Chapter 328 Hot Spring
"...Attacking Inazuma? Why do you suddenly have such a dangerous idea?"
Liu Bai's thoughts made Nashida tilt her head.
"Girl, you may not know this, but I went to Inazuma yesterday and I found out that our pink-haired fox was raised by the Inazuma people."
"As long as we defeat Inazuma, the pink-haired fox will be ours."
Liu Bai explained to Nashida.
"…But the one in power now is Baalzebub, the God of Cooking you mentioned. She is your teacher."
Nashida silently reminded that it would be too hasty to attack Inazuma for a pink-haired fox.
"That's right, I can't be such an unfaithful and unfilial person!"
"But this way I won't be able to complete the commission from the Goddess of Cooking..."
Liu Bai suddenly realized and nodded immediately, but he became distressed again after he finished speaking.
"Sister Kitchen God?"
There was one more name, and Nashida couldn't help but repeat it.
"Yes, she is the Kitchen God's sister, the Kitchen God's sister."
Liu Bai nodded in response.
"Baal...Okay, I want to tell you why you smelled like another woman when you came back yesterday, and you even changed your clothes. Tell the truth!"
Nashida, who was hiding under her coat, jumped up and down and spoke angrily.
"Eh? Really? No?"
Liu Bai subconsciously raised his hand and sniffed.
"Then tell me the truth, what did you do in Inazuma yesterday?"
Nashida asked Liu Bai with a dissatisfied look.
Liu Bai had no choice but to report honestly.
For some reason he remembered yesterday's experience at Inazuma so clearly.
After accepting Zhen's request, Zhen saw that Liu Bai looked like he was struck by lightning, so he invited Liu Bai to change clothes in the Imperial Hot Spring Foam Bath, and then experience this hot spring specially for shogunate officials.
This is why it was already late at night when Liu Bai returned to Mond.
"Hehe, so that's how it is. Actually, the smell on you is that of a perfume. I can smell it."
After learning about Liu Bai's experience in Daoqi, Nashida spoke with confidence.
"But Inazuma's hot springs... although they contain many rare minerals and plants, they are essentially just hot water boiled in a blast furnace in winter. They are still far from real hot springs."
Then Nashida explained to Liu Bai that she had no intention of mocking him, she was just giving him scientific advice.
"I remember there are many natural hot springs in Nata. Let's go together next time when we have time."
Nashida added another sentence.
Of course Liu Bai would not refuse Nashida's proposal and nodded immediately.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. What is the commission that Barr asked you to give me?"
After finishing the topic of hot springs, Nashida continued to ask questions that she had not yet clarified.
After saying that, Nashida glanced ahead and scratched the right side of Liu Bai's abdomen under her coat, causing him to subconsciously turn his body sideways and shrink his stomach, successfully completing the right turn and avoiding hitting the wall.
"Sister Kitchen God asked me to help wake up Master Kitchen God..."
Liu Bai didn't realize that he was so busy talking to Nashida that he almost bumped into the wall while walking. After Nashida helped him adjust the direction, he began to explain.
"I see. The Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order should indeed be lifted... But from what I know about her, she should unconditionally obey Bal's orders when it comes to government affairs..."
"Could it be that the problem lies with General Raiden?"
After learning of the real request, Nashida nodded slightly and muttered something, and the two of them were almost at the headquarters of the Northland Bank.
"But the completion of this commission is not necessarily related to the attack on Inazuma, and the seven ruling countries are expressly prohibited from attacking each other by Sky Island."
"That's why Xumi doesn't even have his own army."
Then Nashida reminded Liu Bai and used Sumeru as an example.
The seven gods divided the world and guided the people. This was the rule bestowed by the Sky Island, and no one dared to violate it.
Although the Fatui are strong in diplomacy, Lady Rosaline dare not do anything in front of the Knights. Even if they are weak, the Fatui need a legitimate reason to take over the defense of Mondstadt.
The fundamental reason for Mondstadt's weakness was that Grand Master Falga knew this and took almost all of the Knights Templar's forces with him on the expedition.
Before the expedition, they deliberately cleared out the threatening monsters in Mondstadt. The remaining powerful monsters basically could not move freely, so there was no need to worry about the safety of Mondstadt.
However, he did not expect this change in Tevarin.
"Is that so... Then how should I wake up the Master of Cooking?"
Liu Bai was a little confused and couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
"Well... let's think of a way later. We'll be there soon."
Nashida thought about it for a moment, but seeing that they were about to reach the entrance of Northland Bank, she immediately reminded Liu Bai.
It's quite lively here, and some topics are not suitable for communication.
In addition, although it was winter, Liu Bai in his coat was still somewhat eye-catching. After all, his coat was basically the same style as the executive's coat.
Anyone who dares to copy this coat is either an executive or a guy who is tired of living.
However, not many people know the executives. Most of the people in Zhidong have only heard of the names and partial characteristics of other executives, except for a few executives who often appear in formal occasions, and are not sure whether Liu Bai is one of them.
Otherwise, the younger children in Dartalia's family wouldn't be unaware of his job.
"There's a little girl under the coat..."
"Now that you mention it, I have some impression of it. I heard that the executive officer named Puppet was a big guy with a little girl..."
"But... that guy doesn't look like a big guy, does he?"
Passersby at a distance were whispering.
Liu Bai didn't care about this and entered the Northland Bank with ease.
"Lord Lerch, Lady Nashida, the master is already waiting in the banquet hall. Please follow me."
As soon as I entered the door, the lady who had been waiting for a long time came to greet me.
Liu Bai and Nashida nodded, and followed each other's footsteps.
It was almost time for dinner, and Liu Bai didn't let Nashida hide under her coat anymore. He let her out, and the two of them quickly arrived at the banquet hall.
The banquet hall was as luxurious as the main hall of the Winter Palace. Crystal chandeliers decorated the ceiling, illuminating the entire banquet hall. Other decorations exuded an atmosphere of extravagance and luxury.
However, what Liu Bai was more concerned about was that the long table in the banquet hall was filled with various Liyue dishes.
"You two are finally here, please take a seat."
The lady withdrew silently, and Pantalone came over to greet her warmly.
"I heard in Liyue that Lerchi wanted to have a full-course Chinese feast."
"Although I don't know what level of banquet it is, but you said there are 108 dishes, so I specially asked someone to prepare 108 Liyue dishes, including all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, birds and beasts."
"However, in the cold winter, food is extremely precious and waste is not a good habit. So after we finish eating, I will give the untouched dishes to my subordinates. Please rest assured."
Pantalone explained as he welcomed the two people to sit down.
