Good Karma

Temporary haven

"Traveler!"
Ganyu greeted the traveler with a small head nod, waving to Paimon.

"Ganyu what are you doing outside of Liyue harbor?"
Paimon asked, swaying from side to side.

"I must help the Adepti with small affairs. I am very busy so I must hurry."
Ganyu explained.

This came to no surprise because Ganyu was working for the Qixing. However, running the help the Adepti at this time of night was odd.

"We can help."
Aether offered, putting on the small and sweet smile.

"Traveler are you alright? You look tired."
Ganyu examined the traveler up close.

"Thanks Yangu but I'm fine."
Ganyu tilted her head in confusion.
"Yangu?"
She asked.

Aether had realized his mistake too late. "Ganyu I'm sorry-"
Ganyu nodded to the traveler.

"There's a spare home owned by the Qixing. It is one of Liyue's secluded treasures, please help yourselves. Ill check on you when I have time."

Ganyu explained. She handed Aether a small metal box before running towards the lands of the Adepti.

"Aether that means we get a free night in a rich people place!"
Paimon throws her hands up in excitement.

"We should find the place first, and what about Katherine commissions?"
Paimon put on an annoyed expression.

"Why go to Katherine when we can go to a fancy HOUSE with PROBABLY GOOD FOOD."
Paimon rubbed her belly in circles.

"Sticky honey roast, stir fried noodles, grilled fish~"
Aether slapped his forehead as a gesture for Paimon. When he felt his forehead, he was burning hot.

Paimon however played no attention to the frantic Aether in front of her, instead going brown her long list of dishes.

"Paimon..Paimon!"
Aether shook Paimon to wake her from her food daydream.
"We need to go to bubu pharmacy first."

Aether stated it as more of a question. "We can do commissions later! Let's gooo~"
Paimon grabbed the metal box, examining the exterior.

"It says, forward, walk right, talk to Xiuhua, she will seat you."
Paimon repeats the order while floating down Liyue's sidewalks.

Aether could feel himself losing consciousness but he pushed the thought away.

"Paimon wait up!"
Aether chased after Paimon, who already was near the blacksmith.
Paimon went left from there, carefully counting her steps.

Once she had gone left she went left again. The "house"

"Hello! We're looking for a Xiuhua?"
Paimon asked the lady.
A young lady with short hair and brown glasses greeted them.

"I am Xiuhua, one of the service staff here at Baiju guesthouse."
Xiuhua examines the box Paimon is holding.

"Please hand me the box."
Paimon hands Xiuhua the box, she opens it revealing a key with a gold dragon wrapped around it.

"Please follow me this way."
Xiuhua opens the doors of the guesthouse.

The guest house is at least 3 stories. The stairs are made of wood accompanied by gold cracks.

Like marble except brown and gold.
The vicinity was huge. Inside a person greeted them.

"Hello, I am Mei Xing. I am one of the staff here, may we lead you to your housing?"
The woman had black hair and wore the same dress as Xiuhua which was a small brown and off white dress.

Aether and Paimon follow Mei Xing up the stairs. Once they had gotten to the fourth floor Mei Xing and Xiuhua both opened doors to a luxurious villa.

The furnishing were very authentic to Liyue's culture.
Almost as pretty as the gold chamber.
Aether and Paimon looked around. There were two bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living rooms, and a large balcony to tie it together:

"Where's the kitchen?!"
Paimon asked.

Mei Xing handed Paimon a small golden bell.

"If you ring this whatever you wish will be given to you, please enjoy your stay."
Mei Xing and Xiuhua do a small bow before leaving.

"WOAH!!!"
Paimon floated towards the balcony.

There were two chairs and a small coffee table.
Paimon floated onto on of the chairs.

"Soooo COMFYY."
Paimon exclaimed, the chairs were made of Sandbearer wood and a cushions made of cotton.

"Aether what's wrong?"
Aether looks up at Paimon who seemed to be slowly disappearing.

"I'm a bit tired."
Aether explained, "I'm gonna go to bed, wake me up before 7 please."

Aether left the balcony, stumbling down the hallway.
Aether opens the door furthest down the hall.

He then flopped onto the bed, falling into a deep slumber.

One he may not wake up from.
