Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat
Chapter 156 Atractylodes
Then Clorinde began to explain to Alicia in detail what had happened.
It turned out that not long after Alicia and Ganyu left, Funina finished her meal and took Clorinde to Bubulu to look for Qiqi. However, since they were not familiar with the road, they could only ask several enthusiastic passers-by for directions along the way. It took a lot of trouble to finally reach their destination - Bubulu.
As soon as I entered Bubulu, a voice came from my ear: "Welcome to Bubulu. If you need medicine, please show me the prescription."
Funina immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Qiqi, and she looked in the direction of the sound, but strangely, she did not see Qiqi. Funina could not help but show a look of horror as if she had seen a ghost, and then she raised her voice and shouted: "Qiqi! Is that you? Where are you?"
"Ah? Is that Sister Funina? I'm here." Perhaps because Funina was concentrating all her attention this time, she quickly realized that the voice seemed to come from behind the table. So she hurriedly pulled Clorinde and walked quickly in that direction...
Funina walked closer and finally caught sight of Qiqi. It turned out that due to the height difference, Qiqi was completely hidden by the tabletop, which was why Funina and her companions did not notice her presence at first.
When Funina saw Qiqi, she immediately shouted excitedly: "Qiqi, what are you doing hiding in there? I came here specially to play with you!" When Qiqi saw Funina, a happy smile broke out on her face. However, when she heard that she was invited to play together, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"Qiqi is helping Mr. Bai Zhu look after the shop, so I'm afraid she can't get away to play with you." Qiqi replied softly.
When Fu Nina heard this, she was furious: "Oh my God! Qiqi, you are so young and you have to help look after the store? Doesn't Liyue have laws to protect minors? This behavior is obviously employing child labor! Who is that Bai Zhu? I must bring him to trial!"
The more Furninna thought about it, the angrier she got. After all, Qiqi had been born a long time ago, but she had been sealed in amber for most of her life, and there were only a few days when she was truly awake. Moreover, Qiqi was like an innocent child in both her physical and mental state. In this way, letting Qiqi guard the store was undoubtedly equivalent to hiring child labor.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Funina: "Were you looking for me just now?"
Upon hearing the voice, Funina hurriedly turned around to look, only to see the person coming with long emerald green hair cascading down like a waterfall, and snake eyes shining with golden light, making her look even more mysterious; she wore a pair of golden half-frame glasses on her nose, and there was always a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.
The hair is fixed firmly by an exquisite hairpin and combed into a high ponytail, hanging down on the back; a small lock of hair is left on the left cheek, gently fluttering in the wind. The white snake named "Changsheng" is quietly coiled around its owner.
This person was wearing a sky-blue, stand-up collar, double-breasted, short-sleeved long gown with a slightly open hem, revealing his slender, white waistline.
On his shoulders was a specially treated cloak that exuded a fresh fragrance. Apparently, this unique smell came from the various herbs and spices that Changsheng loved, which not only made people feel relaxed and happy, but also helped to calm the mind and eliminate fatigue. On his waist hung a divine eye that emitted a faint emerald green light, and below him was a pair of mushroom purple cropped trousers and a pair of plain black cloth shoes.
Fu Nina looked at the white snake wrapped around Bai Zhu's neck and took two steps back in fear, but then she mustered up the courage to say to Bai Zhu, "Are you the owner of this medicine shop? Don't you know that Qiqi is a child laborer?"
Bai Zhu just smiled at Funina's attack, looked Funina and Clorinde behind her up and down, and said, "I wonder what your relationship with Qiqi is?"
But before Funina could answer, Qiqi ran out from the front desk and said to Baishu, "Mr. Baishu, they are Qiqi's friends. They and Sister Alicia saved me from Walnut and cured my injuries."
After hearing Qiqi's words, Changsheng, who was surrounding Baishu, immediately questioned: "What? Can they cure Qiqi?"
Hearing this, the aura of immortality that originally lingered around Bai Zhu suddenly became doubtful, as if questioning: "How is it possible? Can these two people alone heal Qiqi?"
Changsheng was deeply skeptical of what Qiqi said. She did not feel anything unusual about Funina and Clorinde. When Qiqi returned yesterday, she and Bai Shu immediately noticed Qiqi's abnormal condition.
They knew that Qiqi's physical condition was incurable and could be called a terminal illness. It could be said that she was beyond medical help and had to rely on the power of several immortals. Who could have expected that Qiqi would recover with the help of others after just one trip? The most shocked person was undoubtedly Bai Zhu himself.
Bai Zhu was originally a mortal, but he was filled with extreme disgust and fear of death. In order to realize his wish of immortality, he resolutely embarked on the path of studying medicine, and then made a contract with the mysterious Changsheng to share each other's life force. In this way, Bai Zhu seemed to have successfully broken free from the constraints of the life span of the mortal body.
However, this seemingly good deal hides many unexpected side effects. Despite this, Bai Zhu never gave up the pursuit of immortality, and the desire in his heart was still burning.
One day, the gears of fate turned quietly, and Bai Zhu accidentally met Qiqi who had just escaped from amber. The little girl in front of him was petite and delicate, as fragile as a porcelain doll; but she was a zombie, and Bai Zhu felt pity for her and decided to take Qiqi back to his own Bubulu to take good care of her.
Although Qiqi has a zombie body and is constantly suffering from various physical conditions and problems, it is undeniable that she has reached a state of immortality in a special sense - transcending the cycle of life and death.
Every time Bai Zhu looked at Qiqi's innocent face, he couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart: he envied her eternal life, but also felt helpless that he could not truly escape the shadow of death.
Although Bai Zhu initially brought Qiqi back to Bubulu with the intention of studying her, he was actually a kind person and had never treated Qiqi badly.
