The four arrived at the east gate of Liyue Harbor, where they were stopped by the Thousand Rock Army stationed at the entrance.

"Travelers, please stop here and show your ID."

Xing froze on the spot; she had no Teyvat identity documents.

Xing pulled Hu Tao, who was engrossed in the mini-game.

"Hu Tao, stop playing for now, let's go into town."

Hu Tao twisted her arm.

"Don't rush, let me finish this sentence."

Xing looked at Hu Tao, who had become a gaming addict, with a frustrated expression.

I should have known better than to let Hu Tao play games.

Ye Yun looked at Wendy beside him.

Wendy understood from Ye Yun's expression, and with a wave of his hand, three Adventurer's Certificates appeared in his hand.

“Brother Qianyanjun, these are our identification information. We are adventurers from Mondstadt.”

Qianyanjun took the adventurer's certificate, looked at it, and checked if it belonged to him.

"Okay, that's all. Welcome to Liyue. Please abide by Liyue's laws and regulations and do not break the law."

Otherwise, Liyue has the right to arrest you.

Xing waved.

"No, no, we just came to Liyue Harbor for a stroll."

The Thousand Rock Army nodded and let the four of them into Liyue Harbor.

You might ask why we didn't investigate Hu Tao? Just kidding, who in the entire Liyue Harbor doesn't know Hu Tao?

After all, who in Liyue Harbor hasn't received a flyer from Walnut?

The four entered Liyue Harbor, where the dock was right next to the entrance.

Many large wooden ships were moored at the dock.

However, it's already quite late, and there are far fewer vendors still hawking their wares, though a few remain.

Ye Yun looked at Wendy.

"Wendy, can you find anyone?"

Wendy nodded and looked at Walnut, who was engrossed in playing a game.

Seeing this, Ye Yun nodded to indicate that he understood.

Is he in the mortuary?

Ye Yun tilted his head at Wendy, gesturing for him to talk to Hu Tao.

Seeing this, Wendy walked over to Walnut.

"Master Hu, stop playing for now and tell us where there are fun places to go in Liyue Harbor, okay?"

Hu Tao had just finished a game, and the word "Failure" was prominently displayed on the screen.

Hu Tao put down her phone and thought for a moment.

"Any fun places? There are plenty, but it's too late now, they're probably all closed."

Wendy said upon hearing this.

"Could I visit your funeral parlor? Isn't Xing very interested in funeral matters?"

Xing, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

Go! We absolutely have to go!

"Yes, yes, yes! I want to go see!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao thought for a moment, glanced at the phone in Ka's hand, and an idea popped into her head.

Hehe~ My main purpose is to have Xing stay at the Hall of Rebirth tonight, so that I can play games all night long?

Perfect!

"Alright! It's so late, you can rest at the Rebirth Hall. I'll have my little sister arrange rooms for you."

Ye Yun and Wendy thought about it and agreed.

Xing approached Hu Tao with an expectant look on her face.

"Hu Tao, are there many coffins in your Rebirth Hall? Can I sleep in a coffin tonight? I've never slept in a coffin before!"

When Hu Tao heard Xing's request to sleep in a coffin, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Um...are you sure? There are plenty of new, unused coffins."

If you want to sleep, that's fine too.

Xing's eyes lit up.

"I'll sleep in a coffin! Hehe!"

Hu Tao didn't say anything more; as long as she could play the game, that was enough for her.

This phone is amazing! It's so much fun!

The four then headed towards the Hall of Rebirth.

The Hall of Rebirth is located at the intersection of Yujingtai and Chihuyan, in a corner next to Yujingtai.

Although the location is remote, it occupies a considerable area.

The four of them walked along the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

At the entrance of the Rebirth Hall, the young female attendant saw Hu Tao and quickly stood up.

"Master, you're back?"

Walnut nodded.

"Okay~ Go find Liu Yidao first thing tomorrow morning. His father, the head of this hall, has already been taken to the place. Have him settle the final payment."

Oh, by the way, these are my friends. Go and arrange for them to come out to three... no, two rooms.

They're staying at the Rebirth Hall tonight.

The young lady in charge of the ceremony agreed.

"Yes, I'll make the arrangements right away. Please wait a moment, Master."

Hu Tao nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, I'll take them to the courtyard to sit for a while. You can go and arrange the rooms."

After giving her instructions, Hu Tao led Xing, Ye Yun, and Wendy into the Hall of Rebirth and went to the small courtyard where Hu Tao lived.

The courtyard had only two side rooms, one for her and the other for her guest, Zhongli.

In the middle of the courtyard stands an ancient tree. According to the guest elder, this tree was planted when the Rebirth Hall was first built.

I don't even know how many years have passed now.

Hu Tao led the three of them to sit down under the ancient tree.

"Come, come, sit down, have some tea. After my sister has arranged the rooms, I will take you to rest."

Xing plopped down and looked around curiously.

At this moment, Hu Tao looked at Xing with a sly smile.

"Hehe~ Xing, can I borrow this thing you call a cell phone to play with for one night?"

Xing said upon hearing this.

"Are you planning to play games all night? No way, your phone battery is almost dead, you won't be able to play if it runs out of power."

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao exclaimed, "Does this thing called a cell phone even need electricity?"

She was even planning to stay up all night tonight.

Ye Yun smiled and took out a teleportation portal.

Chapter 173, Zhongli

Ye Yun pointed to the portal.

"Xing, why don't you take Hu Tao back to play? You can play games while charging."

Xing's eyes lit up.

"That's right! Come on, Walnut, I'll take you to play on our train!"

Hu Tao stared at the portal in front of her, deep in thought.

"A train? Your home is on a train?"

Xing nodded.

"Yes, on a train."

Oh, I forgot to tell you, Ye Yun and I aren't from this world; we come from outside of it.

Only Wendy, he's a native of Mondstadt, and we met him there.

Hu Tao was astonished upon hearing this.

"What? From outside the world???"

Hu Tao was only surprised for a few seconds before she understood.

Hu Tao tossed the phone in her hand.

“Indeed, I’ve never seen this thing before in Teyvat. It doesn’t seem like something that could be made in Teyvat.”

Xing looked at Hu Tao and extended the invitation again.

"How about it, Walnut? Want to come visit us? We can watch anime there, and let me tell you, it's amazing!"

Add some snacks and drinks, lie down on the sofa, and life couldn't be better.

Hu Tao was somewhat tempted by Xing's words.

At this time.

The door to another room opened, and a man with golden eyes, brown hair, and a calm demeanor slowly walked out.

"Master, do we have guests at home today?"

When Hu Tao saw the person coming, her eyes lit up, and she jumped up from the stone bench and ran towards the man.

"Oh! Guest Elder! I haven't seen you for several days. Where have you been these past few days?"

The middle-aged man, named Zhongli, is the incarnation of the Geo Archon of Liyue.

Zhongli looked at Hu Tao running towards her, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes.

This child, whom I've watched grow up since childhood, is now capable of standing on his own.

When she was little, she would follow me around, pestering me to play with her and buy her candied hawthorns.

"Master, I visited some old friends these past few days and just returned this afternoon."

Hu Tao had already run up to Zhong Li, circled around him, and reached out her little hand to pinch him.

"I see. Let me see if you've lost weight."

Zhongli smiled slightly.

"Master, how can you tell in just a few days?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Tao released her grip and nodded.

"Hmm, that's true."

"Come, come, guest, let me introduce you to a few people, all new friends of this master."

As she spoke, Hu Tao pulled Zhong Li toward Ye Yun and the others.
