"I really want you to have some fun." Ye Lan patted Liu Bai again. "Alright, I'll arrange rooms for you. By the way, do you want to put some people out of your pot?"
"Prepare three or four more rooms, there might still be quite a few people."
There will definitely be people in the pot, not only those who are doing serious work, but also everyone who needs to relax.
There is also a Mebius and Mei outside the pot.
"Hmm... alright, I'll just give you two floors, since hardly anyone lives here anyway," Ye Lan said readily.
To put it bluntly, although the guest rooms in Qunyu Pavilion are for entertaining guests, given the current situation, no one is qualified to stay here unless those major powers come.
Ye Lan led the group into the magnificent ancient-style building. After talking with the person in charge, Ye Lan turned around and said, "The top two floors are everyone's rooms. Three meals a day will be provided. If there are any problems, you can call someone at any time. Just come and register. Liu Bai, please bring out the people you want to add as well."
Liu Bai nodded slightly, then turned around and found a secluded place to release Inazuma and the others, Kafka, Katsura Naifen, and the Anti-Entropy group.
When they got back, the person in charge of the small building and Ye Lan both twitched at the sight of the huge crowd behind Liu Bai.
No, bringing so many people at once is a bit... never mind, it's not shameless anyway.
We can afford to support just this many people.
The group that came and went was much larger than the entire Taixu Mountain group, and they were all women.
Hmm... Ye Lan sensed a considerable sense of crisis.
As for the girl at the front desk, her eyelids twitched even more.
As a veteran who has worked here for several years, she recognized quite a few people in this large group.
The lady from the Fox Palace even waved to her.
The receptionist suppressed her emotional fluctuations and processed the check-in procedures for everyone.
"Mr. Liu Bai, if you bring anyone else, please remember to register here," the receptionist gently reminded him after he finished registering.
Their professionalism is off the charts.
"Thank you."
After thanking him, Liu Bai didn't plan to go upstairs first.
"I'm going to look around first, Kafka, I'll leave the room arrangements to you."
“No problem.” Kafka chuckled and nodded, without asking Liu Bai if he needed bodyguards while he was out.
Stop joking. Liu Bai fought one-on-one. Although he won by using tricks, he still managed to defeat Lei Yingdian. This kind of strength doesn't need any protection.
Many people present were actually following Liu Bai, and they probably didn't even know who was protecting whom.
"Brother Liu Bai! I want to go too!" Li Sushang raised her hand, looking eager.
“Then I’ll go protect you, boss!” Gui Naifen also raised her hand.
Firstly, she could enjoy a "pseudo-two-person world" with Liu Bai, and secondly, she was also very interested in Li Sushang here.
—Especially in terms of development.
She's about the same age as Changchang, whom she knows, but her chest... is at least one and a half times the size of Changchang's, right?
Is it because of Earth's unique environment?
Gui Naifen inexplicably felt a sense of crisis—perhaps it was the innate antagonism between best friends.
I really want to smash this woman's chest flat with my bare hands...
Kujo Sara, who was standing next to her, moved her lips, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Oh well, one more chance won't make a difference.
"Brother-in-law~"
"Stop fooling around." Zhen pulled her younger sister back from behind, who was about to act spoiled.
Who knows what switch my sister has awakened? Lately, she's been acting all cute and clingy towards Liu Bai.
"Go play if you want, don't cause trouble for Lord Liu Bai."
"Okay, sister..."
"Then I'll take my leave too." Ye Lan didn't stand on ceremony, and didn't even have time to pay attention to the so-called "brother-in-law." After finishing up here, she rushed to Yuehai Pavilion.
Seeing Yelan's appearance, Zhen pulled Kujo Sara and the others over and whispered a few words of advice to them.
"When you finish cleaning the room and go out, talk to the merchants. It seems like things aren't going well in Liyue. See if there's anything we can do to help."
"Understood." The men accepted the order.
It's truly disheartening. Liyue and Far East are separated by the sea. If something serious were to happen, no one might be able to escape this vortex.
…………
"This place... really looks like our Immortal Ship."
Gui Naifen curiously surveyed the bustling Liyue Harbor.
For Gui Naifen, the academy, theater, snack stalls, and even the chess and card shop felt like home.
The street vendor mentality in our blood is reviving.
"Hey? The Immortal Boat! Brother Liu Bai told me the story of the Immortal Boat!" Li Sushang and Gui Naifen got along very well, and upon hearing this, they immediately started chatting.
Although Gui Naifen felt a sense of crisis, she would not be Gui Naifen if she distanced herself from Li Sushang because of this.
The two quickly struck up a conversation.
Liu Bai sent several messages to Mebius, asking where she was.
"Where else could it be but Wanmintang! Liu Bai, come quick! I'm completely fed up with this little devil!"
Mebius's reply revealed an uncontrollable temper.
"...So it really is at Wanmin Hall."
Liu Bai scratched his head.
Wait a minute, if we check the timeline, Wanmintang hasn't fired Mei yet?
With Mei's god-killing cuisine and negative cooking skills, a normal restaurant wouldn't accept an apprentice like that, right?
...Could it be that Mei made some kind of poisonous dish and controlled Master Mao of Wanmintang?
If we think about it from a more terrifying perspective, could it be that the chaos in Liyue that has Yelan on high alert was not caused by Mei?
For example, what if someone carelessly dumped poisonous food and fed it to a Godzilla?
...Cough, okay, that's a bit far-fetched.
"What's wrong, boss?"
Upon hearing Liu Bai cough lightly, Gui Naifen immediately shifted her attention to him.
"I've thought of something scary. Let's go get something to eat first."
"Huh? At this hour?" Gui Naifen looked up at the sun.
Although it's afternoon, there should still be some time before lunch.
"Just pretend I'm hungry." Bai reached out and took Gui Naifen's hand.
In an instant, Gui Naifen's body went limp, and she wore a submissive expression that said, "I'll leave it to you."
"Well, we really need to find a place to eat." Gui Naifen was still trying her best to appear normal.
Li Sushang: "..."
Why do these two exude such a cheesy, mushy vibe?
Could it be that these two...
As Li Sushang looked at the two hands clasped together, her eyes gradually filled with shock as she imagined the scene unfolding before her.
Wait a minute! If these two are related, what about my second senior uncle?
Li Sushang scratched her head, but the next moment she realized that she had drifted a little far away from the two people because she was lost in thought.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
…………
Manmin Hall.
Even though it wasn't dinner time, there was a long queue at Wanmintang, and the place was bustling with activity.
In the kitchen, Mebius stood with his head raised, looking at the young man in front of him.
"Mei, you'll never become a master chef in your life."
"That's just because I didn't try hard enough."
The purple-haired girl's answer made Mebius roll his eyes.
Effort? You fucking genius, talking to me about effort?
If hard work were so effective, what would be the point of having two people like us?
When I was in my early twenties, I had already kicked all those old men in their seventies and eighties in the same field to death, okay?
At your age, a high school student, you're already practically unrivaled in the field of physics.
And then you're here telling me to work hard?
Well, hard work isn't entirely useless; it can be helpful when facing some incredibly difficult projects.
But the problem is...
"So, Mei, your efforts are to make beef look like Cthulhu?"
Mebius pointed at the freshly cooked dishes, practically ready to unleash a torrent of abuse.
"I could throw two pounds of beef into a Honkai Impact Response Furnace and let it marinate for a year, and it would look more edible than this!"
"Just a few setbacks."
Mei adjusted her glasses, remaining unmoved by Mebius's disparaging remarks.
"If you can't even face this kind of setback, then what are you talking about in scientific research?"
"Hehe, if I saw myself making this kind of thing, I would definitely switch projects without saying a word."
Mebius was so angry that he laughed.
The most disastrous project she has is her dream: the evolution of humanity, or the creation of a new kind of human.
But no matter how crazy she is, she would never name the tentacle monster "New Human" after creating it.
Even if it's perfect, it won't work! If she actually creates a tentacle monster, she'll destroy it all without saying a word.
The prerequisite for a new type of human is that they must still be human!
She despises the ugly side of humanity, but does not deny that it is also a necessary part of humanity.
Similarly, even if your cooking is terrible, at least what you make has to be a dish! It has to be something that makes people want to eat it!
You're making something that no one would dare to eat, and you're talking to me about facing setbacks?
Mei glanced at Mebius, seemingly too lazy to bother with him.
But Mebius was clearly not going to let his advantage go unchallenged.
"Okay, so you're facing setbacks, right? Then you should face those setbacks properly first."
Mebius picked up the plate and chopsticks, preparing to feed the "Cthulhu's eyeball" from the plate to Mei.
A hint of panic finally appeared in Mei's eyes—although she wasn't good at cooking, her sense of taste was still normal.
"Who... Dr. Mebius! Sister Mei! Someone outside is looking for you two!"
A cheerful female voice rang out. It was Mao Xiangling, Master Mao's daughter, who was now working as his assistant, speaking while clinging to the door frame.
At the same time, Xiangling's gaze also fell upon the "Cthulhu's eyeball" that Mebius was about to feed.
"Hey! Miss Mei has come up with new ingredients again!"
Xiangling looked at the strangely shaped eyeballs on the plate, whose ingredients were so unrecognizable, and a happy expression appeared on her face.
Beside him, Chef Mao, drenched in sweat, wiped his brow and glanced at the unusual food on his plate. This middle-aged man, who had been a chef for over twenty years, couldn't help but wipe his sweat again.
He glanced again at his daughter, whose face was beaming with joy.
