Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

A cool, tingling sensation spread from her arm, and Hu Tao let out a comfortable groan.

"Ah, that feels so good~"

"My legs need some relief too, they're so sore I can't walk anymore..."

"Okay." Qi Qi was almost always willing to grant requests.

She liked this feeling; it made her feel useful and valuable.

"Qiqi, it's me, it's me!" Jiang Bai struggled to turn over and stretched out his hand.

Qiqi treated them slowly and steadily.

Elemental power continuously condensed from her hands.

Jiang Bai and Hu Tao recovered from Mr. Yuan's despondent state and became energetic again.

"Hahahaha! I, Jiang Bai, am back in action!" Jiang Bai stood under the tree, hands on his hips, laughing loudly.

"Hahahaha! This master has recovered to his peak!" Hu Tao retorted defiantly.

Qi Qi looked at the two people speechlessly.

After spending these past few days with them, she has come to understand the meaning of the word "speechless".

She was too normal; she didn't fit in with those two abnormal people.

'I should have known better than to help them recover so well...'

Qi Qi sighed softly, and as she lowered her head, the talisman on her forehead swayed up and down.

A gust of wind blew by, and Qiqi quickly held the talisman on her forehead to prevent it from being blown away.

She looked up, and a large crane landed in front of them, flapping its wings.

I saw this crane yesterday; Qiqi still has a vague memory of it.

She looked at Jiang Bai and Hu Tao.

The two, who had been laughing and full of energy, suddenly changed their expressions and became serious upon seeing the immortal.

Seeing their expressions change so quickly and in such a coordinated manner, Qiqi's mouth opened slightly.

Are these the people who came out of the Hall of Rebirth?

Their expressions change so consistently.

"You've done a very good job," True Lord Li Shui Die Shan said, clearly satisfied with their work attitude and efficiency.

"Since you've finished, here you go."

With a flap of his wings, a square object carved with ancient characters slowly floated into Hu Tao's hand.

"Is this the True Soul of the Four Directions?"

“That’s right.” True Lord Lishui Dieshan nodded. “This object can locate people in all directions, making it the best choice for finding people.”

Upon hearing its purpose, Hu Tao's eyes lit up. If she wasn't mistaken, this should be the most important component of the magical artifact she wanted.

"Thank you, True Lord." Hu Tao carefully put it away and thanked the True Lord.

Lord Lishui Dieshan nodded and prepared to leave, but Hu Tao quickly called him back.

“True Lord, there is another matter I would like to ask you.”

"What's the matter?"

Hu Tao pushed Qi Qi in front of her, "I wonder if the True Lord has ever seen her?"

Hu Tao explained why she asked the question: "She is a zombie whose soul is trapped inside her body and cannot escape. She only knows that she came out of amber. I wonder if the True Lord knows about her background?"

Looking at the blank-eyed Xiao Qiqi, True Lord Lishui Dieshan sighed.

"Of course I know, she became a zombie because of us..."

She became an immortal because of them.

Qi Qi looked at her blankly. Did she know this immortal?

She remembers nothing.

"She was just an ordinary herb-gathering girl, but she accidentally wandered into a fairyland, injured her right leg, and hid in a mountain cave..."

The True Lord of Lishui Dieshan looked at Qiqi with a very complicated expression, and he slowly recounted the story from that time.

"At that time, a celestial being was corrupted by the remnants of a demon god and fell into the demonic path. Several of us celestials fought against him, and the aftershocks of the battle reached the cave, and also her inside the cave..."

"She, a little girl gathering herbs, naturally couldn't withstand such turmoil. In her near-death state, she gained the Eye of God. The radiance of the Eye of God ended the great battle, but it also trapped her between life and death..."

They didn't realize at first that a little girl had wandered into the fairyland. By the time they discovered her, the battle had already escalated to a fever pitch, and they couldn't spare any attention for her.

The immortals who had fallen into demonic ways were once their colleagues, and they held back some of their attacks. But the immortal who had lost his mind was different. He unleashed his power without restraint, putting these restrained people at a disadvantage.

The light from the Eye of God briefly restored his senses, and realizing his own condition, he chose self-sacrifice without hesitation.

After the battle, they rushed to the cave, but her body had already lost all life, only the Eye of God protected her soul from dissipation.

"...Unable to bear it, we each took a wisp of immortal power and sealed it into her body, intending to revive her. She subsequently awoke, thus gaining a new life, but because she couldn't control the immortal power within her, she fell into unprecedented madness..."

"To quell the unrest, I had no choice but to take action and seal her inside the amber..."

The True Lord of Flowing Water and Stacked Mountains spoke with emotion.

Even immortals have things they cannot do.

They thanked the girl for helping them end the battle, but they couldn't truly revive her; they could only keep her in a zombie state.

It seems she has returned to normal and can get along well with people. Although her zombie body still has defects, it has given her the ability to protect herself, which has relieved him of a worry.

Chapter 79 Qiqi Needs to Wash Her Hair

Qi Qi didn't speak; she seemed to be listening to someone else's story.

These things happened so long ago to her that she had long forgotten them.

She doesn't want to delve into her past; for her, forgetting those painful memories is actually a good thing.

It was only because Hu Tao wanted to know her origins that she learned about her past again in order to avoid being sent to her death by Hu Tao.

But it's okay, she'll forget about it again soon.

She's still that little zombie Qiqi from Bubulu.

"So that's how it is..."

Hu Tao's voice was low.

Although the True Lord of Water and Mountain said it simply, it was enough to make people imagine the suffering that Qiqi endured.

He accidentally entered a fairyland, was trapped in a cave, was caught in the crossfire of a battle, and on the verge of death, he gained the Eye of God.

Most importantly, Qiqi was just a child at that time.

It's hard to imagine how scared, terrified, and desperate she must have felt at that time...

Jiang Bai didn't speak, but looked at Qi Qi.

The moment he learned about the zombie Qiqi, he realized it was definitely not simple, and now it seems that's indeed the case.

If one had not suffered immense pain, how could one become half-human and half-corpse?

And what about him? How did he lose his memory?

"Has the True Lord seen me before?"

Jiang Bai pointed to himself.

I wonder if these immortals know about his affairs.

The True Lord of Flowing Water and Divided Mountains looked at his face and then shook his head.

I have never seen you before.

Jiang Bai had never appeared in his memory.

Of course, it's also possible that it happened like a passerby, leaving no impression on him.

"I see..." Jiang Bai nodded.

“Even the True Lord has never seen you, so your background is probably even more complicated than Qi Qi's…” Hu Tao frowned and rested her chin on her hand.

The curiosity of the True Lord of Flowing Water and Die Mountain was piqued a little.

"Oh? What's so special about him?"

“Your Excellency is unaware of this…” Hu Tao briefly explained Jiang Bai’s origins.

"Oh? To come back to life? That's quite a strange thing..."

"Has the True Lord heard of anything similar before?"

"The state of the person sealed in amber is similar to his, but only similar. The living person is still living, but the immortal magic contained in the amber has stopped their time. It is not a case of feigned death or resurrection."

Hu Tao thought about Jiang Bai's condition when he was pulled out of the water and said, "Before he woke up, he had no breath or heartbeat, and his body was cold and icy. Was he also in a state of time standstill?"

"possible."

Lord Lishui Dieshan looked at Jiang Bai and said, "Stretch out your hand."

Although he didn't know what he was going to do, Jiang Bai did as he was told.

The True Lord of Flowing Water and Die Mountain placed his wings on Jiang Bai's palm, and upon touching them, probed his body.

"There's no trace of immortal power within you; it must be some other method. However..."

The True Lord of Flowing Water and Divided Mountains changed the subject, "However, there is a chilling energy dissipating in your meridians..."

"chill?"

Jiang Bai remembered that Bai Shu seemed to have said something similar.

Why is there a chill?

Lord Lishui Dieshan shook his head, "I don't know about that..."

Hu Tao frowned slightly. "The cold shouldn't affect your health, right?"

"It should be fine."

The True Lord of Flowing Water and Die Mountain was not a physician; he could only sense a chill in the man's body, and could not discern anything else.

Jiang Bai didn't feel any discomfort, except that his body temperature was a little lower than normal.

However, none of the people he came into contact with had normal body temperatures, so he couldn't sense any difference.

Since there was no problem, Hu Tao relaxed her brows and her expression eased.

"While there are ways to stop time, most require external force, just like this amber. Once encased in amber, the creature inside will enter a relatively static state until the amber is broken."

"However, this time cannot be too long, otherwise they will lose all consciousness and become no different from the dead."

"Will he wake up again?" Hu Tao asked thoughtfully.

“No.” True Lord Lishui Dieshan shook his head. “Therefore, I will periodically release the people who are sealed in amber.”

With a flap of its wings, Li Shui Die Shan flew away, leaving three people behind.

Hu Tao looked at Qi Qi, and patted her head amidst Qi Qi's somewhat frightened gaze. "I said I wouldn't send you to your final rest, and I won't. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to me. Although I'm just a lowly head of the Rebirth Hall, I still have some connections in Liyue..."

Then, remembering something, she changed her tone, "Never mind, I told you you'd forget soon enough. Once we get back to Liyue Harbor, I'll make an effort to visit you from time to time!"

Qiqi: I don't really want to see you...

She hid behind Jiang Bai, tugged at his clothes, and stared at him with wide eyes.

"Qiqi needs to wash her hair."

Now that I'm done with my work and have received the items, can I help Qiqi wash her hair?

Jiang Bai's expression froze, and he gave up when he looked into her clear and bright eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'll wash you..."

Isn't this child supposed to have a bad memory?

How come you remember something like washing your hair for so long?
