I'm in Genshin Impact, and I started by teaming up with Luna.

“If you have a credible reason, then this old man would not mind helping you out.”

The old man's words were very clear. With him, seeking immortality is twice as easy; without him, it's fraught with difficulties. That's the difference; it's up to you whether you have any excuses.

"Hey~"

Fengshan Jueyun sighed, looked at Wu Qiu, smiled helplessly, and then looked at the old man, "Since that's how it is, I can only tell the truth."

After saying that, he pointed at Wu Qiu and said, "It was him, it really was him, he..."

Wu Qiu hesitated, unsure whether to stop Feng Shan Jueyun. After all, was it really a good idea to say it? Would it be okay?

“Actually, he sleepwalks and eats Oli Gei at night. We can’t stop him. If you don’t believe me, I’ll knock him out right now and show you.”

Without saying a word, he picked up a large, broken tree that was being used as a stool and swung it around, charging towards Wu Qiu.

Wu Qiu was completely dumbfounded...

"Huh? What do you mean? Me, eat Oli Gei? I f***ing..."

Wu Qiu was furious, but he didn't have time to be angry, because by the time he realized what was happening, Feng Shan Jue Yun had already rushed over, hugging the big tree, and was already in his face.

Holy crap!

Wu Qiu yelled, but there was no time to dodge. It all happened so fast that no one could react in time to help. The old man was even more startled, exclaiming, "Are you crazy, kid?!"

He was about to step forward to stop him when Fengshan Jueyun suddenly stopped and casually threw the tree forward, which landed on Wu Qiu.

Fengshan Jueyun, however, made a nimble backhand grab! He seized the old man's pipe bowl in one swift motion and then spun away to dodge.

And so, Fengshan Jueyun snatched the old man's pipe. It was only then that the old man realized he had been tricked.

"Hehehe, Grandpa Li, now we have a reason. If you don't help us, then your beloved pipe will have to... you know what I mean."

Chapter 171: Delicious

Here's the situation: Wu Qiu is trapped under a broken tree branch. In this emergency, Wu Qiu's first instinct was to push Shuang Xue away, since they were too close and could easily get hurt.

But Fengshan Jueyun's final throw, though not very powerful, was so sudden that Wu Qiu was immediately pinned down. What made Wu Qiu even more unsure whether to be angry or appreciative was that Fengshan Jueyun straightened the object, cleverly avoiding Shuangxue and only pinning Wu Qiu down.

This was clearly intentional. Wu Qiu was slammed to the ground by that blow. Although he wasn't injured because of his current strength, it really hurt. He landed with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Brother Qiu! Brother Qiu! Are you alright?"

Shuangxue, the silly girl who didn't know them well, panicked the moment she saw Wu Qiu being pressed to the ground. She squatted down and used all her strength to move the broken tree.

The tree meant nothing to Wu Qiu, but it was quite heavy for Shuangxue, a frail ordinary person. Her face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, working very hard to move the broken tree.

Wu Qiu was originally going to get up and kick that peak of Jueyun, but seeing this scene, he instantly felt, "Jueyun, Jueyun, you are indeed a good brother, you have won my heart."

With a gentle push, the broken tree rolled to the side. Of course, in Shuangxue's eyes, it was as if she had pushed it herself.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Qiu lay on the ground with a weak expression, as if to say, "I'm not going to make it, I need artificial respiration."

"Artificial respiration..."

Shuangxue didn't understand, but Ying and the others did. They stepped forward, pulled Shuangxue aside, and said, "Let's go, let's ignore this scoundrel."

"But……"

Shuangxue was being led away, but she still looked back at Wu Qiu with concern. Wu Qiu, however, got up at this moment and looked at Paimon and Ying, who were grinning mischievously. He wondered what kind of friends he had made.

When other guys are chasing girls, their brothers and sisters are there to escort them. But for him, forget about having wingmen, they'd rather have their own men shoot him down with cannons.

On the other side, Fengshan Jueyun confronted the old man, holding a pipe in both hands, looking like he would break it if he didn't agree.

"Yunzi, let me tell you, that pipe is my life. If you dare touch it, believe me, I'll throw you off this cliff today."

"Don't scare me!" Feng Shan Jueyun raised his neck. "Grandpa Li, we really are going to find an immortal to cure our illness, please help us."

After saying that, he tightened his grip slightly and said, "If you don't help us, I'll make sure you lose your life here today."

He pretended to break it. The old man was very anxious and said, "Okay, okay! I promise you, just put it down right now."

"Really?" Feng Shan Jueyun's lips curled into a smile.

“I always keep my word. If I say I'll help you, I will. What, you don't believe me?”

"I believe you, of course I believe you. I was just joking with you, Grandpa. How could I possibly break your manhood?"

With that, Fengshan Jueyun walked up to the old man. He handed the pipe back to him, saying, "But Grandpa Li, you promised to help us, you can't go back on your word."

"You brat!" Taking the pipe, the old man kicked Fengshan Jueyun in the backside. "You've grown wings now, I really can't control you anymore."

He then looked at the others and said, "You, come with me."

After saying that, he left alone, carrying his pipe. The crowd looked at each other, then all their gazes fell upon Fengshan Jueyun.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Li always keeps his word and will definitely help us."

After saying that, Fengshan Jueyun was the first to go inside. Seeing that he had gone in, everyone else followed suit without hesitation.

The teahouse is very large. Although it is a teahouse, as long as you have money, you can buy anything here, including food, clothing, and shelter.

However, it was clear that Fengshan Jueyun had no intention of paying. He sat down at the table near the wall, gestured for everyone to sit down, and then called out to the old man over there, "Grandpa Li, can you get me something to eat? I'm hungry."

"All you ever think about is eating! How dare you say that! Just you wait!"

A voice came from behind, its meaning clear despite the speaker's reluctance. Feng Shan Jueyun smiled, clearly quite used to such situations.

"Hey, Jueyun, you and this old man aren't related by blood, are you? Why did you only come to see him? Where are your parents?"

Paimon looked at the old man and spoke. Fengshan Jueyun was taken aback at first, then smiled bitterly and said, "My parents were both employees here, but a fire took their lives not long after I was born. I was raised by Grandpa Li from a young age. Although he has a bit of a strange temper and we are not related by blood, he will always be my grandfather."

Upon hearing this, everyone's smiling faces froze. Paimon clutched his chest, "So that's how it is... Ah! I'm sorry, I misspoke."

Paimon apologized, while Wu Qiu felt his arm being hugged. Turning his head, he saw Shuangxue also looking sadly at Fengshan Jueyun, probably subconsciously, and had no idea that she had unintentionally hugged Wu Qiu.

However, Wu Qiu saw a hint of envy in her eyes. Wu Qiu could understand that although Feng Shan Jueyun had lost his parents at a young age, he still had a grandfather and had a relatively happy and complete childhood.

As for Shuangxue now, she has no memory of it, not even a single pleasant childhood recollection, and she has no idea where her parents are.

Although Wu Qiu told her story, Wu Qiu didn't know much about it. So for Shuangxue, having a complete childhood memory to recall was such a wonderful thing.

Feeling Wu Qiu's gaze, Shuangxue turned her head and realized that she had subconsciously hugged Wu Qiu. Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Wu Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will take you back to see your sister when I have the chance. Then you will be able to see your home."

Shuangxue's eyes lit up, and she nodded happily, "Yes, I believe you."

Wu Qiu smiled wryly, "Shuanglin has a bad temper. How can I get her to accept me as her brother-in-law?"

Before long, a waiter from the teahouse brought over plates of dishes. Although the teahouse was located outside Jueyun Karst, some distance from Liyue, the food was anything but monotonous.

Looking at the table full of different dishes, Wu Qiu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in his heart, "Teyvat's cooking skills are really amazing!"

"Wow—it looks delicious! Is Grandpa Li such a good cook?"

Paimon flew around over the dishes, his mouth practically watering. Fengshan Jueyun laughed, "Of course! Grandpa Li's cooking is very famous in Liyue."

Ying casually tasted the food, and her eyes lit up immediately. She rested her chin on her hands and exclaimed, "Delicious! Can I learn how to make it?"

"Of course, if you like, I'll ask Grandpa Li to get you a recipe. After all, they're all common home-style dishes, nothing secret."

Is it really that delicious?

Wu Qiu looked at Ying, then at Paimon who had completely disregarded his image, and finally at Shuangxue beside him with a happy smile. He and Wu Xiang Fengzai raised their questions together.

"How delicious can this be? It just looks nice."

The human and the elemental creature gave each other disdainful looks, then took a bite. And then…

"Holy crap! It's delicious!!!"

Yes, that's right, just look at that noise, it's delicious!

Chapter 172: The Pursuit

The meal was devoured in no time. They hadn't eaten anything good for the past few days, so it would be strange if they could resist such delicious food.

Fengshan Jueyun is used to eating like this, while Ying is more reserved, eating quietly though not elegantly. The real discord lies with these three who are indulging in a gluttonous feast.

Paimon Wuqiu and Wuxiang Fengzai were practically ready to devour the plates. Not only did they eat, they also grabbed at each other's food, claiming the chicken leg and the pig's trotter were both his, almost tearing the table apart.

But you can't blame them. Even Shuangxue, this delicate little girl, had oil on her lips from eating, which shows how good the meal was.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the old man arrived. He tossed a blueprint onto the table and said, "Here, the map. Follow this, and you'll reach the Land of Immortality most easily."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Li."

Feng Shan Jueyun put away the map and looked at the old man with a smile. The old man glanced at him and said, "There are still demons in Jueyun Realm. Be careful, or you'll die."

After saying that, he turned and left. Although his words sounded angry, you could clearly hear the concern mixed in.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Fengshan Jueyun spoke softly, then turned to look at everyone. "So, shall we set off now? It's noon now. Looking at the map, if we move quickly, we can arrive before evening."

"If that's the case, let's set off. The sooner we find the immortal, the sooner Xiao Qiuzi can recover."

Ying glanced at Wu Qiu and made a suggestion. Everyone agreed, so they all stood up and walked outside as if they were rejuvenated.

Meanwhile, outside the teahouse, a squad of Thousand Rock Army soldiers had arrived and posted wanted posters on the outside of the teahouse.

"Ahem! Attention everyone, a group of vicious criminals has recently broken into Liyue. They are still on the run. If anyone has seen the person in the portrait, please be sure to report it to the Thousand Rock Army."

The leader shouted, immediately attracting everyone's attention. People gathered around, looking at the drawn wanted posters.

"Why do I feel like they look familiar?"

One of them looked at the portraits of Wu Qiuying, Feng Shanjueyun, and Paimon on the wanted poster and spoke. But then his eyes suddenly widened, and he subconsciously said, "I've seen him before."

The squad leader of the Qianyan Army, who was explaining the details to everyone, was taken aback, and then asked, "Where?"

"Isn't that right?"

The man pointed to the entrance of the teahouse, and everyone looked over. Sure enough, they saw Wu Qiu and his group walking out, chatting and laughing.

Wu Qiu and his group, who had been chatting and laughing, suddenly felt a numbness all over their bodies. When they looked up, they bumped into Qian Yanjun and his group.

Wu Qiu and the others also saw their wanted posters, and for a moment they were all a little embarrassed. The scene fell silent instantly.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Shuangxue, who was behind Wu Qiu, looked up and asked Wu Qiu curiously.

"Hehe... Hehe."

Wu Qiu chuckled dryly, then winked at the Thousand Rock Army in front of him, before grabbing Shuangxue's hand...
