Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

At Chang Ming's suggestion, Funina did not say much, but nodded slightly to Fu Jin, and then said:

"We have no problem. Helping Qiaoying Manor is helping Fengdan, so no matter what the final outcome is... we will try our best."

Hearing this, Fu Jin nodded gratefully, and then cast a hopeful look at Ying and Paimeng standing beside him.

Ying and Paimon looked at each other and nodded at the same time, then said:

"We will come to help too! If Qiaoying Manor disappears, all those good tea leaves will be gone."

"The last time I had morning tea with Jiaming, I had tea cakes, and they were really delicious!"

"If there is no good tea, there will be no tea cakes to eat, right?"

Hearing Paimon's extremely simple speech, Ying's mouth twitched slightly, as if a little helpless, but still nodded.

Although Paimon's speech was simple, it did not affect the communication of his meaning.

"That's great! ... Ahem, I mean - that's great."

Fu Jin adjusted his facial expression for a moment, then continued:

"Thank you very much for helping Qiaoying Manor when it was in trouble. You have also passed the intelligence test. So... I should also tell you the method of "solving the water and soil imbalance."

"First, I would like to invite you to swim upstream and look for the precious jade thrown into the water. Finally, we will recreate the ancient ritual of 'throwing the dragon'."

"In this way, we can remove the haze from the mountains and rivers and repair the water veins and soil."

Hearing this, Paimon nodded slightly, and then asked:

"Now I understand... But how do we do the ritual? Or do we have to do it step by step?"

It seemed that Paimon's words touched upon something, as Fu Jin suddenly turned his head, as if he had some different opinions about the "Toulong" ritual.

"Eh? Immortal Fu Jin...? What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"

Looking at Fu Jin, whose expression suddenly became somewhat scary, Paimon blinked slightly and asked hesitantly.

"Ah... nothing, because the "Toulong" ceremony is of great importance, so it is best to complete it smoothly."

"Just like eating a meal one bite at a time and walking a road one step at a time, you should do the things in front first so that the things in the back can happen smoothly, right?"

After saying this, Fu Jin instantly turned into some golden spots of light and disappeared in front of everyone.

"Eh? You're leaving now..."

Paimon scratched his head, as if he didn't quite understand, and then turned his attention to Chang Ming and Ying.

"So what should we do next? Should we go directly upstream to investigate and look for that precious jade?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming and Ying looked at Paimeng with a "caring for the mentally retarded" look, as if she was really not very smart.

"W-Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Paimeng tilted her head, perhaps because Ying and Chang Ming's gazes were a little too sharp, so she took a few steps back.

"Hey...it's nothing, it just suddenly makes sense."

Chang Ming spread his hands helplessly, and then corrected softly:

"What the Immortal Fujin just said was 'Toulong', which means to throw a 'beautiful jade' upstream of the river to perform a ritual. Now... the beautiful jade can't still be upstream, right?"

"If we want to find clues, we can't go upstream. We have to look downstream, right?"

Chang Ming pursed his lips, as if he was a little worried about Paimeng's IQ.

"Moreover... given the current situation, we cannot go downstream because the efficiency is too low."

"Huh? Why is this?"

As if he was already used to Paimon's personality of asking everything, Chang Ming continued to explain:

"Since 'Toulong' can be called a 'ritual', the participants must include not only immortals like Fujin, but also many ordinary people."

"Plus, when we were at Qiaoying Manor earlier... the old man surnamed Lu also told us the story of the Immortal Fujin. I think... we should go ask them."

"Maybe, I mean maybe, we can get a more accurate and quicker solution to this problem."

Chang Ming's expression was indifferent, but his sea-blue eyes revealed his usual calmness.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his role as "regent", as calm as a machine.

He carefully calculated everything that might happen, and then chose the most efficient one from countless paths.

This may be... the charm that belongs only to Chang Ming.

Hearing Chang Ming's words, Paimeng nodded vigorously, then smiled and shook his little hand and said:

"Oh! I understand. So what we need to do now is to go to Qiaoying Village to inquire about the information about "Toulong", right?"

Hearing Paimeng's words, Chang Ming smiled "relieved", but the look of "caring for the mentally retarded" in his sea-blue eyes did not fade at all.

"Look! I'm still very smart~"

Paimon said this to Ying beside him with some pride.

What could Ying do? She could only smile and follow Chang Ming and Fu Ningna to Qiaoying Manor.

There's nothing she can do. Apart from herself, her own guide...it seems like no one else can pamper her.

......

Perhaps because they were shouldering the responsibility of restoring Qiaoying Manor to normal, everyone seemed exceptionally silent along the way.

Of course, Chang Ming was thinking about how to collect the scattered immortal power in the quickest way possible, while Funina was observing the mountains and rivers, conceiving a new script.

As for Ying and Paimon...

One is dumb, the other literally has nothing to say.

The three of them didn't talk much, how awkward would it be for her to speak alone?

Driven by this atmosphere, everyone soon arrived at Qiaoying Manor.

Before they could go in and ask what was going on, a familiar old voice came from the side.

"Hey! My dear guests, you are finally here! Come and help us!"

As Old Lu spoke, he staggered towards them. His appearance made Chang Ming feel like he was going to fall down in the next second.

Of course, people who make tea all year round will not be so miserable even when they are old.

——At least you won’t fall flat on your face.

"Grandpa Lu, what happened?"

Paimon blinked curiously and asked.

"Hey, kid, stop talking about that. That... Wotou Meng Danei and Lao Luo have been arguing for several days. They have been arguing since the day they were invited!"

"I think you two are the Fontaine Regent and the Water God. You should be able to persuade them to leave, right?"

Hearing this, Chang Ming roughly understood what Old Lu meant, and then nodded slightly and said:

"Please lead the way."
