Chapter 470 Balm
As Shitou said goodbye with tears in his eyes and a rag in his hand, Ye Li and his group left the Cuixing in a mighty manner. Along the way, Paimeng's eyes were shining with gold. Looking at the heavy bag of Mora in Ye Li's hand, he swallowed his saliva and said:
"Wow, Ye Li, you were amazing just now. Not only did you save money, you even made a lot of money. Hehe, if I had this ability, I would definitely have a good meal."
"Little Paimon, Mora will eventually run out, so why not take a long-term view? Compared to eating one meal or eating every meal, this is a simple choice. I'm sure you understand what's most important without me having to explain the answer."
"I understand the truth in this regard, but I don't have as many options as you do. I can only travel with Sora and act as a guide to make a living."
"If you put it that way, Sora is really having a hard time. After all, he still has to do commissions, and little Paimon, who only eats 30 Mora a month, has to consider a lot."
Facing Ye Li's teasing, Paimeng looked back a little embarrassedly at Kong who was chatting with Zhongli, then quickly turned to look at Ye Li and said:
"How do you know I spend so much money a month? I have calculated it one by one over the past few months."
"It's very simple, just tell your fortune."
"Fortune telling? Is it the same as divination? Ye Li, you know this."
Paimeng gave him a puzzled look. Ye Li stretched out a finger, poked little Paimeng's face and said:
"I know a thing or two about fortune-telling. For example, I can deduce the changes in the star-gazing technique and predict good and bad luck. Since we haven't arrived yet, Paimon, why don't you give it a try?"
"Let's just forget about it. If I predict something bad, it will really affect my mood."
Paimeng shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to know whether there was a bad omen for the future. Ye Li had no choice but to put away the compass he was about to take out and show off his skills.
Arriving near Yujing Terrace, Kong put away most of the boxes of Yebo Stones that Ye had left behind and breathed a sigh of relief. Climbing up the stairs from the bottom was quite exhausting.
Seeing that the Night Stone had been put away, Ye Li found an excuse to go to the nearby Grandma Ping's tea stall and buy a few pots of tea to quench his thirst on the road. When he came back, Kong and Paimon had already discussed the next course of action with Zhongli.
"It's the ointment made from the colorful flower. I remember there are some growing nearby. Why don't I pick some?"
"Ye Li, what we are looking for is not an ordinary neon flower, but a special kind."
Paimon gave an explanation, and Zhongli also denied that Ye Li was going to fool people with ordinary neon flowers.
"Although common neon flowers are common, they are all artificially cultivated. They are inferior to those grown in special areas. It is inappropriate for young friend Ye Li to cut corners."
"In that case, we have to choose a good store to buy it. Is there any place you can recommend, Zhongli?"
"Why not go to the Wanyou store near the port? It's also a long-established store. Maybe they have some well-preserved special flower species there."
"Then let's do it."
Ye Li did not object to Zhong Li's recommendation. He handed the specially made kettles in his hand to the others and said:
"Here, the tea bought from the nearby tea stalls has different tastes. It depends on who of you picks the best."
Zhongli reached out for a pot of tea, opened the lid, and smelled the familiar tea fragrance inside. He couldn't help but smile and said:
"It's been many years since I last smelled this kind of tea. I guess the taste must be nostalgic."
"Okay, it's not too late to have tea on the way, let's get down to business first."
Ye Li reminded them that time was tight and the task was heavy. Kong and Paimon nodded, and they took the lead and walked towards the stairs.
Zhongli glanced at the tea in his hand, silently closed the lid, and followed over to prevent the others from being confused and getting lost.
Arriving at the port, Paimon looked at the scene of large ships returning after their departure, and couldn't help but sigh that the value of Teyvat's first port was very high. Then he reached out to Ye Li, who was flying quickly, and took away the candied haws that Ye had bought halfway.
Ye Li had no objection to Paimeng's behavior, after all, he still had a string in his hand.
Arriving at the destination, in front of the stall of Wanyou Store, Paimeng, who had just finished eating a candied haws, flew around the store a few times, attracting the attention of the boss, and then asked:
"Boss, do you sell neon flowers?"
"Of course we have neon flowers for sale, I wonder which kind the customer wants."
"Just the best quality, the most special kind."
Paimeng had already learned about the quality and advantages of the colorful flowers, and the boss nodded and said:
"It seems that the child knows a little about flowers, unlike other foreigners who seem to have never seen the world."
"Golden House Hidden Beauty, Mountain Shadow Brocade Cluster, Floating Fairy Fate - bring me one of each of these three kinds of colorful flowers."
Zhongli's words immediately won the boss's praise, and Ye Li, who was planning to be an invisible person, was also noticed.
"It seems that this master is a great expert. The one next to him should be a young master. I didn't expect that the master has achieved so much at such a young age. I really admire him."
After the boss said this, Kong and Paimeng seemed to react. Memories that were like network delay began to impact their minds. They looked at Yeli and Zhongli.
"The boss didn't mention it, and I hadn't noticed it. Yeli, you really look like Zhongli."
Paimon circled around Ye with a surprised expression, looking at him carefully.
"This is just a great coincidence. The reason why Mr. Zhongli and I look alike is actually due to my father. You will understand when you meet him."
Faced with Ye's riddle again, Paimeng did not pursue the matter any further. After all, the two of them did not acknowledge their father-son relationship, and the boss also apologized for the misunderstanding, and then continued the previous topic.
Zhongli was still the same as always, he wanted everything when he opened his mouth. Ye Li planned to use the art of language to bargain. After all, part of the funds after the purchase would be his, which was clearly written in the contract.
Although giving it for free is not bad, a contract is a contract. Although Ye Li is greedy for small profits in some places, he will not allow himself to get it for free under the current circumstances.
In this way, although the boss learned that the group of people who bought flowers this time were going to organize a fairy gift and planned to provide flowers for free, he finally accepted the money after Ye's bargaining.
At this point, both parties parted with satisfaction.
On the way, Ye Li never stopped calculating, and Zhongli also suggested going to the Seven Days Statue to wait. As for making the ointment, it was left to Kong and Paimon to carry out.
……
The afternoon sun slowly fell on the earth. At this moment, in the small courtyard of Tianheng Mountain, Gui Zhong held a white chess piece in his hand and placed it in the center of the chessboard, blocking the black chess piece's way.
However, the next moment, the black chess piece fell towards the upper right side of the board, completing the feat of a tie.
Gui Zhong looked a little helpless, and looked at the other self who was playing chess with him and said:
"You really are merciless."
"It would be fine if I lost to someone else who was more intelligent than me, but it would be unacceptable if it was you."
"You really said that."
"Okay, stop making assumptions. Is it really okay for you to secretly reveal your identity without telling Xiao Li?"
Facing another question from himself, Gui Chen said with a smile:
"As long as we don't make a public statement, the kid won't expose us. At present, he still has to rely on that identity to get by. If he were to reveal it, wouldn't it prove the authenticity of Wendy's book? At that time, he would really be forced to take over and use a clone to run away."
"Although I had a feeling about that kid the first time I saw him, you guys really know him thoroughly."
"After all, he is a child we have watched grow up. If we don't understand him, how can we be parents? But then again, don't you consider having one? Maybe it is because of this reason that our paths are completely different."
"This... is a bit embarrassing. Besides, he may not agree."
Looking at himself who suddenly blushed and looked like a delicate little girl, Gui Chen couldn't help but feel fortunate that the landing of the meteorite made him bolder in his dreams, otherwise he would really be as penniless as himself in front of him.
Just when Gui Chen was about to help his other self out with some ideas, a golden light descended from the sky and landed directly next to the two of them, followed by a fragrance.
Gui Chen looked at the perfume in front of him that was very much to his taste, and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth as he looked at his other self and said:
"It seems that our situation is indeed a little different. That stupid stone has been sighing for so many years, and it has finally changed a little due to wear and tear."
Gui Zhong instantly understood what his other self meant. To put it bluntly, there was a chance and he could be bolder.
