Chapter 7 Gan Yu
"What the hell?!"
Liu Bai was thinking too seriously and he didn't notice that he stepped on empty air. He subconsciously let go of Nashida's hand and fell forward, rolling down the steps down the mountain.
"what……"
Nashida, who was caught off guard, let out a small cry of surprise and had to quickly follow, trying to use her elemental power to let the plants beside the mountain road catch Liu Bai.
However, this place was not far from the foot of the mountain. By the time Nashida took action, Liu Bai had already rolled to the foot of the mountain and fell to the ground in front of a blue-haired girl who happened to pass by.
"Ah... sir, are you okay?"
Holding a basket full of medicinal herbs called "Qingxin" in both hands, a blue-haired girl with two horns on her head squatted down worriedly and asked Liu Bai who fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, girl. I told you, I have no other abilities but my stubbornness!"
Liu Bai quickly climbed up from the ground, completely ignoring the scratched forehead, and spoke with a hint of pride after brushing the dust off his body.
"Girl? What is that...?"
Being called like this for no reason, the blue-haired girl carrying the Qingxin basket was a little surprised.
At this time, Nashida also hurriedly jumped down from a high place, and landed lightly behind Liu Bai. When she landed, it seemed as if flowers and plants were blooming next to her feet.
Because she had been imprisoned in Jingshan Palace, she was not very good at sports. When faced with how to get down the mountain quickly, she couldn't think of any way to be faster than gravity, so she simply jumped down.
"Are you okay? I'll help you heal."
Nashida landed next to Liu Bai and quickly raised her hands to try to heal the wound on his forehead.
Although he rolled down the mountain road, Liu Bai was a little embarrassed, and the wound on his forehead was just a simple scratch. After all, as Nashida said before, his physical strength should be very high.
"Oh, so you are here, girl. Sorry, young lady, I was dazzled and recognized the wrong person."
Feeling Nashida's soft fingers pressing on his head, Liu Bai suddenly realized what was going on. He quickly apologized to the blue-haired girl in front of him, and squatted down so that Nashida didn't have to stand on tiptoes to touch her forehead.
"It's okay, but I'm glad you're okay. I'm a little rushed, so I'll leave first."
The blue-haired girl shook her head. Seeing that Nashida was using elemental power to heal, she felt relieved. After saying something, she turned around and walked towards the city.
"Wait a minute, you blue-haired girl with horns! I have something to ask you!"
Seeing her turn around and leave, Liu Bai, who was squatting on the ground, hurriedly called out to her.
"A blue-haired girl with horns...? What an impolite way to address her. My name is Ganyu."
The blue-haired girl paused, then turned around and told Liu Bai her name in dissatisfaction.
"Okay Miss Ganyu, my name is Liu Bai, and this is my sister Liu Xida. This is our first time in Liyue. Can you tell me what we should do to see the God of Geo?"
The wound on Liu Bai's head had been healed. He immediately took Nashida's hand and followed the girl named Ganyu, then started asking questions directly.
Nashida: “……?”
Nashida grabbed Liu Bai's hand unconsciously with more force. It was obvious that she was not very satisfied with the name Liu Bai had temporarily given her.
"You want to see the Emperor? That might not be a coincidence. The ceremony of inviting the Immortal just ended last week. The next time will have to wait a year."
Seeing Liu Bai catching up with her, Gan Yu subconsciously held the Qingxin basket in her arms, and then answered while walking.
There was no need for Ganyu to hide something that was known to everyone in Liyue.
But she was a little confused. This boy looked like he belonged to Liyue, but why didn't he know the ritual of inviting the immortals... Could he be from Inazuma? But wasn't that country closed to the outside world?
"Ah? Then is there no other opportunity besides this ceremony of inviting the immortals?"
Hearing that a week had passed since the ceremony of inviting the immortals, Liu Bai scratched his head and asked Ganyu.
"No, the Emperor rarely appears before people now. Even the Seven Stars of Liyue may not have a chance to see him, let alone an ordinary person like you."
Ganyu shook her head and explained that although it was the first time she met Liu Bai, only ordinary people would accidentally roll to the foot of the mountain... right?
"That's it..."
Liu Bai muttered something, and his eyes suddenly fell on the basket in Ganyu's hand.
"What is this? A medicinal herb?"
Looking at the light green flowers, Liu Bai asked Ganyu curiously.
"It's a medicinal herb called Qingxin, a specialty of the Liyue region..."
Gan Yu subconsciously held the basket tightly in her arms, and then explained to Liu Bai.
Just as Ganyu finished speaking...
[The host encountered a noble half-immortal girl in the mountains. Since there was no one around, it was a good opportunity to do evil. The host decided...]
[A: Take Qingxin from Ganyu and escape successfully, and you will be rewarded with a "random item"]
[B: Use force to force Ganyu to hand over the gold and silver items on her body, and reward "Qilin Blood" and "A Large Bucket of Coconut Milk"]
[C: Kidnap Ganyu and use her to ask the Rock God for the Heart of God, reward "Random Skill" and trigger subsequent choices]
[D: Give up the choice and reward "Erasure"]
Just when Liu Bai was curious, the system suddenly popped up a new option.
"Option C is obviously a trap. You want me to go head-to-head with the Rock God, right?"
Liu Bai muttered to himself.
Although his brain is not working well, he is not stupid. Having a poor brain and being stupid are two different things.
He knew that the Rock attribute was very weak in the game, and he heard that only players who paid for the game could play it. But no matter how weak this Rock God was, if he was half as strong as his own Queen, he would definitely not be able to defeat him using normal means.
So I can only...
Liu Bai secretly looked at Gan Yu's chest.
In order to complete the Queen's assessment, he had already stolen some things from the six countries. These items didn't seem very valuable, so he didn't feel any psychological pressure at all...
Just as he was about to take action, Ganyu felt as if someone was staring at her chest, and she subconsciously held the basket in her arms tighter.
"...?!"
The next moment, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed Ganyu's chest.
Ganyu reacted at the critical moment. She was startled and quickly turned around to protect the basket and avoid Liu Bai's hand. Her long hair tied behind her fell on Liu Bai.
Liu Bai subconsciously wanted to grab Ganyu's hair, but Ganyu quickly turned away.
"What are you going to do?"
Ganyu turned around to avoid Liu Bai's hand, then quickly distanced herself from Qingxin with a vigilant look on her face. It was not easy to snatch her things in front of her, after all, she had the blood of an immortal.
Nashida was also shocked by Liu Bai's behavior, and quickly pulled down Liu Bai's thumb to stop him from doing anything rash.
“I picked this up!”
Liu Bai pointed his empty hand at Ganyu who was keeping some distance between them and suddenly shouted.
Gan Yu was stunned for a moment by his strange words, and the next moment she suddenly felt her arms empty. The basket she had been holding in her arms appeared in Liu Bai's hands without her knowing.
"Girl! Fuck off!"
While Ganyu was stunned, Liu Bai grabbed Nashida's hand and ran towards Liyue Harbor.
Ganyu looked down at her empty hands and was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
"Eh? Give Qingxin back to me!"
Gan Yu shouted angrily in the direction Liu Bai escaped.
Ganyu was so angry that someone snatched the food she had picked with her own hands. She took out her bow, aimed directly at Liu Bai, and pulled the bowstring. The ice elemental power gathered into a frost arrow with elemental fluctuations.
She had been working without sleep for several days and was forced to take a day off. She went out to pick the Qingxin fruits herself because she had nothing to do.
As a result, he was kidnapped just as he was about to return to Liyue Harbor!
Although a basket of Qingxin is not worth much, doing such a thing at the gate of Liyue Harbor under the rule of the Emperor is too disrespectful to the Emperor!
Thinking of this, Ganyu shot out the Frost Arrow with flashing white light without hesitation, and the arrow shot towards Liu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
She deliberately controlled the strength. This arrow would not kill him, but it would make him lose the ability to move for a short period of time.
"Fuck..."
Liu Bai felt the chill on his back and quickly pulled Nashida over and held her in his arms.
