"Eternal Scent... May I ask... is there a prescription for it..."
"A prescription? This... Eternal Scent has nothing to do with curing illnesses, does it..."
"Stop, stop, stop! We'll just wait for the boss to come back here!" Ying quickly interrupted their conversation.
"Mm... Alright," Zhongli nodded and sat on a nearby chair, closing his eyes to rest.
"Huh? But... weren't you here to... buy something...?"
"Ahem~ It's fine, it's fine. Besides buying things, I also wanted to chat with Qiqi."
(Phew... I don't want to go fix any Regulators again... Let the Millelith handle that work~)
"Is that so... Alright then..."
"Hahaha~ You're in deep water now, you can't even wash yourself clean!" Seeing Ying sit down on the ground and whisper with Qiqi, the Traveler couldn't help but laugh and tease.
"Hmph~ You're just jealous of me. Who wouldn't like such a cute little thing? ( ̄へ ̄)"
"Mhm... You make a good point. I'm also very fond of my own younger brother. So, would you like to chat with me too? (^_^)"
"What business do you have in a conversation between girls? Shouldn't you be discussing philosophy with Zhongli?"
"Hahaha~ Mr. Zhongli is profoundly knowledgeable. My meager wisdom is no match for his. But standing alone is rather boring, so I can only chat with you all~"
"Mhm... You have some self-awareness. Alright, alright~ But don't tease me again, or I'll let Qiqi bite you!"
"Bite? Me?"
"Ah... Ahem~ No, no. I was just speaking carelessly. How could I bear to let you bite him? Have a candy, have a candy~" Ying quickly took out a pile of candies and started her feeding plan.
"Mm... Delicious..."
"Hahaha~ It's good you won't bite. Speaking of which, I can hardly believe what you said earlier about making the Lady back down."
"Hmph~ That only means you have a short-sighted view. If that wretched Scaramouche hadn't ambushed me, I wouldn't have lost~ ( ̄へ ̄)"
(Okay, I was talking about the Lady in her normal state...)
"Hehehe... Badmouthing other Harbingers right in front of me, how am I supposed to respond to you?"
"Just say what you really think, right Qiqi~ (^~^)"
"Say it... and I get candy?"
"Yes, yes, yes~ Hee hee, big sister will feed you, open your mouth~" Ying coaxed Qiqi while putting a candy into her open mouth.
The Traveler thought for a moment and said, "Mhm... To be precise, she should be older than you~"
"Ah, this... Ahem~ Because I'm taller than her, I'm the older sister (* ̄з ̄)"
"Oh? Then since I'm taller than you, am I your older brother?"
"Bah! Dream on! Don't even mention it, Lumine will slice you first! ( ̄へ ̄)"
"Hahaha~ That's true~"
After chatting for a long time, the few of them finally waited for Baizhu's arrival...
"Mhm... I didn't expect so many customers to come to the shop all of a sudden. Qiqi, didn't you get them their medicine?"
"Mm, Qiqi... haven't seen Ying for a long time... now... playing... with them..." Qiqi said, looking at Baizhu, but she didn't leave Ying's embrace.
"Oh? You must be the little... uh... girl Qiqi mentioned, right?"
"e"
"Phew~ Your turn now, Ying." The Traveler breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ying.
"Mm? What is it?"
"What else? Of course, it's bargaining. Use your charm and cuteness."
"No, I'm tired from bargaining just now ( ̄へ ̄)"
"Uh... Don't go against me at a time like this!"
"Hmph~ Who told you to piss me off just now? If you want my help, fine, give me another fifty thousand, and I'll help you bargain~"
"You're... the middleman making a profit..."
"Ay~ It's all going to be spent anyway, might as well give a little to me. So, do you agree or not? (* ̄з ̄)"
"Hahaha... If you became a merchant, you'd definitely be a shrewd one. Alright, alright, I agree~"
"Go, go, go~ You're the shrewd one. What shrewd merchant looks this cute? ( ̄へ ̄)"
Quickly, relying on her relationship with Qiqi, Ying managed to lower the price to two million...
"Phew... Is that good enough, Traveler? If it's too little, people won't be happy. You need to consider their business~"
"Oh? But you weren't like this when you were bargaining for yourself earlier~ (^_^)"
"Ah, this... Ahem~ You can't blame me for that. After all, people are inherently hypocritical (* ̄з ̄)"
"Hahaha... Alright, alright~ I get it. But it's really nice to have a friend who's good at bargaining. I might ask for your help again in the future~"
"You're treating me like a discount coupon. No way, no way~ ( ̄へ ̄)"
"Don't say that. Didn't I help you all before? Let's consider it repaying a favor, how about it? (^_^)"
"Oh? You're sure you want to exchange our favor for you bargaining? That's a terrible deal," Ying asked curiously.
"Of course, I'm sure~ And I'm not exchanging it for bargaining, but for friendship. I really enjoyed the time spent with you. This feeling is completely different from what I experience in the Fatui."
"Mhm... Rationally speaking... I shouldn't trust an enemy. But since it's you... then alright~"
"Hahaha~ I didn't realize I left such a good impression on you?"
"No, you said so many bad things about me, you're not good at all. But compared to people like the Lady and Scaramouche, you're much better. Anyway, do your best, don't disappoint me. If you disappoint me, I'll have Lumine slice you up."
(Sigh~ Traveler, you better step up and prove yourself, don't let all my talking go to waste.)
"Alright, alright, you little brat, always relying on your older sister."
"Hmph~ Only a big idiot wouldn't rely on their backer. Hurry up and pay~"
Saying that, Ying ran to the side and started getting cozy with Qiqi again.
