Y/N POV

Zhongli started talking about the Noctilucous Jade as if he was writing some soft of poem, I'm sure venti would love to hear this. We want back to the vendor and he went hesitant at first when it comes to burning the jades and of course he gave us three but even thinner than paper itself, but it's honest work.

And then zhongli interrupts us again, I can't focus on what he's saying if he's voice is perfect for asmr wth. Paimon suggested that we should try burning what now? Fck i got lost in thought, at first she thinks of Wanmin Restaurant but zhongli said it would be a bad idea and decided to go to Meaty tribe's giant cooking pot.

While walking through the grassy field, zhongli mentioned that it's been along time he went here and that a certain friend would always bring him Dandelion wine whenever he visits. "Hmm, sounds familiar. Don't you think?" I whispered at aether and he lowly chuckled. "Paimon wonders what that tone-deaf bard is doing now..." paimom murmured near to my ear.

We spot the huge pot filled with steaming water, "That pot is fit to cook Paimon in." Aether giggled. "Y/N, help! Aether is bullying me again!" Paimon pouted and i can hear Zhongli merely chuckle. "Aether, you can continue the teasing later; this is so embarrassing..." I faintly blushed, gosh why can't these two stop acting like kindergarten kids infront of another person. I feel like a mother lecturing it's children...

"*chuckle* You and your travelling companions have indeed a strong bond of friendship. Now then..." He cleared his throat as we approached the hugeass pot. "There's still soup in here! These hilichurls sure have big appetites!" She huffed and told us that the steaming soup or whatever you call it is fixed for cleaning the ore...

"Aether it's your turn to shiny up the ores!" She put her hands on her hips. I put the ores on the pot and turned back to them. "Well i guess it can't be helped" he sighed and started, while doing it a bunch of hilichurls approached us. "I'll take care of them while you clean the ores" i drawed out my sword and started beating the shit out of them.

After all of the shits were knocked out, i went back and saw that it was clean and shinier; the light is so blinding. "Great job you two! Now, all we need is to go back to Liyue Harbor and buy some jade!" Paimon clapped her hands together. "It's almost dusk, i assume it's about 3 PM at this point." Zhongli crossed his arms.

We head back to the place and the vendor greeted us, saying that he keept the goods for us. Aether said that we'd like the third Noctilucous Jade. The vendor asked us why we need such high quality of the ore itself and zhongli told him were doing it for the Rite of Parting, the vendor became sentimental and sold us half the price of it's original one.

"Hey! We can't leave yet without paying!" Paimon glanced at Zhongli. "Oh right, i must've forgotten. Let me see.."he started searching for his wallet. "...As i thought, i didn't bring any" he sighed. I swear is he too rich to even think about it?

"Any what?" Paimon asked. "Mora...my apologies" Zhongli scratched his head a little. "Oh don't worry, me and aether can put our mora together so that we can pay off" i grabbed out my wallet and aether did too, we handed the money to the vendor. "Since we have everything done, let's head to Yujing Terrace where the rite will be held"
