On the contrary, Higashino Yu, who was surprised before, now showed an expression of understanding, obviously he had guessed something.

"It's hard to imagine that even Zhongli can't refuse this person."

Paimon rubbed his head, somewhat unable to understand.

After dealing with Zhongli, she knew what kind of person Zhongli was. He was knowledgeable, but lacked common sense. Sometimes Paimon even thought that this guy was actually a library.

But he never expected that there was someone in this world that even Zhongli couldn't refuse.

After all, she had seen with her own eyes Zhongli using Tartaglia as a wallet.

Is there someone he can't refuse? How terrifying would that person be!

As he imagined, a monster nine feet tall, with muscular body and a pair of terrifying horns appeared in Paimon's mind.

Facing Paimeng's question, Zhongli was very patient. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly thought of something and said directly: "Instead of me telling you, why don't you come and see her in person? This way, you may be able to better understand what I mean."

"Hmm? Feel it yourself?"

Hearing this, Paimon stroked his chin and looked like he was thinking.

Just when she was about to infer something from Zhongli's words.

"Clap!"

An arm suddenly rested on her shoulders.

710. Girl Walnut

Oh, don't bother me! Dongye, what's the matter?

Paimon subconsciously looked at Higashino Yuu.

Because no one would touch her except Higashino Yuu.

However, this look was amazing.

Because at this moment, whether it was Higashino Yu, Ying or Zhongli, all three of them were sitting quietly in their seats without any movement, and all three of them were looking at him.

No, to be precise, it is behind me.

For a moment, Paimeng thought of all the ghost stories that Higashino Yu told her at night.

For example, when she was walking on an empty street, she suddenly heard footsteps similar to hers behind her.

For example, when you are walking at a fork in the road and suddenly can’t get out, I heard that this is called a ghost wall.

Her neck clicked like a mechanical gear as she looked back.

Then a milky white ghost face and a crisp strange cry sounded in my ears.

"Wow!!!!"

Looking at the translucent, ghost-like thing in front of her, Paimeng couldn't bear it anymore and screamed loudly. Then she hid behind Higashino You and Ying, covering her eyes and trembling her body, as if the other party couldn't see her as long as she couldn't see the other party.

"Dongye, hurry up and use your magical power to defeat it, it's a ghost!"

Paimon shouted and trembled.

"What kind of Doraemon statement are you making!"

Looking at Paimon who was lying on his back, Higashino You rolled his eyes.

I shouldn't have told her the story of Doraemon, and I shouldn't have said that every time Big Bear would say, "Doraemon, hurry up and use your magical props to help me."

"Hehe, sorry to scare you, but I'm not a ghost. I'm the 77th head of the Wangsheng Hall, Walnut."

Amid the flickering firelight, a girl wearing a black bagua tracksuit, with glowing white skin, long hair, and a pair of plum blossom eyes like a naughty deer, clasped her hands together and kept apologizing to Higashino Yuu and Paimon.

"I'm sorry, but I thought that big shots like you would have seen a lot and wouldn't be scared."

After apologizing, looking at Paimon who still only had half of his head exposed and looked nervous, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and apologized sincerely again.

Seeing her appearance, Higashino You shook his head in amusement.

He was quite familiar with the girl in front of him who was teased as Fire A by everyone.

The most famous among them is the Hu Xing Zhong Ye group.

He shook his head slightly at this.

"Ying and I are fine. We weren't scared by you, so you just need to apologize to Paimon."

Paimon is Higashino Yu's friend, but he would not take his anger out on him over a prank, especially since he knows the other person's identity.

The 77th head of Liyue's "Hall of the Rebirth" and an important figure in charge of Liyue's funeral affairs.

Ying on the side also nodded, agreeing with Higashino Yuu's statement.

"Okay, Paimon, come out. The other party is just an ordinary human."

"Come to think of it, didn't Paimon see a similar ghost before? I didn't see you get scared at that time!"

Ying tilted her head curiously.

There are quite a few ghosts in Liyue, such as Xiao Ming in Wangshu Inn, who is a typical ghost.

Hearing what Dong Ye said, she couldn't help but fly in front of Dong Ye You and said with her hands on her hips: "It can't be helped. Anyone who sees such a thing will be scared!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It was wrong of me to scare you on purpose just now. How can you forgive me?"

Although he has a habit of playing pranks, Kurumi is not a naughty kid who makes people want to break his legs.

Instead, he is a genius.

At the age of three, she stood upside down and recited books, reading all the famous articles in the collection. At the age of six, she chose a day to skip school and slept in a coffin. At the age of eight, she stayed in the hall and studied funeral rituals...

cough cough.

Although she is unreliable at times, she is still a relatively trustworthy girl.

Especially when it comes to funerals.

After Hu Tao took charge of the affairs, the Hall of the Dead was run stably, and the rituals were performed properly, which even changed the views of many Liyue residents who were superstitious about funerals.

"Well... since you dared to scare Paimon, I'll make sure you learn a lesson!"

Paimon folded his hands together and thought for two seconds before saying.

"How about this, you treat Paimeng to a meal at Crescent Pavilion, but if you don't eat three meals, I'll forgive you."

·· ······Request flowers 0 ···

Speaking of Xinyuexuan, Paimeng wiped the corner of his mouth subconsciously.

Since the three of them arrived in Liyue, they had only eaten at Xinyue Pavilion once, and the rest of the time they basically had their three meals at Wanmin Hall.

Although it is very difficult to reserve a table at Xinyuexuan, it is also because the food at Xinyuexuan is not only delicious but also expensive.

Although they have no worries about pocket money as knights of Mond, it is still very difficult for them to eat three meals a day.

Plus, Ying is in charge of the money for the three of them.

And Ying was not a spendthrift person, so even though Paimeng would see the lively scene in the restaurant every time he passed by the entrance of Xinyuexuan, Ying would always take Paimeng away cruelly.

.. ...... 0

However, when he thought about how difficult it was to reserve a table at Xinyuexuan, Paimeng suddenly felt nervous.

Have I gone a little too far?

But before she could say anything, Kurumi patted her flat chest and agreed directly.

"No problem. Not to mention three meals, even thirty meals is no problem."

"really?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Paimeng's eyes couldn't help but light up. Looking at the girl in front of her, she felt that there was a golden light behind her, and even the airport in front of her became a little wider.

The previous unhappiness was immediately thrown away, like a silver elf, flying in front of Walnut.

"Rich man, I, Paimon, feel that we have the destiny to become good friends."

Seeing her happy expression, it was obvious that she felt it was convenient to have such a good friend.

"Yes, I also think we are destined to be together. I'm sorry for scaring you before."

Even though Paimon had forgiven her, she still apologized sincerely.

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a little ghost. Don't say it's just a little ghost. I am Paimon, even if a wind dragon appears in front of me, I can remain calm!"

As he spoke, Paimon put his hands on his hips again, a smug look on his face.

"So, you are the one that Zhongli said would be very troublesome if you refuse? I think you are easy to talk to, why would Zhongli say that?"

711. Business of the Wangsheng Hall

Funerals and funerals are the last dignity of mortals. And Liyue's "Wangsheng Hall" can be regarded as the final stroke of the picture of life. There are many aspects of traditional funerals, such as the keeping of the body and the burial method, the memorial tablet and utensils... All of these links have strict rules.

Regardless of the deceased's family background or wealth, they must be given a funeral that is appropriate to their status. This is the way to entertain guests in the Wangsheng Hall.

Such an important institution should be headed by a person who is knowledgeable and prudent. However, the responsibility of the 77th head fell on the shoulders of a little girl named Hu Tao.

Hu Tao is quite famous in Liyue. When talking about her, the neighbors are always full of words. People praise her for her intelligence, but they are also wary of her strange ideas. Her ideas have reached the point of being whimsical.

At the age of three, he recited books while standing upside down and read through all the famous articles in the collection. At the age of six, he chose a day to skip school and sneaked into a coffin to sleep soundly. At the age of eight, he stayed in the hall and studied funeral rituals... No matter how you look at it, Hu Walnut has nothing to do with the word "stable".

When Hu Tao was in her teens, she took charge of the funeral for the first time. The hearts of all the officials and guests in the hall were hanging on the cliffs of Jueyunjian.

Fortunately, Hu Tao attaches great importance to business and never takes it lightly.

"We are the Hall of the Resurrection. We collect money from the living and send the dead on their way. We shoulder double the responsibility and must satisfy the people in both the Yin and Yang worlds."

When it comes to the rules of the hall, Hu Tao is always very knowledgeable. During the day when the hall is closed for business, Hu Tao invites various learned guests to tell stories and give lectures to the young waiters.

“Funeral traditions are a vast subject and cannot be relied upon based on impressions and habits.”

Among all the lecturers, Mr. Zhongli is the most respected. His teaching results are remarkable and have greatly improved the quality of the funeral attendants in the Wangsheng Hall. Even though Hu Tao often ridicules Zhongli's old-fashioned style, he is still the person Hu Tao trusts the most. In addition, Hu Tao also requires the funeral attendants to pay attention to customer needs and not stick to a specific funeral style.

"The guests have different requests. Some want the deceased to go in peace, some want a lively funeral, and some wealthy people only want a grand funeral. What we do and how we do it should depend on what they want."

After Hu Tao took charge of the affairs, the operation of the Hall of the Dead was stable, the rituals were performed properly, and even many Liyue residents who were superstitious about funerals changed their views on funerals. Having said that, when the ceremonial attendants were training, Hu Tao was somewhere else to go and disappeared without a trace.

The hobbies of this hall master are very personal, and it is hard to say whether he has too much leisure time. The figure standing with his hands behind his back and composing poems at the highest point under the moonlight on the pier and the dangerous building in the mountains must be Hu Tao.

She loves to wander around at night, and whenever she feels like it, she can't help but write a poem no matter where she is. Merchants passing by the rest pavilion in Huaguanglin Mountain may be lucky enough to see a mysterious girl sitting alone at a table and entertaining herself.

It takes four people to play a card game, but Walnut can't stop playing by herself. As for the fun of it... only she knows.

All these things show that Master Hu of the Wangsheng Hall is such an eccentric person.

She even managed to name the stone lions in the General Affairs Department and bathe them every day.

At this moment, Zhongli couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Paimeng's words. A bad feeling appeared in his heart.

"Oh? So that's what Mr. Zhongli said about me?"

Looking at the guest official she hired, Hu Tao's mouth curled up slightly, and with her plum blossom eyes, she looked particularly naughty.

Looking at the other person, she gently tapped her cherry lips.

"Speaking of which, the bills at the Hall of the Dead seem to have increased a lot recently. I wonder if we should conduct a strict review and return some unnecessary bills?"

Although they seemed to be talking about something irrelevant, Zhongli's expression changed.

He had always used the bill of Wangsheng Hall as an unlimited credit card.

Although some of his valuables were recorded in the account of the Northern Kingdom Bank in Tartaglia, there were also many bills at the Wangsheng Hall.

It can be said that Hu Tao's words are exactly Zhongli's weak spot.

"Cough cough!"

After clearing his throat, Zhongli immediately spoke.

"Master Hu Tao is eccentric and clever, lively and cheerful, and has his own principles. He is a great man."

"And Mr. Higashino claims to be a traveler from another world and is well-informed. Master Hutao, don't you have something to talk to Mr. Higashino about? Why not take this opportunity to have a good chat..."

Zhongli's expression didn't change at all, but he gave people the feeling that he was being controlled by his own daughter. After finally meeting a young talent, he wanted to marry his daughter off immediately.

The sensible Hu Tao raised her eyebrows and naturally understood Zhongli's plan.

In addition, she was not interested in Zhongli's bill in the first place, and now that she met Dongye You who was quite interested in it, she simply threw it aside.
