Genshin Impact: I’m really not a daddy

"…never mind."

After standing there for a while, Bai Chu shook his head.

What can you do if you encounter such an unfortunate thing?

He hasn't been back for many years... Even if there are any changes, they are normal.

"Since we can't find them, let's go see her first."

Anyway, he has a lot of time, so there is no need to rush.

……

In the sea of ​​flowers that no one has set foot on for many years, more than 20 years later, someone came here again.

But, it's still the same person.

"It's still as beautiful as ever."

Bai Chu walked in the sea of ​​flowers, his face was dull, and he looked at the sea of ​​flowers with some nostalgia.

He had been here once before leaving, but he had not been here for more than twenty years. But despite this, this sea of ​​flowers is still in full bloom and has not withered like it did thousands of years ago.

Even more brilliantly blooming.

In the sea of ​​flowers, Bai Chu also saw flower seeds that he had never seen before.

As time goes by, things that seem unchanged have also changed.

Bai Chu walked to the middle of the sea of ​​flowers.

He squatted down, gently touched the stone tablet whose words could no longer be read clearly, and pursed his lips.

Then he smiled slightly.

"I am back."

In the face of time, even hard rocks will still be eroded.

His memory was as blurry as the words on the stone tablet.

Ever since he dreamed about Hu Tao while holding her while sleeping in Hu Zhai Palace's body when he first met her, he has never dreamed about it again until now.

I can’t remember Hu Tao’s appearance clearly.

Although she looks the same as Hu Tao... she is her, not anyone else.

"As promised, I will tell you the story of the journey when I come back."

Bai Chu sat on the ground and took out the thick notebook from the bag.

In the quiet sea of ​​flowers, only his soft voice softly told the story of the journey.

The encounter with the Fox Palace, the wild demon god and the thunder and lightning twins encountered in the White Fox Wilderness...

The future big man I met on the remote island, the high mountains of Narukami Island, the cherry blossoms that scatter everywhere every spring...

There is no shadow in the narrow space that has not yet been split by the shadow, and the "Chongshen" has not yet invaded there.

The scenery there is very strange, with cliffs, vast plains, and spectacular waterfalls.

Ah, although it is not as spectacular as the waterfall in Liyue, it still has a unique flavor when viewed.

The thunderbirds have not yet appeared, and there are no thunderclouds covering Ba Ying Island. The center is still a piece of land.

That place will be covered by water in the future. You can only go down through the mechanism. There will be a treasure chest when the time comes.

Tsurukwan Island is very boring. If I tell you, you probably won’t like it either...

From the outlying island to Heguan Island, Bai Chu seemed to have endless things to say, as if Hu Taozhen was sitting in front of him and smiling as he listened to his travel stories.

Bai Chu sat like this for a whole day and night.

It wasn't until the next night that he finally stopped, and the notebook in his hand had reached the last page.

In fact, the story has already been told, he just wanted to have a conversation here.

…After all, I don’t know when it will be next time.

"I'm leaving."

Bai Chu patted the stone tablet and smiled slightly.

"When I come back next time, I'll tell you a story."

"Well, how about going to Fontaine as the next stop? The situation in Xumi is not very good. However, I have to pass by Xumi before going to Fontaine. I will write down anything interesting I encounter."

"Also...Hu Tao, I am very happy every day now. I have fulfilled my promise to you."

However, no one is messing around next to him anymore, so occasionally he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Bai Chu closed his eyes slightly and smiled helplessly.

"Then, see you next time."

See you next time. When is the next time?

A few years, or decades?

……

Bai Chu didn't plan to leave immediately.

He wanted to take a stroll around Liyue first to see how Liyue had changed over the past twenty years, and how his old friends had changed.

As for Zhongli and the others, they will always meet when they should.

"Let me look around now."

Bai Chu didn't use elemental power to rush forward. He just walked step by step on the land of Liyue, just like an ordinary adventurer.

As for where he was going, he didn't know.

However, he still has a lot of time, so it doesn’t matter where he goes.

……

Qingce Village——

This place is ruled by a powerful demon.

Fortunately, this demon god does not interfere too much with human activities. He only accepts their offerings and protects them with his own power.

In front of a farmer's house, an old man with white hair and gray beard was walking slowly, carrying a wooden box.

Along the way, everyone who saw him greeted him warmly, and he nodded slightly and responded politely.

"Mr. Chen, this is the bacon I just made. Take some back with you."

"Mr. Chen, I just went down the mountain and collected a lot of medicinal materials. You can take them back with you! Oh, you're welcome, just take them!"

"Mr. Chen, my man's legs are really grateful to you..."

The old man named Mr. Chen responded with a smile.

The coarse cloth he was wearing was dirty and torn, making him look like a homeless man.

There was a small snake wrapped around the old man's neck, hissing out the snake's message.

The old man walked down the mountain slowly, preparing to leave Qingce Village.

He is not from this land, he only ventured here because someone asked him to.

Now that the man's illness has been cured, there is no reason to stay any longer.

He treats illnesses not for profit, but just to fulfill an agreement with a person he met in the past.

He made an agreement with that person to become the best doctor and save many, many people.

After all these years, although he has become old and frail, he still remembers that agreement.

It's a pity that I can't remember that person...

The old man sighed.

But...he has no regrets.

Smiling in relief, the old man continued walking.

When he was about to walk out of Qingce Village, a figure wearing a bamboo hat caught his eye.

When the young man raised his head, the familiar yet unfamiliar face suddenly awakened the old man's memory of the past.

That face became clear in my mind again.

Bai Chu was looking at the village in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

The people here live quite happily, and it seems that this demon is quite good and is not causing trouble.

Some demons like to pretend to understand and use their own knowledge to look at people's lives.

Just like growing vegetables, there was a demon who thought that the more water the better, but everything ended up being flooded.

And those people still couldn't let the demon know.

As a result, its people slowly all fled.

Ask him how he knew? At that time, he was still dealing with the people who had escaped, letting them live under Zhongli's protection.

This demon god is very good, but if he interferes too much in the development of human beings, this is the best help to them.

"Yes, is it you?"

Just as Bai Chu was about to enter the village to take a look, an old voice suddenly sounded behind him.

He turned around and saw a little old man looking up at him, his eyes sparkling with tears.

When he saw his face, the old man became even more excited.

"You...it's really you."

"…Who are you?"

Bai Chu blinked his eyes, feeling a little dazed.

Does he know this little old man?

Although he did not know this little old man, the old man obviously remembered him, and a relieved smile appeared on his old face.

"Haha... you may not remember me, but I still remember you."

Although, Bai Chu might have just helped him casually at the beginning. But for him, it changed his life.

"…Because of you, I want to become a doctor who can help the world by hanging a pot."

"…etc."

Hearing this, Bai Chu suddenly felt that this little old man looked familiar.

Become a doctor...how many years ago had someone said this to him?

It seems like fifty or sixty years ago, or more than seventy years ago?

He couldn't remember clearly.

But, it seems... there is indeed such a kid, who told him with excitement that he would become the best healer.

In a daze, the blurry face of the kid gradually overlapped with the face of the little old man in front of him.

"...Ah, you are that brat."

Bai Chu remembered.
