Genshin Impact: The Sage's Disciple Doesn't Want Fame

Just like paving roads and building bridges, Ji Ming is now gradually establishing a connection with the wind element in the distance.

Gradually, Ji Ming stopped walking, and Hu Tao, who was walking ahead, noticed his unusual behavior. She quickly turned back and stood quietly to the side, waiting without asking any questions or disturbing him.

Even the sugar stopped crying and became very well-behaved.

Gradually, Ji Ming was able to control more and more wind elements, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, after all, this place was still some distance from Bubulu.

After automatically practicing his breathing techniques, Ji Ming felt much better. He tried his best to control the wind element, and the increasingly concentrated wind element gradually transformed into an invisible giant hand. Five fingers made of wind element firmly covered Bu Bu Lu.

As the wind element passed through the gaps in the room, Ji Ming instantly became aware of everything inside the Bubu Lodge.

Of course, this feeling is not as clear as seeing with the naked eye, but at least you can feel it.

A young man stood behind the counter fiddling with medicinal herbs, a rope-like object around his neck that occasionally twitched, making him appear to be alive.

Unable to discern the person's expression, Ji Ming could only ascertain their height and movements, but that was enough.

The wind element continued forward, passing over the counter and walls, until it arrived at the last room.

Here, Ji Ming finally spotted a child. He couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl, but he could see that the child was holding a small booklet and was sitting quietly, looking very well-behaved.

It seems that it is indeed the little zombie Qiqi.

In an instant, all the manipulated wind elements completely dissipated. Ji Ming withdrew his supernatural power, and when he opened his eyes, he was already drenched in sweat. Hu Tao was holding a small handkerchief and wiping him from his forehead to his neck, not even sparing his collarbone which was covered by his collar.

"Everyone says that older people are more caring, but I think younger people are just as good."

"I'm only two years younger than you, just two years!"

“Atao, I’ve always thought of you as my little sister, even if you’re two years younger.

"Bite you!"

Ji Mingmei struck again, rolling up his sleeves: "Bite?"

Walnut gritted her teeth and pounced suddenly: "Awooo!"

Ji Ming was horrified, but it was too late. He could only let out a painful howl of resentment and fear.

Damn it, even candy doesn't bite!

Chapter 77 Little Seven-Seven, Big Walnut Loli

Ji Ming wasn't interested in the little zombie, but Hu Tao used both soft and hard tactics, so he had no choice but to comply with the girl's wishes and go with her to Bubulu to capture Qi Qi.

Little zombies are just fictional ghost stories. Although Qiqi is indeed a zombie-like creature, she is essentially a human being, and she even takes the initiative to communicate with people.

Yes, Ji Ming had met Qi Qi quite a few times, especially when he was wandering around the outskirts of Liyue, where he would often encounter the little herbalist who was out gathering herbs.

Qiqi has a very bad memory; she forgets Ji Ming every time, so there's not much difference between meeting him and not meeting him at all.

Hu Tao said with great interest, "Listen, this time you will be my assistant. You will attract Bai Shu's attention in the front hall, and I will sneak into the back hall to kidnap Qi Qi."

Ji Ming asked in confusion, "Tao, why are you so determined to kidnap Qi Qi? I've wanted to ask you this for a long time. Is it because the Hall of Rebirth is short of funds and needs Dr. Bai Shu's huge amount of Mora? Honestly, you've already kidnapped someone's little medicine boy, and the Liyue government isn't doing anything about it."

Hearing Ji Ming's address, Hu Tao raised an eyebrow, her already upturned lips curving upwards even further. "Are you starting to call me by my name now?"

Not bad, not bad. Although it's a bit old-fashioned, at least it's more intimate now, isn't it?

"Qiqi is not a living person. She escaped the fate of reincarnation. Even if this disrupts the rules of the mortal world and the underworld, I do not need to make Qiqi reincarnate again."

"A new cycle, what does that mean? Wait, you're not thinking of killing Qiqi, are you?!"

Ji Ming gasped and quickly grabbed Hu Tao's wrist. No matter how much the girl struggled, he had only one thought: to stop her from doing whatever she wanted.

That's outrageous! While Qiqi may have deviated from the most basic rules, it doesn't warrant inhumane destruction, does it?

This girl, Hu Tao, didn't even ask if others wanted to. Qi Qi, the little medicine boy, definitely didn't want to die, otherwise, given her memory, she certainly wouldn't have developed muscle memory like this, running away as soon as she saw Hu Tao.

Hu Tao retorted, "This has nothing to do with personal will. If my grandfather ever returns to the world of the living, I will treat him the same way I treated Qi Qi. Don't think of me as a bad person, okay?"

Ji Ming was a little embarrassed and let go of her wrist: "Tao, you really do look like a bad guy right now. Promise me you won't catch Qiqi, okay?"

Why the sudden outburst of kindness?

Hu Tao did not refuse, but frowned and asked. In her impression, Ji Ming should not be the kind of person who would do good deeds. Could it be that he has a relationship with Qi Qi?

Even personal relationships are not enough; the cycle of life and death cannot be measured by human relationships.

Seeing the hint of consideration in Hu Tao's eyes, Ji Ming shrugged: "Just consider it me being kind-hearted. Qi Qi is so cute, how could you want to euthanize her?"

"Ew~ Lolicon, death penalty!"

"Huh? How do you know this word?"

Hu Tao said matter-of-factly, "Can't I know? I read a lot of Inazuma light novels recently. Someone like you is a standard lolicon, someone who's going to be stabbed three times and pierced six times."

Ji Ming retorted, "Isn't that unnecessary? I was just praising Qi Qi for being cute. Are you jealous?"

What's there to be jealous of? It's just a little zombie, how can it compare to Lord Hu Tao?

Unless Ji Ming prefers someone like Qi Qi, then Hu Tao has nothing to say.

No, apart from the difference in height, she and Qiqi are almost identical in build...

Damn it! So that's what Ji Ming was planning! He's so cunning!

Hu Tao crossed her arms, her eyes wary, revealing her little tiger teeth: "Don't get any funny ideas, I won't agree to that."

Seeing Hu Tao react, Ji Ming took a half step back, raised his hand to cover the teeth marks on his wrist, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I won't do anything funny, just please don't bite me."

It's hard to believe that anyone would have ulterior motives towards Qi Qi. Ji Ming would never have such thoughts, not even towards Hu Tao.

Anyone who tries anything funny with Qiqi will receive a stern warning from Yanfei. As for Hu Tao, she's a legal loli in a certain sense... umm, a big loli.

After being glared at by Hu Tao, Ji Ming quickly withdrew his gaze, feeling a slight pain where he had been bitten.

I must say, this girl was really ruthless.

Hu Tao snorted, adjusted her ancestral hat, and walked towards Bubulu with her head held high and chest puffed out. She ordered, "Let's go, we're going to arrest Qiqi."

Ji Ming followed closely: "Yeah, it wouldn't be bad to go visit Qi Qi. I haven't seen her in a long time."

Ascending the steps, the doors of Bubulu were wide open. Hu Tao took the lead and walked in, then smiled and looked at Dr. Bai Shu behind the counter.

Good morning, Dr. Bai Shu!

Bai Zhu, who was grinding medicinal powder, looked up. When he saw who it was, the well-mannered doctor couldn't help but darken his face, but still politely asked, "Master Hu, are you sick?"

Hu Tao shook her head frankly: "No, I'm here to take Qi Qi away."

Bai Shu readily agreed: "Qi Qi isn't here. She's gone out to gather herbs and won't be back for several days."

"Don't lie to me. I brought a capable assistant with me this time. He has already scouted out Qiqi's location. He's the one behind me."

Bai Shu's smile remained unchanged: "Who is it? Why do I only see you?"

Hu Tao looked back and saw that Ji Ming, who had been obediently following her just moments before, was nowhere to be seen. She was immediately a little annoyed and unconsciously showed her little tiger teeth again.

Unbeknownst to her, her little tiger teeth seemed to have become a powerful weapon against Ji Ming.

Focusing his gaze on the back hall, having scouted it beforehand, Ji Ming navigated the maze-like corridors and arrived at Qi Qi's hiding place, gently pushing open the wooden door.

Little Qiqi lay on the carpet, quietly flipping through the booklet. Her fingers were a little stiff, which slowed down the speed at which she turned the pages.

Hearing the noise behind her, Qiqi slowly got up from the ground, turned her head to look at Ji Ming, her expression confused, and asked softly, "Who are you?"

Ji Ming smiled: "Qiqi, don't you recognize me again?"

Qi Qi tilted her head and pointed at Ji Ming: "You look familiar, but I can't recognize you. I... I think I've seen you before?"

"Flip through the notebook. Didn't you write my name down in the notebook? My name is Ji Ming."

Qiqi lowered her head and began flipping through Ji Ming's name and picture. She quickly found the page with Ji Ming and muttered to herself, "Ji Ming, loves to eat Qingxin (a type of sweet soup), likes little girls, is a strange boy..."

He had been all smiles, but after listening to Qi Qi's ramblings, Ji Ming couldn't hold back anymore.

After meeting him several times, Qiqi's impression of him was surprisingly like this, making it hard for her to keep a straight face.

Chapter 78 Can I get Qiqi as a gift when I buy medicinal herbs?

"White sugar, so cute."

Qiqi cuddles Baitang and can't put her down. Her eyes light up whenever she sees Baitang, and now she has become a loyal dog lover.

Sugar was quite well-behaved, staying motionless in Qiqi's arms, except for its frantically wagging little tail.

Both the man and the dog were very satisfied with each other, to the point that they completely forgot about Ji Ming standing to the side.

Ji Ming was still struggling with his impression of Qi Qi, and said with a face full of black lines, "Qi Qi, can you talk to me?"

Don't get me wrong, Ji Ming isn't a lolicon. He just really likes Qi Qi, a silly but obedient child, even though she's much older than him. That doesn't stop him from liking her.

Essentially, Ji Ming doesn't like children. Most children are noisy, and he doesn't like noisy environments. He himself doesn't have much patience, and he probably has no intention of having children in the future.

Of course, if it were a half-Qilin daughter with short, dark blue hair and a personality similar to Qi Qi, then Ji Ming would immediately change his expression.

Who says daughters aren't good? This daughter is absolutely wonderful, and her mother must be wonderful too.

In Ji Ming's eyes, Qi Qi is the most perfect and standard image of a daughter, the best little cotton-padded jacket.

Qiqi looked up, bewildered, and asked, "Ji Ming, want to play with the dog together?"

Ji Ming didn't refuse. He walked over, sat down cross-legged, reached out and patted Qi Qi's little head hard, smiling happily: "Playing with dogs is good, playing with dogs is good."
