Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

"?"

Chang Ming looked at Xianyun with some surprise, and for the first time, a hint of doubt flashed in his sea-blue eyes.

He knew that Master Liuyun Jiefeng was a chatterbox, and he liked to talk about his apprentice's childhood, but...

What's the point of this unconventional thinking? !

Weren't we just talking about something related to the Emperor? ! How come it's directly to me? !

and many more?

Chang Ming seemed to have suddenly thought of something strange, and the confusion in his sea-blue eyes turned into shock in an instant.

How did Master Liuyun Jiefeng know the relationship between the two of them?

It wasn't like in front of that stall, the mere fact that the two of them were standing there was enough to explain a lot.

From just now until now...all he did was stare at Funina?

As if noticing the shock in Chang Ming's eyes, Xianyun smiled slightly and then waved his hand gently.

"I can tell at a glance that the two of you have a special relationship. She has your scent, and you have her scent."

"Except for the last few things between the two of you, you have done almost everything that needs to be done."

"This little thing is as simple as eating and drinking water to me."

Hearing this, the shock in Chang Ming's eyes gradually subsided, and he finally accepted this fact, then asked:

"So...what exactly is the purpose of this mark that the Emperor placed on me?"

"Since the Emperor thinks that I am... a person who is friendly to Liyue, why did you, as an immortal, come here to find me?"

"Ah..."

Xianyun looked at Funina running on the grass, smiled gently, and then said:

"I know that you are the one who brought that technology, so I want to come and ask... Are you interested in learning Liyue's mechanical technology from me?"

"what?"

Chang Ming was stunned for a moment, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He had just thought of Xianyun's various answers, including but not limited to being a person who has been holding it in for too long and finding a chance to come out and let off some steam.

But what is this? Open recruitment?

As if sensing Chang Ming's surprised look, Xianyun shook his head helplessly.

"You just said that, looking at the entire Liyue, I am the only one who can be called a true 'master'."

"Since Hagentus left, there is no one who can compete with me in mechanical engineering."

"As time goes by, more and more interesting things appear in this world, and no one wants to learn the boring mechanical arts."

"I have thought about this more than once. If there were still someone in Liyue who could inherit all this...what would Liyue be like now?"

When Xianyun said this, a hint of expectation flashed in her emerald eyes, as if she was extremely eager for the future she described.

"But... I'm from Fontaine. After all, there's no way I can live in Liyue for long."

"Humph, I've already said that I'm not the kind of person who sticks to the old ways."

Xianyun snorted coldly, and then said:

"Although we immortals have lived in Jueyun for a long time, it does not mean that we don't know what happened in Liyue."

"As the relationship between Fontaine and Liyue becomes better and better, your technologies will be interoperable sooner or later. This is inevitable as time goes by."

At this point, Xianyun pointed to the mechanical kite in the sky and continued:

"Besides, aren't you helping Liyue pass on its culture? Just based on this... I can trust you enough."

"Moreover, you are the one who brought this technology into Liyue, and you are also certified by the Emperor. Naturally, I have to trust you."

Hearing this, Chang Ming blinked slightly, as if he was digesting everything Xianyun had just said. After a while, he nodded gently.

"You are right, Master. Technicians from the Fontaine Scientific Research Institute have already applied to stay in Liyue for a long time to improve the maintenance system."

"But... have you ever thought about a question?"

“It’s true that I was the one who brought the power machinery to Liyue, but I personally know nothing about this thing.”

"I am the regent of Fontaine, not a scholar of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, so...if you want to give this thing to me, then you have chosen the wrong person."

Hearing this, Xianyun snorted again, continuing to maintain his arrogant and proud attitude, and then said:

"Humph... When did I ever say I would teach you the art of mechanical devices?"

"Then what do you mean...?"

"Since there are a large number of researchers in Fontaine who are doing similar mechanical tricks, I will not be stingy with my own technology."

Having said this, Xianyun paused for a moment, and then said:

"Although I look down upon your imported technology, and although the essence of that technology is not even a hair of mechanical engineering, it does not mean that it is useless."

"In my recent research, I have discovered that... your technology is similar to some of the concepts of mechanical engineering. If it can be improved... it can be a way to pass on the knowledge."

After hearing Xianyun's words, Chang Ming fell into a long silence.

Although he really wanted to talk about the learning cycle of mechanical engineering, but...what she said was indeed right.

Fontaine's machinery still has many flaws compared to the ones she made, but this does not mean that the mechanical art is perfect.

If the two are combined... maybe these problems can be filled, and it can also help Liyue pass on its culture.

Thinking of this, Chang Ming nodded slightly, and then asked:

"So... what is Zhenjun going to do?"

"It's very simple. After some time, I will go to Fontaine in person to see what level your craftsmen are at."

"If things go well, we can talk about what happens next."

Xianyun produced a teacup from somewhere, took a sip of the tea in it, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Okay, let's stop chatting and narrating here. I still have things to do."

As she spoke, she handed a delicate hairpin with blue and emerald colors to Chang Ming in front of her, and then said softly:

"You call me the True Lord and respect me as a senior, so I certainly cannot lose this status."

"Besides, Ganyu also praised you highly, so I can't be rude."

"Take this hairpin. It contains a ray of my power. Although I cannot stop the attack from the demon god, I can resist it a little bit."

"that's it."

After saying that, Liu Yun turned into a breeze and disappeared in front of Chang Ming in an instant.

Not long after Liu Yun left, Fu Nina, who had just finished flying a kite and seemed a little tired, slowly sat down next to Chang Ming and asked curiously:

"Eh? Chang Ming, was there someone next to you just now?"

"Well, there are indeed some, but... they are not real people."

"Eh?"

"She is an immortal who has profound knowledge of mechanical arts. She is also Miss Ganyu's master."

As Chang Ming spoke, he handed the hairpin that Master Liuyun Jiefeng had just given him to Fu Ningna, and then said softly:

"This is the wedding gift that the immortal gave us...
