The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

As part of the staple food, the fragrant white rice, the scones that Noelle had just taken out from the stove...the huge amount made Ying's mind short-circuit for a moment.

"Um...Xia Yu, Paimon and I can't finish this much food..." The blond girl who whispered followed the big colander that Xia Yu used to pick up the fried shrimps and turned it up and down. "Although it is a commission reward, is it too much?"

The dazed Ying and Paimon made Xia Yu laugh involuntarily. It seemed that the two of them regarded everything they did as the reward of the mission.It is indeed a bit too much for two people to finish the food for seven or eight people on the table. It is no wonder that Ying Hui is a little confused.

"Of course it's not just for the two of you. Late night snacks are only fun if you all eat them together. You go over there and eat some side dishes first. I can finish them all in two or three minutes at most." Xiang Yinghe said. After Meng explained, Xia Yu didn't say much when he found that the two of them were still looking at him while cooking.

After all, for people who like cooking, sometimes watching the cooking process is indeed a way to enjoy food.I have also tasted the food made by Ying. The food made with that magical technique tastes quite standardized and can be said to be delicious, but it lacks several of its own characteristics.

Although the culprit of the July [-] incident has been learned from Ying, it is not the best time to think about this issue now.After all, we are still in the process of cooking. Making food while thinking about other things will only lead to flaws in the control of the heat.

"Let's talk later." After speaking to the blond girl and Paimon, Xia Yu once again returned his attention to cooking.

Pour the excess oil from the pot into the oil tank on the side. Xia Yu first poured the salted egg yolk into the hot pot. He picked up a spatula and quickly spread it. The hot iron pot immediately let the salted egg yolk stir in the sand. Small light yellow oil bubbles appear. Pour the fried prawns into the pot together with the ingredients. Mix a small amount of dried onions and fried golden garlic. After a quick stir-fry over high heat, the fragrant salted egg yolk pieces are evenly attached. on the surface of various ingredients.

On the other side, the spicy crab soup version is also thickened and hung on the crab, and the late night snack is all completed.The two steaming main dishes immediately attracted everyone's attention when they were brought to the table.The salted egg golden sand dry pot shrimp with fresh aroma and onion and garlic flavor, paired with the rich and spicy spicy crab, the dishes placed on the table immediately attracted everyone's wooden chopsticks.

"It's delicious~" Little Dulin squinted his eyes with satisfaction as he chewed the fried shrimp. The greedy little guy even swallowed the thin fried shrimp shell when he tasted the delicious taste. Entered the stomach.

On the other side, the blond girl and Paimon, who were the protagonists of this supper, were frantically drinking the prepared juice. Their rosy faces and beads of sweat on their foreheads showed the spicy smell of the crab pieces they put in the bowl. How rich it is.

"Huh~ I finally recovered." Ying put down the water glass and breathed a sigh of relief. The deliciousness of the crabs and the feeling of being so spicy that she doubted her life made Ying hesitate.

I have tried the spicy crab dish made by Xiangling. Compared with the spicy crab dish made by Xia Yu, Xiangling's dish does not have so much soup. It is a crab wrapped in sauce and red oil. Type of enclosure.That type of spicy crab is certainly very delicious, but for crabs with shells, there are always some parts in the middle that are difficult to taste.

Although crab is very delicious even without any seasoning, it always feels strange to taste the original taste in spicy crab dishes.Following the precedent that I had already tasted spicy crab, after grabbing a piece of spicy crab made by Xia Yu, I took a small sip of the flavor of the sauce, and then it was tragic...

The rich aroma and thick spicy soup immediately occupied his entire mouth. If the thrust of a spear was used to describe the spiciness of the spicy crabs made by Xiangling, Xia Yu's spicy crab dishes were enough. To describe it, the force of being hit by Ruotuo Dragon King after he ran with all his strength was used to describe it.

The spiciness is completely different!

But it tastes so fresh!Pair it with a large piece of white pancake and some vegetarian vegetables.No wonder Ningguang already wanted to hire Xia Yu when he had several top private chefs.

This cooking skill... Enjoying the delicious food, Ying suddenly became a little envious of Mona, who worked in Xia Yu's shop.

According to Mona, the salary Xia Yu offered her was not high, but the advantage was that Xia Yu took care of all the food and accommodation.In this case, wouldn't Mona be able to taste this level of delicacies every day?

On the other hand, since I was looking for clues related to my brother, especially after exploring with Dainsreb, I clearly sensed his brother's aura.Under such premise, it is impossible for me to find a regular job like Mona.

Hey...what is my brother doing?

A large table of late-night snacks was quickly eaten by everyone. After the meal, the detailed confirmation originally entrusted started in the chat among everyone holding juices.

"Ying, the person you said attacked Qiqi was the master of the Hall of Rebirth. Can Mr. Bai Shu confirm this information?" Xia Yu asked Ying and Paimeng, looking at them and nodding with certainty.

"That's of course. Mr. Bai Shu said that he went to persuade the hall master of the deceased at the beginning, but the other party did not listen to his words at that time. Instead, he retorted to him, 'The deceased It needs to be laid to rest." Yingman looked affirmative as he recalled the conversation with Baizhu.

"Yes, yes, that's what Dr. Bai Shu told us himself." Paimon on the side also joined in the conversation. "Then according to Dr. Bai Shu, the master of the Hall of Rebirth, who had been chasing Qiqi, suddenly one day seemed to have some connection and stopped chasing Qiqi to carry out her plan to bury Qiqi. I think the master of the Rebirth Hall is so strange..."

In the end, instead of being mediated by Qian Yanjun, Hu Tao herself gave up?The interesting situation piqued Xia Yu's interest.

Ying and Paimon, who have not met Hu Tao, may not think it's okay if they don't know Hu Tao's character, but Xia Yu, who knows Hu Tao and even discussed with Hu Tao her past life hall promotion methods, is very clear that he wants Hu Tao to change what she thinks. How difficult it is.

For example, Hutao is crazy about selling coffins at a discount because of his free and easy philosophy that he does not feel any bad luck in life, old age, illness and death... If Hutao's point of view has changed, then there should be many interesting things in this matter, Qi Qi can't remember clearly due to memory issues, but Hu Tao should still remember what happened.

Let's pay Walnut a visit when we go to Dadalia in a few days to pick up the repaired ruins guards.

————————————————————————

Maybe it’s because you can do calisthenics safely in the cave in the pot, or maybe it’s because the cool feeling when you hold an ice slime or stick it to a frozen tree sapling is really comfortable, and it lasts for several days. , Xia Yudu saw Qiqi in the Huzhong Cave, who came to "avoid disaster" when he had free time.

The daily meeting was not forgotten by Qiqi before they met again, which made the relationship between the little guy and Xia Yu begin to become familiar.What was somewhat beyond Xia Yu's expectation was that although Qiqi looked cute and cute, her strength was actually quite high.

"Here, here's the mint-flavored shaved ice for you." After handing over the prepared shaved ice, Xia Yu let go after confirming that the little guy's hands were steady on the shaved ice after finishing calisthenics.

"Thank you..." Although Qiqi always speaks in a plain tone because he is a zombie, but when the little guy looks at his beautiful cherry-pink eyes, he can see that in recent days, he has The hard work was not in vain.

That's right, although Qiqi can no longer taste any taste, she is still in a good condition when it comes to touch.

You must know that the types of people's taste sensations are actually very limited. Many sensations that appear to be tastes can actually be divided into other links.

For example, the spicy food that I am best at is actually the feeling caused by the combination of pain and heat.At first, I also thought about making some spicy dishes for Qi Qi to let her experience a taste-like sensation, but in the end, I gave up.

After all, Qiqi likes the feeling of coolness, and the feeling brought by spicy taste is in a sense the heat that Qiqi doesn't like.Therefore, after much deliberation, shaved ice became a good gift for Qiqi.

Just as Qi Qi was leaning on the frozen tree and tasting the shaved ice, something strange happened.

The frozen tree saplings that were originally just crystal clear suddenly bloomed with dazzling light. Qi Qi, shrouded in the light, even made it difficult for Xia Yu to see the specific position of the little guy for a while. After the light dissipated, it was shocking. A surprising situation occurred.

This...

The one-meter-tall frozen tree sapling disappeared from the spot and was replaced by two Qiqi leaning on each other back to back.Thanks to Xiao Dulin's experience, Xia Yu quickly identified what kind of situation this was.

Similar to how little Dulin imitated and transformed into Keli's appearance, the frozen tree seedlings may have transformed into Qiqi's appearance because of the same attributes.

"Huh?" Qiqi, who had not yet realized what was going on, turned to look at this little guy who looked exactly like herself. Qiqi's little head, which was not easy to turn around, completely stopped. .

Why is there another self inside this cave in the pot?Unable to figure out the situation, Qiqi simply gave up thinking, then scooped up a spoonful of shaved ice and brought it to the other party's eyes.

"Would you like some shaved ice too?" "Yeah, thank you."

The harmonious exchange between the two little guys made Xia Yu smile as he watched. However, within a few seconds, Xia Yu, who seemed to have remembered something bad, suddenly became nervous.

The main energy supply used by the refrigerator I am using now is to absorb and gather the ice element particles emitted by the frozen tree seedlings. Now, if the frozen tree seedlings can move, what improvements do I need to make to my equipment before it can be used?

She can't let the frozen tree seedlings carry the refrigerator at all times, right?

However, now is not the time to consider this issue. Since the little frozen tree has transformed, it stands to reason that she should be given a name.While thinking about how to name this little guy, Xia Yu returned to the console and prepared another shaved ice.

"Qiqi, little Frozen Tree, don't worry, there are more here." After pouring another portion of shaved ice with the slightly sweet Sunset Fruit Juice, Xia Yu came to the Frozen Tree with a small cup of shaved ice. In front of the seedlings.

"Thank you dad!"

The frozen tree sapling suddenly opened its mouth, which made Xia Yu feel uncomfortable.

How could he, a single man, become a father!Even though he planted it into the soil himself, Xia Yu felt that he couldn't bear the word "father".

"Call me brother, do you understand?"

"Good dad~"

This... the name that could not be changed for a while, and the transformation of Qiqi into a little frozen tree with a bright smile on his face, Xia Yu was so confused that he even gave up on giving this little guy a name. The back of the head.

This little guy must change his mind!

Chapter 138: Sort out the relationship, and then take her daughter to Liyue Port for shopping.

Compared with the real Qiqi, the little frozen tree Qiqi is much more lively than the real Qiqi. Perhaps he is happy that he can finally move. The face of the little guy holding Xia Yu's waist is full of happiness The expression on his face and the strange situation caused Qiqi beside him to fall into confusion.

"I...she...Xia Yu...father?" Qiqi, who was always slow to react because he was a zombie, completely stopped now, looking back and forth between Xia Yu and Wu Weiwei and his appearance changed. Looking at the frozen trees like himself, Qiqi, who was completely confused about the current situation, raised his hands and slapped his forehead.

no!

The little guy had to change her mind before she decided on her name. It was too late to worry about Qiqi, who immediately hugged her head and smashed it after falling into chaos. The first thing she needed to know now was why Qiqi transformed into a frozen tree. I will call myself daddy.

After stretching out his hands to support the little guy's armpits and picking her up, Xia Yu looked at the little guy who was shaking his hands up and down and looked extremely happy. Xia Yu asked, "Why do you call me daddy instead of brother?"

"Because it was my father who buried me in the ground and grew me up, and then brought me here. There is a special aura in the land and air here, so I can take the human form like this. So I am a relative, it is my father~" Xiao Ji said after explaining Dongshu happily stretched out his arms towards Xia Yu, as if waiting for Xia Yu to close his arms and hold her in front of him.

This... little guy's explanation made Xia Yu not know how to answer for a moment.

It's like I planted a seed in a flower pot at the request of an old friend. After it sprouted and grew, I transplanted it into a pot because I found a better living environment. I never expected this little flower. Treat yourself as the client as your biological parent.

The only way to explain it clearly at the moment was to take the little guy to see the frozen tree in the canyon, but after thinking carefully for a while, Xia Yu immediately rejected his idea.

Based on this little guy's logic, she would definitely call out "Mom" when she saw the huge frozen tree. Then wouldn't she become a person who does crazy things for fun?If this happened to be overheard by a certain god wandering around in his own country, he would really have to pack up his belongings and move out of Mondstadt overnight.

If you can't figure it out logically, you can only try to confuse your thinking.Thinking of this, Xia Yu first held the little guy in front of him, feeling the little guy hugging his neck and rubbing his soft little face affectionately, Xia Yu said: "In other words, what do you call the little frozen tree? My dad’s reason is because he considers me a relative, right?”

When talking about this, Xia Yu, who carefully observed the little guy, also discovered the subtle difference in the appearance of the little frozen tree and Qiqi: the little guy's pupils are different from Qiqi's pink like spring cherry blossoms, maybe because the main body is Jiqi. Because of the frozen trees, those bright blue pupils were as clear as the sky.

Also, Qiqi's legs were wrapped with bandages that seemed to be decorations. Wrapped around the little guy's thighs near his knees were extremely beautiful white rattans.

"Yeah!" The little guy nodded and agreed with his statement and laughed happily again.

"If it's because of this, my brother is also a relative~, and it's more appropriate for you to call me brother, little Frozen Tree."

Is my brother also a relative?After listening to Xia Yu's words, the little guy's eyes showed some doubts. After he stopped rubbing Xia Yu's cheek, the little guy looked at Xia Yu with his bright blue eyes. When he saw the emotion in Xia Yu's expression When encouraging, the little guy seemed to be trying to shout: "Xia Yu...brother?"

"Yes, so smart~" Xia Yu heard that the little Frozen Tree finally changed his name and gently rubbed the little guy's face as a reward.

Finally something has changed. As long as you give the little Frozen Tree some more reward-like feedback when she calls herself brother, it won't take long for the little guy to completely change the way she calls herself.

"Xia Yu, what are you doing?"

Just when Xia Yu was happy about this, a familiar female voice diverted Xia Yu's attention from the Little Frozen Tree to the direction of the sound. After Xia Yu woke up, he turned his head, covering his mouth with a surprised expression on Paimon and Ying's figure appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

The two people looked at themselves with confusion and surprise in their eyes. Obviously, they must have confused Qiqi with the little frozen tree, so they mistakenly thought that the person they were holding and gently rubbing their cheeks was Qiqi.

But... isn't Qiqi standing next to him?Although Qiqi is not very tall, at least it reaches her waist...?Xia Yu, who lowered his head to look, was shocked to find that Qi Qi lay flat on the grass at some point, with only doubts in her eyes looking at the sky.

"Qiqi looks the same as the little Frozen Tree. Does Qiqi need to call Xia Yu this way..." Qiqi repeated it over and over in a low voice, looking like he was in an abnormal state, and seemed to be still struggling with the Little Frozen Tree. The question of calling yourself daddy.The troublesome situation caused Xia Yu's mentality to collapse.

It's no wonder that Ying and Paimon didn't see it. Compared with Qiqi lying flat on the grass, the scene of him picking up the little frozen tree was too eye-catching.but...

Don't do this again!Are you that kind of weird person?

Fortunately, with the two substantial evidences of Qi Qi's presence and the frozen tree that disappeared from the cave in the pot, the misunderstanding that existed on him was quickly resolved.

"Huh? So just like Xiao Dulin, Xia Yu, that frozen tree you planted has now changed into the appearance of Qiqi?" In the living room of the small building where Tianying lives in Huzhongdong, the blond hair after hearing Xia Yu's explanation The girl retracted her plan to lead the Qianyan Army into the cave in her pot to arrest people.

However, this scene... Looking at Qiqi, who had transformed from a small frozen tree and was sitting on Xia Yu's lap, gently shaking her calves, with squinting eyes and a smile, she secretly glanced at the person sitting aside to look at her. Qiqi looked at the two of them, her eyes full of envy.

Why can't I encounter such good things?

————————————————————————

The time agreed with Dadalia to repair the ruins guards soon ushered in the handover day. I got on the carriage bound for Liyue and arrived at the transfer point near Shimen. Then I transferred to a boat and arrived at Liyue Port. Xia Yu, who stepped off the ship with Little Frozen Tree who was slightly seasick, did not rush to the embassy of the Solstice Kingdom immediately to find Dadalia. Instead, he took the little guy and Little Dulin who came with him on the dock. Wandered around.

In the name of broadening his horizons, he brought two little guys to Liyue Port for a stroll. Xia Yu, who was holding a little kid in one hand, immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"This is Liyue Port, the most prosperous and lively seaport trading city in the entire Teyvat continent."

Xia Yu, who explained this to the two little ones, motioned them to look at the ships coming and going on the pier.It was obvious that Little Frozen Tree, who saw this scene for the first time, and Little Dulin, who usually saw Mondstadt's laid-back and comfortable style, were both shocked.The cuteness of the two little guys looking at the passing ships with their mouths wide open attracted many friendly smiles from the dock crew.

My schedule for today has been sorted out. First, I took the two little guys to stroll around the dock to gain some experience. Then I went to the Winter Kingdom’s diplomatic port in Liyue Port to find Dadalia to complete the handover of the ruins guard. Finally, he took the two little guys for a walk around Liyue Port, went to Shengtang to inquire about the reason why Hutao attacked Qiqi before, and then slowly returned to Mondstadt on foot.

After all, now that I have plenty of time, I really don’t have to ask Tevalin to help me rush between the two places. It is a good thing to bring these little guys out to see more of the world.

"Brother Xia Yu, look, there are ruin guards here too!" The ruin guards who appeared at work on the dock made the relatively lively little Dulin shout out excitedly, and gently tugged on Xia Yu's big hand that he was holding. .

After seeing Xia Yu's eyes turned to him, Xiao Dulin pointed at the ruins with an eager expression, as if he wanted to take a close look at the ruin hunters who were guarding the three ruins in Tongjia Huzhong Cave. comparing.

"Well, let's go closer and observe, but be careful not to affect the work of the dock workers~" Xia Yudian took out his hand and gently rubbed the head of little Du Lin's head with a doting look in his eyes. After nodding, he turned his attention to Qiqi, who was holding the other hand in the form of a little frozen tree.

"Is there anything you want to see, little Freeze Tree?" Xia Yu asked the little guy and found that compared to little Dulin, who had been hanging out with Keli in Mondstadt for a long time, he had just transformed. The little frozen tree is much weaker in expressing its emotional needs for the outside world, or it may be said that it does not understand what it wants to express.

"Where should we go to see...what is it?" The little guy looked up at Xia Yu with a puzzled look in his eyes. It was obvious that the little guy still had some ideas about how to express his needs in this regard. Lack of knowledge.

"It means, little Frozen Tree, do you have somewhere you want to go, or something you want to eat, or something you want to buy." After explaining, Xia Yu looked at the little guy and nodded in understanding. .

"Then...brother Xia Yu, give me a hug~" Xiao Jishu, who let go of Xia Yu's hand, raised his head, with a sweet smile on his face, and opened his arms to Xia Yu. The guy seemed to be waiting for Xia Yu to lift her up. Little Frozen Tree's excited tone and not too quiet voice made the passersby look at her with even more envy.

This... I never expected that Little Frozen Tree would make such a request. Xia Yu, who smiled helplessly, still bent down and cooperated with Little Frozen Tree to pick her up with one arm and sit on his arm. Then he walked slowly towards the direction where little Dulin was running.However, Xia Yu was stopped by two Qianyan Army soldiers just after taking a few steps.

"Hello, this is the Qianyan Army. We received a report from someone that you abducted the herb collector from Bu Bu Lu..." Xia Yu was stunned by the Qianyan Army soldier who explained the situation to himself carefully. He was stunned, and then showed a helpless smile.

No way, who made the appearance of Little Frozen Tree and Qiqi so similar?However, it is very easy to explain this matter. First of all, the most obvious evidence is the rich expression of Little Frozen Tree and the real strength of Qiqi.

"Hello, two brothers from the Qianyan Army, this is not the herb collector Qiqi from Bubulu." After first looking at the ruins guard who had stopped to look at the logs, Xia Yu continued: " You two should also know what is going on with Qiqi, the herb picker from Bu Bu Lu."

"This is my sister." After gently touching the top of the little frozen tree, Xia Yu said to the little guy with a comfortable expression: "Come, say hello to the two uncles and ask them a question. good."

Although the age gap between the two Qianyan Army soldiers and himself was not too big, Xia Yu's little revenge still made Xia Yu choose to guide Little Frozen Tree to call them uncles.

No way, who told them to speak so loudly when they stopped him?This makes him seem like he is really a kidnapper. Can't he just keep his voice down and we can communicate normally?Besides, the appearance of Little Frozen Tree at this moment is that of a child of about ten years old, and even two male uncles in their twenties can't fault him at all.

"Uncle?" After listening to Xia Yu's words, Little Frozen Tree looked at the two Qianyan Army soldiers with some confusion. After looking back and forth between Xia Yu and the two men for several times, under Xia Yu's encouraging words Under his eyes, the little guy still showed a sweet smile to the two Qianyan Army soldiers.

"Hello, uncles~ I am Xiao Qi. Today I am visiting Liyue Port with my brother Xia Yu and Xiao Du Lin." The expressionless little Frozen Tree made the two Qianyan Army soldiers stay where they were.

"Uncle...Uncle." Inexplicably, I felt as if I had aged many years, but looking at the little guy's innocent smile, the words they wanted to say to defend seemed to be blocked in their throats. They were stunned. Can't utter a single word.

That's all...an uncle will be an uncle.It was just a title. The two Qianyan Army soldiers who comforted themselves looked at Xia Yu with extremely forced smiles.

However, who is the little Dulin mentioned by this little guy who looks very similar to Qiqi, the herb-picking boy from Bubulu?Just when the two of them were confused, the fiery red figure quickly ran to Xia Yu's side and attracted their attention.

"Brother Xia Yu, the relic guards here are not as flexible as the relic hunter at home. They seem a bit dull." After finishing his report, little Dulin, who was holding Xia Yu's clothes and summarizing, seemed to finally notice that he was with Xia Yu. Two Qianyan Army soldiers talking.

After looking back and forth between the two of them with curious eyes for a while, little Dulin showed a confused look in his eyes.

"Brother Xia Yu, who are these two uncles?"

Chapter 139 Uncle’s power is expanding.
