She covered her mouth with her hands, tears had filled her eyes since she didn't know when.
"Grandpa...Grandpa?"
The 75th head of Wangsheng Hall and Hu Tao’s grandfather. Hu Tao’s parents passed away when she was very young, and she grew up with her grandfather.
But when she was a teenager, her grandfather left Hu Tao forever.
Although the first thing people in the Hall of the Rebirth have to learn is to let go of death, Hu Tao just can't let go of her grandfather's death.
"Thank you. Although I know that none of this is true, I am still very grateful that you let me see these memories that I have almost forgotten."
Kurumi took a deep breath, wiped away the tears that had already welled up in her eyes, and then spoke seriously.
She was speaking to the thing that had pulled her into this place.
As she finished speaking, she formed a strange seal with her fingers. This was the calming seal passed down from the Wangshengtang family, which had the power to break through obstacles and remove confusion.
"Break it open."
Kurumi said softly, and then gently closed her eyes. She wanted to remember the figure just now in her mind again.
After all, so many years have passed, and even the most profound memories will be shrouded in a haze.
"Girl, what are you thinking about? Today is your big day, why are you dressed like this?"
Old Hu put down the spatula in his hand, untied his apron, and patted Hu Tao on the head.
"what?"
This time Hu Tao was so confused that he pointed at his nose.
"Huh? My big day? With whom? And, Grandpa, why are you wearing Master Mao's clothes?"
Hearing this, Lao Hu's face changed and he put his hand on Hu Tao's forehead.
"You don't even have a fever, why are you so stupid? Wanmin Hall is our family's property, where else can I be if I'm not here?"
The Walnut people were all dumbfounded.
"Wanmin Hall is our family's property? What about Wangsheng Hall?"
"What is the Hall of Rebirth? Oh, go change your clothes. Li Pan is coming to marry you soon. It's such a happy occasion. Is it appropriate to wear black?"
After saying that, Lao Hu hurriedly pushed Hu Tao into her room.
"I...Wanmin Hall is my family's property. Wangsheng Hall is gone? Boss Li still wants to marry me?"
Being pushed into the room, Hu Tao looked at the bright red dress hanging in front of the mirror, and opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in.
"Why would I have such a dream?"
He shook his head quickly, covering his forehead with his hands, wanting to cry but without the tears.
"Also, why can't the Calming Seal break this dream?"
Strange things happen every year, especially this year.
"Because this is not an ordinary dream."
At this moment, a steady female voice came into Hu Tao's ears.
"Who?"
Suddenly, Walnut jumped up like a cat with its fur standing on end.
After all, this place is weird in itself, and now a strange sound suddenly came from my ears. Who wouldn't be scared when coming here?
"It's me, the crystal lamp spirit."
That steady voice sounded again, and at the same time, an illusory crystal lamp fire spirit appeared in front of Walnut, but Walnut did not let down her guard.
"You said you are the crystal lamp spirit, so you are it? How do you prove it?"
Hearing Walnut's doubts, the crystal lamp spirit sighed helplessly.
"Before you came, you were afraid that there would be problems if no one was guarding the Wangsheng Hall, but you were also afraid that leaving me and Ye Kulou in the Wangsheng Hall would cause problems, so you left Tou Yu Xiao in the Wangsheng Hall. And because no one can see Tou Yu Xiao when he is sleeping, there is no need to worry about being rude even if he falls asleep while talking about something."
After hearing the voice accurately describe the arrangements made before coming here, Hu Tao finally confirmed the identity of the crystal lamp spirit.
"Then how come you can speak? And what do you mean this isn't an ordinary dream?"
Hu Tao had a lot of questions at this time, and he asked them all at once.
"You have too many questions. I will answer them one by one. This is a dream, but it is mixed with other things, so it is not a complete dream. Because this is a dream, I can talk to you, but because it is not a complete dream, I cannot use my power to intervene here. I can only give you some information help."
"As for why I can speak, it's because this is a dream. I can say whatever I want."
Listening to the words of the crystal lamp spirit, Walnut didn't know what to say.
"That's fine, but why would I have such a dream? Wangsheng Hall is gone, Wanmin Hall is now owned by my family, and why would I marry Boss Li?"
Now, it was the crystal lamp spirit's turn to be silent.
After a long time, the uncertain voice of the crystal lamp spirit was heard.
"From a common sense perspective, the disappearance of the Hall of Rebirth might be because this place brought you too much of a burden, so that you subconsciously wanted it to disappear in your dream. As for why you married Boss Li... Is it possible that this was an O dream?"
Hu Tao was stunned. After a while, he finally understood what the O dream meant. He immediately became so angry that his face turned red.
"You are the one who has an O dream! Go and have an O dream! Also, why is Boss Li the protagonist of my 0 dream? Damn, I don't have an O dream!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Girl, have you changed your clothes? Lord Li Pan will be here soon, so don't do anything weird."
Lao Hu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Oh, I see. It will be ready soon. It will be ready soon!"
Hu Tao was so frightened that she shivered and shouted loudly, then looked anxiously at the big red wedding dress hanging on the wall.
"Crystal Lamp Spirit, please think of a solution quickly. I'm not really going to get married, am I?"
This is really the first time for Hu Tao to get married. Anyone would be panicked if they encountered such a thing.
"From a common sense perspective, I think you should go meet Boss Li. After all, this is your O dream. In your subconscious, you believe that Boss Li is trustworthy, so Boss Li is the protagonist of O dream. In this case, why not seek Boss Li's help."
The crystal lamp spirit spoke in a calm tone, as if it was talking about something insignificant.
"It's easy for you to say that. This is a marriage. If this matter gets out, how can I face people in the future?"
Hu Tao was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Don't worry about it. This is just your dream. Everything that happens here is known only to you and me, and no one else will know."
After hearing what the crystal lamp spirit said, Hu Tao finally felt relieved and put on the wedding dress hanging on the wall with hesitation.
I have to say, this wedding dress seems to be exactly the style in her dreams, and every detail of the design is in line with her preferences.
This product, which fit her like a dream, made Hu Tao even more certain that this was a dream.
"By the way, why are you learning to talk like that Zhongli guy?"
While putting on her clothes, Kurumi chatted with the crystal lamp spirit.
"Don't you think the way Zhongli Keqing speaks is very unique?"
Walnut was speechless about this.
"what!"
Liyue Harbor, the new Pokémon home has finally taken shape with the help of Keqing and Tudiyun.
Li Pan also took advantage of the break to find a shaded spot and lay down on a rocking chair to take a nap.
But before he had slept for long, he let out a scream and sat up from his rocking chair, startling the three mythical beasts that had been playing together in Liyue for a thousand years.
"What's going on? Are there any enemies?"
Rayquaza's eyes suddenly became ferocious, and he took the opportunity to overturn the chessboard that was about to lose.
"No...no, I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was going to marry that ghost woman Kurumi."
Li Pan gasped heavily and waved weakly at the three divine beasts.
"Oh? Miss Walnut? The head of the Wangsheng Hall? The place where Zhongli works?"
Tudiyun's eyes rolled and a gratified smile appeared on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Li Pan lay down and continued to sleep.
........
At this time, Hu Tao, who had already changed into her wedding dress, opened the door and walked out.
Old Hu was standing at the door at this time. When he saw Hu Tao's appearance, his eyes lit up and he gently stroked Hu Tao's head.
"That's right. I didn't expect that my silly girl would be so beautiful after dressing up. Now I am not afraid of those old guys saying that our Hu family is marrying up to Lord Li Pan."
Listening to Old Hu's complaints, Hu Tao's eyebrows jumped. "Grandpa, this Li Pan..."
Of course she couldn't ask about Li Pan's whereabouts directly, so she just looked shy.
Seeing Hu Tao's expression, Lao Hu was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter.
"Okay, my girl knows how to be shy now. Okay, she's finally grown up."
Hu Tao was so tired of complaining that she just didn't know what kind of image she had in the eyes of this old man.
At this time, Lao Hu continued to speak.
"This Lord Li Pan used to sell some small pets in Liyue Harbor in his early years, such as raccoon slaves and dogs. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he even climbed all the way to the position of Kaiyang Star. He became one of the Seven Stars at a young age, and he has not yet married, so he has become a hot commodity in Liyue Harbor. It is said that Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star and Lady Keqing of Yuheng Star once openly pursued Lord Li Pan, but they were all rejected by Lord Li Pan."
As he spoke, Lao Hu smacked his lips and spoke with great interest, as if he was still savoring the gossip just now.
"I don't know how lucky you are to be favored by that master."
After listening to Lao Hu's words, everyone in Hu Tao was dumbfounded.
What is this all about?
Boss Li? He climbed to the position of Liyue Seven Stars at such a young age? And Ningguang and Keqing both openly pursued him?
The impression of Li Pan in Hu Tao's mind was that of a lazy guy who was too lazy to even turn over. He was totally different from the person he is now!
"Grandpa, I think you may have misunderstood something. How could Li Pan be such a person?"
Hu Tao quickly shook his head. This must be a false rumor. Otherwise, how could such a big cognitive misunderstanding occur?
Old Hu was about to refute, but suddenly there was a loud bang of gongs and drums outside. He was startled and hurried to the door to take a look. He found that the sedan chair and the group of people waiting to pick up the bride had already appeared outside.
"Hey, here it comes, girl, put on the veil quickly."
Old Hu quickly grabbed the red veil and covered Hu Tao's head with it.
"Etc., etc……"
Walnut was not even ready yet, but at this moment, the door of Wanmin Hall had already been opened.
A tall figure with a big red flower on his chest stood at the door. It was Li Pan.
"Grandpa, I'm here to pick up Hu Tao to go to the wedding ceremony."
—A serious voice came.
Hearing Li Pan's voice speaking in this tone, Lian frowned in pain under the walnut veil.
This is so incongruous.
"Okay... okay, hurry up, girl, get on the sedan."
Old Hu excitedly took Hu Tao's hand and handed it to Li Pan.
Kurumi didn't know the rest. Covered by the veil, she couldn't see anything. She was busy like a puppet. After being so busy for so long, she almost couldn't feel her legs.
"Hutao... No, Madam, you must be exhausted. Let's go to the bridal chamber and rest first."
At this moment, Li Pan approached her and whispered in Hu Tao's ear. The warm air flow and soft tone beside her ear made Hu Tao's body soften all of a sudden.
"Okay... okay."
Hu Tao didn't know what he was thinking at that time, and he just agreed without thinking.
Afterwards, sitting on the bed in the bridal chamber, Walnut felt numb.
"Hello, hey, is Crystal Lamp Spirit here? What should I do now? I'm not going to get married like this, am I? What is he going to do next?"
Hu Tao was whispering crazily, who could have thought that things would progress so quickly.
