Original God Zhongli BG Xiao Qinglong traveled through time

Chapter 358 Jade Claws Mixed with the Wind

When the moon first rose, there was a deafening splash of water in the backyard of the Wangsheng Hall.

"Don't run, little ancestor! Your tail is covered with pollen from the red spider lily of the valley!" Hu Tao chased through the corridor with a small wooden bucket dyed with cinnabar, her hair dripping with pink and purple bath liquid, like a slime that had just jumped out of a thunderstorm. Xi Zhi's hair ball, which had exploded into three times its size, jumped out of her arms, hooked on the tassel of the lantern on the eaves, and the falling bath bubbles reflected a colorful halo in the moonlight, like a string of rainbows broken up by a cat's tail.

The mechanical bird with a star ribbon tied around its neck crashed through the window paper at this moment, and its gilded wings shook off the crystals of lightning elements like stardust. Zhongli put down the teacup and caught the messenger bird. As soon as the letter was unfolded, it was splashed with a few drops of bath liquid - Xizhi was flying on the antique shelf stepping on the "Secret Records of Rebirth", dragging a "mourning belt" made of rebirth notes behind him, like a little ancestor in mourning and dancing.

"To you and my friends:

The Southern Cross Fleet has arrived at the outlying island. In the thunderstorm area, they encountered the Fools' Musketeers disguised as the Shogunate Army. The situation in Inazuma is more complicated than expected——"

Splash! The whole bucket of the specially made "Yin Yang Special Cat Bath Soap" was poured onto the letter paper, and the last half line of words became a circle of ink flowers, a vivid contemporary abstract masterpiece.

Mr. Zhongli put down the letter, the rock element patterns on his palm slowly disappeared, and he sighed softly - this sigh contained three parts helplessness, seven parts indulgence, and half a part of heartache for the teacup lid that was scratched by the cat's claws.

"Master, you..." He hesitated to speak.

"I'm sorry, sir! This little fur ball is impossible to catch!" Hu Tao wiped the foam off his face, shook the glass bottle and smiled like a little fox that stole oil: "This is a special blend of this hall master! The red spider lily dew is mixed with the bamboo juice of Qingce Village. The cleansing effect is comparable to Qiqi's ice mist, and the exorcism ability is better than Chongyun's talisman--" Before he finished speaking, Xizhi's blue pupils straightened into thin lines, and rock patterns suddenly appeared on the paperweight under his claws. The whole row of antique shelves rotated in response, and Qiqi's special ice mist mint ointment, Baizhu's awakening wormwood bag, and Xingqiu Chongyun's ice talisman friendly provided by Xingqiu Chongyun smashed into the bathtub with a crackling sound. The various medicinal liquids collided and exploded into purple-blue smoke, which instantly condensed into a huge bubble that wrapped the fur ball in mid-air.

"Meow!" Xizhi kicked his legs wildly in the bubble, his tail exploded into a dandelion shape, his round eyes narrowed into crescents, just like a proud cat demon who had stolen three pounds of Jueyun peppers. Zhongli's teacup was glowing with an amber halo, and a wisp of rock element silently supported the bubble that was about to fall, and caught the Night Stone ornament that rolled down from the top of the shelf - worthy of being the most expensive cat nanny in Teyvat.

Walnut took the opportunity to throw out the soul-binding lock, improved version, children's anti-lost traction rope, pink cat paw print limited edition. As soon as Xizhi's claws touched the ground, she was tied up like a snoring glutinous rice cake, and she didn't forget to rub Walnut's wrist with her furry head, and a coquettish tremor came out of her throat, as if it wasn't her who just destroyed the house.

The mechanical bird flapped its wings to avoid the flying bubbles. Zhongli formed a rock barrier with his fingertips to protect the remaining pages of the letter:

“——The influence of the Eye Hunting Order is still spreading, and the activities of the Fatui are becoming more rampant. During these days on the outlying island, I witnessed the government’s heavy taxes and the people’s complaints, which is in stark contrast to the peaceful and harmonious Liyue. However, there is no need to worry, I will respond cautiously and wait for the right opportunity to act.

Also: How is the little fur ball doing now? Has her injury improved? I hope she didn't cause a big mess in the Hall of Rebirth... Fortunately, Ah Huan's spiritual wisdom is temporarily suspended at this time, and she is acting on instinct like a little animal. Given her temperament, if she knew what Inazuma was doing here, she would definitely find it difficult to rest and recover from her injuries. When this matter is over, I will bring some tri-color dumplings and scarlet shrimp senbei to visit her. "

The last half of the sentence appeared in the air under the blessing of the rock element, and each word flashed a steady golden brown light - but it was too late. Xizhi suddenly broke free from his restraints, holding the leash in his mouth and running wildly around the yard. Each bubble thrown out by his tail reflected the inflated image of Walnut, just like a string of floating Q-version hall master emoticons. When Qiqi passed by with coconut milk, the bamboo curtain caught by the cat's claws "swish" opened, revealing the "Hanging Painting of the Underworld Sea Giant Beast Diving into the Sea" that Beidou asked Xizhi to bring back before leaving - there was still a half-dried squid tentacles stuck in the eye sockets of the skull.

"Meow~" Xizhi jumped onto the skull's eye sockets, and the skull under his claws suddenly sang the absurd "Qiuqiu Ballad" - the phonograph conch shell that Hutao had hidden for the Lantern Festival prank was activated. The little fur ball proudly wagged its tail and performed an impromptu cat-step dance on the skull's head. Every time the claws hit the skull, it would sing a note out of tune, turning the battle song into "Liyue Disco".

At 12:30 am, Hu Tao, who was soaking wet, took a shower again. After getting ready, she hugged Xi Zhi, who had been blown into a dandelion, and nestled on the soft couch. The fluff that Zhongli had dried with rock elements had a glazed sheen, and the cinnabar runes left on the tip of the tail flickered with his breathing, as if the cat's tail was inlaid with a circle of starlight. Xi Zhi curled up into a fur ball, with the pink and tender pads resting on the back of Hu Tao's hand. His snoring was three parts lazy and seven parts arrogant, as if he was saying, "I'll fight again tomorrow!"

"Sooner or later, this hall master will invent a bathtub that can prevent cats from jumping into the air!" Walnut poked the cat's paw pad and drew a wet chicken wearing a bamboo hat on the back of the reply letter. He also drew a small plum blossom on the chicken's wing: "Guest, tell Ying that Xizhi's bath today broke the annual decibel record of Wangsheng Hall - by the way, remind her to use waterproof ink when writing next time!"

Xizhi suddenly broke free from his embrace, dipped her claws in cinnabar and pressed a plum blossom on the blank space of the letter paper, and added a few claw marks stealthily, changing the "drowned chicken" into "drowned chicken fighting cat claw monster". When the mechanical bird took off with the letter, she squatted on Zhongli's shoulder, with a piece of dried fish tied to its tail and blue eyes blinking, as if to say, "Snack on the way, remember to give me a five-star rating."

Moonlight streamed through the messy bath room, and a bubble slowly floated towards Liyue Harbor. The bubble reflected the funny scene of Hu Tao accidentally blowing away her plum blossom hairpin with the wind element while blowing Xi Zhi's hair. The hairpin was inserted in Zhongli's bun, and it trembled as he poured tea. Xi Zhi rolled in the bubble, and his furry tail formed a heart shape, as if announcing to the whole of Teyvat: "Today's achievements: Destroyed a house x1, conquered the Rock God's hairstyle x1, harvested dried fish xN, and my cat life is perfect!"

"To travelers:

I have received your letter and I am very relieved to know that you have arrived safely on the island. The situation in Inazuma is turbulent and the movements of the Fools are treacherous, so we really need to pay more attention. However, I have always believed in your intelligence and strength. I only hope that you will take care of yourself when you act and don't put yourself in danger.

Xizhi's injuries have gradually improved recently. Although his intelligence has temporarily stopped, he is still as lively as usual. When he takes a bath, he often makes the people in the Hall of Rebirth restless. However, his innocent attitude also adds some vitality to the hall.

You don't need to worry, she is now free from worries, which is comforting. If she still had her mind and knew about the matter of her wife, it would be difficult for her to rest and recover. Now this is perhaps God's arrangement.

The master has been busy taking care of Xizhi these days. Although she complains from time to time, she actually enjoys it. If you have time, bring back Inazuma's specialties, the master and Xizhi will be very happy. Xizhi asked me to attach a piece of dried fish to comfort you for your journey. Although she has not recovered her wisdom, her concern for you seems to be deeply rooted in her instinct. I wish you all the best and a speedy return.

Sincerely, Zhongli
