Just as Zhongli expected, it didn't take long before a smell that made people's fingers tingle came from the kitchen.

The sweet smell blended perfectly with the smell of barbecue, making even Zhongli salivate.

It seems that this girl Xiangling has gained a lot in Mondstadt.

"Mr. Zhongli, please."

Not long after, Xiangling brought the golden and crispy barbecue to the table.

Zhongli first sniffed it with his eyes closed, and then couldn't help but admire it.

"Yes, if it is too sweet, it will be too sweet, and if it is less, the taste will be missing. This kind of just right heat allows the honey and animal meat to be perfectly combined, giving people the illusion that the two are one.

Master Xiangling’s craftsmanship is unparalleled in this world.”

"Oh, it's just an ordinary barbecue. You praised it so much."

Zhongli's compliment made Xiangling feel a little embarrassed.

She knew that the perfect performance this time was inseparable from the two ingredients in her hands.

It's a pity that the sunflower seeds have been used up, and I don't know if I can make similar dishes in the future.

"Then I won't be polite."

After picking up the teacup and moistening his throat, Zhongli picked up a piece of meat and bit into it.

Just as he expected, the feeling of exploding taste buds instantly occupied all his senses.

But... the way of the explosion is a little different.

And the first time he bit it, a person popped into his mind.

Bai Luo.

"this......"

What's going on? Why does it smell like this?

"Is something wrong?"

Xiangling saw Zhongli's expression was a little strange and quickly asked.

"The barbecue is fat but not greasy, crispy but not burnt. It can be said to be perfect to the extreme, but..."

"only......?"

"It just reminds me of someone."

After some hesitation, Zhongli picked up a piece of barbecue again and stuffed it into his mouth.

That sour feeling that fills the entire mouth and makes people question life.

It’s unmistakable, it’s definitely that guy’s fruit!

Gulu swallowed the barbecue in his mouth. Zhongli looked at Xiangling who was confused and asked: "Master Xiangling, did you add sunflower seeds to your barbecue?"

"Wow, as expected of Mr. Zhongli, he even guessed this."

The reason why Xiangling didn't tell Zhongli about the sundowner fruit in the roasted pig with honey sauce was because she wanted him to guess the ingredients inside after eating it.

After all, he could clearly explain all the seasonings and ingredients in the dishes every time before, and he was as precise as the ingredients used.

Originally, she wanted to use this sunset fruit to trick Zhongli's taste buds.

"Did you meet someone in Mondstadt?"

"???"

Is this...a bit too much?

Can you tell that I have exceeded the standard by adding sunflower seeds, and now you can tell that I have met someone?

In the next sentence, do you want to ask if this fruit was given to me by a man named Bai Luo?

"Did a man named Bai Luo give you this fruit?"

"..."

Although Xiang Ling said nothing, the words were written on her face.

Zhongli is almost certain that Bai Luo is in Mondstadt right now.

The slightly bitter tea diluted the sour feeling in his mouth, and Zhongli looked very stable.

In fact, Xiangling had noticed some changes in him.

Some kind of indescribable change.

It's a pity that he hasn't given up his position as the God of Rock yet and can't rush into that free land.

Otherwise, he would have been unable to restrain himself and wanted to fly over.

"Please help me pack it."

After two mouthfuls, even Prince Yan couldn't bear it.

After washing the taste in his mouth with tea again, Zhongli said.

"Pack?"

Zhongli has been coming to Wanmin Hall to eat for so long, and he basically eats everything in one go, and then gives his own comments.

But the act of packing was the first time.

"Well, it's so delicious, I want my friends to taste it together."

"Is it still the old rule to record it in the account of the Rebirth Hall?"

Xiangling asked after bringing in the account book.

"No, this time it will be recorded in the account of Mr. Beiguo Bank."

...

Bai Luo didn't know what was going on in Liyue, nor did he know that the sunset fruit he thought would be made into jam by Xiangling and then eaten by some unlucky taster would eventually end up in Zhongli's mouth.

Otherwise...he would never be as leisurely as he is now.

Now he is walking on the snow-capped mountains with Lu Maomao in his arms.

When he left before, he promised Yin to visit him regularly.

Calculating the time, it's almost time.

He did not alert the nearby Fool soldiers and walked to the cave alone.

Far away, he saw a pitch-black cat lying lazily on the snow at the entrance of the cave, basking in the sun and licking its fur.

Although the sun is not very harsh, for Sharaf, who has not seen the sun for a long time, he still cherishes it.

Not that he didn't want to run away.

But now, let alone leaving Longji Snow Mountain, he might not be able to run very far before he would freeze to death on the mountain.

Even if he could not freeze to death, it would be difficult for him to hide his fur in the snow-capped mountains.

What's more, if he turns back into a human, he's not sure whether his lost organs will come back.

All in all, being a cat is pretty good.

Halfway through licking, he noticed that the sunlight seemed to be blocked by something.

And this thickness doesn't look like clouds.

Raising his head subconsciously, Sharaf was so frightened that his hair exploded.

That... that man!

"Where's the silver?"

Looking at the black cat in front of him, Bai Luo asked aloud.

"Meow......"

Wei Rui felt a cry, and Sharaf stretched out his paw and pointed at the cave behind him.

Bai Luo ignored him and walked straight into the cave with Lu Maomao in his arms.

As soon as he entered the cave, a figure doing experiments caught his eye.

However, compared with Bai Luo's impression, Yin's alchemy skills seemed to have declined, because he seemed a little in a hurry when he was doing experiments.

Sometimes even some containers are accidentally knocked over when putting materials.

"What are you mixing?"

When doing alchemy experiments, the most taboo thing is for someone to interrupt.

Or speak suddenly like this from behind.

Because disturbing the alchemists may cause errors in the proportion of materials in their hands, which may cause unnecessary trouble.

But Bai Luo, who has been with Yin for a while, knows very well that this guy looks clumsy, but he is actually a veteran in this field.

Not to mention that he was talking to him, even if Du Lin woke up one day, as long as the experiment in his hands was not over, he would never be affected.

But......
Chapter completed!
