Succubus Star Sister, but the original god

"Yes, although the hall master always makes friends as he pleases, he never makes bad friends." Zhongli is still very relieved in this regard. Those who have a good relationship with Hu Tao, such as Xingqiu, Chongyun, Xiangling, etc., are not bad kids.

Hu Tao himself knew it clearly, so he felt very relieved about the girl.

"It's a pity that the ceremony of inviting the immortals that she wanted to watch will disappoint her." Grandma Ping sighed and turned to look at Zhongli.

She could understand Zhongli's thoughts, but she was worried about how the matter would develop.

Although she has lived in Liyue Harbor for who knows how many years and has a deep understanding of the people of Liyue, she still feels worried.

"Well...but sending the immortal ceremony should not disappoint her." Zhongli pondered for a long time, and then said slowly.

"You really are..." Grandma Ping laughed twice, not knowing what to say.

No one would give something to himself.

Chapter 16: Inauguration Gift

Turning back from Yujingtai, Xing and Walnut headed further south.

They had seen most of the things worth seeing in the north, but they had not yet been to the port in the south.

"Speaking of which, Walnut." Xing slowed down his pace and turned to look at the house next to him with its door closed.

“Is this place closed all the time?”

The plaque on the door read "Yanshang Tea House", and it looked like a teahouse. Xing and Ying had passed by here once before when they went to Wanmin Hall for dinner.

At that time, the shops on both sides of the street were bustling with activity, except for this teahouse, which had its door closed, so Xing had some impression of this place.

At the time I thought maybe it was temporarily closed for some reason, but when I passed by again it didn't seem like that.

"Here..." Hu Tao paused slightly, and the expression on her face became a little complicated.

"This place only opens at night." Hu Tao said to her in a low voice.

"At night?" Xing was a little confused.

If you drink too much tea, you won't be able to sleep. If it was a pub opening at night, she could understand it, but why a teahouse?

"This is not a teahouse, how can I put it." Hu Tao hesitated for a moment, then moved closer to Xing and stood on tiptoe.

After some whispering, Xing suddenly realized.

Simply put, this is a casino in disguise.

No wonder it opens at night.

"Don't go in there just because you're curious. It's very dangerous." Hu Tao looked at Xing's slightly red earlobe and was a little dazed for a moment, but still gave the reminder without changing her expression.

Nine out of ten times you will lose in gambling, this is an eternal truth. Moreover, Yanshang Tea House has also encountered some changes now. The previous owner has been purged and the current owner is a very dangerous woman.

Hu Tao heard some rumors. Although she didn't know much, she knew that this was not a place for serious people to come.

"Actually, if I think about it, the people here might be better customers for me than the adventurers."

"I think so too." Xing nodded in agreement.

She actually didn't have much interest in this place, especially after knowing the nature of it.

After looking up at the closed door of the Yanshang Tea House again, Xing and Walnut started walking towards the port again.

Shortly after they left, the window on the second floor of Yanshang Tea House slowly opened, and a figure was leaning against the window, with a pair of beautiful eyes staring at the direction where the two of them left.

"Lord Ye Lan..." A man and a woman slowly came to the man's side and bowed.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will keep an eye on it myself." The woman called Ye Lan said slowly.

"Yes." The two of them bowed again and then left.

Soon, Ye Lan was the only one left in front of the window on the second floor.

"What an interesting girl, no wonder Ningguang pays so much attention to her..." Ye Lan murmured in a low voice.

Although she couldn't explain what was so interesting about it, she just felt that way subconsciously.

Having said that, anyone who is targeted by Ningguang is not simple. Those who are targeted by Ningguang and require Ningguang to send her to investigate are even more extraordinary.

Although the girl hasn't done anything special yet, the first time Ye Lan saw her, she had a premonition that she might do something big in Liyue in the future.

As for whether this so-called "big thing" is a good thing or a bad thing...Ye Lan couldn't say.

In short, don't alert the enemy for now, just keep watching.

(Note: In fact, Ye Lan entered the Rock Teahouse after the Osel Crisis. For the sake of convenience, it has been slightly modified here)

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

Lu Xing recognized the road heading to Liyue Port because Wanmin Hall was on this road and he had been there before.

Going a little further ahead is the Adventurer's Guild. A person who looks exactly like Catherine is standing in front of the counter... No, that seems to be Catherine.

Xing had observed carefully before and found that Catherine was just a highly intelligent puppet.

It seems that the Adventurer's Guild has arranged an identical Catherine in every country.

The port is very busy, with a constant stream of ships and all kinds of vendors, but compared to the harbor, there is not much worth visiting.

Walnut just took her for a brief tour, asked the crew about some news about the Southern Cross Fleet, and promoted the services of the Hall of Rebirth.

Everything was fine at first. The crew generously shared news about the Southern Cross Fleet and said they would be back in a few days.

However, the latter one was a complete failure, and almost no one was willing to listen to Walnut's sales pitch.

No matter how big a discount Walnut offers, there won’t be anyone willing to apply for the services at the Hall of the Dead.

"Really? Why wouldn't you want to face it? It's just a matter of time anyway." Hu Tao complained to Xing with some dissatisfaction.

"Ha, ha ha..." Xing touched his head. To be honest, for people who are going to go out to sea for a long time, walnut's promotion should be very unlucky.

"Forget it, let's go back. It's been so long without us realizing it." Hu Tao looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

It is common for Hu Walnut to fail in sales, and even she herself probably doesn't think she can succeed, so she doesn't take this little thing to heart at all.

The sun has gradually set. I didn’t expect that time would pass so quickly today.

"Well, let's go back." Xing also nodded. After today's trip, she was familiar with most places in Liyue Harbor, and it would be convenient for her to walk around in the future.

Come to think of it, Mondstadt does feel much smaller than Liyue Harbor. It took her a whole day to walk through the main areas of Liyue Harbor, but it wouldn't take that long to walk through Mondstadt.

"Let's go this way." Walnut pointed to another street, "I'll give you a job gift as well."

They just came from the other side, so going back from here means they have opened the entire map.

Xing naturally had no objection, but when it came to gifts...

"Will you give out gifts when you join the Wangsheng Hall?"

"Of course not. This is a personal gift from this hall master to a friend." Walnut said with a smile, and then took Xing's hand directly, "Okay, come with me, let's go pick it out."

"Eh? Wait..." Before Xing could react, he was dragged away by Walnut.

In addition, this street seems to sell various antique porcelain and jewelry. No wonder Walnut said she wanted to pick a gift for her from here.

However, Walnut's target did not seem to be those gorgeous jewelry. She brought Xing to the front of a store.

"Chunxiang Kiln?"

Chapter 17 Ying'er Car

"Welcome... Oh, Master Hu, this is such a rare guest." Ying'er looked at Hu Tao in surprise, and then her attention was quickly attracted by the stars behind Hu Tao.

"This girl should have just come to Liyue recently, right?"

"Oh? How did you know?" Walnut asked curiously.

"If there is such a beautiful girl in Liyue Harbor, how could I have only seen her now?" Ying'er walked in front of Xing with a smile, got closer and observed her carefully.

"What a rare beauty. I can't help myself."

"Um, thank you, thank you." Xing couldn't help but step back, always feeling that the clerk's attitude towards her was weird.

"Hehe, you're right. My best friend is so beautiful that she is as pretty as the moon and flowers, but now she lacks some embellishment." Hu Tao smiled and said to Ying'er.

"Oh~ I understand what Master Hu means." Ying'er nodded, "It just so happens that I still have some goods here."

"What on earth is this place..." Xing looked at the various things displayed in the store, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what kind of store this was.

Speaking of the name, Chunxiang Kiln, could it be a porcelain shop?

"What do you think, girl?" Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Difficult, isn't it a porcelain shop?"

"Of course, but I will also have a side job." Ying'er nodded, then shook her head gently.

"sideline?"

"Yeah, I just stir the flowers to get the juice out. Although this side job is not very prosperous, there are still many women who come to me. I am also ranked among the top private kilns in Liyue Harbor."

“???” Xing’s eyes were full of question marks. She turned her head stiffly and looked at Hu Tao.

I thought maybe she had misunderstood. There shouldn't be such a place in Liyue Harbor. Besides, Hu Tao wouldn't go to such a place to buy a gift for her...

"Yes, it's just what you think." When Hu Tao saw Xing looking at him, he nodded very seriously.

"what?!"

"The ointment made by Miss Ying'er is indeed very popular in Liyue Harbor." Hu Tao added with a sly smile on her face.

She was planning to give her friend a serious gift suitable for girls, so she chose Chunxiang Kiln.

In addition, there was also a slight thought of playing a prank. After all, Ying'er's car was famous throughout Liyue, and almost every guest who came would be made blushing by her.

Although Xing only looked a little embarrassed and not particularly ashamed, it did not achieve the effect she had imagined.

It’s still a pity…

"Oh, it turns out to be ointment." Xing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly.

"What else? Could the girl have misunderstood it as something else?" Ying'er asked with a smile.

"No, how could there be a misunderstanding? I understand it at first glance." Xing said quickly.

Judging from Ying'er's behavior, she must be a habitual offender. She might often use these words that can be easily misunderstood to make others happy.

Fortunately, Xing is experienced and won't react too much to verbal teasing. At most, he will feel a little embarrassed.

"Okay, Miss Ying'er, please take out the ointment and let us see it." Walnut immediately said to Ying'er again.

"Okay, come and have a look. This is something I've just learned recently." Ying'er turned around and took out some ointments.

These ointments are the gifts that Walnut intends to give to Xing.

"What do you think, Xing? Is there anything you like?" Hu Tao asked Xing.

"This..." Xing knew nothing about these things. She had never used them before.

She picked one up at random, smeared some on her hands and smelled it.

It is the scent of some kind of flower, light and not particularly strong, but smells very nice.

This one looks good, as for the others...

Xing tried each one, but in the end, she felt that her nose was no longer working.

Why do I feel like each one tastes almost the same?

"Forget it, let you help me choose, Hu Tao." Xing shook his head and gave the choice to Hu Tao.

"Let me do it? Then..." Hu Tao also touched her chin and thought seriously. She also smelled it when Xing was trying it just now, so there was no need to try them again one by one.

"This Miss Xing has a charming fragrance on her body. I think it would be better to choose one that can complement her." Ying'er saw that both of them seemed a little confused, so she reminded with a smile.

"Huh? Really?" Hu Tao was slightly stunned, then moved closer to Xing and sniffed her little nose.

"Hu, Hu Tao..." When Xing saw this scene, he immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly took a step back.

She had a scent on her body, and she knew it herself. Perhaps it was due to her constitution.

Therefore, any woman who smelled her fragrance would have some problems. She was really shocked that Hu Tao took action without even thinking.
