Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

Zhongli stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene of cranes flying and deer leaping before him, a smile appearing on his face. Bringing Ruotuo over was indeed a good idea. It had been a long time since the immortals had been this lively. As Zhongli watched, he couldn't help but feel a little lonely. Once upon a time, the gatherings among the immortals were much more lively than they were now. Back then, Ruotuo, who was drunk and disorderly, had beaten down a group of immortals. Now, only a few old friends remained.

"Alas, old friends are passing away one after another, like leaves falling in the wind."

Chapter 103 New Employees of the Hall of Rebirth

"Wow, is this Liyue Harbor? It's so lively!"

"I didn't expect Liyue Harbor to be so lively even at night. I remember that Mondstadt only had this many people around the taverns at night."

Su Bai was very proud of Paimon and Ying's naive and unworldly demeanor. Although Liyue Harbor is a port city, its various commercial streets and food streets are crisscrossed and cannot be compared with those of ordinary port cities.

Moreover, as the trading center of the Teyvat continent, Liyue Harbor sees countless foreign merchants traveling here every day. Therefore, in Liyue Harbor, you can not only buy Liyue's specialties, but also specialties from other countries.

"Alright, now that we're on my turf, I'll take you to see our headquarters, the Hall of Rebirth. If you're not tired, I'll take you to the night market later."

Ying and the others had no objections to Su Bai's arrangements. They also wanted to settle down as soon as possible and also meet the Hall Master Hu that Su Bai had mentioned.

Inside the Rebirth Hall, Hu Tao was idly playing with the little ghost in her ring while lying on the table. Today was another day without business. Fortunately, Zhong Li's bills hadn't been sent to the Rebirth Hall much lately. She wondered which sucker was paying for Zhong Li's bills.

"Forget it, as long as they don't come to the Hall of Rebirth to collect the debt, who cares who they are? Anyway, Zhongli won't be in any danger."

"I wonder how Su Bai is doing in Mondstadt. I heard the dragon plague in Mondstadt has been resolved, so he should be going back to Liyue by now."

"Hey, I heard people talking about me as soon as I got back. Looks like I came back at just the right time."

Su Bai's voice came from outside the Hall of Rebirth. Hu Tao loosened her grip on the little ghost's tail and ran towards the door. The little ghost, having used too much force, flew out and crashed headfirst into the stove. Fortunately, the stove wasn't lit, otherwise, this cute little ghost would probably have had a taste of flames.

Pushing open the door, Hu Tao carefully looked Su Bai up and down. Seeing that Su Bai was safe and sound and did not seem to have been injured, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, no one's missing an arm or a leg. Su Bai, you really are something, you've been in Mondstadt for so long and haven't even written a letter back."

"I was thinking that if you didn't come back soon, I would tell Old Meng to prepare a box for you. Don't worry, the box prepared for you will definitely be made of the best wood."

"Sigh~ I went to Mondstadt and not only found you a playmate, but I also brought back an employee for you. I never expected that you would have to prepare a box for me, such a great contributor as me. It really makes me so sad."

After saying that, Su Bai turned his head to express his dissatisfaction. Only then did Hu Tao notice the girls next to Su Bai. Being an outgoing person, Hu Tao happily greeted Ying and the others.

"Which one of our new employees at the Rebirth Hall is standing here? Let me see them."

"It's me, Master Hu. My name is Astrologis Mona Megistus. I'm an astrologer, skilled in astrology. Please take care of me in the future."

Faced with such an enthusiastic Hu Tao, Mona had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward. After Hu Tao looked Mona up and down, she directly pulled Su Bai, who was watching the show, aside and asked the ferryman to take care of Ying and the others first.

"Su Bai, tell me honestly, did you give this astrologer some benefits that she couldn't refuse?"

谷蕅

“If you give up something very important for the development of our Rebirth Hall, I will not let her become an employee of our Rebirth Hall, even if she is an astrologer.”

Looking at Hu Tao, who was unusually serious, Su Bai couldn't help but be moved. He never expected that Hu Tao, who was always laughing and carefree, would have such thoughts.

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who lets others take advantage of me."

“I’ve already reached an agreement with Mona. As long as you provide room and board and a monthly salary of over 100,000 Mora, Mona can join the Hall of Rebirth immediately.”

Hearing that Su Bai hadn't given up anything important, Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want Su Bai to give up anything because of her, except for his integrity, of course. She was also counting on Su Bai to help her sell the meal packages, since these packages were incredibly profitable. If every young and beautiful girl in Liyue Harbor bought one, she could directly climb onto the Liyue Rich List.

Just as Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly seemed to remember something. Her alluring plum blossom eyes flashed with a strange light, and she lowered her voice to ask Su Bai a question.

"Su Bai, I remember that astrologers and fortune tellers have similar abilities, right?"

Su Bai was taken aback for a moment. He had never thought about this question before. The two professions seemed to be completely unrelated, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to be quite similar.

"Hmm~ Generally speaking, there is indeed no difference between the two. However, Mona may not be able to help you with astrology. You will have to rely on your own efforts, Hu Tao. By the way, I remember that Mona seems to really like meat dishes. Perhaps you can start from there."

"Go away, why are you imitating Zhongli? By the way, you might not know since you haven't been in Liyue recently, but Zhongli brought back a fairy cub a few days ago. It's super cute."

"As for Mona, she will definitely help me. Given the relationship between me and Xiangling, if I personally intervene, Xiangling will definitely cook for me. When she eats Xiangling's cooking, hmph~"

Hu Tao couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she thought about Mona's abilities. Mona was simply perfect for the Hall of Rebirth. From now on, Mona would be responsible for predicting which family would have a death, and she would be responsible for waiting at the door of that family at the exact time. As soon as someone in that family passed away, she would immediately knock on the door to promote her package. With such precise sales service, she didn't believe no one would buy it.

"By the way, did you see that blonde girl and that child wearing the little red hat? They'll be staying at our Rebirth Hall temporarily. Is that alright?"

"No problem, it's just two rooms. It's a piece of cake. But why are there so many fairy babies appearing in Liyue lately?"

“A few days ago, Zhongli brought back a baby immortal, and today you brought back your child. But don’t worry, I will keep it a secret from Sister Shenhe.”

Hu Tao stood on the stool, his arm around Su Bai's shoulder, looking like two buddies. Su Bai, puzzled, picked Hu Tao up from the chair. A fairy cub? His child? What on earth is this?

Su Bai glanced around at Ying and the others who were eating snacks. When he saw Paimon's white hair, Su Bai's lips twitched. He then flicked Hu Tao's smooth forehead on the head.

"Hu Tao, what are you thinking with that little head of yours? That little guy is called Paimon, he's Ying's travel companion, he's a little elf."

Instead of wasting your time thinking like this, you should hurry up and get on Mona's good side.

Su Bai looked at the group of people who had become familiar with each other in just a few minutes and felt a little incredulous. However, what concerned him more was what Hu Tao had said earlier: Zhong Li had brought back a baby immortal? Could it be that some immortal had a son? He would have to go to Jueyun Realm in a few days to ask Liuyun Zhenjun about it.

Chapter 104 Su Bai's Speculation on Zhong Li's Identity

The sun was high in the sky, and Liyue Harbor was already bustling with activity. Su Bai, who was awakened by his rumbling stomach, lazily got out of bed. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and wondered why Hu Tao hadn't woken him up, which was unlike her.

"Could it be that Little Walnut has put all her attention on Mona? Looks like I can sleep in for the next few days."

Su Bai muttered to himself as he slowly walked downstairs. His light steps revealed that being able to sleep in made him quite happy.

Downstairs, Zhongli, who hadn't returned home all night, was leisurely sipping hot tea. Ever since Ruotu easily defeated three opponents on Mount Aozang yesterday, all the immortals had been extremely respectful to Ruotu. Even the most hot-tempered Xiaoyue Zhuyang Zhenjun had to be conscripted by Ruotu with a 'happy' expression.

Actually, the reason why True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang was conscripted is no one else's fault but his own. Other immortals, when being beaten, would howl and shout that they would never do it again, but when True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang was being beaten, he shouted that it was Ruo Tuo's underlings, the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard, who ambushed him first.

Upon hearing this, Ruoduo remembered that some of his followers were still in the Abyss of Layered Rocks. So Ruoduo said that he would go to the Abyss of Layered Rocks to bring his followers back to the surface.

But where is the Abyss of Layered Rocks? It's hundreds, even thousands of meters deep underground. It's easy for Ruo Tuo, who can't fly, to go down but difficult to go up, not to mention he had to bring his group of underlings up with him. So, the poor True Lord of Moon-Cut Sun was conscripted.

Under the threat of Ruo Tuo's fist, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun specially made a large, square, lidless box and tied it to Xiao Yue Zhu Yang Zhenjun, making it easier for Xiao Yue Zhu Yang Zhenjun to pull up the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard.

"That's good. Now that Ruoduo can find something to do, my plans can proceed more smoothly."

"It's just that Ruo Tuo isn't here, and I'm actually a little unaccustomed to the usual noise around me. I wonder how he and Xiao Yue are getting along."

Thinking of these two rivals with vastly different combat strengths, Zhongli sighed slightly, hoping that Ruotuo would be more mindful when he made his move, otherwise it would be embarrassing if the immortals arrived at Liyue Harbor all injured.

Deep within the Abyss of Layered Rocks, looking at the hundreds of ancient rock dragon lizards before him, True Monarch Yaoyue Zhuyang's eyes were filled with tears. If he had known things would turn out this way, he would never have mentioned the ancient rock dragon lizards, even if it meant his death.

Seeing that his little brother and his family had almost all arrived, Ruo Tuo Dragon King didn't stand on ceremony with Xiao Yue Zhu Yang Zhen Jun. He directed the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard to jump into the box behind Xiao Yue Zhu Yang Zhen Jun in an organized and disciplined manner. Only when the box was completely full did he signal Xiao Yue Zhu Yang Zhen Jun to take off.

This also caused some treasure-hunting groups that had sneaked into the Abyss of Layered Rocks to suffer. Seeing those sneaky treasure-hunting groups on the ground, the disgruntled Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building True Monarch took his anger out on them. The Ancient Rock Dragon Lizard behind him even cooperated by spewing out various elements to help Moon-Shaving and Sun-Building True Monarch create several elemental reactions.

This made the disgruntled True Lord of the Moon-Cleaving Sun feel much better. Perhaps he could try to make contact with the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizards in the future. These simple-minded guys were quite to his liking. Back then, when King Ruo Tuo faced the encirclement and suppression of so many immortals, only the Ancient Rock Dragon Lizards stood firmly by King Ruo Tuo's side.

Meanwhile, inside the Rebirth Hall, Su Bai, who had just come downstairs, immediately saw Zhong Li drinking tea at his seat. He didn't know what kind of tea Zhong Li was drinking, but the faint aroma of tea in the air actually made Su Bai's drowsy mind clear up quite a bit.

谷醅

"You, Zhongli, you have something good but you don't even share it with me."

Su Bai casually pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Zhong Li. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. In the pure white porcelain cup, the tender tea leaves resembled sparrow tongues, their color a deep green. A faint fragrance wafted from the emerald liquid. Su Bai took a small sip, and the rich aroma of the tea instantly exploded in his mouth. Su Bai was even more certain that this tea was no ordinary tea, and that Zhong Li, who could produce such tea, was clearly no ordinary person either.

When Su Bai returned from Daoqi, he encountered Zhong Li at the port as soon as he got off the ship. The moment he saw Zhong Li, the fur on both of his tails stood on end.

Realizing that Zhongli was not someone to be trifled with, Su Bai, for his own safety, immediately distanced himself from her. But fate played a cruel trick on him; the goddess of destiny played a cruel joke on him. He finally found a job as a salesman for the Wangshengtang package, but the interviewer turned out to be none other than Zhongli.

Then, under Zhongli's golden eyes, he obediently signed a contract to work at the Hall of Rebirth. In the days that followed, whether his tail got tired or he realized that this little fox could not escape Zhongli's grasp, after two days of bristling fur, he simply stopped reacting when he saw Zhongli.

Unaware of the truth, Su Bai thought it was just a misunderstanding. He also felt that he had wronged Zhong Li by deliberately avoiding him in the past. So, after receiving his first month's salary, Su Bai asked Zhong Li to find a place for the two of them to have a meal together.

Zhongli didn't stand on ceremony and served a full set of all the top-quality dishes from Xinyuexuan. Su Bai, who was spoiled by Ayaka Kamisato and had no habit of checking prices, was also tricked by Zhongli. This meal made him owe Hu Tao a year's salary.

Now that I think about it, if Zhongli is an immortal, then all of this makes sense. After all, immortals are such magical beings that they are generally stronger as they get older. If Zhongli is really an old guy who has lived for thousands of years, then it makes sense that he felt that chills for the first time. Thinking of this, Su Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"Zhongli, you've been hiding it well. If I weren't quick-witted, I might not have been able to tell."

"Oh? What do you mean by this, young friend Su Bai?"

Zhongli gently put down his teacup, but his heart was not as calm as his face showed. He couldn't understand what had gone wrong that allowed Su Bai, this little fox, to see through his identity.

"Zhongli, just be honest. You must be an immortal, and one who has lived for a very long time."

"From a generally rational perspective, I am indeed an immortal. I didn't expect you, Su Bai, to realize it so quickly."

Seeing Su Bai's knowing look, Zhong Li breathed a slight sigh of relief. When Su Bai was young, he had already made Su Bai make a choice. Since Su Bai chose the mortal world, in the era when humans ruled Liyue, Su Bai would have to serve as a bridge between humans and immortals.

To shoulder this responsibility, it would be best not to let Su Bai know his identity. He didn't want Su Bai to come to him for advice every time he encountered a problem. If that went on for too long, the era of human rule would inevitably return to an era of co-rule by immortals and mortals, which was something Zhong Li didn't want to see.

Chapter 105 Baptism of Blood and Fire

"Why didn't you tell me you were an immortal sooner? It made me always a little wary of you."

"From a generally rational perspective, it's not a bad thing that you haven't asked me about this matter, and that you're a little wary."

Su Bai's complaints did not make Zhong Li feel guilty at all. Instead, they gave him a slight sense of joy at his successful prank. It seems that he has also been corrupted by Ruo Tuo these days.

Su Bai was so angry at Zhong Li's answer that he almost wanted to let Zhong Li experience the tingling sensation, but reason told him that if he did so, he would be beaten up badly.

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you. Getting angry will only hurt my health, and I'll be the one who suffers."

"I took Keli to Bubulu to find Qiqi. I promised that little one that I would introduce her to a good friend."

Klee? If he wasn't mistaken, that little one should be Alice's daughter. Thinking of Alice, Zhongli smiled knowingly. That female elf could be considered a remarkable woman of her generation. After all, ordinary people wouldn't think of things like draining the water from Jueyun Pass to see if the mountains of Jueyun Pass could sink underground.

During his travels in Liyue with Iris, he was often amused by her whimsical ideas. However, since Iris did indeed have the ability to bring her whimsical ideas to life, Zhongli stayed by her side almost every step of the way, fearing that one of her ideas might cause the mountains of Liyue to sink underground. You should know that even the wind god Barbatos had never experienced such treatment.

"Hmm~ Su Bai, if you're going to Bubulu, then have Bai Zhu prescribe some nourishing medicine and send it to Wangshengtang."

"What? Zhongli, are you out partying every night? If you need tonics, I haven't finished the one Baizhu gave me last time."

Zhong Li's eyelids twitched. Good heavens, why did he feel such a strong urge to give Su Bai a good beating? She was so cute when she was little, but now she's turned into this. He'd better have a good discussion about this with Yae no Miko next time he meets her.

"No, this isn't for me, it's for Hall Master Hu. She's having some stomach discomfort today."

"After all, considering his age, Master Hu is considered a big kid among ordinary people. Many girls his age are already married."

"Oh, no wonder the Rebirth Hall was so quiet this morning. I'll ask Atractylodes macrocephala if she has any pain-relieving medicine later."

Upon hearing Zhongli's words, Su Bai nodded in sudden realization. So Hu Tao's period had started. No wonder he hadn't bothered Hu Tao this morning.

"Hey Su Bai, why are you laughing so happily when you hear that my stomach is upset? Be careful, when I'm better, I'll dress up as a ghost and scare you in the middle of the night!"

Hearing what sounded like people talking about her in the hall, Hu Tao, leaning against the wall, brought Ke Li, who was playing with the little ghost in her room, to the hall. Meanwhile, Su Bai was happy that he could sleep in for the next few days.

Seeing Hu Tao come out, Su Bai poured her a cup of hot tea. He had keenly sensed while drinking it that the tea seemed to have nourishing, beautifying, and pain-relieving effects, making it perfect for Hu Tao in her current state.

A look of understanding flashed in Su Bai's eyes. No wonder Zhongli only brought out such good tea now. It turned out it was brewed for Hu Tao. So he was benefiting from Hu Tao's presence. Seeing that Hu Tao had drunk all the tea, Su Bai cleared his throat and said.
