Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

She could tell that this was just Barbara's concern for Bennett, so she just smiled and said nothing.

Unfortunately, we weren't very familiar with each other yet. This Pastor Barbara seemed to be the kind of person who takes things quite seriously, otherwise she really wanted to have a serious talk with her and instill some of her ideas about life and death...

Jiang Bai naturally couldn't hear what Hu Tao was thinking, and he really didn't react to Barbara's words.

Other people's views on life and death are irrelevant to him, and he has no interest in instilling the concept of life and death in others like the head of the hall.

What he's concerned about now is that it's getting dark, he's hungry, and it's time to go eat.

"Master, it's getting late, let's go eat!"

Hu Tao glanced at the sky and realized that they had been strolling around all afternoon; it was now dusk.

"We're going to eat now. Thanks for the introduction, see you next time!"

"goodbye!"

After saying goodbye to Barbara, the group left the church and headed into town to find a place to eat.

"Do you have a place to rest at night?" Bennett asked.

"Just find any hotel, we'll stay one night and head back tomorrow."

"Uh-huh!"

Bennett had originally planned to introduce them to a friend's house for the night if they didn't have a place to stay, so they wouldn't have to worry about it.

As for why I didn't take them to my house to sleep...

His home location, well, it's not very fixed...

It's not very convenient for friends to stay over.

After finishing dinner, they parted ways with Bennett and found a hotel together.

"The Goethe Hotel is truly magnificent!" Jiang Bai exclaimed, looking at the five-story building in front of him.

This building is a completely independent building, with exquisite and grand architecture.

There is a huge fountain in front of the gate, with various plants evenly distributed on both sides of the fountain.

Waiters in black vests stood at the door to greet the guests.

"Let's go! Let's go inside and see just how grand this hotel is!" Hu Tao waved her hand and went inside first.

The hotel's interior is also incredibly luxurious and grand, with lamps made from unidentified luminous crystals, creating an atmosphere of extreme opulence.

These lights are not only beautiful, but also incredibly bright; even when it's dark, the hall is as bright as day.

"Master, why don't we get a lamp like this for our Rebirth Hall? Look how bright it is!"

"This lamp just doesn't match the style of our Rebirth Hall at all!"

Where can she hang a crystal chandelier she bought? Nowhere would be a good place!

"I think the lights in our ancestral hall are too dim, unlike here which is so bright..."

Jiang Bai genuinely felt that the lights in the Rebirth Hall were not bright enough. Although the warm yellow light looked comforting, it was very unfavorable for reading and writing and was very harmful to the eyes.

“Master, look, everyone is already superstitious about funerals, and our funeral hall is always dimly lit and looks gloomy. People who are afraid won’t dare to come in even if they want to do business, which is not good for our business…”

Seeing that Hu Tao was somewhat interested, he pressed on.

"Besides, Master, aren't you going to write a book? The lighting in the room is so dim, it's bad for your eyes and not conducive to writing, is it?"

Walnut was convinced, "Okay, I'll get a few of these lamps tomorrow..."

The two walked to the front desk, and Hu Tao tapped on the desk and asked, "How much is the accommodation?"

The waiter smiled, a standard smile: "A single room costs eight thousand mora per night."

Eight thousand!

Jiang Bai's eyes widened. Wasn't this price a bit outrageous?!

"Eight thousand? That's alright. I'd like two single rooms."

Hu Tao didn't react much to the price and paid it readily.

Jiang Bai felt a pang of heartache seeing Hu Tao pull out the Mora.

It would be great to give him those 8,000 Mora. He could stay up all night building a house for Walnut, making sure it's warm and comfortable!

However, the money had already been paid, and it was too late for him to say it now.

Jiang Bai spent 16,000 Mora to book two rooms. Led by the staff, he arrived at his room and witnessed the difference between the beds in Mondstadt and Liyue.

The beds in the ancestral hall are all canopy beds, which are framed by a frame with a frame and rods, making it easy to set up mosquito nets in the summer.

A layer of dried straw is laid on the bottom of the bed, followed by a mat and a quilt, which keeps the bed warm and makes it softer.

The beds in this grand hotel are completely different. They have no frames or obstructions, are quite spacious, and the bedding is white and soft. Lying on the bed feels like sinking into a cloud.

"Truly befitting a luxury hotel, the mora flower decorations are definitely worth it..."

He admitted he couldn't make such a soft bed...

The room also has convenient hot water and a shower room, and the toilet is just a stone's throw away.

Having not showered for several days, Jiang Bai took a good wash and then crawled naked into bed.

"That feels so good!"

He huddled under the covers, leaving only his head sticking out, and soon fell asleep.

He's been incredibly busy lately, always on the go. Even though the snow mountain incident has temporarily come to an end, he spent the whole afternoon exploring Mondstadt. If it weren't for his superhuman stamina and physical condition, he would have collapsed long ago.

It's no exaggeration to say that she could fall asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

At 10 a.m., Hu Tao, who had been sleeping all day, groggily opened her eyes from under the covers.

After opening her eyes, she looked at the sky outside somewhat blankly, then took out her pocket watch and checked it.

"Is it already ten o'clock?"

She rarely sleeps in; her biological clock is quite accurate, and she never wakes up later than eight o'clock. It's quite rare for her to sleep in now.

"Am I too tired, or is this bed too comfortable?" Hu Tao, who didn't want to move, fell into deep thought.

She summoned Little Ghost from the ring, "Youyou, go check if Jiang Bai has woken up yet."

The little ghost nodded and passed directly through the wall into Jiang Bai's room next door.

Jiang Bai was fast asleep at this time, showing no signs of waking up.

He was sleeping with one leg and one arm sticking out of the blanket, and half of his buttocks were also exposed.

The little ghost quickly covered its eyes with its tiny hands and floated back to Walnut's side.

"Still sleeping? Then it's alright."

The little ghost nodded, its little head bobbing like it was pounding garlic.

Having received a reply, Hu Tao felt at ease, wrapped herself in the blanket, and closed her eyes to sleep again.

Since I have nothing else to do, it's fine to sleep until the afternoon.

Walnut went to sleep, leaving the bored little ghost in a state of worry.

It circled the room a few times, boredly poked its head into Jiang Bai's room, then covered its eyes and pulled back, then poked its head in again.

They did this repeatedly, having a great time.

It wasn't until Jiang Bai turned over, completely removing the blanket from his body, that the blanket came off.

The little ghost who had seen Jiang Bai naked covered its mouth in horror and scurried back into the ring.

Chapter 160 He has a little secret behind my back

Jiang Bai noticed that Little Ghost was acting strangely today.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it. After all, the little thing only had eyes and a mouth, and didn't even have a complete face. Jiang Bai really couldn't figure out what the little thing was thinking.

Although this little thing had occasionally crawled out of Walnut's body before, it was never like this today.

As soon as it emerged, it hid behind Walnut's head, hugging Walnut's head with its two little paws and peeking out with one eye to look at him.

Once discovered, it immediately shrank back, but after a short while, it would peek out again, pretending to cover its eyes with a small hand and peek through the crack, trying to deceive itself.

If Jiang Bai could easily find this little guy, he would have loved to drag him out, grab his little tail, and loudly question him:

If you want to play hide-and-seek with me, just say so! Why are you being so sneaky?

Seeing Jiang Bai and Little Ghost exchanging glances, Hu Tao put her hands on her hips:

"Are you two having a secret from me?!"

Upon hearing these words, the little ghost who was playing hide-and-seek with Jiang Bai was momentarily bewildered, then waved his hands and shook his head to prove his innocence.

He's an innocent soul, how could he possibly have a secret with someone else behind his master's back?

"That's more like it!" Walnut patted it into the ring with satisfaction.

"Master, where did you get this Youyou? Can you get me one too?" Jiang Bai was very envious of the cute little thing.

"Dream on! Youyou is one of a kind!"

Her guardian spirit in the underworld is unique; there are no other branches!

"Okay, okay..." Jiang Bai was a little disappointed, but not surprised.

If he gets the chance, he'll make a little toy that can follow him around; it's so cute.

"Master, what souvenirs should we buy?"

They were on Mondstadt's commercial street, preparing to buy some souvenirs for their friends before heading back.

"Buy Xiangling a Mondstadt cookbook, and Xingqiu a quill pen. Zhongli's dandelions are already prepared, so we don't need to buy any more. But what should we get for Guoba and Chongyun?"

Hu Tao fell into deep thought.

"Who is Chongyun?" Jiang Bai had never heard of this name before.

"My friend is a Taoist priest born into a family of Taoist priests."

"Oh~"

We still don't know who it is.

"Then let's do what Xiangling did and pick out the things they're most interested in."

"Then let me ask you, what is Guoba interested in?"

"Ah, this..." Jiang Bai was stumped by the question.

He tentatively suggested, "How about... we bring it some food?"

"It will be cold by the time you bring it back from here."

"Then what should I bring...?"

Hu Tao asked a crucial question: "But what are you planning to bring for Xiangling and the others?"

"The gift from the hall master is the gift from me!" Jiang Bai said matter-of-factly.

"Tch~" Walnut cast a disdainful glance at her.

"Dream on! If you want to give it to someone, give it to them yourself! Don't try to freeload off me!"

Jiang Bai scratched his head, reluctantly accepting the fact that he also had to give two souvenirs.

Fortunately, he doesn't have many friends, so he only needs to prepare one portion for Xiangling and Guoba.

However, if a funeral procession is to be carried out, it seems that the attendants of the funeral hall should not be left out.

He hurriedly opened Cartis's money bag, took it, and didn't even check how much was inside.

He opened his purse with anticipation, took out his Mora, and counted them one by one.

“Three thousand one hundred and fifty-six…” Jiang Bai’s smile gradually disappeared.

I thought it would be a large bag, but it turned out to be full of small denomination Mora notes. The whole bag only cost a little over three thousand.

However, this is understandable. There aren't many adventurers who are mindful of saving, because they don't know which dangerous place they might die in, so most of them live for the moment. Katis is one of the few wealthy people.

The services he booked at the funeral parlor had nearly depleted his savings. Since he was already prepared to die, he naturally wouldn't have left much money.
