Chapter 338
First, I’ll finish watching the fun I’ve stirred up!
Things regarding the Dark Sea can wait a little, but the fun cannot!
Once that’s gone, it’s truly gone.
However, in this world, the Traveler Lumine and Paimon should be arriving at the place Morax mentioned soon, right?
Jiang Yan stroked his chin.
But it certainly won’t be easy for Lumine and Paimon to find Morax.
If Morax were that easy to find, Childe of the Fatui wouldn’t have had to beat around the bush asking for his whereabouts near Zhongli.
After a night had passed, Jiang Yan also left his home and flew toward Jueyun Karst.
Morax only told Lumine and Paimon that he was most likely in the Jueyun Karst area.
Therefore, Lumine and Paimon should have already entered Jueyun Karst by now.
Jiang Yan was not worried that Lumine and Paimon would discover that the message Morax gave was a ruse.
Because whether it is Jueyun Karst or Qingce Village, they are now sacred retreats for the adepti.
It’s just that Qingce Village is mostly inhabited by mortals and low-ranking adepti.
While most of Jueyun Karst is where powerful, top-tier adepti go to cultivate in seclusion.
So, with those adepti present, it would be easy for Lumine and Paimon to discover that it is a place for adepti to rest and cultivate.
It wouldn’t be strange for the Lord of Geo to be in such a place.
Just as he arrived at Mount Aocang, Jiang Yan saw Morax sitting in the small pavilion at the summit.
Beside him, Cloud Retainer sat there, seemingly chatting with Morax about something.
"Morax, you’ve arrived so early?"
Jiang Yan landed and sat down beside Cloud Retainer.
"Hmm, is it finished on your end?"
Morax glanced at Jiang Yan and said in a steady tone.
"Yes, it’s settled with Ganyu."
Jiang Yan nodded.
"Hmm? What are you two talking about? Ganyu knows too?"
Cloud Retainer, off to the side, narrowed her eyes slightly and asked the two in front of her.
"Nothing, just a small matter."
Jiang Yan had no intention of telling Cloud Retainer about this.
Because if Cloud Retainer knew, given her big-mouthed nature, all the adepti in Liyue would know within two days.
And it’s better if fewer people know about the affairs of the Dark Sea.
Cloud Retainer looked at Morax and Jiang Yan with some suspicion.
These two definitely had some secret.
However, since they were unwilling to speak, even though Cloud Retainer was very curious, she didn’t ask.
After chatting for a while, Cloud Retainer glanced at the sun in the sky, confirmed the time, and said to the two sitting opposite her:
"It’s almost mealtime, I’ll go cook for you two."
Saying this, Cloud Retainer stood up, intending to go into her abode to prepare the meal.
"Hmm? What do you plan to use to cook?"
Jiang Yan looked around and found no stove that could be used for cooking, so he asked curiously.
Upon hearing Jiang Yan say this, Cloud Retainer raised her head as if showing off and said to him:
"That would certainly be my semi-automatic cooking tool... Mark II!"
Cloud Retainer put her hands on her hips, looking as if she were incredibly proud of herself.
"A... semi-automatic cooking tool?!"
Jiang Yan couldn’t help but shiver.
He still had a deep impression of that thing.
Recalling a while back, someone’s semi-automatic cooking tool seemed to have blown up the pot...
Morax looked at Jiang Yan with some confusion and asked:
"What’s wrong with you?"
It was the first time he had seen Jiang Yan make such an expression.
"Nothing, I just think it’s better not to eat this meal."
Jiang Yan coughed dryly; in the end, he didn’t want to take the risk.
After all, it wouldn’t be fun if the pot exploded again.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that, Jiang Yan!"
Cloud Retainer was somewhat dissatisfied.
Jiang Yan’s appearance and these words.
It was clearly a lack of confidence in her semi-automatic cooking tool Mark II.
It wasn’t like the pot exploded when it was the Mark I...
Oh right, it seemed to have given someone a fright back then...
"This is the Mark II! Although it is something I just researched... but it will definitely not have the same problems as the Mark I!"
Cloud Retainer tried her best to sell her newly researched semi-automatic cooking tool Mark II to Jiang Yan.
She felt that someone like Jiang Yan.
Was perfectly suited for this machine she had researched.
Jiang Yan was silent.
He really didn’t want Cloud Retainer to use that thing to cook.
Because for some reason.
Jiang Yan always felt that thing was unreliable.
Cloud Retainer, this fellow, spent every day researching some strange products.
This Mark II was probably made by dismantling many ruin machines.
"Oh my!! Believe me this once!!"
Cloud Retainer stomped her feet in anger as she looked at Jiang Yan’s "I don’t believe you" expression.
"Haha, since that’s the case, let’s believe Cloud Retainer once."
Morax smiled and smoothed things over, saying to Jiang Yan beside him.
Morax, who hadn’t experienced the first-generation semi-automatic lazy cooking tool, didn’t think it was that unreliable.
After all, it had already reached the second generation; there shouldn’t be any major problems.
Morax thought with some confidence.
Jiang Yan looked at Cloud Retainer’s determined expression, and with Morax’s persuasion, he finally agreed.
"Fine, fine, then go ahead and try it."
Jiang Yan sighed and said.
"Alright!"
Seeing Jiang Yan relent, Cloud Retainer cheered and walked toward her abode.
Before long, Jiang Yan fell into silence as he looked at the four pots Cloud Retainer brought up.
"So... the Mark II you mentioned is actually just an extra pot??"
Jiang Yan looked at Cloud Retainer in disbelief.
Because the pot in front of him.
Compared to the previous Mark I.
It was exactly the same!
Even!
On the other three pots, one could vaguely see the traces of the previous explosion.
