liuyun Jiefeng suddenly felt confident, raised his head and said: "What's the hurry? I'm just here to say hello. When the time comes, I will open your eyes."

Especially you, Ying. You have some vision when it comes to food. I hope you can be there to cheer me on. "

"This is a roll call invitation, right?" Little Paimon looked at the girl next to him, who shrugged. In fact, they felt that such an invitation was a bit too formal, and they were uncomfortable with it.

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun didn't think so much, and snorted softly: "Huh, just understand in your heart, say it and do it. The words have been brought, it is not suitable to stay in the market place for a long time, waiting for the news of this immortal, see you there or not .”

After that, she spread her wings and left here.

Seeing Lord Liuyun borrowing the wind in the distance, little Paimon sighed: "She is really a woman who comes and goes like the wind...no, a fairy...no, a fairy bird."

"That bird just now seemed to be a big shot, and he was also good at cooking." Xiangling felt that Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun also seemed to be planning to participate in the King of Kitchen Competition, and he added another opponent in his mind.

Little Paimon nodded: "Yes, she likes food very much."

That guy Xianyun's pursuit of delicious food is the most explicit and unabashed among the immortals.

If Safier is relatively stoic in terms of food, then Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun is on the other extreme. She especially likes to eat delicious food, and even to the point where Paimon thinks she can seduce the other party with delicious food in exchange for it. A point of benefit.

But she didn't dare to do it after all, because she was afraid of what kind of punishment she would suffer if she did so.

The three of them were talking, and Keqing walked over from the side: "What are you doing here? The immortal has already left."

"Keqing is back!" Little Paimeng said immediately when he saw Keqing.

Ke Qing quickly walked up to a few people, took a breath, then stood up straight and said: "I kept you waiting, Xiang Ling, this is a recipe written by my grandfather in his notes. It is inconvenient to bring the original copy with you." After leaving home, I wrote a copy for you.

However, my grandfather read the recipe from ancient books. Those books are old and often have defects... So, there are a few omissions in the recipe. I wonder if that matters? "

Due to work reasons, Keqing went home very rarely. Most of the time she went directly to Chengehu to rest. It took her a lot of time to go back and find this recipe this time, but fortunately she found it. .

"Oh! Let me take a look first! Uh-huh...huh!" Xiangling took the recipe handed over by Keqing and opened it carefully. Keqingjuan's beautiful handwriting appeared on the paper, and it was obvious that she copied it very carefully.

After reading it again, Xiang Ling felt something in her heart and said excitedly: "I'll study it later!"

"Thank you!" Keqing felt happy from the bottom of her heart to be able to restore this ancient recipe and help Xiangling.

While Xiang Ling was studying the recipe and several others were watching, a soft and gentle voice rang out: "Ah... um, is everyone here?"

This voice was very familiar, and Ying immediately guessed who it was. Looking back, sure enough, Gan Yu was standing hesitantly not far away, as if he wanted to say something, but was too embarrassed to speak.

Seeing that several people had noticed him, Gan Yu thought for a while and stepped forward: "Sorry to interrupt your conversation... I happened to be shopping nearby and noticed the commotion, so I couldn't help but come over and take a look."

"Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun? I saw her just now. She actually appeared on the street... such a resolute and resolute immortal." Ke Qing looked calm on the surface, but she was not sure what she was planning in her heart.

Gan Yu turned her eyes to the side, wanting to laugh a little, but she didn't dare. She thought, the master was keeping a low profile this time. Last time Liuyun Borrowing Feng Zhenjun, Safire and Grandma Ping had a fight at Yujing Terrace. Wasn't it also your old man who caught him? They were also fined.

Although he was secretly complaining, on the surface, Gan Yu still had no intention of saying such a thing, otherwise A Ping and Xianyun would have died. As for Safire...that guy was probably used to it, so he should be fine.

"Miss Keqing, if you also see her...ah!" Gan Yu suddenly remembered something very important and quickly looked at Keqing, "Can I borrow a little time from you? I have something to say to you."

Ke Qing was a little confused: "Huh? What's the matter? Does Gan Yu have urgent matters?" It stands to reason that the preparations for the Zhuyue Festival have been completed. There should be nothing major at this time. Everyone is quietly waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.

"No, it has nothing to do with work. What I want to ask...are some personal questions...is that okay?" Gan Yu once criticized Ke Qing because she disrespected the emperor, but as they got along with her in the past few years, she was also Keqing was moved by her frank temperament. Among the seven stars, except for Uncle Tian who retired, Keqing was the one who was closer to her.

When she heard that it was a personal issue, Keqing became even more confused. She felt that she had not done anything inappropriate recently, and she didn't know why Gan Yu suddenly came to see her.

As if he didn't notice Ke Qing's troubled expression, Gan Yu repeated: "Is it okay? I, I really asked?"

Realizing that Gan Yu was about to ask a question, Ke Qing immediately cheered up and was ready to be on guard against the other party's attacks.

Gan Yu took a deep breath. After a few seconds, she seemed to have given up. She said:

"I see that Lord Liuyun Jiefeng has been staying here for a long time. Did she tell you... about my childhood?"
