Chapter 60 Zhongli drinks fine tea, the Wind God displays divine power
"Shen He, you must be exhausted from the journey all the way from Jueyun Pass."
Gan Yu's eyes were full of concern.
Then, she took a folded silk scarf from her pocket and handed it to Shen He.
"Shen He, wipe your sweat."
"It's alright, Master sent me to pick you up. Master and I both miss you very much."
Hearing Shen He say that, Gan Yu lowered her head shyly, her face slightly flushed.
"Let's go back and visit our master. I brought her a lot of Liyue specialties."
As soon as Gan Yu took Shen He's hand, she saw a familiar figure around the corner in the distance.
"Hmm...it's the Emperor."
Gan Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong, Gan Yu?"
Shen He noticed Gan Yu's movements and turned to look.
"Cough cough... It's nothing, I just ran into a familiar face."
After saying that, the two left together, heading towards Jueyunjian.
Meanwhile, Zhongli had already arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.
"Hmm... there seems to be no movement inside the hall. Have they all gone out?"
After saying that, Zhongli slowly walked in.
Seeing that no one was around, Zhongli leisurely walked to the kitchen cabinet.
The next second, he raised his hand and took out a packet of tea from the corner.
"I finally have the chance to taste such a fine product."
After saying that, Zhongli gently clenched the tea bag in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, he scooped a bowl of water from the large vat and walked to the teapot.
Suppressing his excitement, Zhongli slowly continued with a series of operations.
After a while.
As the water boiled, the rich aroma of tea filled the kitchen.
"What an intoxicating aroma. It's no wonder a bag costs 50,000 mora."
After savoring the tea for a while, Zhongli slowly filtered out the tea leaves and then poured the tea into a cup.
"Hmm... The tea soup is clear and bright, with a pleasant color. It is sweet and mellow on the palate, with a delicate fragrance. It can be described as a top-grade tea."
As Zhongli drank, he unusually closed his eyes, completely absorbed in the drink.
He usually drinks only ordinary black tea.
This time, the tea he brewed was called "Yanxia Bifei," a high-quality black tea.
It's clear that he thoroughly enjoyed the subtle flavor it contained.
However, the days spent alone always seem so short...
"Hey! Zhongli, we're back! Hmm, it seems like you're the only one here..."
Hearing the sudden shout, Zhongli looked up and saw that it was Paimon.
Following behind her were Ying and the bard Barbatos.
Upon seeing Barbatos, Zhongli continued to sip his tea.
"Hey, you didn't expect me to be here, did you? Grandpa, what good stuff are you drinking? Why don't you share some?"
"It's alright, it's a rare treat that you all can enjoy such a fine product together."
As Zhongli spoke, he took out several cups and poured tea for everyone.
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a strong tea flavor!"
Paimon sighed repeatedly as soon as he took the teacup from Zhongli.
"I think I'll pass. Cider is more to my liking, hehe."
"..."
Zhongli hesitated for a moment, then took back the teacup and handed it to Ying again.
"Tea... This seems to be my first time trying it. Let me have a taste!"
Soon, everyone was immersed in the small tea and wine party, chatting happily.
……
Fifteen minutes later.
"Oh, everyone's here! Come and help!"
A figure in red and black interrupted everyone's interest.
Zhongli, who reacted quickly, was the first to stand up.
"It's the Hall Master back. What urgent matter do you need my help with?"
“I just came back from Mondstadt. I brought several truckloads of elderly people’s bodies. Everyone can come and help move the bodies to the door of the coffin room.”
After Hu Tao finished speaking, she immediately added details about the source of the old man's body.
……
After listening, Barbatos lowered his head and slowly shook his head.
"Sigh... Is it really because of me...?"
Sensing Barbatos's remorse, Zhongli gently placed her hand on his shoulder.
"As the Wind God, you need not blame yourself. Perhaps all of this is the arrangement of fate."
"Hmph, you know how to talk. Well then, I'm not sad anymore."
Paimon flew to the side, looking completely bewildered, watching Barbatos's transformation in astonishment.
"Hey busker, I don't want you to stay sad either. But your ability to change emotions so quickly is almost making me feel ashamed!"
After saying that, Paimon turned around and followed Ying out to help.
“Since they are my subjects, then… I also have an obligation to help them, right, Morax?”
"Yes, that's how it should be."
After receiving Zhongli's affirmation, Barbatos ran out with light steps.
"Ying, are you sure you want me to carry this?!"
As soon as Barbatos stepped outside, he saw Paimon struggling to lift the body.
Behind Paimon stood Ying, who continued to pull the body toward Paimon's head.
"Ugh, I can't lift it anymore!"
Just as Ying was about to save the body that had fallen from Paimon's head, Barbatos gently raised a finger.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle breeze carried the body back onto the hearse.
"Ah... let me, the greatest bard in the world, help you."
After saying this, Barbatos frowned slightly, and a hint of green light appeared in his eyes.
The next second, abundant wind elemental power roared in from all directions.
Paimon was almost blown away by the wind when he wasn't paying attention.
Fortunately, Ying was quick-witted and grabbed her, preventing Paimon from turning into a real balloon.
Paimon: Who's the balloon? Who's the balloon?! Explain yourself!
When a gust of wind blew, they all gathered around the hearse.
The next second, the bodies on the vehicle floated lightly into the hall.
Just as Hu Tao finished checking the engine in the car and got out with peace of mind, she saw this scene.
Even though Hu Tao deals with ghosts all the time, she was still startled by this terrifying scene.
"Huh?! A ghost!"
Hu Tao quickly retreated warily, almost drawing her staff.
"Wait a minute, isn't this the body in the hearse? How can it fly by itself?"
With her doubts lingering, Hu Tao walked to the other side of the car.
Then she saw all of this.
"I knew it! How could there be so many ghosts gathering at the Hall of Rebirth... Haha, I was just scaring myself."
Just then, Xunfeng led Qiqi back to the Hall of Rebirth.
"It's getting dark, Qiqi, shall we go home?"
"Goodbye, Yao Yao."
"Qiqi, I'll come visit you again tomorrow, bye-bye!"
After a while, Xunfeng arrived near the Hall of Rebirth...
Unfortunately, Barbatos was using the wind to transport the body at that moment.
"How did Barbatos end up here?"
Although Xun Feng didn't understand, he still kindly released the light element.
After all, moving a body so openly using divine power in a busy downtown area would definitely be seen by many people.
The result will be panic and unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Xunfeng chose to create a light barrier near the Hall of Rebirth.
This way, outsiders can't see the true situation inside.
