Chapter 32: One Day Before the Immortal Invitation Ceremony (1)
The last chapter said that after Tianhe left the Wangsheng Hall, it was already noon. He found a restaurant nearby and had a meal. Tianhe thought about it and decided to go to Yujingtai first, well, to Bubulu first.
As for why he went to Bubulu? First, to meet Mr. Baishu (zhu), although he didn't know if he had become a girl; second, of course, to see Qiqi. It would be unreasonable not to meet this zombie loli with a tragic life story after coming to Liyue; third, to see if he could meet Yuhengxing Keqing. After all, he didn't think he would meet Tianquan Ningguang from Qunyu Pavilion at this critical moment of the Summoning Immortals Ceremony. Instead, Yuhengxing Keqing was the most likely person for him to meet.
So with these reasons, Tianhe headed towards Yujingtai. Of course, his whereabouts were also known by several major forces in Liyue, among which Tianquan Ningguang and Princess Dadalia were the largest political forces.
"Heading to Yujingtai? It seems like it's time to meet this young man." Ningguang muttered, and then said loudly: "Baiwen, Baishi, Baixiao, the three of you follow me to meet Tianhe." The three girls hurriedly followed and echoed: "Yes, Lord Tianquan/Lord Ningguang." After Ye Lan's previous inquiries and Ye Lan's words that she liked Tianhe, Ningguang became more and more curious about Tianhe, but she didn't think that if a woman became curious about a man, it was a sign of his fall, and Ningguang could not escape this law.
On the other side, inside the Northland Bank, Dadalia also learned of this information. She looked puzzled and a little uneasy inside. She couldn't help but mutter a few words: "Why did my best friend go in the direction of Yujingtai? Maybe she went to Bubulu to buy medicine to treat injuries. Hahaha, it seems that my best friend felt that she couldn't beat me, so she went to buy medicine." This beautiful martial arts fanatic has an IQ, but not a lot. At least her IQ seems to have dropped when she thinks of Tianhe.
At this time, Keqing was indeed handling matters related to the Immortal Invitation Ceremony at Yujing Terrace. Although she kept repeating these words: "If you waste too much time, you won't be able to finish your work. Whether it's adventure or business, opportunities are fleeting." However, she also learned the news from her subordinates. Was the young man the traveler Tianhe from Mondstadt? Maybe he could help her. At this time, Keqing still longed for human rule, but she had to admit that the Emperor had paid too much for Liyue, so she hoped that people would be able to make their own decisions one day.
The three political forces are almost simultaneously paying attention to Tianhe, a young man from another world. Let us wait and see what kind of storm this butterfly from another world can stir up in Liyue by flapping its wings.
Tianhe arrived at Yujingtai at 1pm. He took advantage of the fact that there were not many people around at noon and quickly reached Yujingtai through the teleportation anchor point, because the city of Liyue Port was dozens of times larger than before. It took another half an hour to reach the entrance of Bubulu. However, after Tianhe entered Bubulu, he found that it was dozens of times larger than before, and there were several more pharmacists like Agui.
Of course Tianhe also saw the zombie loli he had been thinking about, Qiqi, and the master of Bubu Lulu, Bai Shu ~ Well, she was indeed feminized. Bai Shu had long green hair and golden half-frame glasses. Her long hair was fixed with hairpins. There was also a snake named Changsheng hanging on her body. She looked elegant and easy-going, but she was pale, and looked like a sickly beauty.
"Hey, this wonderful feeling?" Bai Shu didn't expect that after a young man stepped into this place, a strange energy was constantly strengthening her physique and replenishing her vitality. In other words, it was to prolong her life! And there were no side effects. This made her feel pleasantly surprised and full of affection for this young man, but she didn't understand why he would treat her for no reason. Although Tianhe didn't know how to turn it off, after all, this was a passive skill, which was only open to those who needed it and were recognized by Ali.
Originally, Bai Shu was taught by Chen Yugu, and this lineage was pure in nature. They all signed a contract with the immortal beast Changsheng, and were attracted by this miracle of defying life and death. Bai Shu did not want the later generations to have a short life due to the contract, nor did she want Changsheng to die due to losing the contract, so she studied all kinds of poisons and diseases to achieve the legendary immortality. She was greedy, but she was greedy for the sake of healing the world and saving people.
Most of the medicines in Bubulu are reasonably priced, and they emphasize small profits but quick turnover. This is also Baizhu's original intention. However, the Yongshengxiang in the main storyline is an exception. But people who need this kind of product will not be sensitive to quality and efficiency. Bubulu will never damage its own reputation.
Tianhe did not expect that the Baishu Lu master was not surprised by his arrival, but his eyes were shining, that was the light of seeing the treasure. "Hello, young man, what is your name and why are you here?" Baishu's tone was gentle. She treated all visitors the same, but for someone like Tianhe who could heal her and replenish her vitality, it was worth her receiving him personally.
Tianhe clenched his fist with one hand, then rested his chin on it. After thinking for a while, he put it down and said to Bai Shu, "My name is Tianhe, and I'm a traveler. I came to Liyue Harbor from Mondstadt not long ago. I heard that the owner of Bubu Lu is a doctor who helps people, so I wanted to visit him in person, make friends, and get to know this kid." Tianhe looked at Qiqi. He was deeply touched by this loli with a miserable life, but he didn't know how Qiqi felt about him now.
"Well, this~feeling, Qiqi, likes it, Tianhe." Qiqi is very attached to this feeling. This energy is also constantly healing Qiqi and enhancing Qiqi's memory. But it will definitely take some time. "Why don't you, Mr. Baishu, take Qiqi and I to a room to have a good chat."
"Well, sure, Changsheng, what do you think?" "This young man has no ill intentions. Perhaps he really just wants to get to know you and Qiqi. However, he is very mysterious, but he can indeed replenish the lost vitality in your body, prolong your life, and even have an impact on Qiqi." Changsheng was a little confused, but still accepted it. After all, throughout the ages, there have been endless talented people. Being able to make friends with this person may be of great help to her in achieving the immortal state she has always dreamed of in the future.
Of course, it turned out that she was right, but that's all for later. Bai Shu took Qi Qi with him, and Tian He walked side by side with her. Bai Shu opened a room, and judging from the facilities, this was Bai Shu's own boudoir. "I didn't fulfill my courtesy, and I didn't entertain him well. I'm sorry." Bai Shu felt a little distressed that he didn't entertain this guest well in advance, but he still apologized to him.
"It's okay, I came too early and didn't have enough time to prepare. However, Miss Bai Shu, I can see that you want to achieve immortality in a certain sense, to ensure that Changsheng will not die due to the loss of the contract, to fulfill one of your own goals. But I can help you with this, and there is no price. I can also help Qiqi, but I want to sign a contract with you." Tianhe calmly stated the fact that could shatter other people's worldviews. Bai Shu had always longed for immortality, and there was no price.
"Well, Tianhe, why don't you listen to what kind of contract you plan to sign with me?" Tianhe pointed at Bai Zhu, "I want you." Bai Shu pointed at himself uncertainly, and Tianhe nodded, "Okay, I agree to this contract." Bai Zhu agreed directly. After all, Tianhe can help him achieve eternal life, fulfill his wish, and help Qiqi, it's a win-win situation.
"However, what you pay is not proportional to the return." Bai Shu said uncertainly. How could his value be equal to immortality? Tianhe replied: "I naturally recognize your beauty, and I think it is fair for a saint who is willing to save the world and sign a contract with the immortal beast Changsheng to save more people." After hearing this, Bai Shu made a contract with Tianhe. As the god of contract, Zhong Li naturally saw it and of course she agreed to the contract. This was attributed to Zhong Li's recognition of Bai Shu's character and ability.
"The contract has been signed. Those who break their promises shall be punished by the rock-eating." "Then, Bai Shu, can I call you by your name?" "Yes, Tianhe." Bai Shu never thought that one day she would find her future significant other on the road to immortality. She did not resist the young man's almost confession of love, but rather wanted to accept it. Changsheng naturally saw it, but Bai Shu's immortality would also benefit her, and she might even be able to transform into a human in the future.
Tianhe asked A-li to activate the maximum power of the healing effect. Baishu's vitality was already very strong, and his face turned from pale to rosy. Qiqi also recovered her memory very quickly because she had undergone the maximum healing of this aura, and her limbs could move fluently. So Qiqi remembered the name Tianhe in her heart and spoke fluently. "Tianhe, Qiqi likes you and will never forget you." Tianhe didn't expect that he would be confessed by a zombie in Liyue, and then touched Qiqi's little head. Although Qiqi didn't understand this action, she liked it very much, and rubbed against Tianhe like a kitten.
After talking with Bai Zhu and Qi Qi, Tian He opened the cave heaven authority for Bai Zhu and Qi Qi after obtaining their consent. Finally, Tian He said goodbye to Bai Zhu and Qi Qi and left Bu Bulu. He walked towards Yue Hai Pavilion. He wanted to see if he could meet Yu Heng Star there. However, the vigorous Ke Qing was about to go to Yue Hai Pavilion to entrust Gan Yu, the secretary general of Qi Xing, to do something. She did not expect Tian He to go to Yue Hai Pavilion after going to Bu Bulu.
We don’t know what kind of story Keqing and Tianhe will perform at the moment. To know what the subsequent story of Tianhe will be, let’s listen to the author’s explanation next time!
