A chapter added for the great [Ba Liang Wu Hua Rou]'s tip, thank you for the tip!
"Mmmph~ Mantou, such fragrant mantou~"
Feng Yi grabbed the fragrant mantou in front of him and took a soft bite. The next moment, a sharp pain in the soft flesh of his waist jolted him awake.
"Mmm... Keqing, you're here. Hiss~ That hurts!"
As soon as Feng Yi opened his eyes, he saw Keqing sitting beside him, her hand still firmly pinching the soft flesh of his waist. Feng Yi couldn't help but cry out in pain.
While Feng Yi was bewildered, he glanced and saw the patch of drool on Keqing's chest. How could he not know what had just happened?
He must have been eating mantou in his dream, and his body reacted accordingly in reality.
"Mistake, mistake! Does it still hurt? Let me rub it for you!"
Feng Yi pulled Keqing's soft waist into his arms and began to rub the spot where she had just bitten him.
"Mmmph~"
Keqing slumped into Feng Yi's embrace, her strength to resist completely gone.
"This tea is quite good, would you like to try some?"
Feng Yi looked at Keqing, whose face was flushed, in his arms and heartily recommended.
"Mmm~"
Keqing let out a soft purr like a kitten. She had lost all ability to think independently. Whatever Feng Yi said, she would just instinctively agree.
"This tea has been here for a while, it's a bit cold. Let me warm it up for you!"
Feng Yi poured the tea into a cup and found that it was no longer warm. So, he drank it himself, warming it up for Keqing for free.
"Mmmph... Gulp..." (It's warm, open your mouth!)
Feng Yi faced Keqing's small mouth, gently pinched her little face, and then parted her teeth to send the tea over.
Ten minutes later.
"Feng... Feng Yi, I'm going in first!"
Keqing's face was flushed, her head lowered, still savoring the technique of Feng Yi's tongue. She was so shy that she quickly slipped into the Serenitea Pot.
Feng Yi licked his lips with satisfaction.
Hmm? Didn't I just hydrate myself? Why is it dry again?
Feng Yi quickly took out another small pinch of spiritual tea and began to simmer it with spring water.
Counting them, the only invited guests left were Yan Fei, Ganyu, and Ningguang!
And just as he thought of Ganyu, Ganyu arrived.
She was accompanied by Yan Fei.
"Feng Yi, we're not late, are we?"
Ganyu handed the knitted scarf to Feng Yi and gently poured him a cup of the brewed tea.
"No, no. But why did you come together?"
Feng Yi took the teapot and poured two cups of hot tea for Ganyu and Yan Fei.
"We ran into Yan Fei just as we left, so we came together..."
Ganyu felt it was fate.
"I see. Then quickly go in and soak in the hot springs to relax your minds!"
Feng Yi nodded. With two more guests, only Ningguang was missing.
"Feng Yi, aren't you coming with us?"
Yan Fei blinked her eyes and looked at Feng Yi curiously.
"Another friend hasn't arrived yet. I'll wait a bit longer. You guys go in first!"
Feng Yi smiled. He had a feeling that Ningguang would be arriving soon.
"Okay, then we'll go in and wait for you!"
Ganyu and Yan Fei finished their tea, put down their cups, and entered the Serenitea Pot together.
Feng Yi glanced at the sun hanging high in the sky, eagerly awaiting Ningguang's arrival.
About ten minutes later, Ningguang, with her long legs, walked towards Feng Yi.
"My apologies, I had some urgent work that delayed me a bit..."
Ningguang smiled apologetically.
"It's alright, it's perfect timing. Let's go in together!"
Feng Yi took Ningguang, placed the Serenitea Pot in a relatively safe room, then opened the lid and entered with Ningguang.
"One male guest, one female guest!"
As soon as they entered the Serenitea Pot, they heard a familiar welcome.
Focusing, they saw Guoba waving to welcome them.
Guoba was truly reliable, warmly greeting every guest who entered.
"Good job! I'll pay you after dinner. Let's go now, there's no one else behind."
Feng Yi gave Guoba a thumbs-up, promising the reward he wouldn't forget.
"Mmm-hmm, hehe... Ice cream, top-grade ice cream..."
Guoba chuckled foolishly at this. His hard work was finally over, and he could finally eat the ice cream he had been longing for.
"Top-grade ice cream? What's that?"
Ningguang saw the cute little bear muttering about "top-grade ice cream" and curiously asked.
"It's what Feng Yi promised me, made with Green Feather Swan eggs. Its texture is a hundred times finer than regular ice cream, top-grade ice cream!"
Guoba looked warily at Ningguang, wondering if she was also eyeing his work reward.
"Top-grade ice cream made with Green Feather Swan eggs?"
Ningguang unconsciously murmured, and the next moment, the crazy scene from yesterday flashed through her mind.
"Feng Yi, are you sure he won't have any side effects after eating it?"
Ningguang, having thought of something, whispered a reminder in Feng Yi's ear.
"Should... should be alright, right?"
Feng Yi froze for a few seconds. How could he have forgotten this?
However, Guoba was a God, so he shouldn't be affected by the side effects of ice cream, right?
But he couldn't make an absolute guarantee.
Feng Yi couldn't figure out the pattern of the side effects of ice cream made with Green Feather Swan eggs.
He ate it and was fine, Qiqi and Yuanbao ate it and were fine, even Baishi ate it and was fine.
But Shenhe, Keqing, and Ningguang all experienced strange states after eating it.
Could it be... that only those who harbored ill intentions towards him would trigger the ice cream's side effects?
This was merely Feng Yi's conjecture, and the specific situation was yet to be determined.
To be safe, Feng Yi decided to inform Zhongli in advance, so that he would be prepared to suppress Guoba immediately if he went berserk. Feng Yi would cooperate by using the golden bell to purify Guoba's chaotic state.
After all, he couldn't find a female bear to mate with right now.
At the entrance to the hot spring pool, he parted ways with Ningguang. As for Guoba, he went to help Xiangling.
"Zhongli, Xiao, isn't this hot spring pool of mine great?"
Feng Yi changed his clothes and entered the pool, proudly saying to the two who were squinting comfortably.
"Feng Yi, this hot spring pool of yours is truly extraordinary. I admit, my perspective was too narrow..."
Zhongli smiled and nodded as Feng Yi approached.
"I will repay the kindness I received today in the future!"
Xiao also nodded in agreement.
"Oh, why are you both so serious? It's just using a few formations to circulate the spring water."
Feng Yi saw their serious expressions and suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The Water of Life is so precious, how can it be received in vain?"
Xiao said, inwardly looking up to him.
Feng Yi's noble character of giving without expecting anything in return deeply moved Xiao, and he felt he had learned a lot.
Feng Yi: "Water of Life? What Water of Life?!" (Voice crack)
