"Female guest, one!"
Guoba, having promised Feng Yi that he would entertain the guests inside, loudly welcomed Yun Jin as she entered the Serenitea Pot.
"What a cute little bear!"
Seeing Guoba's dazed appearance, Yun Jin smiled and patted his large head.
Guoba: Woman, do you know whose head you're patting? This is the head of a god!
Hmph~ Can't get angry, or the top-tier ice cream will be gone!
"Guest, the hot springs are over there, please follow me~"
Guoba tried his best to act as a waiter, all for the sake of the top-tier ice cream Feng Yi had promised him.
"A talking little bear, how interesting!"
Yun Jin pursed her lips and gave Guoba some of the pastries in her hand.
"Such delicious pastries!"
Guoba's eyes lit up, and he instantly forgot about Yun Jin patting his head earlier. He took the pastries and ate them happily.
"I baked these myself. If you like them, please eat more!"
Hearing the praise, Yun Jin happily shared more with Guoba.
"The women's bathhouse is just ahead. I can only escort you this far. If you need anything, you can call me anytime. Oh, and my name is Guoba!"
Guoba pointed ahead and waved goodbye to Yun Jin, then returned to the entrance to wait for the next guest.
"Thank you, Guoba!"
Yun Jin looked at Guoba's busy retreating figure and chuckled. He was so enthusiastic!
Yun Jin entered the building of the women's bathhouse, changed her clothes in the dressing room, and moved to the hot spring. Inside, she saw Yuan Bao and Hu Tao soaking, along with two guests she didn't recognize.
"Yun Jin, Yun Jin, come down and join us!"
Seeing Yun Jin arrive, Hu Tao splashed water and happily invited her to join.
"Hello, Hu Tao and Yuan Bao. And these two are..."
Yun Jin untied her towel and stepped into the hot spring, sitting down next to Hu Tao.
The water temperature was just right, eliciting a comfortable hum from Yun Jin.
"My name is Shen He. I'm staying in the Serenitea Pot. Nice to meet you..."
"My name is Qiqi. I also live in the Serenitea Pot. Ah... what else should I say, I don't remember!"
"I'm Yun Jin, the proprietress of the Yun-Han Troupe. If you have time, you can come to the Heyu Tea House to listen to opera..."
The three introduced themselves and got to know each other.
"Yun Jin, you're not much older than me, so why is this so much bigger than mine?! Is there a secret? Hurry up and tell me!"
Hu Tao looked enviously at the two "slime" lumps in front of Yun Jin. Why was there such a difference in size for such a small age gap?!
Hu Tao was indignant. Yun Jin must have a secret she was hiding. She desperately wanted to escape her flat-chested state.
"Read more books, read more newspapers, eat fewer snacks, and sleep more!"
How would Yun Jin know the secret Hu Tao was talking about? She had just developed normally.
Hu Tao's intense gaze made Yun Jin a little nervous, so she quickly brushed it off.
"That's it? I don't believe you. You must be hiding something from me. Let me see..."
Hu Tao suddenly stood up, extended her mischievous hands, and pounced on Yun Jin with a wicked grin.
Shen He, standing nearby, moved away with a sigh. Hu Tao's splashing was indeed a bit too much.
Shen He looked at the white "slime" floating on the water and revealed a satisfied smile. Feng Yi really liked to eat them...
Aside from the three of them, Yuan Bao was teaching Qiqi how to dive.
"Qiqi... glug glug... diving is... glug glug... like this!"
Yuan Bao squatted in the water, bubbles rising. Qiqi looked at him speechlessly.
Yuan Bao was no ordinary person, able to speak and teach underwater while diving.
Qiqi, lacking Yuan Bao's special ability, crouched in the water, afraid to speak, fearing she would swallow too much water if she opened her mouth.
................
Meanwhile, Feng Yi was sitting on a stool, occasionally picking up a pastry left by Yun Jin, tasting it, taking a sip of clear tea, and basking in the gentle sunlight. Life was incredibly comfortable!
"Zhongli, you're here so early?"
Feng Yi saw Zhongli approaching from a distance and smiled, pouring him a cup of clear tea.
"Phew~ After arranging matters at the border, I rushed over..."
Zhongli blew away the foam on the tea and took a sip, then nodded.
"There are still a few guests who haven't arrived. I have to wait here a bit longer. Why don't you go and relax in the hot springs in the Serenitea Pot first..."
After Zhongli finished his tea, Feng Yi suggested it.
Last night, he had taken Hu Tao away and handed over the remaining work to Zhongli. The other party had worked all night until now. Out of concern, Feng Yi suggested that Zhongli take a bath to relieve some fatigue.
"Agreed. I'll head over then... Oh, and here's a small gift for you. I took care of it incidentally last night when I suppressed a rampaging god..."
Zhongli tossed Feng Yi a giant snake gall, which was even larger than Ba Qian's.
Last night, he had gone underground to catch up with an old "friend," Chi.
However, Chi insisted on sparring with him, and Zhongli happily agreed.
As he was leaving, Chi insisted on "giving" him this snake gall, otherwise, he wouldn't let Zhongli leave.
Faced with Chi's generosity, Zhongli couldn't refuse and had to "reluctantly" accept.
Chi: Go to hell with your generosity, you accursed Morax! You fought me with every blow aimed at my face, and then you stole my snake gall as you left! This is the result of my hundreds of years of cultivation!
I curse you to never be able to poop again...
"This is too precious, how can I accept it! How about this, I'll pay for all your expenses at the Heyu Tea House this month!"
Feng Yi, with lightning speed, put the giant snake gall into the Serenitea Pot and said to Zhongli.
Mouth: I said I didn't want it! Where's my hand? Hurry up and put it away!
"It's a deal!"
Zhongli: You said it yourself! I didn't force you!
Zhongli had long coveted the collection of famous teas from various countries in the Heyu Tea House, but he had been short on funds. Now, with Feng Yi's promise, he could finally drink his fill tomorrow!
In an instant, Zhongli's mood improved greatly, and he felt that his long-standing weariness seemed to have lessened.
As expected, he knew he hadn't misjudged the person!
Feng Yi: A month's worth of tea how much Mora is that worth? Trading it for a god's snake gall, this is a huge profit!
Zhongli: A god's snake gall? If you want one, just go to the place of sealing! To me, it's not worth as much as a single Mora.
Exchanging a mere god's organ for a month of free tea, this is a huge profit!
Since god's organs could be used like this, Zhongli suddenly had an immature little idea.
Besides the treasured teas at the Heyu Tea House, he had also been eyeing the treasured teas at other tea houses for a long time...
The sealed god: Don't come near me!
