Chapter 434

Zhongli denied it flatly: "It should be that you account for sixty percent, the parlor owner thirty percent, and Axiu and I each account for five percent."

"How come I'm sixty percent?" Gu Chen's expression stalled.

"Who told her to always stick to you? If you calculate carefully over these ten years, she has followed you every day for six years," Zhongli said.

"Fine, fine, fine, then it is my responsibility," Gu Chen said, laughing and crying.

After the joke, Zhongli sighed: "That little girl who walked from Yaoguang Shoal to the South Wharf is now a big shot."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with appreciation: "That girl has become more and more resilient after going through hardships. From selling goods barefoot to doing small business, now her business is about to spread all over Liyue Harbor, right?"

"More than that."

Zhongli shook his head and said: "Among the new generation of merchants, there are very few who can compare with her. She has even reached the height of the older generation. I also heard that she once picked up a Geo Vision... She wanted to sell it as goods, but didn't expect it to successfully ignite and recognize her as its master. It's an interesting story."

"Big consultant! Second consultant!"

The two were talking when they heard a shout.

Little Hu Tao's voice was as clear as an oriole.

As soon as her voice appeared, it meant the calm atmosphere seemed to be wrapped by sparrows.

Little Hu Tao had a special trait.

Even if Gu Chen and Zhongli didn't talk to her, she could talk to herself for a long time, and if the two talked to her, she would be even more energetic.

Little Hu Tao ran over in a hurry, drank Gu Chen's teacup in one gulp, and said: "Oh my, this trip running back from the wharf is really tiring!"

"What happened?" Gu Chen asked after picking up the teapot and filling a cup.

"Nothing~"

Little Hu Tao waved her hand and said: "Can't it be that I, the little parlor owner, missed you?"

Zhongli was happy when he heard this.

Gu Chen shook his head and smiled.

"We were talking about Ningguang," Gu Chen said.

"Ningguang?"

Little Hu Tao pondered for a while and said: "Oh, I've heard of her. I heard she seems to be running for Tianquan Star!"

"Tianquan Star?"

Gu Chen and Zhongli were both stunned, then realized.

"With her ability, becoming Tianquan Star should be a sure thing," Zhongli said.

Gu Chen nodded: "This is another step up. The business is probably even more prosperous."

Seeing the two admiring and sighing there, little Hu Tao grabbed one wrist with each hand and said: "Let's go, you absolutely don't know what I encountered today."

Gu Chen and Zhongli were pulled up, following her helplessly and amusingly.

Gu Chen asked: "What made the little parlor owner so excited?"

"Humph humph."

Hu Tao stood still, turned around, and said mysteriously: "I found a zombie!"

"Zombie?"

Zhongli raised his eyebrows, Gu Chen was stunned.

Following little Hu Tao to take a look, it was indeed a little zombie.

That little zombie was named Qiqi, adopted by Baizhu of Bubu Pharmacy, and treated as an herb-picking apprentice of Bubu Pharmacy.

Little Hu Tao, who had been taught the philosophy of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor since childhood, really wanted to bury that little zombie.

"Big consultant, second consultant, think of a way quickly. You can't let her physical body stay in the world. This is a disrespect to death!" Little Hu Tao's small face was serious.

【Qiqi】: Hu Tao is really not a good person! (Qiqi? Down)

【Hu Tao】: I didn't know before. Qiqi, come out and play with me! (Hu Tao? Acting cute)

【Qiqi】: Don't want to go. (Shaking head)

【Hu Tao】: Come on, come on~ (Hu Tao? Greeting)

"Little parlor owner, I think we should understand the ins and outs before making a decision," Gu Chen said earnestly.

Zhongli nodded approvingly: "It is indeed necessary to understand the reasons behind it before making a decision. It won't be too late then."

Little Hu Tao patted the back of her head and realized: "That's right. Watch me, the little parlor owner, find out about this in a few days!"

Little Hu Tao had business to do, and it was hard to see her figure for several days.

On this day, the old parlor owner got some free time.

Except for Gu Chen and Zhongli playing chess in the courtyard, there was no one around.

The old parlor owner walked over, sat down, and sighed.

Gu Chen and Zhongli stopped and turned to look at him.

"It was better in the first two years, but it's especially obvious this year. I have to admit I'm old," the old parlor owner sighed.

The old parlor owner's hair had long been gray.

Ever since Axin's accident, the old parlor owner suddenly aged more than ten years, and it only improved after little Hu Tao was born.

But now, little Hu Tao is also ten years old.

Having been in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for so long, Gu Chen also knew a lot of past events.

The old parlor owner married late, only marrying and having Axin in his thirties. Axin married at twenty-three, and Axiu was pregnant at twenty-five.

Calculating the time, the old parlor owner is already over seventy, nearly eighty.

At his age, still managing the big and small affairs of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, the old parlor owner is already physically and mentally exhausted.

"Parlor owner, I have a method to prolong life," Gu Chen said without hesitation.

The old parlor owner waved his hand with a smile: "The old man has long since taken life and death lightly. The past parlor owners of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor have all been calm in the face of death. The old man doesn't want to break this precedent... It's just that Axiu is in poor health, and little Tao is young. In a few years, when the old man is buried, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will have to rely on the two gentlemen."

Gu Chen and Zhongli both sighed.

Even though there is a method to prolong life, the old parlor owner is unwilling to accept it.

It can be said that he is stubborn, or it can be said that his thoughts are clear and he has taken everything lightly.

His only regret is probably that he can't wait until little Hu Tao is an adult, but with two consultants with great supernatural powers, the old parlor owner is relieved.

"The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor doesn't treat me as an outsider, so this is naturally my home," Gu Chen said.

Zhongli pondered for a moment and said: "When I get old in the future, I will travel all over the world. By then, the little parlor owner will surely be able to support a piece of the sky. Parlor owner, please rest assured."

The old parlor owner nodded with a smile and then said: "While the body is still okay, let's go and have a good meal."

【Nilou】: The old parlor owner is explaining his funeral arrangements in advance, right? (Sangonomiya Kokomi? Energy drop)

【Kirara】: I heard that old people know how much time they have left. The old parlor owner should also know that he doesn't have many years left. (Uncomfortable)

【Collei】: Ah ah ah, Auntie Axiu is in poor health and can't support the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. If the old parlor owner leaves, this burden will fall on little Hu Tao's shoulders! (Hydro Slime? Crying)

【Nahida】: Are the tender shoulders of a young girl about to support the rise and fall of a huge organization? (Nahida? Pondering)

【Zhongli】: The old parlor owner is open-minded and free-spirited by nature, it's just a pity for Hu Tao, this child. (Sigh)

【Hu Tao】: Grandpa... I didn't understand before, but now I've let go. As long as Grandpa leaves without regrets, that's fine!
