Thinking of this, Su Chen quickened his pace and walked towards the living hall.

He planned to go find Master Hu, have a chat, review the past, and have a deeper emotional exchange.

At this moment, the streets of Liyue were filled with the sounds of hawking, bargaining, and newspapers. The death of the Rock God who protected them did not seem to have much impact on the lives of these civilians.

Although people no longer remember the past in their hearts, life must go on.

It is precisely because of this that Keqing might want to make Liyue completely embark on the path of human rule?

So Su Chen walked for another ten minutes and finally arrived at the Hall of Rebirth.

Although the Wangsheng Hall has a monopoly on the funeral industry in Liyue Harbor, it is accessible because the nature of this industry is rather special and its geographical location is remote, so the facades are all built and designed in a minimalist style.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the activity funds of Wangsheng Hall were all spent by Zhongli, the prodigal son.

Just when Su Chen was about to go in and take a look, a figure with twin ponytails called out to him: "Hey? Isn't this Brother Su Chen? When did you come?"

When Su Chen turned around, he saw Hu Tao, who was so excited that he almost jumped up.

She stood there with her arms clasped tightly across her chest, her eyes sparkling with excitement and a playful smile on her lips.

"Oh, it's Hu Tao! I thought you encountered something strange." Su Chen smiled with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Hu Tao's eyes lit up, as if she had caught something interesting. "Brother Su Chen, are you here to handle some business as well?"

"Don't worry. Although our Wangsheng Hall's business has been unusually hot recently, I will naturally give you special treatment."

There was a gleam of business opportunity in Hu Tao's eyes, as if she had already seen the success of her business.

She suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and then she said, "By the way, Brother Su Chen, don't you have a group of friends? Would you like to consider our Wangsheng Hall special package together? We have a big promotion now, buy two get one free, buy three get three free, and there are also double packages suitable for couples."

As she spoke, Walnut blinked her charming plum blossom eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a playful and cunning smile.

Su Chen couldn't help feeling a little happy as he looked at the smart and enthusiastic girl in front of him.

"Uh... Kurumi, what are you holding in your hand?"

Su Chen noticed that Hu Tao was holding a roll of drawing paper in his hand, but he didn't know what it was.

"Oh, this, this is the promotional poster I just asked someone to make for me. Didn't something happen these days?"

"You should have gone to ask the Immortal Ceremony to see it, right? The old Emperor was actually attacked by someone. It's really terrible."

"But fortunately, in Liyue, Qixing also entrusted us to hold a funeral for the emperor. This is a big order, and I can. I saw a lot of Mora from it, which is equivalent to the performance of the Wangsheng Hall in a normal month." At this point, Hu Tao's expression became more excited. He even waved his hand slightly.

“So of course I have to take advantage of this rare opportunity to promote our Wangsheng Hall, so that we can get more business.”

Looking at Hu Tao's cute appearance, Su Chen also showed a smile on his face, "In that case, let me help you with this advertisement for reference."

Su Chen's eyes fell on the item in Hu Tao's hand and he asked curiously, "What is this, Hu Tao? The one you are holding in your hand."

Hu Tao held a roll of exquisite drawing paper tightly in her hand, with a hint of pride in her eyes. She gently unfolded the paper to reveal the contents on it.

"Ah, this? This is the promotional poster I just asked someone to help design. You also know that some accidents happened in Liyue recently, right?"

"Yes, I heard about the matter of the Immortal Ceremony. The Emperor was actually plotted against. It is really shocking."

Su Chen's brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of concern in his tone.

Walnut nodded, with a complicated expression on her face: "That's right. And Qixing has specially entrusted us, Wangsheng Hall, to hold a grand funeral for the emperor. This is a big business, basically equal to our normal monthly turnover."

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with excitement and the poster in her hand swayed gently.

“So, I want to take this opportunity to promote our Wangsheng Hall and attract more customers.”

There was a hint of unquestionable determination in Kurumi's voice.

Su Chen was touched by Hu Tao's eyes full of business opportunities and energetic attitude, and a warm smile appeared on his face unconsciously: "In that case, let me help you take a look at this promotional poster."

Walnut waved the flyer in her hand, her voice filled with excitement: "Dear customers, Wangsheng Hall is currently offering a great discount! In order to thank our loyal customers, we decided to give away three specially made Wangsheng candles as a token of our appreciation!"

With a proud smile on her face, she continued to announce excitedly: "In addition, we also have a new double coffin, which is made of high-grade mahogany and has a soft mattress inside. It guarantees that you will feel at home!"

Su Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard Hu Tao's words. This advertisement was as humorous as a crosstalk line.

"This slogan is so creative, Hu Tao, you've turned the advertisement into a performance."

Su Chen pretended to be serious, but his eyes were full of appreciation. He gave a thumbs up and said, "This slogan is great!"

When Hu Tao heard the compliment, her cheeks turned red. She shyly hid her hands behind her back and twisted her body slightly: "Oh, Brother Su Chen praises me so much, I feel embarrassed."

However, Hu Tao's pride did not last long. She suddenly looked at Su Chen seriously and asked, "So, Brother Su Chen, what business are you going to handle? We are still accepting reservations, maybe it will come in handy someday."

Su Chen shook his hand with a teasing smile: "I am mainly here to visit the Wangsheng Hall this time. I need to think about handling business matters."

Just then, a panting female clerk from the Wangsheng Hall rushed in and interrupted the conversation between Hu Tao and Su Chen.

The female clerk's face was filled with anxiety and tension. "Master Hu Tao, something terrible has happened! The death of the Rock King shocked the entire Liyue. Now our orders have skyrocketed! It seems that everyone has been touched by this incident and has begun to worry about their own life and death. They have come to the Hall of Life to order custom coffins."

When Hu Tao heard this, she suddenly felt under great pressure.

Her brows were furrowed, and she was quickly thinking of a strategy in her mind.

The staff of Wangshengtang is already stretched to the limit, and if this influx of orders is not handled properly, the reputation of Wangshengtang will inevitably be damaged.

Her eyes involuntarily turned to Su Chen, and the balance in her heart began to tilt. "Su Chen, look..."

There was a hint of help in Kurumi's tone, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Su Chen understood the silent request in Hu Tao's eyes. He smiled lightly and put on a desperate attitude: "No problem, Hu Tao. Since you are so sincere, I will be merciful and stay to help in the evening. We will work overtime together to complete these orders."

When Hu Tao heard Su Chen's answer, a smile immediately broke out on her face, as if she had seen a ray of sunshine amidst the dark clouds of stress. "Great! I feel much more at ease with you here."

She patted Su Chen's shoulder briskly, with determination and gratitude in her eyes.

So the two decided to stay overnight to deal with this sudden influx of orders together.

Hu Tao began to plan various efficient work processes in her mind, while Su Chen was ready to give it his all. The tacit understanding and cooperation between the two were fully demonstrated in this emergency moment.

Chapter 309 Walnut's Little Plan

Soon, it was night.

In the Hall of the Dead, facing the departure of life has become a daily routine.

Every life is unique. They leave deep marks in this world. However, one day they will fade out of people's sight silently.

As witnesses, the staff of the Hall of the Reborn have long been accustomed to such scenes.

But the rule of the Wangsheng Hall is that burial work is not carried out at night.

In the darkness of night, the heavy atmosphere and invisible fear often double.

Imagine, late at night, on a silent street, several figures carrying the deceased, as if it were a solemn movie scene.

Walnut stood in front of the window, looking at the sky outside which was gradually getting darker, and sighed softly.

She turned around and looked at Su Chen, her eyes revealing a hint of deep thought.

"Su Chen, do you know? The Hall of Rebirth at night always gives people a mysterious feeling. In the darkness, all the sadness and nostalgia seem to become deeper."

Her voice was low and a little confused.

Su Chen walked gently to Hu Tao and nodded slightly: "Yes, the night always makes people feel the heaviness of life more. But perhaps it is this silence and tranquility that makes us respect and miss every life that has passed away."

Hu Tao listened to Su Chen's words and smiled: "Su Chen, with you here, these nights don't seem so scary anymore."

The two stood side by side, looking at the night outside the window, silent and affectionate.

In this special place, the Hall of the Dead, they all experience the weight of life and the pain of separation.

Su Chen frowned and asked Hu Tao in confusion: "Where did you get the idea of ​​night service? It's unusual to do burial work at night, right?"

Hu Tao shook her head slightly, with a sly gleam in her eyes. She explained slowly, "Think about it, Su Chen. Some people died tragically, and their bodies can only be handled at night. Doing these tasks during the day is unlucky and can easily cause panic."

Su Chen pondered for a moment and asked again: "But don't you think it would be more scary to do this at night?"

Walnut smiled softly, as if she had a different understanding of this mysterious night: "Actually not... The tranquility of the night has a special meaning for the farewell ceremony."

Thanks to Hu Tao's persistence and unique insights, Wangsheng Hall opened up an unprecedented new business - night service.

Although this decision may seem unexpected at first glance, it is completely consistent with Walnut's deep understanding and respect for life and death.

In the past, the staff of the Hall of Rebirth would always collect the wooden signs of entrustment inserted in the door frame at the first light of morning.

However, for Hu Tao, this passive way of taking orders seems too bland.

She always felt that even though she was bold enough to run around promoting her business, it was still not enough to break through the traditional limitations of the Wangsheng Hall.

So, she came up with a bold idea: to make the Hall of Rebirth open around the clock and set up a special duty room.

"Sigh..." Su Chen stood at the door and let out a sigh.

Hu Tao turned around with a look of determination on her face: "Stop sighing, Su Chen, come and help me!"

As she spoke, she lit the lantern at the door.

The original intention was to use bright red to indicate that the Wangsheng Hall was still open, but this fiery red light looked particularly eerie in the night, making the facade of the Wangsheng Hall seem like the entrance to the underworld.

Passersby quickened their pace, and some even hurried past with their hands covering their cheeks, as if they were avoiding something ominous.

In this strange atmosphere, the Hall of Rebirth seemed to be forgotten by the world and became a deserted corner.

Su Chen stood beside Hu Tao, looking at her working tirelessly to change the Wangsheng Hall, and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.

He whispered soothingly, "Walnut, maybe we need to find a way to attract customers instead of scaring them."

Hu Tao turned her head, a gleam of unwillingness to admit defeat in her eyes: "You are right, we need more innovative ideas. This is just the beginning, Su Chen."

The two stood side by side in front of the door of the Hall of the Dead. Even under the eerie light, their determination and faith remained firm.

Walnut hummed a light and slightly mysterious tune as she deftly pushed open the heavy wooden door of the Hall of the Rebirth.

The summer night breeze blew gently into the room, bringing a hint of coolness.

The incense burning in the house wafts out slowly. It is the subtle fragrance of plum blossoms, elegant and peaceful, as if dividing the sultry summer night into two, with the other half immersed in the tranquility and tranquility of autumn.

Su Chen found a corner, brought a small stool, sat outside the door and enjoyed the night breeze, occasionally looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

Such a leisurely time was rare for him. He couldn't even remember when and where he last enjoyed the moonlight so leisurely - maybe on a quiet night in the wild, on the soft grass under a tree?

Su Chen turned his head and his eyes fell on the illuminated gate of the Wangsheng Hall, and he couldn't help but sigh softly. How he wished he could be like the hurried pedestrians on the street and pretend that he didn't know anything about the Wangsheng Hall.

But he knew that if he really did that, Walnut might come up with more bizarre ways to recruit him.

It would be better for him to stay by Kurumi's side and prevent her from going too far with her creativity before the situation gets any worse.

Hu Tao was busy in the hall, occasionally looking outside. Seeing Su Chen sitting outside, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of mischief and gratitude in her eyes.

On this summer night, the Hall of Rebirth seems no longer so heavy and gloomy, but more relaxed and lively.

"Su Chen..." Hu Tao's voice floated in the quiet night, with a hint of expectation.

Su Chen put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes slowly shifted from the bright moon, and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Hu Tao? Did something happen?"

"Look here!" Hu Tao's voice was full of excitement. She stood at the door, as if she had something important to show.

Su Chen turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on Hu Tao, and he was instantly attracted by the scene in front of him. He almost forgot about the teacup in his hand and almost let it slip from his hand.

Walnut's long hair was untied and fell naturally, as smooth as flowing chocolate. It was adorned with a blue silk scarf, which was lightly wrapped around the top of the head and tied into an elegant bow at the back.

Her top was a loose shirt with a deliberately relaxed neckline that hung lazily over her shoulders, revealing her collarbone just right.

Outside, she casually wore a blue and white long-sleeved coat, and a pleated skirt from Fontaine. The hem of the skirt was so short that it almost revealed the boundaries of her secrets, but at this late night, with only her and Su Chen, she didn't seem to care.

Su Chen's heart moved, and he realized that this outfit seemed somewhat familiar.

Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that this was the piece of clothing he had given to Hu Tao.

He didn't expect that Hu Tao would keep it until now, and he didn't expect that she would wear it on such a special night just for him to appreciate. Hu Tao, this little girl, actually used such a way to attract his attention!

A warm feeling arose in Su Chen's heart. He looked at Hu Tao with admiration and tenderness in his eyes.

In the night, Hu Tao's figure looks particularly charming, and the tacit understanding and emotions between her and Su Chen seem particularly profound at this moment.

The walnut shape is carefully crafted down to the details.

Her legs were long and graceful, wrapped in black stockings carefully selected from Fontaine. The delicate material outlined her curves, and the faintly exposed skin looked even whiter.

She was wearing a pair of cleverly modified cloth shoes, her toes lightly touching the ground, making her look light and agile.

Hu Tao gently grasped the hem of her coat, as if she was about to spread her wings and fly away. She turned lightly in a circle, as if to show Su Chen her outfit.

However, there were some complex emotions in her expression. Her moist plum-colored pupils flashed with a smile, but her brows trembled unconsciously, as if she was hiding a hint of shyness.
