After cosplaying as Prince of Water, I traveled to Teyvat

Chapter 96: Day 4 of Wandering in Liyue

Liyue broke away from the divine rule. Although there were many problems at the beginning, the promotion of the Seven Stars has always been reviewed by the Geo Emperor himself at the last stage. Although he played a fake death this year, the talents of the Seven Stars this year are reassuring.

Today's Liyue Harbor is still the prosperous and wealthy Liyue with developed business. Due to taking over a large number of official duties of the former emperor, there is a shortage of staff. The General Affairs Department has to recruit talented people again, and the daily busyness never stops.

The Hall of the Dead was as deserted as ever. The only lively presence was this year's head of the Hall, the young girl Walnut. She was a lively girl, and even though she was in the funeral business, she always liked to have some fun besides doing her job of sending people to the afterlife.

It's just that her energy is a little too strong, which causes people who are not good at dealing with her to become mentally exhausted easily, such as Zhongli, and perhaps the Qianyan Army guy who comes to teach her for the Nth time not to disturb others.

"Come and see, come and buy. Today is a big sale at Wangsheng Hall. Buy one stele and get one free. The hall owner is paying out of his own pocket to give back to old customers~"

Since he was forbidden to go to public places such as Yujingtai, the General Affairs Department and the port to solicit customers, Hu Tao could only sit listlessly at the door of Wangsheng Hall and shout slogans, but it was obvious that the effect was not satisfactory.

Ordinary people would quicken their pace and leave when passing by the entrance of the Hall of the Dead. How many of them would stop and listen to her carefully?

"Ah - it's not easy to support a family, Walnut sighed."

"Why is Master Hu sighing?"

Zhongli came out of the door and saw Hu Tao sitting on the doorstep at a glance. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, it was rare to see the hall master looking so listless.

"Guest official..."

Hu Tao glanced at her guest official with a tall and graceful figure, then turned her head away in pain.

What's the point of being pretty? You can only spend but not earn. With such a big Mora-eating man, it's really hard for a teenage girl like her to shoulder the burden of supporting the family.

She began to miss the sucker from the Northland Bank again. When Tartaglia was there, he almost covered all of Zhongli's food, clothing and other necessities. That period was the time when the Wangsheng Hall had the most abundant finances.

Although Zhongli would occasionally accept consultations from others and bring back consulting fees, he might just earn 10 Mora from an antique dealer, and then turn around and spend 100 Mora on something he liked.

Hu Tao had long given up expecting his guest to have any idea of ​​saving money and increasing revenue. In his eyes, Mora might not be as worthy of attention as the tea he drank every day.

Seeing Hu Tao's eyes, Zhongli instantly understood her thoughts, but could only smile silently.

When he first created Mora, he had never thought that coins made of this material would become the common currency of the seven countries of Teyvat. To him, Mora did not represent the [value] of all things, but was just a tool for people to use.

"Are you going out today?"

Hu Tao turned around and looked at Zhong Li again. It was not the time for Zhong Li to go out to listen to opera or drink tea. Was he planning to go out to buy something again? Hu Tao was alert.jpg

"That's not the case, but..."

"Mr. Zhongli, Master Hutao, long time no see."

There was only a short distance from Guiliyuan to Liyue Harbor. Since the Thousand Rock Army was always there to investigate the flow of outsiders into Liyue Harbor, Shui Qingli used normal methods to enter directly through the gate.

"Oh my, isn't this Mr. Qingli whom I met last time?"

It was rare for a stranger to come to the Wangsheng Hall. Although it was not a first-time visitor, Hu Tao still greeted him warmly.

"Mr. Qingli, you haven't been to Liyue for a long time. Did you go out on an adventure? Exploration is dangerous and complicated. You can't be sure that something unexpected will happen one day. Mr. Qingli, would you like to customize a high-quality coffin? The coffin makers in my Wangsheng Hall have superb skills and can meet all the needs of customers. If you buy now, I can give you half price~"

Shui Qingli: ...

Zhongli:……

Zhongli shook his head helplessly and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Shui Qingli in a state of thinking.

"Well...it's not impossible to consider."

Hu Tao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"However, I prefer water burial. The coffin should be made of crystal, which looks better. And it can be placed in water to ensure that it will not deteriorate or rot for thousands of years. If I fall into a deep sleep, I won't be soaked in water for thousands of years."

The light that had just come on was instantly half extinguished.

"But the crystal coffin is not breathable. If there is a smell, it will be very uncomfortable. The coffin made of wood should be more breathable, but it is easy to rot. It would be better if there is a material that can achieve both."

The other half was also destroyed.

"You can't be careless when carving the shape. Ordinary coffins are too boring. If you can carve some exotic flowers, mountains, rivers, and even rare animals on the coffin lid, it will look very beautiful. It will be even better if you can dye it with a color that won't fade."

"Master Hu, can you meet these requirements?"

The light in Hu Tao's eyes completely disappeared. At this moment, she looked like Party B who was being made demands by Party A. She looked at Shui Qingli with a look that said, "Don't be unreasonable."

"Uh...Guest, I suddenly remembered that Xiangling asked me to taste the food, so I'll leave first. You should entertain the guest."

Hu Tao stood up and said sternly, then rushed out in three or two steps and shouted something from ten steps away.

"I'm not coming back for dinner tonight, no need to wait for me!"

“Pfft—haha.”

Only after Hu Tao's figure completely disappeared from his sight did Shui Qingli finally unable to hold back and burst out laughing.

Zhongli looked at him with a smile, his eyes were slightly reproachful but mostly full of smiles.

"Mischievous. Hall Master Hu is just a little more lively. Why do you have to tease her like that?"

What's more, the reason why Hutao became addicted to sales was also because Zhongli always kept accounts in Wangsheng Hall, so he always indulged Hutao like a child.

"It was just a joke. Kurumi must have understood that. She just ran away because she felt embarrassed."

Shui Qingli explained.

"Sir, I just came back from Wangshu Inn. You should know what Xiao has done recently. Why don't you stop him?"

He didn't believe that anything in Liyue could be hidden from the Geo King.

"Xiao has a stubborn personality. I knew that from the day I gave him the name."

Zhongli nodded. He also felt helpless, but he couldn't force the child.

"Even when his karma was on the verge of losing control, he never gave up his duty. This was his belief. How could I control him because of it? Now that I have your help, it is much better than before."

Even the Geo King has things he cannot do. In the past, the most he could do was make a few doses of Lianli Zhenxin Powder for Xiao in case of emergency. Now, he can't do anything else to prevent the child from thinking too much.

"I see."

Shui Qingli also nodded to show that he understood, and the two of them tacitly did not mention anything about the abyss.
