Succubus Star Sister, but the original god

At present, it seems that the Bank of the North has not made any big promises. However, due to its emergence, many local banks in Liyue are almost unable to survive due to bank runs.

"Should we go up and take a look?" asked Walnut.

"Huh? Going to save money?" Xing tilted his head in confusion.

"Of course not. There's more than just one Northland Bank up there. How about we go have some tea and listen to some books?"

After walking around for so long, Hu Tao decided to take a break.

"Okay." Xing nodded. She had no reason to refuse. Besides, when it came to listening to books, she seemed to have only listened to that one passage and was not satisfied yet.

The two of them went up to the second floor.

Just as Hu Tao said, there are quite a few businesses upstairs. The Northland Bank seems to be on the third floor, and the second floor is filled with tea stalls, restaurants and the like.

Just like the place Xing passed by before, there was a small round table in front of the tea stall, with a storyteller standing on it.

"Two cups of tea, please." Hu Tao pulled Xing to find a place to sit down and called out casually.

Most of the people who come here are here to listen to books, and they don’t really care what kind of tea to drink. Basically, they will just shout out casually like Hu Tao.

Of course, there are some rules to follow. For example, the guest at Walnut’s house will specify a certain type of tea, so the charges will naturally be a little higher.

"There are really a lot of people here." Xing looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

Almost every seat in the small tea stall was occupied, and it took them half a day to finally find a place to sit down.

"Yes, listening to storytelling can be said to be the favorite entertainment activity of the people of Liyue." Hu Tao nodded.

In fact, she is not very interested in storytelling.

But after all, I brought Xing here to experience life in Liyue Harbor, so this kind of place certainly can't be missed.

Today the storyteller was telling the story of the Southern Cross Fleet. Everyone listened attentively and it seemed that this story was quite popular.

"It is said that the eldest sister of the Southern Cross is called Beidou. She is three meters tall, with a waist that is ten meters wide. She wears a red dress that looks like a blazing fire, and her single eye is as bright as lightning!"

Listening to the storyteller's description, a large figure with a single eye flashing red light appeared in Xing's mind.

There is actually such a scary character in Liyue Harbor...

"Hey, Xing, that's just an exaggeration. Sister Beidou is not that outrageous." Seeing that Xing seemed to have misunderstood something, Hu Tao hurriedly said.

Beidou is tall, but not thirty meters tall. His waist is ten times wider than his waist, which is even more outrageous.

"Hey? Hutao, do you know this big sister of the Southern Cross Fleet?" Xing asked curiously.

"Of course, Sister Beidou is a celebrity in Liyue Harbor, of course I know her... although she doesn't know me." Hu Tao sighed and leaned on the table with her head supported by her hands.

"I really want to make friends with her~"

"Dear guests, think about it, can this be an ordinary person? Of course not. I will not say any more nonsense, and let me tell you the story of her battle against the demon [Haishan]..." The storyteller continued.

The cause and effect of this story is actually very simple. It is nothing more than that Beidou's fleet set sail but encountered monsters in the sea and mountains, so a war broke out between the two sides.

The storyteller spoke passionately and the crowd enjoyed listening to him very much, cheering "Great!" from time to time.

Although Xing savored this story carefully, he always felt that it did not stand up to scrutiny, especially the image of Beidou in the story.

I don't know why, but it feels like I'm heading in the direction of becoming some kind of giant of light.

Of course, it is normal that most of the story content is fictional, and I guess no one cares much about it.

Finally, the story ends with the words "Stay tuned for the next episode to find out."

This seems to be a common technique used by storytellers. They only tell a certain part of the story and never finish it, so as to attract customers to come back and continue listening.

This feeling of being interrupted makes people feel itchy.

"Although Zhongli never tunes in when listening to stories, every time I go with him, I basically listen to the same old stories. So, this kind of story is still more enjoyable to listen to, right?" Hu Tao took a sip of tea and watched the storyteller leave.

"For me, no matter what kind of story it is, it's still quite fresh, but I really want to meet this Beidou." Xing said with a smile.

The story of Emperor Yan that she had heard before was actually quite good, and Beidou in the story just now really aroused her curiosity.

After all, no matter how exaggerated the story is, it always has a basis in reality.

So the battle between Beidou and Haishan may not be as magnificent as in the story, but it is not necessarily false.

"Sister Beidou, I miss her too, but unfortunately she's been on a sailing trip all year round and doesn't spend much time in Liyue... Eh? Come to think of it, it seems like quite a few fleets have returned recently. Let's go ask around and see what's going on with the Southern Cross." Hu Tao suggested.

Of course, Hu Tao also wanted to get to know someone like Beidou, and based on experience, ocean-going fleets were likely to become her high-quality customers.

"Okay, let's go too, and then go somewhere else."

"okay."

Chapter 13 The psychological shadow is too great

"Oh, it's Big Mi and Second Mi!"

Walnut ran to the two stone lions.

This is Liyue’s General Affairs Department. Xing knew this a little bit as he had passed by here when he went to Liuyue Pavilion for dinner.

The General Affairs Department is in charge of many miscellaneous matters related to people's livelihood. Whether you want to set up a small stall or get a boat out to sea, you need to come here to handle the relevant procedures.

When Xing passed by before, he saw a rickshaw puller queuing here to go through the procedures for pulling a rickshaw.

It looks really busy here.

"Xing, come and see, this is Da Mi, and this is Er Mi." Hu Tao introduced the names of the two stone lions to Xing with a smile.

"Does the General Affairs Department have the habit of naming the stone lions at the door?" Xing walked over curiously and looked up at the two majestic stone lions.

I have seen similar stone lions in Xianzhou before, but that one seemed to be bigger.

"What? This is the name I gave it." Walnut shook his head.

"what?"

"I'm good friends with them. Compared to ordinary cats, Big Mimi and Two Mimi are also very cute, right? It's just that their fur is a little bit harder."

"Uh, cute..." Xing looked at the two stone lions carefully again. It was okay for her to say that they were majestic, but to say that they were cute was somewhat inappropriate.

Walnut's aesthetic taste seems to be different from that of ordinary people.

"But Big Mi and Little Mi have grown up and become independent. They don't need my care anymore." Hu Tao sighed slightly and said with some emotion.

It's like a mother witnessing her child grow up.

But at Hu Tao's age, it is still too early for her to become a mother.

"By the way, what is this board in front of the General Affairs Department used for?" Xing shook his head and tried to change the subject.

Xing had noticed this notice board a long time ago, but had never gone up to take a closer look.

"Well, most of them are neighborhood news or store advertisements. I even posted a promotion for the Hall of the Past Life on it." Walnut walked to Xing's side, raised her head and leaned in front of the bulletin board.

After searching for a long time, he did not find the promotional slogan of the Hall of Rebirth that he had posted before, but he did find some scraps of paper.

"Damn it, someone exposed me again." Hu Tao pouted, feeling a little unhappy.

"Maybe it was just cleaned up regularly." Xing said comfortingly.

"That's impossible. I just put it on the day before yesterday."

"..."

Well, that star has nothing to say.

"In fact, as the most famous funeral institution in Liyue, Wangshengtang should not need to advertise anymore, right?"

"That won't do. Of course the more guests the better. Now that the Wangsheng Hall has been handed over to me, it is naturally my duty to restore its glory." Hu Tao said very seriously.

Although, the glory of the Hall of Rebirth does not need to be restored.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about this, let's go quickly and go for a walk over there." Walnut pointed into the distance.

From here, the scenery there seems to be very good. Through the archway, there are two rows of pavilions and a lotus pond.

Xing nodded and continued walking forward with Kurumi.

The arch is connected to a stone bridge, and there is a fork in the road at the end of the stone bridge.

"Look to the right."

Xing looked up as Walnut had said. There was a large and imposing house, but the style of the exterior looked completely different from the other houses.

It doesn't seem to be an ordinary shop.

"That's Bubulu. People in Liyue rely on this place for medical treatment and medicine."

"Oh~" Xing nodded in understanding, which means this is Liyue's hospital.

No wonder it's so big.

"We...eh?!" Hu Tao didn't finish her words. She seemed to have discovered something suddenly and her appearance changed in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Xing looked in the direction where Hu Tao was looking, puzzled.

There's nothing there... No, there's a blue hat.

Soon, as the owner of the hat moved, the small figure appeared in front of Xing.

---------------------------

What a cute child!

This was the first thought that came to Xing’s mind.

It is about the same size as Diona, but it is a completely different type compared to Diona.

His face was expressionless, his movements were a little slow, and there was a strange talisman paper stuck on his head.

At this moment, this very cute child was hugging her thighs tightly and hiding behind her.

"Qiqi, don't be like this. I gave up on letting you rest in peace a long time ago." Hu Tao squatted down and wanted to talk to Qiqi nicely, but Qiqi didn't listen at all.

She kept changing her position behind Xing to avoid Walnut.

Hu Tao also changed his position, wanting to talk to Qi Qi face to face.

The problem was that Xing, who was sandwiched in the middle, was so stiff that it seemed a little too weird for these two people to be playing hide-and-seek near her legs.

There was really no other way, so Xing had to reach out and pick up Qiqi beside him, then took a few steps back and stayed away from Hu Tao for the time being.

"What's going on?" Xing asked speechlessly, then lifted Qiqi up and placed him in front of him.

Although she looked like just a little kid, Qiqi didn't struggle at all when facing Xing's actions, and her pretty pupils didn't even show any fluctuation.

Qiqi even took the initiative to reach out to Xing.

"Eh? Do you want me to hug you?" Xing said hesitantly, and Qiqi nodded slowly.

In that case, Xingye changed his posture and held Qiqi in his arms.

It's a little cold. The child's body temperature is very low, even so low that he doesn't seem like a normal human being.

Xing frowned slightly, then raised his head and looked at Walnut.

"Qiqi..." Hu Tao walked in front of Xing, but Qiqi shrank into Xing's arms again, her fingers tightly grasping Xing's collar.

"This child seems to be afraid of you. Did you do anything bad to her?" Xing could naturally feel Qiqi's reaction in his arms, and asked Hu Tao with some surprise.

"No, I just wanted to cremate Qiqi before... but I just dug the hole and it didn't work." Hu Tao sighed helplessly and said with his hands spread out.

"...Huh?!" Xing widened his eyes and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

Cremation? !

"Hey, don't look at me like that. Just listen to my explanation!" Hu Tao said quickly when she noticed that Xing's eyes were looking at her strangely.

She once really wanted to cremate Qiqi and let her rest in peace. Every time she saw Qiqi, she would pick her up and leave.

Unfortunately, he was stopped repeatedly by Bai Zhu. After Qiqi reacted, he burst out with a strong desire to survive.

Hu Tao was also touched by this desire to survive, so she seriously investigated Qiqi's past.
