Genshin Impact: I’m really not a daddy

The days in Shenyu Valley were very ordinary.

Bai Chu also got a recliner and a small table. He would lie next to the old man every day, drink tea and read without talking. During meals, the young man would come to bring him food and feed the old man by the way.

In the past few days, the old man was still awake. He only stared in front of him in a daze every day or slept. Even when he went to the toilet, he screamed twice, and then the young man took care of him.

Just like Bai Chu said, in his current state, just being alive is already a miracle.

At noon that day, Bai Chu had just finished eating, and the young man was feeding the old man——

"...white peony root."

The old man suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Bai Chu who was reading a book at the side.

Bai Shao, the young man, was stunned for a moment after hearing his voice. Then he looked at his glasses seriously, and his face instantly showed a look of joy, "Teacher, you, are you back to normal?!"

"Um…"

Different from previous days.

The old man's eyes were no longer cloudy at this time, but were full of brilliance and vitality, just like a young man in his prime.

However, after taking one look at him, Bai Chu discovered it.

The old man's vitality, which was as weak as a struggling flame, was almost extinguished at this time.

At best, it's a bit of a spark.

"You're going to die soon."

Although he couldn't bear to interrupt the warm conversation between teacher and student, Bai Chu still spoke inappropriately.

Although this scene looked quite touching, except for some emotions, he actually had no special feelings.

After all, the old man only had a one-time relationship with him. The reason why he came here was because he had said it before, nothing more.

Moreover, he has lived too long... He has seen life and death scenes countless times.

Just like him and Hu Tao.

But that doesn't mean that he has become indifferent because of this. After all, to be precise, he is still a human being. Although he has the power and lifespan of a demon, he also has a human way of thinking.

Although you will feel regret and sadness, because it has little relationship with yourself, no matter how sad you are, it will be limited.

And...in addition to these differences, there is another fundamental difference between him and the Demon God.

Although his power is enough to suppress most demon gods, he is still not a demon god.

He has no "authority".

But those are other things.

"Ah..." The old man was stunned for a moment, then turned his head. When he saw him, a smile appeared on his old face.

"You...you are here."

"Well, I came to visit your grave."

Bai Chu nodded lightly and said calmly.

The old man was not surprised by this, but instead had a smile on his face.

"You're indeed here...it seems like I didn't wait in vain."

He tried hard to survive in various ways, barely surviving in this world, and even suffered from severe dementia.

Everything he did was to wait for Bai Chu's arrival.

"Haha... I'm sorry for letting you see such an ugly side of me..."

It was clear that his life had come to an end long ago, but he was forced to delay it for a while using despicable means...

The old man smiled bitterly. Bai Chu looked at him and shook his head slightly.

"I think you're quite attractive like this."

No matter what substance it is, the last glimmer of light that blooms before disappearing is always impressive.

"Haha... maybe this is what people say, the older you get, the more attractive you become, right?"

"That way, I've become a heartthrob."

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison. Bai Shao, who was on the side, showed a hint of sadness on his face.

Even he discovered that although his teacher was getting better and better, his aura was getting weaker and weaker now.

"teacher…"

"Ahem... White peony root, come here."

The old man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned rosy, and he waved to him gently, speaking in a soft voice. Bai Shao nodded sadly, squatted beside the recliner, and looked at the old man with tears in his eyes.

The old man stretched out his hand and smiled at him.

"I have taught you my whole life's medical skills... You, too, must pass on your medical skills to the next generation."

"You must find a disciple whose character is trustworthy...the secret of immortality cannot be passed on to people with bad character, do you understand?"

"Teacher...students know..."

"Okay, good boy..."

The old man smiled reluctantly and coughed up another mouthful of blood. Then, he stretched out his hand with difficulty.

"Take my pulse."

This is the only thing he can teach his disciples.

"This is the pulse of the death vein...you have to remember it well."

"is teacher…"

Bai Chu silently watched the moment when the teacher and student parted, as an outsider would say without saying a word.

Bai Shao stretched out his hand tremblingly and took deep breaths, as if this could calm him down.

However, his hands were still shaking.

Seeing his appearance, the teacher smiled kindly and patted his hand gently.

"Don't be afraid."

He could see that Bai Shao was trembling with sadness not just because he was about to die.

He couldn't be more aware of this situation.

That's the fear of death.

The fear of death is engraved in the instinct of any creature. Before death comes, everyone can say the words "I am not afraid of death."

But only when one is really close to death can one understand how afraid he is of death.

However, the differences between humans and animals remain here.

Sometimes, people can go to death with fear for an ideal they only talk about but don't know whether it can be realized.

"...Since you have chosen this path, don't be ashamed of this profession."

The old man said calmly.

Half a year ago, he was practicing medicine outside.

Originally, he had planned to pass on the immortality to Bai Shao. But, at that time, a hunter happened to encounter a poisonous snake.

If the secret method is not used, the Orion will definitely die.

Perhaps, this is his fate.

Looking at Orion's wife kneeling in front of him, sobbing uncontrollably, the old man felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.

After that...he came back here.

At the end of his life, he can use his old life to save one more person...

"This way, I feel quite accomplished."

The old man laughed.

Just like the first time he used the secret method of immortality.

Bai Shao's hands gradually stopped shaking.

…………

A few days later, Shen Yugu——

Not far from that hut, there was an additional grave.

There is no writing on the stone tablet in front of the tomb, but there are a few sticks of incense placed in front of the stone tablet.

The door of the thatched cottage suddenly opened, and a young man came out holding a basket of herbs and a small snake wrapped around his neck.

When he came out and didn't see the extra deck chair, the young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Mr. Bai...has left."

Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have gotten up earlier and gone to see Mr. Bai off...

After looking at the incense that was still burning quietly in front of the stone monument, the young man sighed.

"Mr. Bai... have a nice trip."

If possible, maybe he could see Bai Chu again in his lifetime.

…………

At the same time, the border of Liyue.

"Hey...this is Sumeru."

Looking at the vast desert in front of him, Bai Chu looked at it without interest, yawned, and then stepped into it.

This shabby place doesn't feel as good as Ina Wife.

Bai Chu was a little depressed.

He has now left Liyue and came to Xumi.

The kingdom of "wisdom".

Sumeru... it’s really chaotic, as you can see from the story of Zhenling and Gulcheng, it’s really chaotic and it’s really against the will of heaven...
