The cultivation record of the original demon in Teyvat continent

"Xia Yu, the blond woman just now obviously changed her mind when she heard you talking about food. Why wasn't she included in the punishment?"

Wuxiangzhilei's serious tone when he asked Xia Yu was filled with doubts. It was obvious that Wuxiangzhilei was confused by Xia Yu's series of actions and let the person concerned go.

"Of course I know, but the other party's reaction to this matter is very interesting, isn't it?" Wuxiang Zhilei's serious question made Xia Yu couldn't help but smile while explaining. "I naturally know what kind of characters Ying and Paimon are. This matter is more interesting because of the changes in everyone's expressions during the conversation just now."

Xia Yu couldn't help laughing as he explained to Wuxiang Zhilei.

That's right, even Wuxiang Lei could tell that Ying was acting, so how could he not understand?But as far as the result is concerned, Ying did not personally say the words to accuse him like Paimon did. Therefore, Ying's series of far-fetched acting skills that forced him to change his words in the end were very interesting in his eyes.

Now that she has come forward about the occupation of Qingcezhuang's warehouse, and she has Gan Yu with her, this trivial matter is not a problem at all for them.All he needs to do is continue searching for grass slimes.Looking along the location of the waterfall, several figures appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

This group of young men in various attires do not look like people from Qingce Village in terms of age or behavior. After all, I have learned that there are basically no young adults in Qingce Village.What's more important is what several people said during the discussion while sitting in front of the campfire. The content of the words confirmed Xia Yu's thoughts.

"Boss, we have been working here for several days, but the iron fence in the cave under the waterfall...can't be blown open without gunpowder, right?"

"That's it, is it true that there is a treasure here in the news? I think it's better to join those and the excavation team..."

"What are you talking about? Haven't you seen those yellow jade crystals in the cave?" The conversation between the two young men made one of the strong men look quite unhappy. "If we can get that, will we still be short of money?"

"But aren't those things everywhere on the way to Qingce Village..." The young man who was about to retort stopped after seeing the fierce look in the strong man's eyes.Even though his face was covered with a mask, his dissatisfied expression could be felt just from his eyes that already had a glaring expression.

They were members of the treasure-stealing group. After identifying the identities of these people, Xia Yu realized that the villains mentioned by the children in Qingcezhuang Village should be them.The situation of the treasure stealing group is the most special among all organizations, and its member composition can be said to be quite complicated.

Some people are really forced to join the treasure thief group because they can't find a way to survive and have no food to eat. Some people choose to join because they are purely speculative and want to make a big fortune with their small fortune. There are also people who travel everywhere in order to become the legendary treasure thief. A member of the treasure thief group who strives for the alternative dream of relics.

From the most vulgar and hateful types to those who strive for their ideals, the composition of the treasure thief group is the most complex one I have seen since coming to Teyvat.The group of people in front of me should be the ones who want to make a fortune but don't want to work hard.

But judging from their conversation, their plan seemed to be hindered by the iron gate of the ruins itself.It seems that because they were originally from Liyue, these people were particularly concerned about the various legends and stories of Liyue's past, so they did not do anything like using explosives for targeted blasting.

They are just a group of stupid thieves... Just when Xia Yu was about to ignore these people and start searching for traces of Rei Slime, the words of the strong man who led them caught Xia Yu's attention.

"Brothers, think about it, we are definitely not the only ones who know about the underground seal of Qingce Village in Liyue. Besides, the fruits, vegetables and wild animals around Qingce Village are enough for our daily consumption. We only use it here. Wait slowly for a while, and there will always be people who like adventure who will come to solve the mysteries of these ruins. Then we only need to wait for them to solve the puzzle and then reap the benefits, won't we get the money?"

"But..."

"What's the point? The Lantern Festival is coming soon. If you can't find any chance to make a fortune, will you have a happy New Year this year?"

The strong man instigating several other people made Xia Yu's eyes sharper.

If they just simply look for ruins and decipher them, these people are actually not that different from those who explore the ruins in the Adventurers Association. Anyway, in the end, the treasures found during exploration will be purchased by people who like to collect them and put them in their own exhibits.

But now this strong man is clearly instigating the people who came with him to do evil. In other words, this man is also a bad person among the treasure thieves.

The people living in Qingce Village are basically old people and children. If such people don't wait for someone willing to solve the mystery of this ruins before the Hai Lantern Festival comes, maybe he will do something to the simple people in Qingce Village.Evil people need to be punished by evil people. It is better for such people to be arrested by Qianyan Army and undergo labor reform.

Gan Yu and Ying happened to go to investigate the warehouse, so I should go back and inform them first.

1Seventy Zhang Treasure Stealing Group: Fortunately, I was smart and tied myself up in advance...

Just as Xia Yu was about to go back to find Ying and Gan Yu to solve the problem here, the members of the treasure thief group who turned to look at their location seemed to have discovered themselves hiding in the bushes.

"Who is there! Come out, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!" The strong man who seemed to be the leader put down his harsh words and put his hand on his side, and then took out a workmanship skillfully. He held the iron hammer in his hand.

This... Looking at the members of the treasure thief group who had taken out their weapons, Xia Yu, who had originally planned to run away, fell silent.

Hammers, wooden paddles, shovels, and even some with bare hands in a posture... The combination of weapons, like a construction site fight, made Xia Yu feel at ease.

Except for the shovel, which can be regarded as a sharp weapon, the rest can be classified as blunt weapons.Judging from the current situation, possessing the phaseless thunder, I really don't have to be afraid of these members of the treasure stealing group.

It was time to try out how to match it with the Phaseless Thunder. Having made up his mind, Xia Yu stood up directly from the bushes.

"So tall..." Perhaps because he saw the difference in physique, the somewhat fat member of the treasure thief group holding the shovel immediately retreated in his heart. He took two steps back with a look of fear in his eyes. Then he was immediately stopped by the leading strong man holding a hammer.

"What's the use of being taller and stronger? Isn't there only one person? How can he beat the four of us!" The leader who looked at Xia Yu looked at the phaseless thunder on Xia Yu's neck with a greedy look in his eyes. .

"And look at the necklace around his neck. It's a thunder element ore necklace with this texture and purity. Brothers, after doing this, we will be able to enjoy spicy food during the Hai Lantern Festival this year! Come on! "

The contrast between the strong man rushing towards him with greed in his eyes and the three people behind him who were still cowering in place made Xia Yu make his own guess. Sure enough, among the four members of the treasure stealing group, the leader This person is completely hopeless. As for the remaining three, they can be interrogated after the leader is dealt with.

And now it seems that he doesn't need to worry too much at all. The phaseless thunder that the leading villain said was the thunder element ore has completely exploded.Judging from the fire she conveyed, the phaseless thunder might have even cut this strong man's heart.

"Take a breath. Next, the Layer Rock Abyss will need a group of free workers to help restore the ecological environment there." After reminding Wuxiang Lei, an obvious snort came into Xia Yu's mind.

"Then Xia Yu, just raise your right hand and make a slapping motion. I will control the force." Listening to the somewhat gloomy words of Wuxiangzhilei, I was a little curious about what Wuxiangzhilei would do. Xia Yu raised his hand according to what the other party said.

This is the first time he has cooperated with Wuxiang Lei. During the conversation just now, the strong man holding a hammer came within two meters of him. "Haha, are you scared? Pass out and call out all the valuables on you!" The strong man who raised the hammer high howled loudly with a fierce look in his eyes.

Is it enough to just wave and slap him?Just as the strong man took another step forward, Xia Yu, who waved his palm according to Wuxiang Lei's instructions, was surprised to find that his palm was surrounded by the same force as when he saw Wuxiang Lei for the first time. It is wrapped by the cube next to it.

The three-meter-high huge palm with purple electric light was swung effortlessly. In the surprised and frightened eyes of the strong man, the huge palm actually collided with the strong man.As light as a fly was blown away, the strong man's whole body twitched like a rolling bowling ball and hit the tree trunk on the side. Then he rolled his eyes and fell into coma.

"Hey!" The leader, who was eliminated in the blink of an eye, made the remaining three members of the treasure thief group retreat several steps back. The three of them looked at Xia Yu with expressions full of fear.

what is this!If the normally ferocious leader was killed using conventional fighting techniques, the attack methods that were within the scope of understanding would only make people panic at best.But what is this?A huge slap that is twice as tall as a human being, and it is obvious that the other party has stopped his hand, otherwise if he slapped it directly from top to bottom, the leader would have turned into a puddle of meat!

However, being able to hold back means that the other party is not completely unreasonable. If you can explain it rationally, you can avoid some physical pain like the leader.The pressure of survival forced the three people to immediately think of the best solution.

"Hero, spare your life!" After making a decisive decision and throwing down the 'weapons' in their hands, the three people who knelt down and kowtowed violently.

"We also joined the treasure-stealing group because we suffered so many disasters this year and had no choice but to lose our jobs."

"Although the waves caused by the demon god that was released this year did not cause damage to the buildings in Liyue Port, they swept away all the wood we put on the dock to build the ships. The New Year is about to start again. It was really too late to find a job and get a salary to celebrate the New Year, so we obsessed over the evil and joined the treasure stealing group to make a quick buck."

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at the shovel I brought. Originally, we planned to use the treasure thief group's information to dig out some valuable things and take them back to sell. But we happened to hit the ruins door here and it was shut tightly. The surrounding land is still too fertile to be dug. Hero, please hand us over to the Qianyan Army to deal with it."

The expressions on the three people's faces, who were talking as if they could not even afford food, made Xia Yu speechless. However, they did not make any mistakes in what they said. There is really no problem in leaving these people to Qianyanjun. .When Xia Yu came back to his senses, he was surprised to find that the three of them had found hemp rope from nowhere and had already tied the two of them up.

The hemp rope that tied the wrists firmly behind the back had layers of deadlocks that could not be easily untied, so when it came time to tie up the last person, the two of them had their hands tied behind them and couldn't use them. He gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength before tying the hemp rope.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yu was a little confused by the confusing behavior of the three members of the treasure stealing group. "Just come with me. I'll hand you over to the guard post of Qianyan Army later and that's it. Why are you tied up?"

"Ah... doesn't this make you rest assured, hero, that we won't escape halfway? It's better to tie up your body's balance and not let go of your arms and legs..."

The trio of treasure thieves who seemed impatient to wait for Xia Yu to hand them over to Qianyan Army made Xia Yu slap him on the forehead. Xia Yu, who no longer knew how to describe these three people, shouted: " Untie them all for me! If you don't untie them, do you still want me to carry the fainted person?"

"Here... please help us, good man, to untie it. We've tied it up so tightly that we can't untie it..."

————————————————————————

Near the waterfall, he once again found four grass slimes that were willing to follow. Among the dull eyes of the three members of the treasure stealing group, Xia Yu showed a satisfied look after counting the number of the little ones.

The seven grass slimes should be able to meet the needs of the Walnut Cemetery area. After all, the cemetery also needs to clear roads for everyone to walk, and the areas around the tombstones must be kept clean and tidy. Weeds or unknown places are absolutely not allowed in these places. plant growth.

Furthermore, after all, it is an area where ordinary people move. Although grass slimes are very timid and like to hide and have strong curiosity, the concept that monsters are equal to existing dangers is not a concept for ordinary people. There are rules that must be followed to survive. Too many grass slimes may scare ordinary people who come to worship.

The next step is to escort the members of the treasure stealing group to the guard post of Qianyan Army. Then he can find a big tree to climb up, hang a hemp rope and return to Chensong Pot.When he led four members of the treasure stealing group past the occupied warehouse mentioned by Yinghe Paimeng, Xia Yu took a careful look and wanted to know what happened here. He discovered that Yinghe Paimeng and Gan Yu happened to be here too. .

The silent blonde girl had a look of fear on her face, while Paimon on the side was already lying on the ground like the members of the treasure thief group he had captured.

Paimon, who had a regretful expression, had tears running down his cheeks and into the gaps in the wooden floor of the warehouse. "Qiuqiu people...why Qiuqiu people...the delicious food has disappeared these days..." The little guy's feeble tone sounded extremely regretful.

So that's it. When Xia Yu heard this, he immediately understood what happened in this warehouse.The people who occupied the warehouse were Qiuqiu people who came from nowhere, not the members of the Fools they originally expected.Therefore, if the agreement is followed, Paimon will not be able to get food from him in the next few days.

Gan Yu, who noticed the sound behind him, turned his head. When he saw Xia Yu's figure, Gan Yu, whose face was slightly red, looked away embarrassedly. "Um..." Just as the hesitant Gan Yu was about to say something, the subtle combination of three members of the treasure thief group and a 'mummy' who was wrapped with hemp rope leaving only its nostrils and mouth breathing out caused a stir. Gan Yu's attention.

"Xia Yu...is this?"

"Oh, you are talking about this. The member of the treasure thief group who was caught at the waterfall and was planning to do evil. The one who was tied up and couldn't look like a human being has been confirmed to be a very vicious guy. As for the other three, we have to Please investigate clearly. According to them, they seem to be workers who suffered losses in the last Auxerre incident." Xia Yu felt extremely relaxed after completing the explanation to Gan Yu.

Since Gan Yu is still here, as long as these members of the treasure stealing group are handed over to Gan Yu, the matter will be considered complete.With Gan Yu's rich work experience gained from assisting Zhongli and Liyue Qixing for so many years, it should be a piece of cake to find out whether what these people said is true or false.

Just when Xia Yu was about to speak, the sudden increase in weight on his arm made Xia Yu turn his head.Then, a tearful Paimon appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision, holding his arms with his hands and feet.

"Xia Yu, I was wrong! I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions!" The excited little guy looked very sad just by looking at him with runny nose and tears. "So, can the punishment be changed? If I can't eat Xia Yu's delicious food for several days, I will die..."

This... I didn't expect Paimon to have such a big reaction. Xia Yu, who ignored the howling little guy for the time being, secretly glanced at the blond girl watching this scene with amusement. It was obvious that , Ying seemed to be feeling lucky that she didn't speak directly.

Of course, the punishment must be carried out, and the food issue must also be carried out as it is. After all, these are things that have been agreed upon long ago. If you make temporary changes, your dignity will be damaged to some extent.

But Paimon, who had been wronged to the point of crying, really needed some punishment... Xia Yu's eyes suddenly lit up when he thought about this.

Why not try shortening Paimon's execution time, then there should be no problem!

Chapter 171 Paimon: Are you planning to starve me to death? Ying!

Ah...I'm so greedy, I really want to eat it!Paimon, who was sitting on the bench, stared at the blond girl who was feasting, with a look of despair in his eyes.

The roasted suckling pig ordered yesterday was marinated by Xia Yu in the refrigerator for a whole day in order to achieve the best cooking effect. After ensuring that the taste was fully absorbed, the outer skin was golden and crispy with small bubbles, and the inner meaty skin was slightly burnt. The brown texture and perfect appearance allowed the two of them to feel how delicious the roasted suckling pig roasted using the ancient charcoal fire method would be.

Especially after the incision...

The overflowing meat juices exploded together with the heat and the smell of spices. Just smelling this smell made people swallow their saliva unconsciously. On the spot, they couldn't help but grab a piece of elbow meat with both meat and puff pastry. The expression on the face that he put in his mouth instantly solidified into a look of happiness.

It is so delicious!

The crispiness of the meat skin when biting open can even be heard as a crackling sound when chewing biscuits. The fat layer between the pork and the meat skin is filled with the aroma of spices and a slight spiciness. , coupled with the fact that it is fully grilled and it is pork knuckle, the oily feeling that fills the entire mouth makes people not feel tired at all.

Especially when biting into the lean meat part below, the fishy smell of the original wild boar piglet itself is completely eliminated, and the meaty aroma is not masked by the light spice flavor at all. On the contrary, it feels like they complement each other.The bursting gravy makes people fully appreciate the tenderness of the meat itself.

Ah... unknowingly, she had eaten a whole pork knuckle. When Ying came back to her senses, she looked at the roast suckling pig that had lost a large piece in surprise. Just as the blond girl was about to indulge in this ultimate delicacy again During the experience, Paimon on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ying! Is this roasted suckling pig the dish we ordered yesterday!?" In order to taste this roasted suckling pig, just by smelling it, you will know that you will regret missing it for several months, so Paimon tried his best to start. He found every possible way, and time was the best weapon Paimon found.

"I probably wasn't punished yesterday, so I can eat this roasted suckling pig, right?" The little guy's eager look made Ying snicker.

Indeed, this roasted suckling pig was made by Xia Yu as a reward for Paimeng. If Paimeng had used this to refute him at the beginning, then he would have nothing to say.However, now I can hear a hint of guilt in Paimon's tone, which means that Paimon herself is still a little guilty.

This roasted suckling pig, which is just over ten kilograms, still weighs seven or eight kilograms even after it is finished. Even if the bones are thrown away, less than half, the remaining four or five kilograms cannot be eaten by one person. This kind of food is best at the first meal. After the skin softens and the juices in the pork dry up, the taste of the roasted suckling pig will be greatly reduced.

In the end, Paimon will definitely join the tasting team, but the little guy's current expression is really interesting!After taking out her camera and taking two or three photos of Paimon, the blond girl wanted to see how Paimon would react and decided to tease the little white-haired guy who usually accompanied her.

"But this roasted suckling pig was not made yesterday, but was made today~" The blond girl, who was trying not to smile evilly, carefully observed Paimon's expression after finishing speaking.

"Eh...this..." Feeling that he was running out of words, Paimon opened his mouth wide. The little guy who couldn't say a word for a long time was completely petrified. After sighing for a long time, he turned his head to the side. Paimon looked aside with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Of course, it's okay to let Paimon eat a piece to taste it." Ying, who threw out a fish bait again, looked at Paimon and his eyes suddenly regained their luster, staring at the fish he picked up. Paimon the moving piece of meat,

However, the little guy did not rush forward in a hurry. Instead, after thinking extremely hard for a while and swallowing countless times, Paimon still shook his head and rejected this tempting option.

"If you want one piece... forget it." Although it was very difficult to refuse, the little guy still endured it with amazing willpower. Just when Ying was about to praise Paimon's perseverance and let her join in this carnivorous feast In the midst of this, the little guy who had turned his head away spoke again.

"If it's just one piece, it will only make people more greedy, but it will make it more difficult to endure..." Paimon, who simply buried his head and pretended not to look at the ostrich, looked so helpless that Yingying Finally I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He cut off a whole piece of ribs with the skin and placed it in front of Paimon. Looking at the little guy's expression that he hadn't realized what was going on, Ying smiled and said, "Eat it, today This roasted suckling pig is indeed a special case, but starting from tomorrow, there will be no delicious food made by Xia Yu."

"After all, if we offend him on this point, if he loses his temper and temporarily blacklists both of us for a few days, it will be a big problem. Do you understand?" Yingying finished the explanation. Paimon laughed again as he couldn't help nodding, and then raised his head to look at the beautiful scenery in the cave in the pot.

Yes, you have to get busy tomorrow.According to Ningguang, Captain Beidou will return to Liyue tomorrow. It must be quite troublesome to mention going to Daozhi at this time, even if his behavior is regarded as a hero in the eyes of the people of Liyue , but this does not become the decisive reason to ask her to take him and Xia Yu to Daozhu.

This was a captain who was judged by Ning Guang to be unable to be restrained by the rules. It was said that the fine she paid for violating various regulations in Liyue Port was enough to buy a brand new ocean-going ship.Moreover, the captain's temperament could be said to be quite straightforward at best, but as stubborn as a donkey at worst.

It looks like tomorrow will be another difficult literary battle...

————————————————————————

"Thank you Xia Yu, these grass slimes are enough~" Hutao looked very happy after receiving the grass slimes from Xia Yu.

After arranging these little guys in suitable places in the cemetery, Hutao first took out a bag full of mola from his pocket and handed it to Xia Yu's hand.Then he continued: "As an additional thank you, although I don't know Beidou, there is someone I know who can definitely be regarded as Beidou's friend. With her help, Beidou can agree to take you to Inazuma." It should be improved by several percent.”

Are you an acquaintance of Captain Beidou?Considering that it would be much easier to talk if an acquaintance helped introduce him, Xia Yu nodded without hesitation. "Then I'll bother Hutao." Xia Yu readily agreed and asked Hutao to

"Okay, then let's go back to Liyue and let's walk~!"

Following the avenue all the way back to Liyue, Hutao, who did not go to the business district, instead pulled Xia Yu and walked towards the commercial street of Huyan. After a while of jogging, familiar shops appeared in Xia Yu's field of vision.

"Here we are, right here." Xia Yu was stunned when he stopped and pointed at Hutao, the signboard on the shop floor.

Wanmintang, isn't this the shop of Master Mao and his daughter Xiangling?Xia Yu's surprised expression made Hu Tao, who was following him, also see some clues. "Xia Yu, do you think you know Xiang Ling? Tell me how you met?" Hu Tao asked Xia Yu with a bit of gossip in her eyes.

"Indeed, we know each other. I met Xiang Ling in Mondstadt before who was practicing cooking. Because I am also a chef. When two chefs meet and have the right cooking conditions, they must communicate, so That’s when I became friends with Xiang Ling.”

When explaining this, Xia Yu found that the girl's expression became much more relaxed. "In this case, since Xia Yu knows Xiang Ling, I'll leave first~" Hutao waved to Xia Yu quickly after finishing speaking to Xia Yu, and then left very quickly.

This... As expected, I still do whatever comes to my mind just like before.After waving goodbye to Hu Tao, Xia Yu watched the girl run along the bridge towards the outside of Liyue Port again. Judging from Hu Tao's movement route, the girl was most likely going to observe the status of the newly arrived slimes today.

Since Xiang Ling knows Beidou, it's easy to tell. With Xiang Ling's character, Xiang Ling is quite easy to talk to as long as it doesn't involve cooking. He only needs to ask her to help introduce him...

After entering Wanmintang, it seems that because it is not meal time, Wanmintang is not busy at all at this moment. Master Mao, who is checking the ingredients, looks particularly serious, while Xiangling on the side is in front of the stove. He was tinkering with something, and it seemed like he was developing new dishes.

As for the fat Guoba, the little guy was circling Xiangling and the stove with his round eyes, as if he was looking forward to the completion of Xiangling's cooking.The fresh aroma of seafood and the spiciness of Jueyun pepper came from the iron pot that Xiang Ling was operating. The excellent smell made Xia Yu couldn't help but nod.

"Huh? Isn't this Xia Yu? Come and sit down, sit down!" Master Mao, who noticed Xia Yu's figure, seemed particularly enthusiastic. The old chef who put down the ingredients in his hands came to Xia Yu's side and poured a cup of tea, and then asked: " Did you come to Wanmintang today to have something to eat?"

"Actually, I have something I want to ask Xiang Ling for help." After telling Master Mao about his plan to go to Inazuma and about his upcoming meeting with Beidou to discuss the matter, Xia Yu looked at Master Mao who had a look of sudden realization, and then Somewhat curious, he asked: "Master Mao, what kind of person do you think Captain Beidou is?"

That's right, since Xiang Ling worked as a cook on Beidou's ship, how could Master Mao, his father, not know about it?Xiang Ling, who was concentrating on cooking, couldn't find time to answer her own questions for the time being. Now she could ask Master Kanmao first to see what his views were on Beidou.

"You're talking about the Beidou of the Southern Cross. That's a celebrity whose reputation is second only to the Seven Stars of Liyue." When he mentioned Beidou, Master Mao's face was full of admiration. "The captain of the Southern Cross has a very forthright personality. She never thinks about the troublesome things that are roundabout. She is also very loyal, so the crew of the Southern Cross particularly admire her."

she! ?It was somewhat beyond Xia Yu's expectation. When he heard Master Mao's description of Beidou, the various descriptions of Beidou's character made Xia Yu's mind appear in the image of a big man full of muscles and laughing loudly. Unexpectedly, This is actually a female captain.

This is even more admirable. After listening to Master Mao's explanation, Xia Yu nodded blankly. At this moment, Xiang Ling, who was carrying the prepared food, came to this table and took the rice dumplings with him and sat down at this table.

"Xia Yu, are you planning to go to Dao Wife next? It is true that only Sister Beidou in Liyue can help you." Because she heard the conversation between Xia Yu and her father just now, Xiang Ling looked a little a little bit. excited.
