Liyue. A very beautiful Chinese country. That reminds me, the Lantern Rite is two months and a half away.

Morax, how are you? It has been a while since we last spoke face to face. The last thing I remember was you in the Archon war.

You taking place in the Archon's made me feel alone than I was before. Even with her around, my mind would lead to you and Barbatos.

"Y/n! Come, I'd like for you to try my new dish!" A very cheery young woman had broken me out of my thoughts and it was none other than Xiangling.

"I'd be happy to" I soften my eyes and she excitedly grab my arm. What was she doing out of her resturaunt. Did she get more ingredients?

We were getting weird stares and I saw people whispering to each other. A young woman giggling and dragging an older woman. I feel like a mother and Xiangling as my daughter, dragging me around and wanting me to buy her stuff.

"Alrighty then. I'll be back with the new dishes-hehE!" She squicked at the end of her sentence. She ran off inside and started doing what she does best.

I sat down at an empty table and waited. I looked around and watch as the people pass by. Markets doing what they do best.

Liyue feels more settled than Mondstadt. Wait. Am I supposed to be in Mondstadt. Am I allowed to leave. I did say I was going to protect and not live there so there shouldn't be a problem.

What if The Acting Grand Master needs me. What if Mondstadt is in danger. What if the fatui came to destroy Mondstadt. What if-

"Y/nnnnnnn"

I look over to my right and see Xiangling running at be with a pot in her hands. She seems to be a master with a pot because she isn't spilling whatever is inside of it.

She places it on the table and I look inside. Oh, dumplings. Wait, shes made these before, I thought this was going to be a new dish.

"This isn't the new dish I was talking about, I'm still preparing it, but for now, have these extra spicy jueyun chili soup dumplings. I made them extra spicy, just how you like it." Then she ran off.

Extra spicy jueyun chili dumplings. I carefully pick one up and use a soup spoon to carry it better. I rip a little hole at the top and drink some of the soup. No spice yet.

I could feel my tounge getting ready for the spiciness. I grab a spoon and add a little bit of soy sauce. I bring the soup spoon to my face and smell the scent. This better be spicy spicy.

I stuff it into my mouth and eat.

.

The spiciness tingles in my cheek but my mouth feels very fine. The spice floods my mouth as my tastebuds feel the extreme spice Xiangling put. These are perfect.

Not even 5 minutes have passed and all of the dumplings have been eaten by me. They were just so delicious to be eaten slow. The spice grew and grew, it felt like someone was cooking a burning pot of soup.

"Y/nnnnnnn"

I wipe off any remains of juice that had been on my face with a paper towel. I look over to see Xiangling, again, but with 3 plates on her arms.

This is gonna take me some time. The food she had prepared wasn't just a meal, it looked like a full buffet.

Oh jeez...
