Chapter 114: The Last Executor of the Fatui
"Lululu!" Guoba called out twice and ran away with his eyes wide open. Master Mao also took over the responsibility of the kitchen and let his daughter have a good chat with Boss Mo.
At the same place, the two cooks were chatting happily. Xiangling would come up with some strange food combinations from time to time, and Mo Ran would also, after careful explanation, appeal to her emotions and reason with her to dispel her bad ideas.
"By the way, Boss Mo, I created a dish last time in Mondstadt called Jade Assorted Bag. I'll make it for you to try!" Xiangling said as she wanted to run back to the kitchen, but Mo Ran, who was known as the God of Cooking by the diners, stopped her.
"Xiangling, let's forget about it this time. We already have enough food on the table."
Xiangling was puzzled and murmured, "At your table?" The young chef turned around and found that there were two figures beside the table.
"It's you! I'm so sorry, I was too excited just now and didn't notice you." Xiang Ling scratched her head and Hao Yan smiled.
Paimeng choked on the food and said incoherently, "It's okay. Xiangling's cooking is so delicious. I have forgiven you." She was so obsessed with food that she ignored the two of them.
Kong shook his head and remained silent. Perhaps it was because Yan Shen was murdered and he had no clues about his blood relatives, so he was a little absent-minded.
"I'm glad you don't mind." Xiangling breathed a sigh of relief, chatted for a few more words, and then went back to help in the kitchen. As she left, she looked back with longing, "Boss Mo, please let me know next time you come to Wanmin Hall!"
Mo Ran nodded and said, "I know. I will." He turned around in black and saw a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Mo Ran, Xiang Ling just told you so much about cooking. Could it be that you are a chef who hides himself from the world like in the novels?"
"Otherwise, why did Xiangling just say that you are some kind of cooking god?" Anyone who has anything to do with food cannot escape Paimeng's eyes and ears.
Mo Ran smiled and neither admitted it nor said no, leaving it to Paimeng to guess.
Paimon hugged his little hands and said firmly: "If you don't say it, it means you admit it. Hehe, next time, cook a meal for me, no, cook a meal for Sora! I will also support you!"
Before Mo Ran could agree, a hearty laugh came into their ears. They heard the voice before seeing the person, and all the diners looked towards the door of Wanmin Hall.
There, a young man dressed in Zhidong clothing was standing against the wall. His handsome face and slightly mysterious dim eyes were filled with evil charm, giving people a very dangerous feeling.
"Hahaha, Mr. Mo Ran, I've heard of your great name for a long time. Today I finally have the honor of meeting you. There are also two friends who came from other places. Hello."
Paimeng asked: "Mo Ran, is he your friend? Why does he seem a little abnormal?"
Mo Ran replied: "No, but he is indeed not normal."
Paimon looked at the orange-haired man, imitated some casual tone, and asked: "What's your name? What do you want to see our boss Mo?"
The man who looked like he had plenty of money came closer and introduced himself with a smile: "You can call me Young Master."
Paimon let out a loud wow, put his hands on his hips, and pouted, "What a terrible personality! He treats us like servants the first time we meet? The person next to me is Boss Mo, who is known as the God of Cooking in Liyue!"
The man who called himself Young Master laughed and said, "Haha, I didn't mean that. The name is just a code name, just like... you should have met the lady in Mondstadt, right?"
"Madam, sir." Paimon read it again, and suddenly asked in surprise: "You are the executive officer of the Fatui?!"
The young master narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Ah, don't worry, I'm not here to fight with you. The lady left a very bad impression on you, right? Alas...that woman, I don't like her either."
"Forget it, let's forget about that woman for now. I want to discuss something with this famous traveler, and I want to meet Mr. Mo Ran who has been doing business in Liyue until now and still stands firm."
Kong said in a deep voice: "I don't need the help of the Fatui!" Ever since Mondstadt, he had a very bad impression of the Fatui and hated what they did.
The young master did not get angry, and continued: "Hey, I am the executive officer of the Fatui after all, don't be so disrespectful."
Mo Ran raised his head slightly and said nonchalantly, "It seems that the Seven Stars of Liyue have a decree that clearly stipulates that Fatui executives are not allowed to enter Liyue Harbor, right?"
The young master spread his hands and said, "I am here on behalf of the East Country to carry out friendly cultural exchanges in Liyue Harbor. Liyue also has laws that allow cultural exchange ambassadors to enter Liyue Harbor, so there is no problem with me being here."
Mo Ran said slowly: "But there are also Liyue laws that stipulate that every three months, all personnel who come to exchange must be replaced, which also includes your executive officer. I remember that this time it should be that notorious lady who comes, right?"
"It seems that there are big problems for you here, young master!"
"Uh." The young master was stunned and laughed a few times. "I'm not a bad person. Well, I'm probably a bad person, but I have no ill will towards you, and I don't want to cause trouble for myself or for you."
The man with a wicked look on his face looked at the blond boy who was ready to use his elemental power and said with a smile: "Can you please give up the idea of 'knock this guy down immediately'?"
Mo Ran didn't want to listen to him nagging any more and was about to wave him away, but he saw a majestic man in a black and gold robe walking towards him. He had a pair of amber eyes and a pair of sword-like eyebrows. He looked dignified and intimidating without even getting angry.
It was the Rock King Emperor, who went by the alias Zhongli. He asked softly, "Mr. Mo Ran, you wouldn't mind having one more person to dine with, right?"
He asked, but sat down without waiting for an answer.
The doubt in the young master's eyes flashed away, and he smiled happily and said, "This must be Mr. Zhongli, right? I heard that you are very knowledgeable. If I have time, I must ask you for advice."
"Oh, I am just an idle man. I just have a few pounds of books in my belly and some poetic words to fool people occasionally. You are praising me too much." Zhongli said, his eyes never leaving the man in black, as if he was staring at a prisoner.
The young master smiled and said a few more words before getting straight to the point. "I heard that the traveler came to Liyue to see the God of Rock?"
Kong glanced at him warily, and reactivated the elemental force. Paimon pointed at the evil man and said angrily: "How did you know? I tell you, Kong is very strong. Don't even think about attacking us!"
The young master smiled brightly, looking harmless, but always with some bad intentions, "I didn't know it before, but now I know."
"Okay! You lied to me, humph, Sora, we...we, damn it, I'm so angry!" Paimon folded his hands and said angrily, "I can't think of how to punish him."
The young master laughed and said, "It's just a little trick, don't take it to heart. I didn't come to you to quarrel. I'm not good at this. If you want to fight, let's wait until next time!"
It was rare for Kong to speak in person, so he asked with a fixed gaze, "Then what are you doing this for?"
"I think you came to see the God of Rock because you have something important to ask, but now the God of Rock has been killed, and you haven't been able to get the answer you need, so I brought this."
In the young master's palm, there was a talisman floating, which contained a powerful force that was extremely powerful for mortals. Mo Ran sighed and decided to let them make it.
"This is a talisman with no taboos. It can lead you to the land of immortals, Jueyunjian. There, you should be able to find the answers you need."
Kong took the talisman with some suspicion and asked, "Why are you helping me? This shouldn't be of any benefit to a Fatui like you."
The young master chuckled a few times and asked, "If I say that I was just impulsive, would you believe me?"
Kong thought for a while, put away the talisman, and prepared to leave. Paimeng hurriedly said, "Hey, Kong, you don't really believe what he said? He is a fool!"
Kong patted his chest and said, "This is the only way now. In order to find my sister as soon as possible, I have no choice but to go."
"Really?" Paimon stomped his feet in the air. "Then I'll go with you. I'm your good guide!"
Paimon turned around and waved, "Mo Ran, Kong and I are leaving first. See you next time."
Mo Ran nodded and said, "Go early and come back early."
