Genshin Impact: Immortal Cave

Mr. Li, aren't you here to discuss something with Mr. Zhongli? Why are you staring at him?"

Li Mochen was quietly looking at Zhongli, and the lady next to him couldn't help but interrupt to remind him.

Oh, by the way, I’m not here to look for gods. Let me deal with Qiqi’s issue first.

If Zhongli is really a god, there will be plenty of opportunities to ask for advice in the future.

However, Qiqi's matter is more important at the moment, so Li Mochen told Zhongli about Qiqi's situation.

"So that's how it is. Little Qiqi and Hall Master Hu actually have this kind of relationship."

After hearing about Qiqi's identity and disappearance, Zhongli touched his chin lightly and said calmly.

No matter how urgent the matter was, he always sounded calm when he spoke it, as if there was no need to worry.

For some reason, Li Mochen felt his steady attitude and his anxiety was relieved a lot.

It seems that as long as Zhongli is there, the problem is no longer a problem.

"Mr. Zhongli, what is Qiqi..."

"It wasn't done by the 'Wangsheng Hall'. Although Hall Master Hu mentioned that he wanted to bury Qiqi, he definitely did so with her consent."

Zhongli took a sip of the wine in the glass and answered decisively.

As the head of the "Wangsheng Hall", Hu Tao's behavior often causes controversy.

But Zhongli understood that Hu Tao was a kind-hearted child at heart and would not ignore Qiqi's wishes and force her to be reincarnated.

"Really?"

"That's true. And Hall Master Hu has been holding a large-scale family salvation ceremony in Mingyun Town these past two days. He is not at the place where Qiqi disappeared."

This guy, there is also a large-scale family salvation ceremony? A collective family funeral?

When Li Mochen heard that Hu Tao was hosting the event, he felt both amused and annoyed.

Normally speaking, it would be a tragedy for a large family to encounter a collective accident, but when I thought about Hu Tao presiding over it, it seemed a bit festive.

However, with Zhongli's denial, Qiqi's disappearance became more confusing.

Hu Tao and "Wangshengtang", the people who were most likely to take Qiqi away, have been cleared of suspicion. Where is Qiqi now?

"Little friend Li Mochen, if you don't mind, could you tell me about Qiqi's situation?"

Just when Li Mochen was confused, Zhongli took the initiative to ask.

"Hmm? Mr. Zhongli means..."

"I know a lot of people in Liyue, maybe I can help find Qiqi."

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhongli."

Li Mochen sighed and told Zhongli roughly the information he knew about Qiqi, including her living habits, identity and possible place of disappearance.

Zhongli listened carefully, thought about it, and seemed to have a clue.

"You said Qiqi likes to drink coconut milk, and can drink a lot?"

"Yes, at most I drank about seven or eight liters at one time..."

When Li Mochen thought about how the petite Qiqi could drink a whole bucket of coconut milk, he wondered how she could hold it.

"If that's the case, the person who took Qiqi away might have bought a lot of coconut milk to calm her down."

“That makes sense, but how do we check it?”

Li Mochen also thought about finding the murderer by starting with coconut milk, but there are so many stores selling coconut milk in Liyue, who knows where the murderer bought it from?

"Regarding this, I unexpectedly heard a friend mention a strange thing."

"Something strange?"

"Fools, have you heard of this organization?"

Suddenly, a familiar name came out of Zhongli's mouth.

Of course I've heard of it. How could Li Mochen not know about it?

He and the Fatui are "acquaintances", and the latter even offered a reward of tens of millions of Mora to find him.

"Have heard a little bit."

"That's good. I know the Fatui have a secret base in Lingjuguan, which is said to specialize in researching things related to Ruin Guard."

The Fatui's secret base? They're also researching... the Ruins Guard?

These guys do everything, even Kanreya’s black technology.

Li Mochen was quite clear about the origin of the "Relic Guards". They were basically the black technology left behind by the "Black Sun Dynasty·Kanreya", so Ying could control them.

The Fatui touched Kanreya's black technology, although it seemed to have nothing to do with Qiqi.

"So what does this have to do with Qiqi?"

"The base of 'Lingjuguan' is right on the route Qiqi usually takes to collect herbs, and recently... they seem to have suddenly purchased a large amount of coconut milk."

When Zhongli heard this funny story at first, he just treated it as a joke.

After all, it sounds funny that such a vicious group of people like the Fatui suddenly buy coconut milk.

But now it seems that this is not just a joke, but they bought it because they needed it.

Did the Fatui suddenly buy a large amount of coconut milk, or transport it to Lingju Pass where Qiqi was collecting herbs? According to Li Mochen's understanding of the Fatui, those northern men don't like to drink coconut milk or any dairy products. If any soldier drinks it, he will definitely be laughed at by others and called a little kid who drinks milk. Therefore, the Fatui usually drink vodka as water to show their masculinity and majesty. In this case, they can't buy so much coconut milk unless there are guests who specifically need coconut milk.

"Mr. Zhongli, thank you very much. I will go to Lingju Pass to take a look now."

"Well, I hope you can successfully rescue little Qiqi. In that case..."

"Qiqi? I think I heard someone calling Qiqi! Is she here?"

Just as Zhongli was about to send Li Mochen away, a lively voice suddenly sounded from not far away. The voice sounded like a teenage girl, but the difference was that there was a hint of madness in her voice.

That’s right, it’s crazy, the kind of crazy that is fearless.

Who is she?

Li Mochen turned around quickly and saw a small figure running towards him with a happy smile on her face. She was indeed a teenage girl, cute and full of energy. Her long black and red hair was tied into two playful ponytails, fluttering and looking very pretty. However, such a young and beautiful girl was wearing a black dress with gold patterns that did not match her age, and a strange hat similar to that of a judge on her head. Most people would definitely find this kind of dress strange when they first see it. But after understanding her identity, they would feel that this dress really suits her.

Wow! This guy is back at this time!

Li Mochen looked at the girl running towards him curiously. The Changsheng that was wrapped around his neck was suddenly startled. It was obvious that it recognized the girl, and it was more than just a simple acquaintance.

"Where's Qiqi? Where is Qiqi?"

She ran into the pavilion and began to look around, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"Master Hu, Qiqi is not here. She was kidnapped and may be in danger."

When Zhongli saw her, he calmly revealed the girl's identity and roughly explained what had happened.

Master Hu? Ah, so that's how it is. She is the 77th Master of Wangsheng Hall, Hu Tao.

Before this, Li Mochen had always imagined what the current leader of the Wangsheng Hall would look like. According to rumors, this guy was a rebellious character who broke the rules. But after meeting Hu Tao, he was a little surprised because Hu Tao was obviously a very cute girl.

"What! Qiqi was kidnapped!"

After hearing Zhongli's explanation, Hu Tao's eyes widened and her expression was extremely displeased.

"How can this be! You actually did what I wanted to do before me, this is too much!"

"So you really thought about it that way."

"No, this is called stealing business, right? This is the first time someone in Liyue dares to steal business from our Wangsheng Hall. How brave of them."

"Will you let me finish my words?"

"I've decided. I'm going to get Qiqi back! I'm going to give her a grand funeral!"

When Hu Tao was talking to herself, Li Mochen couldn't get a word in, as if she didn't belong to his world.

"Hall Master Hu is usually like this. Once she gets excited, it's hard to communicate with her."

Seeing Li Mochen's embarrassed expression, Zhongli picked up the wine glass and tasted it gently, saying leisurely.

"Forget it, let her do whatever she wants. I'm going to Lingju Pass first anyway."

Sighing, Li Mochen turned and ran outside, not wanting to waste time here.

Whoosh! A shadow flashed before his eyes, and Walnut appeared in front of him like a ghost!

"You are going to Lingju Pass, is Qiqi there?"

Hu Tao stared at Li Mochen with her bright eyes and asked without hesitation.

"Probably. Wait, how come you can suddenly communicate with me normally?"

"Actually it's always possible, it's just a matter of whether I'm willing to do it or not."

"...Please move aside. I have to go."

"Then take me with you. I want to go find Qiqi too."

In the main hall of the "Wangsheng Hall", the 77th generation head of the hall made such a request. As she spoke, Kurumi's expression and tone became serious for some reason. She looked like a "head of the hall", and her originally petite body looked taller.

What's going on? Can this guy still switch between crazy mode and normal mode?

"Master Hu, going to Lingju Pass is no joke. You might fight with the enemy."

Despite this, Li Mochen politely declined. He didn't want to bring a little girl he had just met, especially if he was planning to hold a funeral for Qiqi.

"I usually deal with dead people, so I'm also good at fighting. It's okay."

Walnut raised his chin with a proud look on his face.

Wait, why does dealing with the dead make you good at fighting? You don't beat up dead people every day, do you?

"Even so..."

"If you don't take me with you, I will go alone and burn down everything in Lingju Pass. You can do whatever you want."

Hu Tao said, clapping her hands casually. Her white and tender little hands opened and closed, and a red swallowtail butterfly flew out from her palm. The butterfly seemed to be made of flames, and it exuded a strong breath of fire element when it flew. According to legend, this hell butterfly is a messenger connecting the human world and the underworld, helping to guide the dead to the underworld. Hu Tao was able to use her fire element ability to create such a lifelike butterfly, which shows her superb skills. Looking closely, Li Mochen found that there were obvious gun calluses on her palms, just like his own.

Only those who have practiced spearmanship for many years can have such spear calluses. Obviously, Hu Tao used the same weapon as Li Mochen. From this point of view, Hu Tao's statement that she is good at fighting is true.

Normally, Li Mochen didn't care much about Hu Tao's little threat. But for some reason, seeing the determined look in her eyes, he could no longer say "no".
