Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"No, no, no!" Seeing the fierce look in Hu Tao's eyes, Jiang Bai quickly waved his hands to prove his innocence. "It's because Little Ghost is too cute that I laughed, not because I was laughing at you getting burned, Hall Master!"

When Jiang Bai said it was cute, Little Ghost picked it up with its little hands, pouted, and imitated Hu Tao's angry expression.

It's a vicious underworld official, not cute at all!

"Really?" Hu Tao didn't believe it.

"Really, really!" Jiang Bai raised one hand to prove his innocence. "I swear to God, I absolutely did not mean to Laughing Hall Master..."

"Boom—"

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderclap resounded in the sky.

Jiang Bai pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, and looked at the dark sky in shock.

He was just making a vow, and he hadn't even finished making the vow yet, so why was there thunder?

Hu Tao looked at his guilty look and gave him a disdainful expression.

"See? Even God couldn't stand it anymore!"

Jiang Bai chuckled awkwardly, changing the subject, "Look at all those dark clouds in the sky, the weather's probably going to change. Let's eat quickly before it rains, otherwise it'll be a hassle..."

Mountain weather is unpredictable; one second it may be sunny, and the next it may start raining.

Hu Tao didn't argue with him, and since she was really hungry, she quickly finished off the two fish.

She took out a rainproof curtain and a large umbrella from her ring, called out to Qiqi, and found a high and relatively dry spot to pitch the tent.

It's a pity there's no cave, otherwise we wouldn't have to worry about rain if we hid in one.

Thunder rumbled loudly, followed by lightning that illuminated the sky.

Realizing that a heavy rain was imminent, Jiang Bai quickly finished his dinner, took the bird eggs out of the fire, put them in his pocket, and left the low-lying area.

The rain came suddenly and quickly. Before the tent was even set up, Jiang Bai quickly used rock elements to create a square matchbox that enveloped the three of them.

The matchbox was pitch black; the only sound was the heavy rain pounding on the ground outside.

Fortunately, Hu Tao pulled out a light source, which solved the predicament of the group being unable to see their own hands.

"Your ability is really useful..." Hu Tao exclaimed.

Seeing this makes her want a Geo Vision; it's practically a must-have for traveling, allowing her to easily build a shelter from the wind and rain whenever needed.

Jiang Bai smiled smugly.

With his abilities, he's never seen another like him! You could say he's one of a kind!

I wonder how Mr. Zhongli uses the rock element. If he can conjure a magnificent palace with a wave of his hand, then Jiang Bai can only admit defeat...

"How long can this house last?" Hu Tao asked the crucial question.

"Uh..." Jiang Bai was momentarily speechless.

He made a stone coffin that could last for ten hours, enough for him to sleep through the night.

But this stone house is much larger than a coffin, and it's really unknown how long it can last. If it rains all night, they will still get wet.

"Given its size, it will take at most three hours..." Jiang Bai gave a conservative estimate.

"Let's set up the tent quickly."

Hu Tao rolled her eyes.

Seeing how smug he was laughing, I thought it would last a long time, but it only lasted three hours.

Tents are more reliable; they can last indefinitely as long as they're not dismantled.

She patted Jiang Bai on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You need to work hard to make the stone house last all night, so we won't have to set up tents when we go out!"

Faced with his superior's expectations, Jiang Bai could only nod in agreement.

He won't be able to sleep in the coffin tonight either. After maintaining the stone house for a few hours, where would he find the extra energy to make a coffin?

"Master, do you have any other tents? If not, the three of us will have to sleep in one tent."

Chapter 68 is really hard to find!

It's obviously unrealistic to ask Qiqi to sleep with Hu Tao. Qiqi would love to stay far away from her, so why would she want to sleep in the same tent with her?

As for letting him sleep with Qiqi, that's even more unrealistic.

While you may be unserious most of the time, it's not the right time to be witty or silly.

It's illogical for a grown man to sleep with a little girl, and it would be seen as having ulterior motives.

“Of course we have them.” Hu Tao then pulled out two more tents.

She naturally brought quite a few of these essential items when going out.

The three tents were set up rather compactly in this matchbox-like space. After laying down the moisture-proof mats, Walnut took out three sleeping bags and put one in each tent.

There's absolutely no need to worry about the tent getting damp when it rains.

Walnut yawned, crawled into the tent, and only her head peeked out.

"Once everyone is inside the tent, you can remove this stone wall to save your energy."

She, Hu Tao, still cares about her subordinates.

"Yes." Jiang Bai nodded; he thought so too.

Exhausted from a long day, he didn't have the energy to make a coffin. After saying goodnight, he crawled into his tent.

Qiqi was the last to enter the tent. Her body didn't actually need to sleep, but as a human instinct, she still slept on time.

The ore, emitting a soft, warm glow, was placed in the open space between the three tents, providing illumination.

Qiqi sat in the tent, flipped through her notebook for a while, and then started doing stretching exercises.

This is something she does every day to keep her body flexible and walk like a normal person.

After doing stretching exercises for who knows how long, the stone wall overhead had disappeared, and the pattering raindrops began to fall on the tent.

Qiqi sat in the tent and listened to the rain for a while before crawling into her sleeping bag.

The rain is noisy, but tonight will be a good night's sleep.

.

Jiang Bai slept quite soundly. He thought the sound of rain would keep him awake, but he was so tired after a long day that he fell asleep almost immediately.

He was awakened by the long-awaited morning light and came out of the tent. The heavy rain had stopped, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of rain-washed soil.

A thin layer of mist floated around, and the morning sunlight pierced through, creating a beautiful Tyndall effect.

Seeing the scene that greeted him as he got up, Jiang Bai stretched comfortably, feeling great.

Unfortunately, the fire pit from yesterday was soaked by the heavy rain, and the unburnt firewood inside was also wet and unusable.

Jiang Bai carried a bag of roasted bird eggs. He had intended to eat them last night, but forgot about them after falling asleep. Luckily, they hadn't been crushed. Although they were a bit cold, they were still fine for breakfast.

Hearing the commotion outside, Qiqi crawled out of the tent. "Is it already morning...?"

Good morning, Qiqi!

"Good morning......"

Qiqi spoke slowly and deliberately.

The human and the zombie went to the lake to wash up. They had no other options but to rinse their mouths with water and mint leaves.

The two, one big and one small, stood by the lake with water cups in their hands, their cheeks puffed out, gargling as they rinsed their mouths, then spitting it out together. After doing this several times, they had given their mouths a simple cleaning.

After rinsing her mouth, Qiqi squatted by the lake and carefully wiped her face with a damp cloth.

Even zombies need to keep their bodies clean and tidy.

The lake water wasn't cold in the morning. Jiang Bai scooped up a handful and splashed it on his face, feeling refreshed.

It took them quite a while to wash up before Hu Tao slowly woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, her hair disheveled and hanging down her back, still sleepy.

Since we were outdoors, everyone slept fully clothed, which saved us the trouble of getting dressed.

The little ghost emerged from her body, yawning, its small eyes seemingly closed, and floated about to drift out of the tent.

Walnut reached out and grabbed its tadpole-like little tail, and its white head, which had just floated away, bounced back with a thud.

After straightening her clothes, she lifted the tent flap and went outside.

The sunlight outside the tent was already quite dazzling. A human and a zombie sat together waiting for her to get up.

Seeing her emerge from the tent, Jiang Bai whistled, "Master, you're finally up! I was going to starve to death if you hadn't gotten up!"

Walnut took out a bunch of food. "Eat up, and then keep looking!"

Jiang Bai grinned and came over with a handful of bird eggs. "Master, could you heat up these eggs for me?"

It rained last night, and everything is wet, so we can't start a fire.

"I can't control the temperature well, so don't blame me if it turns to ashes." Hu Tao rubbed a small spark between her fingertips.

"Uh... never mind then..." Jiang Bai withdrew his hand. The egg was perfectly fine; he couldn't let it go to waste.

After taking a couple of bites of the cold bird egg, Jiang Bai decisively chose the breakfast that Hu Tao had brought out.

Walnut rings have a preservation function, as the inside is basically a sterile environment. As long as the food is not left out for a very long time, there will generally be no major problems.

The dragon heart I got from killing the dragon lizard last time is still in the ring; it hasn't spoiled yet.

"Master, let's climb these mountains today." Jiang Bai looked up and pointed to several towering stone peaks.

These stone peaks are covered with lush vegetation, so it's more likely that the Kongtong Hundred Spirit Jade grows on them.

"Row!"

After a quick breakfast, the group rubbed their hands together, determined to find the Kongtong Hundred Spirit Jade today.

However, as the sun rose to its zenith and then gradually set, nothing was found.

Exhausted, Jiang Bai and Hu Tao returned to the camp, Jiang Bai too tired to even crack a joke.

The only one in good condition is Qiqi.

At this moment, Jiang Bai was a little envious of Qi Qi's physique; she never got tired or fatigued, she was like a work machine.

They are the type of labor that capitalists prefer.

The two were too tired to even start a fire. They grabbed some dry rations to fill their stomachs, crawled into the tent, and fell asleep immediately.

The mountain forest was chilly at night, especially in Huaguang Forest, but this was no big deal for Qiqi.

She's a zombie, so she can't feel the cold.

Sitting on a dead tree stump outside the tent, she held a small notebook in her hands and looked up at the moon.

The moon was so bright tonight that she could even see the birds in the trees.

She couldn't remember how long she had been out, but it must have been quite a while. She wondered if Mr. Bai was currently searching for her all over the mountains.

She turned to look at the two small tents next to her, where faint snoring could already be heard.

Actually, she could have gone back to Liyue Harbor on her own; she always went back by herself before she met them.

Whether it's monsters or malicious people with ulterior motives, she can easily deal with them.

She appreciated their kindness, so she went with them.

However, aside from following them, she couldn't remember where she was supposed to be going.

All they knew was that it was a place where Hu Tao could give up the idea of ​​sending her to her death.

She took out the paper with the drawing of the Kongtong Hundred Spirit Jade from her bosom and stood up.

Chapter 69: How about the Rebirth Hall Package?

She's a zombie, so she doesn't get tired, and she can go looking for people at night too.

She wanted to find it quickly; she wanted to live; she didn't want to die.

She shouldered her bamboo basket, gave herself the order to find the item on the paper, and climbed the stone peak.
