Chapter 161 Returning Home
"You are just trying to be argumentative."
Yaya poked a piece of fish fillet with a fork and put it in her mouth: "Unless you are a lawless guy, shouldn't you follow some laws and morals when doing anything you want to do?"
"What you said makes sense, but I don't want to listen."
The two clinked their glasses and said, "By the way, I don't think there will be any trouble when you return."
"Why, don't tell me your plan is about to start anytime soon."
"Really?"
"Well, that's not the case. We, the Fatui, have applied to conduct archaeological excavations in some of your ancient ruins areas in Liyue. We think the application will be approved after we return this time. There will most likely be no obstacles."
"Archaeology? Where are you going?"
"Places like Tianqiu Valley and Dunyu Mausoleum are basically deserted places."
YaYa calmly revealed the Fatui's intelligence: "It is precisely because of these places that I think there shouldn't be any obstacles to the so-called archaeological application."
Gu Sanqiu quite impolitely took the unused chopsticks beside him and turned them around twice in his hand.
"No, now that you've told me, there were no obstacles before, but there are now."
"Hey, is there anyone like you?"
YaYa looked at Gu Sanqiu with empty eyes: "We won't do anything to these places. Even if we accidentally hit the ruins after encountering monsters, it shouldn't be considered as destroying cultural relics."
"After all, those places have not been developed for so many years. You don't have a mental illness that makes you ignore something completely normally, but when someone touches it, you think it's very important and don't want others to touch it."
"What you said can indeed be considered a kind of mental illness, but it is obvious that I don't have it. I just want to make things difficult for you."
Gu Sanqiu stopped twirling the chopsticks and placed them in front of Tartaglia with great malice.
"How about you finish your dinner with chopsticks today and I won't care what you do?"
"Haha, this is really a bit difficult for me."
YaYa put down the fork in her hand with a helpless look, and then picked up the chopsticks in a rather stiff posture.
Click.
Gu Sanqiu took a look at the chopsticks that were broken by Yaya and could only raise his hand to ask someone to send another pair over.
"Calm down, calm down, how about treating this thing as a novel weapon?"
Gu Sanqiu kindly reminded him that although chopsticks and the like were not worth much money, Yaya's overly nervous operation did make him a little dazed.
What if this guy gets angry and starts fighting with him during our rare leisurely meal time?
"When weapons are used to a high level, they are like arms and fingers, like an extension of your body. How about trying to adapt to chopsticks in this way?"
Yaya chose to follow Gu Sanqiu's advice, closed her eyes and carefully felt it, using the chopsticks in her hand as a weapon with a serious attitude.
brush!
A cold light flashed by, and Gu Sanqiu reacted quickly and created a small shield in front of himself, blocking the cold light that wanted to move forward.
The table in front of the two people had already been cut in half by the sharp edges of the chopsticks, and the food naturally fell to the ground.
After a bang, the chopsticks in Yaya's hand could not withstand the strength of the sharp blade and exploded into tiny wood chips in his hand.
…
"Forget it, you should just use a knife and fork."
Gu Sanqiu sighed, "I'll give you a list of the bandits outside the city. No matter what you do, just wipe out those guys hanging around in the wild as my reward for not hindering you."
"Besides - go order a new table of food, you idiot!"
"I told you to learn how to use it as a weapon, but I didn't tell you to actually use it as a weapon!"
…
The door opened and Gu Sanqiu returned home. After closing the door, he did not choose to go to sleep, but walked directly into the incense room.
After a long time, Gu Sanqiu appeared, closed the door, and then yawned loudly.
"Are you so tired, kid?"
A cat appeared in the courtyard, squatting on the yam apple tree, staring at Gu Sanqiu with its eyes.
"Did you encounter something strange during this trip?"
"Well, you could say that."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "This time I went out and met a former demon god. That guy thought I was so handsome, so he passed all his power to me."
"The devil?"
The cat believed it and looked at Gu Sanqiu seriously: "Come here, I will check you out."
"Uh, Senior, this is not good, right?"
"Not good, come here quickly!"
The cat shook his head in displeasure: "Back then, for someone to be treated by me personally, it would have required at least a large amount of merit. Today, you are lucky enough to get it."
"It's not like I haven't treated your ancestors before. Back then, that little guy even came to ask me if we could open a clinic together to make a lot of money after the war. You Gu family members are really weird."
Gu Sanqiu walked over obediently and stretched out his right hand.
This guy is a member of the immortal family. From the sound of his voice, he seems to have had some interactions with a certain generation of his ancestors, so there shouldn't be any problem.
"Well, your pulse seems to be quite stable. Even if you really have obtained the power of the devil, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the cat, which was clasping its hands, or rather its paws, and then resting one of its hind legs on his wrist.
"So, Senior, you use your hind legs to diagnose a pulse?"
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No, you are really amazing."
"Humph, you're smart."
"Okay, I can't see any problem, so there should be no problem."
"It's the same as if you didn't say anything."
"What do you know, youngster? If I can see something wrong, it proves that your so-called power is not compatible with you at all. I can see the clues if there is a conflict, then I will naturally need to cast a spell to diagnose and treat it."
"But if I can't see any problem, it means that the power you absorbed is a perfect match for your body. As long as you don't overuse it, nothing serious will happen."
"And as your own strength increases, that power will eventually be completely under your control."
"All of this is based on the premise that I have gained some kind of power."
Gu Sanqiu couldn't help but say, "But senior, do you really believe what I said? Maybe I just said it casually?"
"Haha, I know you too well about the Gu family."
Cat looked up at Gu Sanqiu and said, "This is the way your family speaks. If you take the truth and process it a little, most people won't believe you because the concept of 'no decent Gu family member' has been deeply rooted in people's minds."
"Your family has avoided a lot of trouble in this way ."
"Wait, you know so much about my family, and you can also cure diseases... Are you the Medicine Furnace Master?"
The cat jumped up and pawed Gu Sanqiu.
"Okay kid, I know what you're going to say. I'm old, tired, and lazy, so I've become what I am now. I'm no longer as majestic as I used to be. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Medicine furnace master showed his claws.
"…I'm satisfied. Please continue. I promise not to interrupt."
