Divine Weapon Warriors: Bind to your goddess and join the chat group

Zhou Tian looked at Qi Qi's repeated message in the chat group and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

[Qiqi: Brother Zhou Tian, ​​Qiqi still wants to drink coconut milk...]

[Qiqi: Coconut milk...it's delicious...]

[Qiqi: Is Brother Zhou Tian there?]

This little zombie's obsession with coconut milk is truly adorable.

Zhou Tian shook his head, and with a thought, opened the group owner's exclusive points shop interface.

"Ten bottles of coconut milk, ten points."

He readily redeemed ten bottles and then sent them to Qiqi privately via the chat function.

[Zhou Tian (private message): Here, drink slowly, and let me know when you're done.]

[Qiqi (private message): Wow, Qiqi has coconut milk to drink again!]

Zhou Tian could even picture Qi Qi holding the coconut milk bottle, looking completely satisfied.

He closed the chat window and looked into the distance.

The giant dragon is moving steadily through the clouds.

The scenery below has gradually changed from the green mountains and clear waters of Yulong Kingdom to mountains and plains covered with snow.

The wind was biting, but for Zhou Tian, ​​who had already reached the Fusion Realm, this chill was nothing.

The pale golden aura that flowed naturally around him kept out the chill, and even his hair remained untouched by the wind.

at the same time.

In the world of Genshin Impact, in Liyue Harbor, at Bubulu.

As evening falls, the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the carved wooden windows, casting warm dappled light into the side rooms of the backyard of Bubulu.

Qiqi sat on the wooden bed in her small room, holding a bottle of coconut milk that had just "appeared" in her arms, swinging her slender legs.

She was wearing her signature purple cheongsam, with talismans pasted on her head, and her purple eyes were focused intently on the milky white porcelain bottle in her hand.

"Coconut milk, given to me by Brother Zhou Tian..."

She muttered to herself, her movements stiff but very careful as she uncorked the bottle.

A rich, sweet milky aroma immediately filled the air.

Qiqi took a deep breath, a look of near happiness on her face.

She held the porcelain bottle in both hands, tilted her head back, and began to drink it down in large gulps.

The sweet liquid slid down my throat, bringing a strange sense of satisfaction.

Qiqi doesn't really remember what the "taste" specifically felt like.

But she knew that drinking coconut milk just tasted really good.

"It tastes good..."

She murmured to herself, a little milk stain accidentally getting on the corner of her mouth.

Just as Qiqi was focused on drinking her milk, a petite figure was stealthily moving along the wall in the corridor outside the room.

The newcomer wore a dark brown Qiankun Tai Gua hat, with a fresh plum blossom pinned to the brim.

She wore a Chinese-style short jacket with a reddish-brown gradient, black shorts and long socks, and carried a long homa staff on her back.

It was Hu Tao, the 77th head of the Rebirth Hall.

She tiptoed, trying not to make a sound, her peach blossom eyes fixed on the crack in Qi Qi's door, muttering to herself:

"Mr. Baizhu went out to collect herbs today, and Agui is dispensing them in the front hall. What a great opportunity!"

Hu Tao had been thinking about burying Qi Qi alive for quite some time.

The reason is actually not complicated.

In Hu Tao's view, Qi Qi is an existence that "should not exist in this world".

As the head of the Rebirth Hall, Hu Tao believes in "the order of life and death, and the balance of yin and yang".

After death, a person's soul should return to heaven and earth and enter the cycle of reincarnation; this is the natural order.

But what about Qiqi?

She had clearly passed away long ago, but the immortals forcibly preserved her soul with the power of talismans.

It became a zombie that could move and had consciousness, but no longer grew or aged.

In Hu Tao's mind, this was a desecration of the boundary between life and death, and a distortion of the laws of nature.

The existence of Qiqi itself is like a crack that should never have appeared, lying between life and death.

Walnut did not have any ill intentions towards Qiqi.

On the contrary, she felt that letting Qiqi "live" like this was the greatest cruelty to her.

Therefore, Hu Tao firmly believes that letting Qi Qi rest in peace and send her to the afterlife is the best "redemption" for her.

Of course, she had told Bai Shu these things countless times, but each time the always smiling doctor gently refused.

Bai Zhu always said, "Qiqi still has unfinished business" and "She is still conscious, so she is not truly dead."

"We must persuade her today, no, we must take her away! Find a propitious burial site and give her a proper rest." Hu Tao clenched her small fist, her eyes resolute.

She quietly moved to the door and peeked inside through the crack.

Qiqi was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a bottle of milky white liquid, sipping it slowly, her expression one of rare relaxation and contentment.

Hu Tao was taken aback.

What is that? It smells... so good.

It was a sweet fragrance she had never smelled before, rich yet not cloying, with the mellow aroma unique to dairy products.

Qiqi seemed to really enjoy it, drinking with such concentration that she didn't even notice someone outside the door.

Hu Tao's prepared remarks suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Looking at Qiqi's cherished and contented expression, a slight stirring occurred to her.

So this little zombie can actually have such an "alive" expression?

As if guided by some unseen force, Hu Tao gently pushed open the door.

"Squeak."

The sound of the door hinges turning made Qiqi pause.

She slowly turned her head, her purple pupils looking towards the doorway, her expression returning to its usual blank and dazed state.

"Hu Tao?" She recognized the person, her tone flat. "You're here to bury Qi Qi again?"

Hu Tao was asked so directly, and a rare hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

She coughed lightly, strode into the room, and closed the door behind her.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that today."

Hu Tao moved closer to Qi Qi, her plum-blossom eyes staring curiously at the porcelain bottle in her hand.

"What are you drinking? It smells delicious."

Qiqi looked down at the coconut milk, then looked up at the walnut, seemingly dealing with this simple problem.

After a few seconds, she slowly replied:

"The coconut milk was given to me by Brother Zhou Tian."

"Coconut milk?" Hu Tao blinked. "Brother Zhou Tian? Who's that? The new milk merchant from Liyue Harbor? I've never heard of him before?"

Qi Qi shook her head, her tone still flat:

"Qiqi doesn't know. Brother Zhou Tian brought Qiqi coconut milk from a very far place."

"A very far place?"

Walnut was even more confused.

"How was it delivered? To your door?"

Qiqi thought about it again, but with her little brain, it seemed completely impossible for her to put the words together.

She spoke haltingly and illogically, and Hu Tao couldn't understand her at all.

Hu Tao frowned slightly. "What strange stuff? You haven't been scammed, have you?"

She stared at the bottle of coconut milk, finding it increasingly suspicious. How could she drink something of unknown origin?

"Let me see." Hu Tao held out her hand.

Qiqi hesitated for a moment, but still obediently handed over the bottle of coconut milk that was still more than half full.

Hu Tao took the porcelain bottle; it was slightly cool to the touch. She brought it close to the mouth of the bottle and smelled it.

The sweet aroma became even more pronounced, without any off-putting smell of herbs or toxins, just a pure and enticing milky fragrance.

She stared at the milky white liquid for a few seconds, then looked at Qiqi.
