Chapter 116 Something is wrong
This dumb yellow-haired guy actually spoke. It seems that there are many differences between this world and the game, Xinyang thought to himself.
"Hey, Ying! I haven't eaten yet, why did you run away?" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white flying dwarf melon flying towards them, waving a skewer of grilled fish in its hand.
Seeing this, Ying shouted frantically, "Paimeng, you really can't eat any more! If you keep going like this, you'll eat up all my savings!"
After hearing this, Paimeng scratched his head a bit embarrassedly and said with a wry smile, "Hey, it's not entirely my fault... It's mainly because these snacks are really delicious! But then again, Ying, aren't we really a little too poor?"
Paimon's words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, and the scene fell into a dead silence.
Linghua's voice trembled slightly as she asked cautiously, "Um...are you very poor?"
Ying felt powerless and quickly snatched the grilled fish from Paimeng's hand. She took a big bite and said unhappily, "No matter how rich we are, we can't afford your excessive eating! Not to mention we have a long journey ahead of us. What if we're penniless by then?"
Seeing his delicious food being snatched away, Paimeng was extremely anxious. He immediately rushed forward to take back the grilled fish and held it tightly behind him, muttering to himself, "Oh my! If I had known earlier that when Grandma Ping expressed her gratitude to us, I should have chosen Mora instead of the Dust Song Pot. Otherwise, we wouldn't be so poor now! Don't you dare steal my grilled fish again!"
Paimeng then hid the grilled fish as if it were a rare treasure, as if he was afraid it would fall into Ying's clutches again. Seeing this, Ying had no choice but to give up: "Grandma Ping gave us the Dust Song Pot because she was worried that we would be homeless and sleep in the open during our journey. How could you think that?"
Paimon disagreed and retorted, "If we had enough Mora, we could just stay in a comfortable hotel every day. Why suffer this?"
Ying wanted to refute, but after thinking carefully, what Paimeng said seemed to make some sense. She was speechless and didn't know how to respond. The scene fell into silence for a while.
At this moment, Ying realized that Xinyang and Linghua had been watching them. A trace of embarrassment spread across her face, and she hurriedly explained to them, "I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you. This is Paimon, my guide on this journey. She's actually a good person in every way, but she's just a real glutton..."
Linghua quickly waved her hands and said with a smile, "No, no, I don't find it funny at all. On the contrary, I really envy your friendship! It must be very happy to have such a caring and lovely friend by your side during this long journey."
After hearing this, Paimon puffed out his chest proudly, winked at Ying, and said coquettishly, "Did you hear that? Ying, as your best friend and guide, it's only natural for me to eat more!"
Ying put her hands on her hips and made a disdainful expression, secretly sighing in her heart that having such a quirky partner to accompany her really added a lot of fun and laughter to the originally dull adventure.
Linghua leaned close to Xinyang's ear and whispered, "She's so pitiful. She got separated from her brother. Not only is she without Mora on the journey, but she also has a guide who loves to eat. Why don't we help her?"
Xinyang scratched his head. "How can we help her? We can't just throw Mora to her. She won't accept it. We have to at least find a reason."
At this time, a few dark clouds floated over the sky and the sea breeze became rapid. Several people said in unison, "It's going to rain soon." As soon as the four of them ran under the eaves, it started to rain heavily.
Ying summoned the Chen Ge Pot and said, "Everyone has nothing else to do now, so why don't you go into my Chen Ge Pot and rest for a while." After that, Paimon and Ying entered the Chen Ge Pot.
Linghua followed him into the Chen Ge Hu without any hesitation. Xinyang felt something was wrong being outside alone. Why did he always feel like his home was being robbed?
After entering the Dust Song Pot, Linghua was attracted by the cavernous world here. "It's so huge here! Liyue is truly magical. By the way, you said you were a traveler. You must have experienced many interesting things along the way, right?"
Ying recalled her journey with a complicated expression on her face: "I have indeed experienced a lot... There were thrilling battles on the continent of Teyvat, as well as beautiful scenery that was refreshing and heartwarming."
Linghua asked curiously, "Can you tell us about it?"
Paimon's interest piqued. She clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Hey, our journey is truly wonderful!" Then, Paimon began to recount their adventures in various kingdoms. Paimon vividly described the fierce battle with the Wind Dragon in Mondstadt, the thrilling confrontation with the Demon God in Liyue, and other wonderful encounters in other mysterious places.
Linghua was fascinated by what she heard, her eyes sparkling and she would occasionally exclaim in surprise. However, Xinyang, standing by, focused all his attention on Linghua. A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. Xinyang pulled Linghua aside and said, "I've thought of a way to help them."
"Hmm? Tell me about it."
"Purchase the Dust Song Pot from them. Paimon just complained that it would be better to ask for more Mora than the Dust Song Pot. Why don't we help them? Besides, we also need a convenient place to live."
A trace of worry flashed in Linghua's eyes. "But these were given to them by someone else. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to do this?"
At this moment, Xin Yang just wanted to leave Chen Ge Hu. "I'll go ask them. If they're willing, that would be great. If not, that's no big deal."
Linghua thought about it and agreed with Xinyang's idea. The two of them found Ying and Paimeng and told them their idea.
"Then how much Mora do you plan to use to buy it?" Paimon asked casually.
Xin Yang raised a finger and said, "One million Mora"
"Only one million Mora...wait, how much!" Paimon widened his eyes.
"One million," Xinyang repeated.
"Deal." Paimeng immediately held Xinyang's hand for fear that Xinyang would go back on her word, but Ying on the side was still thinking.
Seeing this, Paimeng quickly persuaded, "Ying, that's one million Mora, a full one million, what are you still hesitating about?"
Seeing Ying still unmoved, Xinyang took Linghua's hand and said, "This is a big deal. We should consider it seriously. It's getting late. The General Affairs Department has arranged accommodation for us. We'll leave first." Ignoring Paimeng's obstruction, Xinyang decisively left Chen Ge Hu.
