Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 327
And on Dihuazhou not far from Qingce Village.

Zhongli and Ying, who had left Wangshu Inn, were currently hiding in a roadside tea stand in a panic.

Her pale golden hair became damp from the rain, and she lay beside the old-fashioned solid wood fence, staring blankly at the raindrops falling from the sky.

The streamer on the back of the girl's neck was flying in the strong wind, her cute eyes and slightly worried expression were like docile reindeer.

"It's unlucky, it's raining so much when I just went out..."

"If you go back late, you won't see the fairy ancestor Fashe."

Paimon folded his arms in distress, turning around beside Ying's head, muttering non-stop.

"Paimon, stop shaking."

"We'll set off when the rain subsides."

Ying spoke reassuringly and rubbed Paimon's little head, but the worry in her eyes did not abate in the slightest.

The group of immortals came to Qunyu Pavilion with such a great momentum, counting the time, it has been more than half an hour now, but there is no movement in Liyue Harbor to the south, it is difficult for people to be sure that Qixing is safe and sound.

If Qixing is under house arrest by the immortals, the fools will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble in Liyue.

The girl hugged Paimeng, daydreaming wildly by the wooden railing, hoping that the heavy rain would subside soon, while Zhongli was slowly holding a teacup, and sat at the table drinking tea.

The tea shop here is located on Dihua Island, next to Wangshu Inn. The business is not good on weekdays, and the owner is recuperating at home due to illness. Only his young son Xiao Yu supports the operation of the tea shop.

At the beginning, Xiaoyu, like her peers, was not good at entertaining guests, making tea, and calculating accounts. But as her father became weaker, the sensible Xiaoyu took the initiative to take on the responsibility of running the store. It's pretty good.

The tea shop usually doesn’t have much business. After all, the Wangshu Inn is a few hundred meters ahead. How many people would choose to rest in this little-known shop?
Fortunately, the Qianyan troops patrolling on Dihuazhou all know Xiaoyu's situation. They always come here to rest after patrols and shifts, and pay for some tea, so that the store can survive.

"Guest...Guest officer, do you need more water?"

Seeing that the tea in Zhongli's cup was about to run out, Xiao Yu walked over with the heavy teapot in hand, tiptoed, and wanted to help the guests refill the tea.

"Don't bother, I can support myself."

Zhong Li shook his head slightly, then reached out to take the teapot from Xiao Yu's hand.

Steaming hot tea was poured into the cup, and the rising steam covered Zhongli's handsome face, but it dissipated quickly.

Xiaoyu looked enviously at the God's Eye on Zhongli's back waist.

The guest in front of him was different from other people he had ever seen in terms of temperament and posture, and seemed to have an innate indifference and elegance, even if his clothes were soaked by the heavy rain, he would not be seen in his golden eyes. Half complaint.

"If I also have the eye of God... Dad's illness..."

The light in Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed a bit, and she took out two clean towels from the counter, gave one to Zhongli who was sitting upright, and handed the other to the girl in foreign clothes.

This big sister and the little pet floating beside her are guests that Xiao Yu has never seen before.

Ying took the towel and raised her hand to wipe off the water stains on her pale golden hair.

As soon as the raindrops fell in the sky, Paimon immediately got into Ying's arms to hide. The only one among the three who was not drenched by the rain was the little Paimon who was bluffing next to him.

But before the towel covered Ying's head, Paimon exclaimed.

"Hey! Ying, your hair seems to be dry!"

The girl looked down at her white skirt with some doubts, and stroked the braids on her shoulders.

There is indeed no trace of water stains.

Zhongli, who was holding the towel, obviously noticed what happened here, and an imperceptible dumbness flashed in his eyes.

As far as he knew, this traveler only mastered the elemental power of wind and rock, and the two of them were indeed drenched by the rain just now.

How does the water vapor between the clothes and hair disappear?
Before Zhong Li could express his doubts, the girl thoughtfully took out a small red crystal from the pocket of the white skirt, and looked at it several times.

At this moment, Mr. Zhong also noticed the red crystal that he had ignored just now, his bright golden pupils shrank suddenly, he stood up in surprise, then calmed down immediately, and put the cup back on the saucer.

"Probably because of this thing?"

The traveler noticed Zhongli's movement and waved the seemingly inconspicuous crystal in his hand.

Gentle warmth continued to emanate from the fragments, Paimon curiously held up the crystal with his little hands to observe, and then happily hugged it in his arms.

"I didn't expect that the things left by the stinky guarantor can actually evaporate the moisture in the clothes."

"Hmm...so warm."

Little Paimon also seemed to like this kind of shiny thing, and after playing with it fondly for a while, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Zhongli who was sitting at the table wiping the water stains on his clothes alone, and happily flew to his side, handing over the crystal in his hand.

"Here, Zhongli, try it too."

Zhong Li just shook his head with a complex expression, and folded the used towel.

"Hey, don't use it, why do you look so disgusted!"

Being rejected, Paimon pouted angrily, hugged the spar into his arms again, and flew back to the traveler.

Ying returned the towel to Xiaoyu, took the warm red spar from Paimeng, walked to the table in front of Zhongli and sat down: "Mr. Zhongli, do you know the origin of this stone?"

She always felt that after seeing this spar, Zhong Li's expression became a little strange.

"Know a thing or two... Even in the eyes of the world's seven rulers, it is an extremely precious thing."

"As for the purpose of this thing other than dispelling moisture, it's best to ask its owner."

The omniscient Mr. Zhongli pondered for a long time before nodding slightly.

"Precious? Seven rulers? Its owner?"

Paimon stared curiously at the spar in Ying's hand.

Isn't it just a broken rock?How did it become a precious thing in the eyes of the gods.

Hearing Zhongli's words, little Paimeng suddenly felt that the stone in the traveler's hand seemed a little brighter, and just wanted to continue asking, but Zhongli didn't want to continue this topic, and waved to Xiaoyu who was cleaning the tea shop with her head down.

"Children, do you have any extra umbrellas in the store, can you borrow them for emergency?"

"It will be returned soon."

Xiao Yu, who was called suddenly, raised her head in a daze, and looked at the rainstorm outside the window.

"some."

Nodding hurriedly in agreement, Xiao Yu ran into the inner room of the tea shop, and after a while, she came out with two umbrellas.

"Traveler, and Paimeng children, is the talisman of nothing taboo still in your hands?"

Zhong Li took the umbrella, handed one of the umbrellas to the traveler on the opposite side, and then asked.

"Of course, Paimon has kept such a valuable thing well!"

When mentioning the talisman of no taboos, Paimeng folded his arms proudly and nodded affirmatively.

Although the Fools secretly copied many fakes, they are not sure that the one hundred taboo talisman in their hands must be the real one.

"In this case, I have a way to return to Liyue Port faster."

"Come with me."

Zhong Li got up and walked outside the tea shop, and opened his umbrella.

"Oh, by the way, kid, the tea money...please put it in the account of the Hall of Rebirth."
