Yae from Genshin Impact is my sister

"Your Excellency Su Bai is too kind. Your strength at this age is probably rare in the world."

Sensing the faint sense of danger emanating from Su Bai, Abedo exchanged a few polite words with him, but his curiosity was more intense, as it was his first time meeting a Liyue immortal.

"Mr. Abedo, you can just call me Subai. I've come here again to ask for your help."

“Su Bai, you can just call me Abedo. You’ve taken care of Ke Li for so long, so as long as I can, I will definitely help you.”

"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."

Su Bai pulled up a chair and sat down, condensing two drops of blood from his fingertips that floated in the air. Abedo examined them carefully but couldn't find anything unusual about the two drops of blood. If he had to say something, the blood seemed to be a bit redder than ordinary blood.

Faced with Abedo's puzzled look, Su Bai did not explain much, but instead controlled a drop of blood to fly to Abedo's palm, and then took out a talisman that was flashing white light and handed it to Abedo.

"Abedo, place this talisman under the blood droplet, then channel elemental power into the talisman."

"Once you see the light on the talisman envelop the blood droplet, stop channeling elemental power and think of any sentence in your mind."

Although Abedo didn't know Su Bai's purpose in asking him to do this, he still complied. As the white light on the talisman grew brighter, Abedo realized that the talisman seemed to be restricting his elemental power, allowing only a very weak amount of elemental power to come into contact with the blood bead.

Confused, Abedo silently thought of the name "Keli" in his mind. When the white light faded, he keenly noticed that the round blood bead in his palm had actually transformed into the name "Keli." How could this be? Could it be that Su Bai was controlling the blood bead to transform? But that couldn't be right. He had only thought of the name in his mind; Su Bai couldn't possibly know that.

“Abedo, if this surprises you, then look at this drop of blood on my palm.”

Su Bai's words made Abedo raise his head. He saw that the drop of blood on Su Bai's palm had somehow transformed into the words "Keli," which made Abedo's pupils shrink. He seemed to understand something.

Abedo then channeled elemental power into the talisman. This time, he deliberately thought of a long passage of text in his mind. When the white light dissipated, he saw a long line resembling a red thread on his palm, which was exactly the same as the long line on Su Bai's palm. Abedo instantly became interested.

"How was this done? Is there a time and space constraint between these two drops of blood? Can these two drops of blood still function in harsh environments?..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't even have time to answer all your questions yet."

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

After realizing what was happening, Abedo bowed slightly, but the thirst for knowledge in his eyes did not diminish at all. In addition to the thirst for knowledge, there was also a slightly morbid curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Su Bai. Su Bai was shocked. This was not a good sign. What if Abedo took advantage of him while he was sleeping? Where would he go to seek justice?

No, from now on I'll have to design a few illusion arrays around myself to protect myself when I sleep. Thinking about Sugar's room, Su Bai felt that Abedo, as Sugar's teacher, must be even better.

"Ahem, well, Mr. Su Bai, would you like some tea? Let's chat over tea."

Perhaps realizing that his gaze had frightened Su Bai, Abedo coughed awkwardly twice and took a jar from a cabinet.

"Oh? Abedo, you like to drink tea. Then I'll have to try your tea properly."

Noticing Abedo's embarrassment, Su Bai still put on an expectant face to save face. Abedo smiled, opened the jar, poured some tea leaves into the teapot, and skillfully brewed the tea with the kettle next to him.

Whether it was an accident or not, Su Bai discovered that the tea in the teapot was a strange black color. Abedo looked at the tea and hurriedly picked up a test tube and poured some strange reagent into the teapot.

"I'm so sorry, this tea was sent by my student Sugar. She's been researching tea lately, so the tea she brewed is a bit strange."

"But don't worry, I've already used an alchemical potion to restore the tea, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Su Bai's lips twitched. What do you mean by "nothing should happen"? If something does happen, I'm afraid I'll become your and Sugar's research material.

"Um, Abedo, I'm not very thirsty right now. Do you have anything to eat? I'm feeling a bit hungry."

"Food? Sugar just delivered some food to me this morning. I'll go get some for you, Lord Su Bai."

Abedo opened a large box, and a dark figure jumped out of it. Abedo skillfully picked up a knife and swiftly stabbed the figure.

When Abedo brought the dark shape to Su Bai's face, Su Bai almost fell off his chair. "Holy crap, how did this apple grow legs?"

Seeing that Su Bai was just staring at the apple without making a move, Abedo slapped his forehead, picked up the alchemical potion next to him, and dripped it onto the apple. After wriggling for a while, the apple that had grown legs returned to the shape of an ordinary apple.

"Su Bai, you've had this before. The sport apples that Sugar developed taste really good because they're kept in the box for a long time, making their flesh crisper than regular apples."

"No, no, I'm suddenly not very hungry anymore. Abedo, let's talk about why I came to see you."

Su Bai refused the apple that Abedo offered him in a panic. Su Bai had a feeling that the apple would run and jump around in his stomach if he ate it. Seeing that Su Bai couldn't eat it, Abedo regretfully put the apple away, intending to have it as an after-dinner fruit that evening.

"I came to you this time because I want you to use the special properties of my blood to create some tools that can be used for remote text communication and are easy to carry."

"Of course, I will also use my magic to help. I have a feeling that with your alchemy and my magic, we will definitely succeed."

Chapter 198 Each with Their Own Dilemmas (1)

"If possible, I think it would be better to send Klee down the mountain first and not let her stick with us. This snow mountain is far too dangerous."

Ying pulled Paimon out of the snowdrift. Beside the honeysuckle tree, after the group pulled out the first piece of the Frost Nail, a small avalanche was suddenly triggered for some unknown reason. If Shenhe hadn't used ice elements and magic to create a small safe place, everyone would have been buried in the snow.

"But Klee doesn't want to go down the mountain. Klee wants to go on an adventure with Shin-haku-neechan."

Protected by Shenhe, Klee thought of the little fox's snow mountain adventures that the talking crane had told her, and felt that she should also learn from the little fox and explore the secrets of the snow mountain.

Mona frowned and turned the water dish in front of her. According to her previous divination, there was no great danger on their trip, so how could an avalanche have suddenly been triggered?

"This is not a naturally occurring avalanche."

"Shen He, do you mean someone deliberately caused the avalanche?"

Ying followed Shen He's gaze up the mountain, but didn't see anything amiss. Before Ying could ask for clarification, Paimon interrupted her train of thought.

"Ying, something bad has happened! The road down the mountain seems to be blocked by heavy snow. We can't go any further."

"Huh?? We don't have many supplies on us. If it weren't for Klee's flaming bouncing bombs, we'd probably freeze to death here."

Ying felt a headache coming on as she looked at the snow-blocked path down the mountain. She had originally planned to go down the mountain to replenish her supplies and get some warmer clothes before going back up, but now it seemed that she had no better option than to keep going.

Ying glanced at her teammates and thought, "Hmm, Klee, forget it. Playing with bombs in the snowy mountains could easily cause an avalanche. Mona could team up with Shenhe to create a freeze reaction, but that wouldn't make up for the lack of fire element."

If she had known this would happen, she should have let Hu Tao go with her. Hu Tao, my Hu Tao, waaaaah! Thinking of how Hu Tao burned a thug to ashes in just a few moves, Ying suddenly felt that Hu Tao was so reliable.

"Let's keep going. I wonder how things are going with Hu Tao. By the way, Mona, aren't you good at divination? Can you tell how Hu Tao and the others are doing?"

"Um, I don't know how to explain it to you, Ying. According to my divination, Master Hu's situation seems to be very good, but Qi Qi's is not so good. However, the two of them have not separated."

Mona rubbed her hair. What was going on? Could there be something wrong with her water divination? That shouldn't be the case. The old woman's water divination had never failed her, so it shouldn't be wrong with her.

Mona turned around in front of the water mirror, but no matter how she looked at it, she didn't see anything wrong. However, the result of the divination was obviously abnormal. Frustrated, Mona felt as if she had lost several more strands of hair.

"Alright, alright, Mona, stop looking at your water mirror. Let's keep going. We can only move forward now."

Ying calmed the agitated Mona down. If she remembered correctly, there seemed to be a cave ahead. The temperature in Shandong was much colder than in other places. If they could go in, they might be able to find another fragment.

"This damn avalanche! I don't want to find out who's behind this, otherwise I'll make sure they see the power of the pine trees when they start to rustle."

Yura gritted her teeth, her face full of anger. Using such despicable means to deal with them was simply shameless. It seemed that besides monsters, there were some people with ulterior motives on the snow mountain. Sure enough, the rewards from the Adventurers' Guild were not so easy to obtain.

"Yin and Yang are in order, but fate is unpredictable. Since your bodies have lost their vitality, your souls should not linger here. You should know that doing so will disrupt the balance of Yin and Yang here."

"What? You're not reconciled? Even if you are, it's no use. This place isn't under our jurisdiction. As the head of this hall, I can only send you to another world."

"You ask me what the other world looks like? Hmm? How should I describe it to you? Well, it's very beautiful and warm. If you're lucky, you might even see someone waiting for you."

While chatting with the ghosts, Hu Tao held the homa staff and prepared for the funeral ceremony. The blazing flames on the homa staff distorted the air. Qi Qi silently took a few steps back and hid behind Yura.

"Qiqi hates high temperatures, fake smiles, and death."

"Hey, Walnut, did you hear that? You scared Qiqi! I'll remember this grudge!"

Yura carried Qiqi a few steps away from Hu Tao. Yura was a little scared at this moment. She had lived for more than 20 years and this was the first time she had seen someone who could communicate with the dead. Moreover, judging from the situation, the communication did not seem to be going very smoothly.

What exactly is the Hall of Rebirth? She seemed to have heard the name somewhere before. Yura patted Qiqi's little head.

"Qiqi, tell Sister Yura what exactly the Hall of Rebirth is, and why Hu Tao can communicate with ghosts at such a young age."

"The Hall of Rebirth? Qiqi doesn't know either. Qiqi only knows that Sister Hu Tao presided over the burial of many heroes of the Thousand Rock Army who sacrificed their lives a few days ago. Many people fainted from grief at the time."

Upon hearing Qiqi's words, Yura instantly remembered that it was the Hall of Rebirth, the leading funeral service provider in Liyue. She had read the intelligence report when her uncle sent people to investigate Su Bai.

The intelligence report mentioned the shop called Wangsheng Hall. According to the information in the report, Wangsheng Hall seems to be a family business with a very long history in Liyue. Even the Liyue Seven Stars would not deliberately make things difficult for Wangsheng Hall.

Hiss, no wonder Hu Tao can communicate with ghosts, no wonder he is not afraid at all when he sees so many corpses and even analyzes the cause of death with great interest. It turns out that Hu Tao is the head of the Hall of Rebirth who often deals with corpses. Then all of this can be explained.

Yura suddenly realized that this made sense. Wait, if she remembered correctly, Hu Tao had just recommended the Rebirth Hall's package to her, right? And her best friend Amber had even said she would promote the Rebirth Hall for Hu Tao in Mondstadt, hadn't she?

Yura's face darkened at the thought that the Mondstadt people might give Amber a good scolding after finding out what the Hall of Rebirth was for. No, she had to find some time to have a good talk with Amber.

"Hu Tao, I've taken the photos. Now it's up to you."

After Amber finished taking photos of the deceased with trembling hands, she immediately rushed into Yura's arms. If it weren't for her duty as a scout knight that compelled her to finish taking photos of these dead adventurers so that their families could identify them, she probably would have run away long ago.

"Alright, alright, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Everyone said to let me do it, but you insisted on doing it yourself."

Yura patted Amber on the shoulder. The corpses in front of her were indeed quite distorted, and she felt a chill just looking at them, let alone Amber. After all, not every girl is named Kurumi.

"It's alright, Amber. You'll get used to it once you see it more often. Look, I'm not afraid at all."

Chapter 199 Each with Their Own Dilemmas (2)

"Paimon, what time is it now?"

"According to my judgment, Paimon, it should be time for the 10th meal now."

"Ten meals, that's three days! Ugh, I don't want to eat grilled frozen meat anymore! Why is there only mint and frozen meat in the snow mountain?"

Ying was getting a little frustrated. They had been wandering around this snow mountain for three whole days, and they still didn't know what kind of structure it was. The various cave entrances were crisscrossed, and they couldn't find the cave that might contain the fragments of the Frostfire Nail.

"Ying, if you don't eat, I'll eat your portion."

Hearing Ying's long sigh, Paimon reached out her little hand to take Ying's portion and eat it, but before she could even touch the roast meat, Ying had already taken it away.

"Paimon, are you trying to starve me to death??"

"Hey!"

Ying sighed and didn't say anything more. She had already sensed that someone was deliberately leading them down the wrong path. The avalanche that happened on their journey that day was too strange, as if someone had been watching them all along.

She took a big bite of the grilled meat in her hand, the oil and mint flavors exploding in her mouth. Although the taste and texture were top-notch, she couldn't resist eating grilled meat for every meal for three days straight. Now, Ying just wanted to eat some vegetables.

"Mona, how do you manage to eat so much meat and not get tired of it at all? I feel like if I keep eating like this, my face will become greasy."

"Well, it's nothing really. If you stick to vegetable salads for three months straight, I think you'll start to enjoy meat as much as I do."

Mona happily stuffed the last piece of meat into her mouth. Although eating meat so early in the morning was a bit greasy, it was still within an acceptable range.

“Ying, you don’t need to worry so much. I’ve already used the water mirror to record the places we’ve been, and I’ve also recorded the places where avalanches have occurred. Now, with just a little time, I think I should be able to divine where the cave we’re looking for is.”

“Klee wants to help too, Klee feels like she’s gotten fat.”

Klee's words resonated with Ying and Mona. Girls naturally care about their figures, and after eating grilled frozen meat these past few days, they both felt they had gained quite a bit of weight. However, Mona wasn't as resistant to gaining weight because she knew she could lose weight again after buying the latest divination device next month.

As for Shen He, Ying looked at Shen He with some envy. She wondered how Shen He maintained his figure. Shen He had been eating more than her and Mona these days, but he hadn't gained any weight. Could it be that cultivating immortal techniques could help him maintain his figure?

If that's the case, Ying feels she needs to learn some magic from Su Bai. Noticing the envious looks in Ying and Mona's eyes, Shen He was a little puzzled.
