"This... isn't this a bit much?" Xavier said, but he unceremoniously pulled over a stool.
He took a new spoon, tasted a bite, and Xavier found the flavor was indeed excellent.
Although it wasn't like the food on Blue Star, with its rich layers of texture,
it possessed the natural freshness of the ingredients, a level that many chefs on Blue Star couldn't achieve.
"Hmm? Who is this young man? He looks unfamiliar." Yan Xiao, who was nearby, was a bit surprised, not expecting someone to be able to sit at the same table as the Vanquisher of Evil.
Xavier gave a thumbs up and praised the other party: "Hello, Chef Yan, I'm Xavier from Blue Star, your dishes are really delicious!"
"Uh... if you like it, that's good." Yan Xiao felt the other party was a bit strange, so he stopped bothering with him and returned to the kitchen.
After taking two bites, Xiao asked, "Xavier, do you have similar food on Blue Star?"
Xavier answered without hesitation, "Of course! And there are many foods made with tofu, a whole bunch of delicious ones!"
"A bunch?" Xiao frowned, completely unable to understand this unfamiliar term.
"Hmm... it means 'extremely delicious'." Xavier finished the last bite of Almond Tofu.
Although843 Xiao's face was expressionless, a hint of dissatisfaction could be seen deep in his eyes.
I invited you to eat, and you even ate the last bite!
"Senior, I didn't expect you to really be here!" At this moment, Ganyu and the two others walked in.
Seeing Xiao, Ganyu immediately greeted him.
Although they were similar in age, in terms of combat ability, Xiao was much stronger than Ganyu.
So, Ganyu always addressed the Vanquisher of Evil as 'Senior'.
"Greetings, Vanquisher of Evil." Keqing and Ningguang bowed slightly, expressing their respect.
"No need for formalities." Xiao, sparing his words, stood up and said, "Since the important matter is concluded, then I'll trouble Xavier to take me to Blue Star."
Keqing and the two others exchanged glances; so Xavier was here to invite Xiao to be a guest on Blue Star.
Xavier nodded, then turned to look at the three: "Ningguang, Keqing, Ganyu, do you want to go?"
"Eh, we can go too?" Ganyu was very surprised.
Xavier generously said, "Of course you can. If Hu Tao and Zhongli can go, why can't you?"
"That would be excellent." Ningguang said immediately, "Being able to personally travel to Blue Star is clearly more beneficial than simply acquiring items from Blue Star."
Keqing also agreed, "I think so too. I'm sure many systems there are worth learning from."
"Um... could I trouble you with something?" Xavier suddenly became hesitant, looking a bit embarrassed.
Ningguang, on the other hand, showed a look of understanding, saying, "As expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
She was a businesswoman; of course, she didn't believe in risk-free, high-profit ventures.
Whatever the matter, there must be a contract involved, whether the things exchanged were tangible or not.
"Ahem, actually, it's nothing too troublesome. It's just... could I ask you to help me dance?"
Xavier's face held a hint of awkwardness as he rubbed his hands.
"Dance?" Even Xiao found it a bit hard to understand.
Keqing mused, stroking her chin, "If it's just dancing, it doesn't seem like much."
"But we're not very good at dancing, and if there are many people, we'll definitely be very nervous."
Ganyu put her hands on her chest, feeling a bit scared just thinking about such a scene.
"No, no, the dance you perform will be saved like the video you just watched, but it will be seen by netizens on Blue Star."
"I'm like a director; I need to continuously produce works..." Xavier explained in detail, and only then did the three fully understand.
"If it can make Liyue more prosperous, a mere dance, I think there's no harm in it." Ningguang was the first to accept this condition.
Of course, this was just Ningguang's opinion.
After all, even if they didn't want to dance, Xavier wouldn't possibly refuse to invite them.
"Since Ningguang said so, then... I guess I'll have to agree too." With someone taking the lead, Ganyu also chose to compromise.
"Alright, dancing and sword dancing shouldn't be any different, I agree too." Keqing was the last to agree.
But hearing Keqing say this, Xavier's eyes lit up, and he had an even better idea.
"Sword dancing is also fine!" After all, Keqing's 'butt-skewering' sword technique was a classic among classics; surely everyone would love it?
Xavier was very happy, thinking that he hadn't come in vain this time.
Just then, Xiao leisurely said, "What about me?"
"You?" Xavier was startled.
Xiao crossed his arms and said calmly, "According to the Geo Archon, all matters in the world are bound by a contract. You invite me to Blue Star, and I think I should also provide an equivalent return."
As expected of a child raised by Zhongli since he was young, his thoughts were truly close to his old father's.
Xavier thought for a moment and then said, "I haven't thought of anything yet; let's talk about it later."
This surprised Xiao a bit; he had thought Xavier would set some conditions right then and there.
Or perhaps this guy in front of him was actually
Ganyu saw Xavier take out his phone and whispered, "Um, are we going to film here?"
"Of course not!" Xavier immediately said, "We must find a very distinctive place, and if conditions allow, finding two more is also fine."
"Distinctive?" Keqing guessed, "Are you talking about places with Liyue characteristics?"
"As expected of Keqing, so smart!" Xavier snapped his fingers.
Keqing pursed her lips, a slight expression of smugness appearing on her face.
Ningguang suggested, "In that case, how about we go to my Jade Chamber first?"
"Great!" Xavier clapped his hands and said, "The Jade Chamber is practically one of Liyue's symbols!"
"Then I'll head to the Jade Chamber first and wait for you all."
Xiao hadn't even finished speaking when he vanished from Wangshu Inn.
"As expected of the Vanquisher of Evil, truly an existence that comes and goes without a trace." Keqing couldn't help but feel envious.
Immortals were immortals after all; this was a level they, as ordinary people, could not reach.
"Does Keqing also want to fly?" Xavier asked with a smile.
"Of course." Keqing nodded, then shook her head, "Please don't call me Keqing anymore, just Keqing is fine."
Only then did Xavier realize he seemed to have been calling her Keqing all along. Strange, had his peculiar attribute been triggered?
"Ahem, let's go, we need to keep up with Xiao."
As soon as Xavier's words fell, Keqing felt her body floating in mid-air.
Her eyes lit up, and she realized this was Xavier's ability!
