Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

“So much Mora! We could never afford it! — And Mr. Zhongli, needless to say, could he?”

After being shocked, Paimon looked at Zhongli Dao.

Zhongli's reply was very brief and quick: "Indeed."

"That's really straightforward."

Ying complained.

After Zhongli gave his answer, Paimon helplessly recalled someone who both terrified and reassured him.

"What should we do... Sigh, this time, we'll have no choice but to ask the young master for help again..."

Seeing the anxious Ying, Paimon, and Zhongli, Huiyuan decided not to interfere with paying the bill.

After all, why pay for something yourself when you can have someone else pay? No, Dattaria is Huiyuan's wallet. If Dattaria pays, then Huiyuan has paid.

The three of them started discussing something. Huiyuan took care of Qiqi the whole time, stroking her head.

Bai Shu glanced at the unfamiliar girl "Lingling" who was stroking Qi Qi's head, and wondered why Qi Qi and she were so close.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

Before Huiyuan could answer, a meow came from the side.

"Meow~"

It was Mimi's voice. Bai Shu looked in the direction of the sound and spotted Mimi.

Mimi yawned, walked over to Huiyuan's side, and went back to sleep in the hairpin's grotto.

Bai Shu seemed to recall something and began to speculate as he looked at the girl in front of him.

(This black cat looks familiar... Oh, I remember now, two months ago, a man brought his cat to me for help. I healed it easily. The cat was seriously injured, so I asked Qiqi to take care of it for a month. After that, the cat and Qiqi became good friends. Later, there were rumors that this man had gained the favor of a hermit immortal in the mountains and received his inheritance...)

Before Bai Shu could think any further, Changsheng's serpentine eyes began to observe Huiyuan.

"Strange, it has a mortal body, yet it exudes an ethereal aura. The Eye of the Geo God, however, emanates a comforting wind element."

Bai Zhu was somewhat surprised upon hearing Chang Sheng's description.

(Is the rumor true?)

Previously, in order to make Huiyuan's sudden increase in strength seem more reasonable to ordinary people, the system issued the quest "Rumors," and the weapon "Leisurely and Relaxed" was the reward for this quest.

Bai Shu recalled the cat he had just seen, noting the location of the slight scar. He realized it was the same black cat he had rescued earlier, confirming it was the same cat.

But I'm still a little unsure if it's the same person. How could a man turn into a woman?

"Excuse me, miss, are you... related to that cat from earlier?"

"She and I are friends. My name is Lingling, but Mr. Baishu can also call me by my real name, 'Huiyuan.'"

Upon hearing the name, Bai Shu retrieved last month's account book and began searching.

It wasn't until he flipped to the names "Mimi" and "Huiyuan" that he realized the girl in front of him was the one from his memory.

"So it's you..."

"Mr. Bai Shu, thank you for saving my life. I have something to give you..."

As he spoke, Huiyuan took out 10 Senzu Beans and placed them on the wooden tray on the counter.

"This is...?"

Before Huiyuan could explain, Changsheng, observing, exclaimed in surprise.

"I have never seen beans with such an ethereal aura..."

After Changsheng finished exclaiming in amazement, Huiyuan finally had a chance to explain.

"These are magic beans, which can instantly heal injuries and keep you full for 10 days. I have no way to repay Mr. Baishu's life-saving grace, so please accept this."

Bai Shu had no reason to refuse the gift. After accepting it as a gift from a relative, she clasped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Hui Yuan.

"I deeply admire Your Excellency's spirit of 'returning a favor many times over.'"

The only person who could call Huiyuan by her real name while using her skin's appearance was Bai Shu. After all, he was her savior, and no matter how much she disliked being called by her boy's name after transforming into a girl, she couldn't offend her benefactor.

For Bai Shu, healing Huiyuan and Mimi was merely a casual gesture. The ten Senzu Beans Huiyuan gave him were equivalent to repaying him with ten lives. To him, this was repaying a small kindness with boundless gratitude.

While Huiyuan and Baizhu were chatting, Qiqi, who was next to them, unknowingly fell asleep.

It's important to understand that as a zombie, Qiqi is almost incapable of falling asleep. This inability to sleep is one reason for Qiqi's poor memory. Human memories are effectively stored during sleep. The fact that people dream is the best evidence to support this point.

Startled, Bai Shu quickly climbed over the counter and began to examine Qi Qi's body.

"Phew...what a scare."

"What's wrong?"

Looking at Bai Shu who had suddenly flipped over the counter, Huiyuan asked.

"Qiqi is a zombie, so she usually doesn't sleep and is unable to sleep. But... she's actually asleep now..."

The zombie had no heartbeat. Bai Shu placed his hand on Qi Qi's wrist and felt the flow of elements in Qi Qi's body before confirming that Qi Qi was not dead.

The longevity wrapped around Atractylodes macrocephala's neck observed for a while and then gave its own conclusion.

"Could it be that the wind elemental energy emanating from Miss Lingling caused Qiqi to fall asleep?"

As previously described, when Lingling's skin is in its natural state, Huiyuan exudes a very comfortable, wind-elemental aura.

It feels like being in an air-conditioned room in summer, very cool. Or like being in a kotatsu in winter, very warm.

Bai Shu didn't say much, but simply carried Qi Qi to the chair next to him.

ten minutes later......

While Paimon, Ying, and Zhongli were discussing something, the young master received a message from his subordinates and rushed over.

All that could be heard was the young master's loud laughter coming from the doorway.

"Hahahahahahaha—! Coconut Sheep...Coconut Sheep! This is so funny, you guys actually got tricked by this thing!"

Seeing the young master laughing loudly, Pai Meng was furious.

"Stop gloating!"

"Oh, I'm almost laughing to tears. Alright, to thank you for making me so happy, I'll resolve all the issues. This... Mr. Bai Shu, right? I am the executor of the Fools, young master. If you don't mind, we can cooperate more in the future. If Bu Bu Lu needs anything, the Fools can help establish a fast supply channel for coconut milk."

Changsheng climbed back onto Baishu's neck from Qiqi's body, and was displeased upon hearing the young master's words.

"Hmm? I've heard that the Fools' Clan tries to win over 'friends in the underworld,' but can 'Bu Bu Lu' be bought off with just coconut milk...?"

Qiqi, who was sleeping on the chair, dreamed of endless coconut milk because the young master was talking too loudly, and happily started talking in her sleep.

"Coconut milk, coconut milk, delicious coconut milk."
