Genshin Impact short video: The death sentence at the start terrifies Fou.

Bai Zhu's expression was grave. "My initial judgment was wrong. Jia Liang has more than one illness. Therefore, the loss of his life force has exceeded my expectations."

"Besides the poison from the remnants of the demon god, is there anything else?"

Bai Zhu began to explain: "In fact, the poison he was given was administered from the very beginning to suppress his existing condition."

"Jia Liang was born with a rare heart disease and must find a way to protect his heart meridian. Otherwise, he will either bleed and fall into a coma at best, or his lungs and internal organs will be damaged at worst. As far as the remnants of the demon god are concerned, they are not poison, but medicine."

This turned out to be a reversal; after Bai Shu's words, everyone understood.

The most likely scenario now is that Jiang Li risked her life to obtain the dragon's blood not to poison her husband, but to save him.

All of this stems from love.

Chapter 69 The Silent Guardian, the Immortal Xiao

[Yomiya: I never expected this to happen.]

[Yanfei: Dasheng should have already figured it out, which is why he said he wouldn't interfere with their choices.]

[Paimon: But the remnants of the demon god are too dangerous. Karen is already out of his mind.]

[Diluc: As a healer, this is probably the last thing Jiang Li can think of.]

In the video.

Changsheng: "Without this medicine, he would probably have died many years ago."

"But fighting poison with poison is not a long-term solution. Over time, the poison will accumulate in his heart and blood vessels, which will damage his mind."

"Moreover, long-term use of poison will cause Jialiang's body to develop resistance, and the potency of the medicine will decrease... Senior Sister must constantly refine medicine for him to prolong his life."

The thought process finally became clear: what A-Yu had initially described—that her father's condition had worsened and her mother had gone out to gather herbs—was exactly this situation.

As for Jiang Li's disappearance while collecting herbs, it was because those were not ordinary medicinal materials, but rather remnants of a demon god.

The remnants of the demon god are extremely ferocious, beyond the resistance of ordinary people. With a mortal body, such frequent contact would likely leave Jiang Li in a worse condition than Jia Liang.

Chang Sheng: "I never expected that Jiang Li would end up on the same old path. Is this fate?"

"To save lives, one is willing to harm oneself; to achieve miracles beyond human capabilities, one is willing to do anything to pursue superhuman power."

[Xiao: What a pity...]

[Ying: Are all doctors in your lineage like this? Completely disregarding their own safety?]

[Chang Sheng: Did you hear that, Bai Shu?]

[Atractylodes macrocephala: Hehe...]

Bai Shu didn't quite agree with Chang Sheng's words. "It's too early to talk about destiny now. I've managed to stabilize Jia Liang's situation. The most urgent thing is to go back to Qing Ce Manor and find my senior sister."

"Frequent contact with the remnants of the demon god has also caused great damage to her own body. Now that she has been missing for many days, I am afraid that she is in grave danger."

Jialiang, who was hiding nearby, overheard these words.

He begged Bai Shu to let him accompany him.

However, whenever he recalls anything related to Jiang Li, he gets a splitting headache and a tightness in his chest, which not only prevents him from helping but may also worsen his condition.

Jialiang insisted that he could hold on.

Bai Shu asked helplessly, "Are you prepared to die?"

"I should have set off years ago. What is there to fear now? My only fear is that, before I find her again, I will forget about her once more..."

"In that case, come with me."

All of this was observed by Hu Tao, who was hiding in the shadows.

[Paimon: That hem of her clothes, is that Walnut? You're not going to...]

[Hu Tao: What kind of person do you take me for?!]

[Zhongli: The hall master is simply bound by the ancestral precepts of the Hall of Rebirth; he is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong.]

The scene changes.

The group arrived at Jialiang's secluded residence from Bubulu.

The closer Jia Liang got to the door, the worse his headache became.

"This feeling is just like when I got lost that day, like there's something inside me trying to take me somewhere..."

Bai Zhu: "The influence of the main body is getting stronger and stronger. Is it because the distance is getting closer, or because the leakage is more serious... Jia Liang, can you sense the specific direction?"

Jialiang led the group to their destination.

However, the way they led the way was rather disheartening.

He guided himself by the pain in his heart; the closer he got to the right place, the more painful it became.

Finally, the group found the entrance to a collapsed ruin.

Bai Zhu also sensed the ominous atmosphere here.

Jialiang wanted to find a way in, but the moment he tried to recall the past, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Jialiang, are you alright? Why don't you rest here while we go down and look for him?"

"No, Jiang Li...she must still be waiting for me..."

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, "Phew...let's get going!"

Before going in, Ying caught a glimpse of Xiao in the distance; it turned out he had been guarding this place all along.

Xiao teleported in front of Ying and said, "I can sense that an evil aura is growing. You'd better do something quickly. If you wait for the immortals to take action, the outcome... may not be what mortals want."

He disappeared again after saying that, but everyone knew that he was still nearby and would intervene if there was any danger.

[Funinga: Although he's cold-hearted, he's actually quite reliable when it comes to his work.]

[Ayaka Kamisato: But it seems he's only like this with travelers.]

[Ying: Maybe it's because I'm good-looking?]

[Chang Sheng: This immortal is indeed very different from what I remembered.]

[Paimon: Could it be that your memory is playing tricks on you? You said all the immortals listened to you, but you don't recognize a single one.]

【elf:...】

Zhongli: (Drinking tea)

In the video.

Led by Jialiang, the group entered the ruins.

The cave felt eerie, sending chills down my spine.

Along the way, the group encountered a small group of monsters, but they were all defeated by Ying.

Changsheng: "The excavation marks here are very rough, and the site is quite old. It looks like a tomb robber's hole."

There are rumors of treasure nearby, which could indeed be the work of a treasure-hunting gang. However, there are far too many tools left behind here. Why didn't they take them?

Jia Liang suddenly spoke up: "I remember now, she brought me here before, saying that she found a cure for me in the cave."

"But...but she said this recipe would make me..." He stopped mid-sentence, his head throbbing again. "Damn it, I can't remember anything! Damn it..."

"Don't force yourself, just explore forward."

Paimonfei, who was at the front, spotted an incense burner. "This group of thieves really knows how to enjoy life."

Yingmei touched it and found that there was no dust on the surface, but there were traces of fresh burning on the inner wall of the stove.

"The incense burning in the incense burner seems to be incense used to ward off monsters."

Ying: "But we just encountered a monster."

Bai Shu: "The incense has been burned out for many days, and the monster we just encountered was probably attracted by something deeper inside."

"Presumably, the treasure-hunting group that dug this cave must have encountered 'it' unexpectedly deep inside before hastily abandoning the cave and fleeing."

"Later, my senior sister discovered this place again and regarded 'it' as a lifeline for healing Jialiang."

[Ying: The heist gang ran pretty fast!]

[Xingqiu: Of course, life is more important. They just want to make money, but they don't want to lose their lives.]

[Chongyun: They didn't even bother with their tools when they ran away, so what about Miss Jiang Li inside...?]

Wendy: That's not necessarily true. She's a smart person; she even knows how to use incense to ward off monsters.

Back to the video.

Jialiang examined the incense burner for a long time before finally confirming that it belonged to his wife, Jiang Li.

"This incense burner...this incense burner belongs to Jiang Li! Yes, it's right here!"

"It was right here that I had Jiang Li... I had her... use... cough! cough cough!"

Jialiang clutched his chest and coughed incessantly.

"Jialiang!"

After taking a few deep breaths, I managed to recover, but I couldn't continue recalling anything about Jiang Li.

"Phew... I'm fine, let's keep going. I can feel her waiting for me down there."

Chapter 70 I really want to hear your voice again.

The group continued deeper and came to a precipice.

Directly opposite is a strange entrance that glows with a green light, but there is no way to get there or a bridge.

There is a bottomless abyss in between.

Jia Liang: "I can feel it, it's very close..."

"But there's no way to get across."

Ying found a mechanism nearby and reached out to touch it.

As elemental power was injected, the mechanism emitted a green halo that gradually spread towards the opposite bank, and a path appeared in the air.

The green energy is transmitted between each other, and it also removes the barrier at the entrance on the other side.

After entering this door, the road ahead becomes much more difficult than before.
