His thinking also became more agile and clear, and all knowledge and experience seemed to be reorganized in an instant, giving him a deeper understanding of the world.

All these changes made Lin Mo feel an unprecedented power and confidence.

"It feels like stepping into a brand-new realm."

Feeling the changes in his body, Lin Mo sensed it deeply.

He could feel that there was a lot of energy in the air in front of him now, and he could control and transform this energy.

"Heliobi generally need to find a new body to parasitize; otherwise, they can only appear in their original form, usually by possessing."

"But I already have a physical body, and this Heliobus bloodline was scattered and fused into my body by a supreme power; it can be said that it allowed the Heliobus to grow the physical body most compatible with it."

"This panel is truly magical; it even fused the power of the Vidyadhara High Elder, and I can still strip it away."

Lin Mo deeply felt the terror of this Heliobus bloodline.

Even if he didn't actively urge it, he could still benefit greatly.

Closing his eyes to sense it, Lin Mo let out a long sigh: "Comfortable."

Returning to the Luofu this time, the mission was already completed.

As for the Nameless, with Sushang and Seeing Guinaifen helping him keep watch, he could pay attention to the news there at any time.

So Lin Mo chose to return to Teyvat with satisfaction.

After reappearing near the Sea of Clouds.

Lin Mo noticed that Collei and Fischl were no longer in the small vine house Collei had built in the distance.

Right now, they should be inside Liyue Harbor.

However, the next second, Lin Mo saw Keqing standing next to the small wooden house, her expression surprised.

How could Keqing be here alone?

"Lin Mo?!"

And as Lin Mo looked over, Keqing, who had just arrived in front of her house, noticed someone looking at her.

She immediately turned her head.

But just as she turned, she saw Lin Mo and her expression immediately turned to surprise.

To actually encounter Lin Mo here.

For a moment, that face, usually cold as frost, now had a soft luster.

Keqing's eyes were no longer that aloof coldness, but had a bit more tenderness and anticipation.

The sunset's afterglow spilled onto her face, reflecting an indescribable beauty.

"Good evening, Keqing."

Lin Mo walked over while nodding in greeting: "Why did you come here today?"

"Just finished with the Sea of Clouds affairs, and thinking of the wooden house I built here, I came to take a look."

Keqing said softly: "All the Liyue residents along the coast of the Sea of Clouds have been properly arranged, and today everything was finalized, so I just came over to relax and watch the sunset."

"I just didn't expect that a vine house would appear next door."

Speaking of the vine house, Keqing's expression was a bit strange: "Your life seems a bit too rich."

She had just finished building a small wooden house here, and a vine house appeared next door; without needing to think, she knew it must be related to Collei, who was by Lin Mo's side.

"That's quite a coincidence; I came to find Collei and Fischl."

Lin Mo shook his head and laughed: "But I saw you here."

"As for Collei and Fischl, they were in Liyue Harbor this afternoon, seemingly at the Yunhan Society."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Keqing nodded gently: "I saw those two when I was traveling between Liyue Harbor and the Moonsea Pavilion this afternoon."

"Exactly, in a while we'll go back to Liyue Harbor and eat at Xinyue Kiosk."

Speaking of this, Keqing elegantly brushed her hair with her right hand and said softly to Lin Mo: "Now is our private time."

When saying this, Keqing's face was slightly flushed, but her eyes were bold!

"Private time?"

Hearing Keqing's words, Lin Mo rubbed Keqing's hair: "I'll listen to you."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, a brilliant smile appeared on Keqing's face, a smile like the sudden sunlight in winter, warm and precious.

She reached out and gently held Lin Mo's hand.

That pair of hands, usually used only for holding a sword, now transmitted a warmth.

Then Keqing pulled Lin Mo into the wooden house.

In this warm moment, it seemed only each other's breathing and heartbeats remained between the two.

Everything around them was quiet, as if even time had stopped for them.

At this moment, Keqing's cold exterior had completely melted; in front of Lin Mo, she was just an ordinary woman, longing for love and to be loved. And Lin Mo was the harbor she chose to stay in.

While Lin Mo and Keqing entered the wooden house, and Keqing was lying down obediently.

On the other side.

Luofu.

Shangziwei.

Seeing Guinaifen was excitedly rubbing her hands, looking at Yancui in front of her: "Master Yancui, what do you think of what we said? Is this feasible?"

"Regarding this kind of thing, it's actually not impossible."

Hearing Seeing Guinaifen's words, Shangziwei's head chef Yancui looked at Seeing Guinaifen and Sushang with a conflicted expression: "But, isn't this deceiving people?"

Listening to Seeing Guinaifen's meaning, she wanted to join forces with her to deceive people?

"No, how could it be deceiving people? We are just like filming a play."

Seeing Guinaifen said hurriedly: "Doesn't Shangziwei also have Crazy Thursday? We can just use this day; Boss Yancui, you provide a venue, and if my script becomes popular, your Shangziwei will inevitably become popular again, although Shangziwei's reputation is already quite good."

"That's right, Sister Yancui."

Beside her, Sushang also nodded hurriedly: "You won't have any losses; we're just letting Xiao Guizi do some work, and if Xiao Guizi really learns any skills from you, she will also be grateful to you."

"Just help us out."

As she spoke, Sushang looked at Yancui with anticipation.

Sister Yancui was still easy to talk to.

"Fine."

Hearing Sushang's words, and looking at Seeing Guinaifen, who was pressing her hands together and begging her, Yancui rubbed her temples: "Then I'll play along with your nonsense for a while."

"But let's say it beforehand: since we're doing it, we naturally have to do it the best. In a while, Xiao Guizi, come with me and learn how to make one or two dishes; I don't want Shangziwei to be left with any bad reputation."

"No problem."

Hearing Yancui's words, Seeing Guinaifen said hurriedly: "I'm just begging for it; even if Sister Yancui didn't say it, I would have."

Since she wanted to build this persona of a delivery girl, she certainly had to understand how to make some dishes.

Otherwise, it would be very awkward and unnatural when filming.

What she wanted was that sense of proficiency and naturalness.

Immediately, Seeing Guinaifen excitedly followed Yancui into the kitchen.

Sushang followed hurriedly.

"I happen to have some ingredients here that you can practice with, but only some."

Yancui, who brought Seeing Guinaifen into the Shangziwei kitchen, spoke as she walked, her expression appearing both serious and gentle.

The kitchen was filled with all kinds of ingredients, colorful and emitting an enticing aroma.

Yancui began to teach Seeing Guinaifen while taking out several special ingredients.

"Seeing Guinaifen, cooking first requires sufficient awe and understanding of the ingredients. Every ingredient has its unique flavor, and your task is to maximize their characteristics." Yancui's voice was not loud, but every word was clear and powerful.

Seeing Guinaifen stood beside Yancui, her eyes filled with focus and awe.

She carefully followed Yancui's guidance to process the ingredients, striving for precision with every knife stroke.

Yancui corrected her movements from time to time, sometimes the angle of her wrist, sometimes the force of the knife technique. Seeing Guinaifen accepted them one by one, practicing repeatedly without getting tired of it.

The kitchen was filled with a rich aroma, and time seemed to slow down here.

Seeing Guinaifen's brows were tightly locked, fully focused on the food in front of her.

She knew the preciousness of this learning, and she had no intention of relaxing at all regarding the guidance of such a senior head chef as Yancui.

"Remember, cooking is not just a skill, but an art."

Yancui said softly from the side, "Although you are going to film a play, your mood, your perception of the ingredients, and even your mood that day will affect the final taste."

"Mm-hmm."

Hearing this, Seeing Guinaifen nodded seriously, her movements becoming more natural and smooth.
