Chapter 447

Two years passed in a blink of an eye.

Hu Tao had already reached the age of marriage.

As she grew up and matured, Hu Tao was indeed like a gentle and pleasant lady when she was quiet.

Of course, it's another matter when she makes trouble.

Over the years, even though the nature of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's work seemed unlucky to outsiders, there were still many people coming to propose.

Without exception, all were refused by Hu Tao.

Axiu had a headache about this but had no way, and she didn't know what her daughter was thinking.

On this day.

Gu Chen and Seeing Zhongli walked in the bustling street, watching people come and go.

After years of work by the Liyue Qixing, Liyue has become more prosperous.

While walking, Gu Chen said: "This is not a way to go on, not because of me..."

Before the words fell, Seeing Zhongli said: "She is as stubborn as the old parlor owner. Even if you disappear from the world, it is useless. If you don't want her to miss you all day, it is best not to disappear."

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, sighed: "Immortality is poison..."

Seeing Zhongli paused and looked at Gu Chen, looked at him, and asked: "Do you have erosion?"

"Erosion?"

Gu Chen was puzzled and asked: "You mean..."

"Just like you think." Seeing Zhongli nodded.

Gu Chen smiled and said: "I didn't feel the same erosion as you... but if I continue to live like this, my heart will probably become riddled with holes and full of sadness because of the passing of friends and relatives."

Everyone he knows is slowly dying in time, and only he stands eternally motionless in time.

If the mind is not firm enough, sooner or later he will become a living dead person.

Gu Chen had expected this long ago, but he had no way to defend against it.

Seeing Zhongli looked up at the sky, and after a long while said: "If I lose all memories in the erosion in the future, and my soul becomes dirty... I will leave Liyue to you."

Gu Chen was stunned, staring at Seeing Zhongli.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Gu Chen sighed: "This is giving me another shackle..."

"Treat the bond as an anchor. With this anchor, you can strengthen yourself in the endless immortality," Seeing Zhongli's tone was inexplicable.

"Is that so... I hope you don't want to be lazy," Gu Chen smiled.

"Let's go, there are still things to do today."

【Nilou】: What does Mr. Seeing Zhongli mean by this sentence? Is he going to hand over Liyue to Mr. Gu Chen? (Doubt)

【Nahida】: Gods cannot live forever, but Mr. Gu Chen can. Mr. Seeing Zhongli is thinking that when he is eroded and remembers nothing, Mr. Gu Chen can help take care of Liyue, right? After all, in the environment of Teyvat, pure human rule is not enough. There are too many existences that break the rules. (Nahida? Pondering)

【Keqing】: I agree with this statement. I was too shallow in the past, and now I can recognize this more and more. In addition, from the video, Mr. Seeing Zhongli is really thinking about Liyue even after retirement. If there is any way to keep him from being eroded, it would be great.

【Collei】: Erosion, what a scary word. (Shivering)

【Cloud Retainer】: Once forgotten, it's like Azhdaha, crazy.

【Azhdaha】:...

【Kirara】: I feel that Mr. Gu Chen in this video is the one who carries the most and bears the most! Little Hu Tao is growing up, and slowly she will get old. After Parlor Owner Hu passes away... it will probably be a hundred years, and then Mr. Xingqiu and the others will pass away. Count the days, Tianquan Star Ningguang will walk before them, and... finally, when Mr. Seeing Zhongli passes away, everyone they knew at the beginning has already become dry bones in the grave. Will this memory leave traces in Mr. Gu Chen's long time? Will he still think of it later? (Amber? Don't)

【Seeing Zhongli】: Hmm, whether it is mortals, Vision holders, or gods, they are just passers-by in the sect leader's life in this issue, and the world is the sect leader's cage. He can never leave, can only watch familiar faces leave him one by one. If he doesn't want to bear this pain, he can only find a quiet place to spend the rest of his life, but the long lonely time will make people crazy... For the sect leader in this issue, isn't this a kind of pain? All this is the curse imposed by the high heavens.

【Sustainer of Heavenly Principles】: First of all, it has nothing to do with me. It's me in the video. I don't know him. Don't cyberbully me. (Keqing? I refuse)

【Azhdaha】: You just prepared to scold and then stacked armor, boring. (Pouting)

【Venti】: Be careful that I, the Sustainer, will wear small shoes for you! (Funny)

【Kaeya】: You guys are still talking nonsense here, only I will feel sorry for the sect leader~ (Heartbroken)

【Osial】: Feel sorry for the sect leader~ (Baizhu? Caring)

【Gu Chen】: How can life not be full of regrets? To put it another way, how can people not have regrets, just not shouting pain. (Sigh)

【Paimon】: This soup is going to make me emo. (Gorou? Crying)

【Lumine】: Why, did you think of something that makes you regret?

【Paimon】: Yes! That day I dropped a piece of meat from a bowl of braised pork, woo, thinking about it is so regrettable! (Crying)

【Seeing Zhongli】:...

【Gu Chen】: No comment.

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Liyue's development has already entered a stable period.

The prosperous scene has long been rare, and the contemporary Qixing is just trying to stabilize the current good situation.

Day after day passed, Hu Tao is now twenty-eight years old.

In the past few days, Axiu fell ill.

Axiu, whose body was weak, could no longer hold on.

From marrying Axin, getting pregnant with Hu Tao, she passed a hurdle, and then Axin's accidental death, she passed another hurdle, and then it was the birth of Hu Tao and the departure of the old parlor owner.

Axiu asked herself that this life was both wonderful and full of sadness.

She was the daughter-in-law of the old parlor owner, and she also learned the spirit passed down from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

When Gu Chen said she could still be saved, Axiu refused.

Her remarks were exactly the same as the old parlor owner.

"Dad and Axin have been underground for a long time, I should go see them," Axiu said softly.

Gu Chen and Seeing Zhongli were just silent.

"Two gentlemen, go out first, I want to say some whispers to little Tao," Axiu said.

"Okay."

Gu Chen nodded and walked out of the room with Seeing Zhongli.

After closing the door, Axiu, who was lying on the bed, turned to look at Hu Tao.

Hu Tao was holding her mother's hand by the bed, her plum-blossom pupils carrying some tears.

"Little Tao, tell Mom the truth, do you like Mr. Gu Chen?" Axiu asked softly.

Hu Tao was stunned, and finally nodded gently when her mother was dying: "Hmm."

Axiu, who got the answer, solved the doubts of many years. She was a bit dazed and said: "Little Tao, you... liked someone you shouldn't have liked..."

Axiu saw it thoroughly.

It has been nearly thirty years now, and Mr. Gu Chen's appearance has not changed at all.

He is still young, still mysterious, and time cannot leave any traces on him.

Mr. Seeing Zhongli is the same, but she can see vicissitudes in Mr. Seeing Zhongli's eyes, which is completely different from Mr. Gu Chen.

Axiu guessed that Mr. Seeing Zhongli is probably an immortal, and more likely the fallen Rex Lapis, while Mr. Gu Chen... hard to describe, impossible to guess.

Hu Tao liking such a person is completely asking for trouble and being trapped for a lifetime.
