Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister
Page 163
Zhongli sensed that Philgode seemed a little off, and he didn't want to get himself into trouble. Today's events were quite important, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
On the top floor of Wangshu Inn, Xiao had been waiting for a long time. Ever since Su Bai told him on the phone yesterday that he needed to see him today, he hadn't left Wangshu Inn.
"Hey kid, you're here. Do you know why Su Bai wants to see us?"
"Lord Zhongli, Senior Ruo Tuo."
“I don’t know why Su Bai wanted to see me. He just told me to wait for him here.”
Upon seeing Zhongli and Ruoduo arrive, Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects. Since Abedo and Abeshao were still eating downstairs, Xiao wasn't worried about being discovered by others.
"Here you are, Grandpa Zhongli, Little Sister Zhongtuo, you two left way too fast."
After Zhongli and Xiao chatted for a while, Su Bai arrived at Wangshu Inn. He then led Abedo and Abeshao to the rooftop. Seeing Xiao standing there, Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief and used a talisman to block the way up to the Wangshu Inn.
"Boss Xiao, it's good that you didn't go out to clear out the monsters, otherwise I really can't guarantee how long the spells I learned from Sister Shenzi and Sister Hua will last."
"I won't say more. I'll suck out the karmic obstacles from Boss Xiao's body in a bit. Abedo and Abedo, you two have special powers, so you should be able to control the karmic obstacles for a short time."
"Grandpa Zhongli, Little Sister Zhongtuo, you two have a lot of immortal power. I may need you to provide some of it when I cast a spell later."
After briefly assigning the tasks, Su Bai didn't say much to the others. Mainly, he didn't know if there would be any unexpected problems with the soul-nourishing technique he had learned, so making the most of the time was the most important thing right now.
Although everyone was confused about what Su Bai was going to do, they trusted him and didn't ask. Su Bai didn't waste any time and directly used the illusionary power within his body to lure the karmic obstacles in Xiao's body to flow out rapidly.
Seeing the karmic obstacles flying everywhere on the top floor of Wangshu Inn, Abedo and Abedo immediately used the Creation Technique and the power of the Demonic Dragon to trap the karmic obstacles in a circle.
"Xiao has absorbed so much karma over the years, Si Zhongli, this child has suffered too much."
Sensing the rapidly increasing karmic burdens around him, even Ruoduo, an elemental being, couldn't help but gasp. So much karmic burden trapped on Xiao alone—the suffering was far too heavy.
Zhongli didn't say anything, but just sighed deeply. Once you absorb too much karma, there is a risk of losing your mind. It's not that he didn't want to help Xiao alleviate his pain, but compared to a crazed Yaksha, a crazed Geo Archon might be more terrifying to Liyue.
"So, next up is this."
Su Bai took out a small white ball radiating immortal power from his pocket. Judging from the aura emanating from this white ball, it should be a remnant soul.
"Is Su Bai trying to revive this remnant soul? But why is he releasing the karmic burden from Xiao's body?"
Zhong Li stared at the small white ball in Su Bai's hand. He sensed a familiar aura emanating from it, an aura he seemed to remember.
"Wait, could it be that Su Bai is planning to use karmic obstacles to build a body? But the soul can be corrupted."
Seeing the karmic obstacles floating in the air gradually take on a human shape, Ruoduo stared wide-eyed in disbelief at everything before her; it was beyond her comprehension.
“Little Sister Zhong Tuo, you’ve got to see this. I’ll definitely think of everything you’ve thought of.”
"Your sanity will not be corrupted."
Su Bai clasped his hands together, and the authority that was etched deep in his memory from birth began to be fully activated. An indescribable and wonderful feeling enveloped the remnant soul. Su Bai wanted to use his illusion authority to deceive this inevitable law. According to his calculations, if it was just a remnant soul, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Chapter 374 Su Bai's Plan (3)
"This is quite a drain... I guess I'm still too young."
A bitter smile appeared on Su Bai's pale face. He seemed to have overestimated himself. Although the plan had succeeded, the cost was far too high.
Feeling the dwindling amount of immortal power within him, Su Bai was extremely grateful that he had summoned Elder Zhongli and Little Sister Zhongtuo in advance. At the same time, Su Bai also realized just how outrageous his supposedly insignificant authority was.
"Grandpa Zhongli, Little Sister Zhongtuo, you two, stop just watching! Quickly use your immortal power to guide this remnant soul into the body formed by karmic obstacles."
“Abedo and Abeso may not be able to hold on for long.”
Seeing that Zhongli and Ruotuo were still staring at him in disbelief, Su Bai quickly asked the two elders for help. At the same time, Su Bai also took out the results of his work last night: a rope made from the hair on his tail.
Because of the unique nature of his hair, ropes made from his hair have excellent compatibility with the soul. Wearing these ropes on one's body can not only maintain the stability of the soul, but also provide a certain degree of protection for it.
Upon hearing Su Bai's arrangement, Ruo Tuo originally wanted her to take action, but after realizing that this remnant soul might belong to that Yaksha, Zhong Li stopped Ruo Tuo. He personally controlled his immortal power to slowly send the remnant soul into the body composed of karmic obstacles.
Realizing that this remnant soul might have been brought out by Su Bai from the Abyss of Layered Rocks, Xiao stared intently at the karmic obstacle floating in mid-air. He hesitated so much that he scratched a handprint on the railing of the roof of Wangshu Inn.
At this moment, Xiao had no mind to feel the long-lost ease brought by the removal of karmic obstacles. After the karmic obstacles manifested as four hands, not only Xiao but even Zhongli was startled. Old Master Zhongli had never seen such a method of resurrection in all his years of life.
"Alright, it should be finished now. We just need to wait for Senior Fushe's soul to adapt to his new body before he wakes up."
"Speaking of which, I learned this method from Sister Shenzi. If this method didn't have so many prerequisites, perhaps there wouldn't be so many tragedies in the world."
As the person he had only seen in the portrait collected by True Monarch Liuyun Jiefeng slowly solidified, Su Bai, after sensing the senior's condition, also shared the good news.
Upon hearing that Fushe would reappear in the world in this way, Xiao's usually calm and fair face flushed with excitement. Xiao had thought that he would spend the rest of his time alone, but he never expected that Fushe would appear today, and in this way.
"I remember a little fairy named Bronze Sparrow also died in battle, but he retained a trace of his soul. Su Bai, I wonder if you can do that?"
Zhongli hesitated for a moment when he said this, but thinking that Tongque had sacrificed himself to protect Liyue, Zhongli felt that even if there was only a slight possibility, he still hoped that Tongque could return to the human world.
"You retained a trace of your soul? That's alright, but I've extracted all of Xiao's karmic burdens to help Senior Fushe rebuild his body. If you want to rebuild his body, it might be..."
Hearing that there was still a wisp of remnant soul left, Su Bai felt that there was no major problem. As long as it wasn't the kind of remnant soul that was about to disappear, he was confident. It was just that he might need Xiao to get some karmic retribution for this body.
Of course, it's not impossible to build a body with other things, but if the body is built with karma, then with two immortals who can absorb karma in the future, Xiao won't have to suffer so much from absorbing karma. And for these two resurrected predecessors, they can also increase their strength by using karma, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
"It's alright, I'll go deal with the karmic obstacles right away. I'll have to trouble Senior Zhongli to help me out here."
After the initial excitement of being resurrected by Fushe subsided, Xiao finally felt the changes in his body. Without the influence of karma, Xiao's strength had reached a new level. In the past, Xiao would have to divert some of his power to suppress karma in order to guard against its backlash. Now, Xiao felt that he could fight monsters all day long.
Hearing Xiao entrust such an important matter to Zhongli, Ruo Tuo pursed her lips in displeasure, but she also knew the importance of the matter and was not angry about Xiao's choice.
"In that case, I'll stay at Wangshu Inn for a few days."
Zhongli was also very concerned about the resurrection of his former First Yaksha, so he chose to stay at Wangshu Inn for a few days. The two alchemists, Abedo and Abeshao, also chose to stay at Wangshu Inn for a few days. This kind of wonderful magic, which is different from alchemy, was very attractive to these two alchemists.
If it weren't for the worry that his experiment might accidentally damage Wangshu Inn, Abedo would have wanted to move the Longji Snow Mountain base to Wangshu Inn. This magical scene was simply too captivating for Abedo.
Chapter 375 New Employees of the Hall of Rebirth
Half a month after the events in the Layered Rock Abyss, with the enactment of the Layered Rock Abyss Sealing Law by Liyue, the Thousand Rock Army began patrolling the Layered Rock Abyss. All mining activities in the Layered Rock Abyss were officially suspended, and any illegal mining activities would be severely punished.
Su Bai, who had successfully brought Tongque and Fushe back to the world, was struggling to break free from Shen He and Linghua's embrace. Linghua's arm was manageable, but Shen He's arm was like an iron lock, and Su Bai had to exert a great deal of effort to break free.
"Good morning, Walnut. You got up so early today and prepared so much food."
Su Bai picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He was quite surprised to see Hu Tao so early in the morning. With the widespread use of mobile phones in the three countries, Hu Tao had been staying up late every night to play on her phone. The girl who used to go to bed early and get up early now had to sleep until the sun was high in the sky.
"Didn't Su Bai say that Zhong Li said he would be back this morning?"
"Does Elder Zhongli have such great influence that you, the 77th generation head of the Rebirth Hall, would personally wait here?"
Su Bai gave Hu Tao a sidelong smile and teased her. Given Hu Tao's personality, she didn't seem like the type to disrupt her own routine to welcome Grandpa Zhongli.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't value my employees?"
"You said those words yourself, Master Hu. I never said that. I don't know anything about it."
Hu Tao made a face at Su Bai as if she wanted to bite him. Considering the safety of his arm, Su Bai chose not to tease Hu Tao anymore. He didn't want to explain to Ling Hua later where the teeth marks on his arm came from.
"Forget it, I won't stoop to your level. The reason I got up so early today is because Zhongli said he brought back two people who want to join the Hall of Rebirth."
"Su Bai, you know that our Rebirth Hall has always been short-staffed. Now that we've finally got two employees, I, as the hall master, should at least show them some enthusiasm, right?"
"Um, Hu Tao, if you don't tell those new employees about the benefits of being a staff member at Wangshengtang, I think more people might join Wangshengtang."
Listening to Hu Tao complain about the lack of staff at the Hall of Rebirth, Su Bai's head started to ache. Every day when someone wanted to join the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao would say things like "internal price for Hall of Rebirth employees," which would scare them away.
"Hmph, I wouldn't even look at those people. Those who can truly integrate into the working atmosphere of the Hall of Rebirth won't be intimidated."
"Hu Tao, you may look down on her, but you really know how to order people around when there's a problem. Last time we didn't have enough wood, and you actually made me create several clones to chop wood."
Perhaps remembering how she had tricked Su Bai before, Hu Tao smiled sheepishly. Only Hu Tao could probably get an immortal to help chop wood.
"Master Hu, I'm back,"
Just as Su Bai was about to have a good talk with Hu Tao about how to recruit people, Zhong Li led two people Hu Tao had never seen before into the Hall of Rebirth.
"Zhongli, you're finally back! These two are the new employees you mentioned; they both look quite robust."
Hu Tao looked Zhong Li up and down. Seeing that the two men behind him were both strong and healthy, Hu Tao nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that she, as the head of the hall, would no longer need to personally carry the coffins in the future.
"Hello, Master Hu. My name is Fushe. I hope we can get along well in the future."
"Master Hu, I am Tongque. Please feel free to give me any instructions in the future."
"Alright, alright. Zhongli should have told you what the Hall of Rebirth is before he came back, right? If you don't feel comfortable, you'd better leave quickly. I'm telling you in advance, if you don't do well, I'll deduct your Mora."
Speaking of this, Hu Tao's face lost its usual cheerfulness and instead revealed a rare seriousness. In Hu Tao's view, the rules of their line of work cannot be overstepped. If the employees of Wangshengtang break the rules, even if they are Zhong Li's friends, Hu Tao will still punish them.
"Don't worry, Master Hu. Although Tongque and I have never done this before, we will definitely follow your instructions."
"Yes, yes, Brother Fushe is right."
A pat on the back from Fushe snapped Tongque out of his reverie. If he hadn't been out of Mora, he would have loved to explore Liyue Harbor and see what had become of the place he had been protecting.
"Good. Then just follow my instructions. Since you were brought back by Zhongli, you can familiarize yourselves with Liyue Harbor with him for now. Your expenses today can be charged to the Hall of Rebirth. Consider it my treat."
Seeing that the clothes worn by Tongque and Fushe gave off an ethereal feel, and considering that they were brought back by Zhongli, Hu Tao had a rough idea of Fushe and Tongque's identities.
Hu Tao didn't think much of the fact that the Rebirth Hall had gained two more immortals. After all, the Rebirth Hall already had enough immortals. Hu Tao's attitude was that whether it was one immortal or a group of immortals, it was all the same. So let's just keep raising them. The Rebirth Hall wasn't short of money.
Chapter 376 The Upcoming Lantern Festival
"The Lantern Festival is coming soon this year. I see that Wanmintang has launched some promotional activities, such as ordering two dishes and getting a free boiled fish. Sister Linghua, do you think I should launch some set meals to celebrate?"
"Hmm! How about buying two coffins and getting a box for free? We'll need them sooner or later anyway, so it's much more cost-effective to have them ready now so we don't have to buy them later when we need them."
The more Hu Tao thought about it, the more confident she was that her brilliant idea would become a huge hit. Hu Tao was already quite impatient. Ling Hua, who was standing next to Hu Tao, gently closed the book. Before Mr. Zhong Li left, he had specifically instructed her to keep an eye on Hu Tao and make sure that Yu Heng Xing Ke Qing didn't come knocking on her door again.
"Master Hu, you should still be careful. Yesterday, Yuhengxing said she'd be keeping a close eye on you. It's best if you don't launch any new packages recently; I'm worried Yuhengxing might..."
Linghua's tone was somewhat hesitant. She didn't know if she could persuade this Hall Master Hu. After spending these days together, Linghua had also figured out Hu Tao's personality. This quirky Hall Master Hu was full of strange ideas.
Yesterday, Hu Tao was posting flyers somewhere again and was discovered by that Jade Balance Star. That Jade Balance Star lectured Hu Tao in the Hall of Rebirth for a full two hours before leaving. Mona accidentally laughed while Ke Qing was lecturing Hu Tao, and as a result, Mona was also scolded by Ke Qing.
However, Keqing wasn't just looking for trouble. The reason she was lecturing Mona was that when Mona went out with Hu Tao, she would always push promotional packages at specific times. Sometimes, even before someone in the family had passed away, Hu Tao would already be bringing Mona to their door to sell the packages.
"Alright, alright, what you said makes sense, Ayaka-nee. Speaking of which, this must be your first time participating in the Lantern Festival, right?"
"Yes, I only read about the Liyue Lantern Festival in books when I was in Inazuma. It is said that the Lantern Festival is one of the grandest festivals in Liyue, with many lively activities. I'm really looking forward to it."
Thinking of what Su Bai had told her about the Lantern Festival, Linghua's eyes revealed anticipation. Yesterday, when she was shopping with Su Bai, she found that many places had already started selling lantern-making materials and lanterns. She even bought three sets of lantern-making materials to make three lanterns, but she was busy until midnight and didn't make a single one.
Linghua couldn't understand this either. She followed the tutorial exactly, so why were the night lights she made so strangely shaped? Looking at the pictures of the beautiful night lights on her phone, Linghua bit her lip in frustration.
"Hey, are there only the two of you in the Hall of Rebirth? Isn't Su Bai here?"
