Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

As the night deepened, the once bustling streets began to become deserted as time passed.

People always need to sleep.

The Lantern Festival holiday is very long and there is no compensatory leave, so the people of Liyue have plenty of time to spend with their families and travel.

Under such circumstances, the second half of the night of the Lantern Festival seemed rather deserted, with only a few businesses still open.

——Of course, these businesses that are open basically have stable customers.

For example...Wanwen Collection House.

After leaving the Qun Yu Pavilion, Chang Ming and Funina walked aimlessly on the streets of Liyue.

Although they said so, the main reason why they wandered around the streets of Liyue was that they wanted to experience the difference between Liyue and Fontaine.

After all, they had done just that in Fontaine, except that this time neither of them had drunk alcohol.

Under the soft light emitted by the street lanterns, the shadows of the two people were infinitely stretched and finally intertwined at one point.

Feeling the quiet night scene of Liyue, Finina blinked slightly and then let out a long breath.

"I always feel that in such a quiet time, Liyue and Fontaine feel exactly the same..."

Finina tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't feel anything different.

Chang Ming nodded without comment.

“This is how the world is. No matter how noisy it is, there will always be moments of peace, and moments of peace are common to the whole world.”

"After all, no matter how energetic a person is, they will get tired sometimes, right?"

Hearing this, Fu Nina was stunned for a moment, then she hugged Chang Ming's arm tightly and asked softly:

"So...are you tired after all these years?"

"Hmm? Is this the same question again?"

Chang Ming smiled gently, then hugged the lovely Miss Funina in his arms and said softly:

“No matter how many times I ask this question, my answer is always the same.”

“I never felt tired or exhausted.”

"Because I know how heavy the burden you bear is, and I understand how much you have endured."

“The threads of fate are intertwined and cannot be easily changed, and this is the source of my philosophy.”

"Since fate cannot be changed, I will transform into one of the silk threads and accompany you quietly by your side."

"To me...peace, especially your peace, is far more important than my own."

"If you are at peace, Fontaine will be at peace, and I will also be at peace. This is the core logic."

Chang Ming's voice is as gentle and peaceful as ever, just like the most harmonious melody in the world.

Hearing this, Funina lowered her head slightly and rubbed Chang Ming gently, like a cute kitten.

Funina raised her head slightly, tiptoed gently and kissed Chang Ming on the lips.

Looking at the girl with twinkling eyes in front of him, Chang Ming chuckled and rubbed her little head, then asked softly:

"Where do you want to go next? Do you want to go back to the inn to rest for a while? Or do you want to go shopping again?"

"Well...I want to go shopping some more..."

Funina tilted her head and looked at a shop in the attic not far away that was still lit in the late night, and was a little confused for a moment.

"Eh? At this time...are there still shops open?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming was also a little confused, and then he looked up following Funina's gaze, and his original doubts were instantly resolved.

So it’s Wanwen Collection House, that’s all right.

"Uh... If I remember correctly, it shouldn't be a store, but a "Wenshe", which is actually the bookstore in Fontaine."

"Huh? So the bookstore is open so late... Then I want to go and take a look."

Finina blinked slightly, and a little light flashed in her beautiful eyes, as if she had thought of something.

"I want to see how the stories recorded in Liyue differ from those in Fontaine. Maybe... I can get some inspiration from them?"

Funina tilted her little head, then naturally took Chang Ming's hand and went to Wanwen Collection, looking forward to Liyue's story.

However, at this moment, Funina did not realize it.

The book she was about to choose was about to become the reason she couldn't sleep without a light on for the next three days.

And the name of that book is... "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

......

The way Wanwenjishe sells books in the evening is very unique. You choose the books and put the money on the table according to the price list posted when the owner leaves.

Because in the Liyue area...most of the people who like to read are very cultured people, such as Xingqiu and Zhongli.

They will not give up their integrity for a few thousand Mora's worth of books.

Although Liyue also has a very abstract saying... "How can a scholar's work be called stealing", but everyone just treats this saying as a joke,

Therefore, no one would find such abstract reasons for themselves to calm themselves down temporarily.

In other words...in Liyue, those who have the leisure to come to Wanwen Collection to buy or borrow books are all wealthy people, so there is no need for them to do this.

Of course, Funina is not short of money.

With the light from the lanterns lit at night in the Wanwen Collection, Funina was looking for books that interested her.

She was not interested in books like "Record of the Broken Halberd in the Divine Sky" and "Record of the Lone Sword in the Wilderness Mountain" which looked like Liyue vernacular novels at first glance.

What she wanted were books like "The Emperor's Travels" and "Jueyun Chronicles" that recorded the history of Liyue.

Although I don't know whether the content in it is true or not, it is better than a novel that does not exist or is completely fictional.

Thinking of this, Funina bought the two books without hesitation, and when she was about to check out...she saw a book with a black cover.

Perhaps because it stood out among the light-colored books, Funina took it down out of curiosity.

"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio...? It sounds interesting. The things recorded here seem to be similar to the Jueyun Jiwen, both of which are stories of strange legends..."

Funina whispered, and then added it to her shopping list without hesitation.

Chang Ming did not try to stop it. He was just thinking about whether this book was the same as the "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" in his memory.

If they are not the same, then Funina shouldn't be scared, after all, this is a 12+ game.

If that's the case... then he would rather Funina take a good look at it.

After all, the person that Funina is most likely to talk to next is the only "Guide to the Underworld" in Liyue. She has a special experience in ghost stories.

If she finds out that Fu Fu is as easy to scare as Xiang Ling... I'm afraid poor Fu Fu will never have peace.
