Chapter 281 Don't just eat rice, eat some vegetables too.
Bai Mu grabbed Naxida by the back of her neck and placed her at eye level.
"Call Dad."
"not called."
Naxi Da turned her head to the side.
She didn't have any objections to Bai Mu; she was just a little unaccustomed to the sudden change in Bai Mu's identity.
It would be hard for anyone to accept if someone who was a friend and elder suddenly became a father.
"Do you want to scream?"
Bai Mu was holding Naxi Da by the back of her neck, as if to say, "I won't put you down unless you call me."
"what is it call?"
Nasita asked, seemingly in a compromising manner.
"dad."
Shiraki reminded.
"Oh, my good son."
Naxida reached out her little hand and smiled as she stroked Bai Mu's forehead.
Her arms were too short; they could only reach her forehead.
"Here, my wife, this is your dear Naxi Dama."
Bai Mu's lips curled up slightly. He wasn't angry, but he emphasized the words "wife" and "Naxi Da's mother" a little more in his sentence.
After handing Nasita over to the Great Tree King beside him, Shiroki quietly watched how Nasita and her "new daughter" would get along.
However, the scene of the Great Tree King ravaging Naxida that Shiraki had imagined did not unfold. On the contrary, the Great Tree King even praised Naxida with great appreciation.
"The little one has such a sweet voice, she's definitely my daughter."
Hearing the Great Tree King's praise, Nasita snuggled against him with a look of enjoyment, while giving Bai Mu a provocative look.
...
"Zhongli, why are you guys dawdling like this?"
Just when everyone was getting impatient, Zhongli and Guizhong finally arrived late.
Their entrance was quite captivating.
Gui Zhong held Zhong Li's hand, his face beaming with happiness. It would have been even better if one could have ignored Zhong Li's stiff movements.
"I apologize, everyone. Zhongli is feeling a bit stiff for some reason, which is why we are a little late."
Gui Zhong revealed an apologetic expression and explained the reason to the crowd outside.
After she finished speaking, she faced Zhongli and pointed directly to the location of the white tree and the Great Compassion Tree King.
"Look at them, and then look at yourself. What's there to be embarrassed about?"
Shiraki:?
Great Compassion Tree King: ?
"Now that everyone is here, let's sit down and eat. I'm starving."
Shiraki urged everyone on and took the first sip of his drink.
However, he only took a sip of his drink and didn't touch any of the food on the table.
After Shiraki spoke, Kage was the first to pick up his chopsticks, take a piece of meat, and put it in his mouth.
As she chewed, Ying nodded slightly.
Shiraki remembered that Kage had a resistance to his cooking, so he felt that Kage's expression was not very informative.
Then Shiraki turned his gaze to the other people.
Who cooked this meal?
Wendy's expression suddenly changed, turning pale and then red. Seeing this, Bai Mu was already planning to inform Hu Tao on his behalf.
"I."
Ying spoke with an expectant look on her face.
"Isn't it delicious?"
"Gudong."
Wendy forced herself to swallow the food in her mouth and tried her best to control her facial expressions, finally managing not to lose her composure.
"It's...not bad."
After swallowing the food, Wendy felt as if she had just walked through the line between life and death.
Just now, it was even more dangerous than the battle with the Lone King of the Tower.
Seeing this, Shiraki, who was keeping a close eye on the situation, exchanged a glance with the Great Tree King, and the two of them shook their heads almost imperceptibly at the same time.
The room suddenly fell silent; apart from Ying, no one dared to touch their chopsticks.
Even the robust Dragon King Ruotu, after taking a large bite of stir-fried meat, turned pale and withdrew his outstretched hand, only daring to pick at the rice in his own bowl.
Fortunately, the rice was steamed by Master Mao, and Ying did not interfere.
"I plan to go back to Inazuma tomorrow."
Just as everyone was silent, Ying suddenly spoke.
"Going back so early? Aren't you going to stay a few more days?"
Bai Mu spoke in surprise.
But then he thought about it again and understood why.
"No, I need to go back and prepare in advance."
"Okay, leave tomorrow at noon. I'll see you off."
"I'll come help you once I'm done with things in Sumeru."
After Shiraki and Kage finished discussing tomorrow's schedule, Wendy also spoke up:
"Brother Bai, Grandpa, I'm going back tomorrow too."
"Are you going back too?"
"Isn't Liyue good enough?"
Shiraki was genuinely surprised this time.
After Venti arrived in Liyue, he had an unlimited supply of drinks.
Even now, he has never stopped drinking alcohol.
For Venti, Liyue was like a haven of comfort, and Shiraki couldn't understand why Venti would want to go back.
"Sigh, it's precisely because Liyue is so wonderful that I'm going back."
Wendy sighed with a touch of melancholy.
"Since I came to Liyue, I've never run out of drinks. This is a kind of happiness I've never experienced in Mondstadt."
"Although this is a happy place, I'm afraid if I stay here too long, I won't want to go back to Mondstadt."
"After all, I am a god of Mondstadt, and it is impossible for me to stay in Liyue for a long time without going back."
Wendy's explanation, shaking her head.
He was afraid that he would become so engrossed in Liyue that he would neglect Mondstadt.
Although the possibility is small, it is still something we cannot ignore.
"Okay, then I'll give you a ride tomorrow too."
Shiraki shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, then looked at Kage.
"When you go back, do you want to take your people back with you?"
The people Shiraki referred to were Ayato and his group.
He remembered that when he brought Ayato Kamisato to Liyue, he said that he also had friends in Inazuma in Liyue, and that they could go back together.
Now that his friend Inazuma is going back, I wonder if Ayato Kamisato will leave so soon.
"No need, they need to stay here to develop the market for Inazuma, so they won't be leaving until later."
Ying shook his head.
In the morning, Ayato Kamisato came to Kage to ask for instructions. He told Kage that he wanted to stay here and develop the market.
Shadow agreed with this, as it meant she would be able to enjoy Liyue's food and snacks in Inazuma.
Furthermore, after learning that Ayato Kamisato was going to stay in Liyue for research, Kage promised to take care of the Kamisato family for him, but he had to return before Shiraki came to Inazuma.
Ayato Kamisato naturally wouldn't object to Kage's request, nor did he have any reason to object; it seemed to be entirely beneficial to him.
"Huh? Why are you only eating rice and not vegetables?"
Suddenly, Ying noticed something unusual at the dinner table.
"Don't just eat rice, eat some vegetables too."
"Haha."
Bai Mu chuckled and picked up the bowl, showing its contents to Ying.
"I'm researching a new way to eat rice: soaking it in a beverage. It's delicious."
