Chapter 67: Hu Tao: Hehe, there

Teyvat Continent.

Because of the need for public street news and shop advertisements, bulletin boards were erected in many places in Liyue.

And on the bulletin board in Feiyun Slope, there was such a message.

【Citizens, if you witness a zombie child out in the middle of the night, stretching her limbs, climbing mountains to pick herbs, please do not panic. My Qiqi is an herb-gatherer and medical apprentice for Bubu Pharmacy, and she is harmless to you all.

——Bubu Pharmacy, Baizhu.】

And below the message, there was a note from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

【Life and death have their own destiny; why bother keeping someone who should have passed in this world, forcibly extending their fate? It would be better to bring Qiqi to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Buried with rites, peaceful and worry-free, returning to the cycle of elemental logic. Wouldn't that be wonderful?】

Reply:

【Please, Director Hu, stop joking.】

Although the bulletin board had been turned into a chat app, which was somewhat absurd,

it also showed the "conflict" between the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and Bubu Pharmacy.

Facing the thousand-year-old little zombie Qiqi, the two sides had completely different attitudes.

Because of his own reasons, Baizhu hoped to pursue immortality through Qiqi.

Hu Tao naturally could not agree with this concept of defying life and death.

In her view, Qiqi had already died long ago.

Now trapped in a zombie state, unable to be released, she was enduring unimaginable pain.

Sending her to the grave would not only boost the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's performance, ah no,

not only would it allow Qiqi to be completely released, but it would also balance the order of yin and yang!

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Holding this thought, Hu Tao had made several attempts.

After calculating the time, she would quietly abduct Qiqi.

Then she would prepare to stuff her into a grave on the outskirts of the city using a standard cremation ceremony.

But every time, she was stopped in time by Baizhu.

The successive failures made Hu Tao somewhat depressed,

but she didn't give up.

She still kept an eye on Bubu Pharmacy and Qiqi in the shadows.

On this day,

after hearing that Baizhu had matters to attend to and would be leaving Liyue temporarily, Hu Tao knew her chance had come.

After secretly following Qiqi to the wilderness, she picked up a sack and rushed up.

"Qiqi, where are you running to?!"

That speed, that posture—it was so practiced it made one sigh.

Although Qiqi had a poor memory and her reactions were a bit slow,

she remembered Hu Tao!

Seeing this dangerous woman rush up, she turned and ran.

Thus, the two began a "game" of chase in the wilderness.

Through her long life of escaping, Qiqi already knew which hidden locations were near Liyue.

However, it was a pity that the "enemy" she faced was Hu Tao.

More than an hour later, Qiqi was still caught.

Then she was put into the sack, with only her little head exposed, her eyes full of confusion.

"Phew! Finally succeeded!"

Hu Tao put one hand on her hip and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other.

She didn't even know how many times she had tried.

Every time in the past, she had been stopped by Baizhu.

This time, with Baizhu away, she figured there shouldn't be any problems.

"Next is to find a suitable time!"

Hu Tao calculated in her heart.

The burial ceremony wasn't that simple; it required calculating the time.

For Qiqi, there also had to be a standard cremation process.

In the past, she would always prepare everything before acting.

But this time, Baizhu's departure was a rare opportunity, so she hadn't had time to prepare.

Now that she had caught Qiqi, she could start considering it.

Seeing Hu Tao walking toward her, a trace of fear appeared in Qiqi's eyes.

This woman really wanted to bury her!

So she shook her body and began to struggle.

"Hehe, we're out in the wilderness, and Baizhu isn't here. No one will pay attention even if you scream your throat out!"

Hu Tao walked over with a giggle. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
