Ying immediately agreed, her eyes brimming with excitement.
"Hahaha~ Such a little money grubber~ (^_^)"
"Heehee~ Hey! You!" Ying walked up to A San with triumphant steps.
"Wh-What? I'm telling you, three thousand Mora is impossible. Don't think you can scare me! Σ(ﾟдﾟlll)" A San looked at the little girl in front of him with some wariness.
"Mhm! Three thousand is definitely not enough, how can it be just three thousand? (^～^)"
"Oh? You know that, phew... That guy bothered me for nearly half a..."
"One thousand Mora!" Ying proudly raised her small head and said, holding up a finger.
"Hour... Huh? What did you... just say?"
"One thousand Mora! (^～^)"
"Emm... Are you serious?"
"Yes~ (^～^)"
"Little girl... Do you know what you're saying... One thousand Mora... Why don't you just say give it to you for free!"
"Really?! You're such a good person! (✪▽✪)"
"Uh... No, I don't want to be a good person."
"Eh?! Please~ Look at how pitiful I am, can you be a little cheaper (๑•́₃•̀๑)" Ying immediately put on a pitiful face, clasping her hands together at her chest in supplication.
"This?!"
So... so cute... Maybe... No, no, no! You're a man! How can you be defeated by such a little trick?! A San tried to bolster his courage internally for a long time, finally gaining a sliver of confidence.
"Even... Even if you say so... one thousand Mora is still too little... How about this, three thousand, I admit defeat, alright?"
"No, we agreed on free (*￣з￣)"
"Emm... My dear little cutie, I was just joking, alright! Hah... I'm convinced, how about two thousand five hundred?"
"No, no, five hundred!"
"No, you can't just do whatever you want because you're cute!"
"Please~ I see you're so handsome, dashing, and suave. When you walk down the street, you must be the kind of person everyone loves, flowers bloom for you, and cars have their tires burst for you. I'm sure you won't refuse the request of a pitiful little girl~"
"Wow! You! Fine, fine, two thousand! Is two thousand enough?!"
"One thousand! (๑•́₃•̀๑)"
"One thousand five hundred! This is really my final bottom line!"
"Deal! Hehe~ You said it yourself, don't go back on your word~ (^～^)"
"Wuwuwu... I hate cute little lolis (╥﹏╥)"
"I'm not a loli! Hah... Forget it, here you go~"
Ying happily took out fifteen hundred Mora and handed it to A San, then followed Zhongli and Childe to the next location, happily looking at the money pouch as they walked.
"Hehe~ I earned quite a bit for free~"
"You're drooling~"
"Hmph~ None of your business, see the difference between us now, right? (￣へ￣)"
"Ahaha~ Alright, alright, you're the best, okay?" Childe said with a helpless smile, agreeing.
"Hmph~ Good that you know, hurry up, hurry up~ I still have to keep earning Mora (^～^)"
After a long time...
"Hehe~ I spent only ten thousand of the fifty thousand Mora, I've made a fortune, made a fortune~ (✪▽✪)" Ying looked at the money pouch with glee, the more she looked, the happier she became.
"Hehehe~ You've been staring at that money pouch for a long time, are you that happy?"
"Hmph~ Someone like you who doesn't lack money can't understand my joy (￣へ￣)"
"Mhm... Speaking of which, since you're so good at bargaining, this other money pouch I have as backup funds seems useless... Hmm, I'll put it back in the Northland Bank later~ (^_^)"
"What?!! No! I won't bargain anymore, the next person I'll give them all the money on me!"
"Hahaha~ Alright, I'm just teasing you. This bag of Mora is mine to give you, consider it... a thank you gift for telling me someone's secret~"
"Hmph~ Good that you're sensible. By the way, where are we going next?"
"Idiot, you're already walking up the stairs to Bubu Pharmacy, where else could we be going?"
"Ah, this... Cough cough~ I... I was just testing you, I didn't forget... (*￣з￣)"
"Hahaha, alright, whatever the little loli says."
"I told you I'm not a loli! Believe it or not, I'll bite you!"
"I say, don't you think you lack any authority like this? Not to mention that your threat is directed at me, a Fatui Harbinger~" Childe placed his hand on Ying's head, comparing their heights in front of her.
"Aaaahhh! Zhongli is bullying me!" Ying, unable to hit Childe after trying for a long time, angrily ran to Zhongli to complain.
"Mhm, let's all calm down for a moment."
I feel like I'm taking care of two naughty children...
"Hahaha, then let's listen to Mr. Zhongli."
"Hmph!" (Damn it... Suddenly I don't want to help him anymore... I'll go play with Qiqi instead!)
Ying let out a soft hmph and quickened her pace, running in first.
"Hello~ Is Qiqi in?" As soon as she ran inside, Ying eagerly called out for Qiqi.
"Welcome... Ah... this voice is... Ying."
Hearing the familiar voice, Qiqi immediately ran out from behind the counter and hugged Ying.
"Qiqi... I missed you so much... I haven't... seen you these past few days..."
"Mhm~ I missed you too, Qiqi. A lot has happened these past few days, so I didn't have time to visit you. Are you angry with me?"
"No... I'm already... very happy that you came to see me... Before, it was always... Hu Tao who came... She didn't know where you were recently either..."
"Hu Tao, I didn't expect you two to become so close, I'm very pleased~ (^～^)"
"Hey~ Although you are also a little loli, I still want to say that loli-baiting is illegal in Liyue~"
Childe walked in from the door, looking at Ying playfully, which angered Ying into retorting.
"Pah! You're the one who's loli-baiting!"
"Oh? You only answered the question about loli-baiting just now, so can I assume that you indirectly acknowledged that you are a little loli? (^_^)"
"Oh?! Are you looking for a beating! Believe it or not, I'll have Lumine chop you up!"
"Hahaha~ I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"
"Hmph~ Good that you know (￣へ￣)"
"Mhm, you two really can't stop arguing for a moment. Seeing you like this reminds me of an old friend, although he hasn't come in a long time."
Zhongli finally walked in, perhaps because elderly legs aren't... cough cough~ never mind.
"Heehee~ Don't worry, he must be busy. I believe he'll come to find you when he's done being busy~ (^～^)"
(It's not free for him to sing me a couple of poems, so it's not right, Venti~)
"Haha... That's true. Well then, let's get down to business. Little one, may I ask if you sell Eternal Incense here?"
