Xiangling hurried over after hearing Feng Yi wanted her to make medicinal cuisine, putting down what she was doing.
"Feng Yi, what medicinal cuisine do you want me to help with? With the most skilled chef in Liyue here, you can rest assured!"
Xiangling patted Guoba beside her, full of confidence.
"Make some blood-replenishing medicinal cuisine for Keqing! I've already prepared the main ingredients!"
Feng Yi mainly wanted to recover some energy for Guoba, which was why he had asked Xiangling to come.
The golden bear paw seemed to have a natural deodorizing effect, lacking the usual gamey smell of bear paws.
In fact, even if it were simply cooked, it wouldn't affect its blood-replenishing properties, only its texture would be somewhat lacking.
Guoba could recover some energy by absorbing Xiangling's culinary dedication and by consuming the Great Bear's Paw. This was the key point.
"Oh? Let me see, what ingredients are they!"
Xiangling's eyes lit up, and she eagerly looked at Feng Yi.
Feng Yi smiled slightly and snapped his fingers. The golden bear paw appeared on the tea table out of thin air.
Xiangling, being a chef, would be able to cook better if she understood the ingredients.
Ganyu was close to him, so Feng Yi didn't need to keep anything from her.
Keqing was a major client, and only by letting her know the preciousness of the ingredients could Feng Yi ask her for reimbursement of Mora.
As for the remaining Guoba, what could a silent Guoba do even if it knew? Did it have the ability to speak out?
Therefore, after consideration, Feng Yi decided there was no need for secrecy and directly retrieved the golden bear paw from his divine status as a River God.
"Wow! Look at this luster, look at this meat quality! I've never seen such a high-quality bear paw! I'm so touched I could cry t﹏t"
The moment Xiangling saw the golden bear paw, she pounced like a fierce tiger, leaning over the table and deeply inhaling its aroma.
It was exactly the same as Chef Mao's state back then. Indeed, they were biological father and daughter, no paternity test needed!
"Guoba! Did you see? A golden bear paw! Guoba, look quickly..."
Xiangling, unable to contain her excitement, repeatedly patted Guoba's large head.
Guoba: This thing is right in front of my eyes, I'm not blind!
Guoba roared internally, but who could he blame? Xiangling was his milk tea supplier, so he dared not retort.
"You can use this part to make a medicinal cuisine!"
Feng Yi swiftly cut off a piece the size of a fist and handed it to Xiangling.
"Leave it to Chef Xiangling, and you can rest a hundred and eighty percent assured!"
Xiangling excitedly cupped the small piece of golden bear paw and spun around, wishing she could kiss it on the spot if it were appropriate.
"Feng Yi, can we discuss something? You still have so much left, how about selling me a small portion?"
Xiangling suddenly hugged Feng Yi's shoulder and blinked her eyes.
"Uh... you probably can't afford it, no, you definitely can't afford it!"
Feng Yi thought for a moment and replied truthfully.
It could be said that this golden bear paw was the only one of its kind on the continent of Teyvat, and a second one could absolutely not be found.
Its rarity was comparable to that of Archon meat.
Moreover, Feng Yi wouldn't trade it even if Zhongli offered him "fat grub meat" in exchange.
A bite of "fat grub meat" would leave half a mouthful of dirt, how could it be as nutritious as the Golden Great Bear meat?
It could also strengthen yang and replenish essence, effectively improving his future marital bliss!
"If... I say, if I inherit my dad's Wanmin Restaurant, and I mortgage Wanmin Restaurant to you, can I afford this golden bear paw?"
Xiangling looked at Feng Yi with hope. Wanmin Restaurant could be rebuilt if lost, but precious ingredients, once gone, were truly gone.
Moreover, as an excellent chef, pursuing the improvement of culinary skills was the most important thing. She could control the shop, but she shouldn't be bound by it.
Chef Mao: You make me so proud!
"I'm sorry, Xiangling, I understand your thoughts, but this golden bear paw is not a mundane item that can be measured by Mora. Let me put it this way, its preciousness is comparable to the flesh and blood of an Archon..."
Feng Yi shook his head helplessly. He couldn't sell the entire golden bear paw to Xiangling, but as a friend, he could give her a small portion.
"However, if you're willing, I can give you a small portion as a token of our friendship!"
Feng Yi cut off another small piece and handed it to Xiangling.
"Thank you, Feng Yi. I am honored to have you as a friend. May our friendship be as precious and sacred as the Jade Chamber suspended in the sky!"
Xiangling wept with joy, hugged Feng Yi tightly, and offered a heartfelt wish.
Feng Yi: Xiangling, you can't make that comparison!
"May our friendship be as deep as the sea, and as enduring as the sun and moon!"
Feng Yi quickly added a couple of sentences, otherwise, their friendship would be over in three years.
Xiangling nodded and smiled, then ran towards the kitchen with Guoba, preparing to cook the medicinal cuisine.
"Feng Yi, this golden bear paw is so precious, is it... such a waste for me to have it?"
Keqing had also overheard Feng Yi and Xiangling's conversation. The thought of Feng Yi voluntarily taking out such a precious ingredient to make medicinal cuisine for her filled her with deep emotion.
"I gave Xiangling a golden bear paw as a token of friendship, and I can't give it to you? Or are you saying you don't consider me a friend?"
Feng Yi's face stiffened, and he spoke in a deep voice.
If Keqing didn't accept the golden bear paw, how could Feng Yi ask her for reimbursement of Mora?
Since the golden bear paw was so precious, it should be fine for Feng Yi to ask her for a loan of two million Mora when he was short on cash to tide him over, right?
"No, no! I'm very happy that you consider me a friend!"
Keqing quickly waved her hands, no longer refusing. She planned to give Feng Yi a grand gift in return once her injuries had healed.
"That's for the best. Keqing, you wait here for Xiangling to finish cooking the medicinal cuisine and eat it while it's hot. I have something urgent to discuss with Ganyu!"
Feng Yi instructed her and then pulled Ganyu away from the study.
As they passed the desk, he casually collected several bottles of prepared goat milk into the Serenitea Pot.
"Feng Yi, why the rush? What's so urgent?"
Ganyu, pulled by Feng Yi into the adjacent room, asked curiously as soon as she entered and saw Feng Yi frantically closing the doors and windows.
"Of course, it's to continue... unfinished business!"
Feng Yi reached out and embraced Ganyu's slender waist, his other hand beginning to undress her.
"Feng Yi... Xiangling and Keqing are in the next room? What if they hear us?!"
Ganyu knew exactly what Feng Yi intended now, but she couldn't resist him, so she was both shy and worried about being discovered.
"We'll keep our voices down, and they shouldn't hear us!"
The hand Feng Yi used to hold her waist was already sliding down Ganyu's curves.
"Mmmph~"
Ganyu endured the ticklish sensation, panting heavily, and leaned powerlessly into Feng Yi's embrace, letting him have his way.
Considering the environment, Feng Yi didn't go too far, only taking a few sips of divine essence.
When Feng Yi finished, he opened the door to find that Xiangling had already finished cooking the medicinal cuisine and had left the Moonlit Pavilion.
It was late, so Feng Yi bid farewell to the shy Ganyu.
However, Feng Yi never expected to encounter Shenhe, who was waiting for him at the entrance of the Moonlit Pavilion!
