บท 67: Chapter 67
As expected of one of Mondstadt's finest restaurants—the food was absolutely delicious.
The pan-fried meat was cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside while remaining tender inside. The sauce had a sweet note to it, but wasn't cloying, with a hint of mint-like freshness.
And the Windblume Stew, or rather the Windblume Hotpot, was equally delightful.
Overall, considering this was their first time trying it, one could say it rivaled even Xiangling's cooking.
"Senior Sister, when we're in Mondstadt, if you don't feel like cooking, we could come here to eat," Jiang Ning suggested.
Shenhe pursed her lips. "I... still prefer watching you eat the food I make, little junior brother."
This had become one of Shenhe's favorite pastimes now—watching her junior brother, her beloved, happily eating the meals she prepared. This must be what Master meant by happiness.
"Alright then, we'll eat Senior Sister's cooking... though I wonder if our accommodation will have a kitchen," Jiang Ning said.
He thought to himself that he might need to show off his own cooking skills too, as Senior Sister would sometimes unconsciously act cute, like when she wanted him to cook.
As they were thinking about this, Huixin seemed to have found them, accompanied by a Knight of Favonius.
"So this is where you two were," Huixin said.
"Sister Huixin, have you eaten? Would you like to join us?" Jiang Ning asked with a smile.
Huixin shook her head. "No need, I already ate with Grand Master Jean. I came looking for you two..."
"Looking for us?"
Huixin replied with slight exasperation, "Are you planning to stay up all night? You ran off without even knowing where you're staying."
Jiang Ning finally realized this was true and felt a bit embarrassed.
"Well, now that I've found you, come with me. We're staying at the Goth Grand Hotel, and we've reserved an entire floor."
Though there were only four or five people, they had booked the whole floor for privacy, as one of the main purposes of this diplomatic mission was for Ningguang's business.
Therefore, all expenses were covered by the Tianquan.
"The Goth Grand Hotel?" Jiang Ning was surprised.
"Is something wrong?" Huixin asked, puzzled.
Jiang Ning shook his head. "No, nothing."
If he remembered correctly, wasn't this hotel supposed to be booked by the Fatui? Perhaps it was because the story events hadn't started yet?
Right, it was supposed to be reserved for the upcoming visit of La Signora of the Fatui.
By booking it first, they might even encounter the Fatui.
When paying the bill, Jiang Ning experienced the same satisfaction as his master Zhongli.
"Please charge this to Angel's Share," Jiang Ning said.
It seemed Diluc had already notified all the businesses in Mondstadt, as Sara didn't question it and just smiled as she accepted the bill.
Following Huixin to the Goth Grand Hotel, Jiang Ning asked, "How was your work today?"
Huixin responded, "It went smoothly, but we'll still need to stay in Mondstadt for a week."
"During that time, as I said before, leave it to me. I've been to Mondstadt several times. If you and Shenhe want to go sightseeing, feel free to do so. Didn't you say you had some people to meet?"
"Thank you, sister," Jiang Ning said.
"It's nothing," Huixin replied.
After arriving at the hotel and selecting their rooms, everyone retired for the night.
Of course, Shenhe, who had been holding back for so long, would definitely share a room with Jiang Ning.
The night passed quietly...
The next morning, Jiang Ning woke up early to practice his spear techniques in the hotel's private courtyard.
This area had also been reserved by the Liyue delegation, so privacy was guaranteed.
As for Shenhe...
Thinking about this, Jiang Ning felt quite proud.
Last night, he had employed various techniques—Cryo element for cooling, Geo element for hardness, resentful energy for attack power and critical hits, along with the Lich God's omnipotence and soul-calming techniques for endurance.
With energy absorption active throughout, he had essentially created his own "Dual Cultivation" technique.
In one night, he had his fun, finally taking the lead, and Shenhe had passed out with her eyes rolled back.
Moreover, both his and Shenhe's control over elemental power and overall strength had slightly increased.
[Host, you're impressive! You actually managed to create your own dual cultivation technique. If this were in a casual side story, you'd definitely be a Patriarch of the Harmony Sect or Dual Cultivation Sect.]
The system praised.
"Let's stay humble... it was all thanks to your inspiration."
Though he said this, Jiang Ning's smile couldn't be wider.
From now on, he practically had an indestructible kidney.
Looking at the spear emanating wind element in his hands, Jiang Ning smiled.
Finally, he had completely mastered this weapon.
Jiang Ning was very satisfied.
"Junior Brother..."
Shenhe wasn't wearing her usual celestial attire, but instead a white Daoist robe. Combined with her snow-white hair, she looked like a princess from a winter wonderland.
"Senior Sister, why didn't you rest longer?"
Jiang Ning quickly went to support Shenhe, his sharp eyes noticing that her legs were trembling.
Shenhe's beautiful face reddened, looking absolutely stunning.
"I... I'm sorry I passed out last night."
"It's fine..." Jiang Ning said.
Why did Senior Sister have to bring this up? And was this something that needed an apology?
Seeing Jiang Ning's embarrassed expression, Shenhe made up her mind.
In the future, she could allow Junior Brother to take concubines...
Miss Ying'er had said that in such situations, women needed to take charge and show the magnanimity and dignity of the primary wife.
If Jiang Ning knew that Ying'er had taught his Senior Sister this, he would definitely give Ying'er a thumbs up.
This was practically divine assistance.
Shenhe thought silently that, following the principle of keeping wealth within the family, perhaps... she should first draw Ganyu Senior Sister in?
Come to think of it, there were also several sister disciples from Madam Ping's side, and if worst came to worst, Yuheng Star also had a good relationship with Junior Brother.
Oh right, she almost forgot about Hu Tao, who often kept Junior Brother out late at night.
Thinking about it this way, Shenhe felt less urgent. Her Junior Brother was quite popular indeed.
"Senior Sister, rest a bit. I'll make breakfast today. After you've rested, we'll go see Grand Master Jean."
Jiang Ning said.
He hadn't forgotten that he still had a letter to deliver to Grand Master Jean.
The official correspondence had been carried by Sister Huixin, but Ningguang's personal letter was entrusted specifically to him for hand delivery.
Besides, Grand Master Jean... he wondered what she looked like.
Would she be the same as in the game's story?
Jiang Ning hadn't pulled Jean yet, so he was very curious about why everyone said:
"Jean's posterior is the Knights' soul."
For some reason, Jiang Ning was looking forward to today's meeting.
