Genshin Impact: Return of the Immortal Realm starts with being chased by Shadow

"Well, are you free tonight?"

"Tonight... I have no problem, but Xiao Gong is busy with the fireworks show, so he may not have time."

"Fireworks?"

"It's the Naganohara Fireworks Festival. The event held by their family is quite famous in Inazuma."

Paimon felt excited when he heard this.

"It sounds like it's fun. Can we set off the fireworks?"

"Of course, you can come and participate when the time comes."

"it is good!"

After chatting for a while, Lin Jinnian asked them about the situation there.

"How are you doing? Is everything going well?"

Pamon explained to him.

Recently, Tianling has been enforcing whatever rituals they have to do over there, and the affairs of the Eye Hunting Order have become much more relaxed. In addition, with the death of Shinsuke Hiiragi, they have even less time to spare.

So now is just a period of repair, where you can take a good rest, slow down, and catch your breath.

"As a celebration banquet, let's have hot pot together tonight."

"Okay."

"But... hey, everyone has to prepare different ingredients to participate in this [hot pot game]."

"Hotpot game?"

"Just close your eyes and take turns taking food from the pot, tasting it, and guessing who put it in."

It doesn't feel good.

Lin Jinnian's intuition told him that someone would definitely put some dark food into it, and this celebration banquet would probably be a disaster.

But when Paimeng saw that Lin Jinnian stopped talking, he took it as his acquiescence.

"Then let's go look for ingredients separately. Meet at Mu Le Teahouse in the evening!"

After separating from the two people, Lin Jinnian thought about what ingredients to prepare, which should be unusual but not too disgusting.

After much deliberation, I decided to prepare some fruits, such as watermelon, pineapple, mango, etc., and some sweets, such as lotus cakes.

It looks like the hot pot game will be a lot of fun this time.

……

In the evening, Lin Jinnian came to Mu Lu Teahouse as promised.

Taro Wan, with his head wrapped in a turban, was still sitting on the counter. When he saw Lin Jinnian coming, he called out.

"Wang!"

"Long time no see Taromaru, how are you doing lately?"

"Wang."

"That's right... um... indeed."

"Wang!"

"Is that so? Then come on, try harder, Taromaru."

"Wang Wang!"

"Okay, okay, then I'll go in first."

Lin Jinnian stepped forward and rubbed Tarang Wan's head before walking in.

Ying and Paimon, who had just arrived outside the door, happened to see this scene and were shocked speechless.

"He...can he understand what that dog is saying?!"

"Seems to be."

So Yingya walked up to Taromaru and tried to call his name.

"Taro Maru?"

"Wang!"

"Can you understand me?"

"Wang!"

"If you understand, just shake your head."

Then Taromaru really shook his head.

"Can you really understand it?!" Paimon had an incredulous expression on his face.

"It seems to be true..."

However, Yingying couldn't understand what Taro Maru was talking about at all.

"He... is really awesome."

So she also followed Lin Jinnian's example and touched Tarang Wan's head, and he rubbed her hand affectionately.

What an amazing...what a cute dog.

Paimon soon joined in...

I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Jinnian was wondering about Ying and Paimeng. According to common sense, these two people would arrive in advance.

He was thinking about looking for them, but as soon as he walked to the front hall, he saw two people playing with their dogs at the counter.

Ok?

"Hehehe... Taromaru... handsome dog."

This is Ying.

"Come on, Taromaru, shake hands."

This is Paimon.

I didn't expect that Ying had such a side in private.

Although Lin Jinnian also wanted to take a few more glances, he couldn't keep Linghua and Toma waiting for too long.

"Ahem, what are you doing here? Come here quickly, the celebration party is about to begin?"

The bodies of the two people who were caught trembled suddenly, and they found out that the person who came was Lin Jinnian, and they said with some embarrassment.

"What a coincidence, we have just arrived."

"Yeah, yeah, we just arrived. We just arrived."

As he spoke, he slipped in from Lin Jinnian.

After they left, Lin Jinnian came to Tarang Wan again and touched its chin.

"It's pretty awesome. I really have you, Taromaru."

"You know, they are very powerful people. They are actually fascinated by you."

"Wang!"

……

Chapter 105 Painful Hot Pot Party

After everyone arrived, the hot pot party started immediately.

The first person to pick up the dishes was Kamisato Ayaka.

She put her chopsticks in the pot and stirred it, then picked out a round object.

"This is……?"

Even Ayaka couldn't recognize what this small gray ball was.

There won't be any problems if you eat it, right?

Although she felt a little uneasy in her heart, she still obeyed the rules of the hot pot game and ate the meatball.

"how do you feel?"

"No big problem, right?"

"Um……"

Kamisato Ayaka put the ball in her mouth, chewed it and tasted it.

"It's a meatball. It tastes pretty normal."

It doesn't look like much... but it tastes pretty good.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayaka was relieved, luckily she didn't eat anything strange.

"Then now it's time to guess who prepared the ingredients."

Thomas said very confidently.

"Come on, miss, take a guess."

"Um……"

There are no clues at all, just guessing...

Kamisato Ayaka looked at Lin Jinnian.

Such simple and normal ingredients should be prepared by him, right?

"Is it Lin Jinnian?"

The rest of the people also followed her gaze and looked at Lin Jinnian.

However, Lin Jinnian just smiled and shook his head.

"not me."

It seems that Kamisato Ayaka thought too well of him, and the ingredients he prepared were not that mild.

"Who is that? Is it Thomas? Or... the Traveler?"

It seems that the two of them are the only ones who are more likely.

But then Paimon stood up and said very unconvinced.

"Hey, Ayaka! Can't you just think about me!"

"Ah...sorry, sorry, it's Paimon."

"Humph."

Paimon put his hands on his hips, looking very angry.

Lin Jinnian came out to rescue Kamisato Ayaka.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised. I thought Paimon would choose some scarier ingredients, but I didn't expect it was just a meatball."

"Who do you think I am!"

"Hahaha, you guys are so funny, but this way, if the eldest lady guesses wrong, she won't get any points."

"It's okay, as long as everyone is happy."

Next it was Lin Jinnian's turn. What he took out was a three-color dumpling that was almost melted by the hot pot.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and eat it. As for the taste... it was really not flattering.

The dumplings were cooked in the hot pot until they were very soft and glutinous, and coupled with the strange smell, they tasted a bit disgusting.

Then under Ying's puzzled gaze, he immediately guessed that it was her who set it off.
