"Uh..." Pursing his lips, Yu Qi carefully felt the strange taste that gradually faded away on the tip of his tongue. He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Let me make it clear first, I'm not a professional gourmet, so I may not be able to give you too many professional opinions on this dish."

"It's okay. I modified these dishes for ordinary people to eat. I even made the slime gel liquid harmless. It's just right for you to evaluate it."

"Okay then." Yu Qi thought for a moment and said, "After adding the coagulated liquid to the stir-fried shrimp, the taste becomes a little strange, like meat jelly wrapped outside, but without the fishy smell of meat jelly; the sticky coagulated liquid locks in the freshness of the shrimp very well, which is probably an advantage."

"Yeah, I knew that using slime gel to thicken the soup would definitely be better than using ordinary starch water."

Looking at the delighted Xiangling, Yu Qi did not pause, but decisively poured her a basin of cold water: "But this dish is not without its flaws. Although the condensate itself has no taste, it has a very subtle smell of fireworks after being stir-fried.

You may not feel it when you first eat it, because all the flavors will be covered by the freshness of the shrimp. But when you swallow the shrimp and the freshness fades, the condensate itself adheres to the mouth, so the smell of fireworks also remains in the mouth and becomes slightly more noticeable. "

Hearing this, Xiangling picked up the chopsticks without hesitation, put the same shrimp into her mouth, chewed, swallowed, and then savored it carefully.

Seeing Xiang Ling's frown, Yu Qi smiled and said, "Of course, ordinary people can't taste this flavor. Even I only discovered it after tasting it carefully!"

I don't know if it's because of the time travel, but Yu Qi always feels that his sense of taste seems to have become much more sensitive, or maybe it's the influence of 'food qi'?

Recalling the differences between eating yesterday and today, Yu Qi nodded secretly and had a vague guess.

After standing there for a long while, Xiangling finally tasted the 'flavor of fireworks' that Yu Qi mentioned. It was very light and not very noticeable. Just as Yu Qi said, ordinary people would not be able to taste it.

In other words, her dish can actually be considered a successful innovation.

But for Xiangling, who is a chef, now that she has discovered the shortcomings of the dish, there is absolutely no way she can just ignore it.

"I must find a way to improve it. Let me think, should I use Dudu Lian or Qing Xin~" Muttering to herself, Xiangling picked up the bowl and took two mouthfuls of rice. Then she stood up and ran straight to the stove which was still burning and started working again.

"Uh..." Looking at Xiang Ling who was concentrating on looking for materials and constantly trying new things, Yu Qi couldn't help but be stunned. He never expected that she would become so... focused because of his words.

Subconsciously glancing at Guoba, Yu Qi cast a questioning look, but what he saw was a pair of confused eyes.

"Lul? Lul?" He raised his chubby paws and scratched his head. Seeing that Yu Qi seemed to have finished eating, Guoba picked up the 'Stir-fried Shrimp with Condensate' in front of him and poured it into his own mouth. Under Yu Qi's stunned gaze, he cleared out all the food on the wooden block like a gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"Ah? Hey, Guoba?" Trying to reach out to stop Guoba, Yu Qi said helplessly: "Leave some for Xiangling, she hasn't eaten yet!"

"Lul, lulul~" Guoba called softly while chewing the food in his mouth, as if explaining something to Yu Qi, but unfortunately he didn't understand what he meant at all. He could only watch Guoba complete a perfect clean plate.

"Tsk..." Picking up a plate, Yu Qi looked at the shiny bottom of the plate and couldn't help but complain: "This level of cleanliness is probably not even as good as the so-called seven-times-washed dishes in Japan. You are quite good at eating."

This is not an exaggeration by Yu Qi. In fact, after eating each dish, Guoba would spit out a ball of fire from his mouth, sweeping away the grease and dirt on the plate.

To be honest, excluding the psychological barrier (referring to the fact that the dishes and chopsticks had been used by a bear), Yu Qi really didn't think that hand washing could be cleaner than this.

Ignoring Yu Qi's complaints, Guoba, who had eaten his fill, nodded at him while holding his round ball. Then he took small steps and ran directly to Xiangling, squatting beside the stove and watching her experimenting with new dishes.

Whenever Xiangling was dissatisfied with a failed product, it would swallow it without any disgust. It looked so greedy, as if the food on the table was not eaten by it at all.

Xiangling also looked as if she was used to it and didn't care about Guoba's behavior at all.

"...Okay!" Yu Qi raised his hand to cover his forehead and sighed softly: "A magical world, magical people, and magical red pandas, this is probably what the other world should look like!"

Well, it’s not bad!

The clouds gradually deepened and heavy rain suddenly came.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu Qi. It's because I was too obsessed with cooking that I've been delayed until now." With her head hung down and hiding under a huge rock, Xiang Ling looked at the continuous rain in front of her and whispered an apology to Yu Qi who was soaking wet beside her.

"Hiss~ How can I blame you, Miss Xiangling?" The cold wind blew past, and Yu Qi shivered slightly. He said helplessly: "No one could have expected that the good weather would change so suddenly."

It was sunny just now, but in the blink of an eye it turned into heavy rain. The weather changed faster than a woman's face.

Unable to help but shiver again, Yu Qi looked at the gradually wet ground at his feet, with a worried look on his face: "The problem now is that it's getting dark, and it's almost night time, how are we going to get back to the camp?

We can't stay here overnight. It's raining so hard, it won't be long before this place is flooded."

Fortunately, Xiangling has the Fire God's Eye, strong physique, and can use elemental power to maintain her body temperature at night. Even if it rains and is flooded, there will be no problem. But Yu Qi is not like that.

He is still an ordinary person now. Coupled with staying up late and irregular diet for many years, his physique is in a sub-healthy state. Even with the strengthening of "food qi", he can't recover to a healthy level so quickly. If he really spends a night in the wind and rain, he will definitely catch a severe cold.

And for some reason, Yu Qi had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that if he really got sick now, it would very likely develop into a life-threatening situation!

Looking at Yu Qi shivering in the cold wind, Xiang Ling bit her lower lip lightly. Although she didn't know how Yu Qi felt, she could clearly see that his cheeks were getting paler and his eyes were getting dazed, as if he might fall down at any time.

Obviously, if this continues, Yu Qi will most likely get into trouble; and if it happens in a place like this...

After thinking for a moment, Xiangling stood up and walked into the rain curtain, running wildly towards the distance.

Before Yu Qi could come to his senses, her figure disappeared. Only a faint voice could be heard from afar: "Mr. Yu Qi, please wait here for a while. I will go back to the camp to get rain gear. Guoba, please protect Mr. Yu Qi from being attacked by monsters..."

'chatter?!!!!'

"Hey, Xiangling..." Yu Qi never expected Xiangling to do this. He wanted to call her, but his voice could not be heard far away amid the noisy rain.

In the end, he could only shrink back under the rock helplessly, using his backpack to block the cold wind blowing from both sides of his body, looking into the distance worriedly, praying that nothing would happen to Xiangling, while at the same time, he couldn't stop having wild thoughts in his mind.

On such a horrible rainy day, no one knew whether there would be any natural disasters such as landslides and mud-rock flow in the mountainous Qingxupu. If Xiangling was affected, then... even if she was the holder of the Eye of God, she would definitely not be immune!

When Yu Qi thought of Xiangling, a young girl who died just because she got an umbrella for him, his heart couldn't help but tighten, and suffocating pressure emerged in his heart.

"Haha, I'm really a burden!" With a wry smile, he couldn't help but clench his fists, looking up at the rain curtain that almost completely covered the sky and the earth. For the first time since he came here, his heart was so eager for powerful strength.

Even when he almost faced the Hillilians, it was not like this.

"Huff, huff, huff..." His breathing was a little heavy. Yu Qi could feel his body getting colder and colder. A feeling of dizziness surged into his heart. He tentatively raised his hand and touched his forehead. It was a little hot. It was obvious that he had a cold.

This poor body can no longer support itself.

Silently glancing at the side and also looking at the rice crust in the distance with the same worry, Yu Qi licked his dry lips. His consciousness seemed to have begun to become blurred, but the strange thing was that his mind was working faster and faster.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, a card that only he could see appeared before his eyes, on which was vaguely depicted a blurry and illusory figure.

"Two-star card: Strong Soul!"

Yu Qi tried hard to concentrate on the figure on the card. Without hesitation, he chose to activate it. An illusory ball of light appeared in front of him, and a nearly non-existent figure vaguely appeared in Yu Qi's field of vision.

"Sorry~" Yu Qi seemed to murmur unconsciously, and cast an apologetic look at the figure, then suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the ball of light in front of him.

The blurry figure paused slightly, looked around, and seemed to understand the current situation. A faint laugh sounded, and then it changed into countless spots of light and sank into Yu Qi's body.

'Blessings... gratitude... salvation...'

"Huh?" As if he had noticed something, Guoba suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Qi who closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. He scratched his head in confusion, and then turned his head to look into the distance again, without noticing the fleeting faint light on Yu Qi's body.

…………

His consciousness continued to sink, as if falling into the deep sea, but Yu Qi did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, there was a particularly reassuring feeling lingering around him, which made him want to wander in it.

In a trance, the darkness in front of his eyes seemed to fade away a little, and Yu Qi vaguely saw a tall and blurry figure, whose mouth opened and closed as if telling him something. Then, as the figure waved his hand gently, a dazzling light flashed, and Yu Qi's consciousness fell into sleep again.

until……

'wu~'

"Hmm~" The faint sound coming from his ear woke Yu Qi from his sleep. He opened his eyes confusedly. The dazzling sunlight shining from the top of his head made him unable to help but raise his hands to cover his eyes.

"here it is?"

"Ah, Mr. Yu Qi, you finally woke up!"

As if Yu Qi's voice was heard, a cry of surprise came from not far away, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps, and Xiang Ling appeared in front of Yu Qi at a trot, followed closely by a tall strange figure.

"I, cough cough..." He opened his mouth to ask something, but the dryness and pain in his throat made Yu Qi cough uncontrollably.

Yu Qi took the warm water from Xiang Ling who looked nervous and drank it in one gulp. He instantly felt his throat become much more comfortable. "What happened to me? Didn't I hide from the rain under a rock before?"

"Ah, Mr. Yu Qi, you scared me to death!" Seeing that Yu Qi seemed to be fine, Xiang Ling raised her hand and patted her small and plump breasts. Her hoarse voice even carried a hint of tears as she explained, "It was raining before, so I ran back to the camp to get you rain gear. But when I came back, I found you lying under a rock, all hot and unconscious."

Chapter 8 Yu Qi and the Pharmacist's Request

"I was so scared at the time. I almost thought you were dying, Mr. Yu Qi. I finally brought you back to the camp, but your fever got even worse. Your body was so hot it was scary.

Later, because I was short of cold-repellent medicine, I had no choice but to run out in the rain to collect herbs. I happened to run into Doctor Bai who was also out collecting herbs. After I brought him over, I was able to barely save you. "

As she spoke, Xiangling turned around and made a guiding gesture to the tall man behind her, saying, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is Doctor Bai Zhubai.

The chief physician of Bubu Lu in Liyue Port, his medical skills are well-known throughout Liyue Port. If he hadn't helped this time, Mr. Yu Qi, I'm afraid you really wouldn't have survived."

Following Xiangling's gesture, Yu Qi looked at Doctor Bai Zhu, who had been staring at him without saying a word since he entered the room. In the slightly dim tent, the man was fighting with his back to the light, making it difficult for Yu Qi to see his appearance clearly.

However, as the person who was rescued, Yu Qi was still very grateful and said, "Thank you for your help, Doctor Bai!"

"No problem." He smiled and shook his head. Bai Zhu slowly approached and took a look at Yu Qi's expression before saying, "It is the duty of doctors like me to cure diseases and save lives. There is nothing to thank you for."

After saying that, he raised his hand to stop Yu Qi from sitting up, and his expression became serious: "But, do you know why you fainted this time?"

"Ah?" Blinking in confusion, Yu Qi subconsciously looked at Xiang Ling beside him, but unexpectedly saw a deep sense of guilt in her eyes. Her eyes flickered, as if she didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Isn't it because I caught a cold after being caught in the rain?"

Having said this, Yu Qi turned his head to look at Bai Zhu again. As the distance was closer, he could finally see Bai Shu's true appearance.

Long green hair hung on her shoulders, with a faint smile on her face, and a pair of golden eyes looked her up and down. Looking closely, Yu Qi was surprised to find that Bai Zhu's eyes had slender pupils similar to those of a snake, while the slender white snake coiled around his shoulders had round pupils similar to those of humans, as if they had exchanged eyes with each other.

He was wearing a Tianshui blue short-sleeved shirt with a stand-up collar and a front opening, which exposed his waist and a cloak hanging from his shoulders. Yu Qi could faintly smell the fragrance of plants and medicinal herbs. An emerald green belt was tied with an emerald eye of God, and below him were mushroom purple cropped trousers and black cloth shoes.

At first glance, Yu Qi felt a sense of compassion and saving people, which made him feel a liking for him. But he didn't know if it was an illusion, Yu Qi could vaguely feel that under Doctor Bai Zhu's smile, there seemed to be a little tiredness and...weakness?

How could that be? I must be feeling it wrong!

He secretly shook his head and shook off the thought. Yu Qi didn't think that a doctor who enjoyed a high reputation throughout the country would not be able to take care of his own body.

Not knowing what Yu Qi was thinking, Bai Zhu pondered for a moment and replied, "Not entirely. To be precise, getting wet in the rain was only a trigger. What really made you faint and even nearly endangered your life was actually the erosion of your body by the elemental force."

"Erosion by elemental forces?" Yu Qi frowned, a little puzzled: "How do you mean? I don't seem to have been attacked by elemental forces. How could I be eroded?"

"That's not the case." Shaking his head, Bai Zhu turned and glanced at Xiang Ling: "Can you tell me about that?"

Xiang Ling lowered her head in shame and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu Qi. Because I wanted to treat you, I told Mr. Bai that you were from another world. If you want to blame me, just scold me!"

"Uh..." Yu Qi looked at Xiang Ling in surprise, and was silent for a moment, but finally shook his head gently: "How can I blame you? After all, you are trying to save me; and since I have already told you about this, it is no longer a secret. If I really want to say it, I have to thank you very much.

In order to save me, you ran back to the camp to get rain gear, and brought me back in the rain. In the end, you even risked your life to help me pick herbs. The favors I owe you are growing more and more!"

"No, no, no, it's okay. There's no such thing as gratitude or not." Waving her hands repeatedly, Xiang Ling rejected Yu Qi's gratitude. She scratched her cheek and smiled widely, "It's what I should do. I believe that if you were in that situation, Mr. Yu Qi, you would not abandon me!

Hehe, Mr. Yu Qi, I hope you don't blame me!"

As she was talking, Xiangling's nose suddenly moved, as if she smelled something, and she suddenly screamed, "Oh no, my porridge is burnt. Mr. Yu Qi, Mr. Bai, you guys chat first, I'm going to prepare breakfast!"

After saying that, he grabbed Guoba, who was lying on a stool and eating melon silently, and ran out of the tent in a hurry.

"Guoba, come and light the fire."

After watching Xiangling leave for a while, Bai Zhu turned around and looked at Yu Qi and said, "According to what Xiangling said before, you are a human from another world. You came to Teyvat around noon two days ago, right?"

"Yes, that's true." Glancing at the faint light shining through the tent door, Yu Qi realized that he should have slept for the entire night.

"This is the crux of the matter." Nodding, Bai Zhu raised his hand, and a green light appeared at his fingertips: "I don't know what the world you originally came from is like, but compared to that world, there shouldn't be any energy like elemental force, right?

As a world where all things in the world are made up of elemental forces, every area of ​​Teyvat, including water, plants, earth, and even air and sunlight, is filled with different types of elemental forces. The content of these elemental forces is very thin, and the people of Teyvat who have lived here for generations have already developed some resistance in their bodies.

But as a visitor from another world, Mr. Yu Qi, you are different. Your body has never been exposed to elemental force before, so naturally you do not have the ability to resist the erosion of elemental force.

When you come to Teyvat, as you breathe and move, the elemental force in the air enters your body, and then..."

"Then, it started to erode my body, right!" With a bitter smile, Yu Qi sighed helplessly, "This is really an unprovoked disaster!"

It would be fine if he traveled to a dangerous area full of monsters, but now even the air in the other world is "toxic" to him. So what on earth did he travel here for?

To die?

"That's why I understand it." Bai Shu nodded. Of course, what he didn't say was that if it were any other normal environment, Yu Qi wouldn't have gotten into trouble so soon. However, Qingxu Pu is an area with abnormal earth veins, and the concentration of elemental force exceeds the standard. Even normal people in Teyvat would have problems if they stayed there for a long time, let alone Yu Qi.

At this moment, the white snake on Bai Shu's neck suddenly interrupted and said, "Don't worry, kid. Although you were eroded by elemental power before, since Bai Shu was able to save you, it means that this problem has been solved."

"solved?"

"Yes." Nodding, Bai Zhu looked at Yu Qi with a strange look in his eyes, and there was also a sense of voyeurism that made Yu Qi feel quite uneasy: "Just as Changsheng said, when I was treating you, I found that your body was getting stronger steadily at a slow speed, adapting to the surrounding environment. When Xiangling found me, you had even begun to digest the elemental power in your body.

According to my calculations, even without my help in clearing the corrosive elemental forces, you will be able to completely adapt to the environment of Teyvat within three days."

"Rather, my actions have actually done more harm than good. I should have only helped you cure your cold. Now, you may need another week to get used to it!"

“How can that be possible?” Shaking his head vigorously, Yu Qi said helplessly: “If I really lie here for three days, not to mention whether the environment in Qingxupu is dangerous or not, Miss Xiangling will probably be worried and unable to sleep or eat.
