"Logically, the dead should go to the Border."

Walnut scratched his head, thought for a moment and added: "If the soul continues to stay in the mortal world, it will be scattered..."

Gui Zhong, who was standing by, also nodded in agreement. She continued Hu Tao's words and said, "Perhaps the other party still has a reason to stay in this world."

After saying that, Hu Tao tentatively reached out her hand and gently touched Xiao Jiujiu's forehead. However, her hand went straight through Xiao Jiujiu's body, as if it was touching the air.

Kurumi was not surprised, she knew that such contact was impossible for ghosts.

So, she leaned over and said to Xiao Jiujiu gently, "Hello, I am the 77th generation head of Wangsheng Hall, and I am here to help you."

Xiao Jiujiu seemed to have heard Hu Tao's voice. She slowly opened her eyes, revealing a hint of confusion and helplessness in her eyes.

"Is it the master of the Wangsheng Hall..." Xiao Jiujiu murmured to himself. There was no longer the previous gloomy and terrifying tone in his voice, but a sense of relief and peace of mind.

Xiao Jiujiu nodded slightly, with gratitude flashing in her eyes. She struggled to get up from the ground, her eyes firm and gentle.

Walnut carefully observed Xiao Jiujiu and found that she was emitting a faint light. Although it was a little weak, it gave people a feeling of warmth and hope.

Xiao Jiujiu looked at Ying and Paimeng behind Hu Tao and asked calmly, "I'm sorry, you two, I scared you earlier..."

Hearing this, Ying forced a smile towards the ghost in front of her, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed.

Paimeng hugged Ying's arm tightly, not daring to look up at Xiao Jiujiu.

"Since that day, I have been wandering in Wuwangpo. As time goes by, I feel that my memory becomes more and more blurred, and my heart becomes more and more lonely."

"I don't know when, I even forgot my name, but despite this, there is a familiar face that keeps lingering in my mind..."

Hearing this, waves of gray-white immortal power surged in Gui Zhong's palms, like silver snakes swimming in her hands.

As Gui Zhong suddenly exerted force, the immortal power surged into the hairpin like a tide.

Then, under the surprised gaze of Ying and Paimon, the hairpin gradually floated up in Hu Tao's hand, and then slowly flew to Xiao Jiujiu's side.

As the light shone on Xiao Jiujiu's transparent body, all the past scenes appeared before her eyes.

An old house, a forest, a sunset, and two figures...

At the same time, a breeze gradually started to blow around, and as the immortal power surged, dust gradually gathered in front of Jiujiu's soul and turned into a kind old man.

She was wearing simple clothes, and her face was kind and gentle, as if the years had not left many traces on her.

There was a kindness and warmth in her eyes that made people feel extremely at ease.

"Grandma!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Jiujiu cried out excitedly, her eyes blurred with tears.

She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch the familiar figure, but she couldn't.

Hu Tao looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling moved.

She stood quietly by, feeling the deep emotional bond between them.

"Grandma, I really miss you!" Xiao Jiujiu's voice was tearful, as if she wanted to pour out all the longing and grievances in her heart.

The old woman smiled, tears glistening in her eyes, and said softly, "Jiujiu, grandma is always by your side." Her voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze, making people feel endless comfort and love.

At this moment, Hu Tao couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.

This may be the fate and concern in life. Regardless of life or death, family affection will never fade.

Paimeng, who was standing by, had already burst into tears, and his heart was filled with emotion. His previous fear of Xiao Jiujiu had disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a deep touch.

"Wow... How could this happen?" Paimon sobbed, "Those damn treasure-stealing gangs, please don't let me catch them!"

Hearing this, Ying also felt sad. She gently reached out and wiped away the tears on Paimeng's face.

At the same time, her brother's figure appeared in her mind unconsciously. Seeing Xiao Jiujiu and her grandmother reunited, her mood became heavier.

"Thank you, stranger traveler, and the master of Wangsheng Hall."

"I remember this, Wuwangpo, a place full of hope and love." Xiao Jiujiu smiled, and her figure gradually became transparent.

"My name is Xiao Jiujiu..." Her voice seemed to come from a distant time and space, carrying endless tenderness and attachment.

As the two embraced each other, grandma's figure turned into dust and drifted away with the wind, and Xiao Jiujiu gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Time seemed to stand still and everything became peaceful and beautiful.

At the last moment, Xiao Jiujiu's face was filled with a happy smile. She finally returned home and found her own peace.

The wind from Wuwangpo blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. The leaves rustled, as if telling the legend of this story...

"Life and death are fleeting, and things are unpredictable. That's just how life is..." Kurumi once again made a prayer gesture and put his hat back on. "But now, the commission has been completed."

At this moment, Ying and Paimeng were still a little dazed, as if they had not yet recovered from the situation just now.

"Sister Guizhong, how did you do that just now?" Paimeng asked curiously.

"Hehe, this is a capable guest of our Wangsheng Hall. His abilities are off the charts!" Hu Tao said proudly.

"As long as it's about ghosts and gods, the guest official Guizhong is no less capable than this hall master."

"Haha, Hall Master, you are too polite." Gui Zhong said slowly.

"It's just some magic techniques passed down from our ancestors. It's nothing special."

Hearing this, Ying was somewhat shocked. She couldn't help but sigh: "May I ask if Miss Guizhong has always been so modest..."

Gui Zhong smiled slightly and replied: "I am just telling the truth. Although these techniques are somewhat magical, they are not beyond surmount."

Hu Tao nodded in agreement. "Yes, Guizhong Keqing is right. Although our business scope at Wangshengtang is mainly focused on funerals, we should also remain respectful of ghosts and gods. After all, death is not the end, but another beginning."

Paimon nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked Walnut: "So what should we do next?"

Hu Tao thought for a moment and said, "Well... since the commission has been completed, why don't we go back to Liyue Harbor together?"

"Okay, okay, let's set off quickly!" Paimeng said excitedly. After all, she didn't want to stay in this damn place any longer.
