After listening to Paimeng's comforting words, Shao Yun sighed softly, a helpless smile appearing on his face.

Carefully he put the thirty Moras into the Mora bag.

"Ah, as expected, the people of Liyue are not easy to fool." Shao Yun muttered to himself, with a hint of self-mockery and emotion in his tone.

It seems that it is not easy to gain an advantage easily in Liyue.

After Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng finished their tea, they stood up and prepared to leave.

Riding a horse, we set out on the journey to Wangshu Inn.

There was a lingering brilliant afterglow on the horizon, illuminating the entire Dihuazhou Island like a dream.

Shao Yun and Ying rode side by side on the road. The sound of horse hooves accompanied by the swaying of white reeds seemed to be playing a moving piece of music.

Finally, in the deep night, we arrived at Wangshu Inn.

Although Wangshu Inn seems to be very close when viewed from the stone gate, it is actually quite far away.

The two horses were already panting from exhaustion, their heavy breathing sounding particularly clear in the quiet air.

Shao Yun looked at the Wangshu Inn in front of him and couldn't help muttering, "This Wangshu Inn looks close, but if you really run, even a horse will get skinny."

Ying nodded and said in agreement, "Come to think of it, I thought this Wangshu Inn was built on a tree, but it turns out the foundation is stone. It's just that there are trees growing on top."

Afterwards, the three of them dismounted, and Ying and Paimeng began to look around this quaint and elegant inn. Her eyes lingered on Wangshu Inn, as if she was appreciating the charm of this unique building.

"I'll go get the horses settled."

He led the horse to the stable of the inn which had been vacant for a long time, and then seeing that there was no one around, he put the horse into the mobile stable.

Received it in the system, it's much better than this place with spider webs.

Then he turned and walked towards Ying and Paimon who were waiting, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said, "I've settled the horses, let's go."

Just as they were about to enter Wangshu Inn, a woman named "Yu Liu" dressed in simple waitress clothes came to greet them.

With a friendly smile on her face, she asked, "Three guests, do you plan to stay in the hotel or taste our food?"

"stay."

After hearing this, Yu Liu pointed to the freight elevator that was slowly rising in the distance and explained, "If you are staying at the hotel, please take the freight elevator to the top floor and find our boss Phil Godette."

Paimon's curiosity was aroused again. She looked at the stairs built around Wangshu Inn on the other side and asked in confusion: "Since there is an elevator, why build these stairs?"

Shao Yun turned his head and looked at Paimeng's curious face, smiling and explaining: "Although the elevator is convenient, if there is a malfunction, if there is no staircase, wouldn't the people upstairs be unable to come down? The existence of stairs is to deal with special situations like this."

After hearing this, Paimeng slapped his head and said with sudden realization: "Oh, so that's how it is! I really didn't expect this."

Yu Liu listened to their conversation and added with a smile: "This guest is absolutely right. The existence of the stairs is indeed a backup plan in case there is a problem with the elevator. However, the stairs broke recently, and our shopkeeper is planning to find someone to repair it."

Shao Yun looked up at the towering Wangshu Inn, which seemed like a huge mountain standing between heaven and earth. He remembered that he had wanted to climb it before, but ended up falling to death several times.

After repairing the stairs, I discovered that there was an elevator!

……

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng took the elevator together and slowly rose up. Wherever they looked, they could see the beautiful scenery of Dihuazhou.

From the lush green grass and clear water nearby to the endless mountains in the distance, it is like a vivid picture scroll slowly unfolding before your eyes.

The scenery is so beautiful that it makes people feel relaxed and happy.

When the elevator stopped steadily in front of the door of Wangshu Inn, the three people walked out of the elevator and were immediately surrounded by the lively atmosphere of the inn at night.

The lights are bright, the place is bustling with people, and the aroma of various foods is mouth-watering.

They walked up to the inn's owner, Phil Godette. The lady boss looked them up and down and asked with a smile, "My three guests, is there anything I can do for you?"

Shao Yun answered directly: "We need accommodation."

Filgodette took out a room price list from the counter, handed it to Shao Yun, and said, "Our inn has all kinds of rooms, single rooms, double rooms, luxury suites, etc. What kind of room do you need?"

Shao Yun took the room price list and looked through it carefully. At the same time, he turned to look at Ying beside him and asked, "Ying, do you think a single room is enough?"

Ying nodded and replied, "Okay, if you really want a single room, Paimon and I will sleep on the bed and you can sleep on the floor."

After hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but joked, "Ah? Can't Paimeng sleep on the floor?"

When Paimeng heard Shao Yun's joke, he immediately protested.

"Hey! Can you really bear to see me sleeping on the floor?"

"Don't be so silly, change to another one. A single room won't work."

……

Shao Yun flipped through the room price list, his eyes lingering on each price for a moment. If he didn't have money, he would have to think carefully about it. If he had money, then there was no need to think about it.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at Ying who was standing beside him. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he suggested: "Ying, how about we get a luxury suite..."

However, before he could finish his words, Ying quickly stepped on him with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"A double room will do. Don't waste your money. Just a normal double room!"

Shao Yun shook his head helplessly. He turned to Filgodette and said with a smile, "Okay, listen to her. Give us a double room."

Filgodette smiled and nodded, then took out a key from the drawer and handed it to Shao Yun. She said softly, "This is the key to your room, five thousand Mora per night."

Shao Yun took the key, took out Mora from his backpack and paid.

Then Shao Yun prepared to hand the key to Ying.

"Take Paimon up first."

Ying frowned slightly, her eyes full of doubts, and asked in confusion: "What about you?"

Shao Yun smiled slightly, pointed his finger at the colorful menu on the counter, and said, "I want to buy something to eat."

When Paimeng heard the word "eat", she immediately became excited. Her eyes sparkled and she couldn't wait to shout, "I want to eat..."

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Filgodette.

"May I suggest something easily digestible, like almond tofu?"

Almond tofu? Wangshu Inn? Could this lady boss be...

Philgodette looked at Shao Yun with a puzzled look and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't almond tofu good? It's sweet, and I guarantee you'll have a sweet dream tonight."

Shao Yun looked up at the upstairs and took out the money for three servings of almond tofu.

"Then give me three."

Phil Gaudette smiled and put the money away.

"Okay, I'll have the food delivered to your room. If you feel bored, the view from the rooftop terrace is also very nice."

Now I am more certain...

……

Shao Yun, Ying and Paimeng came to the door of the room, took out the key from their pockets, turned it lightly, and the door opened.

The double room is simply and warmly decorated. Although there are no overly gorgeous decorations, every corner reveals a comfortable atmosphere.

"Wow!" Paimon immediately flew to the bed and rolled around excitedly.

“What a soft bed!”

Shao Yun looked around and nodded with satisfaction, feeling that such an environment was enough for him to get a good rest.

Ying walked to the bed and pressed the mattress, which was very soft.

Then he turned his gaze to Shao Yun, thought of something, and started joking in his tone.

"By the way, Shao Yun, if you really snore and wake me and Paimeng up when you sleep at night, you can just go outside and enjoy the cool breeze."

It seemed like a joke, but there was a hint of seriousness in it.

Shao Yun crossed his arms and pretended to be cold.

"Ah! Ying, you are so cruel, haha."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then three servings of fragrant almond tofu were brought in.

The aroma of almonds fills the air, making you salivate.

Shao Yun picked up one of them and took a deep breath of the tempting aroma.

Suddenly remembering that his boss Philgodette had hinted at him to go to the rooftop platform, Shao Yun felt that it was time to pay his respects.

After all, we have come to someone else's territory, and it would be very rude to remain silent.

"I'll go out and see the scenery and eat later." Shao Yun said, gently putting down the almond tofu in his hand, turned and walked out the door.

Ying sat on the edge of the bed, tasting almond tofu with Paimeng while watching Shao Yun's departing back.

"Go early and come back early. I'm afraid I won't be able to stop Paimon."

……

Shao Yun stood on the platform on the top floor of Wangshu Inn, letting the night breeze caress his face.

He looked around and saw the night view of Dihuazhou unfolding like a painting, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

He took a cigar out of his pocket and gently put it to his nose and sniffed it.

"Ah, although the best thing to restore Death Eye is still alcohol, this thing still needs to be used. We can't throw it away."

Alcohol is the best choice to restore his core physical strength and core Death Eye, but cigars can bring him a moment of calmness.

(Off topic: Smoking is harmful to health!)

Shao Yun leaned on the railing, lit his cigar, took a deep breath, and felt the comfort of the smoke flowing in his mouth.

His gaze pierced through the swirling smoke and turned to the endless mountains in the distance, and a feeling of lofty ambition surged in his heart.

At this moment, he realized that someone was watching him secretly. He tilted his head slightly and glanced around with the corner of his eye.

"Don't keep staring at me. Let's enjoy the beauty of Liyue together."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.

He was a boy with short cyan hair, not even taller than his father.

His face was handsome and stern, with an indescribable majesty between his brows.

His eyes were deep and bright, as if they could see through all illusions and truths.

He is shorter than Ying, appeared in Wangshu Inn, and is so handsome. Shao Yun can't think of anyone else except the demon-slaying sage "Xiao".

In the darkness of the night, Xiao stood quietly beside Shao Yun, and the two of them looked out at the night view of Dihuazhou together.

The stars are twinkling and the moonlight is shining, like a flowing painting that never gets boring.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve seen the night view of Liyue, but after all these years, I never get tired of it.”

Xiao's voice was low and calm, as if he was telling a long-lost memory.

Shao Yun reached out, flicked the cigar in his hand, and said, "Tacitus Kilgore."

Xiao responded expressionlessly: "Hello Mr. Shao Yun, my name is Xiao."

Shao Yun took another puff of his cigar, exhaled a stream of smoke, and said, "As soon as I entered Wangshu Inn, no, as soon as I entered Liyue, you started paying attention to me."

Xiao did not answer, but just quietly looked at the night view of Ogihua Island.

It seems that Xiao noticed me when I stepped into Wangshu Inn. The fact that he didn't take action against me meant that in his eyes, I was not a threat that needed to be dealt with immediately.

Xiao asked casually: "How can you be so sure that I will show up?"

He did not directly answer Shao Yun's previous question, but threw the question to Shao Yun.

Shao Yun shook the cigar in his hand and said, "I said I just wanted to smoke, and I noticed you were looking at me, so I invited you to enjoy the scenery together. Do you believe me?"

The two of them just kept passing the buck to each other.

Xiao recalled the incident of Shao Yun entering Wangshu Inn in his mind, and said to himself: "It seems that Boss Filgodette wants me to see if you are a threat."

Shao Yun took another puff of his cigar, then jokingly handed it to Xiao and asked, "Want a puff?"

There was a smile on his face, as if he was testing Xiao's reaction.

Xiao looked at Shao Yun silently, then said, "Don't teach others to smoke. This behavior is disgusting."

Although his voice was calm, his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

After hearing what Xiao said, Shao Yun smiled awkwardly, then took another puff of the cigar in his hand.

He thought for a moment, changed the subject, and said, "Let me think about it. You are the Great Sage who subdues demons, the guardian Yaksha, and the Golden Roc General 'Xiao'. I am right, right? It may be a little incomplete, don't mind it."

Xiao remained calm and said, "It's just an empty reputation. Didn't you invite me to enjoy the scenery with you? Then stop talking."
