Just as Yun Xu and Ganyu were eating, Lumine and Paimon arrived at Wanmin Restaurant right on time, even bringing Shenhe with them.
Shenhe had nowhere to go in Liyue Harbor and didn't know how to find Yun Xu, so she temporarily followed Lumine and her companions.
However, as soon as she entered the restaurant, Shenhe's eyes automatically locked onto the fox ears twitching slightly nearby due to the delicious food.
"Senior Brother."
"Cough, cough cough...?!"
Shenhe walked over and sat down beside Yun Xu and Ganyu, who were facing each other, startling Ganyu, who had inadvertently eaten a bit too much of the delicious vegetarian dishes, almost choking her to death.
"Oh? It's Shenhe! You've come to Liyue Harbor. Come, come, come, eat whatever you like. Senior Brother is treating today!"
Hearing Shenhe's voice, Yun Xu quickly got up to get Shenhe a bowl and chopsticks.
But as soon Xu Yun got up, a pair of chopsticks and a bowl were suddenly handed over.
Yun Xu subconsciously took them, then looked at the person who had handed them over.
Lumine and Paimon were each holding a bowl and chopsticks, smiling as they sat down in the seats opposite Shenhe.
"You just said we could eat whatever we wanted, right? We all heard it, all four ears heard it."
Lumine and Paimon picked up their chopsticks and said to Yun Xu with mischievous smiles.
"...Eat, everyone can eat."
Yun Xu was speechless for a moment, but still called Guoba to order more dishes.
The five people at the table all had quite an appetite, but fortunately, the prices at Wanmin Restaurant had always been very affordable. When Yun Xu went to pay, he found it was only about 50,000 Mora.
This was roughly equivalent to Lumine's daily commission income at the Adventurers Guild.
However, Paimon alone ate at least 20,000 Mora worth of food, while the other four shared the remaining 30,000 Mora worth of dishes.
Lumine's monthly food expenses for Paimon were about 300,000 Mora, meaning Paimon could, on average, eat 10,000 Mora worth of food per day.
However, it was more common for her to have a big meal every now and then in her daily life, so normally, Paimon wouldn't eat as much as 10,000 Mora a day; instead, she would eat a lot more during big meals.
And since Yun Xu was treating now, she naturally ate to her heart's content.
"Paimon, why don't you eat me next time? I'm a bit curious if you have something like a Serenitea Pot hidden in your stomach. Maybe it could be used for alchemy..."
After the meal, looking at Paimon's slightly bulging belly, Yun Xu stroked his chin and couldn't help but suggest this.
"?"
"Traveler, you heard him, didn't you? This time he asked for it himself. Next time, turn him into a roasted fox!"
Paimon was covering her bulging belly, and upon hearing Yun Xu's words, she immediately pointed at him and said to Lumine.
However, as soon as Paimon finished speaking, Shenhe's gaze fell upon her.
Although Paimon didn't notice Shenhe looking at her, she felt the air get a bit cold, so she just leaned closer to Lumine.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around."
"Speaking of which, Ganyu, your hairstyle today is really nice, very energetic!"
Lumine interrupted the playful banter between Yun Xu and Paimon, then gave a thumbs-up to Ganyu's pigtails.
It was her first time seeing Ganyu with such a hairstyle.
Ganyu's pigtails were different from Keqing's; Keqing's pigtails hung down behind her head, not very noticeable from the front, but Ganyu's high pigtails were the typical style that hung down from both sides of her head, looking especially lively and cute.
"Eh?"
Hearing Lumine's words, Ganyu subconsciously raised her hands and grabbed the hair on both sides of her head.
Then, her face turned red like a boiling kettle, and a wisp of white smoke emerged from the top of her head.
No, no wonder Ningguang smiled so strangely when she went to see him earlier... she forgot to change her hairstyle back!
Ganyu suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground and burrow into it.
Her hairstyle was tied by Yaoyao herself that morning, and she didn't want Yaoyao to be sad, so of course, she wouldn't untie it in front of her. As a result, she forgot about it as soon as she went out the door.
It wasn't that she truly forgot; after all, such an obvious hairstyle would swing around easily when she walked. The main thing was that when she saw it, she didn't think she should change it back.
Now that a familiar person pointed it out, she became shy.
"Senior Sister's forehead is so hot."
Shenhe, seeing this, reached out and touched Ganyu's forehead with the back of her hand, then nodded affirmingly.
"Um... please, please wait for me a moment..."
Ganyu said in a flustered voice, then quickly turned around and untied all the hair ties, letting her long, light blue hair fall loose down her back.
She would deal with her hair later; at least this way, she wouldn't feel shy... After doing all this, Ganyu finally turned back around.
"It's back to normal. What a pity, Ganyu looked so cute like that."
Seeing this, Lumine said with some regret.
"Please, please forget what I looked like just now!"
Ganyu said to everyone with a red face.
Although she knew that was impossible.
However, no one made Ganyu feel awkward; they all nodded, indicating that they had forgotten.
"By the way, Ganyu and Yun Xu, where are you two going?"
Leaving Wanmin Restaurant and walking outside, Lumine and Paimon, although they didn't know where they were going, still followed behind, curiously asking.
"Oh, Senior Sister gave me a house, and she's about to take me to see it."
Yun Xu took out the land deed and house deed from his qiankun bag and explained.
"G-gave him a house!"
Paimon's eyes widened; she hadn't realized Ganyu was so wealthy.
Before she and Lumine obtained the Serenitea Pot, they had considered buying a house, because even if they traveled to another country, they could still use a Teleport Waypoint to return to their house here to sleep.
However, all the areas near Teleport Waypoints were prime locations, and after seeing the many zeros on the house prices, they gave up on the idea.
As for houses far from Teleport Waypoints, traveling back and forth would be too much trouble.
Thus, the curious Lumine and Paimon continued to follow Yun Xu, all the way to the vicinity of the house Ganyu had given Yun Xu.
"Isn't this the way to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor...?"
Lumine and Paimon had been to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor before and were quite familiar with the area.
Soon, Ganyu led Yun Xu and the others to a stop next to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
"Because Yun Xu is very familiar with Mr. Zhongli and Miss Hu Tao of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I specifically prepared a house near the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."
Ganyu noticed the confusion in Yun Xu's and the others' eyes and immediately spoke up to explain.
"The owner of this house was originally renting it out, but Miss Ningguang bought it."
She continued to explain, then stepped forward to open the door.
It was a decent-sized residence, at least the kind of house one could only afford with some wealth. It was elegantly decorated and had a pleasant atmosphere.
"What a big house! So many bedrooms, enough for five or six people to live together..."
After touring the house, Paimon gained a new understanding of Ganyu's wealth.
"Mhm, mhm, thank you, Senior Sister Ganyu."
"By the way, Shenhe, do you also have nowhere to stay after coming down the mountain? Why don't you stay with me?"
Yun Xu thanked Ganyu, then suggested to Shenhe, who had been silently following him...
