Hearing this, Ke Qing opened her eyes slightly, and just as she was about to express her thoughts about Ye Boshi, she put a finger on her lips.
Glancing at Xue Kui who was holding her neck first, Ke Qing tilted her head in doubt, but didn't say anything else.
"Hey~ Although you two felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange when you first met, your relationship actually progressed so fast!"
Paimon didn't notice Xue Kui interrupting Ke Qing's words, but his eyes lit up when the two showed unusual intimacy, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
Sora gave the two of them an awkward smile expressing apology, and immediately explained the purpose of coming to change the subject.
"Mr. Zhongli said that high-quality balm is an indispensable item in the gift ceremony. Let us ask Xuekui for help."
"That's right! Zhongli also said that you are the ancestor of balm, is that true?"
Paimon's focus was always on some weird places, but this time even Keqing was aroused, and looked at Xuekui with some surprise.
"You still have such a title?"
Although it is not surprising that Xue Kui, who is highly skilled, knows how to make balm, but this kind of object, which is mostly used by women, is incompatible with the white-haired fairy no matter how you look at it.
"How can there be such a strange title? But the original balm is indeed from here."
Seeing Xue Kui had a gentle smile on his face when he mentioned the balm, Ke Qing became more and more curious.
"Originally it was just a failed product when researching prescriptions, but it became popular among humans inexplicably... If you are interested in the story behind it, I will tell you later, it is better to complete these two for now. Please don't let Xiandianyi (Morax's plan) go wrong."
Noticing Keqing's interested gaze, Xuekui made a promise to him.
"We want to listen too!"
Paimon raised his hand high.
"Okay, okay, let's get down to business first. I don't have any ready-made balm around me, so let's start by collecting the raw materials."
"What are the ingredients?"
"The raw materials of balm are mostly flowers with their own fragrance, so the next step is to buy flowers first."
Keqing, who knew a certain amount of balm knowledge, answered Paimon's question.
Xue Kui shook his head at Ke Qing's answer.
"It's true that the raw materials are flowers, but you can't buy the best raw materials in flower shops."
"If you want the most suitable flowers, you need to find them in the wild."
A trace of memory appeared in Xue Kui's eyes.
It is also a good pastime to do the stupid things of the past occasionally.
22. There may be surprises
"Xuekui, aren't those flowers allowed just now?"
On the plain, after seeing Xuekui shaking his head at several neon flowers one after another, Paimon couldn't help asking questions.
"Let's put it this way, Paimon. Take the sweet flower stuffed chicken you tasted before as an explanation. It is obviously the same dish. You will find that some taste too sweet and greasy, while others are just right, right?"
Paimon scratched his head.
"It seems so."
"Which do you prefer?"
"Of course it was just fine!"
"But yours is just right, and others may think it is too sweet or too weak."
Paimon put his hand on his chin, made a look of thinking, and suddenly realized.
"You mean, for things like balm, some people like it to be more fragrant, while others like it to be milder?"
For matters related to food, Paimon's head has always been moving very quickly.
Xue Kui nodded, his expression immediately became a little helpless.
"And the balm that Morax likes has the hardest raw material to find. What a troublesome fellow."
"Which type do you like if you are the King of Rock?"
As soon as she heard something related to Dijun, Keqing became excited. As for Xue Kui's address to Yan Wang Dijun...it can only be said that habit is a terrible force.
"...The one with the most extravagant and strong smell, in layman's terms, is the kind of balm that the big sister type of human beings are used to on their bodies."
big sister?
Kong and Paimeng looked at each other, a little confused about Yanshen's temperament, even Keqing couldn't help opening his eyes wide, surprised by this.
"What are you all looking surprised for? A balm suitable for a person must have a corresponding connection with his personality. The world regards Morax as a calm god, but that calm comes from It is due to the precipitation of time and the sense of security brought by its strength."
Xue Kui, who led the crowd through the flowers, explained to them while inspecting the flowers.
"But Morax is a flamboyant guy at heart. He actually prefers things with exaggerated forms. Luxurious and impactful objects are more pleasing to him, even if they look at ordinary things. There is a high probability that there is an extraordinary meaning behind it.”
"So, the type of balm with a strong smell is what he likes, and to make that kind of balm, the requirements for the neon flower itself are very high, and it is probably the most powerful flower among its kind."
Paimon seemed to be covering his head with a headache.
"Well, it does feel a little troublesome for you to say that."
"However, luck is not bad, have you noticed any changes around you?"
Paimon looked around and tilted his head slightly.
Sora, who didn't talk much, suddenly spoke.
"It seems that the number of flowers is decreasing?"
Xue Kui smiled after hearing this, and looked at an unusually bright red neon flower in front of him. Even from such a long distance, he could still smell a faint sweet fragrance.
Looking around again, the group of flowers avoids, leaving only its fragrance.
Xue Kui picked off the two flowers from the crowd of red leaves. After observing for a while, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and smiled apologetically at everyone.
"Before going back, accompany me to collect another material."
"Aren't the neon clothes and flowers enough?"
After Keqing asked the question, she found that Xuekui's expression became a little strange, as if she was worried about something.
It was the first time she saw Xue Kui's expression of a little fear in the midst of embarrassment.
"It is enough to make the balm for sending the fairy ceremony, and then I will trouble you to accompany me to deal with private matters. If someone knows that I only prepared balm for Morax, I will It might not be very safe.”
The faces of Kong, Paimeng, and Keqing were occupied by doubts, while Guobeng, who had been keeping silent behind everyone, looked thoughtful.
Speaking of which, after they came back this time, did they not report to that person that they were safe?
Thinking of the relationship between Xue Kui and that playful beauty, Guo Beng pressed down on the brim of his hat, and immediately planned to hide his sense of existence from now on, so as not to be affected later.
After wandering around in the field for a while, several people saw Xue Kui holding a few blue and white flowers in his arms, and Ke Qing recognized that it was a kind of flower called Liuli Lily.
This kind of flower is very popular in the city of the end, and it is rumored that they were planted by the demon god who built the city of the end.
Keqing recalled the book "Records of the Immortals Yashas", which described not only the stories of five immortals Yashas, but also the famous character White Yashas.
After sorting out the relationship between Li Guizhong and Xue Kui, Ke Qing suddenly understood what the white-haired immortal was doing.
It turned out that I was going back to see my parents...
It's just that Ke Qing doesn't know yet that Xue Kui's "parent" is also an acquaintance of hers.
......
Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Kui skillfully completed the brewing of the balm.
Although he has not been involved in making ointment for a long time, the process is almost the same as boiling medicine, and he has never given up on making ointment.
After successfully obtaining the balm, everyone returned to Liyue Port, and Ke Qing was the first to leave the team.
After saying hello and agreeing to meet Xue Kui in the evening, she left everyone behind and rushed towards Yujing Terrace in a hurry.
After so many days away from the post, she was already starting to feel scared thinking about what the people under her would do.
As for Xue Kui, who was standing at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, his mood was not very stable. He was taking a deep breath to adjust his mental state.
The two travelers, who had gained a sense of security from Xue Kui in the past, also became nervous at this moment, staring at the gate in front of them in anticipation.
How difficult is the existence that can make Xue Kui feel uneasy?
There was a knock on the door, and after the two travelers swallowed unconsciously, the voice coming from behind the door was an energetic girl's voice.
"Come on, come on! There are only two guests in the Hall of Rebirth now, and the hall master has gone out to run errands."
Listening to the sounds from far and near, Kong and Paimon even felt a little familiar.
The door was pushed open, and it was the woman who lent them the dust bell before, who appeared in front of Kong. The other party didn't notice them now, and seemed to be only staring at Xue Kui.
Soon, the corners of the girl's mouth that were originally raised to welcome the guests gradually calmed down, and then began to droop even further.
The pursed woman raised her fists high and beat Xue Kui one after another.
Kong and Paimon cast shocked glances at this.
Miss!this lady!stop it!Do you know who you are hitting!
What made the two even more at a loss was that Xue Kui seemed to have been prepared for this, and directly squatted down with his head in his hands, without any thought of resistance.
"You brat, you brat! I didn't know until Zhongli said that that day, so you've already returned, and you didn't come to see me for so many days!"
Facing Guili who showed an o(≧mouth≦)o posture, Xue Kui, who knew he was wrong, chose not to say a word.
He originally planned to find the end, but after meeting Keqing, too many unplanned things happened, and in the end he temporarily forgot about it.
Although there is a reason, it is the kind of reason that cannot be said.
If you let Gui finally know that he left her behind because of another woman, maybe there will be a lot of fuss.
So... Morax!You haven't come out to save the scene!
"Okay, okay~ I've already reached this age, do you even care about a few days? Is your concept of time really assimilated with human beings?"
The person who pulls Guili away is not Zhongli as Xuekui expected, but a heroic young woman.
"Sister Ping'er?"
Xue Kui stood up and looked at the young A Ping.
"you are not......"
A Ping, who came to be a guest but started to coordinate family conflicts instead, shook her head and interrupted Xue Kui's words, and looked helplessly at Gui Li, who was still struggling restlessly even though she held her hands from behind.
"If you want to have this guy around, if I become an old man, there will be more strange sights around me."
Xue Kui glanced at Gui Li with an unhappy expression on his face, reluctantly took out a small box from his bosom, and turned his head in another direction.
"Here, a present."
Gui Li, who was still annoyed at first, suddenly smiled and winked, and A Ping, who saw this scene, also let go of the restraint on her with a helpless dry smile.
"It's balm! It's been so long, and the gift is still so old-fashioned."
Although she said disgusting words, Gui Li smiled and patted Xue Kui on the shoulder. It always made people feel that she was very happy now.
"Huh? The handsome blond guy and the cute elf, I remember meeting you. You were the ones who ran errands for Zhongli before?"
At this time, Guili finally noticed the two travelers beside him.
"I got to know Zhongli again, and I also got to know Xue Kui, a kid. It seems that our fate is not shallow."
Sora's eyelids twitched.
"child......"
Sensing Kong's confusion, Xue Kui turned his head, his voice weak.
"She used to be called Gui Zhong. Like Morax, she was a demon god. She could be considered my senior."
"What do you mean by 'sort of'? I am the parent who watched you grow up!"
After all, he puffed up his cheeks and was a little dissatisfied with Xue Kui's words.
Xue Kui clicked his tongue impatiently and looked away.
Kong and Paimeng showed polite smiles exclusive to outsiders, but their hearts were full of déjà vu to the scene in front of them.
I always feel...these two are like natural mothers and rebellious children.
