Chapter 278

Huh?

You tell me.

You dismantled dozens of Ruin Graders.

And you only came up with three pots????

What would those Khaenri’ah researchers think if they saw this?

Huh?

Khaenri’ah researchers: Please turn on your microphone to communicate.

Jiang Yan looked at Cloud Retainer as if she were an idiot.

“Hey, hey, hey, what kind of look is that?”

Cloud Retainer became dissatisfied when she saw Jiang Yan’s look.

“This is a semi-automatic cooking tool! A must-have artifact for lazy people!”

“Isn't it high-end?!”

Cloud Retainer said, putting her hands on her hips again.

Looking like she was very proud of herself.

Jiang Yan: ...

“You dismantled so many Ruin Graders, you could have at least upgraded the Guizhong Ballista or the Guizhong Energy Cannon or something.”

“What’s the use of making these three pots??”

Hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Cloud Retainer became anxious.

“How is it useless! This is a benefit for foodies!”

Jiang Yan frowned and touched the three pots floating in front of him.

“How do you play with this thing?”

“Demonstrate it.”

Cloud Retainer became excited upon hearing this.

“I’ll demonstrate it for you!”

After speaking, Cloud Retainer threw all kinds of materials into the pot, then started the fire and covered the lid in one go.

Immediately after, the pot turned red at an abnormal speed in front of Jiang Yan and Cloud Retainer.

“Hey, hey, hey, are you serious about the speed at which this pot is turning red?”

Jiang Yan realized something was wrong and turned to ask.

“Sh... should be?”

“What do you mean ‘should be’, hey!”

Observation Haki and cosmic perception warned Jiang Yan almost simultaneously; Jiang Yan reached out, wrapped his arms around Cloud Retainer, and pressed her down.

After the pot trembled violently a few times, it exploded instantly.

An invisible ripple spread from Jiang Yan’s body; the soup in the pot splashed everywhere, but when it flew to Jiang Yan’s front, it seemed to hit an air wall, not hurting Jiang Yan in the slightest.

Cloud Retainer, who was pressed under Jiang Yan, naturally had nothing wrong.

Cloud Retainer looked at Jiang Yan who was pressing on her, her eyes dodging, her cheeks slightly red.

Damn! Caused trouble again...

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes at the silly bird in front of him.

“So, this is your so-called ‘must-have for lazy people’?”

“I think it’s a ‘must-have for murder’!”

Cloud Retainer coughed lightly, her eyes dodging.

“Well, I can explain.”

“Forget it, don’t take out semi-finished products in the future.”

Jiang Yan immediately stopped Cloud Retainer from speaking.

Cloud Retainer nodded frantically upon hearing this.

Jiang Yan let her go; Cloud Retainer stood up, her cheeks slightly red.

Quite embarrassed.

“It didn't explode when I used it last time.”

Enough, Jiang Yan was too lazy to roll his eyes again.

In the past, when Guizhong wasn't busy, she could keep an eye on Cloud Retainer.

Now Guizhong stayed at Yuehai Pavilion all the time and rarely had time to accompany Cloud Retainer in these researches.

So Cloud Retainer had no restrictions and started researching wildly.

This led to the machines Cloud Retainer made always ending in explosions.

Regarding this, Jiang Yan also expressed great helplessness.

“Alright, I came this time just to tell you about the Lantern Rite.”

“On the day of the Lantern Rite, we will gather in Qingce Village as before.”

Jiang Yan said while walking, while Cloud Retainer didn't speak, honestly following behind Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan talked for a long time and found that there was no echo behind him, so he turned his head to look.

He saw Cloud Retainer with her head down, somewhat distracted, seemingly thinking about something.

Why did it explode again?

Where exactly did it go wrong??

Jiang Yan stopped his steps as he looked at Cloud Retainer, who was not in the state, his eyes filled with some helplessness.

This guy...

Then, Jiang Yan raised his hand and knocked on Cloud Retainer’s head.

Thump!

“Ouch!!”

With a crisp sound and a delicate cry.

Cloud Retainer covered her forehead, instantly returning to her senses, looking at Jiang Yan with confusion.

“What are you doing?”

“I said, I’m leaving.”

Jiang Yan said helplessly as he looked at the woman in front of him.

“Ah? Aren’t you staying here a while longer?”

A look of disappointment instantly appeared in Cloud Retainer’s eyes.

“No, there are still many adepti abodes I haven't been to, I’m in a hurry.”

Jiang Yan said softly.

“I see... then go ahead.”

Cloud Retainer nodded, not saying anything else.

“Mm, see you on the day of the Lantern Rite.”

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

“Okay.”

Cloud Retainer agreed.

Then, Jiang Yan opened a portal and walked straight in.

With the closing of the portal, the entire Mt. Aocang abode became quiet again.

“Hmm... this guy, he’s always in such a hurry whenever he comes.”

Cloud Retainer muttered, then returned to the pile of parts and continued her research.

Back to Jiang Yan’s side.

After leaving the Mt. Aocang abode, Jiang Yan’s portal opened directly at the entrance of Sea Gazer’s abode.

“Hmm... I don’t know if Sea Gazer is home.”

Jiang Yan muttered, then reached out and knocked on the door of the abode.

“Sea Gazer! Sea Gazer!!”

“Are you in!”

“If you are, make a sound, okay~”

Jiang Yan’s voice was very loud, fearing that the guy inside was sleeping.

Knocking on the door with a clatter.

“Stop, stop, stop!!”

“Coming, coming, coming!!”

The person inside seemed to be annoyed by the knocking and spoke loudly.

“Damn! Why are you shouting so loudly?!”

Jiang Yan widened his eyes and shouted super loudly again.

“Shut up!”

Only an angry voice was heard from the door, and then, a bird’s figure appeared from the door.

“What do you want with me?”

Looking at the visitor, Sea Gazer’s tone was clearly not good.

Jiang Yan chuckled and explained his intention to the other party.

There was no way; facing this great hero of Liyue, Jiang Yan couldn't have any temper toward the other party.

1.7

After all, the reason why Liyue’s air force could be established was all based on this Sea Gazer in front of him.

“So that’s how it is.”

Sea Gazer nodded and said to Jiang Yan:

“I understand.”

Sea Gazer nodded, then pointed to the abode behind him.

“Not coming in to sit for a while?”

“No, no, I’m in a hurry to go to the next one.”

Jiang Yan said with a smile, then bid farewell to Sea Gazer.

Then, for the entire day, Jiang Yan kept wandering back and forth in the abodes of the major adepti.

When Jiang Yan returned home, it was already evening.

At this time, Ganyu, Greater Lord Rukkhadevata, Raiden Makoto, and the others were already sitting at home.

“Back?”

Seeing Jiang Yan return home, Ganyu said with a smile.

“Mm, so tired!”

Jiang Yan stretched, looking very exhausted.

“What did Dad do today?”

Jiang Xinyu asked with confusion when she saw Jiang Yan’s appearance.

“Today, Dad went to visit your uncles and aunts.”

Jiang Yan said softly.

Although Jiang Xinyu was a bit confused, Raiden Makoto, Ganyu, and the others all knew what Jiang Yan was talking about.

“Did you notify everyone?”

Ganyu asked.

Jiang Yan nodded, then lay on the sofa, burying his head in Greater Lord Rukkhadevata’s white hair, sniffing the faint fragrance.

It seemed as if this could relieve his fatigue.

“Annoying! There are children here!”

Greater Lord Rukkhadevata said with a slightly red face.
