Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

However, as night fell and the girl was exhausted from the day, her frail body could not support such a trip, so she had to let Qiqi go home with her for the time being.

However, just when the two of them had finally "stepped over" the threshold with great difficulty, a mysterious guest appeared in the yard.

Chapter 10: Life and Death

"When the sun comes out, I bask in the sun. When the moon comes out, I bask in the moon~"

A girl's mischievous voice rang out in the empty yard. Regardless of whether it sounded good or not, her howling gave Yun Shang goose bumps.

"——Who is coming?"

"Of course it's the future 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall, Walnut."

The girl standing in the shadow of the courtyard walked out confidently. She had a cute and playful smile, and plum blossom eyes that were not like those of ordinary people. She was wearing a tailored dark-colored standard dress with wide sleeves. She looked like a professional at first glance.

She looked at Yun Shang with a smile, but her gaze seemed to penetrate her and saw Qi Qi, who hid behind the wheelchair as soon as she heard her voice.

"Hehe. I came in without informing my family. I want to apologize to you first, but I, Walnut, have lost my treasure. I have to be anxious!"

"What is the so-called treasure?"

"Of course it's my best friend, Qiqi."

"I don't know you..."

The latter sentence was naturally said by Qiqi. Her cold tone revealed a hint of resentment.

However, although Qiqi disliked Hu Tao who would always throw herself into trouble, she always ran away when facing her and never really fought with Hu Tao.

Whether this was out of concern for this "fake friendship" or out of fear of people like Wangshengtang who are responsible for funerals and bereavements, only Qiqi knew.

"Huh?! How can you say that? Has Qiqi forgotten the beautiful memories between us?"

Hu Tao immediately looked like a wronged young wife.

When Qiqi looked at her expressionlessly, Yun Shang just held her forehead and said helplessly.

"No, judging from the rumors I heard from Changsheng, it is more likely that you, Miss Hutao, took advantage of the dark night and kidnapped Qiqi, thinking of letting her rest in peace, right?"

"Eh? You knew about it!"

Walnut pretended to be confused and knocked his head, sticking out his tongue. He acted cute and innocent.

"You can't just say 'hey' and get away with it at a time like this. And why are you so proud of yourself even though your lie has been exposed?"

Yun Shang couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, I didn't lie."

Kurumi came very close all of a sudden, to the point where they could almost feel each other's breath.

She opened her big plum blossom eyes with a sincere look on her face.

"Look at my eyes, they really aren't lying! I consider Qiqi to be my best friend, and I think all those past experiences are good memories. These aren't lies!"

To emphasize her persuasiveness, she winked playfully. However, for Yun Chang, this third-level attack of the power of cuteness was far from enough to break down her defenses. It would require at least a "Barbara" realm!

Therefore, Yun Shang just hugged her chest, leaned back slightly to create some distance between her and her, and said in a distant tone: "But this is just your one-sided statement, isn't it? Qiqi is obviously very afraid of you--"

"cut."

"You just cut it, didn't you? It was obviously a girl? And in front of her?"

"Oh, kids nowadays are so petty. But I, Walnut, am not like that."

The brown-haired girl pretending to be mature touched her cherry lips, like a parent who was worried about her disobedient child.

"In that case, could the future Hall Master Hu please show some mercy and let Qiqi go?"

"That won't do. Life and death have their own order. A person like Qiqi who lives in the world with a dead body will only bring suffering. Instead of letting her stay in this state, why not let her reincarnate and embrace a new life as soon as possible?"

This sentence seems to be inhumane, but that's how funerals are.

Life is life, death is death, no matter how nice the words are, they cannot change this ironclad fact.

However, Yunchang objected to this.

"Perhaps what you said is the truth between the Yin and Yang worlds. But have you ever asked Qiqi's own opinion?"

"Hey, in her current state, don't you think she should be sent to be freed?"

Kurumi just gave her a confused look in return.

"Do you hope to survive in the world as a zombie after you die, spending every day in a daze?"

"If it was me who wanted to live, I would be willing to do so. After all, what else can I ask for from a guy like me who wants to live day by day?"

There was a hint of darkness in Yun Chang's eyes.

At this moment, Hu Tao seemed to have seen through some of the nature of the girl in front of her, and was so frightened that she jumped back a step.

"What a strong aura of death! How could such karma that can only be accumulated through several reincarnations appear on a little girl? Are you some old monster who has been reincarnated and still retains consciousness?!"

"...Thanks to your kind words, I will not be more than 50 years old this year."

"You are only a few years older than me, so how can you have such deathly aura at such an early age? Although it has not reached the level of 'Death Star Flash', you... don't look like you have a long life."

Perhaps because he was a rookie, Hu Tao spoke very rudely, almost saying that you would die in a few years.

Yun Shang, who had already accepted this, did not feel offended. Instead, she felt that Miss Walnut had some real abilities and was not just acting arbitrarily.

"Let's not talk about my business for now. As for Qiqi's affairs, none of us should be qualified to decide whether she can live or not. Only she has this right."

"Well... to be honest, your situation is more serious than hers. I feel like even my grandfather would be confused if he came..."

Walnut said embarrassedly.

"Ahem! Anyway! Has Qiqi's survival in her current state caused any damage to the world?"

"Hmm...I've never heard of that."

"Has she ever had such an intention, or shown any behavior?"

"That's not the case either."

Kurumi shook his head.

"Then she just wants to live, what's wrong with that?"

Yunshang asked the last question.

"I...want to live, not die."

Qiqi also said this.

This also made Walnut, who was accustomed to the life and death of mortals, fall into deep thought.

Logically speaking, Qiqi's state of being neither alive nor dead was like someone jumping back and forth on the line between life and death from the perspective of the Hall of Rebirth. It was not a big violation of taboos, but they just couldn't help but want to discipline her.

But, do I really have the right to tarnish this pure will to live?

What the other party said was not wrong. Qiqi did not need to suck human blood to survive, nor did it cause any damage to the world order, and it was not feasible to replicate her.

In that case, what's wrong with Qiqi wanting to survive?

"…You, what you said seems to make sense."

Finally, Walnut came to a conclusion.

"Why don't you just join our Wangsheng Hall? You look like a perfect fit for our line of work. As long as you join us, we will guarantee all your benefits as usual, and even your funeral arrangements will be made properly!"

"Really? Even if others don't care, don't mention it in a place like this!"

"Hey hey hey?"

"Not even if you add one more hey!"

Chapter 11 Heartbroken

"As a result - Qiqi stayed, so why did you stay too?"

Yun Chang looked at Hu Tao, who was biting his chopsticks and eyeing the sweet and sour fish on the plate across the table, and couldn't help but ask.

"Eh? Isn't it normal to stay at a friend's house and have a meal?"

"It's normal, but this is just the first time we've met, right? We were arguing about Qiqi not long ago."

"But haven't we come to a conclusion? Let me investigate Qiqi's past. If it's really as you said, I will definitely not stop Qiqi from living."

Hu Tao finally couldn't help but move her chopsticks. After Mei Mei tasted a piece of fish, a soft smile appeared on her face.

"Yeah. Really good. I should have sweet and sour fish for dinner!"

"You really are very outgoing."

Yun Shang watched Hu Tao, who had a good appetite, constantly picking up food with his chopsticks. When he noticed her gaze, he even picked up a few pieces of meat for her with a smile, and spoke as if coaxing a child.

"Come on, eat some food. Don't be polite, just treat it like your own home!"

"Is it possible that this is my home and you are the one who came here?"

"You can't say that. From now on, you will belong to my Wangsheng Hall. Aren't your home and my home both small nests that provide shelter? There's not much difference!"

Hu Tao wiped his mouth with the back of his hand generously, then handed the bowl to Yun Shang and said bluntly.

"one more bowl."

"Oh, okay." He subconsciously took Yun Shang's hand and turned around to serve her the meal. Then he realized, "Hey, why are you eating so fast? Even if a child eats a lot as they grow, they can't just chew it and swallow it. That will cause indigestion."

"Don't worry, Hutao. I have a good appetite. I took Qiqi up the mountain and back not long ago, and ran for several miles. If I wasn't worried about losing face, I would have sat down on the ground."

"So this is why you don't go home for dinner?"

Yun Shang immediately smiled.

Walnut licked the rice at the corner of his mouth shyly. Although he did not answer, his slightly shy look was more believable than an answer.

"Okay. It's not that I dislike you, but won't your family be worried? I remember you said you had a grandfather?"

"Yes, my family now only has me and my grandfather living together."

"I see. It seems like you're having a hard time too."

"Haha! Not really. I'm still pretty happy every day. I'm going to do things I like in the future. Even if I'm bored, I can go out and have fun. If I have nothing to do, I'll go find Qiqi."

Walnut smiled optimistically.

"If you ask me, Miss Yunshang, it's not easy for you, right?"

"Why did you suddenly add a honorific?"

"Ah... I'm sorry for offending you just now. I hope Miss Yunshang will be magnanimous and forgive me for my stupid mouth."

"Hmm... Should I say you are worldly-wise or you are good at taking advantage of others?"

Yun Shang stared at the shy Hu Tao for a while, then smiled helplessly.

"But I forgive you. It's just a small matter anyway. I don't care. Besides... maybe I will take care of Kurumi's business in the future."

"Don't worry, we, Hu Tao, will definitely help you get it done quickly. Even the Emperor will not be able to find any mistakes!"

Hu Tao immediately patted his chest and promised proudly.

Although Yunchang has already adapted to such funeral topics, it is still a little difficult for her to truly accept them from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, the girl stared at her with resentment. Then, her eyes moved down subconsciously and caught a glimpse of the smooth breast curve of a young girl without even a trace of curvature.

...It's a bit pitiful. If he's still like this at this age, he probably won't grow any bigger in the future, right?

Although Yun Shang is not going to compare herself with Hu Tao, after all, if the person she is comparing herself to is a young girl with such a good figure, there is nothing to be proud of even if she wins, right?

Even though she was thinking of something extremely rude, Yun Chang remained calm. Instead, Hu Tao suddenly shuddered, rubbed his arms, and said with some doubt.

"Why do I feel like someone is secretly slandering me?"

"Maybe you offend too many people in your daily life?"

"Hehe. That's true. My grandfather also said that you shouldn't do this when you take on jobs. It will cause people to blame you."

Walnut didn’t have the ability to read minds, so of course he didn’t know that the culprit was right in front of him. Instead, he continued to pick up food and eat until he was “full of food and drink”.

She burped and half-collapsed in the chair, looking like she was just waking up from a leisurely meal.

After finishing her meal, Yun Chang looked at Hu Tao, an "old man" who looked like he was very old except for picking his teeth.
