Chapter 423: Lei Dianying: Long time no see, Morax

Inazuma City!

Tenshukaku!

"I say, did we really not cause any trouble?"

Walking outside the palace complex, through the gaze of the Okuzumeshu, Lumine pondered for a moment and replied: "It should be fine~."

Since confessing to Lei Dianying yesterday, the two had been living near the Office of the Hot Springs as guests.

Although they could no longer easily enter the Tenshukaku, they didn't have to worry about someone coming to catch them at any time.

"Mm, the Raiden Shogun probably went to Liyue to see sister Makoto."

"Perhaps."

The two didn't know much about Ying's whereabouts; they had made this trip to see her, only to be told the news that the General was not there.

So they had no choice but to turn back.

"How about we go see Ayaka? She must be very worried about our whereabouts."

Paimon's suggestion was agreed upon by Lumine.

The other party had sent them to the Tenshukaku; she must be worried about their safety every day.

After all, that girl was very kind; she was even willing to go all-in to rescue Thoma, let alone them, to whom she owed a favor.

The two decided and immediately turned to head toward the Kamisato Estate.

…………

On the other side!

Liyue!

In the clear sky, a striking, awe-inspiring bolt of lightning streaked across the horizon from the distant sea at extreme speed.

The rumbling sound shook the wilderness, causing the people of Liyue to look up in surprise.

The lightning jumped, crossing Liyue Harbor in a transcendent posture until it disappeared at the top of Mount Tianheng.

Discovering that the anomaly had dissipated, the people of Liyue came back to their senses and began to talk excitedly about what had just happened.

It seemed there was one more topic of conversation in the streets and alleys.

No one noticed that an arrogant figure, transcendent and aloof, had appeared in the crowd at some point.

Eyes more magnificent than purple gems reflected all living beings, and the tear mole at the corner of her eye was soul-stirring.

But no one dared to appreciate her otherworldly charm; anyone who let their gaze fall on that figure subconsciously lowered their heads.

It seemed that some natural suppressive force made them have to do so.

Some were shocked, some were curious, and some even wanted to follow.

But then they saw that figure, who stood above all, walking toward a corner of Feiyun Slope where no one approached.

The curious ones immediately stopped, fleeing quickly as if they had encountered a plague god, fearing they would get involved with that place.

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!

Staring at the dark shop in the corner, Lei Dianying muttered carefully.

"According to the Traveler, Morax has been working here since his retirement."

Pausing for a moment, she didn't even say hello and pushed the door open to enter.

The originally dark and cool shop instantly became grand and magnificent because of Lei Dianying's entry, with jumping lightning arcs flickering around her.

The coldness was swept away.

Ying glanced at the transparent figures trembling in the corners and on the ceiling, and entered the shop without any hesitation.

"Oh my, a customer has finally come! Are you booking business for yourself or for friends and family?"

Just as the creaking sound of the door opening appeared, a petite figure suddenly jumped out from a window that no ordinary person would ever think of.

The girl landed steadily with a "ya-hoo," wearing a cheerful smile that seemed to know no sorrow.

"It's actually a customer I've never seen before."

Hu Tao, with a quirky smile, rubbed her hands and sized up the visitor.

Muttering, she wasn't shy and came before Lei Dianying, only feeling that this customer, who kept people at a distance, had an indescribable sense of nobility.

"Hello, customer, I am Hu Tao, the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Is there anything I can do for you?"

The hat with plum blossoms made Ying's gaze pause for a moment; she hadn't expected that besides her and Makoto, someone else liked to use flower petals as decoration.

After a brief scrutiny, she maintained her cold posture and said: "I am here to find someone. Where is the person named Zhongli... no, Morax?"

"Another one looking for Mr. Zhongli."

Muttering softly, Hu Tao skipped to the counter to flip through the logbook, muttering something to herself.

After a moment, she seemed to have found his whereabouts.

"Mm, he didn't go out."

Closing the record, Hu Tao came back to Lei Dianying and said lightly: "You came at the right time. Mr. Zhongli is inside, preparing to talk business with a customer coming later. Seeing that you are so beautiful, I'll give you a back door! Remember to take care of my business in the future!"

·· ·Seeking flowers··· ····

Walking in front with great familiarity, the chattering Hu Tao led the silent Lei Dianying through the courtyard to the guest room in the back.

Take care of business?

If she remembered correctly, the Traveler said this was a shop that made coffins.

Ying actually considered it seriously; Inazuma City didn't seem to have a similar formal funeral business, and perhaps she could really cooperate with the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to open a branch in Inazuma.

Thinking about these things, the two had already reached their destination.

It was an elegant room surrounded by plum blossoms, with sliding doors and blinds.

Inside, a steady figure had his back to the two, brewing tea himself.

Without waiting for Lei Dianying to speak, Hu Tao first made a "shh" gesture to her, then tiptoed to Zhongli's back, and then suddenly patted his shoulder, saying loudly.

.. 0...

"Hey, Mr. Zhongli, someone is looking for you, I brought them to you!"

Even after encountering such a shock, the young man named Zhongli continued to smell and taste the tea calmly.

After taking a sip, he turned around faintly.

"I already know. Director, please feel free."

"Tsk, how boring, you can't even be scared! If Mr. Luo Li were here, he would play games with me! But that guy has been missing for a long time and can't be contacted. I must deduct his salary next time we meet!"

Hu Tao muttered in dissatisfaction, retreated a few steps in boredom, and let Lei Dianying out from behind her.

Hearing the name Luo Li, Ying's eyes radiated a ripple, but it soon calmed down.

Learning from the Traveler that Luo Li had served as a consultant at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was not a secret.

Hearing this, Zhongli appeared exceptionally calm: "He naturally has things to do. Perhaps he will appear before long, Director, no need to worry."

"I am not!"

Hu Tao put her hands on her hips and denied it angrily.

When does this Director need to care so much about someone? Impossible! It's not because he likes to play pranks with her!

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhongli turned to welcome the guest, but soon that calm state of mind, which had been settled for thousands of years, broke down upon seeing Lei Dianying.
