"I...I...I..."
Wu Qiu stammered for a long time without saying a word. At this moment, Wu Xiang Feng Zai, who had been hiding, suddenly spoke up, "Oh dear, he probably didn't know how to get to the Hall of Rebirth and forgot to ask. With that pig brain, that's perfectly normal."
Wu Qiu wanted to kill him, but there were too many people around and it wasn't convenient. Besides, Wu Xiang Feng Zai was right; he really didn't know how to get to the Hall of Rebirth.
"How about...we ask them?"
Shuangxue suggested. Wuqiu nodded and then casually grabbed someone, "Excuse me, how do I get to the Hall of Rebirth?"
This was a man, quite burly, who was clearly annoyed that Wu Qiu had grabbed him. He turned his head and looked at Wu Qiu, asking, "Did someone in your family die?"
"what?"
Wu Qiu was stunned...
Was he swearing?
However, Wu Qiu shook his head and said, "No."
"So you have a terminal illness?"
The strongman spoke again. Wu Qiu shook his head again, and then the strongman shook off Wu Qiu's hand, saying, "You went to the Hall of Rebirth when you didn't go anywhere. You're sick."
The brave man left, and Wu Qiu wanted to go up and kill him, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. A real man should be magnanimous.
"I think we can ask the question differently."
Frost and Snow, unusually, stepped forward. For the first time, displaying an air of authority, she approached a frail-looking scholar and said, "Hello, we are the Rock-Clad Guards. Do you know how to get to the Hall of Rebirth?"
The scholar was taken aback upon hearing "Rock-Clad Guards," and then asked, "Don't the Rock-Clad Guards know where the Hall of Rebirth is? And you're not even dressed..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fengshan Jueyun stepped forward with a serious expression and said, "You don't need to know any of that. Just tell us the location of the Hall of Rebirth, or I'll detain you for obstructing official business!!!"
Wu Qiu shook his head. "You're too naive. With threats like that, no one with a temper would submit."
But Wu Qiu was wrong. The scholar in front of him sighed and said, "Forget it, I don't care if you are right or wrong, it's none of my business anyway. You ask me why I don't ask the head of the Hall of Rebirth."
As he spoke, he pointed in a direction that led to the Adventurers' Guild. However, this wasn't just a simple pavilion with a Catherine standing inside.
This is a large building, bustling with people coming and going. At the main entrance, a figure is being pushed out by staff members inside.
It was a girl, and she was resisting being pushed. While jumping around, she shouted, "Hey! Think about it again! We have a special offer now, buy one get one free and a free deluxe coffin lid!"
Wu Qiu exclaimed, "Holy crap! Isn't that a walnut?!"
Chapter 191: I'm Breaking Down
Wu Qiu stared blankly at the girl who had been kicked out, then without hesitation, he pulled Shuangxue and Fengshan Jueyun up.
On the other hand, after being turned away, Hu Tao wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, she turned around, still smiling, and muttered, "Was the discount not good enough? Should we change it?"
Wu Qiu overheard this. His face darkened; he thought to himself, "This girl is really thick-skinned. Is this about a discount?"
As Wu Qiu stepped forward, about to speak, Hu Tao noticed them first. Her large eyes flashed, a small star shining in her pupils, and she spoke first, "Hey, three customers, what kind of service do you need?"
"customer?"
Wu Qiu was taken aback. Hu Tao circled around the three of them, one hand behind her back and the other waving as she spoke, "I see your faces are sallow and your foreheads are dark; you're about to suffer a bloody disaster."
Wu Qiu was stunned. This was the first time he had ever met someone who was saying that others were doomed. Although Wu Qiu knew a little about Hu Tao, he didn't know much, since he hadn't drawn it in his previous life.
"How about it! How about a funeral package from Wangshengtang? Buy one get one free right now, plus a free coffin lid!"
As she spoke, Hu Tao picked up a piece of paper, pointed to the words "Buy one get one free coffin lid" on it, and looked at Wu Qiu with a tempting expression.
It has to be said that Hu Tao is really beautiful. Both her clothes and appearance are just like in the game, only more realistic and perfect.
If it weren't for the fact that Hu Tao's outfit somewhat detracted from her beauty, or if she had dressed better, she would undoubtedly be a stunning beauty, the kind of woman who could make any traveler spend all their savings.
But now, looking at Hu Tao, who was patiently trying to coax Wu Qiu into strangling him and quickly serving customers, Wu Qiu felt a chill run down his spine.
"No need, I'm a good man. I help old ladies cross the street every day. I'm a really good man. No one can harm me."
Walnut didn't give up. She turned around, took a step back, put her hands on her hips, and said in a lecturing tone, "No, no, you look like adventurers who wander outside. What a dangerous profession! If you died outside, your corpses would be pecked by eagles and chewed by dogs."
He patted his chest, which was as flat as an airport runway, and said, "At this time, you can customize a funeral package from our Funeral Hall. No matter where you are, you don't have to worry about your body being left to rot in the wilderness."
“Eh…………………………”
Wu Qiufeng, Shan Jueyun, and Shuangxue all stared at Hu Tao with bewildered expressions. Finally, Shan Jueyun couldn't help but whisper, "Hey, are you sure she's the head of the Rebirth Hall? I have a feeling there's something wrong with her."
He pointed to his head as he spoke.
Wu Qiu was taken aback and quickly stopped him, "Hey! Be careful what you say. You might be condemned by everyone in the later story because of this sentence, which would force the author to kill you off."
"Oh my god! Is it that serious?" Fengshan Jueyun exclaimed in surprise. Wu Qiu nodded, "Of course, after all, her popularity is second only to Keli, comparable to Gan Yu..."
"Ahem!" Wu Qiu coughed and looked at Hu Tao, who was looking at him expectantly, and said, "We don't need a funeral, nothing will happen, and there won't be any bloodshed."
"That……"
Hu Tao was about to speak when Wu Qiu quickly stopped her, "Hey, hey, wait a minute, we're from the Yanyi Guard. We're here to see someone from your Wangsheng Hall."
Upon hearing that it was the Rock Guard, Hu Tao's eyes lit up even more. "Hey! I've always wanted to cooperate with you. You have to prepare to protect Liyue every day, and you might just die one day. So you should definitely have a funeral package customized for you."
"So, where is your captain? I went there last time but couldn't find him and was kicked out. Could you...?"
Wu Qiu thought that bringing up the Rock Guard would make Hu Tao listen to him, but little did he know that he had stirred up a hornet's nest, and Hu Tao was even more enthusiastic about what he was saying.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop!!!!!"
Wu Qiu finally managed to get Hu Tao to stop after a lot of effort. Then Wu Qiu quickly asked, "Where's Zhongli? That guest elder from your Rebirth Hall, I need to see him."
Hu Tao thought for a moment and said, "Zhong Li, you don't need to go to him. I can handle all the business. Just tell me. How about this? You can order now, and I'll send you two wreaths as a gift."
"My God!" Wu Qiu was going crazy and turned to leave.
"Hey! Don't go!"
Hu Tao stopped Wu Qiu, saying, "How about this, the price is negotiable, I'll give you a 10% discount."
"No need, no need."
Wu Qiu waved his hand and pulled Shuangxue and Fengshan Jueyun to leave. Hu Tao stopped them again, "20% off! Buy one get one free, plus a coffin lid and two wreaths, how about it, think it over."
"No, no."
Wu Qiu was about to leave when Hu Tao stopped him again. "Alright! Since that's the case, then buy one and get two free, which is perfect for three people. Plus a coffin lid and wreaths, all at a 40% discount!"
"No need, no need."
“Yes, we need to.” Hu Tao tugged at Wu Qiu. “Look at your skin, it’s all rough. You never know when you might die. It’s better to take precautions early for peace of mind.”
A few minutes later……………………………………………
"Big sister~"
Wu Qiu suddenly knelt down, grabbed Hu Tao's leg, and cried, "Big sister~ Big sister, I was wrong, big sister, please let me go~ I'll never bother you again."
Wu Qiu cried so miserably. Wu Xiang Feng Zai transformed into a wind crystal butterfly and flew onto Shuang Xue's shoulder, watching this comical scene with Shuang Xue and Feng Shan Jue Yun.
Hu Tao was still saying, "Don't cry, don't be so moved. Don't worry, there will be a mourning troupe."
"I never thought anyone could defeat Wu Qiu with words. And to actually break down Wu Qiu's thick skin with words, that's an honor in itself."
Wu Xiang Feng Zai sighed. Feng Shan Jue Yun also nodded, "Truly a divine person, and this girl is too lively. Even with Wu Qiu like this, she can still sell things? I strongly suspect that the customers of Wang Sheng Tang are all named by her."
Shuangxue asked timidly, "Brother Qiu, is he alright?"
Feng Shan Jueyun waved his hand, "Don't worry, this guy has a strong mental fortitude. At most, he'll have a mental breakdown. But if it were me, I would definitely call out that number two, and we could take turns carrying him. We'll get through it eventually."
Chapter 192: The Hall of Rebirth
Wu Qiu was kneeling there, crying so pitifully. Hu Tao was still trying to comfort her, saying things like, "Don't cry, don't be so moved."
As darkness fell, the last rays of the setting sun cast a long, thin shadow on Wu Qiu. It's worth noting that Wu Qiu and his companions met Hu Tao around noon…
Just think about it, Hu Tao tormented Wu Qiu for an entire afternoon. Wu Qiu ran away countless times, but it was no use. Hu Tao's level was 54, and among the humans Wu Qiu had met, only Diluc could compare to that level.
"Um, ma'am, may I say a few words?"
Finally, Fengshan Jueyun stepped forward and spoke. Hu Tao, perhaps tired, coughed and said, "Of course, if you need any additional services, just let me know, and I'll give you a discount."
"Hey, please let us off the hook. It's not that we don't want to buy, it's that we don't have the money. No matter how much of a discount you offer, it won't help."
Feng Shan Jueyun spoke up. Wu Qiu immediately jumped up, "That's right! We have no money! Not a single penny. Let alone a 60% discount, we can't even afford a 10% discount."
That sentence worked. Hu Tao raised her hand to her chin and thought for a while. "No money... then there's nothing I can do."
He patted Wu Qiu on the shoulder and said, "I think you're quite pleasing to the eye. If you ever have money, you can come to me, and we'll still charge you the same price we just agreed on."
Wu Qiu nodded hurriedly, then turned to run away, shouting, "Damn it, I'm finally free! I'm free!"
But before they had taken more than a few steps, Fengshan Jueyun grabbed Wu Qiu and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Stop talking nonsense and run! We were barely saved."
Fengshan Jueyun shook his head, speechless. "Why are you running? She's already given up. Why don't you take this opportunity to ask her where the person you're looking for is?"
Wu Qiu realized what had happened and slapped his forehead, "Oh, oh, oh, I forgot, I forgot."
Then, turning back to look at the disappointed Hu Tao, she said, "Um, big sister, I have a question for you. Does your Rebirth Hall have a guest elder named Zhongli?"
Hu Tao paused for a moment, then spoke up, "You mean him? Of course, that guy's pretty strange. He seems to know everything but also seems to care about nothing. He's a complete old fogey. I can't figure him out. So, do you need something from him?"
Wu Qiu clapped her hands. "That's right, you can't see through him! Big sister, can you take us to find him?"
Hu Tao shook her head. "I don't know where that guy is, and I rarely see him. But if you're willing to do me a favor, I don't recommend using your status as the head of the Rebirth Hall to call him back."
Wu Qiu, Feng Shan Jue Yun, and Shuang Xue exchanged glances, then all looked at Hu Tao. "You're not going to make us help you solicit customers, are you?"
Hu Tao shook her head. "Of course not, this matter is also related to you. Aren't you the Rock Guard? Yesterday, we lost a corpse in the Hall of Rebirth. You should know about this."
"I need to find that body tonight, but I can't do it alone, so I need help."
Wu Qiu suddenly realized that Hu Tao wouldn't let the corpse thief get away with it. Now that he thought about it, it seemed they had accepted this mission, and now they had come full circle.
“Alright.” Wu Qiu nodded, but then added, “However, I need your Rebirth Hall to provide a place to stay. My friend is rather frail, so it would be better if she didn’t come along.”
As he spoke, Wu Qiu looked at Shuang Xue. Shuang Xue grabbed Wu Qiu's arm and shook her head violently, "No, I want to stay with Brother Qiu."
Wu Qiu was about to offer some advice when Hu Tao spoke up first, "Such a brave little sister! She's worthy of being a great hero of Mondstadt."
With that, he turned and left, leaving Wu Qiu and the others completely bewildered.
"Wait...have we been exposed?"
Wu Qiu spoke. Feng Shan Jueyun nodded, "It seems so. Although this hall master seems unreliable, he is definitely not a simple person."
