The next day.
Early morning.
Han Feng walked out of his room looking refreshed.
He stretched his body lazily, a satisfied expression on his face.
Bang!
At that moment, a door beside him opened.
Paimon floated out of her room, yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Boss Han, you're up so early today!"
Seeing Han Feng in the hallway, Paimon greeted him sluggishly.
"Morning, Paimon."
Han Feng smiled and nodded. Seeing her drowsy look, he teased:
"Did you stay up all night playing with your phone?"
Han Feng knew very well how much Paimon liked phones.
After getting one last night, she must have been extremely excited.
"That's not it! I stayed up for hours waiting for Lumine to come back."
Paimon yawned again.
Staying up late was really exhausting.
When she mentioned Lumine, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Han Feng suspiciously.
"Boss Han, Lumine went to your room last night. Why didn't she come back all night?"
"Cough… Well, she was watching the cat doing somersaults for too long, so she rested in my room."
Han Feng coughed lightly and replied.
"A cat doing somersaults?"
Paimon looked doubtful.
What kind of cat could do somersaults all night?
Something felt suspicious.
"I'm going to check."
"Lumine is very tired and resting right now. Don't disturb her."
Han Feng grabbed Paimon and said helplessly.
"Tired? Resting?"
Hearing those two words, Paimon froze.
Then she suddenly seemed to understand something and revealed a mischievous grin.
Now she finally got it.
The "cat" definitely didn't exist.
Boss Han had obviously succeeded.
"Hehe… looks like my plan has already succeeded ahead of schedule!"
Paimon thought happily.
From now on she could officially rely on Boss Han.
"Come on, let's go downstairs. Want a big breakfast?"
Han Feng ruffled Paimon's cheeks with a smile, quickly changing the topic.
Otherwise she would definitely keep digging.
"Of course!"
Hearing about food, Paimon immediately nodded.
Lumine's situation was instantly forgotten.
Food came first.
The two went downstairs to the dining table.
Using the Gourmet Tablecloth, Han Feng conjured a luxurious breakfast:
Fried dough sticksSoy milkPan-fried dumplingsDelicious preserved egg and pork congee
It looked extremely rich.
"Hehe! Paimon loves delicious food the most!"
She happily grabbed a fried dough stick and started eating.
It was still early, so Han Feng wasn't in a hurry to open the shop.
A relaxed breakfast like this felt nice.
Just then, Han Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Hm? Why is she here?"
"Boss Han, who's here?"
Paimon asked curiously.
It was still so early.
Could someone really be here for manga already?
That would be even more enthusiastic than her.
"Ningguang."
Han Feng smiled.
Just now he sensed that she tried to enter through the Liyue branch, but couldn't because the shop wasn't open yet.
"In that case, let's see what she wants."
Han Feng removed the restriction.
Soon after, Ningguang walked into the shop.
"Boss Han, I apologize for disturbing you so early."
She approached gracefully with a polite smile.
"You came to read manga this early?"
Han Feng asked curiously.
Was reading manga becoming this competitive now?
Coming at dawn?
"I didn't come to read manga today."
Ningguang shook her head slightly.
"I came to invite Boss Han to the Jade Chamber for a discussion."
"You're inviting Boss Han to the Jade Chamber?!"
Paimon's eyes widened.
This was the first time someone had done something like that.
"Indeed. And it won't delay Boss Han's business."
Ningguang said seriously.
That was precisely why she chose this early hour.
Otherwise she wouldn't disturb the shop during business hours.
She even almost contacted him via phone when she couldn't enter earlier.
"May I ask if Boss Han would be willing to honor the invitation?"
"If the Tianquan herself personally invites me, I should give some face."
Han Feng smiled.
Ningguang had invited him yesterday already.
He just didn't expect her to come this early.
"In that case, let us depart. I will guide the way."
Ningguang smiled gently.
Han Feng nodded without refusing.
Although he now had spatial movement abilities and could teleport directly to the Jade Chamber—
Since he had already personally visited Mondstadt before, it would be a pity not to see Liyue properly.
Just as he stood up, Han Feng remembered something and turned to Paimon.
"I'll leave the Gourmet Tablecloth with you for now. When Lumine wakes up, make whatever she wants to eat."
"Hehe, leave it to me!"
Paimon immediately guaranteed enthusiastically.
She had long wanted to use the Gourmet Tablecloth herself.
Now she finally had the chance.
Even if only for a short time, she was extremely excited.
As for going to the Jade Chamber with Boss Han?
No way.
Just looking at Ningguang made it obvious she only invited Boss Han alone.
Besides, with the Gourmet Tablecloth here—why go sightseeing when she could eat endless delicious food?
Seeing Paimon promise repeatedly, Han Feng nodded.
Paimon could be unreliable and shameless at times, but when it came to Lumine, she genuinely cared.
So he felt reassured.
"When I come back, if Lumine is satisfied, I'll give you something fun."
Han Feng ruffled Paimon's cheeks again.
"Something fun?"
Paimon's eyes lit up instantly.
Something from someone as amazing as Boss Han—it must be incredible.
She became extremely excited.
Yes!
She would definitely take perfect care of Lumine later.
Give her VIP treatment!
"You won't be disappointed. I'll show you when I return."
Han Feng smiled.
With the Four-Dimensional Pocket, he now had access to many incredible tools.
Each one had unique powers.
He didn't have time to experiment with all of them himself.
But letting Paimon play with them might lead to something interesting.
