A moment later, the grapevine had borne fruit, plump purple berries that were absolutely beautiful.
Xia Ci casually picked one and put it in her mouth: "It's quite sweet. Come on, everyone, have some."
The girls exclaimed, "Amazing!"
Xia Ci laughed and said, "That's how our Grass-type God's Eye is."
Ying'er looked at Yao Yao and asked, "Can Yao Yao do this too?"
Yao Yao shook her head somewhat shyly: "Yao Yao can't do that yet..."
Xia Zhen glanced at her and silently ate her grapes.
Ha, Grass-type God's Eye is amazing, our Thunder-type God's Eye can even charge a phone.
Xia Zhi also tried two, and they were indeed very sweet.
Because there were so many people, one grapevine wasn't enough to feed them all.
Xia Ci picked a few leaves from other grapevine varieties and used the same method to encourage their growth so that everyone could taste them.
Based on everyone's opinions, the two best-tasting grape varieties were finally selected. Xia Ci picked two leaves and prepared to take them back to Chen Ge Hu's farm to plant, so that everyone could eat them whenever they wanted.
After a morning of sightseeing and having a great time, everyone returned to the hovercar and continued their journey.
The following afternoon, the car arrived at Diona's hometown, Clear Spring.
This is a very natural and simple town.
The small stone houses are scattered around, surrounded by tall and lush trees. There are wooden fences around the houses, and several wine barrels, wooden carts, and fire pits with cooking utensils hanging at the entrances.
The most eye-catching feature is a tall mill, its gray-white bricks bearing the marks of time, and the old cloth blades of the windmill turning slowly, constantly making a creaking sound.
Seeing the hovercar descend from the sky, the villagers of Qingquan Town also came out to watch the spectacle. Compared to the cautious attitude of the villagers of Qingce Village, they were obviously much bolder.
Perhaps it's also related to the free spirit in Mondstadt.
Diona stood at the entrance to the village, her face beaming: "I'm home!"
The villagers looked at her with some uncertainty on their faces: "You are...Little Diona?!"
Diona, hands on her hips, said, "I'm not a child anymore!"
That familiar voice, that familiar tone—it really is her.
The villagers all laughed.
Someone even joked, "Little Diona, how about I introduce you to a young man?"
"Never!"
"It seems that little Diona has definitely found someone she likes."
"This is none of your business! I told you not to call me Little Diona!"
Others also got out of their cars and felt a sense of warmth upon seeing the cheerful atmosphere.
"Little Diona, who are they?"
"They are my friends! They came to Qingquan Town for a visit!"
"Oh! Welcome everyone!"
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going home first."
Diona led everyone toward her home, introducing her family and the town as they walked.
Xia Zhi, Zhu Zi, and the others had actually met Diona's father, Duraf.
When Diona heard about the Liyue Rainbow Juice, she ran away from Cattail Bar without saying a word, leaving only a letter for the proprietress.
Worried about his daughter's safety, Dulaf traveled all the way to Liyue to check on her.
Although Diona disliked her father's drinking habit to the point of dreaming of destroying Mondstadt Winery, it must be said that Duraf was a loving father to his daughter, and Diona was also a loving daughter to her father.
When she got home, Diona knocked on the door.
"Dad! I'm home!"
There was no response from inside.
Diona turned her head and said, "He's probably out hunting and won't be back until later. I have the key, so let's all go inside and rest for a while!"
Everyone nodded and smiled, "Okay."
As Diona opened the door, she added, "My dad never goes hunting empty-handed. He'll definitely bring back some game later, and we can have roast meat tonight! The game is especially delicious this time of year!"
"Uh-huh!"
Wait until later.
Sure enough, Dulaf returned with several rabbits and a fawn.
He was very happy to see his daughter.
"Diona, you're back!"
"Well, I'm back."
Diona saw that her father was clearly happy, but he still had to pretend to be indifferent as he looked at the prey in his hand.
"Is that all you've hit?"
“There are still some left, which I gave away to others. After all, I can’t finish them all by myself. I didn’t expect you to come back and bring so many guests.”
Dulaf was somewhat annoyed.
"Fortunately, I smoked a lot of food during the winter, so it should be enough to eat."
Xia Zhi came out and greeted him: "Mr. Durave, it's been a long time."
Durav nodded quickly: "Mr. Xia, it's been a long time. Thank you for taking care of my daughter."
Xia Zhi laughed and said, "What do you mean by taking care of me? Diona has helped me a lot. If it weren't for her bartending, my shop wouldn't be doing so well."
Dulav laughed, "Well, I know Diona's personality. I can tell she's doing very well with you. I'm not worried about her food at all, after all, I've eaten Mr. Xia's cooking before... Look at her, she was so short last year, and now she's grown so much taller..."
"father!"
Diona blushed slightly.
"Stop talking and go process the prey, everyone's hungry!"
"Good good..."
Dulav shook his head and left with his prey, laughing.
My daughter has really grown up...
Chapter 428 The Rebirth of the Demonic Dragon (4K)
The setting sun casts its last rays, and a clear spring flows gently.
Dulaf was squatting by the water, processing the game he had caught that day with a knife.
As the best hunter in Clearspring Town, his methods are clean and efficient.
Diona walked up from behind, glanced at the hunting knife in his hand, and spoke with a hint of disdain.
"Dad, why are you still using this old knife?"
"Haha, it's a bit old, but I find it easy to use."
"The back of the blade is rusty!"
"It's alright, as long as the blade is sharp enough, you see, it's still very good at cutting meat."
"I don't think it works well anymore!"
"You kid..."
"for you!"
"what?"
Durov looked up and saw Diona handing him a brand new hunting knife.
He was startled.
"Is this... a gift for me?"
"I didn't buy it specifically for you; I just picked it up on a whim when I was shopping once!"
"Is it……"
Durave was well aware of his daughter's proud and stubborn personality.
He smiled as he took the hunting knife, drew it from its sheath, and saw a bright flash of light refract out.
"That's a nice knife. It must be very expensive."
"It wasn't too expensive, we negotiated the price!"
"You can even bargain now?"
"Xia Ci helped negotiate the price."
