Bubu Pharmecy

At Bubu Pharmecy

"Hello, welcome to Bubu pharmecy." Called a tiny girl's voice.

I walked over to find a little short, white haired girl, with a strange sigil slip beneath her medicine hat.

"Hello, I am Qiqi, a zombie and a healer." Greeted Qiqi.

"Hello Qiqi." Greeted Zhongli.

"A zombie?!" Asked Paimon, shocked.

"Don't they eat people or brains?" I asked, concerned a little.

"Don't worry, I wont, I give myself orders." Explained Qiqi slowly as she pointed at the sigil slips.

"We came here to see if you have any everlasting incense." Began Zhongli.

"Do you have a prescription?" Asked Qiqi.

"Well, no." Replied Zhongli.

"I'm not sure if you can buy something this rare it if you don't have a prescription." Replied Qiqi.

"Please, it's for the funeral ceremony." Replied Zhongli.

"Hmm, Qiqi will give you if you help me with something," Qiqi replied slowly.

"What do you need help with?" I asked, curious.

"Qiqi likes to drink cocogoat milk, it's very sweet if I remember correctly," replied Qiqi.

"Cocogoat?" I asked, glancing at Zhongli and Paimon in confusion.

"It's a legendary Adepti beast that requires the use of the Guizhong ballista to hunt it." Replied Qiqi hopefully.

"Alright." I replied.

"Guess we should go fix the Guizhong Ballista." Replied Zhongli as I followed him out.

By the Guizhong Ballista tower

"Over there!" Yelled a millieth soldiers.

"Not again!" Yelled Paimon.

"Millieth soldiers?" Asked Zhongli, glancing at us.

"Yeah, see we ran away after the accident during the Right of Ascension..." I replied as I explained to Zhongli what happened.

"Traveler, if you don't mind can you deal with those soldiers while I fix the Guizhong Ballista?" Asked Zhongli glancing at me.

"Sure," I replied as I readied my sword.

"Windblade!" I yelled as the wind current sent them over the tiny cliff.

"That should stop them." Says Paimon.

"They have back-up." I noticed as three more soldiers ran up the stairs.

"Be gone!" I yelled as I sent a wind current their way.

After defeating some of the Milieth soldiers, I went to check up on Zhongli who was still fixing the Guizhong Ballista.

When Zhongli finally finished looking through the ballista, he waved for me to come over.

I walked over to where he was standing.

"Look through here." Says Zhongli as he points at the scope of the Guizhong ballista.

I nodded and looked through the scope of the huge weapon.

"No sign of cocogoat anywhere," I replied, slightly confused.

"Cocogoat, even I never heard such thing." Replied Zhongli.

"Wait, what if there is no such thing as a cocogoat, maybe the coco milk she was talking about came from coconuts." I realized.

"I was thinking the same thing." Replied Zhongli with a small chuckle.

I followed him back towards Liyue harbor.

After arriving to Bubu Pharmacy

"Did you fix the Guizhong ballista?" Asked Qiqi as we got back.

"Yes," I replied.

Zhongli nodded.

"Did you find the cocogoat?" Asked Qiqi.

"Unfortunately, no." Replied Zhongli.

"Oh," sighed Qiqi looking a little sad.

"The coco milk, it actually comes from coconuts, which come from palm trees," I explained to Qiqi, trying not to laugh.

A bubbly laugh was heard behind us as we turned around to find a green-haired young man with glasses and a snake around his neck.

"Oh Qiqi, I'll get you some cocogoat milk." Chuckled the green-haired man.

"Hello Baizhu, good to see you." Greeted Zhongli.

"Zhongli xiansheng, good to see you." Replied Baizhu, he then glanced at us, "you are?" He asked.

"I am Y/N, a traveler." I replied, reaching my hand out to shake but not before noticing the snake.

"Please to meet you Y/N, I am Baizhu." Smiled Baizhu.

"It must be a snake they test their medicine on." Comments Paimon.

"Cute pet you got there," I commented too.

"I am not an experiment or a pet! I am perfectly free out of the medicine cabinets around here! I am a living being." Replied the white snake in an annoyed, tiny lady's voice.

I almost jumped a little and couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, don't mind ChangSheng." Chuckled Baizhu as he petted his snake.

"You and Paimon should be friends." I joked at Changsheng.

Changsheng then glanced at Paimon.

Paimon goes over to pet Changsheng and they'd be talking about random things like food and their little adventures.

"So what brings you two here?" Asked Baizhu, glancing at us.

"We came here to buy everlasting essence." Replied Zhongli.

"And what's that for?" Asked Baizhu curiously.

"For the Rite of Parting ceremony, to send away the great Archon Rex Lapis." Replied Zhongli.

"I see, I heard what happened." Nodded Baizhu as he went to find the item from his store.

Zhongli then went out the pharmacy door to greet someone.

A loud, bubbly laugh came behind us.

Childe walked in and was laughing too much.

"Cocogoat?!" He asked and laughed again, "I never laughed this good for a long time." Chuckled Childe.

"Didn't know Fatuis could laugh." Whispered Paimon.

Childe paid and then asked Paimon and me for intel when Zhongli left.

I was about to tell him information, but Paimon suddenly stopped me.

"Oh yeah, I remember what happened when one of your Fatui harbingers tried to kill Venti," I replied, a bit angry.

"What do you expect? We just sometimes do things that way, girlie." Snickered Childe.

We quickly left before an argument or fight was gonna start.
