Shao Yun left Chunxiang Kiln, walked through the bustling streets of Liyue, and entered the medical clinic "Bubulu".

"I hope that little girl won't ask me to look for coconut milk, otherwise I will have to kidnap Ganyu..."

As soon as I opened the door, I felt a cold wind blowing in my face, bringing with it an inexplicable chill, as if blowing from the top of a snowy mountain in deep winter.

Why is the temperature lower than outside? Is it because of the preservation of the medicinal materials, or is it because of the ice-type divine eye of the little girl named Qiqi?

"Hello, is anyone there?" Shao Yun's voice echoed in the empty clinic, but the only response he got was silence.

He looked around and saw that the medicine cabinet was filled with various medicinal herbs, emitting a faint herbal aroma, but other than these, the entire clinic seemed empty.

Shao Yun's gaze finally fell on the back of the counter, where there seemed to be a small figure. He wondered if the zombie girl named Qiqi was hiding under the counter.

He took a deep breath and walked towards the counter courageously.

"Hello, there is..."

Shao Yun was speechless for a moment. Someone? No, Qiqi was no longer calling anyone in the strict sense.

But now that I have come to this, I must say something.

"Um, are there any employees from Bubulu?" Shao Yun raised his voice slightly, hoping to attract the attention behind the counter.

At this moment, a thin figure poked out from under the counter. It was a girl with a talisman on her head, her face as pale as paper, and a hint of fear in her eyes.

Shao Yun scratched his head. Was he really that scary? Was it because he was filled with evil spirits that could be seen by zombies?

She looked at Shao Yun and said in a weak and trembling voice: "Hello, I'm Qiqi, a zombie."

Shao Yun was stunned for a moment, looking at Qiqi's harmless appearance, and asked softly: "Hello, I want to buy the eternal life incense, how much is it?"

When Qiqi heard the words "Eternal Life Incense", a strange light flashed in her eyes.

She stood up with difficulty, her body seemed a little stiff, as if restrained by some force.

She leaned on the counter and looked in Shao Yun's direction. Just as she was about to say something, a trace of fear and hesitation suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Please leave, you are not welcome here!"

Shao Yun looked at Qiqi in confusion, not understanding why she would refuse his request.

When Shao Yun heard the determination and command in Qiqi's childish voice, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

His eyes widened, his brows slightly furrowed, confusion and bewilderment evident in his voice.

"what?"

There was no expression on Qiqi's little face, she was still staring at Shao Yun's direction.

"You weird guy, Qiqi doesn't like you, get out of here!"

Although her words were childish, the determination in her tone could not be ignored.

Shao Yun tried to make his expression look more amiable. He raised his hands to show that he was harmless, and then said with a slightly apologetic smile: "Listen, little sister, I have killed people, and the means were very cruel, but I have no ill will towards you. I just came to buy something, the Eternal Life Incense."

However, Qiqi didn't seem to be moved by Shao Yun's words. There was still a look of vigilance on her face, and there was even a hint of threat in her tone.

"Get out, you are not welcome in Bubulu!"

After saying that, she suddenly climbed up onto the counter nimbly and stood on it without even looking at Shao Yun.

Shao Yun looked at Qiqi standing at the counter and felt helpless. He thought the little girl was sick and didn't even look at him! So he turned around and asked, "Then may I ask Doctor Baizhu..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiqi interrupted him again, with an obvious warning in her voice.

"Don't touch the vase! It was given to Mr. Bai by a patient!"

Shao Yun was stunned. He did not make any touching movements, so he said in confusion: "I did not move anything..."

This time, Qiqi didn't look at Shao Yun, but cast her gaze behind Shao Yun. Her voice was still cold and emotionless.

"Don't touch the herbs either. Get out, get out!"

After hearing Qiqi's warning, Shao Yun's heart tightened, and he immediately turned around, his fingers skillfully slid across his waist, and the revolver instantly jumped into his hand. However, there was nothing in front of him.

He looked around, but saw nothing, no one.

Could it be because Qiqi is a zombie and can see things that ordinary people can’t see, so she saw the man in the tall hat!

An inexplicable chill surged in Shao Yun's heart. He turned to look at Qiqi, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes. He swallowed and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Little girl, don't look at the door, look at me."

Qiqi was infected by Shao Yun's nervousness. She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

"Ah? Oh, customer, what's wrong with you? Please leave quickly, there is a strange guy coming."

Shao Yun slowly put the revolver back to his waist. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his nervousness. He walked closer to Qiqi and said softly, "Don't be afraid, little girl. Tell me, what does that guy look like?"

Qiqi's gaze turned towards the door again. She frowned and described the guy she saw.

"That guy... was wearing a very tall hat, and..."

At this point, Qiqi's body suddenly froze, as if it was frozen.

"Miss Qiqi, don't look into that devil's eyes, look at me!" Shao Yun stood in front of Qiqi and shook her shoulders, trying to wake her up.

After a few seconds she shook her head in confusion and shouted, "Huh?"

Shao Yun's heart once again vigilantly stared in the direction Qiqi was looking, but he still saw nothing.

He turned to look at Qiqi and said seriously: "Listen, little girl, that thing may not be something that ordinary people can deal with. Don't look at it, and don't provoke it. Just pretend it doesn't exist and stay calm."

After hearing what Shao Yun said, Qiqi showed an even more confused expression on her face: "Qiqi doesn't understand what you are talking about."

After she finished speaking, she looked down at herself and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Why is Qiqi standing on the counter?" She quickly jumped down, her face full of confusion and puzzlement.

I don’t know whether Qiqi forgot or that devil did something.

But as long as that devil doesn't show up, I don't want to live my life in worry.

Qiqi climbed down the counter carefully, her eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness, because she felt that Shao Yun's expression was unusually solemn.

She pursed her lips slightly, trying to ease the tension in her heart, and then asked softly: "Did I say anything weird just now?"

Shao Yun's eyes were still fixed on the door. Finally, he just silently put away the revolver in his hand. The expression on his face eased a little, and there was a hint of indifference in his voice.

"It's okay, you just met a devil..."

Qiqi frowned slightly. She didn't hear Shao Yun's words clearly, so she asked again: "What did you say? Qiqi didn't hear clearly."

Shao Yun took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Qiqi. He shook his head gently, as if he wanted to get rid of the strange things, and then said, "Nothing, I'm here to buy something."

Hearing Shao Yun's words, Qi Qi seemed to have activated some kind of command, and immediately said: "If you want to get medicine, please take the prescription."

Shao Yun pondered for a moment, then said: "I want..."

But he suddenly paused, afraid that Qiqi would ask him for coconut milk, so he shook his head and said, "No, please, where is Doctor Bai?"

Qiqi replied: "Mr. Bai is out. If you want to see a doctor, please wait a moment."

Shao Yun nodded to show his understanding. He walked to a chair nearby and sat down, saying, "Okay, I'll wait for Doctor Bai."

……

Shao Yun leaned back in a chair, his eyes slightly closed, resting. The sunlight shone through the cracks in the window, dappling on his body.

In the Bulu Clinic, Qiqi was busy and orderly. She was carefully wiping every corner and sorting out the herbs in the medicine cabinet.

Just when Shao Yun was about to fall asleep, the sudden sound of footsteps broke the silence.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up, only to see Ying, Paimeng and Zhongli walking in side by side.

The three of them had a look of confusion and concern on their faces, as if they were looking for something.

"Why are you here?" Shao Yun's voice was filled with surprise and confusion.

Paimeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shao Yun was safe and sound.

"I was scared to death. After we delivered Yebo Stone, we found that you hadn't come yet, so I thought of coming to look for you." Her words revealed her concern for Shao Yun.

Shao Yun stood up, stretched his joints, and explained helplessly: "I'm waiting here for Doctor Bai Zhu to come back and buy the Eternal Life Incense."

Paimeng turned her gaze to Qiqi who was busy at the counter. She asked curiously, "Isn't there someone there? Can we buy directly from her?"

Shao Yun shook his head and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Believe me, if you buy immortality incense from this girl, you will regret it."

Paimeng looked at Shao Yun in confusion, with a hint of doubt and curiosity in his eyes: "No way? Let me try."

As they spoke, Paimeng and Ying walked towards Qiqi.

While Ying and Paimeng were talking to Qiqi, Shao Yun pulled Zhongli aside.

Shao Yun took out the three portions of ointment from his backpack, handed them to Zhongli, and said, "Mr. Zhongli, I got three portions of ointment according to your request."

Zhongli took the ointment and gently opened the cap. A light and fresh fragrance filled his nose. He looked at it carefully, put it away, and praised: "It is of high quality, and it is indeed a rare and fine product. With these ointments, our plan can save a lot of effort."

Shao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhongli, you don't have to be polite. As long as you can answer Ying's doubts, these trivial matters are not worth mentioning."

Zhongli nodded slightly to express his gratitude. He pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. Perhaps, when everything is settled, I can also answer some of your questions."

Shao Yun heard this, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. He pursed his lips and asked, "Mr. Zhongli, I have a question. What exactly is the 'big customer' of your Wangsheng Hall?"

Zhongli shook his head slightly and replied, "Our hall master has always been eccentric, and I can't accurately predict her intentions. However, she said there is no problem, and as a guest official, I will not interfere."

Shao Yun nodded to show his understanding. He asked tentatively, "So, Mr. Zhongli, do you think the hall master can properly handle the affairs of this 'big client'?"

Zhongli blinked and asked, "Why is Brother Shao Yun so concerned about this?"

Shao Yun shrugged and said casually, "It's just a small talk. Doctor Bai hasn't arrived yet, so we can just take this opportunity to kill time."

……

After a while, Ying and Paimeng finished their conversation with Qiqi and hurried over to where Shao Yun and Zhongli were. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, dappling on them and adding a bit of warmth to this quiet afternoon.

Ying stopped and looked at Zhongli and Shao Yun, her eyes revealing a bit of curiosity and determination. She asked, "Do you two know what coconut sheep are?" Her voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the empty courtyard.

When Zhongli heard this unfamiliar word, he frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "This is the first time I've heard of this kind of creature." His voice was steady and magnetic, giving people a sense of security.

Shao Yun patted his head gently, as if he had expected this topic. He smiled and said, "I have never heard of such a strange creature. However, I suggest that we wait for Doctor Bai to come back, or proceed to the next task first."

However, Ying was not shaken by Shao Yun's words. She recalled Qiqi's request.

She thought for a while, then said firmly: "Qiqi said that as long as we get the milk of the coconut goat, she will find us the immortal incense. I think we can give it a try."

Shao Yun was a little surprised when he heard this. He looked at Ying, then at Zhongli, then smiled helplessly and said, "How about two bottles of milk? They are both milk, and the taste should be similar."

He tried to dispel Ying's thoughts in this way.

However, Paimon shook her head, her voice clear and firm.

"It's wrong to lie to a child. Besides, it looks like Dr. Bai won't be back anytime soon. I think we can give it a try."

Seeing this, Shao Yun sighed helplessly. He spread his hands and asked, "But how can we find a creature that even Mr. Zhongli doesn't know about?" His tone revealed some confusion and uneasiness.

Ying was not bothered by this question. She pointed outside the door and said with a firm look, "Qiqi said that we can use the 'Return Machine' on Tianheng Mountain to hunt the 'Coconut Sheep'. As long as we bring the milk of the coconut sheep, she will find the Eternal Life Incense for us. Maybe the coconut sheep is in Tianheng Mountain."

Using the Guizhong machine to hunt Ganyu? Killing a chicken with a butcher knife. Why don't we find a few hundred Qingxin plants and place them all the way from Yujingtai to Bulu, just like attracting pigeons. Wouldn't it be better to attract them?

"My suggestion is that we wait for Mr. Bai Zhu to come back." Shao Yun proposed again.

After saying that, he added another sentence for fear that Ying would misunderstand that he was being arbitrary.

"However, Ying, it's up to you to decide. I'm just giving you some advice. I'll support you no matter what decision you make."

Ying weighed the pros and cons, and then said, "Then, let's go to Tianheng Mountain. Even if we can't find the coconut sheep, there's no loss. At least we tried."

"Okay, let's go to Tianheng Mountain."
