"Mr. Duruluf's cold illness is not incurable. I have something here that can completely expel the cold from Mr. Duruluf's body, but the price required is beyond your ability to bear..."
Feng Yi thought of the snake gallbladder wine stored in the Serenitea Pot. This was the best item for dispelling dampness and expelling cold.
Ordinary snake gallbladder wine might not be able to completely cure the cold in Duruluf's body, but medicinal wine brewed from the gallbladder of a divine beast would definitely work.
However, he had only met Duruluf by chance and had no connection to him, so he naturally wouldn't give away this hard-earned divine beast gallbladder wine for free.
The divine beast organs and immortal wine required to brew the medicinal wine were all rare treasures in the world, and ordinary hunters could not afford them.
"Knight, no matter how much Mora it takes, I will earn money hunting and repay you later!"
Diona, seeing that Feng Yi indeed had a way, wiped away her tears and looked at him with hope.
"How much Mora do you need, Knight? Just tell us. We've all been taken care of by Chief Duruluf. If we all contribute a little Mora, we can definitely find a way!"
"That's right, that's right. Without his wife knowing, I've still got tens of thousands of Mora in secret savings. Today, for Chief Duruluf, I'm willing to take it all out..."
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, me too!"
"Everyone..."
Duruluf felt a warmth spread through him as he looked at his neighbors and friends who were offering their help.
With such a group of friends who shared his hardships, he felt his life had been worthwhile!
Regardless of whether he could be cured, he would definitely repay everyone well in the future.
"This cup of medicinal wine is brewed using the gallbladder of the divine beast Ba Qiu, supplemented with immortal wine from a Liyue immortal. It has a miraculous effect on dispelling dampness and cold... To put it bluntly, this cup of medicinal wine is a rare treasure in the world, priceless!"
Before Feng Yi departed for Mondstadt, he said goodbye to Cloud Retainer. As per their agreement, half a barrel of this divine beast gallbladder wine was taken by her.
This good stuff, which could nourish the kidneys, consolidate essence, and invigorate yin and yang, was something Feng Yi himself was reluctant to drink too much of.
The small cup he was giving away today was enough to allow him to fight 300 rounds with Ganyu.
If he couldn't trick Diona into working for him as a bartender, he would be at a huge loss!
"Divine beast gallbladder?! Immortal's immortal wine?!"
"My Watermelon Banana Ball, how much Mora would that be worth?!"
The crowd exclaimed in disbelief upon hearing Feng Yi's introduction. They had never dared to imagine anything so extravagant.
Both divine beasts and immortals were unattainable fantasies that existed only in legends.
Who would have thought that they, as mere mortals, would have the honor of touching upon legends today?
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the pale brown, richly fragrant medicinal wine in Feng Yi's hand.
Even though they couldn't drink it, just smelling it would be enough material for them to brag about for the rest of their lives.
"Knight, please take it back. It's too precious to waste on me, it's not worth it!"
Upon learning the value of the wine, Duruluf hastily refused.
He was just a small-town hunter, and even with a lifetime of effort, he couldn't afford this small cup of medicinal wine.
It was better to leave peacefully and without burdening Diona, rather than carrying a huge debt for the rest of his life and even dragging his daughter into the vortex of repayment.
This was his responsibility as a father!
"Father, please drink it quickly. Diona can't live without you!"
But for Diona, even divine beast medicinal wine was far less important than her father's place in her heart.
Diona couldn't imagine what life would be like without her father.
Even though she usually hated her father's drinking the most, she was now strongly supporting it.
"Mr. Duruluf, this cup of wine is a gift from me. You just need to agree to one condition..."
Duruluf was a good father, this was undeniable. He would rather face death calmly than let his debts affect his daughter's life.
But if he didn't drink it, how could Feng Yi trick Diona into working for him?
"What condition?"
Duruluf turned to Feng Yi, he never believed in free lunches.
He was just an ordinary hunter, what was so special about him that this person would be interested in?
"To be honest, Diona and I have a connection..."
But Duruluf interrupted Feng Yi before he could finish.
"Knight, Diona... she's still a child!"
Duruluf's face was filled with anger and resentment as he glared at Feng Yi.
He didn't expect this person to be lusting after Diona's beauty!
But Diona was still a child!
This person was truly a hypocrite and a beast in human clothing!
He would rather die here than let Diona fall into the hands of this demon!
Diona was stunned by this. If sacrificing herself could save her father, she...
"Ahem! Mr. Duruluf, you've misunderstood! Listen to me first. I mean that Diona has a great talent for bartending. I plan to open a tavern in Mondstadt and would like to invite Diona to be the bartender. In exchange, this cup of medicinal wine will be given to you for free..."
Feng Yi was choked by Duruluf's wild train of thought and coughed. When did he say he was lusting after Diona's body?
Although he liked beautiful women, he wouldn't go after a child.
"Oh, is that so? I misunderstood you. I'm so sorry. My apologies, I misunderstood you, haha... But this matter, we still need to ask Diona for her opinion!"
Hearing Feng Yi's explanation, Duruluf's expression froze instantly, then he apologized to Feng Yi awkwardly.
Duruluf: Ahem, I knew from the start that this Knight was a kind-hearted and righteous gentleman. Anyone who dares to say otherwise, I'll be the first to disagree!
Although the misunderstanding was resolved, Duruluf did not want to force Diona to become a bartender.
Because he knew that Diona hated his drinking the most, and had an irreconcilable feud with alcohol.
Forcing his own daughter to do something she hated was not the act of a responsible father.
"If it can cure Father, Diona will help you with the bartending!"
Diona looked at Feng Yi seriously. For her father's health, she had no other choice.
This was also a good opportunity to destroy Mondstadt's alcohol industry and realize her great ideal.
Diona felt this was a fair trade!
"Deal! Mr. Duruluf, hurry up and try it!"
Feng Yi's plan had succeeded, and he was in a great mood. He handed the medicinal wine in his hand to Duruluf, who was sitting on the ground.
Duruluf carefully took the expensive medicinal wine, brought it gently to his nose to smell its aroma, and a look of intoxicated bliss spread across his face.
For a seasoned drinker like him, this immortal brew was a rare sight in his lifetime. To drink it all in one gulp would be a waste.
He had to savor it slowly, taking small sips to fully appreciate the taste.
Slurp~ Ah!
"Chief Duruluf, how does this wine taste? Tell us all!"
Seeing Duruluf's expression of enjoyment, everyone involuntarily swallowed.
