Chapter 170

"Regarding Regarding Zhongli, you're finally back!

That Fatui Harbinger Tartaglia came to look for you before. I'm warning you, don't do stupid things with the Fatui.

We might all be implicated," the young girl with twin tails and a gossip hat on her head stared at Regarding Regarding Zhongli with plum-blossom pupils, speaking in an old-fashioned way.

"Director, Tartaglia and I are just ordinary friends.

Moreover, he pays way too much," Regarding Regarding Zhongli looked at Hu Tao like this and said helplessly.

"He pays way too much?" Hu Tao looked at Regarding Regarding Zhongli suspiciously: "Indeed, you haven't sent the bill to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for more than a month. All your expenses during this time seem to be paid by Tartaglia.

You have to be careful. If someone shows courtesy for no reason, they are either a traitor or a thief. Tartaglia definitely has bad intentions.

I heard that the previous two the Does Does Liyue Does Does Liyue Qixing fell because Tartaglia was too stupid."

Regarding Regarding Zhongli looked at the sky silently. It seems Tartaglia's stupidity is almost known to everyone.

This will also make Tartaglia lean closer to him and pay more bills for him.

This seems to be a good thing……

"Hello, you must be Mu Yang, right? I am Hu Tao, the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!" Hu Tao then focused her attention on Mu Yang.

As for Regarding Regarding Zhongli, Hu Tao is actually quite at ease. Although this guy spends money very well, Hu Tao has more or less guessed some of his identities.

This person has been a consultant for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for several generations before her, and her grandfather even warned her several times to respect Regarding Regarding Zhongli.

The other party looks so young, but his personality is like an old antique. He knows everything but doesn't care about anything. Perhaps he is one of the Adepti in Does Does Liyue.

Although Hu Tao wouldn't suck up to Regarding Regarding Zhongli, she didn't mind paying for him. Moreover, her relationship with Regarding Regarding Zhongli is quite good, just like family.

She just hopes Regarding Regarding Zhongli won't mess around.

Now she is more curious about Mu Yang.

Before, she knew this man was Hearing Hearing Ningguang's consultant and wanted to get to know him, wanting to see if he could arrange some business for her.

Unfortunately, she didn't see Mu Yang. After Mu Yang returned, there were other legends: he returned to Does Does Liyue on the Inazuma Raiden Shogun's "Narukami-maru," and it is rumored that he is the Raiden Shogun's husband.

I heard that many people died in Inazuma during this time. If they could take on this business, their Wangsheng Funeral Parlor would definitely be able to grow big and strong.

Think about their ancestors; they only developed the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Does Does Liyue. But what about herself?

Expanding business to Inazuma—if she is gone in the future, and descendants rank the contributions of ancestors, she, Hu Tao, will definitely be among the top.

"Hello, I am Mu Yang!" Mu Yang looked at this elf-like lively girl: "I have a child at home who I feel gets along very well with you."

"Really?" Hu Tao looked at Mu Yang suspiciously, but she soon smiled: "Of course, I still like children very much. Perhaps we really get along very well."

Regarding Regarding Zhongli's face darkened upon hearing this. He naturally knew who the child in Mu Yang's home was—Klee.

That child has a lawless personality. Perhaps her nature isn't bad, but in the future, she might become a witch, just like Alice.

If Klee and Hu Tao joined forces, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause.

"Director Hu, this is my close friend Zhong Kui. He knows astronomy and geography, and his talent is not weaker than mine. I wonder if he can also join the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and become a consultant?" Seeing Hu Tao interested in Klee, Regarding Regarding Zhongli quickly diverted Hu Tao's thoughts.

Hu Tao looked at Zhong Kui, and her mouth couldn't help but twitch. She knew this might be another Adeptus.

To be honest, if a force in Does Does Liyue has an Adeptus sitting in it, then this force will definitely go smoothly.

It is said that their Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's ancestors were related to Adepti, and the current Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's secret methods are also inherited from Adepti. Back then, the ancestors of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor also bled for the construction of Does Does Liyue alongside the Geo Archon and many Adepti.

And the current Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has indeed become the leader of Does Does Liyue's funeral industry.

Of course, many of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's businesses cannot be participated in by others in the funeral industry.

But Hu Tao found that Regarding Regarding Zhongli spends money like water. Even with the foundation of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, it can't withstand Regarding Regarding Zhongli's squandering. Now that there is finally a sucker, Tartaglia, willing to pay for Regarding Regarding Zhongli.

Now Regarding Regarding Zhongli wants to bring another Adeptus?

How can their Wangsheng Funeral Parlor afford to support two Adepti?

This temple is too small to afford it!

This kind of thing where green smoke rises from the ancestral grave—if it's too much, you might burn the whole house down by accident.

"I don't have an opinion on the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor finding another consultant, but you have to promise me that you can't send bills to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor randomly like before.

I don't want the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to go bankrupt in my hands," Hu Tao warned Regarding Regarding Zhongli after hesitating for a while.

"Director, rest assured. Our expenses during this time will be paid by Tartaglia.

As for later, Zhong Kui won't spend like I do," Regarding Regarding Zhongli nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Hu Tao like this.

As expected of the child he raised, she still gives him face outside.

Isn't it just this requirement? He agreed!

Isn't it easy for Azhdaha to make money?

The so-called Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant is just to better integrate into Does Does Liyue.

Just like Mu Yang can hand-craft Visions to sell, Azhdaha can also hand-craft precious ores to sell. This is much better than him; he can only hand-craft Mora……

Moreover, for the sake of his principles, he won't create Mora for his own selfish interests. This is his principle.

"I'll reluctantly believe you," Hu Tao looked deeply at Regarding Regarding Zhongli, then said to Zhong Kui: "Zhong Kui, right?

As the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, welcome to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. From now on, you are a consultant of our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"Director Hu, rest assured. I won't let you down," looking at Hu Tao, Azhdaha laughed.

This personality also reminded him of an old friend, a friend he and Morax took care of like a younger sister.

Unfortunately, she fell to protect the people of Does Does Liyue.

That time, both he and Morax were completely furious. I don't know how many Archons died in that war, and no one knows how many Archon bodies remained under the Guili Plains, or how much Archon resentment was bred.

If she were still here, she would probably be satisfied with the current Does Does Liyue, right?

"Hmm, I hope so," Hu Tao then looked at Mu Yang eagerly without speaking, looking like she wanted to say something but was embarrassed to open her mouth.

"Director Hu, is there anything?" Looking at Hu Tao, Mu Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Let's agree first.

I don't handle Wangsheng Funeral Parlor business.

Maybe the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is gone, but I am still alive, so this is a losing business."

"!!" Hu Tao was startled upon hearing this. Not to mention, she didn't expect the other party to be a long-lived species too.

She really wanted to say that actually, they also know how to perform the Rite of Parting.

But considering there were two Adepti on the scene, she gave up.

"How could I need you to handle business? I want to cooperate with you," Hu Tao looked at Mu Yang eagerly: "You should have a lot of say in Inazuma, right?"

"It's okay!" Which is to say, Raiden Ei listens to everything he says, and whatever way he wants, it's done that way.

"Then let's cooperate. We will open the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Inazuma and cooperate with the officials there. When the time comes, I'll give you 10% of the money earned!" Hu Tao suggested to Mu Yang full of anticipation.

"Why do I only get 10%?" Mu Yang looked at Hu Tao speechlessly: "With you like this, you still want to do business!"

"10% is not a little. There must be a lot of money given to the Inazuma officials, and our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor puts in both money and effort. The consumption here is not small.

Moreover, many people in Inazuma starved to death, and they don't have much Mora for burial.

But sending people to the afterlife is our responsibility. We can't really not send them, right?

In the end, it is destined that many businesses will lose money.

So our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor going to Inazuma is really not for profit, just to earn a reputation!" Hu Tao quickly explained to Mu Yang.

"It seems you still have a conscience," Hu Tao's words made Mu Yang stunned. Thinking of the scenes he saw when he went to Inazuma before, if it's really like this, it's also very good.

"I can introduce you to the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family of the Yashiro Commission in Inazuma. The funeral industry also seems to be within the scope of the Yashiro Commission's business," Mu Yang pondered for a moment and said.

"That Kamisato Ayaka? I have long wanted to meet her, but I didn't have the opportunity before," Hu Tao's expression was happy, and she patted Mu Yang on the shoulder: "Then it's a deal!"

"However, I am curious. Since you want to cooperate with Inazuma, why don't you go to Fontaine?

If you could cooperate with the Hydro Archon, wouldn't the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor be able to make a fortune?

Let the Hydro Archon create a few more death sentences during trials, and then the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will take over directly.

This is a one-stop service," Mu Yang remembered a comic and induced Hu Tao.

"Cooperate with the Hydro Archon? It seems feasible, and Fontaine is very rich." Sure enough, Hu Tao fell into deep thought.
