Wendy shook her head.
Until he took a bite himself: "!? Leave me a bite too!"
Xia Zhi picked up his glass of wine and drank it slowly.
The wine tastes wonderful; every sip is a completely different flavor, and the ecstatic pleasure makes you feel like every sip is the pinnacle of life.
Xia Zhi put down his cup and asked, "What time did the Dragon King and the two True Lords arrive last night?"
Taking a moment from his busy schedule, True Lord Lishui replied, "It was around three o'clock."
Xia Zhi apologized, "I'm sorry to have kept you three waiting."
The Dragon King laughed and said, "We didn't have to wait long. After we arrived, we went to explore Mondstadt for a while, and it was quite fun."
Xia Zhi asked curiously, "Where did you all visit?"
The Dragon King said, "I went to various taverns to drink and chat with the patrons, and then I ran into Wendy in one of them. This guy, even though he's the owner, made me pay his bill and buy him drinks."
Xia Zhi chuckled: "Don't mention it. The first time I met him, I also treated him to drinks and paid his bill."
Wendy quickly changed the subject: "My dear friend, this dish you made is really delicious!"
The Dragon King asked in surprise, "Mr. Xia has been in Mondstadt for so many days, and you still haven't tasted his cooking."
Wendy looked at Xia Zhi and said, "He eats at restaurants every day, how am I supposed to get a free meal?"
The Dragon King shook his head: "If there are no conditions, then create them. If I were you, I wouldn't know this..."
Xia Zhi interrupted him, saying, "The food doesn't matter. Once my cousin's matter is over, I'll cook a nice meal for everyone to celebrate."
The Dragon King immediately asked, "Do you have the [Divine Jump Over the Wall] skill?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "There definitely is."
The Dragon King felt reassured and patted his chest, guaranteeing, "Don't worry, Mr. Xia, the tower stands as long as you are here."
Wendy asked in a low voice, "What is 'God Jump Over the Wall'?"
The Dragon King whispered to him, "It's a dish."
"I remember it was called 'Immortal Jumps Over the Wall'?"
"That was the original version; Mr. Xia made some improvements."
"It's delicious?"
"delicious!"
"Describe it in more detail."
"It tastes even better than this wine."
"!?"
Wendy looked incredulous.

Liu Yun Zhenjun sat on the bed, still looking somewhat dazed.
She was still thinking about that dream.
It must be fake, right?
but……
Just then, someone knocked on the door: "Liu Yun, are you up yet?"
It is the sound of Xia Ci.
Liu Yun hurriedly went to open the door: "Coming!"
Xia Ci opened the door and walked in, immediately noticing the Gatling gun mechanism on the ground.
"It's already done."
"Yes."
"Is this where the ammunition is loaded?"
"Yes."
Xia Ci nodded, took out three chips of different colors, and inserted them into the chip.
"That completes the loading. Since there's going to be a big event today, Klee can have some fun with it."
"Is this not a good idea?"
"Don't worry, it's okay."
"..."
Xia Ci was about to go out when her eyes suddenly caught sight of the sachet Liu Yun was wearing around her neck.
"Liu Yun, did you wear it to bed last night?"
"what?"
A flicker of panic crossed Liu Yun's face, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Yes."
"Whose hair is in there?"
"No hair was used; it was just a simple test."
"Oh."
Xia Ci gave her a meaningful look.
“I have some understanding of the power of dreams. If you encounter any problems during your research, you can come and ask me for advice.”
"Ok!"
Xia Ci chuckled softly, then turned and left.
Liu Yun felt immense pressure being with this goddess of wisdom, as if nothing could escape her eyes.
She touched the sachet tied around her neck, a hint of doubt appearing on her face.
"Is this thing really reliable?"
--
After everyone has gathered.
Xia Zhi told everyone about the arrival of the Dragon King and the two True Lords.
Everyone was somewhat surprised: "They really came?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "They've really come. They'll drink in the square outside."
Charlotte asked in confusion, "Didn't Uncle Long say he was going to work at the school? Why is he suddenly back in Mondstadt?"
Xia Zhi shook his head: "I don't know either. You can ask them later. Let's go."
Everyone arrived at the square.
Upon spotting Diona in the distance, Wendy quickly said goodbye and left.
He didn't want to keep sneezing.
Charlotte greeted them warmly, "Uncle Long, you two True Lords, what brings you here?"
The Dragon King laughed and said, "We've come here to participate in a mahjong competition."
"A mahjong competition?"
"Well, I missed the last Liyue tournament, and I heard that Mondstadt is also holding a mahjong tournament, so I thought I'd come and join in the fun."
"Then you're a day late. The preliminary round was yesterday."
"It's a bit of a pity. But it's okay, we can still look around from the outside."
"You can participate in other competitions, such as fishing competitions, archery competitions, and so on."
"Yes."
Xia Zhi asked, "We're going to have breakfast. Would the three of you like to come along?"
The Dragon King waved his hand and said, "We've already eaten, so we won't go."
He suddenly noticed Xia Lin hiding behind Xia Zhi and laughed, "This little one is so shy."
Charlene looked timid and hesitant to look at him.
Xia Zhi patted Xia Lin's head and said with a smile, "She is my new apprentice, named Xia Lin. She is a little shy."
The Dragon King laughed and said, "Being shy is nothing to worry about. Just go out and interact with people more often."
Xia Zhi seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Dragon King, there is indeed a competition that is very suitable for you to participate in today."
The Dragon King asked, "What competition?"
Xia Zhi said, "The eating contest starts this afternoon, and you should still be able to register this morning."
The Dragon King had a huge appetite, a fact that left a deep impression on Xia Zhi and the others.
