Makoto looked at Li Sinan and said softly, "Perhaps someone can help us find the dragon-quelling stone. Why don't we go and see?"
"I reckon he should be at the teahouse listening to stories right now."
Makoto wasn't sure where Morax was at the moment.
After all, that old Sixth is like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. Meeting him is entirely up to fate.
They could only try their luck at the teahouse.
Upon hearing that there was hope of finding the dragon-quelling stone, Li Sinan's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Yes, Big Brother, without further ado, let's go now!"
Seeing that Makoto was about to leave, the three Little Cuties immediately put down their fishing rods and stood up.
Then, their bright, clear eyes stared directly at Makoto.
As long as Makoto left,
they would follow without hesitation.
In the eyes of the three Little One, Makoto was their everything.
No matter where Makoto went, they would follow.
Makoto saw this and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Facing these three cute and clingy Little One, he naturally couldn't bear to refuse.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the teahouse for tea."
Upon hearing about going to the teahouse for tea, all three Little One were overjoyed.
Ningguang liked the tea at the teahouse; it tasted good.
As for Qiqi, he liked listening to the storytelling at the teahouse.
As long as the storyteller kept talking, he could sit there and listen.
As for Beidou,
she had never been to a teahouse, only occasionally heard people talk about it, saying that the teahouse was a very interesting place.
Over time, she was also full of curiosity and longing for the teahouse.
Makoto looked at Ganyu and Yae Miko again: "Ladies, would you like to come for tea together?"
Ganyu heard this and shook her head gently with regret: "Mr. Faxun, I'm very sorry, I still have a lot of work to finish today,"
"So, I probably can't go to the teahouse."
Ganyu seemed afraid that Makoto would be disappointed, so she hastily added a sentence.
"However, if there's a chance in the future, I'd still be very happy to have tea with Mr. Faxun."
After saying this, Ganyu immediately lowered her head, not daring to look into Makoto's eyes.
A blush rose on her pretty face, and her eyes were filled with nervousness and shyness.
Looking at the adorable Ganyu, Makoto nodded gently: "Then we'll wait for a chance in the future to have tea with Miss Ganyu."
Yae Miko, who was beside them, couldn't help but tease, "Oh my, oh my, Mr. Faxun might not understand Gan Yu's meaning. I'll translate for her."
"She means she wants to have tea with you, but only with you alone, to have a world for two. I've explained it clearly, haven't I?"
"This sister of mine, she clearly has the idea of getting close to Mr. Faxun in her heart, but she's just too embarrassed to say it directly, so she can only let me be the translator."
Yae Miko shrugged, looking reluctant.
Ganyu's pretty face grew even redder, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
"I, I still have work, I'll take my leave first."
Ganyu looked up at Makoto, said this in a panic, and then, like a startled deer, fled in a hurry.
Looking at Ganyu's retreating figure, Makoto couldn't help but laugh.
Ganyu was the kind of person who expressed her feelings subtly and indirectly.
Unlike Yae Miko, who was direct and blunt.
That's why Ganyu was so embarrassed and fled.
Makoto looked at Yae Miko and then slowly asked, "Miss Yae, what about you? Do you want to come to the teahouse with us?"
Yae Miko looked at the three Little Cuties, and then at Makoto.
"Let's not, there are too many of these Little One around, it more or less affects my performance."
"I don't want to lead them astray, otherwise I'm afraid Mr. Faxun's body won't be able to handle it."
Yae Miko covered her mouth and chuckled, her voice charming and seductive.
"However, if one day Mr. Faxun invites me for tea alone, perhaps I might agree."
"At that time, I can tell Mr. Faxun that tea, besides being for drinking, has other uses,"
"For example, washing feet?"
"Alright, alright, I'm going to continue fishing. I absolutely cannot go back empty-handed, that would be too embarrassing."
Yae Miko subtly declined Makoto's invitation.
The three little girls tilted their heads, looking utterly confused.
Ningguang blinked her big eyes, asking curiously, "Brother Makoto, isn't tea for drinking?"
"Why did Sister Yae say tea is for washing feet? It feels so wasteful."
Makoto was also afraid of leading the children astray, so he quickly made up a lie: "Because your Sister Yae wears black stockings, and the reinforced toes lock in the sour smell."
"You must soak your feet in tea leaves to remove the sour smell."
Indeed, Yae Miko should not be allowed to stay with the Little Cuties.
She could really lead them astray in a matter of minutes.
Makoto also didn't let the three Little One think further, leading them and Li Sinan towards the teahouse.
...
Liyue,
Tian Tiezui Teahouse.
Tian Tiezui, dressed in a traditional jacket and gown, holding a folding fan, was now on the high platform, passionately storytelling.
"As our Liyue's guardian, how could Rock God tolerate the Gods causing chaos?"
"He merely displayed his divine power, suppressing those Gods who stirred up rivers and seas, which led to Liyue's current prosperity and peace."
As soon as they arrived at the teahouse, Xiao Qiqi was drawn to the story.
Beidou also found the bustling teahouse, filled with distinguished guests, very novel.
As for Ningguang, she quickly found a staff member and skillfully asked them to arrange a tea table.
Li Sinan was also listening to storytelling for the first time and found it quite interesting.
He heard the term 'Dragon King' and felt it was somewhat familiar.
And the stories Tian Tiezui told,
Although it was his first time listening to storytelling, he didn't know why he felt these stories were somewhat familiar.
Had he heard them somewhere before?
He couldn't remember.
As for Makoto, he was trying hard to find Morax in the crowd.
Finally, he found that old Sixth, Morax, at the front viewing stand.
Didn't he say he wasn't interested in his stories?
Why was he listening with such relish?
Morax also noticed someone approaching. He looked up at Makoto and his group, then slowly said, "Old friend, long time no see."
"Do you... have Mora?"
Makoto: "..."
That old Sixth, Morax, actually treated him as a mobile wallet!
Makoto was truly delighted by this.
"Mr. Morax, this round of tea is on me."
"I came to see you this time because I need your help with something."
"I am looking for a dragon-quelling stone. Can you help me find one?"
Morax had been holding his teacup, calmly taking a sip.
However, when he heard the words 'dragon-quelling stone', he put down his teacup again.
"Generally speaking, dragon-quelling stone became extinct centuries ago. The dragon-quelling stone on the market today is merely a drop in the ocean."
Morax paused, then changed the subject: "However, I do know the location of a dragon-quelling stone."
"How about this, after we finish our tea, I'll take you there."
