"..." With the corner of his mouth twitching, Yu Qi couldn't help but complain when he heard Hu Tao's words, which sounded very familiar to him: "Is Wangsheng Hall so short of business? Besides, aren't you the head of Wangsheng Hall? Why are you here in person to promote business?
The most important thing is, how did you know that my forehead was black and I had a blood disaster? Don't tell me, you are also a fortune teller on the side?"
"Hey, well, funeral services are for the most part about learning more skills in order to provide customers with a more complete service. Fortune-telling is also about understanding which people can be developed into customers so that we can better develop our business!"
As she spoke, Hu Tao tried her best to push the flyer into Yu Qi's hand: "It doesn't cost much anyway, just take a look at it. At most, I can give you a bigger discount, then I'll just consider it a loss to gain publicity!"
"And think about it, a service that used to cost thousands or tens of thousands of Mora is now available for a normal price. You're making a fortune. Just come and get one!!"
Feeling somewhat helpless being pestered by Hu Tao, Yu Qi raised his head and looked at Yan Fei who was watching the fun on the side, and cast a look for help.
Seeing him looking at her, Yan Fei smiled and gave him a 'watching the fun' look.
In response to this, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel angry. He raised his hand with difficulty, pointed at Yan Fei, and said, "Okay, order a family package!"
"Really?!" Hu Tao was almost stunned by this unexpected good news. Since he started to promote the second monument half-price, he successfully sold the package for the first time. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in surprise: "Okay, young man, please fill in the information. I don't know how many people you want to order services for! I will give you a 50% discount for everyone!"
"Three people!" He said expressionlessly. Yan Fei on the side widened her eyes, vaguely realizing that something was wrong: "Me, Yan Fei, and Alicia!"
“Hey, hey, hey, boss, you’re going too far!” Sitting on a stool beside her with Qiqi in her arms, Alicia stopped kneading Qiqi’s cheeks and looked up to complain, “I’m still a beautiful young girl, how can you be so cruel and wish me death!”
"Okay..." Hu Tao was about to agree, but she turned her head subconsciously and glanced at Yan Fei and Alicia beside her, and the expression on her face suddenly froze.
"Sorry, we at Wangsheng Hall will not accept this order!"
"Huh?" Yu Qi didn't understand Hu Tao's meaning at all. He was confused by her sudden change of heart and asked subconsciously, "Not doing it anymore? Why?"
"If we make a reservation for you, we at the Hall of Rebirth won't even know..."
Can I outlast you?
"Hall Master!" A deep and steady voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Hu Tao's next words.
"Hey, Guest Zhongli, why are you here?!" Turning his head to take a look, Hu Tao greeted him listlessly.
Chapter 47: Yu Qi Weighs Zhongli
"I say, Mr. Zhongli, is it that gust of wind that blew you here again?!" Seeing the figure approaching from a distance, Hu Tao's face instantly showed a gloomy expression: "Don't you usually go out to drink tea, watch a play, walk your birds, and enjoy music at this time?"
The tone was a bit harsh, but from Yu Qi's perspective, the expression on Hu Tao's face was not one of disgust, but rather a kind of guilt and uneasiness as if she had been caught being naughty by the adults at home.
This aroused Yu Qi's interest. He looked in the direction where the voice came from. The dazzling sunlight made him squint his eyes. A somewhat thin figure appeared in his sight.
After blinking his eyes and adjusting to the seemingly dazzling sunlight, Yu Qi quickly saw the person coming.
He was a handsome young man with a square and dignified face, angular eye sockets and bright golden eyes. Just one glance gave people a sense of solemnity and majesty, as if he was meeting some important person, and he unconsciously straightened his attitude.
A slightly exaggerated suit and dress style attire, with a swallowtail hem, matched with a shirt, tie, and accessories in black, gold and white, elegant and dignified.
His lower body was similar to an ancient robe with a long gown and a flowing hem, and he walked towards me in a square step.
Staring at Walnut, his sharp brows were slightly furrowed, his long dark brown hair was tied into a ponytail and hung behind his head, the end of the braid gradually transitioned into a slightly brilliant golden orange color.
Staring at Zhongli's figure, Yu Qi's eyes unconsciously became focused. A strange sense of familiarity emerged in his heart, and wisps of golden light flowed in his eyes.
The Eye of Truth appeared, and Yu Qi almost instinctively began to weigh the value represented by Zhongli, and at this moment, an extremely special feeling suddenly burst out in his mind.
He seemed to be standing above the starry sky, with the endless deep void behind him and the boundless vast land in front of him.
When his eyes fell on the star on the ground, his body seemed to be hit by an invisible impact. A strong sense of dizziness swept through his brain, and a heat surged through his body, as if to roast him thoroughly. Faintly, he could hear countless noisy calls, whispers, distress, and screams, one by one.
"..."
"!!!" He suddenly closed his eyes, and a bead of sweat quietly appeared on Yu Qi's forehead. The next moment, when he opened his eyes again, the golden light in his eyes had dissipated, returning to its previous gray-brown color.
This series of incidents happened very quickly, and there was very little noise. There was almost no one who noticed Yu Qi's movements, except...
With a quick glance at Yu Qi, Zhongli showed a look of understanding in his eyes, while Alicia, who was sitting at the door of the house, blinked quietly.
"This feeling, the Eye of Truth? Tsk, does Qi have it now? But it looks very immature. Hmm, he probably hasn't developed the ability to see all of Mobius' clothes off at one glance."
"Huh~" Yu Qi let out a light breath, lowered his eyes, his face calm, but he couldn't stop the horror in his heart.
At that moment just now, he tried to measure the value represented by Zhongli, but the result scared him so much that he almost ran away.
no result!
Yes, he got nothing.
In other words, the information about "the value represented by Zhongli" has far exceeded Yu Qi's current tolerance limit. Out of self-preservation instinct, he decisively stopped weighing the pros and cons after realizing that he might pay the price of being overdrawn to the point of drying up.
But even so, he had spent nearly half of his physical strength, mental strength and all of his elemental strength.
"Huh, what a terrifying existence. This feeling is like facing a world directly!" Yu Qi muttered in his heart, and raised his hand to rub his swollen and painful temple.
Maybe it was because he consumed too much mental energy in an instant, but his mind was a little confused, and it seemed that some other unfamiliar information was constantly emerging.
Selectively ignoring those strange things, Yu Qi focused his attention on Zhongli. Recalling the scene he had seen before, his brows slightly frowned again.
'That piece of land, at first glance, seems to be a whole, but if you look closely, it seems to be made up of three different essences. Only one of them belongs to itself, and the others are just blessings brought by some external objects.
The feeling I get from facing the world directly is actually because the essence of a certain power in it is closely related to the world. That's good, that's good!'
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhongli was really an existence whose essence was comparable to the world, then he would almost wonder if he had run into the ultimate boss of the entire Teyvat!
Even if he draws ten cards a day and gets one star, he shouldn't be so unreasonable, right?
"But, that chaotic sound always feels like it's praying for something... What? Is that the prayer of his followers?"
Suddenly realizing something, Yu Qi's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air in his heart: "Nimma, could Zhongli be the real body or incarnation of a god?"
Considering that this is the Liyue region, according to Xiangling, there is only one god, the Rock God, Rock King Emperor Morax...
"Well, you didn't run into the world's ultimate boss, but you ran into the regional lord boss, right?"
After complaining in his heart, of course, Yu Qi didn't really think that he was so unlucky to run into the Rock King Morax. In his opinion, Zhongli's identity was most likely a subordinate god of the Rock God, but his existence had always been unknown.
Isn't this how it's written in novels? An old grandfather with great strength and status meets the talented protagonist. He is so eager to learn from his talent that he conceals his identity and begins to teach him secretly.
'Hiss, if that's the case, then this Walnut Hall Master might have adopted the template of a heroine. Tsk tsk, she's almost like Xiangling, whose pet is an amnesiac boss and whose master is a hermit immortal!
In addition, there is Bai Zhu, a doctor who made great aspirations and silently practiced them, and Yan Fei, a second-generation immortal with extraordinary blood, intelligence and hard work...'
He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand, and took this opportunity to secretly stuff a coffee candy and a blood-recovery pill into his mouth. While chewing, Yu Qi couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Is Liyue the center of the world? Why are there so many people who have taken the protagonist's script?"
Not knowing the mess in Yu Qi's mind, Zhongli stopped and looked at Hall Master Hu who seemed a little embarrassed.
"It should be so." Shaking his head slightly, Zhongli glanced at everyone present with a soothing look. When he saw Yu Qi and Alicia, his gaze paused slightly, and a meaningful look flashed in his eyes.
"I was indeed drinking tea and listening to opera at the Heyu Teahouse before. However, there was such a big commotion here. I have sharp ears and heard from passers-by passing by the teahouse downstairs that the commotion was related to the hall master.
From a universal point of view, as a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, I have no choice but to fulfill my responsibility in this regard."
"Oh, I get it, here you go again, you're going to lecture me again!" Hu Tao shook her head irritably, and helplessly: "You, you look so young, but why do you speak like an old man even more than my grandfather!
Really, I thought I would no longer be lectured by my grandfather when I grew up, but now you are here again!"
"You are wrong, Master. I am a guest official and was entrusted by Mr. Hu to look after you before his death." Waving his hands, Zhongli lowered his gaze, his deep eyes showing no emotion. "Contract matters cannot be taken lightly, but I am ultimately responsible for your safety."
"Okay, okay, you are right, I can't argue with you, okay!"
"Really? Whenever I bring this up, you use my grandfather to pressure me."
Even so, Hu Tao still walked obediently to Zhong Li's side, put her hands on her hips and turned around in front of him: "Look, I'm fine this time!"
"The master has misunderstood." Looking at Hu Tao jumping and running away from him, Zhongli seemed to have some helplessness and smiled bitterly. He sighed and said, "I have heard about the things here from passers-by on the way here. Naturally, I am not worried about the safety of the master."
"Then why are you here? Oh, I know!" Hu Tao clapped his hands suddenly, his eyes brightened: "You must have finally been moved by my perseverance and finally understood the painstaking efforts of my efforts!
So you decided to help this hall master, work together to catch Qiqi and send her to the afterlife?! Am I right? "
"..." Upon hearing this, Zhongli, Yu Qi, and Yan Fei, who were present, couldn't help but raise their hands to support their foreheads, feeling helpless.
As one of the parties involved, Qiqi shrank timidly into Alicia's arms, holding her arms to block in front of her, leaving only a pair of purple-red eyes exposed, staring intently at Yu Qi's back.
There was an indescribable sense of security in his eyes, as if as long as this person was there, he wouldn't have to worry about being captured by Hu Tao. Of course, when he occasionally looked at Hu Tao, there was still fear and resistance in his eyes.
Seeing this situation, Alicia pouted. She was clearly the one protecting her, but she was looking at Yu Qi with such trust.
She reached out and rubbed Qiqi's cheek in annoyance. It felt cold, completely different from the touch of Grayshu in the past. Alicia couldn't let it go. She soon became immersed in the pleasure of stroking zombies and couldn't extricate herself.
On the other hand, perhaps because he understood that there were so many people here that he could not do anything to Qiqi, or perhaps he was really just joking, although Hu Tao spoke loudly, he did not take any actual action.
Instead, he looked at Qiqi's frightened expression with a smile, and put on an expression of "this is really interesting". When he saw Qiqi occasionally looking at him, he deliberately made a face at her.
Looking at Qiqi carefully shrinking back into Ailiya's arms, revealing an extremely happy look, Yu Qi's mouth twitched.
"Gan, this guy is not a fun person, right?"
Fortunately, perhaps Zhongli who was standing by couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Master, please stop joking. By the way, I heard someone in the hall say earlier that you had something important to deal with today, so why would you be here playing with little Qiqi?"
"Is this..."
Chapter 48: Yu Qi and the Gods' First Encounter
“That!” When Zhongli asked this, Hu Tao suddenly clapped his hands as if he had suddenly realized something and exclaimed, “Oh, I would have forgotten it if you hadn’t told me.”
"It's all your fault, Zhongli Keqing. If you hadn't suddenly come out to cause trouble, how could I have forgotten such an important matter!"
As she spoke, completely ignoring Zhongli's helpless look as he held his forehead with his hands, Hu Tao turned her head and looked fiercely at Yu Qi.
"Mr. Yu Qi, right?"
"Ah? Something's wrong?" Tilting his head, Yu Qi asked while peeling the bubble orange that Alicia had just handed over.
As a result, just after he broke off a piece of orange peel and put it in his mouth, Alicia reached out her hand quietly, took away all the remaining oranges openly, and then divided them equally with Yanfei and Qiqi.
Yu Qi looked helplessly at the apple that was stuffed into his hand again, sighed, moved his fingertips, and the grass elemental power that had just recovered condensed into a sharp leaf blade, and in a few swishes he peeled off the apple skin completely.
Then, he turned his hand and stuffed it in front of him.
"Ah~" Hu Tao jumped in front of Yu Qi, leaned over and was about to speak, but her mouth was suddenly filled with apples. She stammered and couldn't speak.
"If you want to say something like 'you will be in danger of bloodshed', please don't say a word, Hall Master Hu." Shaking his head, he peeled three more apples with a flick of his fingers and handed them to Zhongli, Yan Fei and Alicia respectively. Then, Yu Qi took out a cup of Zhuoyin spring water mixed with 'Yuan Yang Dan' from the inventory.
He handed it to Qiqi, whose eyes were slightly bright. Last night, before going to bed, he took the time to throw the Zhuoyin Spring into the backyard, and stored a large amount of mixed spring water in the inventory, just so that he could feed her water at any time when Qiqi came to his house.
"Master Hu, you can see that I'm going to open my shop in two days. You're telling me now that there's going to be a bloody disaster. Doesn't that mean something's bound to happen on the day I open my shop? That's a bit too much!"
"As for the business of the Wangsheng Hall, the previous family package was just a joke. If Master Hu really wants it that much, just apply for one for me."
"Crack~" He bit down hard with his teeth, and the crispy flesh exploded in his mouth. The white apple juice slid down the corners of his lips, leaving a shallow mark of water on Walnut's chin.
Hu Tao swallowed the apple in his mouth suddenly, holding the apple with a big bite taken out of it, and looked at Yu Qi with a look that was not angry but rather particularly strange.
"As for business, forget it. Instead of handling the reservation for you, I might as well go find a newborn baby and convince him to make the reservation. At least if I'm lucky, I can actually complete the deal.
If it were you guys..."
Hu Tao pouted and bit the apple with a crunching sound, enjoying the meal. However, his eyes turned to the house behind Yu Qi: "As for the fortune-telling and the bloody disaster... You don't really think that this hall master is deceiving you, do you?"
"Ah?" After a moment's pause, Yu Qi became hesitant when he saw that Hu Tao had apple juice all over his face but looked extremely serious.
He subconsciously looked up to the other side and saw Zhongli, who was also looking up at the house behind him.
As if noticing Yu Qi's inquiring look, Zhongli slowly withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly at Yu Qi.
"Although the Hall Master is usually eccentric and likes to do some, um... unconventional things, when it comes to matters of life and death, the Hall Master is still honest and sincere and will not joke about it."
Hearing this, Yu Qi's expression became serious. She could still take Hu Tao's words as a joke, but if it was Zhongli, a being who looked like a god, who said this, then she really had to pay attention!
Not only him, Yan Fei couldn't help but change color at this time. He looked at Zhongli nervously, and then looked at Yu Qi.
"Brother Yu, how about... let's go find grandma. She will definitely have a way to solve your problem!" Yan Fei had naturally heard about the abilities of Zhongli, the guest official from the Wangsheng Hall. Since even he had spoken, she could not take it lightly no matter what.
Even Qiqi put down the cup in her hand, looked up at Yu Qi, and said softly: "If you need it, Qiqi can help. Qiqi can't fight, but Qiqi knows a little medical skills. Qiqi, you can also call Mr. Bai to help!"
Only Alicia seemed to notice something. She turned her head to look at the house behind her, with a slight smile on her lips.
Seeing how nervous everyone was because of Zhongli's words, Hu Tao at the side couldn't help but twist her face. After glaring at him, she bit the apple hard in angrily, as if this thing was Zhongli.
"Haha, everyone, there's no need to be so nervous." As he spoke, Zhongli casually handed his apple to Hu Walnut, who only had an apple core left in his hand, and walked to Yu Qi.
His body stiffened slightly, and then slowly relaxed. Being so close to a being that looked like a god, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
