My mobile game wife came knocking.

"Hey! I can't help it either."

Seemingly aware of Jeanne Alter's presence, the girl filling the hole wasn't surprised at all. She continued to diligently swing her shovel and replied without turning her head, "Now everyone uses cremation, and no one talks about the rules of traditional funerals anymore. My ancestral skills have no place to be used. I can only practice alone for a while at night to avoid getting rusty."

"Funeral?"

Hearing the girl's answer, Black Jeanne became interested: "Hey, are you a funeral director?"

"You could say that."

As she spoke, the girl had already filled the hole, and turned to look at Black Jeanne with a shovel in her hand: "What, do you have any business needs in this area? If so, feel free to contact me. I have everything you need, from keeping vigil and burial to memorial tablets and other related items. You can even get a second memorial tablet at half price."

"I do have someone I dislike."

Black Jeanne curiously examined the shovel in the girl's hand. "That guy, he clearly said not to come near me, but he still comes near me again and again, teasing me. He clearly said that I am a cursed witch, and he clearly threatened that if he dares to come near me, he will strangle him, burn him, and send him to hell, but he still dares to approach me and tease me."

“He certainly sounds like a nasty villain,” Hu Tao said indignantly. “So, should we order the full funeral service? I can personally organize that villain’s funeral.”

"He really is a despicable villain." Jeanne Alter said through gritted teeth, "That annoying guy has been shamelessly harassing me, teasing me, and deceiving my feelings. If he weren't my Master, I would have set him on fire long ago."

"But this annoying guy, after spending so much time with him, and after much difficulty accepting him and resolving to go to the ends of hell with him, he suddenly disappeared without a trace and never appeared again!"

"What? So you like him?"

The girl was somewhat disappointed after hearing what Jeanne Alter said: "I thought there would be a chance to hold another funeral."

"Who, who said I like him?"

Upon hearing the girl's words, Jeanne Alter's face flushed red, and she stammered, "I... I only accepted him because he's my Master. He... he has Command Seals that can command me. I had no choice but to accept him. That irresponsible bastard, if I can find him, I'll make him pay!"

"Why not hand him over to me? Whether he lives or dies, I can personally handle his funeral and guarantee that you two will be satisfied."

The girl suggested.

"Huh? Ah, uh, no, no need. I, I want to teach him a lesson myself and make him pay."

Jeanne Alter was startled by the girl's words and quickly retorted.

The suggestion was rejected again, and the girl who couldn't handle the funeral was disappointed, but she still took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to Jeanne Alter: "This is my business card. You can contact me if you need anything in the future. I had a great chat with you today. If you contact me in the future, I can give you a 50% discount."

Alter Jeanne curiously took the business card and glanced at it, discovering that it read—

The leader of the Hall of Rebirth: Hu Tao.

Business scope: funeral and bereavement services.

At the very bottom is the contact information.

Black Jeanne thought for a moment while holding the business card, then put it in her pocket and took out her own business card, handing it to Kurumi: "This is my business card. I had a great chat with you today, and I hope we can become friends in the future."

Hu Tao reached out and took it, then stared blankly at the words on the business card: Mond International, Head of Security Department: Jeanne Darc.

Mondstadt?

Could it be Mondstadt from Teyvat? Did they come into this world just like us?

Is she from Mondstadt?

Walnut was surprised.

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I have to go now. See you next time, bye-bye!"

Walnut waved goodbye to Black Jeanne, then shouldered her shovel and ran off, disappearing into the darkness.

We must tell Gan Yu and the others this news!

…………

"Because I heard about Mond International from Hu Tao, I had someone investigate it. I found out that Mond International is a European company whose business has extended to the mainland. The person in charge of Mond is likely someone we know."

On the way to the airport, Gan Yu sat in the back seat and explained to the company next to him, "In the past, Liyue and Mondstadt had both competition and cooperation, but now, they are more likely to be competitors. Therefore, we must set off for the mainland in advance to avoid being overtaken by Mondstadt and falling into a disadvantageous situation."

The company listened silently, looking at the plane tickets in their hands, without saying a word.

This is her plane ticket for tonight. Once she's on the plane, she'll sleep on it for the night, and the next morning she'll arrive on the mainland.

Reaching the mainland means getting one step closer to the commander.

How is the Commander doing? Is Laffey with the Commander?

Are there any other ship girls from other factions who came to this world and found a commander, just like her?

The once mighty White Eagle War God was now filled with trepidation and didn't listen to Gan Yu's words at all.

Once we reach the mainland, we can use the power of that girl named Keqing and the Liyue information network to find the Commander.

Will we be able to find the commander successfully?

A premonition told the company that this trip to mainland China might soon yield good results.

Commander, please wait a moment. Enterprise will find you!

Chapter Sixty-Three: Keqing's Business Trip, Fu Hua's Opportunity

"We're back."

With that, Ye Ming took a deep breath and went inside.

Welcome back.

In the living room, Ke Qing and Fu Hua, who were sitting on the sofa watching TV, got up almost at the same time, went to greet Ye Ming, and snatched the things from Ye Ming's hands from his left and right sides.

Following behind Ye Ming, Raffi seemed to sense danger. She quietly took a step back, blinked, and looked at Ye Ming, who was sandwiched between Ke Qing and Fu Hua, without saying a word while holding her snacks.

"These two bags are really heavy. Carrying them all the way up here is exhausting. My arms are sore."

Ye Ming seemed oblivious to the strange atmosphere. He rubbed his hands together and then, without any politeness, directed the two women.

"Keqing, one of the two bags you took contains ingredients, and the other contains the daily necessities you asked me to buy. You can put the daily necessities in the bedroom. As for the ingredients, you don't need to put them in the refrigerator; just put them in the kitchen. I'll start cooking in a bit."

Then, he instructed Fu Hua, "Since it's a rare gathering, I specially bought two bottles of red wine. I remember you drinking, Fu Hua, but is it okay to have a little tonight?"

Before Fu Hua could respond, he added, "Of course, it's okay if you don't want to drink it. I also bought some juice, so you can choose whichever you like."

The two women, each carrying a bag, exchanged a glance but did not take a step.

Ye Ming frowned and urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put the things in the kitchen. I'm going to wash my hands and then I'll go to the kitchen to cook."

After saying that, Ye Ming went into the restroom without waiting for the two women to respond.

Ye Ming lingered in the bathroom for three or four minutes before coming out. When he did, he found that Ke Qing and Fu Hua were already in the kitchen preparing the ingredients, while Lafite was lazily leaning on the sofa watching TV, holding an unopened bottle of red wine.

Ye Ming took a deep breath, went into the kitchen, and began to shoo people away.

"Go out, all of you go out and rest. We agreed that I would do it this time, so you can just rest outside."

Ye Ming grabbed the two girls' arms, one in each hand, and pushed them away, while casually saying, "There's plenty of time ahead. If either of you wants to show off your cooking skills, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Upon hearing this, Fu Hua paused, then gave Ye Ming a deep look, a look that made Ye Ming feel a little guilty.

"I asked Yae Sakura and Okita Souji, and they agreed to come over for dinner tonight. But, Yoko, are you ready?"

Fu Hua stared at Ye Ming, and said meaningfully, "It's not easy to cook for six people."

What do you mean six people? It's just the three of us, right? Oh, and there's Lafite, so that makes four people.

Ye Ming muttered to himself, then gave Fu Hua a smile: "There's nothing I can do about it. Since everyone wants to come and eat, I can't turn people away, can I? Otherwise, those who can't get a meal will go hungry. What's owed must be repaid, and what's owed must be shouldered."

"I happen to be in good health and my cooking skills are decent. Although it's tiring to cook more meals, as long as I put my heart into it, I can always make dishes that suit everyone's tastes and ensure that no one goes hungry."

"I hope so."

Fu Hua took the initiative and stepped out of the kitchen.

Ke Qing remained where she was, without moving.

"Um, Ye Ming..."

Ke Qing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ye Ming noticed Ke Qing's expression and comforted her, "Don't worry, Fu Hua is actually quite easy to get along with. You'll see as time goes on."

"No, I wanted to tell you that the company is closed tomorrow, so you don't need to go to the company. As for me, I need to take advantage of the holiday to go to headquarters, so I won't be able to accompany you for the time being."

"A holiday? What's going on? It's not a weekend or a public holiday, why would we have a holiday?" Ye Ming asked curiously.

"There might be some business adjustments coming up," Ke Qing replied. Before Ye Ming could ask further, she hugged him tightly, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, we've only just started living together, and I..."

Having said that, Ye Ming could only pat Ke Qing on the back and comfort her, "It's okay, there's still plenty of time ahead. It's just a day or two, no need to worry too much."

"Alright, since you're going on a business trip tomorrow, go out and rest. I'll cook for myself."

Ye Ming pushed Ke Qing out of the kitchen: "By the way, keep an eye on the Lafite for me, don't let her steal any wine."

"Okay," Ke Qing replied, and left the kitchen.

After the two women left, the kitchen suddenly felt much more spacious.

Ye Ming let out a soft breath, rolled up his sleeves, and began to prepare the ingredients.

Time always flies when you're working. By the time Ye Ming finished cooking all the dishes, an hour and a half had passed, and it was already dark. In the living room, Yae Sakura and a cherry-haired girl named Okita Souji had arrived at some point. The women were sitting on the sofa watching TV and chatting, and the atmosphere was much better than when it was just Fu Hua and Ke Qing.

Seeing this, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and carried the dishes out of the kitchen.

"Alright, let's get ready to eat. Laffey, go wash your hands. Fu Hua, Ke Qing, come help me serve the dishes."

Perhaps it was the communication between Ye Ming and Fu Hua that had an effect, or perhaps it was the presence of Yae Sakura and Okita Souji, two outsiders, that eased the atmosphere, or maybe it was just because Lafite, who was secretly drinking red wine at the dinner table, was too cute. In any case, the meal was quite enjoyable, and Ye Ming did not feel any strange atmosphere. Because the conversation was so pleasant, Ye Ming did not even have a chance to test Okita Souji's identity.

By the end of the dinner, Ye Ming hadn't been able to exchange more than a few words with Okita Souji. He only vaguely knew that the other party came from an ancient swordsmanship family in Japan and practiced the famous Tennen Rishin-ryu swordsmanship from the late Edo period. He didn't have a chance to ask anything else.

After finishing their meal and seeing off Yae Sakura and Okita Souji, Ye Ming carried Lafite, who had successfully drunk quite a bit of red wine and was now sound asleep, to Fu Hua's bed. After covering her with the blanket, Ye Ming got up and suddenly realized that Fu Hua had somehow entered the bedroom and was watching him from behind.

Ye Ming smiled and said, "You must be tired too. I'll go out now. You should get some rest; you have to go to work tomorrow."

With that, Ye Ming was about to leave.

"Ye Zi, Ke Qing is going on a business trip tomorrow, right?"

Just as Ye Ming reached the bedroom door, Fu Hua suddenly spoke.

"Hmm, hmm?" Ye Ming asked alertly, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, get some rest, see you tomorrow."

Fu Hua spoke calmly.

"Uh, see you tomorrow."
