"Qiqi! I'm here to play with you!"
As soon as she entered, Hutao became like a wild horse, bouncing around everywhere.
One moment she was flipping tables, the next she was rummaging through drawers, as if she could find the hidden Qiqi that way.
Jack, on the other hand, directly shifted his gaze upwards.
He saw a tiny figure in the corner of the ceiling, like Spider-Man, propping herself up on the beams with all four limbs, watching Hutao, who was rummaging everywhere, with a calm expression.
However, when her pair of red eyes gradually shifted from Hutao's movements to Jack.
The usually expressionless Qiqi uncharacteristically showed a faint smile.
"Traveler... brother..."
Whoosh.
Qiqi's short legs pushed off, and she directly jumped from the ceiling towards Jack.
Jack extended his hands at the right moment.
Thump!
A cold body crashed into his embrace.
"Qiqi!!"
Everyone present looked at Jack.
Hutao was naturally no exception.
So Qiqi quickly buried her head, clutching Jack's collar with her small hands, speaking disjointedly.
"Warm... dislike..."
orz!
Hutao knelt on the ground in disappointment: "Again, again Qiqi said she dislikes me..."
Too lazy to bother with Hutao, who was clowning around, Jack patted Qiqi.
"It's alright, Qiqi, with me here, Hutao can't hurt you. And this time, she's here to apologize."
However, Qiqi still maintained her trembling posture.
She refused to show her face no matter what.
"Allow me to say something, Traveler." Bai Zhu explained: "Qiqi's memory is very unstable. In reality, she doesn't recognize Director Hu, but because of several unpleasant past experiences, her body remembers that feeling more deeply than her memory."
"So, fearing Director Hu has become an instinct. For humans, and even immortals, seeking benefits and avoiding harm is only natural."
It was a bit convoluted.
But Bai Zhu's meaning was very clear.
Qiqi was afraid of Hutao, who had buried her before, and her body had memorized this fear.
This had nothing to do with whether Hutao regretted it or not.
Unless her muscle memory could be changed, or...
"If Qiqi regains her consciousness, it should be fine, right?"
"Theoretically, yes, but Qiqi's problem is not just amnesia. There are multiple heterogeneous powers within her body, currently maintaining a delicate balance, and this balance is not something that can be easily broken."
"What if a power far exceeding the heterogeneous powers you speak of appeared and integrated them?"
Jack smiled.
"Is there such a power? According to my investigation, even Rock King Emperor…"
Jack smiled mysteriously and took out a Maid Charm.
"What Rock King Emperor cannot do, does not mean I cannot do."
After saying something that would infuriate a Liyue Emperor fan.
Jack leaned close to Qiqi's ear and whispered, "Big Brother will treat you in a moment. If any voice asks if you agree, just nod and say yes, understand?"
"Okay… Big Brother…"
Qiqi replied to him flatly.
Then, Jack, in front of Bai Zhu, Changsheng, and Hutao, used the Maid Charm in his hand on Qiqi.
Buzz~
A white light suddenly enveloped Qiqi's body.
An invisible force lifted her into the air.
Qiqi felt a warmth she had never experienced before and slowly closed her eyes.
A few breaths later, Qiqi reopened her eyes, feeling the world clearer than ever before.
"Big Brother."
She called out smoothly, then used immortal arts to fly, lightly returning to the spot where Jack had just held her.
This time, Qiqi's control over her own power, and the brief physical movements she displayed.
Fully demonstrated that she was no longer the zombie on the brink of life and death, but an immortal named True Monarch of Salvation and Deliverance.
"What in the world is this…"
"A mighty power beyond the gods! Astounding!"
Bai Zhu and his partner Changsheng expressed their shock, one after another.
"I just subtly changed Qiqi's world registry. Things that Teyvat can't solve are trivial in my MC's eyes."
Whether it's angels, or demons, or even outer gods, all seemingly incompatible powers become logical after applying MC modules.
Change world registry?
Bai Zhu caught the key phrase he used.
To fulfill the long-cherished wish of his lineage of healers, Bai Zhu had spent years exploring the path to immortality, which inevitably involved dealing with extraterrestrial beings like those from the Abyss.
Seeing Jack so easily heal Qiqi.
His compassionate heart as a healer couldn't help but tremble.
"May I examine Qiqi's current physical condition?"
"You'll have to ask the child for her opinion."
Qiqi nodded and said, "Mr. Bai, no problem."
Then she jumped out of Jack's arms and extended her fair, tender little hand to Bai Zhu.
While Bai Zhu was taking Qiqi's pulse.
Hutao stealthily crept closer, also seriously observing Qiqi, whose appearance hadn't changed but whose life form had actually transformed.
"Strange, strange. All this death aura has dissipated, and instead, there's an added auspiciousness." Hutao looked at Jack: "What kind of miraculous elixir did you give her? Why don't you give me one too?"
So Jack took out another Maid Charm.
"You really have one?!"
Hutao had only said it casually, not expecting Jack to immediately produce one. Her lips curved up, "One isn't enough. Xiangling, Yunjin, Yanfei, they don't have any yet. Why don't you take out a dozen first?"
"A dozen… I'll give you a dozen directly!"
Jack flicked Hutao's forehead.
"Do you think this thing is like cabbage? Even for me, this item is now non-renewable; one less every time it's used!"
When these words were spoken, the one who heard them in his heart was not the pouting Hutao.
But Bai Zhu, who was taking Qiqi's pulse nearby.
After examining Qiqi, he understood very well that such a treasure was exceptionally precious.
He dared not hope that the Traveler would directly bestow it upon him as he did with Hutao and Qiqi, but with immortality so close, for his master's lifelong wish and his own, he was willing to make any sacrifice.
"As expected of the Traveler, his healing methods are quite extraordinary. Not only has Qiqi's intelligence been fully restored, but her very essence of life has also evolved upwards. Her lifespan is probably unmatched even by ancient Archons."
"Qiqi survived based on her own will to live. Due to an accident back then, she was in a state of neither life nor death. All I did was give her a push on her path to success."
Pulling Qiqi back, Jack could sense that Bai Zhu's attitude had changed significantly.
And that was also his purpose in healing Qiqi in front of him.
It was Hutao who suggested visiting Qiqi.
But upon seeing Bai Zhu at the same time.
He had the idea of poaching him.
Liyue has so many talents.
Doctors, blacksmiths, architects, shipwrights, and so on.
With Entara's meager population, it would probably take several generations of effort to fully grasp the educational materials he left behind.
Such development would be too slow.
Now that the opportunity was right, he decided to poach a Doctor of Medicine for Entara first, to thoroughly develop the peculiarities of the MC human physique.
In the future, whether it be the Gatekeeper Legion or the Dragon Knight Legion, he believed they would not be far off.
