When Su Yuan and his group arrived at Wanmin Restaurant, it was still packed with custors, business booming as usual.
The "Xiangling" who was serving guests seed to notice their arrival and quickly ran out to greet them.
"Oh my, hello everyone! Long ti no see! Are you here to eat?"
"Xiangling" greeted them with a cheerful smile, speaking enthusiastically:
"Although the restaurant is already full, you're my good friends and honored guests—I've saved a special table just for you. Co with !"
"No need, Xiangling. We're not here to eat..."
As Su Yuan spoke, he handed over the dish that had been prepared using the chanical cooking device built by Cloud Retainer.
"We used so special ingredients to make a brand-new dish and wanted you to try it and give us your opinion."
Su Yuan looked at Xiangling with so nervousness.
If she was willing to eat it, that would be perfect...
But if she refused, they'd have to co up with another plan.
"Special ingredients? A brand-new dish?"
Upon hearing this, "Xiangling" seed to light up with excitent.
She imdiately took the dish from Su Yuan's hands and, without hesitation, began to eat...
Su Yuan hadn't expected things to go this smoothly...
Next, all they had to do was wait for the effects of the dicine to kick in.
"Xiangling" would start vomiting and having diarrhea, and might be able to recover from her Eerie state!
"It has a very unique flavor..."
After tasting it, "Xiangling" comnted like this.
But soon, her stomach began to gurgle...
"Excuse for a mont..."
"Xiangling" showed a slightly apologetic expression and then hurried off, holding her stomach...
Everyone could hardly believe it.
Could things really have gone this smoothly?
After "Xiangling" entered the restroom, the group quietly followed and waited outside the door, trying to listen for any sounds coming from within...
Although this kind of behavior might seem a bit perverse, it was a necessary asure under the circumstances...
"It seems the dicine is indeed taking effect. Xiangling is definitely vomiting and having diarrhea..." Yelan said.
After a while, Xiangling pushed the door open and stepped out of the restroom.
Su Yuan imdiately approached her and tentatively asked, "Xiangling?"
But at that mont, Xiangling's expression was a bit gloomy, and there was sothing off about her deanor.
She slowly spoke:
"I thought... you sincerely wanted to try a brand-new dish..."
"At first, I thought I just had an upset stomach from eating too much, but now it's clear—you drugged the food, didn't you?"
"You made waste all that delicious food I ate..."
"Unforgivable!!!"
In the next instant, a surge of eerie power erupted from "Xiangling's" body.
Her fingers suddenly transford into sharp claws, wreathed in a strange aura, and she lunged toward the nearest person—Su Yuan!
Faced with this sudden developnt, Su Yuan was completely baffled...
Why was this happening...?
Even "Xiangling" herself said the food she ate was all wasted—so why hadn't she exited the Eerie state?
"Su Yuan, haven't you realized it yet?"
At that mont, Lumine's voice sounded beside Su Yuan's ear...
Then, Lumine drew her sword and intercepted "Xiangling's" attack in his place!
"If Xiangling's condition for becoming eerie was, as you guessed, eating sothing she had never eaten before..."
"Then shouldn't the many dicinal ingredients that Baizhu prepared for her also count among those?"
Lumine's words made everyone suddenly co to a realization...
Although the effects of the dicine did cause Xiangling to expel most of the food she had eaten earlier...
But so of the dicinal ingredients still remained in her body, not completely purged...
Seeing her attack blocked, "Xiangling" looked a bit annoyed, but when she sensed the unfathomable Abyssal power emanating from Lumine, she knew Lumine wasn't soone to be trifled with...
"I can feel it... there's an incredibly strong power within you..."
"Xiangling" looked at Lumine and spoke:
"With a power like yours, why would you choose to stand with the weak?"
"Even though you're not one of us, that doesn't matter..."
"Let's wipe them all out—take all the dicinal ingredients for ourselves!"
dicinal ingredients?
Hearing what "Xiangling" said, Su Yuan started to piece sothing together...
Xiangling had just eaten a large quantity of dicinal ingredients, and now she was craving them—wanting more.
That ans... if the current "Xiangling" is chasing after dicine, then before, when she was constantly eating people, it really did an she had fallen into an eerie state because she consud human flesh...
"Su Yuan, what would you do next, if it were up to you?" Lumine turned and asked Su Yuan.
Su Yuan was a little surprised.
He hadn't expected Lumine to actually start listening to him so directly.
That strange, cryptic question earlier—what did it really an?
But now that he had soone as powerful as Lumine at his side, he needed to make good use of her...
"Lumine, since most of the food in Xiangling's body has already been expelled, and only a bit of residual dicinal effect remains..."
"Then fight her—but without harming her!"
"Make her sweat it out—get all the remaining dicinal effects out of her system. That should be enough to bring her back to normal!"
"Got it." Lumine nodded.
Then, she began to fight "Xiangling"...
As expected, with the Abyssal power under her control, Lumine steadily overpowered the eerie "Xiangling."
anwhile, Su Yuan noticed that Xianyun seed to be forming hand seals, setting sothing up in the surroundings...
"Xianyun, what are you doing...?"
"Just using so immortal arts to set up an illusion barrier," Xianyun replied.
"This way, the ordinary people outside won't know what's happening here."
"After all, sothing like the eerie—it's better the general public doesn't know about it..."
Su Yuan recalled what Mada Ping had said before—that there was a traitor among the Adeptus...
That traitor had placed an illusion barrier between Liyue Harbor and Guyun Stone Forest...
And now, Xianyun was also setting up an illusion barrier...
Thinking back to her earlier suspicious behavior, could the traitor really be Xianyun?
But then again, isn't she being a bit too obvious?
Still, it's true—so of the eerie ones just aren't good at hiding...
And Xianyun... really does have that kind of personality.
"Ahhh... What's going on right now?"
At that mont, Xiangling suddenly cried out:
"Guoba... What happened to Guoba?!"
Su Yuan turned his head—Lumine's sword was paused right between Xiangling's brows...
And finally, Xiangling had returned to normal.
