Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Centuries later, Qi Qi, who was trapped in amber, was finally discovered and sent to the "Hall of Rebirth" for burial.

The mountain road was rugged and difficult to traverse, and the amber inevitably suffered some bumps and knocks. In addition, over the years, Qiqi's seal was actually almost completely dissipated.

Hu Tao looked at Qi Qi inside the amber and mourned silently.

"I am Walnut, the 77th head of the 'Hall of Rebirth'. I will now conduct your funeral. May you rest in peace."

Inside the amber, Qiqi vaguely heard someone calling her name, "Qiqi," and regained consciousness. But it was just a hallucination. Hu Tao was talking about the seventy-seventh generation hall master. What a coincidence! The little girl inside the amber was named Qiqi, just one character different from seventy-seven.

Hearing the voice coming from outside the amber, Qiqi only heard her own name, "Qiqi," and the last two words.

(rest in peace?)

While Qiqi slept in amber, her dim divine eye suddenly lit up.

(I am Qiqi...)

The long-dormant body was suddenly awakened, but the memories seemed to be frozen, leaving only instinct and a sense of familiarity with one's own name.

(Qiqi, I don't want to die...)

Qiqi slowly opened her eyes, looked at Hu Tao who had turned her back outside the amber, secretly broke the amber, and ran away.

Walnut only discovered the little girl was missing when the ceremony was over and it was time to bury the amber.

Following her lifelong habit of gathering medicinal herbs, Qiqi headed straight for the mountains and forests.

Along the way, she met Bai Shu, the owner of the herbal medicine shop "Bu Bu Lu," who took her in.

Bai Zhu was a skilled physician, but not a person of high moral character or courage.

Even so, he still insisted on keeping Qiqi, even though she had a terrible memory and would make mistakes when preparing medicinal herbs.

Bai Zhu's tolerance of Qi Qi seems to be related to his personal pursuits.

Qi Qi was stiff but not oblivious; she had already noticed it. However, she didn't take it to heart.

Whether it's because she's experienced too much or been lonely for too long... even if there are ulterior motives behind the "good intentions," it's still something to cherish for Qiqi.

......

Back to the main topic, as the group walked along the road, Huiyuan suddenly spotted a roadside shop selling "coconut milk" and decided to buy a few boxes to bring to Qiqi, and then follow them later.

So Zhongli, Ying, and Pai Meng first arrived at Bubu Lu, only to find no one there.

Paimon couldn't help but shudder.

"Hey, there's no one at the counter, and the atmosphere is a bit strange... Excuse me—is the owner here?"

A little girl's tender voice came from somewhere, startling Paimon.

"welcome."

"Hey━Σ(?Д?|||)━, did you guys... hear where that sound came from just now...?"

Zhongli looked towards the counter.

"It seems to be over at the counter."

Looking at the empty counter, Paimon was too scared to approach.

"This, this... why don't you go and take a look first, traveler?"

Ying walked over, and Paimon mustered his courage to follow. As they got closer to the counter, their eyes nervously fixed on what lay ahead.

Suddenly a head popped out, startling the two of them.

The head gradually raised and looked at the crowd.

Paimon and Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief upon discovering it was just a little girl.

Looking at the little girl at the counter, who was so short that she had to stand on tiptoe to barely show her eyes, Paimon started to complain.

"So this is where it is! It's not even as tall as the counter!"

After realizing it wasn't a ghost or anything like that, Ying dared to joke with Paimon.

"Actually, in terms of height, Paimon is taller..."

"Hey! I fly, so height doesn't matter."

The atmosphere gradually lightened as the two joked around.

Paimon looked at the little girl, whose face was somewhat pale, with a talisman on her forehead and wearing a very old-fashioned hat, and felt a little eerie.

"Speaking of which, doesn't she look a bit strange? She has a talisman on her forehead... Could she be... a 'zombie'?!"

The little girl in front of her looked a bit naive. After thinking for a while, she finally remembered what she wanted to say.

"Welcome to 'Unpredictable Hermitage,' I am Qi Qi. Qi Qi has already died once. Later, I was saved by an immortal. So, I am a zombie."

Looking at Xiao Qiqi, who looked a little creepy but had a soft and sweet voice, Ying couldn't help but complain.

"He stated the unbelievable in a calm tone... No wonder it's called the 'Land of Gods'..."

"In Mondstadt, this kind of thing is completely unimaginable..."

Just as Ying and Paimon were complaining, Zhongli walked over.

Looking at the stunned Qi Qi in front of him, even Zhong Li didn't know how to start the conversation, so he tentatively asked.

"Excuse me... little friend, do you sell 'preservative incense' in your shop?"

Qiqi spoke haltingly, but thankfully, they could still communicate.

"Excuse me... do you have the prescription? Please bring it to me."

Even though Zhongli is the Rock Demon God and has lived for thousands of years, he has rarely seen such a strange scene.

It's impossible for Zhongli to say he's never seen a zombie. He just hasn't seen a zombie that can talk and maintain its sanity.

Qiqi's special case is extremely rare, occurring only once in a million years. There is only a one in a hundred billion chance that, through sheer coincidence, she could retain her instincts and memories from her previous life after becoming a zombie.

"So...if you're buying 'Eternal Life Incense,' you don't need a prescription, right? It has nothing to do with curing illnesses..."

Zhongli looked at Qiqi in front of him, unsure of how to begin.

Qiqi felt a headache coming on and rubbed her forehead.

"If you have a prescription, Qiqi can help you get the medicine. This is a 'decree' that Qiqi gave herself."

(To buy medicine, you need a prescription. For incense, you don't need a prescription. But to buy medicine, you need a prescription...)

Qiqi's brain entered an infinite loop of thought, like a newly invented calculator that could never divide zero by one infinitely. Without a loop-breaking program, the computer would keep calculating indefinitely.

Ying heard a new word and looked at Zhongli curiously.

“An imperial edict?”

"The zombie operation requires an order. But for some reason, this child is issuing orders to himself."

After explaining, Zhongli looked at the magical little zombie in front of him and tried to communicate with it again.

"Little Qiqi, we don't have a prescription, but we hope you can help us find 'Eternal Life Incense'."

Qiqi, whose computer had just crashed with a blue screen, suddenly became able to communicate again.

"sure."

Paimon looked at Qiqi as if he were looking at a phone that "would never charge no matter what it was thrown on the bed and suddenly started charging," and was astonished.

"Huh? How come it's working all of a sudden?"

"But you should also help Qiqi, that's the only way to be fair."

Paimon started complaining.

"Is it really unfair for shop assistants to help customers?!"
