Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 163 Fantasy Friends

Ying also waved and greeted Flora.

"Hello, may I ask you something?"

Flora nodded and smiled, "Okay, what can I do for you, Flora?"

"Who's that next to you...?"

After Ying asked the question, Flora hesitated and said, "Huh? You can see Pengpeng? Nobody else can see Pengpeng."

Although somewhat unexpected, it didn't take long before Flora introduced her fantasy friends.

"Pengpeng is my best friend, we grew up together!"

After saying that, Flora turned around and spoke to the Pompom Fruit.

"Pengpeng, say hello to everyone, they're watching you."

Paimon looked annoyed because both Ying and Wendy could see other people's imaginary friends, but she herself couldn't.

Unhappy, Paimon turned away, looking elsewhere, feeling extremely frustrated.

(Hmm... this feeling of being the only one excluded... wait, who is that person...?)

At this moment, Courteney, realizing she had been discovered, stepped out from behind the cover and waved to Paimon.

After a moment's thought, Paimon remembered Courtney.

(Is she Lingling's younger sister? I remember... what was her name again?)

Seeing Courteney wave at him, Paimon returned the greeting.

Seeing this, Courteney jogged over and asked Paimon curiously, "Paimon, what are you doing? Buying flowers?"

"We're looking for fantasy friends. Hmm... do you know what fantasy friends are?"

Courtney was somewhat puzzled after Paimon asked the question.

Just then, Wendy asked Flora a question.

"Flora, why is your friend a bouncy fruit?"

Flora countered, "Why not? I've always wanted to be friends with flying plants."

Hearing the sound, Paimon and Courteney looked over, their curiosity piqued.

"A flying plant? A friend? Why?"

After Paimon asked the question, Flora uttered her catchphrase, and began to explain, almost as if showing off.

"Whoosh, when the wind blows, you and your friends will fly into the sky and go to the farthest place. Isn't that amazing?"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and complained, "Wasn't that just being blown away?!"

"Hmph, some people say that too... I only learned about this plant from someone else's adventure story. If I remember correctly, the traveler's name was... Stanley!"

Upon hearing this name, Ying recalled the storyteller who told stories every day at the Angel's Gift Tavern.

“I’ve met Stanley too.”

Seeing that Ying knew Stanley, Flora started gossiping.

"Stanley's an adventurer, you know. Just listening to his stories, you can tell he's a seasoned adventurer, wow! 'The Amazing Adventures of Stanley' is super famous in Mondstadt! He's in town right now; if you want to hear it, you can go find him."

Silently noting this to herself, Wendy smiled and said, "That's great, we'll go listen next time, but right now, we have other things to do... Achoo! Who's there? Why does that smell like cat?"

Wendy glanced behind her warily, then looked down at Courteney.

Looking at the unfamiliar face, Wendy asked, "Who are you...?"

Courtney didn't introduce herself immediately, but looked at Wendy curiously and kept getting closer.

Wendy took several steps back in alarm, sneezing incessantly.

(A bard, allergic to cat fur and sneezing, the eye of the wind god, a little whip, and he even knows Sister Ying—ah! He is the wind god Barbatos!)

"Lord Barbatos! May you teach me to play the piano?"

Shh! — Achoo! — Move away a bit... Achoo!

After realizing her lapse in composure, Courteney took a few steps back, took out the Negative Status Purifier, and sprayed it on Wendy.

"Excuse me, I'm sorry. Hello, my name is Courteney, and I aspire to be a bard!"

When Courteney called Wendy Barbatos, the passersby looked on with puzzled expressions.

Paimon quickly waved his hand and explained, "Ah... we're playing a game with her!"

After explaining, Paimon began to introduce the topic.

"Wendy, this is Courtney, Lingling's sister."

Wendy rubbed her nose, still shaken, and said, "Sister Lingling? Ah... I know. Your name is Courteney, right? If you want me to teach you to play the piano, you'll have to pay tuition, you know."

Courtney nodded without hesitation.

"Tuition fees, right? How many Mora?"

Wendy held up one finger, and Courteney began to guess.

"One hundred thousand?"

Wendy shook her head.

"one million?"

Wendy shook her head again.

"Hmm...how much?"

Wendy replied, "A gourd-shaped bottle filled with dandelion liqueur!"

The so-called gourd bottle is the beverage bottle with unlimited refills in the system's Mora Shop.

Whatever you pour into it, it will contain an infinite amount of the same liquid.

Therefore, once it's full, the liquid inside cannot be replaced. Because there's simply too much liquid inside to empty completely!

How exaggerated is it? If its mouth is big enough, just lay it flat on a table and the entire city of Mondstadt might flood the next day.

Fortunately, the system is ingeniously designed, with a very small opening, so nothing will happen even if it's poured out all day.

Courtney looked bewildered when she heard the amount of payment Wendy wanted.

"Huh? What is that?"

Seeing that little Courtney didn't know about this, Wendy's lips curled up slightly, and she drooled.

"It's okay, just tell your brother about it."

With a slurp, Wendy licked back the drool that had spilled out and chuckled sheepishly.

Courtney immediately agreed upon hearing this.

"Okay, then it's settled! It's just a gourd of dandelion wine, my brother's really good at it. By the way... Sister Paimon, what were you doing just now? What's this 'fantasy friend'?"

Paimon replied, "Hmm... just imaginary friends. By the way, Traveler, see if Courteney has any imaginary friends."

Nodding, Ying put on the detector and then showed a surprised expression.

Seeing this, Paimon asked with great curiosity.

"how's it going?"

After removing the detector, Ying rubbed her eyes and looked at the open space beside her.

After confirming it wasn't a hallucination, I put it back on.

After pondering for a while, Ying began to describe it.

"Courtney's fantasy friend... is a man with only an upper body, no lower body, and his face is covered in blood."

Upon hearing Ying's words, Courtney tilted her head in confusion.

"Bloodstains? What bloodstains...?"

Then Courtney followed Ying's gaze and looked at that familiar figure.
