A Traveler From Hell (Genshin Impact X Female Alastor Reader)

Chapter 49

"Third-Round Knockout.. This seems to be the place. I hope I didn't arrived too late.. no matter, I always arrive with style either way." you exclaimed with a large grin as you went towards the establishment and found Zhongli seated at one of the tables.

"Good evening, Mr. Zhongli!" you greeted, taking a seat besides the male as you grinned at him.

"(Y/N), you came. Ah, yes. There is no need to order. I've already done so. Is Aether and Paimon not coming?" Zhongli asked, giving you a warm smile in return.

"They'll be coming a bit late than expected. They went to do a few commissions." you answered, looking at the various dishes on the table in front of you.

"I see. Then let us start eating, we mustn't let the food get cold." Zhongli suggested as you nodded in reply.

'These dishes look good but..' you thought as you felt your eye twitch in annoyance when you saw the two wooden sticks.

'Chopsticks.. is there not even any utensils?..' you thought in slight annoyance as you grabbed the chopsticks and stabbed a piece of meat.

You slightly moved your head back when another pair of chopstick entered your vision, holding up the piece you were trying to get. You looked at the owner of the chopsticks and your eyes met with amber ones. Zhongli held out the food to you using his own chopsticks, his other hand just below your chin to make sure the food doesn't fall.

You felt Zhongli's thumb gently tap the edge of your lips. Knowing what he's hinting at, you slowly opened your mouth as Zhongli fed you your meal.

"The food didn't do anything. No need to stab it." Zhongli exclaimed, letting out a small chuckle as he placed his chopsticks down.

"Would you like me to teach you how to use chopsticks?" Zhongli suggested, a smile plastered on his face.

"If I see these things again in the future, I'm sure your teaching will be of assistance." you replied, handing your chopsticks to Zhongli.

----------

You watched in amusement as Zhongli continued to feed you with your chopsticks in his grasp. His hand held your chin while his other hand fed you another portion of the meal.

You gripped on Zhongli's wrist as you gently pushed away the hand that was holding your chin. Zhongli raised a brow at your actions as you gave him a questioning look in return.

"I thought you were going to teach me how to use the utensil?" you asked.

Your grin widened when you noticed Zhongli's cheeks began to redden as he recalled what he was currently doing before looking away and faking a cough.

"Forgive me. I do not know what came over me. I was merely acting on impulse." Zhongli exclaimed, his face turning a light shade of red.

"I suppose it's alright. You did looked like you were enjoying yourself. Who knew that a god would be feeding a demon on impulse. Were you wanting to feed me? Or perhaps.. do something more to me other than just feeding me?" you replied, a smirk gracing your face as you watched the funeral consultant's face turn an even more deeper shade of red while he stared back at you.

You watched as Zhongli faked another cough and lightly glared at you, his amber eyes emitting a small glow. You chuckled as you grabbed another pair of chopsticks on the dining table and handed it to Zhongli.

"Your reddened face is quite amusing. Mind teaching me how to use these now instead of feeding me, darling?" you asked as you lightly waved the chopsticks in front of the amber eyed male's vision.

"Very well." Zhongli replied as he held out his hand towards you, his palm facing up. You let out a grin as you placed the wooden sticks on Zhongli's hand.

You were confused when Zhongli also grasped your hand along with the chopsticks and pulled it close to his face. Your eyes widened in surprise as Zhongli pressed a light kiss on your knuckles.

The two of you heard someone cough as you both looked to see Paimon floating behind Aether who seems to be glaring at Zhongli with a sinister smile plastered on his face.

"You seemed to be getting along well with (Y/N), Mr. Zhongli." Aether exclaimed as his eye twitched in annoyance when he saw Zhongli holding your hand.

You pulled your hand away from the brunette's grasp as Paimon immediately flew to your arms and sat down on your lap.

"Did Mr. Zhongli do anything to you, (Y/N)?" Paimon asked in a whisper while Aether and Zhongli had a glaring contest beside you.

"Not at all! He offered to teach me how to use chopsticks until the two of you came." you answered, not mentioning the fact that Zhongli was feeding you. You decided to let it slide for now, it's nice to be fed and treated like royalty sometimes.

You didn't notice Zhongli glanced at your direction and gave you a thankful look. He was a bit relieved that you didn't say anything about him feeding you. Aether narrowed his eyes when he noticed a small blush appearing on Zhongli's face when he glanced in your direction.

"(Y/N) look! There's even a storyteller here! Such great atmosphere!" Paimon happily exclaimed as she began to munch down on the food.

"My, isn't that interesting?" you replied as you patted Paimon's head and listened to the storyteller's tale.

----------

"That was quite a story!" you commented when you sensed someone staring at you.

"At last I have found you, travelers who returned from Jueyun Karst." a voice exclaimed.

You and your companions looked up to see a girl with light blue hair standing on the rooftop. What caught your attention the most was the horns on either side of her head.

'A demon?.. No, that seems impossible since no demons exist here aside for me..' you thought as you noticed the girl looking at you meekly. You grinned up at the girl and watched as she bashfully looked away from you, making you a bit confused.
