Genshin Impact: A Traveler with Only Two Skills

"There is another option," Ling Yue said, "We can start with the two possessed immortals. Since the immortals in the town are so wary of them, maybe they have a way to break the ban."

Ying understood Ling Yue's meaning, but the situation of the two people was still unclear. It was really dangerous to cooperate with a possessed immortal. Ling Yue's suggestion could only be regarded as an alternative plan.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the town. In order to avoid suspicion from others, they went to find Brother Qiu, the toy merchant that Ying and the others met yesterday. However, in Ying's opinion, Gu Ling was still obsessed with the glass ball toy she saw yesterday.

After buying the glass balls, they continued to walk towards Chen Juan's house, but met Brother Zhu again at the market. At this time, Brother Zhu was pushing a cart there selling something, and there was a continuous sound of frying coming from the cart, and at the same time a strong stench and strong fragrance came from the cart.

"Stinky tofu! Stinky tofu! Delicious fried stinky tofu!" Brother Zhu was fiddling with the stinky tofu in the pot with his hands while shouting loudly. At this time, more and more people came to the market, and many people came to his stall.

Ying and the others saw Brother Zhu from afar, but did not leave immediately. Instead, they found a tea stall nearby and drank tea while observing each other.

This is the magic of the bottom of the lake. They are clearly in the lake, but not only can they make fire and fry food here, they can even make tea. The drinking water is perfectly separated from the lake water without any mixing.

Except for the replacement of air with lake water, the rest of the lake bottom is exactly the same as on normal land.

"Wow! Old Zhu, you are really good at cooking." A sturdy man with a strong build walked to Brother Zhu's stall, picked up a piece of stinky tofu on the plate with one hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth without fear of the heat. He chewed it twice and swallowed it.

"Well, not bad!" After saying that, the man was about to leave. Seeing this, Brother Zhu hurriedly shouted:

"Hey, you, your money..."

Before he could finish his words, the sturdy man turned around and Brother Zhu immediately shut up.

"It's just a piece of stinky tofu. It's not like I won't give it to you. Look at how stingy you are. Next time I'll buy you a big bowl and give it all to you at once."

"You didn't give me the last one..." Brother Zhu muttered again, but this time his voice was very low. The man didn't hear it and just walked away with a swagger.

After all, Brother Zhu lived in the same yard with them. Although Ying was not very familiar with him, she did not want to see him being bullied by others. She wanted to go over and ask for an explanation, but Brother Zhu's subsequent behavior made her hesitate.

Brother Zhu suddenly widened his eyes.

The other party's emotions were very obvious. In the last second he was still upset because the burly man ate and freed himself, but in the next second he widened his eyes as if he saw something good.

Ying followed his gaze and saw Chen Juan walking towards her from the other side of the market.

The woman who had adopted many children was holding a large bag of fresh vegetables and two fish, which seemed to be for preparing lunch for the children.

She walked and stopped along the way, stopping from time to time to compare the prices of vegetables sold at several stalls, but after half a day she didn't buy a single vegetable. It was not until she was about to leave the market that she turned back and bought the cheapest vegetables.

During this process, Brother Zhu's eyes never left Chen Juan. Even when someone came to his stall to buy stinky tofu, he would glance at Chen Juan from time to time.

"Couple Zhu, is he interested in Chen Juan?" Ying frowned slightly.

Obviously, Brother Zhu has already married Zhao Dongniang, but now it seems that he has feelings for Chen Juan. Although she, as an outsider, cannot say anything about this matter, she always feels that it is inappropriate.

Especially for her, who has posted photos of many beautiful girls, it is even more difficult to say anything.

Just when Ying was struggling, Chen Juan had already walked up to Brother Zhu. She just smiled and greeted him, but the smile on Brother Zhu's face became even brighter.

"Sister Juan! Come and buy some vegetables." Brother Zhu put a piece of stinky tofu into the bowl, then rubbed his hands on his apron before picking up the plate.

"This is a plate I fried just now. It's a good chance that you're here. Why don't you try it first?"

"I don't feel comfortable doing this. It's not easy for you to do business. I can't just take your things." Chen Juan smiled and refused Brother Zhu.

But Brother Zhu did not give up, and continued:

"It's nothing. We are neighbors. Dong Niang and I both live in your house. We see each other every day. A few pieces of tofu are nothing."

After saying that, Brother Zhu grabbed Chen Juan's hand and stuffed the bowl of stinky tofu into her hand. Chen Juan had no choice but to thank him and left quickly.

"Who would give someone stinky tofu as a gift?" Gu Ling shrugged her nose, playing with the glass ball in her hands, but she expressed her dissatisfaction with Brother Zhu's behavior.

However, Ying noticed that Brother Zhu's intention to give her something was fake, and his real intention was to hold Chen Juan's hand. After Chen Juan had been gone for a long time, he was still staring at his hands in a daze.

Ying couldn't bear to watch it any longer. At least for now, it seemed that Brother Zhu didn't have any clues. Just when she wanted to leave, another person came to Brother Zhu.

The person who came this time was not here to buy tofu, nor to cause trouble. He came to Brother Zhu to ask him to help unload the goods outside the town at night.

"I really don't have enough staff here, so just help me out and consider it a good deed."

"If I go back late, I'm afraid the one at my house will..." Brother Zhu looked embarrassed.

"What are you afraid of? You're a grown man, are you afraid of your wife?" The other person suddenly raised his voice too high, attracting the attention of some passers-by.

"Oh, you, you, what did you say!" Brother Zhu waved his hands repeatedly and looked around. Seeing that someone noticed them, he smiled and nodded, but when he turned around, he looked embarrassed again.

"Well, then I have to say yes. If it's too late, I'll just leave."

"Don't worry! After you finish helping me, I will treat you to a drink! Haha!" When the man heard Brother Zhu's agreement, he smiled and patted the other's shoulder, then left without looking back.

Seeing that they could not get any useful information from Brother Zhu, Ying and the others sat for a while and then left.

At dusk they took a stroll outside the town again but were unable to find any clues about the possessed immortal. When they returned to the house at night, they saw Brother Zhu having just finished worshipping the statue and was about to help unload the goods.

Ying and the others did not follow, so Brother Zhu went out of the town alone.

When Zhu arrived, the foreman scolded him:

"Why are you here so late? We have already unloaded half of the cargo."

Brother Zhu had no choice but to apologize repeatedly, but when he looked at the large wooden boxes loaded on the cart, he saw that none of them had moved. He didn't say anything, but just rolled up his sleeves and went over to help.

However, he, the helper, worked harder, while those who were unloading the goods were lazy from time to time. When Brother Zhu saw that it was getting late, he planned to leave. Seeing this, the foreman immediately shouted:

"Why? Are you afraid that your wife will beat you if you get home late?"

Every time this happened, people around would join in the laughter. Brother Zhu's face turned red and he was speechless for a long time. He had to work harder to finish the work quickly.

It was almost midnight, and Brother Zhu was sweating profusely from exhaustion. The lake water became even colder and kept flowing through his body, taking away waves of heat. Soon he began to shiver.

The foreman had been chatting with his men nearby. When Brother Zhu finished moving, he came over with a handful of melon seeds.

"It's too late today, I won't keep you drinking, let's talk about it tomorrow. You should go back and be with your wife!"

After saying this, the foreman and his men burst into laughter again.

When Brother Zhu heard this, his face turned red and white, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only smile and walk away quickly.

On the way back, he wrapped his body tightly with clothes, walked to a deserted place, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, he cursed in a low voice:

"It's always like this, time and time again. I won't help you next time!"

But he also knew that this was not the first time he had said this, but every time the other party came to him, he did not dare to refuse, especially when he mentioned that he was afraid of his wife, he became so anxious that he did not care about these things at all.

"That bitch!" Brother Zhu cursed fiercely in his heart.

When he got home, his body was already frozen cold, but he was still scolded by Zhao Dongniang. He gritted his teeth and endured it all. After taking a shower, he made a bed on the floor next to the bed and went to sleep.

Tired and sleepy, he soon fell asleep. In his dream, he dreamed of a fish.

Faintly, he seemed to hear again the words he had heard the night before.

At that time, he rejected the tempting voice.

But this time, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

He agreed to the voice in his dream.

Then, Brother Zhu died.
