Transmigrating to the world of Genshin Impact and becoming a big shot.
Chapter 53 Brother, I miss you.
Zhao Chuan strode through the air, each step causing the air currents to become chaotic, as if the air itself had materialized and become his stepping stones. At this moment, he was slowly strolling in mid-air, gazing at the breathtaking scenery of Qingyun Peak.
At midday, Qingyun Peak offers a breathtaking panoramic view. Surrounded by mountains, the distant peaks are half-hidden in mist, hazy and ethereal, their pure white hue contrasting sharply with the towering, cloud-piercing peaks that rise majestically into the sky. From this vantage point, one can overlook the boundless grasslands and the rolling mountains in the distance – a picturesque scene that soothes the soul.
"I've been here for so long, and I've never been able to calm down and appreciate such beautiful scenery. Ah, nature's gifts are truly the most heartwarming."
Zhao Chuan stood with his hands behind him, suspended in mid-air, exhaling a long breath as he quietly admired the scene.
However, this peaceful time was soon broken. The quiet atmosphere was filled with cries for help echoing throughout the mountains. Zhao Chuan was not idle, because this was the place where immortals lived, and if the tranquility was disturbed, the immortals would be angry.
At this moment, under a pavilion in the deep clouds, a man, a woman, and a child with a talisman pasted on their forehead were surrounded by a group of Hilichurls exuding demonic energy.
The young pharmacist carrying a basket was Agui from Bubulu, the girl was a pharmacy apprentice named Alin from Bubulu, and the one holding a single-handed sword was protecting the two men and women behind him.
"A-Gui, what should I do? I don't want to die!"
Ah Lin shook Ah Gui's arm, filled with fear and unease.
"Qiqi, how many can you handle?"
Agui ignored Alin's words and asked with his head down.
"Qiqi...I don't know...Qiqi feels...they...are very powerful, Qiqi...is not confident..."
The child with the talisman stuck to his forehead stammered.
As soon as one of the Hilichurls shouted, the other Hilichurls swarmed towards Qiqi and his group.
"Help—help me!"
Having witnessed this scene, Arina crouched down on the ground, covered his head, and shouted. This shout caused quite a commotion, and the startled birds and the treasure-hunting group all heard it.
Several dark-skinned Hilichurls, with only a piece of cloth wrapped around their waists, their muscular bodies exposed, suddenly raised their hands and swung them at Qiqi and the others.
Qiqi fought back with all her might, but being short and stiff, she was quickly knocked away by the Hilichurl.
Just as Alin was about to encounter danger, a bolt of lightning instantly turned the two Hilichurls next to Alin into ashes.
"You all, stand back now!"
The once clear sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and a fierce roar. However, this had no effect whatsoever on the Hilichurls infected by the black mist; they had long since lost consciousness, leaving only their brutal attacks.
"Those who do not heed advice shall be punished by death."
Then, bolts of lightning struck the Hilichurls who were surrounding Qiqi and the others in a regular pattern.
The treasure-hunting group, who had heard the commotion nearby, were rushing towards the scene when they saw a small cluster of dark clouds gathering and frantically striking the same spot. Terrified, they fled in panic.
"It was an immortal! It was an immortal who saved us! Thank you, immortal!"
Alin instantly realized what was happening, and knelt on the ground with deep gratitude, saying to Zhao Chuan in the sky, "If it weren't for the immortal saving us, I'm afraid..."
"Cough cough, Qiqi, are you alright?"
Ignoring his own wounds, Agui picked up Qiqi, who was still some distance away, and said...
"Qiqi...it's alright, Qiqi...is...a zombie, Qiqi...is not afraid of pain."
Qiqi stood up, straightened the talisman on her forehead and her hat, shook her head at Agui, and said.
"That's good."
Agui breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Agui, you're injured. I think I have some gauze and medicinal wine in my bag. Let me bandage it for you."
Ah Lin also came over, and seeing the bruises all over Ah Gui's arm, he felt a little heartbroken.
"I'm fine. Luckily, I had the help of a celestial being, otherwise I would have died today."
Agui breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, silently expressing his gratitude.
"Yes."
Alin responded and raised his arm to begin wiping and bandaging.
On the other side...
"Ding, hidden mission completed, you have earned 1,000 points and a Beauty Pill."
While still flying through the air, Zhao Chuan heard the system's reminder in his consciousness, but he ignored it and continued flying towards Liyue Harbor.
Yujingtai...
At this moment, Grandma Ping was tenderly caring for the glass lily before her, her eyes filled with gentleness and love. The glass lily shone brightly in the sunlight, and her smile was as warm as a spring breeze. It was as if this flower was her most precious treasure, a memory from the past. In this moment, time seemed to stand still; only Grandma Ping and the glass lily shared this peaceful and beautiful moment.
But the peaceful moment was always so short. Zhao Chuan slowly landed, dissipated his spiritual power, and walked towards Granny Ping's direction.
"Good afternoon, Grandma Ping."
Zhao Chuan greeted Grandma Ping with a smile.
"It's you, little guy. What brings you to visit this old woman today?"
Grandma Ping put down the watering can and walked to the table where the teapot was placed, saying...
"Yeah, I just got back not long ago. Oh, by the way, I brought you some local specialties from Sumeru. I don't know if you'll like them."
Zhao Chuan scratched the back of his head awkwardly, then took out the Dun Dun peaches he had picked in the wild when he first arrived in Sumeru from his storage ring.
Time is restricted within the storage space, so Zhao Chuan took out a bag of fresh peaches and placed it on Grandma Ping's table.
"Hehe, you're so thoughtful, you still remember this old woman."
Grandma Ping smiled, her face full of wrinkles, and slowly looked up at the handsome young man, nodding in agreement.
"Oh, Grandma Ping, what are you saying? You are also a veteran of Liyue Harbor. The people of Liyue will always remember your contributions."
Zhao Chuan took the teacup handed to him by Grandma Ping, took a sip, and said...
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, the era of human rule has arrived. It's time for us immortals to retire to the mountains and forests. Whether it's me or Liuyun, now is the time to enjoy a peaceful and carefree life."
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, the era of human rule has arrived, and it's time for us immortals to retire to the mountains and forests. Whether it's me or Liuyun, now is the time to enjoy a peaceful and carefree life."
Grandma Ping gazed at the distant dock, an endless sadness welling up in her heart, memories flooding back like a tide.
She recalled the past, the wonderful times spent with her dearest friends, as if they were still vivid in her mind. However, time is merciless, and everything has become a thing of the past. Now, seeing the prosperous Liyue Harbor, she was also immersed in the past.
After chatting with Grandma Ping for a while, Zhao Chuan inquired about his sister's address.
To prevent Yao Yao from running off with Jiang Li, Grandma Ping specially assigned the two little ones a task: to help Xiang Ling find ingredients. With Xiang Ling, her eldest disciple, watching over them, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Grandma Ping arranged for Jiang Li to stay in a small house behind the Liuli Pavilion, and told Zhao Chuan that Jiang Li would be home late, and asked him to wait in the small house first.
At this moment, Zhao Chuan found Jiang Li's small house based on the address provided by Grandma Ping. Meanwhile, the sky was gradually enveloped by the afterglow of dusk.
"It's getting late. I wonder if Grandma Ping's eldest apprentice has fed them yet. I heard he's a great chef. I'd better go buy some groceries to cook for my sister."
Zhao Chuan looked at the dark yet cozy little house in front of him, nodded, and turned to walk towards the dock.
At this moment, the bustling streets and the darkening sky have been replaced by the myriad lights of Liyue Harbor.
"Boss, do you want to buy fish?"
"Boss, look over here, the jade here is top-notch."
"My friend, look at this phonograph machine I have here. It's the latest model imported from Fontainebleau. It's absolutely authentic. Would you like to take a look?"
As Zhao Chuan walked down the street, he heard most of the shop owners inviting him to look at their merchandise with fake smiles. He was dressed in a black and white long robe, with a white outer robe embroidered with green bamboo and a black long skirt with unique patterns. However, in theory, such clothes would not be very eye-catching on the street at night.
Zhao Chuan ignored them, bought some vegetables casually, and went home.
Yujingtai...
"Master chef, we're back."
A woman with braided hair tied with a bow, wearing a tight-fitting, slit cheongsam that accentuated her curves and slender waist, called out loudly to Grandma Ping.
"Xiangling is back. Yes, it's good that you're all back."
Grandma Ping responded kindly.
Good evening, Master.
A little girl with a high ponytail, wearing a blue and white low-cut tight dress, jumped out from behind the girl named Xiangling and said to Grandma Ping with a smile.
"Good evening, Xiao Li. What did you learn from your senior sister today?"
Grandma Ping lovingly stroked Jiang Li's hair as she spoke.
"Master, I saw some really big jelly, some green and some blue. Senior Sister Xiangling even let me use the Ice Element to freeze popsicles to eat them, hehehe."
Jiang Li happily gestured about everything that had happened to her that day, but Xiang Ling was stunned. She awkwardly covered Jiang Li's mouth and looked at Grandma Ping with a smile, thinking to herself, "This junior sister tells me everything. She's going to get me into big trouble."
"Hmm? Xiangling, is what my little apprentice said true? You took her out for ice cream on such a cold day, what if she gets sick?"
Grandma Ping tapped Xiangling on the head and said angrily.
"Oh dear, Master Chef~ I know I was wrong."
Xiangling scratched her head awkwardly and said coquettishly.
"Alright, Jiang Li, you should go home now. Something's come up at your house today. I'm going to teach your senior sister a lesson."
Grandma Ping gently rubbed Jiang Li's face and said softly.
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Li nodded and turned to leave.
"No, junior sister, save me."
Xiangling spoke to Jiang Li with regret and sorrow.
Yao Yao, who was about the same height as Jiang Li and was carrying a basket on her back, watched the scene in a daze.
Hearing his senior sister call him, he turned around, made a face at Xiangling, and ran away.
When Jiang Li arrived at her doorstep, she found the house brightly lit, which aroused her suspicion. In addition, Grandma Ping had something to do at home, so she slowed her pace and quietly pushed open the door.
But then she saw a variety of dishes on the guest table. The rich aroma made Jiang Li lower her guard, but in the blink of an eye, she saw Zhao Chuan carrying out the last dish.
"Hey, Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Aren't you happy to see me?"
Zhao Chuan looked at the ice cone that Jiang Li had condensed in her hand and asked in confusion.
"Brother... Brother... You're finally back. I... I missed you so much."
Looking at the familiar boy in front of her, Jiang Li felt a surge of resentment and sorrow. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was filled with sobs. She stammered and then hugged Zhao Chuan's leg.
"Silly girl~ How could I not want you?"
Zhao Chuan picked up Jiang Li and gently patted her back, offering tender comfort.
"Brother...where...where did you go..."
Jiang Li said, sobbing.
"Don't cry, little sister... I need to become stronger to protect you. You won't blame me, will you?"
Zhao Chuan sighed, recalling the near-death experiences he had gone through.
"My sister doesn't blame me. She's gotten stronger too. I can now control elemental power. Can I travel with her now?"
Jiang Li wiped away her tears and said to her brother with anticipation.
"Xiao Li is really amazing, but the outside world is still too dangerous. But I promise you, I'll take you there when I can beat your senior sister, okay?"
Zhao Chuan picked up Jiang Li and said with a doting expression.
"Okay, then you promised, brother, you can't lie to me."
Jiang Li clapped her hands and kissed Zhao Chuan on the cheek.
After dinner, Zhao Chuan and Jiang Li went to rest.
But we talked a lot while we were sleeping and then I drifted off to sleep.
