Chapter 124 The General Store Became a Wishing Shop
Early the next morning.
Shiraki slowly stood up from the edge of the bed.
After stretching his legs, which were a little numb from sitting for a long time, Shiraki turned around and saw the Great Tree King, who had just put away the Liyue Module.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, neither of them mentioning what had happened that night.
The Great Tree King never imagined that he, the former God of Wisdom, would actually fail because of his wisdom.
The things she painstakingly created not only failed to help Bai Mu break his bad habit of staying up late, but have now also affected her as well.
"Let's go and see if Xiangling has finished her business. If she has, we can go back to Liyue."
After handing the room key to the hotel staff, Shiraki left Mondstadt with the Great Tree King.
Goodbye, Wendy.
Upon reaching the gates of Mondstadt, Bai Mu waved goodbye to the statue of Venti within the city.
A gust of wind carrying a strong smell of alcohol blew by, and Bai Mu estimated that the 20 million credit line he had given Wendy probably wouldn't last much longer.
......
Qingquan Town.
When Bai Mu and the Great Tree King arrived in Qingquan Town, they found that Xiang Ling was already waiting there.
Beside her stood Ying and Paimon, presumably there to see her off.
"Uncle Bai, you're here."
Upon seeing Shiraki, Xiangling waved to him.
"Is everything settled?"
"Everything's taken care of, Uncle Bai. Can we go back now?"
Xiangling nodded, indicating that everything was done.
"Alright, let's go back."
Bai Mu opened a spatial portal next to him.
Then, he waved goodbye to Ying and Paimon, who were standing next to Xiangling.
"Goodbye, Ying and Paimon. You can come to Liyue next. I look forward to seeing you there."
"Goodbye, Shiraki, Xiangling, and... um, Xiao Wang!"
Paimon waved to the departing crowd, and she hadn't forgotten the Great Tree King beside the White Tree.
After Shiraki and the others left, Paimon looked at Ying beside him and asked:
"Ying, where are we going next?"
"Of course we're going to Liyue! Liyue is so close to Mondstadt, and we even have acquaintances there. Where else would we go?"
When asked about taking photos of young girls, Ying answered naturally.
"Hey? Then why didn't you let Shiraki take us with you?"
Ying: (blushing)...
......
Liyue Harbor.
"Here we are."
Shiraki pointed to the bustling Liyue Harbor in front of him and said to Xiangling.
"Huh? We're here already?"
Xiangling's tone was full of surprise.
She looked left and right, and then back again, and found that she had actually returned to Liyue Harbor.
"Uncle Bai, I'll head home now."
Without dwelling on the issue of speed, Xiangling checked her current location, greeted Bai Mu, and then skipped and hopped towards Wanmintang.
"Let's go back too."
After greeting the Great Tree King, Bai Mu headed towards his general store.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the general store, before Bai Mu could even go inside, he was shocked by what he had written on the board he had placed at the entrance.
He could understand things like "a flame that burns eternally" and "a heart of pure water."
While these things are indeed difficult for ordinary people to obtain, they are relatively easy for him to acquire.
But what kind of nonsense is this, with those posts saying things like "I want the Eye of God," "I want to go to Inazuma," "I want to become a god," or even "I want a girlfriend"?
Looking at those things, Shiraki couldn't help but feel a little frantic.
This is a general store, not a wishing shop. If you want to make a wish, you should go to the Seven Gods statue, not this place.
However, what Bai Mu didn't know was that the contents of his board were originally quite normal.
Most of them were materials or rare items, such as "always-burning fire starter," which was the hardest thing to obtain at the time.
But one day, a Taoist priest had a sudden inspiration and wrote "a wisp of immortal energy" on the board.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that a few days after the alchemist wrote "a wisp of immortal energy," he actually bought a wisp of immortal energy from this general store.
“After that day, the content on this board became exaggerated.”
"The most extravagant 'always-burning flame' has become the most ordinary thing on this board."
"From that day on, Zhongli, the guest elder of Wangsheng Hall, ate his meals in the Liuli Pavilion for several days in a row."
"I don't know if there's anything fishy going on here."
Seeing that Bai Mu was staring blankly at the board next to the general store, the Great Tree King explained to him the reason for the changes in the content on the board.
"Whoo~"
Shiraki let out a breath.
He erased the four wishes that had been made on the board by who-knows-who.
Once the contents of the board are erased, it means the shop owner has found these items.
But Bai Mu had no intention of helping those talented people fulfill their wishes; he simply wanted to see what they actually looked like!
