Chapter 118 Mona's Divination Results

In the Hall of Rebirth, Hu Tao, who had just returned from Wuwang Slope, had no idea what had happened in Yujingtai. When he was chewing the Mora meat in his hand, Mona walked in from outside carrying a strange instrument.

"Mona, be careful."

Seeing Mona, with her tiny arms and legs, carrying a huge instrument, Hu Tao threw away the Mora meat in his hand and helped Mona carry the instrument. After placing the instrument in a corner of the Hall of Rebirth, Mona wiped the sweat from her forehead and relaxed.

Worried that the instrument might get bumped along the way, Mona was so careful when moving it that she even had to avoid cats and dogs. Thinking of this, Mona felt that she should write a letter to the manufacturer of the instrument to complain about their deliveryman. How could they just deliver things to the dock and leave? She paid in full for the instrument, so why couldn't they have it delivered to her door?

The more Mona thought about it, the angrier she became. She was exhausted from the journey. She had planned to have breakfast at Wanmin Hall after signing for the equipment, but now she didn't even need to have breakfast because she was so angry.

"Mona, what is the function of this instrument of yours? There are so many stars on it."

A few days ago, Mona took an advance on her salary and said she wanted to buy an astrological instrument. Walnut agreed readily. Now it seems that it was this instrument that emptied Mona's family fortune.

Hu Tao curiously walked around the astrological instrument that Mona had bought. To an outsider like Hu Tao, this instrument actually looked very similar to the public alchemy table in Liyue Harbor, except that there were a few more star patterns on it.

"This, this is the latest astrological instrument. It can assist my astrology and make it more accurate."

“Wow, this is amazing!”

Previously, Hu Tao had always wanted to take Mona for a walk around Liyue Harbor, asking Mona to help her see if there were any customers who needed to order the Hall of Rebirth package. However, because Mona had to deal with the meteor incident a few days ago, she had been delayed. Now, when she heard Mona talking about astrology, Hu Tao's plum blossom pupils sparkled. She was quite interested in divination.

I remember that when she was a child, she met a fortune teller while shopping with her grandfather. The fortune teller said that she would be a petite and cute beauty when she grew up. She was quite happy to hear that at the time, because didn’t it mean that she would be very cute in the future? But her grandfather didn’t seem very happy. After paying the deposit, he took her away.

Now thinking about her own figure, Hu Tao finally understood why her grandfather was unhappy. Which grandfather would like to hear that his granddaughter will still be petite and cute when she grows up? That would be pure curse.

"Of course, Kurumi, why don't you try my water divination technique? I can help you with the divination."

Remembering that she had never told fortunes for Walnut before, and a new instrument had arrived today, Mona wanted to try it out right away, so she turned her eyes to Walnut who was eager to try.

"Hey, Mona, can you predict marriage?"

When Mona heard Hu Tao asking for fortune-telling for marriage just like Xiang Ling did, she shook her head hurriedly. She had noticed these days that her boss Hu Tao liked Ruo Jin as much as Xiang Ling did, and the objects of the fortune-telling might very well be her and Ruo Jin. Thinking of the abnormalities when she fortune-told Ruo Jin, Mona didn't want to send the new instrument back to the merchant for repair on the first day.

"As long as it doesn't involve anything forbidden, it should be fine."

"That's it~"

Hu Tao blinked with some disappointment. Apart from her marriage with Ruo Jin, she didn't seem to want to predict anything. While thinking, she accidentally glanced at the half-eaten Mora meat on the table. Hu Tao remembered that she seemed to have not yet dealt with a bill sent from Liuliting to Wangshengtang yesterday morning.

She, the head of Hutao Wangsheng Hall, ate Mora meat in the morning. That guy Zhongli actually had a big meal at Liuli Pavilion yesterday morning. It was so abominable. If Wangsheng Hall continues to be squandered like this, it will go bankrupt sooner or later. Wait, she knew what to divine.

"Mona, can you help me predict when a big business will come?" "Yeah, big business? Okay, I'll predict for you."

I didn't expect Walnut to do such a thing. Mona was stunned for a moment, then she went to the instrument and started using her water divination. The water disk condensed by water elements kept rotating on the instrument. As she kept reading the results, Mona's face became strange.

"Whatever happens, when will the big business come to you?"

Seeing Mona stop, Hu Tao hurriedly came up to Mona and asked. Mona first glanced at the gate of the Hall of Rebirth, and then answered with a strange look on her face.

"Hu Tao, according to the divination results, a big business will come to you soon, but after the big business, you will suffer a big loss..."

As soon as she finished speaking, before Hu Tao could figure out whether it was a fire in the Wangsheng Hall or a flood that caused her to lose a fortune, the door of the Wangsheng Hall was forcefully pushed open, and the ferrywoman guarding the door was unable to stop the intruder.

"Xiaoyu? Why is it you? Are you going to order coffins for those prisoners sentenced to death?"

Seeing that the person who came was Xiaoyu, who was in charge of logistics, Hu Tao ignored the resentful look of the ferrywoman at the door of the Hall of Rebirth, and pulled Xiaoyu to pour tea for her.

Seeing that Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, didn't care at all about why the Wangsheng Hall would suffer a huge loss in the near future, Mona put down the instrument and stopped divination. At this time, Mona did not realize what she had missed.

"Hu, Hall Master Hu, I'm not here to order a coffin. You, you need to prepare it. The emperor has passed away. The Seven Stars ordered that the Hall of Rebirth should prepare a ceremony to send the emperor off to the immortal world."

Xiaoyu gasped for breath and said something that shocked everyone in the Hall of Rebirth. Old Meng, who was busy in the hall, scratched his ears, thinking that he must have heard it wrong due to his old age. The ferrywoman's resentful eyes became dull before she even withdrew them. Even the wizard's hat on Mona's head fell to the ground without Mona noticing.

"What??? The old Emperor is gone??? What about the immortal senior in Ajin's head?? When I have a child in the future, I want the child to worship the immortal senior as a teacher and let him take care of the child."

At first, Hu Tao felt a little disappointed when she heard that she was not here to order a coffin. However, when she heard that the Rock King had passed away, Hu Tao could no longer hold back. This disrupted all her future plans.

She was thinking that after she had a child, she would entrust the child to the immortal who had regained his freedom, and then she and Ruojin would travel around the continent of Teyvat. Anyway, with Zhongli in the Hall of Rebirth, there wouldn't be any trouble. But now, her plan has completely gone wrong.
Zhongli, who had just walked to the door of the Hall of Rebirth but had not yet entered, paused for a moment when he heard Hu Tao's words. She was worthy of being the one to come up with the idea of ​​letting Ruotu take care of the child. Hu Tao was the little girl that he could not handle. Thinking of Ruotu's rock dragon lizard brothers who used to roll in the mud all day, Zhongli, who already had a picture in his mind, felt worried.

Those rock dragon lizards are already enough of a headache. If there is a child raised by the rock dragon lizards and Ruota, Zhongli is worried that this child will get so angry that he will lead the rock dragon lizards to run wild in other countries.

Everyone in the Hall of the Rebirth was so shocked by Hu Tao's words that they didn't know what to say. Mona, the innocent girl, blushed at the sound of Hu Tao's lewd words. Having a baby was just too far away for her.

"Mona, why are you blushing? When I have a child in the future, I will let the child recognize you as the godmother. Ying will not be able to escape then. It's no problem for the child to have more godmothers. With more godparents, he will be able to walk around Teyvat when he grows up."

Hu Tao leaned close to Mona's face and smiled, then told her what she had thought of a long time ago. Ever since she read the light novel "All Watts Are My Godparents" that she brought back from Ying'er, the plot of the light novel combined with Hu Tao's wonderful ideas made Hu Tao have a lot of plans for her and Ruo Jin's future children.

As for becoming a godmother before getting married, Mona did not feel reluctant as she had expected. Instead, she was looking forward to it. After she fought with the heir of the great knowledge in Mondstadt and won the things back to the old woman, she also wanted to settle down in Liyue Harbor for a while, which would be a good time for her to accompany Hu Tao's children.
