Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 515: Rescue from Suffering

While Zhongli was busy arranging his own ceremony to send off the immortals, Famas also went around from Feiyunpo to the Yujingtai Garden which was being rebuilt.

Those exquisite landscape creations had long been burned down. Bamboo scaffoldings were built along the stone walls, and craftsmen were repairing the damaged stone vertical walls. The path leading to Bubu Lu below had been cleared, and wheelbarrows loaded with bricks and timber kept coming and going.

Yuhengxing, who is in charge of supervising the progress of the project, is not here. I guess he is dealing with the aftermath of the rebellion in Yinyuan Hall.

Famas observed the progress of the building restoration and walked aimlessly to the stairs of Bubulu. Liyue, which had been devastated by the war, was gradually recovering its vitality. The chirping of birds was heard one after another. The sunlight slowly floated in the sky, reflecting the dust on the ground. Then Famas remembered something very important.

That is, he seemed to have nowhere to go in Liyue.

If he went to look for the Traveler and Paimon now, there would be a lot of questions about emergency food, and Famas didn't want to bother explaining it to Paimon; as for Yuehai Pavilion, the Liyue Seven Stars headed by Ningguang would obviously not welcome him as a guest, and the Wangsheng Hall and Wanmin Hall were too busy to do anything...

Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet is salvaging building wreckage and lost items from the Qun Yu Pavilion at sea. The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's escort agency is organizing a caravan to transport the materials needed to rebuild Liyue. The Yanshang Tea House seems to be unmanned, but in fact, no one knows where it is investigating some secret information.

After much thought, Famas realized that in this huge Liyue Harbor, only the Bank of the North, a diplomatic institution belonging to the Winter Solstice, would be able to welcome him with a smile.

But Pantalone must be too busy to take care of himself.

After all, the contract signed between gods is no joke, and Morax is the nominal God of Contract. It is obviously not an easy task to find loopholes in the contract he personally drafted and reduce the losses of the Fatui.

"The desserts at Northland Bank are pretty good..."

In line with the principle of being helpful and helping partners, FAMAS thought for a moment and prepared to return to the Fatui base to look for loopholes in the contract with Pantalone.

At this moment, there was a faint scent of misty flowers in the air.

Famas sniffed it in confusion and looked in the direction of the fragrance. He happened to see Doctor Bai from Bubulu walking down with a package of oil paper tied with a thin string in his hand.

Bai Zhu, wearing folding glasses, has a gentle appearance and is dressed in a short shirt that is not common in Liyue. His long green hair is tied up with a bamboo hairpin and braided behind his head. His face shows the gentleness and compassion that is consistent with the image of a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded.

If there is anything more eye-catching than his appearance, it is undoubtedly the white snake coiled around his neck.

But the man's health might not be very good. Even when he just walked down the long steps in front of the Bubu Hut, he couldn't help coughing several times. After a short rest, he suppressed the discomfort and continued to walk down the stairs.

His target was obviously the FAMAS on the bluestone path.

Seeing Bai Zhu gasping for breath after taking just two steps, Famas couldn't help but feel worried, fearing that the other party would really cough to death in front of him, and then he would have to work hard to distance himself from the matter.

"You dare to feed wild tigers and monsters with only a mortal life span. You may not be very capable, but you are very brave."

In order not to delay his trip to the Northland Bank to taste dessert, Famas muttered to himself, but did not stop. He turned around and walked straight towards the Northland Bank, without any intention of wanting to know what Bai Zhu wanted to do with him.

"Mr. Farmas, please stay."

But before he took two steps, Bai Zhu's voice had already come from behind him. Famas turned his head and happened to meet the white snake sticking out from Doctor Bai's neck in surprise.

"How do people in Mond greet each other... Good day, Lord Famas?" A brisk and pleasant female voice came strangely from Bai Shu. The cloak on Bai Shu's shoulders moved, and the slender and graceful snake king covered with dense snow-white scales slowly crawled out from the collar. The slow movements looked inexplicably elegant, but it was inevitable that people's hair stood on end.

The white snake climbed onto the young man's neck, coiled its body twice, blinked like a human, and then greeted Famas.

"You know a lot, don't you? Good day, Lord Changsheng?"

Of course, Famas was not surprised by the existence of immortality. He stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead.

I almost forgot that this seemingly sickly Doctor Bai is actually God's chosen one who possesses the Eye of God.

I should have run faster.

When Famas was secretly regretting, Bai Shu raised his index finger and scratched Changsheng's chin affectionately, signaling it to retract its head. The cold-blooded animal first rubbed Doctor Bai's finger with great enjoyment, and then with a hissing sound, its soft body slowly curled up back to its original position.

The cold snake scales scratched Bai Zhu's neck, a scene that would make any normal person's hair stand on end, but Bai Zhu himself seemed unaware of it, and even his breathing frequency did not change.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Famas, Changsheng has been a bit active lately."

  Bai Shu's voice was calm and gentle, as if he really believed that Changsheng's existence frightened Famas. His tone was full of apology, and then he picked up the oil-paper bundle in his hand and explained his purpose:

"Qiqi told me about your and the traveler's kindness. Thank you very much for finding coconut milk for her... This is a pastry made by the little zombie himself. I hope I can pass it on to you."

Bai Zhu picked up the oil-paper bag and tried to suppress the itch in his throat.

Coughing while delivering food is not a good thing.

"It's just a piece of cake. I didn't expect the little zombie to have such a good memory?"

Famas took the pastry handed to him by Bai Zhu and asked a seemingly casual question.

The zombies of Liyue have no memory or self-awareness, and everything they do and say is controlled by imperial orders. Even if for some reason Qiqi can give himself an imperial order to drive his actions, the little zombie's memory is still very poor. In order to ensure the smoothness of daily life, he carries a notebook with him.

The imperial edict allows Qiqi to carry out the mission, and the notes contain various precautions, including how to accomplish the mission. In addition, Qiqi's own strength is also quite good... With these three guarantees, the little zombie's actions will usually not have any problems.

But unfortunately, Qiqi often forgets to even look at the notes, so the idea of ​​making pastries to express gratitude sounds more like an excuse made up by Bai Shu to Famas.

However, the young man could also guess why Bai Zhu contacted him on purpose.

After all, anyone in Liyue who has a little knowledge of Bubu Lu knows that Doctor Bai in the Lu has been seeking the method of "immortality" for many years, and Bai Shu has never deliberately concealed this behavior that seems to defy life and death.

According to Hu Tao, Doctor Bai from Bubulu was like a moth, soberly jumping into the fire.
