Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Hearing this voice so close to him, Chang Ming was slightly stunned, as if he didn't quite understand what was going on.

He subconsciously turned his head and fixed his gaze on the black-haired woman who had appeared beside him at some point.

Looking at the woman next to him who was wearing red-framed glasses, had a high black ponytail, and had a hint of turquoise highlights in her hair, Chang Ming already had the answer in his mind.

"Is this... Xianyun, the human form of Master Liuyun Jiefeng? Why is she here at this time?"

Chang Ming had some doubts in his heart, but he did not show them. Instead, he talked to the woman next to him:

"Why do you say that, young lady? Although Liyue's mechanical devices are extremely ingenious, their cost is... totally unsuitable for promotion."

"Not to mention that it takes master-level craftsmanship to condense all those ingenuity into a small kite and ensure that the kite can fly..."

"Moreover, as far as I know, the only person in Liyue who can be called a "master" in the art of mechanical engineering is an immortal named "Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun"."

“Although the purpose of this kite is to promote Liyue culture, it can also allow more people who don’t know how to operate the string to experience the fun of flying a kite…”

"But is it too expensive to alarm the immortals for this?"

After hearing Chang Ming's series of facts, Xianyun raised his head with great satisfaction and subconsciously pushed up the red glasses on his nose.

Of course, Xianyun did not get carried away just because Chang Ming praised her a few times, but went straight to the point and said:

"You are right, but... these things can be solved in a moment as long as I take action."

“Huh? You are…?”

Looking at Chang Ming who was still pretending to be stupid, Xian Yun shook his head helplessly, then sighed and said:

"I am not an old antique who is not used to the old ways. Moreover... these words were spoken by someone who has been certified by the Emperor."

"Even if I don't consider your face, I will reluctantly agree with your statement for the sake of the Emperor."

"Okay, I have explained it so clearly. Are you still going to pretend that you don't know me?"

Obviously, Xianyun has made it very clear, and what she needs now is "honesty" from Changming.

Hearing this, Chang Ming smiled slightly, and then said respectfully:

"Junior Chang Ming, meet Master Liuyun Jiefeng."

——The reason why I call myself a junior is because of my age.

Master Liuyun Jiefeng is from the same generation as Grandpa Zhong. With his five hundred years of experience, he really makes himself an elder in front of the people he usually meets.

But when I stand in front of this immortal...I will definitely have this title.

Hearing this rather formal speech from Li Yue, Xian Yun was slightly startled, curled his lips somewhat helplessly, and then said:

"You are obviously a Fontaine native. Where did you learn Liyue's red tape?"

"Why is it that you are so normal when talking to other people, but you are so inexplicably serious when talking to me?"

"Let's get back to the point. Although I agree with your statement, it does not mean that I agree with your so-called... just call it mechanical skills."

"But I will not give up. I have my own way to crack the foreign mechanical devices you brought with you."

"Our great Liyue is a land of vastness and rich resources. If we need to rely on imported tricks to accomplish our goals in such trivial matters...wouldn't we be looked down upon by others?"

Looking at Xianyun who was serious in front of him, Chang Ming couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.

He knew very well that Xianyun was making excuses for himself.

As proud as she is, and as the immortal who is most willing to be close to others among the Three-Eyed and Five-Manifested Immortals...she more or less cannot accept why Liyue did not ask her to handle this matter.

In her opinion, this was no different from looking down on her own mechanical skills.

Therefore, she was determined to make this thing, to make something different to prove her ability.

——But this is where the problem lies.

Xianyun should have been staying in her room developing machines at this time, but why did she suddenly appear beside him?

Looking at Xianyun beside him who seemed to have opened his mouth and started talking, Chang Ming felt a little confused for a moment.

"Why? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

As an immortal with three eyes and five manifestations, Xianyun immediately noticed Chang Ming's somewhat unusual gaze and asked so.

"Uh... not really. I'm just curious about how far you have progressed in developing this mechanical kite, Master?"

Chang Ming touched his nose subconsciously and asked directly.

"Good progress. Before the Lantern Festival... I will definitely be able to come up with a so-called "mechanical kite" that belongs to Liyue's mechanical arts. No, a kite that is even better than this."

Xianyun raised his head slightly, like a proud crane.

No, she is a proud crane.

"So why are you asking this? Do you want to learn some craftsmanship from me?"

"Not really, I'm just a little curious..."

Chang Ming shook his head gently, and then explained:

"I have heard Miss Ganyu talk about your love and confidence in mechanical engineering, so I feel... a little strange."

"Strange? What's strange?"

"According to what I have learned... you should be the type of person who can't stop working and habitually stays indoors, but why..."

"Why is this immortal here, right?"

Xianyun looked at Chang Ming in front of him with interest with his emerald eyes, and thought to himself that it was indeed so.

The Emperor is the Emperor after all, and he does things with extreme caution and perfection.

"I don't like to talk about so many causes and consequences in this matter. In short... you were marked by the Emperor, and I came here following the Emperor's mark."

"mark?"

Chang Ming was a little stunned for a moment. How come he didn't know that he had this mark on his body?

"Yes, the Emperor will mark everyone who enters Liyue and is strong enough to make it clear to the other Three-Eyed Five-Manifested Immortals."

"Of course, those who can be marked...are all people who have been approved by the Emperor and are friendly to Liyue. As for those who are not marked...the Emperor will naturally deal with them personally."

Xianyun explained.

"I see..."

Chang Ming nodded thoughtfully, and immediately thought of the previous incident of the "Mysterious Rock".

"Come to think of it...could that thing be with the old man?"

Xianyun looked at Chang Ming who was thinking about something, then looked at the pretty girl running on the grass, and asked suddenly:

"That woman...is she your wife?"
