The daily life of a sickly girl in Liyue Port

In the Pure Land of Dark Night, Hu Tao told Ying and the others about her experience, but Ying and the others were also confused by it.

The way they entered the dream was completely different from Qianxue and Hu Tao, and there was no explanation for it.

"If Qianxue came in with Hu Tao, then Qianxue should be somewhere now. Let's keep going. If we are lucky, we might be able to meet Qianxue." Paimon suggested.

"That's all it can do now."

………………

On the other side, Qianxue and Hu Tao walked into the stone gate, and there were groups of monsters inside. After Qianxue successfully dealt with them, there was a talisman printed on the stone. She needed to stand in a specific position to align her sight with the two halves of the talisman in different positions.

After the talismans in their sight were aligned and combined, a stone door on one side of the stone chamber opened. Qianxue and Hu Tao looked at each other and then entered, continuing to go deeper inside.

I don't know how much time I spent here. After traveling through the secret realm, I finally arrived at the entrance to the border. Qianxue and Hu Tao walked into the border together. The view inside was wide and the sun was bright, so it was hard to tell that it was the border between life and death.

In the center, there is a giant tree winding its way, and its bright golden leaves sparkle in the sunlight. The surrounding buildings are dilapidated, giving off a sense of the passage of time.

After entering, Qianxue and Hu Tao looked around. There were many ghosts with unfulfilled wishes here. When they saw living people coming, they looked at them from afar curiously and did not approach them.

“Is this the boundary between life and death?”

This was Qianxue's first time here. It was not as gloomy as she had imagined. It was similar to the game, except more spacious. Wherever the souls came and went, they were densely packed with the souls of the dead.

"That should be the case. So many of the dead souls have unfulfilled wishes and are unwilling to pass on to the afterlife."

I should be able to wait for grandpa here, right?

Hu Tao thought that this was the place where all the souls of the dead went to the afterlife, so she traveled non-stop for two days just to make sure she wouldn't miss her grandfather's soul.

"Are you here looking for someone?"

Hearing this, Hu Tao's body stiffened and she nodded slightly. She would know it sooner or later anyway, so she might as well admit it now.

"Well, I want to meet my grandfather's ghost here."

"Hu Tao is from the Wangsheng Hall, right? It is said that all the past Wangsheng Hall masters passed away without regrets. Perhaps...Hu Tao's grandfather will not stay here."

Qianxue touched her chin and looked around. There were many ghosts looking at them, but not a single one was willing to come over. Are they afraid of strangers?

“…I don’t believe it. There are countless dead souls coming and going here. Grandpa must be one of them.”

Hu Tao found a place to sit down and rest, staring at the place where the dead souls came and went, hoping to see a familiar figure. Seeing this, Qian Xue sat down with Hu Tao.

"What are you doing? Don't you have something else to do here?"

She didn't believe that Qianxue was just accompanying her, she must have her own reasons.

"I said before that I was here to accompany Hu Tao, so of course it's true. Since Hu Tao wants to wait, then I will accompany Hu Tao." Qian Xue smiled and said, looking at Hu Tao.

"It's up to you."

Hu Tao was originally a lively person, but after her grandfather passed away, the responsibility of taking care of the afterlife fell on her. Before she got over the sadness of her grandfather's death, she felt a sense of blockage in her heart.

She rode non-stop for two days from Liyue Harbor just to see her grandfather one last time before he left her forever.

Hu Tao and Qian Xue waited here for a whole day, until Hu Tao was so sleepy that he fell asleep, and he leaned on Qian Xue's shoulder and fell asleep.

Feeling the weight on her shoulders, Qianxue glanced sideways at Hu Tao, sighed slightly, and silently looked at the place where the dead souls came and went. Among the countless dead souls, there was no soul similar to Grandpa Hu Tao.

The masters of the Wangsheng Hall in all generations would never linger here. The Hu family has always lived and died honestly from generation to generation.

When Hu Tao woke up, it was already late at night and the dew was heavy. Only a few lonely ghosts surrounded the two of them. When they saw Hu Tao wake up, they clapped and laughed.

At this time Qianxue's face was slightly pale. It was so cold and gloomy here at night, and there were ghosts accompanying her. It was a great fear for Qianxue. Hu Tao's waking up made Qianxue breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hahaha, stupid, stupid, Mr. Hu will never linger here."

"Silly girl, silly girl."

When Hu Tao woke up, the ghosts made fun of her, saying that her grandfather would not appear here. Hu Tao did not believe the ghosts' words and she must wait here for her grandfather.

"You don't have to stay with me all the time. The border is always a place of exclusion for strangers. I can just wait here by myself."

"Well, I'll tell Hu Tao the truth... Actually, I'm homeless. I'm with Hu Tao now because I want to wait for Hu Tao to take me in when she returns to Liyue Harbor. I have a purpose."

Qianxue sighed, and the loneliness and confusion about the future in her eyes were fully expressed, just like a fallen leaf with nowhere to go.

"...Okay, you have a good image, so maybe the effect will be good if you follow me to promote it."

Hu Tao stroked her chin and observed Qianxue carefully. In terms of appearance alone, she had no rivals in Liyue Harbor. When the time came, letting Qianxue promote Wangsheng Hall would surely have a good effect.

Thinking of this, Walnut nodded with satisfaction.

"Hehe, yeah, I can't guarantee anything else, but a cute girl like me and the cute Walnut, let's go together, hehe~"

Qianxue smiled, and what she said made Hu Tao feel much better. She looked at Qianxue's slightly pale face.

"It's quite cold here at night, maybe the two of us can keep each other warm."

"Yeah, what Kurumi said makes sense."

After saying that, Qianxue hugged Hu Tao in her arms. Hu Tao was hugged by Qianxue and curled up in Qianxue's arms. Hu Tao widened her eyes slightly.

"That's good. It's indeed much warmer to hug Walnut."

Hearing this, Hu Tao opened her mouth without saying anything, and took out dry food and water for Qianxue. It would be a shame to go without food for a day, and Qianxue still hadn't eaten yet after she had rested.

The night was as dark as ink. At the border, Qianxue leaned against the wall with Hu Tao in her arms. In front of her was the place where the souls of the dead lingered.

"Is Qianxue from Liyue? Why is she displaced?"

Qianxue's dress is no different from that of the people of Liyue, but this place is sparsely populated and no one would come here except her.

"It's a long story." Qianxue pretended to be serious.

"Then let's make a long story short."

"Well... I simply didn't have Mora, and couldn't rent a place to live, so I wandered around and accidentally ended up in a secret place, and then I met you, the boss."

"Really? Even though there are many loopholes, I still believe in you."

Hu Tao raised her head and her hair touched Qianxue's chin. The itchy feeling spread from the chin to the whole body, making Qianxue couldn't help but smile.

"thank you boss."

"Don't call me boss, it sounds weird. Qianxue has the divine eye, and joining the Adventurer's Association shouldn't lead her to this state, right?"

Seeing how powerful Qianxue was in dealing with monsters, she would not end up wandering the streets just by doing some commissions to clean up monsters at the Adventurer's Association.

"That's a good idea, but I want to be with Walnut, is that not okay?"

"Sure. Oh, by the way, we have a guest in the Wangsheng Hall. If Qianxue has any questions, she can ask him."

"Yes, I see. I am the secretary of Master Hu."

“…Qianxue, as long as you are happy.”

While chatting, Hu Tao fell asleep again. After running around for two days without rest, Hu Tao was already exhausted both physically and mentally. Now that Qianxue was by his side, the fatigue surged over him like a tide.

After Hu Tao fell asleep, Qian Xue soon felt tired as well. She hugged Hu Tao tightly in her arms and fell asleep against the wall.

The two waited at the border day after day. They didn't know how many days had passed. The dry food that Hu Tao brought was decreasing day by day, and the drinking water was almost gone, but grandpa never showed up.

"grandfather…"

"Alas, the masters of the Wangsheng Hall in the past lived and died frankly, without any regrets in their hearts. They would not linger here, and perhaps they have already gone to the place where they should be." Seeing Hu Tao's lost look, Qianxue touched Hu Tao's head and comforted him.

Hearing this, Hu Tao lowered her eyes in a daze. Qian Xue quietly waited for Hu Tao to figure it out. Hu Tao was smart and would definitely not get stuck in a dead end here.

"Yes, Grandpa lived an upright life and left no regrets. I shouldn't regard Grandpa's departure as a regret. Thank you Qianxue. I think Grandpa would not want to see me like this."

Thinking of his grandfather's life, Hu Tao had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Yeah, yes, but waiting here is also a relief."

Hu Tao smiled and prepared to start her journey home with Qian Xue.

"Well, in that case, follow me back to the Hall of Rebirth."

"Just think it through, Kurumi."

Qianxue and Hu Tao stood up and prepared to go back with Hu Tao. Qianxue wanted to see if she could get out of the secret realm, and Hu Tao, who entered the dream with her, should have been teleported to another dream.

After Qianxue and Kurumi left, a short ghost sighed.

"This stubbornness really makes him look like Old Man Hu. Fortunately, he has a companion to keep him company."

With the experience of coming in before, Qianxue and Hu Tao went out quickly. The moment they walked out of the secret realm, white light emerged and all they could see was white light.

When Qianxue opened her eyes, she saw a courtyard in front of her, and Hu Tao was climbing over the wall to enter.

"Qianxue, hurry up, it will be bad if we are discovered."

"Oh, good."

It seems that the dream directly skipped the process of her returning to Liyue Harbor. It seems that the dream should not be as big as Liyue.

As Hu Tao climbed over the wall into the courtyard, Qian Xue also jumped down and followed Hu Tao to the door.

"This is my room now. When I grow up, I can move into the Hall of Rebirth. In the future, Qianxue can live here with me."

"okay."

Hu Tao led Qian Xue into the room. Qian Xue sat on the bed and packed her bag. The food and water she brought were almost gone. Just as Hu Tao was packing her bag, a glowing Eye of God appeared.

Picking up the Eye of Vulcan, Kurumi murmured softly.

"grandfather…"

When Hu Tao turned around to tell Qianxue, she saw that Qianxue, who was originally sitting on the bed, had disappeared.

The dream was shattered, and she appeared under a starry sky. She looked up, the Milky Way was vast, and in front of her was a picturesque scene, the galaxy was given shape and color.

"here it is…"

She remembered that this place seemed to be Mona’s dream. Was she actually teleported here?

She also wanted to spend more time with Hu Tao.

Qianxue sat down tiredly. Sigh, she was not even given a chance to catch her breath. She didn't know where Hu Tao and the others were now, and she didn't know how much time had passed outside.

She knew that she was not dreaming in spirit, but she was entering the dream created by an unknown force with her body. She was really tired.

After all, you won’t be able to rest well in the border area.

"so tired…"

Qianxue chose to lie down here and look at the starry sky. She had no idea what the pattern of this dream was. If the flow of time was the same, several days would have passed.

Here, the flow of time is far away from Qianxue. Occasionally, a meteor falls. Qianxue is chatting with Fucaros and asking her about dreams. Unfortunately, Fucaros doesn't know much.

Finally, when Qianxue was rolling on the ground, someone arrived. It was Hu Tao and his group. They appeared less than one meter away from Qianxue.

Qianxue, who was rolling on the galaxy, happened to roll to Hu Tao's feet. When she opened her eyes, she saw Hu Tao's indescribable look. Seeing this, Qianxue pulled Hu Tao up.

"Wow, Kurumi, you guys are finally here. I thought I was going to be trapped here to death."

After comforting Qianxue, Hu Tao asked Qianxue where she had been for the past two days, and Qianxue told Hu Tao that they had gone to Hu Tao's dream.

In response, Kurumi was very curious about what her dream was like, and Qianxue said she would tell her after returning.

"Humph, Qianxue is keeping us on suspense again!"

"Paimon is wrong. I'm not teasing Paimon. I didn't intend to tell Paimon at all."

After saying that, Qianxue grinned at Paimon, making Paimon so angry that he stomped on the air madly.

Ying and the others smiled helplessly. Wan Ye observed the surrounding environment. They were now under the starry sky and the scene in front of them was something they had never seen before. It seemed that it would take some effort to get out.

"Hahaha, it seems Qianxue has her own adventures. Well, Hu Tao's dreams. Thinking of Hu Tao immersed in Qianxue's dreams, I should say it, they are indeed a pair." Xin Yan said with a smile.

Only each other can enter their dreams and witness the secrets deep in each other's hearts.

"Hehe, it's okay, but I don't know what the rules of this dream are. It's impossible that dreams have wisdom and can select people?"

Qianxue scratched her head, she herself didn't know what was going on. The mirror and Walnut suddenly fell into a dream, and the memory of the broken dream actually entered her mind.

It was as if she had experienced it herself. Could it be the power of Nashida?

Although Nashida showed up in the end, why did she help me? Was it because she had the power of other gods in her body?

"Who knows? The power here is really strange. For example, the dream we are in now seems to be prepared for me. The knowledge required in it is all from astrology."

Mona pointed out the horoscope, and the power here always felt similar to her astrology.
