Chapter 139: Oh No! The Shenyuan Sect Mage Is Also Here to Read Manga!

"I actually came here!"

The Shenyuan Sect mage's face also flickered with surprise.

It had previously wanted to come and take a look.

It was precisely because it accidentally spoke that the two girls with the Eyes of the Gods noticed it.

If not for my superior skills, I might have been left here dead.

"Should I go in?"

The Shenyuan Sect mage was torn.

From a rational standpoint, it should leave immediately.

Since the red-haired girl didn't find it, she might call more people over.

Once high-ranking figures arrive, it won't be easy to escape.

But if it leaves directly,

next time Mondstadt becomes alert,

it might not be so easy to sneak in again.

Moreover, since it had already reached the store's doorstep, not going in would feel like a waste to the Shenyuan Sect mage.

Along the way, it had heard many people received rewards here.

For instance, the power of the Prince's blood relative,

and the Ultimate Dragon with Azure Eyes that it longed for!

After weighing the pros and cons, the Shenyuan Sect mage ultimately decided to go in and take a look.

"Fortune favors the bold! For the Prince, I'll risk it!"

As long as I finish quickly, I'll still have time!

The Windrider Knights shouldn't arrive too soon.

With nervousness in its heart, the Shenyuan Sect mage stepped into the manga shop.

Before it could even look around, a casual voice came from ahead.

"Welcome, from the Shenyuan Sect… the Shenyuan Sect mage."

The Shenyuan Sect mage was startled and turned toward the voice.

Behind the counter, a black-haired young man was smiling at it.

"Is he the shop owner? He looks just like an ordinary person?"

The Shenyuan Sect mage internally voiced the same doubt as other newcomers.

Because the continent of Teyvat is saturated with elemental energy.

Ordinary strong individuals always have elemental energy flowing through them.

Yet this young man before it showed not the slightest fluctuation.

He was no different from ordinary civilians outside.

If he were truly ordinary, the Shenyuan Sect mage would have already approached and interrogated him.

But clearly, that wasn't the case.

To give away the Ultimate Dragon with Azure Eyes—so powerful—as a reward,

could such a shop owner really be ordinary?

Most importantly,

the Shenyuan Sect mage had a faint premonition.

If it dared to release even a trace of hostility, it might be instantly obliterated.

Precisely because of all these reasons, the Shenyuan Sect mage abandoned its usual arrogant demeanor and spoke with great respect.

"Boss, do you have those magical manga～～?"

As the Shenyuan Sect mage cautiously asked, Han Feng was also observing it.

"Amazing—the Shenyuan Sect mage actually came to read manga!"

Han Feng himself felt a strange sensation.

He had originally planned to close up, since no customers had come, and go check out the Deerhunter Restaurant.

But it seemed heaven had heard his thoughts.

At this final moment, a customer finally arrived.

And it was a Shenyuan Sect mage!!!

The world truly is vast, full of wonders.

As members of the Shenyuan Sect, why aren't you busy overthrowing the Heavenly Principle—a promising career—and instead come here to read manga?!

Will Shi Laimu and Tevinter come here next?

Just imagining that scene made Han Feng feel utterly bizarre.

But guests are guests.

Since the Shenyuan Sect mage wasn't causing trouble, merely wanting to read manga,

Han Feng would naturally do business with it.

"Of course—we have adventure, romance, and more—all on that shelf over there."

Han Feng pointed to the nearby bookshelf.

"I want to read… wait, what's that smell? (╯▽╰) So fragrant~~"

The Shenyuan Sect mage had intended to ask about the Ultimate Dragon with Azure Eyes, but suddenly caught a scent.

"That's the aroma of Mapo Tofu—from a manga called 'Little Chef'."

Han Feng explained briefly.

Although he had already finished eating, the aroma from the manga shop would linger for a while.

"Mapo Tofu?"

A trace of longing remained in the Shenyuan Mage's hoarse voice.

This thing smells so good—it must taste good too, right?

No, important matters come first; I must quickly find out about the Blue-Eyed Ultimate Dragon.

But tasting some fine food wouldn't hurt, would it?

Seeing the Shenyuan Mage's conflicted expression, Han Feng was surprised.

Do the Shenyuan Sect even have a habit of eating fine food?

But thinking of their background, Han Feng found it plausible.

In a sense, they are also a group of pitiful people.

After the fall of Khaenri'ah five hundred years ago, its people were cursed and turned into monsters.

Those without reason became Chuchu.

Those with reason became Shenyuan Mages.

If they were originally human, then longing for fine food isn't hard to understand.

"Boss, I'll take 'The Little Chef'."

After much struggle, the Shenyuan Mage ultimately could not resist the temptation of fine food.

He pulled out 100,000 Mora.

These were stolen from those few people—he never expected to use them now.

Then he walked toward the bookshelf.

Soon, he pulled out the manga of 'The Little Chef'.

Then he floated excitedly to the side and began reading.

"There really are so many dishes!"

"Whoa, this dish actually glows? How amazing!"

"So this is what Mapo Tofu looks like—it seems so appetizing, no wonder it smells so good!"

"If the Prince could eat all this food, his mood would surely improve."
