Succubus Star Sister, but the original god

"Let's go out to eat. There aren't any great chefs in Wangsheng Hall." Hu Tao answered without thinking.

Although it is simple to make boiled fish with shrimp dumplings, this kind of food may not be something that celebrities can get used to.

"But you..." Xing looked at Walnut's legs hesitantly.

"It's okay. It won't be a problem if we walk slowly."

"it is good."

-

If you don't look closely, you can't tell there's anything wrong with the way Hu Tao walks.

It was only after careful observation that Xing discovered that Hu Tao walked a little awkwardly.

However, for Hu Tao, who is always lively and walks with a breeze, walking so slowly is quite rare.

If you meet someone acquaintance of Walnut on the road, he might find this very strange.

Fortunately, Hu Tao doesn't have many friends, and some people who are not so familiar with Hu Tao don't care about these little things, and just think that Master Hu is in a bad mood today.

The two of them came all the way to Wanmin Hall, but unexpectedly they met Ying and Paimeng here.

It looked like they had just ordered their food and hadn't started eating yet.

"Ah, it's Xing and Walnut!" Paimon quickly waved to the two of them.

Hu Tao also quickly pulled Xing over.

The two sat opposite them.

"Wow, it actually feels different." Kurumi was the first to speak to Ying.

This morning, Xing told her that after they had done it, the feeling would be obviously different when she met other people who had had intimate relationships with her, and it would be easy to tell them apart.

"Yeah, everyone will be like this after that." Ying also nodded with a smile. She also had a different feeling towards Kurumi.

Then she looked at Xing again and winked at her playfully.

"What's the different feeling?" Paimon asked curiously.

"Nothing, I just felt that Ying became a lot friendlier after one night." Hu Tao waved her hand and casually changed the subject.

"Come to think of it, didn't you say that you encountered an important commission and wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow?" Xing couldn't help but ask Ying.

Although she knew that Ying did not come back last night to create conditions for her to conquer Hu Tao.

But since Ying said so, it is probably not a random excuse. It must be a troublesome commission.

"Alas, we originally just accepted a small commission in Liyue Harbor." Paimon sighed helplessly, and spoke listlessly about the matter.

"It is said that the water source of Feiyunpo is polluted. Yujingtai has already sent professionals to solve the problem, but the source of pollution has not been found, so a commission was issued to the Adventurer's Association." Ying also added.

Ying could use the convenient skill of elemental vision, and thought she was pretty good at finding things, so she accepted the commission.

"And then?" Walnut asked curiously.

"The source of pollution has indeed been found, but..." Ying's voice lowered, she looked around, and then spoke slowly.

"The source of the pollution is a highly decomposed female corpse!"

Chapter 23: Xing, Don't Let Walnut Lead You astray

"Ah?!" Xing was very surprised. Fortunately, her exclamation was not very loud, otherwise it would have attracted so many people in the Wanmin Hall.

"It's true, it's scary..." Paimeng said with lingering fear.

Although Ying covered her eyes in time, she still took a curious glance after the body was salvaged by the Qianyan Army and covered with a white cloth.

Even though it was covered with a white cloth, because the body had been soaked in water for a long time, the skin had become soft and swollen, and the size of the white cloth was not large, so that glance still left a very deep psychological trauma on Paimon.

Even Paimon, who was always a gourmet, didn’t eat dinner last night.

Fortunately, Paimon adjusted quickly and was able to almost regain his normal appetite this morning.

"Female corpse..." Hu Tao frowned slightly and asked quickly, "How did she die? Do you know her identity?"

She had heard about the water pollution in Feiyunpo before, but she didn't take it too seriously because the water used by Wangsheng Hall was independent of the Feiyunpo land.

I didn’t expect the cause of water pollution to be so shocking.

"No, we just discovered it yesterday. The Qianyan Army is now investigating." Ying shook her head.

The body was so severely decomposed that it was impossible to identify the features, but fortunately some of the clothes on the body were still left. With these things, we should be able to find his family soon and eventually determine his identity.

"However, I didn't see any obvious external injuries at the time, so he must have died of drowning..."

Although the corpse was in a state of disarray due to being soaked for so long, Ying used more than just her eyes to observe the corpse.

If there was any external injury, she should be able to feel it clearly.

"I see... It seems I have to prepare when I get back." Hu Tao held her chin with both hands, thinking silently.

Since he died in Liyue Harbor, or even in a place like Feiyunpo, the funeral would most likely be handled by her. There was no other place in Liyue that could hold funerals within this area.

Business is coming to the door, but for Hu Tao, this kind of business is not a very happy thing.

Even though Hu Tao often promotes the services of the Hall of the Dead to all kinds of people all day long, she still hopes that most people can die of old age.

She faced death with a calm mind and was very open-minded, but she still had an instinctive pity for those who died suddenly.

Especially when it comes to death by drowning, it is really hard for people to calm down. Not to mention anything else, the burial of the body is a big problem.

Of course, now that she knew the news, she could make some preparations in advance.

"Yujingtai hasn't made this public yet, but I guess they'll post a notice soon."

Yujingtai will definitely be more rigorous and find some coroners to perform an autopsy and look for the family members.

"But let's change the topic. We are still eating." Ying couldn't help but sighed and then said.

These things shouldn't be discussed at the dinner table.

Moreover, she was the first person to discover the body. Thinking back to the scene yesterday, she still felt a little nauseous.

"makes sense."

"The hot steamed buns you ordered are here... Hey? Aren't these Hu Tao and Xing?" Xiang Ling walked over with the dishes, with a look of surprise on her face.

It is normal and understandable that Xing appears here, but when did Walnut get involved with them?

"Hello, Xiangling." Hu Tao's face froze at first, but she soon smiled and greeted her.

Thinking about the dish Xiangling asked her to try before, she still felt disgusted.

She thought this might be Xiangling's revenge for her prank, but this time she came with Xing and Ying, so Xiangling shouldn't ask her to taste the food again...

"Why are you with Xing and the others?" Xiangling put down the dish in her hand and asked Hutao curiously.

"Well, it's a bit complicated..." Hu Tao stroked his chin, thinking about how to explain it to Xiang Ling.

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

"I see. So, Xing, you are also an employee of Wangsheng Hall now?" Xiangling also moved a chair and sat at their table.

There are still quite a few people in the Hall of Rebirth, but not many people are coming anymore, after all, it is almost past dinner time.

Now her father can handle it alone, so she doesn't have to help, so it's okay to take a break for a while.

"Is that so..." Xing nodded hesitantly, although she felt that she had not done anything that an employee of the Wangsheng Hall should do.

"Of course, I am very satisfied with yesterday's work." Walnut nodded and said something incomprehensible.

"Cough..." Xing couldn't help but cough lightly and lowered his head silently.

"Hmm... the job you're talking about isn't going to be the one that involves soliciting people on the street to sell Wangsheng Hall's meal packages, right?" Xiangling thought for a moment, then asked Hutao with some suspicion.

After all, it is obviously unlikely for someone like Xing who has no basic knowledge to do those professional jobs, and it requires a lot of time to train.

And she hadn't heard about any work at Hu Tao recently, so the most likely possibility was that it was still the work that Hu Tao usually did.

She found it hard to imagine Xing and Walnut selling the second monument of the Hall of Rebirth at half price.

"Don't lead Xing astray." Xiangling couldn't help but say.

"What? I didn't. Besides, Xing is a bad person..." Hu Tao quickly shook her head and said the rest in a very low voice.

"Haha...don't worry, Xiangling. Hu Tao just took me to visit Liyue Harbor yesterday." Xingye laughed dryly twice, then explained to Xiangling.

"That's good. Kurumi always comes up with some weird ideas to promote the services of the Wangsheng Hall, which causes trouble for many people."

"What? If others can use it, why can't I use it?" Hu Tao muttered in a low voice with some dissatisfaction.

"But there's no need to promote it now, as business will come to us soon."

"Oh? Has Wangsheng Hall received any commissions recently?" Xiangling asked curiously.

"Not recently, but there should be one soon." Walnut shook his head and said.

"Well, we were just discussing this matter. The cause of the water pollution in Feiyunpo was a female corpse."

"Female corpse!?" Xiangling's voice was not well controlled and was obviously much louder than Xing's. Everyone in Wanmin Hall turned their eyes over.

Chapter 24: I will contact you in person when I have time [Additional update]

After finishing their meal at Wanmin Hall, Xing and his group went to Feiyunpo together.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing else to do today. Hu Tao has to go back to Wangsheng Hall to continue resting for some unexplainable reasons, and she also has to start preparing for possible future work.

As for Xing and Ying, after sending Hu Tao back home, they went to the rented house next door and received the bed.

This was specially made for Hu Walnut and has just been delivered.

Originally, they just wanted to buy one set to make do with, but Hu Tao had two sets specially made using the finest wood.

He said that even if they left in the future, he could still stay here if he had nothing to do.

Although Xing didn't quite understand why Hu Tao didn't plan to use this room to store the coffin, after all, they were only staying there temporarily, so it was not easy for her to say anything about Hu Tao's decision.

Anyway, these two large beds, which look pretty good, and a complete set of matching bedding have been delivered.

In fact, if there were only two of them, one set of beds would be enough, but unfortunately there was Paimon, so they still had to sleep in separate rooms.

Although there is no problem in this, she just needs to wait until Paimon falls asleep and then go to find Xing. Paimon goes to bed early every day.

"Just put it here. Thank you, masters." Ying directed several workers to put the bed in the appropriate position.

"Okay, Hall Master Hu has already paid the wages. If you don't have any other requests, we brothers will take our leave first." The burly middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, then bowed to Ying and said.

The workers in Liyue are all very busy. They do all kinds of work, especially this kind of purely physical work, and they have a lot of orders.

"Well, thank you all."

After seeing off a few workers, Ying returned to the house and went straight to Xing's room.

The bed in her room had already been made, and Paimon was lying on the soft big bed with his eyes closed.

"Could he have fallen asleep?" Ying raised her eyebrows when she saw this, walked to the bed, bent down and reached out to poke Paimon's chubby cheek.

It was very elastic and Ying couldn't help but press it a few more times.

Paimon just frowned, then turned over, and seemed to have no intention of opening his eyes.

It looked like he was really asleep, and sleeping very soundly.

"It became like this not long after you lay down." Xing shrugged and said in a low voice.

Maybe it’s because I ate too much at noon?

"It seems that he ate too much." Ying nodded and made the same guess as Xing.

Yesterday, both Ying and Paimon lost their appetite because of seeing the corpse.

Ying is okay, after all, she has a lot of experience and her appetite is not big.

But Paimon couldn't do that. Her young mind couldn't bear such a shock.

She didn't eat much last night and this morning, and only recovered at noon today. Even though they talked about this at the dinner table at noon, it didn't affect her appetite much.
