The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 94 Two New Employees of Wangsheng Hall
Walnut looked around with her unique plum blossom pupils and quickly locked her sights on the timid-looking Paimon, because only Paimon looked like a child.

Could this child be Ajin's daughter? The hair color doesn't match. Hu Tao looked Paimon from head to toe. The child looked at least six or seven years old. Six or seven years ago, even if Ajin wanted to, he couldn't do anything.

The clever Hu Tao soon realized that she might have been fooled by Zhongli. Among all the girls around her, none of them seemed to have a closer relationship than her and Ruo Jin. Well, not only was she fooled by the bard from Mondstadt, but now her own employees dared to fool her, the hall master. This was simply going against the will of Heaven.

If she guessed correctly, Zhongli wanted to get rid of her and go out to play! Hu Tao, whose IQ had returned to normal, could already guess Zhongli's purpose. The guy who often kept bills in the hall all day long definitely wanted to get rid of her and sneak out.

Oh no, Zhongli really succeeded this time, Hu Tao thought to herself. Others might not know this, but Hu Tao, the head of the Wangsheng Hall, knew very well that the employees in the Wangsheng Hall treated Zhongli more respectfully than her, the head of the hall.

Even if she, as the hall master, asked the employees of the Wangsheng Hall to keep an eye on Zhongli and not let him go out, if Zhongli insisted on going out, the employees would not stop him. At most, they would just remind Zhongli to come back early.

"This hall master has been smart all his life, but he was fooled by that old scholar Zhongli."

Thinking she had guessed the truth most of the time, Hu Tao tightly grasped the Homa staff in her hand with a look of resentment on her face. When Zhongli came back, she would definitely kick Zhongli's butt hard to let him know who was the boss.

Seeing Hu Tao coming, Keqing quietly took her hand away from Ruojin's ear. At this time, Keqing had almost vented her dissatisfaction. After her mood gradually calmed down, Keqing glanced at the people around Ruojin. She had already recognized Ying, the honorary knight of the Knights of Favonius.

I can only say that they are worthy of being people who grew up together. When Keqing saw Ying for the first time, she and Ruojin had surprisingly consistent thoughts. If the intelligence had not mentioned that Ying was a person from outside the world, Keqing would have regarded her as a Mondstadt person.

The person surrounding this Honorary Knight should be the Honorary Knight's travel companion Paimon, a magical little creature. I wonder if Paimon can find one for her, so that when she works overtime in the future, she will have someone to help her with her work.

Her gaze stayed on Paimon for a few seconds, then Keqing looked at the most eye-catching girl with a magic hat. She didn't have any information about this girl. After looking around, she felt that these unfamiliar girls were not threatening at all. Keqing pulled Ruojin aside and whispered.

"A Jin, give me the thing Uncle Liu asked you to bring back. I may not be able to have dinner with you tonight. That thing is very important. I am going to hold a meeting with the other seven stars to discuss how to deal with it."

Before Ruojin arrived at Liyue Harbor, Keqing received information from Uncle Liu, which indicated that the things Ruojin brought back seemed to be related to the gods of Xumi. Regardless of whether it was true or not, as long as it involved gods, Liyue must take it seriously.

Ruojin felt that Keqing was making a big deal out of nothing. With the Lord of Geocalypse around, no matter how smart Xumi's Grass God was, he couldn't make up for the gap in martial arts between him and the Lord of Geocalypse. However, seeing his sister's serious expression, Ruojin didn't say that. After all, one of his ears was still burning with pain, and he didn't want to pursue any symmetrical beauty in this regard.

"Sister, please take some rest."

Noticing that Keqing's face was full of fatigue, Ruojin said something to Keqing with some heartache. Keqing, who was concerned about Ruojin's concern, smiled slightly and nodded.

"Okay, I get it. Have fun with your friends. I'm going to get busy now."

After putting away the canned knowledge that Ruojin gave her, Keqing said goodbye to everyone. The ceremony of inviting the immortals would be held in less than a week. She was very busy around this time every year, and having some time to spend with Ruojin for a while was already a luxury.

"Keqing is still so busy. I was thinking of inviting her to dinner."

Looking at Keqing's hurriedly departing back, Hu Tao, who had gotten to know everyone during the time when Ruo Jin was talking to Keqing, sighed regretfully. However, the regret in Hu Tao's heart was soon swept away. As long as Ruo Jin came back, there would be plenty of opportunities to treat Keqing to dinner in the future.

Hu Tao carefully looked Ruo Jin up and down. Seeing that Ruo Jin didn't look injured except for one red ear, she nodded with satisfaction. "Ah Jin, I'm glad you're back safely. You've been in Mondstadt for so long, and I don't know how to send you a letter. If you don't come back, I'm going to Mondstadt to look for you. Have you resolved your problem?"

"Haha, don't worry. I was delayed for a while in Mond due to some matters, but everything has been resolved. I even brought you an employee."

After saying that, Ruo Jin turned sideways and looked at Ying who was standing beside him. Ruo Jin had already greeted Ying in advance. On the way, she heard Ruo Jin say that Wangsheng Hall was in the funeral business. Ying said that she had been to so many worlds and as long as the salary was high, she would do anything, let alone the funeral business. If the things in the coffin ran out, she could carry them back. If the performance was not good, she would even go outside to catch the Fatui and bring them back to boost the performance.

"Ying, it's great that you can come to work in our Wangsheng Hall. We have everything we need except people. If you are accepted, the salary will be 500,000 Mora per month, including food and accommodation. You may not be able to use the employee benefits for the time being, but don't worry, this hall master will definitely leave a good box for you."

When Hu Tao first met Ying, she had a good impression of her. In addition, Ying was recommended to her by Ruo Jin, so Hu Tao simply skipped the interview and directly announced that Ying was admitted.

Originally, this was something worth being happy about, but after hearing Hu Tao's next words, the corners of Ying's mouth twitched a few times. She really wanted to ask Hu Tao if the box or something could be exchanged for Mora, because she, an "eighteen-year-old beautiful girl", definitely would not need that thing.

"Five hundred thousand Mora!"

Paimon exclaimed and followed Ying the whole time. Paimon knew very well how many dangerous commissions Ying would need to take to earn 500,000 Mora. Mona was also tempted at this time. Counting next month's royalties, she still needed about 400,000 Mora to pay the full amount for the latest astrological equipment. If she worked in the Wangsheng Hall, one month would be enough.

"Hu Tao, isn't Wangsheng Hall short of people? If Mona can accept the job at Wangsheng Hall, then let Mona work there too. It just happens that Wangsheng Hall is short of staff."

Ruojin's words made Xiangling nod her head. The treatment in Wangsheng Hall was very good and the work was easy. Compared with other jobs, as long as she didn't hate the idea that working in Wangsheng Hall was unlucky, then Wangsheng Hall was definitely a good place to go.

"Of course you can, but isn't Mona an astrologer? Will she..."

Hu Tao wholeheartedly agreed with Ruo Jin's suggestion, but she was a little worried that a little girl like Mona would not be able to stand dealing with corpses all day. When she heard Hu Tao's words implying that she could work in the Hall of the Dead, Mona immediately said yes.

"Master Hu, don't worry, I can do it."

Mona is not a newbie in the world of martial arts. She has seen corpses before. When Hu Tao heard Mona's words, a strange light flashed in her charming plum blossom eyes. If she remembered correctly, astrology should be able to tell when a person will die. Then Mona and the Hall of Rebirth are a match made in heaven.

"Hey, Mona, Wangsheng Hall welcomes you to join. Come on, I'm happy today, so I'd like to invite you to Wanmin Hall for a meal as a welcome treat for you."

Hu Tao couldn't help but laugh in her heart when she thought of Mona's abilities. Mona was absolutely perfect for the Wangsheng Hall. From now on, Mona would be responsible for predicting which family had died, and she and Ying would be responsible for going to that family at the right time to promote the Wangsheng Hall's business and carry the coffins. With such precise and thoughtful sales service, Hu Tao didn't believe that the package she had carefully launched would not sell.

It was worth it for her to cover for A Jin at the risk of being lectured by Keqing. A Jin was really reliable. Knowing that she was short-staffed in the Rebirth Hall, he went out and brought back two employees for her. Hu Tao was so satisfied.

Ruojin looked at the entrance of Liyue Harbor and took a deep breath. The unique smell of Liyue Harbor penetrated into his lungs and made him feel relaxed and happy. As the host, Ruojin turned around and said to the people behind him.

"Ying, Paimon, Mona, welcome to Liyue Harbor."
