Qiqi: Write It Down-You Can't Bury Me Today!

Since Cloud Retainer brought up stories from Ganyu 'Ganyu childhood, Ganyu had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

However, after agreeing, I felt a little happy.

"Ah, I slept so well."

Bai Ye opened his eyes and said this.

At yesterday's banquet, Bai Ye and Kazuha continued to use fruit juice instead of alcoholic beverages.

They both eventually fell asleep.

Bai Ye still remembers seeing Ningguang's astonished look at the two of them before going to sleep.

The fact that some people can get drunk from drinking beverages is something Ningguang hadn't expected.

"When I grow to 1.8 meters tall, I will definitely develop a high alcohol tolerance."

Bai Ye thought to herself.

At this moment, Bai Ye felt that something was wrong with his body.

There was a strange fragrance around me, accompanied by the smell of tobacco.

He quickly sat up.

Looking to his left and right, Bai Ye noticed that Ningguang was looking at various documents not far from him.

So where is he?

Could it be on Ningguang's bed?

As he was thinking like this, Ningguang put down the book and looked up.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm." Bai Ye nodded, then pointed to the bed he was sleeping on, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Sister Ningguang, did I disturb your rest?"

Ningguang chuckled and sat down next to Bai Ye, saying, "I specifically had you moved here. And it doesn't disturb my rest at all. On the contrary, I feel quite good right now."

She wasn't constantly grading documents.

The fragrance emanating from Bai Ye has a calming and fatigue-relieving effect.

Although Ningguang refrained from hugging or doing anything else for fear of waking Bai Ye, she still felt refreshed.

Pity...

Ningguang sighed inwardly.

If it weren't for Bai Ye's identity, she would really like to stay by his side forever, and even sleep with him every day.

Ningguang picked up a deposit slip from the table.

"What's this?"

Bai Ye was taken aback when he saw Ningguang's actions.

"Your overnight fee." Ningguang smiled.

"Ah!?"

"I was just kidding." Ningguang looked very happy as she saw Bai Ye staring blankly.

She continued, "This is the profit share you're entitled to when you're in business. The vehicles you invented are now widely used in various caravans throughout Liyue, generating substantial profits."

"Let me see, how many are there!?"

Although I know that the car industry monopoly is tyrannical, I still don't feel at ease until the money is in my own hands.

As Bai Ye counted the string of zeros, his eyes started to blur.

"That's great!"

Bai Ye and Hagintos said in unison.

Ningguang couldn't help but smile as she looked at Bai Ye's money-grubbing appearance.

It seems like his eyes light up when he sees Mora; he's really adorable.

"Would you like to go get some breakfast together?"

Ningguang flicked Bai Ye's cheek with her fingertip and said to him.

Bai Ye couldn't help but dodge.

Ningguang's smile was even more radiant.

Bai Ye quickly got out of bed.

He said to Ningguang, "Let's go eat quickly."

"Good."

Ningguang smiled and said.

This time, she didn't flirt with Bai Ye.

The group arrived at the dining room of the Jade Chamber, where the maids had already prepared the food. Besides Bai Ye and Ningguang, Paimon and Ying also came here.

Everyone else except them had something to do last night and went home first.

"You're here!" Paimon waved and called out as soon as he saw Bai Ye and Ningguang.

"Um."

Bai Ye and Ningguang nodded slightly.

Bai Ye found her seat and sat down, her gaze falling on the food on the table.

There were many sweet breakfast items on the table, which was Bai Ye's favorite.

While eating, Ying looked at Bai Ye, as if she wanted to say something.

Whenever she sees Bai Ye, she can't help but recall how he flew over and hugged her during the most dangerous moment yesterday.

She was a little shy.

At this moment, Paimon flew to Bai Ye's side.

"Um, Bai Ye, we have something we'd like to ask you,"

Paimon said, rubbing his little hands together.

"What is it?"

Bai Ye asked Paimon.

"Did you see Raiden Shogun when you went to Inazuma?"

"Yes, that's right..." Bai Ye nodded.

He probably knew what Paimon wanted to say.

"Um, I was wondering if you've ever heard Raiden Shogun tell the story of the Traveler from the monstrous land?"

Hearing Paimon's question, Ying stared intently at Bai Ye.

Ningguang watched them while she ate.

She discovered something.

Ying was staring intently at Bai Ye, but her expression seemed to contradict what Bai Ye had said.

It seems that the allure of the Bai Ye has no effect on Fire.

No, it's not that it has no effect at all, but it's obvious that Bai Ye's charm is much less effective against Ying.

Is this related to the fact that Ying comes from outside the world?

Ningguang thought to herself.

After finishing his food, Bai Ye said to Ying, "Oh, you don't need to go to Inazuma about this. Ying-neechan knows nothing about it."

Venti and Zhongli knew about the Seven Archons' past, but they didn't say anything due to certain circumstances. Ying, on the other hand, knew absolutely nothing.

"I see..."

Ying nodded thoughtfully.

It seems her journey to Inazuma won't continue for the time being.

The investigation in Liyue is not yet complete. If we also send Inazuma away, then we will still have to search in Shikoku.

I just don't know how my brother is doing now.

Ying thought to herself.

Ningguang asked several people:

"What are you planning to do next?"

Bai Ye thought for a moment and replied to Ningguang, "Ningguang, I plan to go home next. I'll be away from Liyue for Inazuma for a while, so I should clean the house properly and get some rest."

"We must continue our adventures to earn Mora!"

Paimon then answered what she and Ying were going to do next.

They couldn't go on a journey without making money, and they also wanted to continue their inquiries in Liyue.

"Mm." Ningguang nodded gently.

The group of people ate breakfast and chatted idly.

After breakfast, Ningguang still had things to take care of. Bai Ye and Yingze left Jade Chamber together.

Looking at Ying, Bai Ye seemed to have something to say but hesitated.

In fact, there is a huge conflict between him and Ying.

It concerns the principles of Heavenly Principles.

The Heavenly Principles Maintainer sealed away Ying before took special care of Bai Ye.

When the younger brother comes to see that kind of thing.

Although Ying is the main character he plays on Earth, if the day really comes, Bai Ye estimates that he will still have to stand on Heavenly Principles's side.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at the Traveler?"

Paimon noticed that Bai Ye was looking at him the same way and asked curiously.

When Ying heard Paimon say that Bai Ye's gaze had been fixed on her, her expression became somewhat uneasy.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just curious about Traveler who, like me, are outsiders."

Bai Ye made up an excuse.

"You're an outsider too!?"

"Yes, but I'm not some Traveler from multiple worlds. I was just an ordinary student who ended up in Teyvat after falling off a building."

Bai Ye explained.

At this moment, the floating stone reached the ground.

Ying wanted to say something else,

At that moment, a figure darted out.

"Bai Ye, I was just about to look for you when you came down from Jade Chamber."

Hu Tao said to Bai Ye.

He greeted Ying and Paimon at that moment.

"Hello, Traveler Paimon!"

Bai Ye looked at Hu Tao and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What do you want to see me about? It's not that Zhongli is in too much debt and you're going to sell the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, is it?"

As he said this, he took out the deposit slip that Ningguang had just given him and placed it in Hu Tao's hand with trembling hands.

"Use these first, I have more if you need more." As he spoke, Bai Ye turned his head to look at the window.

My heart aches...

"That's not it!" Hu Tao placed the deposit slip in Bai Ye's hand. "Although Wangsheng Funeral Parlor isn't a particularly wealthy business, it's enough to support you and Zhongli. I came to see you for something else."

"Really?"

Bai Ye was pleasantly surprised and took the deposit slip back.

Then he continued, "What is it?"

"I came to you to save someone."

"Save someone? Who?"

"The owner of the Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu."

Hu Tao revealed the identity of the person she wanted to save.

"Baizhu?" Bai Ye asked curiously. "Isn't he responsible for treating illnesses and saving lives? Why does he need someone else to treat him?"

"It's very simple. He intends to save someone who has been corrupted by the Archon Residue."

Upon hearing the mention of the Archon Residue, Bai Ye instantly perked up.

Meanwhile, Ying and Paimon were also looking at Hu Tao.

"Come on, Hu Tao, tell us what exactly happened?"

"It's like this..."

Then, Hu Tao told Bai Ye what had happened the night before.

Yesterday, Hu Tao listened to Venti's sermon at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for a while. She was about to go over and say hello when Venti suddenly ran away after finishing her hymn.

Hu Tao thought something was wrong, but when she looked, she found that Venti had run to Zhongli's side.

"Now that the hymns have ended, shouldn't we drink some wine?"

Zhongli nodded.

After that, the two of them drank.

Hu Tao was stunned on the spot.

No, so Zhongli used alcohol to hire Venti?

This Anemo Archon is too easy to hire, isn't he?

Hu Tao mentally complained.

After that, you should go back to rest.

As for the expenses incurred by Zhongli's treat, Hu Tao didn't care.

If we can get the Anemo Archon to sing hymns, then no amount of money is a problem.

With no one singing hymns, the people of Liyue Harbor began to leave in twos and threes.

Just as Hu Tao was about to step into the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she glanced sideways and saw Baizhu making a house call.

Um!?

If Baizhu goes out to make house calls, then will Qiqi be left alone?

Hu Tao thought to herself.

She quietly followed behind Baizhu, wanting to see how far he had gone.

Walking behind, Hu Tao overheard the conversation between Baizhu and Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng said to Baizhu, "Baizhu, I have to remind you. You have already used up a lot of your life force today. If you continue to use your life force to treat that patient tonight, I'm afraid your body will be even more unable to cope."

"Don't worry, I'm confident. If we don't use that method to treat him, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on."

Baizhu did not heed Chang Sheng's advice.

"Hmph, I hope I don't become my shortest-term contractor."

Chang Sheng said with dissatisfaction.

"I will live on forever," Baizhu said to Chang Sheng with a smile. "Moreover, the poison made from the Archon Residue is extremely rare. I should definitely study it carefully."

Archon Residue!

Upon hearing Baizhu say this, Hu Tao's eyes widened in surprise.

Regarding the Archon Residue, whether it was the family heirloom or the stories of Archon Residue that Hu Tao had read with Bai Ye, they all told Hu Tao how terrifying these Archon Residue were.

And now, is Baizhu going to challenge the Archon Residue?

This is extremely dangerous.

However, Hu Tao knew she couldn't persuade Baizhu, so she went to find Bai Ye the next morning.

I want to see if Bai Ye has time to deal with this Archon Residue.

Bai Ye was very enthusiastic about dealing with the Archon Residue.

Upon hearing what Hu Tao said, Bai Ye stopped resting.

Come on, let's take a look now.

"We'll go find Baizhu now."

Bai Ye said to Hu Tao.

"We've also thought about giving it a try," Paimon said at this moment.

"OK."

Hu Tao nodded.

Then, the group set off.

We arrived at Bubu Pharmacy.

"Huh? Why is nobody here?"

Paimon was at the front, looked around, and seemed a little puzzled.

"Qiqi is here."

At that moment, Qiqi's voice came from behind the counter of Bubu Pharmacy.

"Mr. Baizhu is resting..."

Qiqi had just revealed her body.

Then it returned at a speed several times faster than it appeared.

She saw Hu Tao.

They hid inside the window in fear.

Hu Tao said to the counter, "I didn't come here for you, Tian. I'll come back later to help you with your affairs. I came here today to find Baizhu. Come out, I won't bury you."

"Really? Then you'll sign a written agreement?"

Qiqi said to Hu Tao.

Hu Tao silently wrote a guarantee.

Hand it to Qiqi.

Is this okay?

"Okay." Qiqi took the receipt and then came out from behind the counter.

"Now, can you tell me about Baizhu's condition?"

Hu Tao asked Qiqi.

"Mr. Baizhu is resting."

As they were talking, footsteps came from behind the door.

"Is there anything I can help you with, Director Hu?"

Baizhu said with a calm expression.

Chang Sheng swayed back and forth around his neck.

However, both Hu Tao, who was skilled at sending people away, and Bai Ye, who had the power to control life, could see that Baizhu was putting on a brave face.

His life force had been greatly depleted.

Bai Ye watched and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He has a lot of life force, but it's unclear whether Baizhu is willing to sign an alliance contract with him. If not, Bai Ye has no way to give him life.

"Baizhu, judging from your complexion, I think it won't be long before we hold your funeral. When that time comes, as your great-uncle's disciple, I will definitely bring Bai Ye Zhongli along to hold your funeral."

Hu Tao said to Baizhu.

"I think that's unlikely." Baizhu changed the subject. "Tell me, what are you here for? You didn't come just to humiliate me, did you?"
