If you did not decline Todd Riordan's proposal, he quickly leaves to prepare for his escape from the Xianzhou Luofu after committing “Immortality Theft.” He'll then contact you after another server reset.
2
After receiving a message from Todd, head back to Central Starskiff Haven and interact with the child at Todd's usual spot. You'll soon realize that the child is actually Todd.
3 With Todd not achieving immortality and his body de-aging rapidly instead, he asks you to accompany him around the market and have some fun with him one last time.
4
Follow Todd to the Food Stall behind the Starwatcher Avenue space anchor and then buy him a Berrypheasant Skewer. You'll then be prompted by the game to give a snack called Todd's Snack instead.
5
Next up, you'll be teleported with Todd to the Exalting Sanctum where he'll have a short conversation with Bailu.

Todd's final request is to come with him to the Scalegorge Waterscape coast, located to the right of the Dragonvista Rain Hall space anchor. The quest ends with Todd sitting on the coast alone after your chat with him.

After Todd flees, you must report him to Dahao in the Realm-Keeping Commission Chancery at the Exalting Sanctum.

At the end of the quest, you need to talk to Blade before you talk to Todd. Blade will despawn after you speak with Todd.
