"Feng Yi, come and try my new dish, White Jade Pearls!"
Xiangling brought a plate of appetizer first.
Feng Yi took a bite, "Mmm... this white radish is really tender!"
Then came the main course: Slime Banquet!
Slime Jelly Mushroom, Slime Pizza, Slime Rice Bowl...
It was incredible. There was nothing Xiangling couldn't cook that Feng Yi couldn't imagine.
No wonder he hadn't seen any wild slimes on his journey from Mondstadt.
"We don't have many ingredients left. I plan to spend another year or so honing my culinary skills to perfection, and then I'll set off to travel across Teyvat and search for other interesting ingredients!"
Xiangling sat beside Feng Yi, sharing her grand plan.
Her first destination was Mondstadt, where she heard the wild boar meat was of higher quality.
"That's a great plan. Perhaps we'll have a chance to meet again in another country!"
Feng Yi said to Xiangling as he ate.
He had a feeling that he would definitely meet Xiangling in another country in the future!
"I'm also looking forward to that day!"
Xiangling's eyes sparkled with anticipation for the unknown journey. However, before she set off, she had to learn all of her father's culinary skills.
After the meal, Feng Yi put Yuanbao back into the Serenitea Pot, then carrying a cup of milk tea, he went to the Jade Chamber.
Ningguang seemed to have known he was coming, and had her secretary, Baishi, waiting at the door. As soon as Feng Yi arrived, he was led to Ningguang's study.
"Feng Lang, I've been waiting for you for so long~"
As the Tianquan of Liyue, she naturally had her own intelligence network. Ningguang had already known when Feng Yi entered Liyue's territory.
"Ningguang, I'm sorry to keep you waiting..."
Feng Yi placed the milk tea on Ningguang's desk, then sat beside her, putting his arm around her slender waist.
"As compensation, Feng Lang, how about you play a game with me?"
Ningguang looked at Feng Yi with seductive eyes. She wasn't the Tianquan in charge of Liyue's affairs at this moment, but a woman who had been waiting for her lover to return.
"Alright!"
Feng Yi readily agreed.
Then, they played a game of investment.
"Ningguang, you're well-informed. I'd like to ask you, when will Beidou, who leads the '16th Crux Fleet,' return to port in Liyue?"
Earlier, Feng Yi had specifically taken some time to visit Liyue Harbor. Through conversations with fishermen, he learned that Beidou and her '16th Crux Fleet' had been at sea for a long time, and he didn't know when they would return.
Feng Yi then thought of Ningguang, who had a close relationship with Beidou. As a former rival and close friend, Ningguang should have an exclusive communication channel with Beidou.
"What? Am I not enough for you? You've got your eye on that woman?"
Ningguang's heart felt a little sour when Feng Yi mentioned another woman, and her tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I have important business with her, not what you're thinking!"
Feng Yi stated: "I, a noble gentleman, don't use your dirty mind to speculate about my noble character."
Feng Yi kissed Ningguang's cherry lips, stopping her wild thoughts.
"Really? If you really like her, I can pack her up and send her to your bed!"
Ningguang said as if testing him. If Feng Yi dared to agree, she would make sure his kidneys paid the price that day.
"No thanks. I plan to go to Inazuma in about half a year. I'll need to take a boat to cross the sea then. Among the ships traveling between Liyue and Inazuma, Beidou's '16th Crux Fleet' is the most reliable..."
Feng Yi gently squeezed Ningguang's smooth and soft waist and said softly.
He really needed Beidou for important matters. Why didn't Ningguang believe him?
"I see. Beidou went to the distant Watatsumi Island in Inazuma this time. Counting the days, she should be returning soon. She'll be back in the next few days. When she returns, I'll invite her over and have someone notify you!"
Ningguang nestled in Feng Yi's embrace, calculating the approximate situation.
"Mm, thank you for your trouble!"
With Ningguang's help, Feng Yi's task became much easier.
"This is nothing troublesome. It's just... Feng Lang, if possible, try not to go to Inazuma at this time..."
Ningguang's brow furrowed slightly. According to reports from her spies in Inazuma, major events beyond anyone's control might be about to occur there.
For the past half a month, Inazuma had been in a state of high alert, and prices had soared.
There were rumors that Inazuma might close its borders.
As for why they would close the country, the spies' positions were not high enough to obtain more core information, so she didn't know.
Therefore, compared to the peaceful and stable Mondstadt, Ningguang didn't want Feng Yi to get involved in the troubles of Inazuma.
"I'm not unprepared. Besides, I'm not someone who's inflexible. If I encounter insurmountable danger, I'll run away beforehand!"
Feng Yi lay on the blanket, holding the equally naked Ningguang in his arms.
"Don't you trust your man's strength?"
Saying that, Feng Yi drew his sword and mounted his horse, letting Ningguang experience his strength.
Here, 500 words are omitted.
"I trust your strength, but..."
Ningguang lay weakly on Feng Yi's chest, but the rest of her sentence remained unspoken.
"Alright, it's time for you to see my true trump card!"
Feng Yi thought of Ningguang possibly smashing the Jade Chamber two years later.
He planned to use his River God Domain then to catch the ruined Jade Chamber and present the golden and jade Jade Chamber as a gift to his beloved Ningguang.
However, before that, Feng Yi decided to first practice with Ningguang to avoid any misunderstandings.
"My true trump card?"
Ningguang asked curiously, drawing circles on Feng Yi's chest with her small hand.
"Mmm, before that, there's something I need to clarify with you. No matter what happens later, don't panic. Stay calm and answer my questions honestly. Do you understand?"
Feng Yi possessed a golden bell that could heal souls. Even if Ningguang answered incorrectly, her soul could be quickly restored. But wouldn't it be better not to get hurt at all?
"Don't worry, I'm always very calm."
Seeing Feng Yi's rare serious expression, Ningguang became even more curious about the trump card Feng Yi mentioned.
Seeing this, Feng Yi took the Visions from Ningguang's clothes and placed them into her hands.
Then, they sat facing each other, and he clapped his hands on the carpet.
River God Domain – Activate!
The plush carpet was instantly replaced by a deep and pure water surface, which expanded to form a secret spherical domain, encompassing Feng Yi and Ningguang.
"Young Ningguang! Did you drop this golden Vision, or this silver Vision, or this ordinary Vision that you intended to sell?!"
