Kiana: "OK!"

Kiana: "@Ling, Ling-mei! Time for a job!"

Ling: "!"

Ling, who was already dozing off in the video store, was instantly jolted awake upon hearing this!

What? Is it finally her turn to have scenes?

After carefully reading the contents of the chat group, Ling's face lit up with joy once again.

Great! It's Kiana's request. I guess I'll get a lot of good stuff this time!

Ling replied quickly.

Ling: "Fahtong Logistics, dedicated to serving you!"

Zhe: "???"

Zhe: "When did our family change careers?"

Ling: "Don't worry about that! Kiana! I'm coming right now!"

After saying that, Ling quickly went from the front desk into the hdd room and began to submerge her consciousness into Ies's body.

A few minutes later, a "time tunnel" opened beside Kiana, and Ies's petite and adorable figure instantly appeared next to Kiana.

"Kiana! I'm here!"

Ling, who was controlling Ies, put her hands on her hips and said very actively.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you."

Kiana bent down and gently stroked Ies's ear, then took out the purchased items from the imaginary space.

"This pile is for Xing, and this pile..."

Kiana looked at the extra servings of soda and soy milk she had bought, and her lips twitched again.

"If you like, you can take them all..."

"Wow! Really?! Thank you so much, Kiana!"

Upon hearing this, Ling happily tidied up the pile of "drinks," neatly carried them on her back, waved to Kiana, and left efficiently.

"A drink from another world must be amazing!"

Back in her room, Ling put down her soda and soy milk, and then crossed the dimensional rift once more, heading towards Teyvat...

Chapter 103 The Poisoning Case on Sixth Street

"Oh, you're here already, and you even brought things!"

As soon as Ling arrived at Xing's hotel, she heard Xing's very enthusiastic, yet somewhat familiar, welcome speech, and for a moment she was stunned.

Wasn't she... here to deliver something?

"Ah, sorry, I've been spending too much time with someone who likes to joke around lately, and I've unconsciously started using this local tradition."

Xing accepted the soy milk Ling handed her, smiled apologetically, and then handed the "delicious food" she had already packed to Ies.

"Paymon made this today! I thought it was pretty good, you should take some home and try it too!"

"Wow! Sister Xing is so enthusiastic! Then I won't be polite!"

Ling's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the lunchbox containing "Teyvat Cuisine".

She had heard about the amazing effects of Teyvat cuisine in the group chat a long time ago; it was even said to have the power to bring the dead back to life.

Ling wasn't expecting any of the miscellaneous health benefits; she was more curious about the taste of the food here.

But since Sister Xing said it's delicious, then it must be delicious!

"Then I'll go back first!"

"Ies" waved her little hand and skipped away from the hotel.

……

Inside the video store, Zhe looked at the pile of drinks Ling had brought back, as well as the food packed in lunch boxes, and was not surprised.

"Brother! Come and try this! This is otherworldly food that Sister Xing prepared for us!"

Ling, carrying a lunchbox, beckoned Zhe over, then opened the tightly wrapped lunchbox herself first…

A brightly colored dish caught the eye of the brother and sister.

The food in front of me looked like some kind of dessert, with two distinctly colored ingredients perfectly combined. Although I couldn't name it, I could feel a cool and refreshing sensation from the icy blue object.

The red color, however, felt completely opposite to the blue object. Perhaps it was just psychological? The intense red color actually added a touch of warmth to the cool feeling.

Wow...it looks really good!

"Brother, do you want to have the first bite?"

Ling blinked and looked at Zhe with a hint of anticipation.

"Hmm? In this situation, shouldn't you be the one to take the first bite?"

Upon hearing this, Zhe asked with some surprise.

"Hey, isn't this just the most basic concern a younger sister can show her older brother? Besides, you must have been really tired from all that training with that Section Chief Ya lately, right? This is just to reward you!"

Seeing Zhe's confusion, Ling promptly adopted the demeanor of a caring younger sister, though... in reality, she seemed to smell a tiny bit of chili and was a little hesitant to eat it...

Since that's the case... then we can only ask her good brother for help!

"Um... okay, I'll try it first."

Gazing at the brightly colored "dessert," Zhe subconsciously swallowed, then took a metal spoon from the cupboard, rinsed it briefly, and slowly scooped a spoonful into the dessert...

The moment the metal spoon touched the dessert, an unimaginable bouncy sensation traveled from the spoon to Zhe's hand, and at the same time, white frost began to gradually condense on the surface of the metal spoon.

Wow...it looks so fancy! Let's try it and see how it tastes!

Seeing this, Ling asked with great curiosity.

"Ah."

Zhe nodded, and then put the red and blue dessert into his mouth.

"!!"

Instantly, Zhe's eyes widened!

"Delicious!"

Zhe's voice trembled slightly as he almost subconsciously wanted another spoonful, but Ling intercepted him with lightning speed.

"Hehe, now that my brother has tried, it's my turn!"

Seeing Zhe's "amazed" expression, Ling's eyes lit up, and she quickly took a spoonful of the "dessert".

Put that bite in your mouth, and then...

"!!"

Icy! Cool! That's the first sensation upon entering the mouth, and at the same time, the aroma of mint and a refreshing sweetness instantly fill the entire oral cavity.

The cool, chewy texture, combined with the aroma of mint, instantly awakened Ling's taste buds.

then……

A spicy sensation, like a wildfire, swept wildly across her taste buds, which had been awakened by the coolness and mint! In an instant, the delicate oral cells lost contact with her brain. Amidst the stark contrast between ice and fire, Ling silently turned her head to look at Zhe, who was already sweating profusely from the spiciness.

"Hiss... Ha!!"

Seemingly due to the unspoken understanding between the siblings, there was no need for pretense. Zhe decisively reached for the "drink" that Ling had just brought back, and Ling quickly picked up a bottle of "drink" as well.

Without saying much, the two tilted their heads back and drank the beverage in one gulp!

then……

"Wait!!!" x2

……

"What...what happened to you...?"

Black Tower's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Xing in front of him. She was eating a bottle of soda soy milk one gulp at a time, along with Paimon's "world-shaking cuisine," and she was having a great time.

Her sensors would explode at the sight of these things, but... the star in front of her was actually enjoying them?

"Hiccup... Actually, it's not so bad. I used to be too scared to even drink Himeko's coffee, but after it all ended, I realized that occasionally stimulating my senses can be a pretty good experience!"

After finishing every last bit of food, Xing wiped her mouth and said earnestly.

When everything becomes meaningless, breathing and eating are irrelevant to survival, and perception and consciousness are swallowed up by the darkness that cannot be illuminated by light...

Even death is a luxury.

She stood there motionless for an unknown amount of time, simply because it held no "meaning".

But in the end, a ray of light pierced through the bottomless darkness, through the abyss that light could not reach!

The power called "Exploration" became the only meaning in that "nothingness" world, and amidst the "joy," she regained her five senses and embraced the reality called "Existence" once more.

From then on, she cherished everything in this world.

Even the "nothingness" itself.

"Well... have you considered that there don't seem to be many people who can accept your way of eating? For example, that little rabbit who came from the [chat group]?"

Black Tower shrugged and gave Xing a reminder.

She couldn't understand the communication logic of the chat group, but according to Xing, their chat group was like an abstract product created by someone who only knew how to copy and paste.

And that abstract thing seems to exist in a higher dimension...

"Hmm...hehe?"

Xing pondered for a moment, then smiled charmingly!

"..."

Do you think I would say those words?

Black Tower stared at Star Path with a blank expression.
