King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 360 An early New Year’s gift

"and many more……"

Just as Bai Zhu was about to say something, he saw his whole body and vision went dark - the big black palm of the ember had been stuck on his face.

"This Liyue, there are quite a lot of miscellaneous things." Yu Jin took a deep breath. He met Mandrill who was burdened with karma before, and now he met Baizhu who was plagued by illness.

There are more weird things in Liyue than in Mondstadt.

By activating the power within his body, a stream of warm and illusory fire surged out of Yu Ember's body, and then entered Bai Shu's body.

Flames are naturally not ordinary fires. They are illusory and naturally burn invisible things.

In the perception of longevity, Bai Shu's ethereal vitality gradually rose up like a firefly's disillusionment.

Atractylodes before, it was like being suffocated in thick mud, and the vitality in the body seemed to be absorbed by that layer of "mud", leaving only a little vitality.

But now, the mud covering his body was burned by something, and Bai Zhu's own vitality was fully revealed at this moment.

As for Bai Shu himself, his experience of all this is more profound than that of immortality.

In the darkness, Bai Zhu could feel the warmth coming from Ember's hands. The heat broke through the barrier and poured straight into his body.

Wherever the heat surges, Atractylodes suddenly feels more relaxed. Those heat currents seemed to burn away the pain that was tightly attached to his body.

After the pain that did not belong to him was burned away, the vitality that had been suppressed and devoured by Baizhu suddenly burst out.

The majestic vitality made Dai Yin and Chang Sheng on the side look at him sideways.

But soon, this strong vitality dissipated like an epiphyllum blooming in the middle of the night.

Judging from the momentum, it won't be long before it returns to its previous state.

The Er Snake Dragging Dragon Technique consumes the contractor's vitality. Bai Shu's illnesses were all transferred by his own vitality.

Since the contract with Changsheng, Bai Shu has lost count of how many people he has cured using the Er Snake Drag Dragon Technique.

Even without the ailments that plagued his body, with Baizhu currently consuming too much vitality, he would not have much time left.

However, the gradually weakening vitality in Atractylodes macrocephala finally stopped the downward trend. Something turned into a new vitality for him, filling his life continuously.

By the end, Baizhu's aura was no different from that of ordinary people. Not much stronger than the others, and certainly not much weaker.

Seeing this, Ember released his palm. He clapped his palms and asked Baizhu in front of him: "How is it? Is this a good New Year's gift?"

Bai Zhu didn't reply because he was still savoring the changes in his body.

When Yu Yan saw Bai Zhu looking like this, he stopped bothering him. So he turned around and started to disturb Daine.

"Daine, do you want a New Year's gift?" Yi Jin looked eager to give it a try.

"No need." Dain rejected Ember's so-called "New Year's gift" without thinking.

"Besides, this isn't your New Year's gift." Dain recalled today's date in his mind, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Who said that? My gift perfectly meets all the characteristics of a 'New Year's gift' as described by Bai Zhu!" Ember said that Daine was joking.

Dain shook his head and then gave conclusive evidence.

"As far as I know, the Hai Lantern Festival is the first full moon day of the Liyue New Year. And today, it is still at the end of this year."

"In other words, the Sea Lantern Festival was not held at all. This is at best a... birthday gift for you?"

Dain raised his eyebrows, feeling extremely happy. He has been deflated after walking with Ember for so long, and now he is waiting for Ember to become deflated.

"Birthday gifts don't even count, let alone Baizhu. There will be no one who has passed away today without fortune-telling."

Changsheng made a stab at the side.

"What?" Yu Yan finally believed it after hearing what Changsheng said.

He pointed at the fiery red Liyue outside the window and asked without giving up: "Then why does Liyue look like this now?"

"That's because the Sea Lantern Festival is a grand event. Only by preparing early can you have the most fun on the festival day!" Changsheng is very experienced in this. In a few days, Bubulu will also be decorated for the New Year.

When the time comes, it must let Baizhu become the biggest lantern in the sky!

"Okay." Ember breathed out, looking very frustrated.

"Ember You doesn't need to be so depressed."

Bai Zhu woke up from his strange feeling. He took a few deep breaths, and the warm and medicinal-scented air flowed into his lungs smoothly, and then he exhaled even warmer and more moist air.

The whole process was so smooth that Bai Shu was stunned for a moment. How long has it been since you experienced such fresh and smooth breathing?

When I used to breathe with Baizhu, I always felt that my throat was narrow and my lungs were heavy. When you inhale, your lungs feel like they are tightly wrapped by something, and it is so difficult to open them.

But when you exhale, it's the other way around. It felt like a lot of things that didn't belong to him were stuffed into his lungs, and he couldn't breathe out at all.

But now these are things of the past. Bai Shu clenched his fists, and the body strengthened by the Eye of God used its full power for the first time.

"Huh... Actually, the half month before the Hai Lantern Festival can be regarded as a festival. Everyone has already had a holiday, and Liyue City is the busiest time of the year."

Bai Zhu exhaled a breath and walked to Yu Yan's side.

In addition to ordinary patients, the most common people in Bubu Lu are adventurers who travel around.

They always like to explore uninhabited secret places, and naturally suffer more injuries.

Therefore, during the treatment process, Bai Zhu also heard some information about the ember.

For example, Ember likes to join in the fun.

And in terms of liveliness, there is no place in Tevat that is more lively than Liyue during the Hai Lantern Festival.

"Really?"

"It's true."

Bai Zhu saw that Yu Yan's depression dissipated all of a sudden, and he could only secretly sigh in his heart at the accuracy of the adventurers' intelligence.

Seeing that Yu Yan was so interested, Bai Zhu pointed at Liyue outside the window and looked in his direction. That was where Liyue was close to the sea. It was brighter than other places and the crowds were denser.

"That's Xiao City. This is a rare annual market held by Liyue merchants not for profit, but only to raise materials for Xiao Lan construction."

"It's all-inclusive, and it's of high quality and low price. It only comes once a year, so don't miss it."

"Xiao Lantern? What is that?" Yi Yan keenly discovered the important information in it.

"Sea Lantern Festival, Hai Lantern Festival, the most important thing is to release the flying lanterns."

Bai Zhu smiled, and then continued: "It is a small gadget that can fly into the sky with light."

"Every Liyue person will weave their own lanterns during the Hai Lantern Festival. The most eye-catching ones are definitely the official lanterns."

"I heard that the one commemorating this year is [Yi Xiao Dao Tian Tian Jun]. It is so big and small, but it is the largest in recent years."

After Bai Zhu finished speaking, he also looked expectant. When he had nothing to do, he also went to see the Xiao Deng. Although it only had a skeleton now, he knew that this year's Xiao Deng was definitely the biggest.

"I see." Yi Yan nodded, and after feeling a little emotional, he no longer cared about Xiao Deng.

Because Huan Yan feels that there are many things worth seeing in the Sea Lantern Festival, and the importance of Xiao Lantern can be moved back.

Anyway, according to Bai Zhu, there will be many people setting off lanterns during the Hai Lantern Festival, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see them.

"In Liyue during the Hai Lantern Festival, we can't finish all the new things in three days and three nights. It's better for you two to experience it yourself."

"If you're not busy on the night of the Hai Lantern Festival, you can come to Bu Bu Lu and have a meal with nourishing medicinal food for New Year's Eve dinner. I'm very good at it."

Bai Shu said at the end.
