"Zhong Li seems planning something."
Permont gets confused but still don't understand what Zhong Li just said means.
"Forget it, traveler, let's take Qiqi to buy some more delicious food! Oh, let's go!"
The traveler can not help but sigh.
Since it's Sea Lantern Festival, the traveler thinks it is good to make delicious food for Permont, who had nothing to eat but the sweet flower stuffed chicken in the ordinary days.
But now, she can never understand why three 'fairy jumping walls' can still not satisfied that little flying creature!
"Well..."
Qi Qi on the shoulder does not seem to understand what it means.
I'll treat Permont to something for the sake of Qi Qi, although I've already eaten a lot. The traveler thinks so.
The traveler was surprised to see that Qi Qi, who usually only likes coconut milk, seemed to want to try everything, and ate everything from the market to the Tiger Rock, and ate almost all of Liyue's specialties, even the famous Tianshu meat, which has a serious* **cess of fat, and even Permont was stunned.
"Oh, Permont, Permont is too useless!"
Permont cannot fly because of her filled stomach, and she was holding a round belly and lying on the long-exhausted traveler.
The traveler looked up while the moonlight sprinkled on the body of Qiqi sits on the bench; she couldn't believe that little girl is a zombie. But at this time, Qiqi has been sweetly asleep.
"Hush, traveler! Remember our agreement with Zhongli!"
The traveler nodded, slowly carried Qiqi, ready to take her back to the Bu Bu house.
The night is very late. Although the pier is still lively, many people are waiting for New Year's coming. But at this time, Qiqi is very tired.
Away from the bustle, they walk towards the silent Tianheng Mountain. Qiqi is in a deep sleep, seems to be mumbling something.
Permont listened carefully and found that Qiqi was chanting numbers, one, two, three... and it stopped at seven.
"Qiqi is so cute!"
The two began to discuss the origin of the name 'Qiqi.' Is it that Qiqi loves to chant the numbers, and each time only to seven?
While the traveler and Permont were joking, suddenly, when Qiqi reached the seventh seven, she opened her eyes.
The scene around her suddenly changed and distorted, making a strange sound.
Unknowingly, when they recovered, they found themselves in front of a quaint antique store.
"Oh! That's it! That's it!"
Permont excitedly reminded the travelers of a fairy tale, the legendary appearance of the mysterious grocery store!
So, the legend is true?
They push open the old heavy door made by a thick wood, only to see a woman with foxy eyes, pursed lips, sit at the side of the counter, in a respectful tone, asked the travelers what they are looking for.
Permont saw that the room is full of exotic treasures. So, she immediately searched for valuable things and kept urging the traveler to buy for her, which is alarming that they could earn a lot of Mora.
The traveler shook his head helplessly.
The shopkeeper kept looking at the traveler as if she wanted to read his thought, but in the end, she could only shake her head and said.
" It seems that my store does not have anything you want, such as... something to show that your brother was taken away by the Tian Li."
The traveler was surprised and was about to continue her questioning when she found that Qiqi had disappeared.
While the two of them were busy searching for Qiqi, Qiqi suddenly appeared from a corner, holding a beautiful colored glaze crystal in her hand, and refused to let go of it.
She seems to really like it, don't you think so, Permont?
The shopkeeper looked at Qiqi a little while with her charming eyes, and at the end, she said quietly: "This is a rare glass that contains thousands of years of history and the Tian Li, with the deep memories of the maker."
Permont gets a headache, for she thinks the crystal should be costly, while the shopkeeper said that all the things in the store are destined to be prepared for the people who deserve it. This glaze crystal should have belonged to Qiqi.
Qiqi was holding the crystal and do not want to let it go, and she doesn't realize they had walked out of the store.
When they looked back, they found no store but a bustling Liyue port in front of them.
The light shines through the fancy crystal, while the pupils of Qiqi shine with a lavender color.
A few days later, the Bubu house people came to ask about the travelers that Qiqi disappeared.
