Time quickly came to dinner, and the celebration banquet on the Jade Chamber also became lively.
Yun Xu and the others naturally arrived on time and sat at a table.
Today's celebration banquet, in addition to celebrating Liyue Harbor overcoming the crisis brought by Beisht, was also Yun Jin's new play's debut.
After the previous investigation in the village below Mt. Tianheng and questioning Shenhe herself, she roughly understood Shenhe's true experiences.
Coupled with Shenhe's earlier battle against Beisht to help Yun Xu, she gained some inspiration and revised the opera her father had compiled from folk legends.
However, before that, Yun Xu looked around the Jade Chamber for a long time, finally found Ganyu, and quickly ran over to pull her along, sitting at a table with himself, Lumine, Shenhe, and Paimon.
Soon, it was time for Yun Jin to take the stage.
"Alas..."
Yun Jin's performance was naturally very wonderful, and Shenhe, as the protagonist of the story, couldn't help but give a positive evaluation after the performance... Just like that, on the second day after Beisht's crisis ended.
Yun Xu asked the dialogue device to prepare a lavish dinner, and it entered the kitchen while grumbling.
Apparently, although Cloud Retainer installed a sassy module for it, it was limited to voice functions; it still had to work according to commands.
When the dialogue device brought a table full of delicious dishes, Shenhe, who had gone out earlier, also just returned.
"Shenhe, you're back just in time, come quickly and eat."
Yun Xu poked his head out of the dining room and waved at Shenhe, who had just entered.
Shenhe responded and came to the dining room.
"Senior Brother, I found a job."
Sitting down and taking the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the dialogue device, Shenhe suddenly said to Yun Xu.
"Ah...?"
Yun Xu was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until the dialogue device next to him tapped his hand with chopsticks that he reacted and took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the dialogue device.
"Wh-why did you suddenly look for a job? And what kind of job is it? You weren't tricked, were you? There are so many scammers now."
Yun Xu, having taken the bowl and chopsticks, also sat down and couldn't help but confirm with Shenhe.
"Senior Brother, please rest assured, it was just hearing it speak yesterday that made Shenhe feel ashamed."
"For the past month, I have lived with Senior Brother, but Shenhe only has some martial arts and no other special skills. Besides cleaning the room, there is nothing I can do to help Senior Brother."
Shenhe looked at the dialogue device next to her and explained.
"One should know oneself... Ouch!"
The dialogue device's words were cut short as Yun Xu swatted it away with a paw, sending it spinning several times in the air before it stopped.
"Silly Junior Sister, we are family. Being happy is more important than anything."
Only after swatting away the dialogue device did Yun Xu speak to Shenhe in the tone of a Senior Brother.
"Senior Brother, I have made my decision."
Shenhe gently shook her head.
"Alright, well, I certainly support you having your own things to do, but what kind of job did you find? Don't be like your Senior Sister, constantly busy."
Yun Xu could only nod and pressed Shenhe for more details.
"Just now I met Xiangling from Wanmin Restaurant, and she invited me to be a taste tester."
Shenhe replied.
"Uh... that doesn't really count as a job, does it?"
Yun Xu couldn't help but scratch his head; if he were to be honest, he was also the exclusive taste tester for the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
Over the past month, Hu Tao had also asked Yun Xu to taste test several times, and aside from a few strangely flavored dishes, her cooking skills were indeed continuously improving.
"I know, later I heard that Wanmin Restaurant has been quite busy recently, and Xiangling, Guoba, and Master Mao were overwhelmed, so they were hiring waiters."
"So I asked Xiangling and Master Mao if I could take the position, and although they were a bit surprised, they agreed after confirming I wasn't joking."
"I officially start work tomorrow."
Shenhe carefully explained to Yun Xu the process of finding her job.
This ethereal white-haired divine maiden suddenly saying she wanted to be a waiter at Wanmin Restaurant indeed surprised Xiangling and the others at first.
However, since Shenhe was not joking, they agreed.
"Uh... alright then, but Shenhe, as an employee, you need to be careful not to casually smash customers' heads into the ground. However, if someone bullies or harasses you, then give them a good two hits."
"With Senior Brother here, as long as you don't kill anyone, it's fine."
Yun Xu admonished Shenhe, patting his chest at the end.
"Shenhe will keep it in mind."
Shenhe nodded her head.
Just like that, Shenhe officially started working at Wanmin Restaurant the next day.
That day, Yun Xu treated everyone, inviting Zhongli, Ruo Li, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Lumine, Paimon, and others to dine at Wanmin Restaurant.
Although this made Shenhe a little busy, for her, simply carrying these few dishes back and forth was even easier than defeating an Ancient Geovishap with one hand.
For Shenhe, being able to let Senior Brother see her at work made her quite happy.
And Shenhe, this white-haired divine maiden becoming a waiter, indeed helped Wanmin Restaurant attract some customers in the following days.
Although it wasn't about serving dishes or pouring water, the food brought by the divine maiden seemed even more delicious.
For a time, Wanmin Restaurant seemed to have become like a maid café, which was said to have been popular in Inazuma or Fontaine.
However, serving dishes was Shenhe's job, and if anyone dared to speak disrespectfully, Shenhe, so as not to waste food, would first put the dishes down, and then grab the person's head and smash it to the ground.
The first time it happened, Xiangling was startled and rushed out of the kitchen to check the situation. After learning the cause and effect, she instead praised Shenhe for a job well done.
Although she herself had never experienced similar troubles, as a Damselette, she could empathize.
Girls hate people who randomly hit on them and speak rudely... On Mt. Tianheng, after several days of careful guidance, Ruo Li's top general, the Geovishap Ruo Zhi, officially emerged from seclusion.
The art of transformation was not easy, but he had already evolved. By slightly controlling his form, he became roughly the size of a human, though still a large individual about two meters tall.
Furthermore, although Teyvat has many humans with animal features, he, not being fully transformed, still had a dragon's face, unlike Yun Xu, who didn't mind if people saw his ears and tail.
If Yun Xu's ears and tail were seen, even Liyue people would absolutely not easily assume he was an adeptus; after all, even a divine maiden with Shenhe's ethereal aura, unless encountered in Jueyun Karst, wouldn't cause people to immediately bow down and pray for adeptal blessings.
Because everyone knows that adeptal blessings are hard to come by, most people wouldn't believe they easily encountered such a blessing, so they would only think Yun Xu was a human with animal ears.
Compared to Yun Xu, if Ruo Zhi's dragon face were seen, people would immediately shout, "Monster!" so he couldn't follow Ruo Li into the city.
"You go to The Chasm, gather the Geovishaps, recuperate, and develop well. I will come back to visit when I have time."
Ruo Li patted Ruo Zhi, who was kneeling on one knee.
After he transformed to a height of two meters, Ruo Li could finally reach his shoulder when he knelt.
"Yes, Great King..."
Ruo Zhi responded.
In these past few days, he had already learned human language from the power Ruo Li imparted.
After evolving, his throat already possessed the ability to speak human words...
