I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

"It can't be cured?"

No way, even someone as strong as Xiaoyuan can't cure it?

"OK."

Sure enough, Xiaoyuan didn't disappoint him. It's just that her way of speaking was a little off.

Li Xiao urged, "Then let's get started quickly."

"as you wish."

Xiao Yuan reached out her fair hand and gently tapped Qi Qi's forehead with her index finger, then looked at Li Xiao and said, "All done."

Li Xiao was a little surprised, "So fast?"

Xiao Yuan smiled demurely, "After all, it's not that difficult."

It seems he underestimated Xiaoyuan; this was just one of her clones. Li Xiao couldn't even imagine how powerful her true form was.

However, the stronger Xiaoyuan is, the better it is for Li Xiao. He doesn't need to work hard; he can just live off Xiaoyuan and Xiaoyan.

"Then Xiaoyuan, you can go back into my body first."

Xiaoyuan nodded, but before leaving, she added, "Next time you can ask Xiaoyan for help, you always ask me, and she seems to be getting a little upset."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Now that he knows, Li Xiao certainly won't ignore Xiao Yan's situation.

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Yuan once again transformed into a pink ray of light and entered Li Xiao's body, and time in the world began to flow.

So warm... What is this?

Qiqi suddenly felt a warm current flowing through her body, and her body, which had lost its senses, began to experience the touch of the outside world again.

This warm energy seemed to awaken her long-dormant senses, allowing her to reconnect with the world.

Her memories also returned, and her past experiences flooded into her mind like a tide. Those once blurry fragments are now clear and vivid.

Qiqi blinked, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, feeling a little lost for a moment.

"Qiqi, how are you feeling now?"

Hearing Li Xiao's question, Qi Qi looked up at him blankly.

"Did you... make this?"

Li Xiao smiled gently at her, "Yes, this is a gift for you. Do you like it?"

"I don't know, but... I don't dislike it."

Qiqi clutched her chest, feeling the blood flowing through her veins, her heart beating in her chest cavity, and the warmth she used to hate when she was a zombie, which she no longer found repulsive.

It all felt like a dream, and she couldn't believe it.

Zhongli noticed Qiqi's condition and was somewhat surprised.

"Li Xiao, you've cured little Qi Qi?"

When Qiqi first broke the seal of the immortal and returned to Liyue Harbor, he checked on Qiqi's condition, but he was also helpless.

"That's right! From now on, Qiqi will no longer be a zombie, but a human!"

Not only that, but because the immortal power remaining in her body has also been completely integrated, Qiqi is now a proper immortal with a long lifespan and her combat power has also greatly increased.

Paimon was somewhat amazed, "Li Xiao, you can actually treat illnesses? That's amazing!"

Ying saw more: "Turning a zombie into a human, that should be considered a resurrection, right?"

"It's not quite a resurrection yet; it's just restoring Qiqi's soul and sorting out the immortal power in her body."

Li Xiao shook her head, denying her statement.

His resurrection skill can bring someone back to life even if they've been completely obliterated, leaving no trace. That's what true resurrection is. It's just that the skill's trigger condition is a bit abstract.

"Thank you."

Qiqi tugged at his sleeve and spoke earnestly.

That adorable face revealed a serious expression, making Li Xiao unable to resist pinching it.

"So, we're best friends now, right?"

"Mmm." Still not quite used to the changes in her body, Qiqi could only manage a slightly stiff smile before nodding heavily.

"Li Xiao, my best friend! I'll remember that, and this time, I won't forget!"

Qi Qi stared at Li Xiao's face, as if trying to imprint him permanently in her mind.

"Now that it's recovered, we don't need this anymore."

Li Xiao removed the talisman from Qi Qi's head, as if unveiling a new chapter in her life.

Qi Qi touched the top of her head, the spot where the talisman had once covered her head. At that moment, a strange emotion welled up inside her.

"Alright, I've finished looking for Qiqi, it's your turn now."

Li Xiao clapped his hands, then looked at Zhong Li and gestured to them.

"Mr. Zhongli, is there anything you'd like to buy?"

When Qiqi regained her memory, she naturally remembered Zhongli, whom she had met before.

Zhongli stated his request: "Little Qiqi, we would like to buy some preserved incense."

"Sincerely, three million Mora."

Paimon exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the price, "So expensive?!"

Three million Mora is enough for her to eat lavish meals for a long time.

"Three million Mora... In general terms, this price is reasonable, but we don't seem to have that many Mora."

Zhongli was also a little short of money. He forgot to ask Hu Tao for money when he left, and Qixing said that he would be reimbursed later.

Qi Qi glanced at Li Xiao and then said, "I can give it to you. I'll explain to Mr. Bai Shu when I get back."

“No need,” Li Xiao stopped her, then looked towards the entrance of Bubulu.

"Datalia, you've been watching for so long, shouldn't you come out now?"

Main Text: Chapter 181 The Deal with Zhongli

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, a person stepped in from outside the door. It was D'Artagnan. He greeted everyone warmly with a big smile on his face.

"Oh my! It's been so long, everyone!"

"We just had dinner together at Xinyuexuan yesterday, didn't we?"

Paimon, however, showed him no respect, glancing at him sideways and directly exposing his lie.

"Paimon, don't do this!"

Ying quickly covered Paimon's mouth. If D'Artagnan got angry, there wouldn't be such a sucker to treat them to a big meal again.

"Uh... well." Tartaglia scratched his head awkwardly. "There's an old saying in Liyue: 'A day apart feels like three autumns.'"

Ignoring these trivial matters, Li Xiao spoke directly to D'Artagnan: "You've come at the right time, pay up."

"Huh?" D'Artagnan was taken aback. "Did you call me out just to pay me?"

"Otherwise what?" Li Xiao retorted.

"...Okay, I'll give it to you."

He couldn't beat Li Xiao anyway, and he was used to paying Zhong Li. Of course, the most important reason was that it wasn't his money, so he didn't feel bad spending it.

After obediently handing over a check for three million to Qiqi, D'Artagnan looked at the crowd and invited them:

"So, how about we grab a bite to eat later? Of course, it's on me!"

Paimon broke free from Luminous's grasp, flew into the air, and looked at D'Artagnan with some confusion. "Why do you always treat people to meals every time we meet? Is this some kind of hobby of yours?"

“This is a Liyue tradition,” Tartaglia said, arms crossed. “As they say, things are easier to do at the dinner table.”

Paimon remarked, "I feel like you've completely become a Liyue person, Young Master."

D'Artagnan laughed heartily. "Thank you for the compliment, Paimon. So, does everyone want to go?"

"Let's go, I was just looking for a place to talk to Zhongli, you can listen in too."

Li Xiao didn't refuse the chance to get a free meal, and it would be good if D'Addariya was there for what was to come.

"Oh?" D'Artagnan narrowed his eyes, sensing that he was about to hear something interesting.

After saying goodbye to Qiqi, who was somewhat reluctant to leave, the group arrived at the Liuli Pavilion together.

Because they hadn't made a reservation in advance, the young master paid ten times the price to get a private room.

After ordering, everyone took their seats in turn.

Ying sat next to Li Xiao, and Paimon sat in her lap, swinging his tender little feet.

"So what did Li Xiao come here to say?"

Paimon ate the candied hawthorns he bought on the way and asked a question with a curious look on his face.

"I recently gained an unexpected ability, so I want to make a deal with you, Zhongli."

"Oh?" Zhongli put down his teacup, ready to listen to what he had to say next.

"My new ability is resurrection."

Li Xiao calmly uttered words that shocked everyone.

The atmosphere on the field instantly became quiet, and even Paimon's expression became somewhat solemn.

D'Artagnan frowned, staring at Li Xiao in disbelief. Even he knew very well what the ability to resurrect meant.

"Resurrection? Are you sure this isn't a joke?"

Li Xiao said seriously, "I'm not joking. No matter how you die, or who you are, I can be resurrected."

Zhongli unconsciously clenched his fists. His heart, which had been tempered and refined by the years and was as firm as a rock, was shaken at this moment.
