Playing house in the anime world

"...Aiko, are you okay..."

"It's okay."

"...Aiko, can you still...walk..."

"Sure. Are you tired, Paimon? Do you want to take a break?"

"No, no, no! I'm not tired! I just can't keep up..."

Paimeng looked at Ganyu's back as she rode away in front of him, and felt the pain in his phantom limb from flying.

"Do you want me to hold you?" Ying said maliciously from the side.

"I'm really not tired! It's just that Ganyu is running too fast! I can't keep up with her speed..."

Paimon tried to fly a little faster, but she was already flying fast enough.

And the fact that Gojo Aiko can keep up with this speed is really surprising, right? !

If Paimon didn't know that her Wind Elemental God's Eye was fake, he would have suspected that she was secretly using the wind element to speed up her feet!

"We're here." Ganyu in front stopped.

In fact, they "cheated" a bit in the middle. Except for Ganyu, all of them sat in the Chen Ge Pot, and then Ganyu took the Chen Ge Pot over mountains and across rivers to Jueyunjian.

Although no one knows how Ganyu did it, she reached Jueyunjian from Liyue Harbor in just ten minutes. Judging from the map, if an ordinary person traveled this distance normally, it would take at least several days.

Aiko Gojo also guessed that Ganyu might be an immortal herself, so she might have flown to Jueyunjian in a way similar to riding on clouds.

However, after arriving at Jueyunjian, they did not continue to "fly" up, but walked all the way to Qingyunding and Aozang Mountain, which was also a kind of respect for the immortals.

The mountains in the Jueyunjian area are very steep, but there is a road leading up the mountain. Along the way, there are misty clouds and rugged rocks. It really looks like a place where immortals live in seclusion.

When you reach the top of the mountain, you will see a lake.

"This... It seems that we came at an inopportune time. The True Lord seems not to be here..." Ganyu discovered that the True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng, whom they were looking for, was not here.

Aiko Gojo looked left and right and found a small island in the lake, as well as trees, tables and chairs. It looked very comfortable.

"Can I sit over there?" She wanted to go over there and take a look.

"Of course." Ganyu watched Gojo Aiko run to the small island in the lake by stepping on the stones in the lake as if she was floating on the water.

Paimon originally wanted to follow, but then suddenly remembered that they were here to do serious business.

"How about we go visit the other immortals?" Ganyu began to discuss with Ying and Paimeng.

The reason why they came to Jueyunjian to visit the immortal this time was mainly to ask one thing.

The ancestor of Mr. Dvorak, the musician from Fontaine, once came to Liyue, but accidentally fell into the water and almost drowned.

At the critical moment, he suddenly heard a melodious music. The music was so beautiful that it even made him forget that he was about to drown.

When he came to his senses, he found that he had returned to the shore without knowing when, and a strange woman was standing not far from him.

Seeing that he was fine, the woman who looked very elegant left without saying a word.

He wanted to catch up with her to thank her, but he couldn't catch up with the girl no matter what. The distance between him and the girl seemed to always be a fixed dozen steps.

Because of this incident, Dvořák's ancestor became interested in music. He played musical instruments, sang poems, and made stories about his experiences, which became legends in Fontaine.

Dvorak's descendant is also very interested in this story. This time he wants to conduct a rainbow tour in Liyue. He also hopes to find some clues about the woman his ancestor once met.

Through Dvorak's description, everyone agreed that the woman was most likely an immortal, so they wanted to find the immortals they knew and ask them if they knew anything.

However, Paimon didn't want to run anymore, so she had a good idea.

After some discussion, Ying showed a speechless expression, then nodded helplessly.

"Aiko! Aiko!" Paimon flew to Gojo Aiko's side, "Ahem, we're going to put on a little show later, pretending to fall into the water..."

Gojo Aiko didn't understand, but nodded anyway: "Do you want me to help you call for help?"

However, she saw that the lake did not seem to be very deep, and there were many lotus flowers in the lake, as well as stones that seemed to be deliberately carved into auspicious cloud patterns. In such a lake, it is still a little difficult to fall into the water. After all, as long as you have some swimming skills or know some first aid knowledge, you should not let yourself drown.

But since it's just acting, there's no need to delve into such details.

"Hey, you don't have to shout for help, you can just shout for help!" Paimon rubbed his hands and waved to Ying who was standing on a rock in the lake.

Then Ying jumped into the water with a splash and swam to the center of the lake.

Paimon immediately began to cry for help: "Help - help -"

Aiko Gojo listened to her perfunctory cry for help and was hesitant to speak.

You don't sound anxious at all?

But very quickly, very quickly, before Paimon could even shout a few words, a figure swooped down from the sky and rescued Ying who was struggling in the center of the lake.

Is this the immortal? Gojo Aiko looked at the boy with dark green hair and the woman with long white hair.

This person looks similar to an ordinary person, and doesn't even have the unusual horns on his head like Sister Ganyu.

But the attire of both of them does look very unusual, and they both have divine eyes.

"What's going on?" Xiao was a little confused. When he heard Paimeng's cry for help, he thought something big had happened, but...

Shen He looked worried: "How do you feel?"

"Uh, this..." Ganyu suddenly felt extremely ashamed, "Shen He, the Great Sage who conquers demons..."

Paimeng also felt a little embarrassed. She looked left and right. Ganyu was too embarrassed to speak, and Ying also lowered her head and said nothing. It was over. Was she going to have to explain herself? !

In the end, it was Paimon who took it all.

Because Dvosak's ancestors were rescued after falling into the water, they also pretended to fall into the water, maybe they could attract the legendary woman who was suspected to be an immortal.

After explaining the matter of Dvorak, Xiao immediately said that it was not him, and Shen He also said that he was not an immortal.

So even though the two of them rescued Ying who fell into the water, neither of them was the immortal they were looking for.

"Woo woo woo, we know this. The immortal should be a woman..." Paimon has never been so embarrassed. "I wouldn't have come up with such a stupid idea..."

Aiko Gojo scratched her head. Paimon is really a smart little boy.

"Aizi, I hope I didn't scare you." Ying suddenly felt that she shouldn't have brought Gojo Aiko here today. She hoped that she didn't scare her.

Gojo Aiko shook her head: "No, Sister Paimon's acting is so fake, I'm not scared at all!"

"Ahem, I'll never do that again..." Paimon scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Go change your clothes first." Gojo Aiko saw that water was still dripping from Ying's hair, but for some reason, when she saw this scene, she suddenly had an urge to swim.

Ying went to Chen Gehu to change clothes, and the remaining people looked at each other.

Paimon secretly hid behind Gojo Aiko and then suddenly remembered that he had not had time to introduce her.

"Aiko, this is Miss Shen He. She is a disciple of the Immortal Family, but she is not an Immortal. And this is the Great Demon-Subduing Sage 'Xiao'!" Paimon pointed at Gojo Aiko again, "This is Gojo Aiko, the wandering adventurer who just came to Liyue! A new friend we just met!"

"Hello, Sister Shenhe, Brother Xiao!" Gojo Aiko looked at Xiao for a few more seconds. There was a tattoo-like pattern on his arm! It was the cool and cool flower-armed boy Xianren Brother!

Xiao nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Hello." Shen He was a little confused, "But what is a wandering adventurer?"

"It means that you don't belong to any country and you can live wherever you go!" Gojo Aiko suddenly found that the color of Shenhe's eyes was very interesting, it felt like they were colorful?

Xiao's eye color is basically the same as Gojo Aiko's, which is golden.

"So that's how it is. Then you can celebrate the Lantern Festival in Liyue." Shen He and Gan Yu took the opportunity to talk about the Lantern Festival again.

Ying changed her clothes and came out soon. After chatting for a few more words, Xiao left first.

"Wow!" Aiko Gojo looked at Xiao who disappeared in a flash with a look of curiosity.

Is this the power of the Eye of God, or the power of the Immortal himself?

Xiao's Divine Eye is of the wind element, so maybe Namikaze Minato can use the Divine Eye of the wind element to pretend that his Flying Thunder God Jutsu is the effect of the wind element!

Ying and Shen He started talking about finding the immortal again. Gojo Aiko couldn't help with this matter, so she went to watch the fish nearby.

There are many beautiful fish in this lake, colorful, but they don’t look very tasty.

"Aizi, wait here for a while, we have something to do over there!" Paimeng shouted from afar. This is the entrance to the immortal cave, and there is no danger, so it is okay to let Gojo Aiko stay here alone.

"Okay--" Gojo Aiko responded, then ran back to the small island in the lake.

There is a big tree on the island, and next to it is a stone table with some teapots, bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as three stone benches.

"There seem to be words carved on the stone bench..." Gojo Aiko carefully identified it, "This is the Immortal Liuyun... The immortal who lives here is called Liuyun? Sitting here forever, is he a friend of the immortal Liuyun? And finally... This is the Emperor!"

The Emperor should be referring to Emperor Yanwang, so this immortal named "Liuyun" should also be a friend of Emperor Yanwang.

But why "borrow"? Is it a joke between friends... like jokingly saying "I'll lend you a seat here"?

Moreover, only the seat lent to the Emperor had nothing on it, while the other two seats had bowls and chopsticks on them!

Does this mean that Emperor Rock King will bring his own tableware?

Aiko Gojo thought about it and realized that if Mr. Zhongli was really the Geo King, then he did look like the kind of person who would bring his own set of exquisite tableware to eat here.

But there is nothing here now, it looks quite lonely.

Aiko Gojo touched her pocket and found a piece of her favorite strawberry chocolate in it, so she gave it to Emperor Rock as a snack!

Aiko Gojo placed the chocolate on the empty space and then set her eyes on the lotus flowers and leaves in the lake.

"If there are lotus pods... then there should be lotus seeds, right?" Gojo Aiko's hands were itching to move. "Come to think of it, didn't Uncle Zhongli say he wanted to make some lotus seed candy last night? I don't know what kind of candy it is... How about picking a fresh lotus pod for him?"

Just consider it as a souvenir!

Aiko Gojo picked the largest and fullest lotus pod. After taking it off, she remembered that this was the territory of immortals. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to pick lotus pods from the Immortal Lake like this?

"Humph, you are quite picky."

A voice suddenly came from above.

Aiko Gojo turned her head and saw a blue crane standing on a big tree looking at her.

"Sister...sister?" Gojo Aiko called out tentatively.

"Hmph, you should call me 'Master Liuyun'." Master Liuyun Jiefeng stretched out his wings and pointed at the place next to Gojo Aiko, "That lotus pod is better."

Aiko Gojo turned her head in confusion. There was indeed a big lotus pod next to her, but she saw that the lotus pod in her hand was easier to pick, so she chose this one.

"Take the lotus pod and leave quickly!" Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun seemed to have heard some noise, flapped his wings, and flew away.

"..." Gojo Aiko scratched her head and turned to pick the better lotus pod.

This should be considered as the permission of the immortal, right? Then why not... pick two more?

I heard that there are many ways to eat lotus seeds. They can be used to make porridge, soup, and sugar water. They should also be delicious when made into chocolate.

After picking a few lotus pods and putting them into the space, Gojo Aiko returned to the island in the lake.

"Will there not be enough for just one piece of strawberry chocolate?" Aiko Gojo looked left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, she took out a portion of milk pudding from the space.

“Isn’t it too partial to give it to only the Emperor?” Gojo Aizi took out another portion of smoked fish. He wondered if True Lord Liuyunjiefeng, who looked like a crane, would like to eat fish?

As for the last one, Gojo Aiko gave him a portion of Xiangling's special edition of glutinous rice balls stuffed with slime gel.

Although the taste of slime gel is very strange, if it is made into a sandwich and then flavored, it becomes much more acceptable.

Even after changing to an iced flavor at Zhongli's suggestion, the slime ice dumplings actually tasted pretty good.

No one knows whether this immortal Guizhong is a man or a woman, a fairy bird or a dragon. In short, if he doesn't like the slime ice balls, he can only steal the strawberry chocolate and milk pudding from Emperor Rock.

After putting her things down, Gojo Aiko sat in the seat of Rock King Emperor and took out a Dun Dun Peach.

"Hmm...it's crispy and sweet!" Aiko Gojo took a bite and found that it did taste a little like peach, but the texture was slightly different.

"Aiko! We're here to pick you up!"

Paimon flew over from a distance.

"Huh - I ran a long way, but I finally solved half of the problem!" Paimeng was a little confused when he saw a pile of food on the table, "Are these things... offered to Master Liuyun Jiefeng?"
