After Jiang Chen sat down at the dining table, he couldn't help but look at Paimon with amusement.
"Not angry anymore?"
Was this little guy really so fickle?
Now she wasn't angry anymore?
When she woke up in the morning, she hadn't given Jiang Chen a good look.
But now that it was time to eat, she changed her attitude?
"Angry?"
"About what?"
"I'm not angry at all!"
Paimon acted as if she had no idea what Jiang Chen was talking about.
She had never been angry.
She didn't know what Jiang Chen was referring to.
Seeing her play dumb, Jiang Chen was speechless.
You really know how to adapt, don't you, Paimon?
"Did you finish handling your matters?"
Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Lumine.
With a whole morning, she should have found a place to post the missing person notices, right?
Hearing Jiang Chen bring this up, Lumine nodded.
"I've already asked the Adventurers' Guild for help."
"But to post more tasks, I need to raise my adventurer rank first."
"So I plan to take on some adventurer tasks next."
This was Lumine's plan for the near future.
In the afternoon, she would start doing tasks to raise her adventurer rank.
Once her rank was higher, she could ask the Adventurers' Guild for help with many things.
And there would be plenty of benefits too.
This was something she definitely needed to do.
Hearing Lumine's words, Jiang Chen nodded.
"That's a good plan."
"Go ahead and do that."
"Maybe you can take some tasks that involve going to The Chasm?"
"Then head over to Sumeru to get the Dendro element."
"You can also take some tasks around Qingce Village."
"Go there and get the Hydro element too."
"Gather more elements, so you won't be bullied when you go to Inazuma."
Jiang Chen also gave Lumine some advice.
She should go to those regions first to collect the elemental powers before heading to Inazuma.
Inazuma wasn't an easy place to deal with.
It would be better if Lumine became stronger first.
Hearing Jiang Chen's advice, Lumine naturally agreed.
"That's what I was thinking too!"
"I'll get those two elements first."
Today, she had also heard from the Adventurers' Guild that Inazuma wasn't stable.
It was even in a state of lockdown.
If she went there, something might really go wrong.
So she fully agreed with the idea of strengthening herself before going.
If she couldn't win even after gathering so many elemental powers, then she'd just have to come back and call for reinforcements.
She'd just let Jiang Chen handle it.
In fact, Lumine wanted Jiang Chen to travel with her.
After all, with such a strong ally, she could practically roam Teyvat freely.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chen had somehow become a government official?
And a high-ranking one at that.
It was absolutely ridiculous.
She genuinely felt it was a pity.
Lumine looked at Jiang Chen, thought for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask:
"Are you going to these places?"
What she meant was, was Jiang Chen going to check in at those places?
Jiang Chen, like her, could gain power by checking in at Statues of The Seven.
"I'm in no hurry."
"After all, I'll soon become the Tianquan, and I'll have a lot of work to do."
"Once I have some free time, I'll go and check them out."
Jiang Chen wasn't in a rush to touch the Statues of The Seven.
His current power wasn't much, but it was enough.
Now that he had the Hall of Heroes, there were many things he didn't even need to handle himself.
This was quite comfortable.
In fact, after becoming the Tianquan, Jiang Chen planned to have Havria or Guizhong help him with his work.
It was necessary to slack off appropriately.
If he had to sit in an office every day handling work, Jiang Chen definitely wouldn't be happy.
While the three of them were chatting, the food was served.
Xiangling, seeing Jiang Chen sitting there, couldn't help but be surprised.
"Huh?"
"Jiang Chen?"
"You know each other?!"
As Xiangling placed the dishes on the table, she asked.
She had brought Gouba with her.
After putting down the dishes, Gouba ran over to Guizhong and tilted its head to look at her.
Seeing this little guy, Guizhong's lips curled into a smile.
She reached out and rubbed its head.
They had been brought into Wanmin Restaurant by Gouba.
Guizhong naturally knew Gouba.
She never expected her old friend to end up like this.
But seeing it so happy, Guizhong felt relieved.
She also knew Xiangling's identity.
Madame Ping's disciple.
'Lu lu~!'
Being rubbed by Guizhong, Gouba felt very comfortable.
Its mood was also quite good.
Towards Guizhong, it felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
It was as if it knew her.
This was ingrained in its instincts.
Although Gouba had lost most of its power and memories,
some instincts remained.
Just like how it would greet Zhongle when it saw him.
Now, seeing Guizhong, it also greeted her.
Xiangling, seeing Gouba's behavior, was a bit helpless.
Although she didn't know Guizhong's identity,
since Gouba was so close to her, she probably wasn't a bad person.
What she didn't expect was that Jiang Chen actually knew these beautiful women.
What a coincidence.
"We know each other!"
"They're with me. We all just arrived in Liyue."
Jiang Chen explained with a smile.
At the same time, his gaze also noticed the interaction between Guizhong and Gouba.
Even the Stove God hadn't forgotten Guizhong.
"No wonder."
"I was wondering why I hadn't seen them before."
"Since you know each other, that's great."
"Enjoy your meal."
"If you need anything, just call me."
"Hehe~!"
"Gouba, let's go."
"Don't disturb the guests while they're eating!!"
After putting down the dishes, Xiangling left.
She quickly called Gouba to follow her.
Hearing Xiangling's call, Gouba waved at Guizhong.
Then it hurriedly followed Xiangling and left.
Guizhong watched Gouba leave, then couldn't help but say to Jiang Chen:
"Do you have a way to restore Marchosius' memories?"
Her gaze fell on Jiang Chen.
If his memories could be restored, that would be great.
"No."
"Maybe there will be a way in the future, but not now."
"Its power was all used to heal the wounds of Liyue's land."
"The current development of Liyue also owes a part to its efforts."
"If it weren't for it, Liyue would probably be in a very difficult situation now."
How brutal was the Archon War back then?
The entire land of Liyue was shattered.
Marchosius couldn't bear to see Liyue like this, so it used all its power to heal the land's wounds.
In the end, it even exhausted all its power and became what it is now.
If Xiangling hadn't found it, it would probably still be in slumber, right?
Restoring Marchosius' memories wasn't a simple matter.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Guizhong felt a bit regretful.
"Alright."
"If there's a chance in the future, please help restore its memories."
In the end, Guizhong didn't say anything more.
Instead, she picked up her chopsticks and began enjoying the delicious food.
These dishes were all taught to Xiangling by Madame Ping.
Some even had traces of her influence.
It seemed Xiangling had inherited Madame Ping's true skills.
It felt really good.
