Chapter 10 Bai Zhu

Feng Yi: I borrowed goat milk from a Qilin, why are you blushing?

Could it be that Ganyu is a Qilin?!

This audacious thought startled him.

No way! No way! Ganyu is a descendant of a Qilin, how could she be a Qilin?

Feng Yi tried to convince himself as he watched the retreating figure.

If Qiqi wanted Ganyu's goat milk, he couldn't do that!

He had been out for too long; it was time to go back.

If he couldn't find a Qilin, he would just have to wait for Baizhu from Bubu Pharmacy to return with the medicine.

On his way back, Feng Yi casually picked two wild coconuts from the coconut trees by the sea.

He couldn't get goat milk, but coconut milk would have to do!

Hu Tao, Qiqi, I'm back!

Feng Yi found his way back to Bubu Pharmacy. The moment he entered, he saw two little girls staring at each other, their eyes wide.

Hu Tao, what's wrong?

Feng Yi was puzzled. What was the beef between these two?

One is a Pyro Vision holder!

One is a Cryo Vision holder!

Natural enemies!

One is a zombie!

One is the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!

Natural born rivals!

One day, I'll bury her!

Hu Tao gritted her teeth and said.

Hu Tao is so scary.

Qiqi said softly, as if seeing her natural predator.

Sorry, Qiqi, Hu Tao was just joking with you!

Feng Yi helplessly pinched Hu Tao's cheek. It wasn't convenient here; he'd tell Hu Tao about Qiqi's tragic past later.

Mr. Feng Yi is a good person.

Qiqi hid behind Feng Yi, peeking at Hu Tao's reaction.

Seeing that Hu Tao was no longer staring at her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiqi, I didn't find a Qilin to borrow goat milk from. I wonder if this coconut milk can help you!

Feng Yi handed the coconuts he had picked to Qiqi.

It's this coconut milk! Qiqi likes this coconut milk!

Qiqi's eyes curved into crescent moons. Seeing the actual item, she realized she had misspoken earlier.

Qiqi! Is this the goat milk you were talking about?!

Feng Yi's mouth twitched. If only she had said so earlier! Why did he go looking for a Qilin?

Not only did he waste time, but he also seemed to have offended Ganyu.

It was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to speak of his suffering.

In a few days, he'd find time to apologize to Ganyu!

Qiqi, do you remember the prescription now?

After Qiqi finished drinking the coconut milk, Feng Yi asked.

Mmm, let me think. Cinnabar, Ziziphus Jujuba seed, Dragon Bone, and what else? Qiqi can't remember.

Qiqi hugged her little head, trying hard to recall, but she just couldn't remember the name of the last ingredient.

Qiqi, don't rush, think slowly!

After all, there's no use in rushing such things.

The last ingredient is Bai Zi Ren! Are you trying to procure herbs to nourish the soul?

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door. Stepping into the pharmacy was Baizhu, the owner of Bubu Pharmacy.

Baizhu had long green hair, and a white snake coiled around his neck.

Wearing glasses, Baizhu looked as gentle as a spring breeze, exuding an air of refined elegance.

If Feng Yi didn't know Baizhu's true nature, he might have been captivated by the aura Baizhu displayed.

Ah! It's Boss Baizhu!

Qiqi, hearing the familiar voice, looked up and saw Baizhu had returned. She no longer had to rack her brain to recall the prescription!

Precisely! I am Feng Yi. Because my friend Hu Tao's soul is slightly injured, I've come to procure some herbs to nourish it.

Feng Yi smiled kindly. Although he had unfavorable suspicions about Baizhu, he maintained a friendly demeanor, as if delighted to make his acquaintance.

Life is like a play, it's all about acting!

Feng Yi remembered his mentor's teachings from his past life: If you can get along harmoniously with people you dislike, it means you've truly matured!

Mature individuals can control their emotions reasonably.

Acting rashly?

That's something only impulsive, reckless youngsters would do!

My apologies! I was out on business and returned late. Did I keep you waiting? Did Qiqi cause you any trouble? I'll prepare the medicine for you both now!

Baizhu said as he headed towards the medicine cabinet. Today, they had a major customer!

Herbs for nourishing the soul are not cheap!

This batch of business would sustain Bubu Pharmacy for three years!

Not at all! Qiqi is very cute and well-behaved!

If only she hadn't confused coconut milk with goat milk!

Feng Yi swallowed the rest of his sentence.

That will be two million Mora, thank you for your patronage!

Baizhu's hands moved like phantoms as he prepared the medicine, packaging three bags in just a minute.

These herbs have been accumulating for over ten years. Finally, a big spender has arrived, I can't let them slip away!

How much?!

Feng Yi's hand, reaching for the herbs, stopped mid-air. He wished he had misheard.

Yes! Sir, you heard correctly, it's two million Mora!

As if seeing through Feng Yi's thoughts, Baizhu smiled faintly.

My shop has always operated with integrity, fair prices, and honesty. You can verify this with the Ministry of Civil Affairs!

Baizhu didn't care if Feng Yi could afford it or not; there were ways to deal with those who couldn't.

Feng Yi: You don't need to hide it anymore! Tell me, do you have other side businesses? Are you a bandit?!

Feng Yi had heard that Liyue's economy was experiencing some inflation, but two million Mora for three bags of medicine?

This was faster than robbing a bank!

Allow me to enlighten you. The Dragon Bone ingredient in the prescription is already scarce. My shop has collected it for many years to barely accumulate a small amount. I have absolutely not overcharged you.

Baizhu noticed Feng Yi's hand starting to retract and began to explain. His skill in manipulating people had reached its peak!

Just as Feng Yi hesitated, Hu Tao tugged at his sleeve.

Feng Yi, there's no need for medicine. A period of rest will suffice for recovery!

Feng Yi turned around and met Hu Tao's sensible gaze, his heart softening.

Just then, Baizhu's lips curved into a smile, and he adjusted his glasses, adding the final touch.

In my opinion, young lady Hu Tao's soul injury is quite severe. If not treated promptly, it will leave lasting damage in the future.

Baizhu seemed certain Feng Yi would agree, speaking unhurriedly.

I'll buy it! You idiot, this two million Mora is worthless compared to your health!

Feng Yi patted Hu Tao's head, deciding to make the purchase.

The more sensible Hu Tao was, the more uncomfortable he felt, as Hu Tao's injury was his doing.

This money might even be reimbursed!

As the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, doesn't Hu Tao have at least two million Mora?

Furthermore, Rex Lapis, the wealthiest God in Teyvat, is an guest consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!

Feng Yi wouldn't do something without a fallback plan!

Mr. Baizhu, I don't have that much cash on me at the moment.

No problem, how about a work contract?

Baizhu had anticipated this scenario. He had already prepared a contract of servitude for Feng Yi, to be paid off through labor until the debt was cleared.

No, you're mistaken. I plan to mortgage a treasure here for now.

Feng Yi looked at Baizhu as if he were an idiot. Selling oneself into servitude was only effective for tricking children; he wasn't that naive!
