Genshin Impact: Open the door, free trade!

Just when Xiangling was feeling confused, Guoba ran to Kunjun and danced happily.

"Did you come here because you sensed my presence?

Thank you, old friend."

Kunjun squatted down and gave Guoba a hug.

It’s just that Kunjun didn’t show any overly passionate emotional fluctuations.

But the redness in the corners of his eyes also showed that he was not at peace inside.

"Xiangling, go ahead and do your work. This is Kunjun, one of your uncles. He and Guoba have been friends for many years. Let them catch up."

Xiangling was confused when she heard this, but she didn't say much. She sensibly called Kunjun "Uncle Master".

He led everyone to sit down, brought a pot of tea, and went about his own business.

But he always paid some attention to a few people, waiting for the master's instructions.

"You have a good apprentice. Only someone with a good character and a deep love for cooking can keep a Marcosius like this company."

Kunjun calmed down and praised Grandma Ping.

The ancient demon god of Liyue, the god of the hearth, Markosius, was born from the sparks created by the collision of rocks.

It is the land god of Liyue and the demon god closest to humans in Liyue.

Although it is a god, it loves humans the most.

His love for people - perhaps it is the transformation of the responsibility of those with ability and knowledge.

Or perhaps it is the love and empathy that it has for humans as fellow living beings with flesh and blood.

Markosius, the god of the hearth, is committed to his duties as a god and cannot ignore the disasters and diseases on the land of Liyue.

Before the Demon War, he helped the human settlement in Guiliji master the skills of making fire and cooking, and brought cooked food and cooking techniques to humans.

After the Demon-God War, Marcosius repaired the wounds on the land of Liyue in order to save Liyue, which had been severely damaged and shattered by the Demon-God War.

He devoted and overdrawn all of his demonic power and lost most of his intellect.

His figure became less than a person's height, and he entered the secret forest of Liyue and fell into a long sleep...

A girl (Xiangling) went into a cave to avoid the rain while searching for food in the forest alone.

Seeing an altar in the cave, he placed the bacon and steamed buns he had brought with him on it as an offering.

At this time, Marcosius, who was sleeping on the altar, woke up. He saw the spicy meat steamed buns and started to eat them.

Although it no longer remembers that spicy meat steamed buns are a dish it invented, it is still moved by the familiar taste.

He then decided to follow this girl, Xiangling, the daughter of Master Mao, the chief chef of Wanmin Hall.

Xiangling thus made a new friend. Because he liked to eat rice crust, Xiangling named Marcosius, who had forgotten his past, "Rice Crust".

Perhaps it was attracted by Xiangling's cooking, so it always followed her wherever she went, providing her with warmth, fire and help whenever she asked.

Just like a family member, always by her side.

"Xiangling has always had a strong passion for cooking. Perhaps it is because of this that Marcosius is willing to stay with her."

Grandma Ping smiled.

“A Ping, you and I both know that Marcosius will not follow someone so easily.

In the past, she had transformed into thousands of different forms, sneaked into every household, and taught cooking skills.

What he valued was not Xiangling's cooking skills, or rather, not just her cooking skills.

Her outstanding character and character are the reasons why my old friend is willing to stay by her side."

As Kunjun spoke, he looked at Guoba, who was holding a tea bowl and eating, and there was nostalgia and sadness in his tone.

"Don't be so sad. Since the Emperor can restore your sanity, then it is possible for Marcosius to recover as before."

Hearing this, Kunjun couldn't help but look at Zhongli, with an expectant look in his eyes.

He was so sad about his old friend's current situation that he forgot that he had once been in the same situation.

Zhongli picked up the teacup, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Su Qian narrowed his eyes.

As the demon god of dreams who controls emotions, he sensed the scent of fun.

As expected, Zhongli’s next words almost made him spit out the tea in his mouth, but he endured it with great difficulty.

"My friend, I can't do anything now."

Zhongli looked sad and sighed.

"You already know about the current trade between Liyue and the Myriad Worlds. This is the main reason why we can rescue you."

Kunjun was moved and his eyes turned red when he heard this.

"Morax, he's really, I'm crying..."

Kunjun also imagined the hard work of Morax going to work in all realms, transforming the land, and exchanging the First Fire to save himself.

I can't drag down my old friend anymore, I should help him share the pressure!

Thinking of this, Kunjun looked serious and spoke in a solemn tone.

“Mora… Zhongli, you have a lot of things to do.

Now that I have returned, as an old friend of mine, and for the sake of our common Liyue, I naturally have to do my part.

In the future, I will be responsible for the land transformation work in Wanjie.

As the Rock Elemental Dragon King, I am more adept at this."

Kunjun's eyes were full of sincerity.

In his eyes, even now, Morax was unwilling to let him work hard, and he put down the teacup and picked it up again many times.

It was as if she didn't want him to be disturbed by worldly affairs and suffer from her own happiness.

But am I that kind of person? I, the Dragon King Ruta, enjoys taking revenge and repaying kindness, and I would never do such a thing as eating for free and being a parasite!

Morax has given so much, so naturally I have to help him and do my part for Liyue.

Look at Morax now, he has been tortured by life and doesn't even like to smile anymore.

(Wangsheng Hall Master Hu Tao: Huh? Look at these bills. Are you speaking human language?)

Wait, why is Morax's body twitching slightly?

I understand, my old friend, you are moved by me. Don't worry, my old friend, I, Ruota, will never let you down!

At this moment, in Kunjun's eyes, his old friend is fighting for Liyue with the wear and tear he has endured for thousands of years!

(Morax: Actually, I used the First Fire on myself right away...)

Su Qian sat next to Zhongli, watching Zhongli's mouth twitching constantly and the joy that he could not suppress hidden behind the teacup.

The tea in his mouth was about to spray out, but a stream of pure rock element locked Su Qian's mouth tightly.

Zhongli seems to be using this method to gain more time for his retirement.

(Zhongli: My friend, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!)

Su Qiankuang blinked to indicate that he received it.

Seeing this, Zhongli also let go of his control over the rock element.

Su Qian spat out the sand in his mouth without leaving a trace and looked at Kunjun with eyes full of pity.

But in Kunjun's eyes, this look became.

Su Qian: You still have a conscience and are responsible.

Kunjun thought so and straightened his back, feeling proud in his heart.

'Hehe, let my new friends know that I, Ruota, am definitely not that kind of ungrateful dragon.

Who in Liyue didn't know that Ruo Tuo was a man of justice and a quickie to avenge his enemies?

As Kunjun thought about this, his eyes became more serious as he waited for Zhongli's answer.
