Genjin: I don't want to fall in love with Yae Gongji

Chapter 272 Keqing’s thoughts

The two searched for a while and found Ke Qing's figure on the steps below Yujing Terrace.

"Keqing, you are here."

Hearing Paimon's words, Keqing turned around and said, "You are here."

"Huh? Why do you look worried?" Paimon asked doubtfully.

"Keqing, what do you seem to be thinking about?"

Hearing the two people's concern, Ke Qing was silent for a while, and finally said, "Ying, I encountered a difficult matter. In this competition, I voted for Yan Xiao."

"Are Keqing worried about not being able to vote for Xiangling?" Paimeng said on the side.

"No, as a judge, you should be fair. This vote is a decision I made after careful consideration. I have a clear conscience."

"Xiang Ling is my friend. I should confess this matter to her due to both emotions and reasons."

"But you also know that my thoughts only represent my personal position after all. Xiangling may not be able to understand me as a contestant, and I am not good at dealing with people with that kind of personality... Oh, it's really hard to speak." Ke Qing told own thoughts.

"I think it doesn't matter anymore. Don't worry about the rhetoric. Xiangling won't mind it at first sight. Besides, she won in the end."

Not long after Paimon's words fell, Xiangling came here, walking over the steps lightly.

"You are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."

When the three heard Xiang Ling's voice, they all turned their heads.

Ke Qing also said at this time, "Xiang Ling, there is something... I want to tell you."

Hearing Keqing's words, Xiangling came over and said curiously, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"My grandfather said that if food is a competition, you should follow your heart. That is to say, when there is a dispute or competition over food, you should vote for the party you care about more. This matter should be based on your heart and not be influenced by others. Influenced by external forces.”

"Of course, this is just my grandfather's personal opinion, but I do think what he said makes sense...so...although I am your friend, I still voted for Yan Xiao, the Immortal Jumping Over the Wall..."

"Is it for the golden shrimp balls?" Ying said from the side.

Hearing these words, Xiangling laughed out loud, "Pfft...", and even subconsciously covered her stomach.

Seeing Xiangling's reaction, Keqing was somewhat panicked.

"That's right, what's the matter! I just like golden shrimp balls, can't I?"

"Don't dare." Ying heard the words and quickly defended.

"Looking at the seriousness on your face, I thought something was wrong! It doesn't matter, I don't mind at all."

Hearing Xiangling's words, Keqing was subconsciously surprised, "Huh?"

"What Keqing did was just vote and vote for the side of his choice. It's absolutely fine. Besides, that's how it is. Otherwise, wouldn't the game be unfair?"

"Well...you would tell me this specifically, aren't you just worried that you are not interesting enough as a friend?"

"Cough... cough cough...! How could it be possible..." Hearing this, Ke Qing defended herself a little.

"Hey, did I say it? I just really appreciate Keqing's seriousness, because for me now, it's meaningless without a persistent opinion."

"The pursuit of comfort is what a novice does. I am no longer a novice. From now on, the dishes I will cook and the road I will take will be more challenging than now. I really need a friend like you,"

"On the other hand, Keqing, you are really too responsible. Sometimes you really don't have to be so responsible. You are Qixing and yourself. When you are with friends, you don't need to think so carefully."

It is precisely because of the concern of friends that Xiangling also gave an example.

"You know Miss Ningguang is like this, right? Sister Beidou told me several times that she and Ningguang are very familiar, and they even play chess on the boat."

"Miss Ningguang is very daring to play, she won't put on status and airs! You should also learn from her, and relax when it's time to relax."

"What Xiang Ling said makes sense. You should do your best when working, but when you are not working, you should relax and make yourself happier." Ying agreed with Xiang Ling's opinion. "Traveler...Xiangling..."

Keqing lowered her head when she heard the words, then thought of something and raised her head again.

"Yes, that's right, we can't stand here stupidly, we have to go and see the condition of the Kitchen God statue!"

"Ah, I almost forgot about that, I still want to go over and have a look." Pamon said in surprise.

So the three of them went to Yujing Terrace together, where they can now see a huge stone, and this huge stone is actually the statue of the Kitchen God.

It is said that the stone statue can be fully activated only when certain special conditions are met, so Ying has been busy with Xiangling on this matter in the days before the competition.

Now, Ying, Xiangling and Keqing were standing in front of the stone statue and observing.

"It's strange, this stone hasn't changed at all?" Paimon said doubtfully.

Xiangling felt a little disappointed when she saw that the stone statue had not changed.

"How could this happen...the game is obviously so exciting..."

"Actually, doesn't it mean that the game failed to revive the Kitchen God Statue?"

Regarding this matter, Keqing was silent for a moment before speaking, "It seems... there is still no fate."

"There is still time, don't worry. Maybe it's because some key steps are missing, so the statue doesn't wake up." Ying comforted everyone and expressed her own views on this.

"Yes, yes, it has taken a long time anyway, so it won't be short of this."

Paimon agreed, then turned to look at Xiang Ling.

"Is it a Xiangling?"

"Well! There's still time, just wait, we're all with you."

"Speaking of which, Ke Jing, I have good news to tell you. The recipe you told me about before is actually very interesting!"

Xiangling comforted Keqing while announcing another good news.

"The master chef came here before the competition and made up the words on the recipe for me. I can make this dish now!"

"So I'll find a place to cook it for you right away. Just wait for me!"

"Xiangling..."

Xiangling then looked at Ying again and said.

"By the way, the travelers are coming too, is that okay?"

"Huh? This guy Xiang Ling just defeated Yan Xiao, is he going to challenge us now?" Paimeng said doubtfully after hearing this.

"Let me take this opportunity to confess. In fact, I can be regarded as the hidden God of Cooking. But if we really talk about the God of Cooking, it must be your Arctic Ziwei Emperor of Liyue."

Hearing this, Xiangling waved her hand.

"No! Don't you like to collect recipes? I see that you are traveling around, so I probably need this dish very much, so I want to share it with you."

"But I don't know about Lord Dijun's cooking skills. After all, I haven't tasted his cooking, so I can't comment."

"So that's it, we thought too badly of them." Paimon said from the side.

"Xiang Ling is really a great chef, but regarding Mr. Dongfang's cooking skills, Paimon actually has the most say."

"Speaking of that strange god, his cooking is absolutely top-notch, so the dishes he makes can be regarded as delicacies in the world." After hearing Ying's words, Paimon commented on that person's cooking skills.
