Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat
Chapter 178 The fragrance of death
After agreeing to prepare for the ceremony of inviting the immortals together with Zhongli, the few of them quickly took action.
Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, Ying and Paimeng finally saw clearly what kind of person Zhongli was.
If we use Paimon's original words to describe him, he is undoubtedly a "social loser"! This person spends money like water, is lavish, and has no concept of money at all.
What's even more outrageous is that he doesn't like to carry money with him, which really drives Ying and Paimon crazy. If it weren't for the generous angel investor Tartaglia's timely help, this fairy-sending ceremony would probably have been difficult to complete.
After purchasing the Yebo Stone, making the Colorful Flower Ointment, borrowing the Cleansing Dust Bell and buying the kite, the only thing left was the last item - the Incense of Rebirth.
If you want to buy incense for the afterlife, you must go to Bubu Lu.
When the group arrived at Bubu Lu, Paimeng was really scared by Qiqi's sudden appearance in front of them because of her petite figure.
Fortunately, Qiqi has recovered after Alicia's careful treatment. Baishu has also specially changed Qiqi into an ordinary little skirt, and the talisman on her forehead has disappeared. In this way, Qiqi looks like a cute, well-behaved and clever little girl.
Therefore, Qiqi did not say "I am a zombie".
Zhongli stepped forward and asked softly, "Little friend, does your store sell incense for the dead?" Qiqi held her finger in her mouth, blinked her big eyes, and said word by word, "Do you have a prescription? If you have a prescription, Qiqi can get the medicine."
Qiqi didn't mean to make things difficult for Zhongli and the others, but because she was just a little medicine boy and couldn't just dispense medicine for people without a prescription.
Seeing this, Zhongli explained helplessly: "We didn't buy the incense for curing diseases, so we don't need a prescription, right?"
Qiqi still insisted on her principles and said to them very seriously: "If you have a prescription, Qiqi can get the medicine for you. But if you don't have a prescription, you still have to help Qiqi, this is fair."
When Paimon heard this, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and he said in surprise: "Aren't you a clerk? Is it unfair for a clerk to help a customer?"
Compared to Paimeng, Zhongli nodded in approval, and then said, "Well... it's okay, such an equal relationship is not bad. In Liyue, the art of trading is to think from the other person's perspective. Qiqi, tell us what you want."
Qiqi said excitedly, "Really? Qiqi wants you to help find the coconut sheep!" Paimeng and Ying looked at each other, both of them looked confused, and asked in unison, "Coconut sheep? What is that?"
When Zhongli heard the name, he couldn't help but frown. He always felt that this name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Seeing their reactions, Qiqi nodded seriously and explained, "Yes, it's the coconut sheep! It's the legendary half-immortal beast! Qiqi has already drunk up the coconut milk that Sister Ai Li gave me last time, but Qiqi still has to help Mr. Bai run the store, so she has no time to ask Sister Ai Li for more. So, Qiqi hopes that you can help Qiqi hunt the coconut sheep, so that Qiqi will have coconut milk to drink!"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she had already smelled the aroma of coconut milk.
When Ying and Paimon heard this, their eyes widened and they said in shock, "You still know Ai Li?"
Zhongli relaxed his frown, the case was solved. The hall master was tricked in this way before, thinking that Ganyu was the coconut sheep. After knowing the direction, Zhongli nodded and said to Qiqi: "Qiqi, little friend, as long as we find the coconut milk and bring it back, it will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Qiqi nodded and said seriously: "Well, you help Qiqi find coconut milk, and Qiqi will help you find incense for the dead." After getting confirmation, Zhongli nodded and called to Ying and Paimeng: "Travelers, let's go. I already have an idea about finding the coconut sheep." Ying and Paimeng looked at each other and followed Zhongli's footsteps to leave Bubu Lu.
Outside the hut, Ying couldn't wait to ask Zhongli, "Zhongli, do you know where to find the coconut sheep?"
Zhongli shook his head and said, "There are no coconut sheep in this world."
Ying asked with a puzzled look on her face: "But didn't Qiqi say that Ai Li gave her coconut milk? By the way, Zhongli, you don't know her yet, Ai Li is..." Before Ying could finish her words, Zhongli interrupted her.
"I do know Miss Alicia." Zhongli crossed his arms, resting his right hand on his chin as he thought about something, and replied softly, "That's why I said there is no coconut sheep."
Paimon opened his mouth in surprise and said in disbelief: "So Zhongli, you also know Miss Ellie! But how did you know that the coconut sheep was fake, Zhongli? Have you ever drunk real coconut milk?"
Paimon moved closer to Zhongli, staring at him intently, trying to pry some useful information out of him.
Zhongli sighed helplessly, and then told Ying the story of how Hu Tao was tricked. Ying was in disbelief, as she couldn't imagine that the gentle, beautiful, and well-educated Alicia could have such a naughty side.
Paimon suddenly realized something as if he had just woken up from a dream, and muttered to himself: "I see, so the coconut milk that Qiqi mentioned is actually ordinary coconut milk, right?"
Zhongli nodded slightly in agreement, and continued, "I think that's right. In Liyue, when adults explain certain things to children, they often use a mythological perspective, which can arouse children's curiosity and make them feel awe for these things."
"In that case, what should we do next?" Paimon asked.
"We just need to find Alicia, explain the situation to her, and ask for some coconut milk," Zhongli replied calmly.
Ying looked at Zhongli with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "If it's just ordinary coconut milk, can't we just go to the store and buy it? Why do we have to go out of our way to find Ai Li?" Zhongli smiled and explained softly, "This is just our speculation. We need to ask Miss Ai Lixia directly to find out the actual situation."
Originally, Ying planned to avoid disturbing Alicia as much as possible before her own problems were solved, so as not to cause trouble to her. However, since Zhongli and others gave sufficient reasons, Ying naturally could not raise any more objections. At this time, Paimon spread his hands and said helplessly: "But we don't know where Miss Ali lives?" Zhongli smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I know where Miss Alicia lives."
Hearing this, Ying couldn't wait to urge: "Then let's set off quickly!" Her eyes revealed a hint of excitement, as if she couldn't wait to solve this mystery. So, under the leadership of Zhongli, everyone embarked on a journey to find Alicia.
