Chapter 188

These words immediately caused Yingmeihe Sect's two to show expressions of shock.

How did she know?

"Hello, my name is Astroljies Mo Na Meijisitus, a stargazer."

After introducing herself, Mo Na stated her purpose.

"I've come to ask you to help me retrieve a box belonging to my Master in Mondstadt."

It was a promise made fifty years ago between her and a friend, but now that she's grown old and moves with difficulty, only I can do it."

"Retrieve the box? This seems unrelated to us—why drag us into it?"

Zhidaoxiao Sect muttered, "Besides, we have our own matters to attend to!"

They had barely convinced Boss Kou to take up the stove,

and if this delayed them, wouldn't it be a terrible loss?

Yingmeihe Sect also nodded.

If they were normally busy, that would be fine,

but they had matters now.

"No problem, I can wait until you finish your business."

Mo Na said without concern.

Although winning that contest required the traveler before her,

she didn't want to delay them because of it.

"In that case, if you don't mind, join us."

After exchanging glances, Yingmeihe Sect made the decision.

"Then we're in your debt."

Soon the group of two became three.

"By the way, what are you busy with?"

Mo Na asked curiously.

"We're gathering ingredients for Boss Han—then we'll get to eat his food!"

Zhidaoxiao Sect grinned.

"So he's a chef?"

Mo Na nodded.

In that case, it should be a simple matter.

Probably won't take long.

"Boss Han isn't an ordinary chef—his culinary skill is extremely high, and this is an opportunity we barely obtained!"

Zhidaoxiao Sect boasted.

Clearly proud of the chance to eat Han Feng's food.

Yingmeihe Sect sighed inwardly.

How could it be easy?

This was an opportunity she nearly had to sleep with him to earn.

"A high-level chef? I've seen some in Liyue—their cooking skills are all impressive."

Mo Na shook her head dismissively.

"Hmph, can Liyue chefs' dishes glow?"

"Can Liyue chefs' dishes make people cry?"

Zhidaoxiao Sect's face twisted in disdain.

Then instantly turned to adoration.

"Boss Han can make all of them—including every dish from the manga 'Little Chef'."

"'Little Chef' manga?"

Mo Na blinked.

What does cooking have to do with manga?

And what exactly is this manga?

Seeing Mo Na's curious expression, Yingmeihe Sect couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose.

She knew Zhidaoxiao Sect was about to start conning someone again.

She knew Zhidaoxiao Sect was about to start conning someone again.

when Zhidaoxiao Sect saw Mo Na bring up the manga, she immediately perked up.

"Manga is a book with lots of pictures and little text.

Boss Han runs a manga shop in Mondstadt called the Worry-Relieving Bookhouse—just reading manga there earns you rewards."

"Reading those manga books earns rewards?!"

Hearing this, Mo Na frowned slightly.

Her expression said: You're joking, right?

How could something so absurd exist?

Yingmeihe Sect and Zhidaoxiao Sect had seen this expression countless times before.

Whether disbelief or disdain,

everyone who eventually went to Boss Han's manga shop ended up utterly stunned.

Finally, going to Boss Han's comic shop always left them utterly stunned.

The Bennet they had met before was just like this.

At first, they flat-out refused to believe it.

But later, after witnessing the magic of the comic shop, they became loyal fans of the comic shop.

I heard he left the city today to go on an adventure,

just to earn more Mora.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have enough money to buy comics.

Little Paimon scratched his head.

How could he trick her into believing this?

Should he tell her everything about their previous experiences?

750

But her expression didn't look like someone who believed easily!

Little Paimon was stuck in a dilemma.

In the end, he gave up overthinking and spoke bluntly.

"I don't know how to explain it to you, but Mr. Han's comic shop is just incredibly magical.

As long as you go there to read comics, you might receive all sorts of things you never imagined.

If you don't believe it, come with us and see for yourself later."

In Little Paimon's view,

the only way to truly make someone like this believe is to let them experience it firsthand.

"Judging by the way you've described it, I've grown curious about that Solace Bookhouse and Mr. Han."

Mo Na's tone grew excited.

She didn't believe a word of Paimon's story.

Reading comics could earn rewards?

How could something so absurd possibly exist?

But their expressions didn't seem like lies at all?

"Then let me try a divination."

For Mo Na, whenever she encountered something interesting or something she didn't understand, she would perform a divination.

Perhaps she could uncover some secret.

She moved her hands through the air,

and a blue water divination disc appeared before her.

"Huh? What is she doing?"
