Chapter 281

"Brother Sect Master asked Qiqi to remind you not to go deep into Jueyun Karst casually if it is not necessary."

Baiwen was shocked.

"A fierce beast at the peak of Foundation Establishment?"

Good guy, if this thing ran to Liyue Harbor, it would be comparable to a Demon God's attendant, and no one could handle it.

"Brother Sect Master said that the fierce beast will not appear at will. As long as you don't explore Jueyun Karst casually, nothing will happen."

"If I encounter it, Qiqi will also handle it, so you don't have to worry."

After practicing tonight, Qiqi's language logic became smoother.

It seems it won't be long before she fully recovers.

"Then it's hard work for you, Qiqi."

Baiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiqi shook her head, stepped on the flying sword, and planned to leave on the sword.

Hu Tao, who had been hiding on the side, couldn't hold back anymore.

Now that Qiqi needs to practice corpse-driving, it is a foregone conclusion. In the future, Qiqi will definitely continue to steal business from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Hu Tao can't beat her anyway, and she can't talk her way out of it, so she can only accept her fate.

But after accepting this reality, Hu Tao felt that there was actually profit to be made.

Qiqi practices corpse-driving, but how many corpses are there in the entire Jueyun Karst, or even the entire Liyue land?

With Qiqi's identity as a cultivator, it is not guaranteed that she will go to all parts of Teyvat to drive corpses in the future.

This is an opportunity!

If she can cooperate with Qiqi and work together.

Wouldn't the business of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor instantly spread to the entire Teyvat?

Qiqi only cares about sending them off, which doesn't count as a decent rest.

In the end, it still has to be her Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to give the deceased the final decency.

In the future, Qiqi will be responsible for finding corpses and driving them, and the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will be responsible for encoffining, promoting coffins, and burying them.

While improving efficiency, the service is also more professional.

Thinking about the good side, she can also avoid running around looking for corpses every day.

Although going on business trips also earns a lot.

But finding one person on a business trip, compared to Qiqi finding a bunch of people at once.

Obviously, the latter is more suitable!

Even if Qiqi drives back ten corpses, and three of them need encoffining and coffins, and need a funeral.

That's a big profit!

In the future, she can also launch special funerals like Mondstadt special funerals, Inazuma special funerals, Fontaine special funerals, etc.

Diversified service structure, professional service concept.

Cooperating with Qiqi is profitable!

Look at this business plan, it's simply perfect. I'm afraid Lady Ningguang is no more than this.

Hu Tao thought proudly, praising herself as a business genius.

Although it is a bit strange that her partner chose her old client.

But compared to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor spreading to Teyvat, it is simply not worth mentioning.

Immediately, Hu Tao jumped out.

"Wait, Qiqi! I want to discuss business cooperation with you!" ===== CHAPTER 282 =====

168. Hu Tao: It's just corpse-driving! I'll learn it too if I go to Shushan!

Qiqi had been in a pretty good mood today after finishing her cultivation.

But upon hearing that familiar voice and seeing that familiar face,

her whole being instantly felt terrible.

To Qiqi, the exquisitely featured Hu Tao looked even more ferocious and terrifying than those corpses.

She was simply the most suitable candidate for a devil in Qiqi's mind to stop children from crying.

This fear was deep in her marrow; even though Qiqi had begun cultivating, she still couldn't escape the psychological shadow brought by Hu Tao.

Perhaps she didn't remember anything else from back then.

But she remembered the fear Hu Tao brought.

That was...

A full several times, she was either almost buried by Hu Tao or almost cremated by her!

Qiqi took a few steps back, staring intently at Hu Tao. After a long while, her tone carried intense dread.

"Hot, annoying devil!"

The smile on Hu Tao's face froze abruptly, and for a moment, she felt quite awkward.

Judging by Qiqi's condition, she had clearly recovered very well and could now clearly remember many people's names.

She could even repeat what Lady Ningguang and Jiang Yan had said.

Yet when it came to her, there were only a few unfriendly adjectives.

Was she really that annoying to Qiqi?

Hu Tao felt that she actually had decent people skills.

Besides, she hadn't actually sent Qiqi away back then, had she?

"Um... Qiqi, actually, we still have a pretty good relationship, you know."

"Have you forgotten that back when you were lost in Jueyun Karst, I even invited you to warm yourself by the fire?"

Qiqi stared at Hu Tao silently, becoming increasingly terrified.

Back in Jueyun Karst, Hu Tao had indeed invited her to warm herself by the fire.

But the one being roasted was her!

Over these past few years, Hu Tao's intention to send her away had never ceased.

Qiqi concluded that this person must be thinking of something very dangerous again, and immediately controlled her flying sword to land beneath her feet.

In an instant, she turned into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.

Leaving behind only the gasps of amazement and envy from the countless people at the Liyue Harbor gate, and Hu Tao with a frozen smile on her face.

Watching Hu Tao's expression, Secretary Baiwen couldn't help but chuckle, but she still suppressed her laughter and spoke up:

"Master Hu, since you've already arrived, it saves us from having to notify the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"Once the families of these people arrive to claim them, we will have to trouble the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to help with the encoffining and burial."

Hu Tao pouted and put her hands on her hips, looking back.

Her mood worsened.

Although this was a big order, but...

These poor souls were just too miserable; the encoffining alone was a troublesome task.

Moreover, not all of these many people necessarily had families.

Calculating it, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was likely going to lose money this time.

It wasn't that Hu Tao cared about Mora, but having her business snatched by Qiqi and then having to pay out of pocket to bury these people who weren't her clients...

It was truly quite unpleasant.

Secretary Baiwen also saw through Hu Tao's thoughts and said helplessly:

"Master Hu, rest assured. If there are no family members, the General Affairs Office will pay the remuneration on their behalf."

"Fine, fine! Welcoming and sending off, the cycle of yin and yang—the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor exists for this, so the amount of Mora doesn't really matter."

Hu Tao curled her lips and said with a headache:

"I don't know where that guy Zhongli has gone. I haven't seen a shadow of him for so long, and even the bills are gone."

"With so many clients, without Zhongli's help, this master will be worked to death."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Baiwen's expression became awkward for a split second.

Zhongli...

Didn't he go to Shushan to cultivate?

He had even become an acting head and was in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, enjoying a flourishing second spring in his career.
