Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
While it's very Ling Qi to stay back and yell "Hello!" I don't think that's what we need at the moment. This is really about Zhengui. It's his Dream Quest, Qi is just facilitating it. Like she facilitated for Xuan Shi.

So, I want to do what Zhengui would do and what would work for him. That's to loudly announce himself right in his Mom-Ghost's face.

While we should try talking first, I do believe it's better to get their attention. Although...
You may be heard and understood by any being you are aware of, regardless of language, cultivation, obstacles or techniques. You hear and understand any being attempting to consciously communicate with you, if you so choose.
Our domain sayswe will be heard, no matter what.
It's really a question if Kotaku is willing to talk or not.... But iirc, the turtle was the more willful/self centered one.

It does bring up the question what happened to her for the years she was dead though.
At least, those years after LQ took the core from the ever regenerating corpse.

"I, Zhen, am the one who can do this," his other half scoffed, atop his shell formed from leaf and vine and clinging liquid shadow, a chair not unlike that of his Shrine harness appeared for her to take a seat in. She lowered herself into into it as he began to back away from the edge of the island. The shadowed, ghostly memory of hexagonal clay plates began to whirl around them, immaterial without Xuan Shi here to support their existence.
Zhengui's been developing the rocket turtle movement art I see.
