Chapter 184

[His eyes stare at the only remaining Golden Shrimp Ball.]

[Just about to reach out to take it, he suddenly stops his movement.]

["Wait a minute..."]

[Suddenly, cold sweat rises on Su Bai's forehead.]

["Why can I feel the taste and texture of the Golden Shrimp Ball?"]

[Su Bai shows a bit of panic, and bean-sized sweat beads flow down slowly.]

["No, no, no..."]

["Isn't this an illusion?"]

["It's impossible that this is really the future Liyue."]

["What that woman wrapped in noodles said can't be true."]

["Dead people or something, no, I mean, will the future me actually die?"]

[He hurriedly grabs the last Golden Shrimp Ball and eats it greedily.]

[His eyes widen.]

[Good guy, it's really no different from eating in reality.]

[All feelings are real.]

["This..."]

[Su Bai swallows a few mouthfuls of saliva.]

[This might really be the future mentioned by the mysterious woman.]

[And in the future, not only did I die, but even Tianquan Ningguang and Keqing died.]

[Just when Su Bai's brain is still blank, the sound of rustling footsteps comes from not far away.]

[Hearing the sound, Su Bai hurriedly finds a big tree, hides behind it, and observes secretly.]

[Before long, a figure slowly walks out from not far away.]

[The person is a woman with white hair, wearing a brown-black robe.]

["She is..."]

[Su Bai's pupils shrink suddenly.]

[Even though the other party has changed her appearance, from the clothes she is wearing and the hat on her head...]

[The most intuitive thing is the pair of plum blossom-like pupils.]

[Combining the above features, it's not hard to see that the person is the 77th generation director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor in Su Bai's memory.]

[Hu Tao...]

["Hu Tao..."]

["No, no, no."]

[Su Bai shakes his head violently.]

[The first impression feels like Hu Tao, but the Hu Tao in Su Bai's memory is not this old.]

[However, the next moment, he associates it with the future.]

[If Hu Tao were a few years older, she would indeed be very similar to the woman in front of her.]

[But when did Hu Tao's hair turn white?]

[If it's not Hu Tao, what's going on with the clothes and hat on her body, and the plum blossom-shaped pupils that only Hu Tao has?]

["Oh my, didn't expect someone to dare to touch the offerings for the dead like you, True Monarch."]

["Truly not afraid of retribution."]

[Hu Tao is stunned for a moment, then laughs jokingly.]

[But soon, her face darkens.]

["At that time, you took your grandfather's offerings and stewed them in a hot pot..."]

["This time, even your offerings have been taken away by bad people."]

["Perhaps, this is the so-called retribution, don't you think?"]

[Grandfather's offerings?]

[Su Bai listens, dumbfounded.]

[The only time he took someone else's offerings to stew in a hot pot in this life was taking Hu Tao's grandfather's offerings.]

[So, the person in front of him who looks like a future Hu Tao is really the future Hu Tao.]

At this moment, the audience in the live stream room is stunned.

Especially the people of Liyue.

Those who are familiar with Hu Tao can clearly see that the person is Hu Tao.

But why did her hair turn white in the future?

What happened to Liyue?

Hu Tao: "That person is really me..."

Xiangling: "There should be no mistake, because you said the thing about Mr. Su Bai taking your grandfather's offerings."

Keqing: "Why did Hu Tao's hair turn white?"

Tianquan Ningguang: "Eh, did I really die, or was I eaten by Hu Tao?"

Hu Tao: "Hey, Lady Tianquan Ningguang, how could I eat people?"

Consultant Zhongli: "Things are getting more and more weird, and the director's mental state is not good at all."

Madame Ping: "Complexion is dark, no light in the pupils, just like..."

Yelan: "Sigh..."

[Hu Tao kneels in front of Su Bai's tombstone, palms together, worshipping.]

[Following her memories.]

[Time seems to return to the original Wuwang Hill.]

[There is a legend in Liyue.]

[Wuwang Hill is the place where the souls of the dead reside, where one can meet the souls of the dead.]

[That day, a girl waiting for her grandfather's soul appeared on Wuwang Hill.]

[The girl brought dry food and water, waiting for a long, long time, don't know how many days she waited, the dry food and water she brought were all eaten.]

[But she didn't wait for the soul she wanted to see.]

[Just when the girl was starving, a spray of fragrance drifted into her nostrils.]

[She turned her head and saw three people having a hot pot on an empty space a few meters away from her.]

["Junior sister, add more fire."]

["Hmm, got it, senior brother."]

["That... junior brother... is it really okay for us to do this."]

["Rest assured, junior sister, I'll take responsibility for everything."]

[That is...]

[Hu Tao recognized the identities of the three, they were the three working at the Andingju.]

[She was very confused, not understanding what these three were doing.]

[Actually running to such a terrifying place as Wuwang Hill...]

[Eating hot pot?]

[Based on the principle of avoiding trouble, plus her own disappointed and sad mood at the moment.]

[Hu Tao didn't talk to Su Bai and the other two.]

[However, the content of the three people's chat was heard clearly by Hu Tao.]

["Seeing Shenhe, senior brother really envies that little girl."]

["At such a young age, she took over the business of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, unlike senior brother, who is middle-aged and doesn't have half a Mora in his pocket."]

[Seeing Shenhe nods repeatedly, adding fire by the way.]

["Senior brother, what else should I put in."]

["You say, is it really okay for us to take other people's offerings to eat hot pot."]

[Take other people's offerings to eat hot pot?]

[Hu Tao's whole expression became dull.]

[Are these three people not afraid of retribution.]

[Taking other people's offerings and running to Wuwang Hill to eat hot pot, really not afraid of revenge from the souls of others.]

[And, the black-haired man was actually commenting on her.]

[Really annoying.]

["Not bad, the fragrance is out."]

["Put more seasoning in."]

["I have to say, this old man's offerings have many tricks. Let's throw the ones that have already become cooked food together to eat."]

["Is this delicious, junior brother?"]

["No problem, this is a recipe I stole from Wanmin Restaurant, absolutely delicious."]

[Old man?]

[Hu Tao became more and more confused.]

[Hungry, her stomach also made a gurgling sound because of the fragrance.]

[Really couldn't hold it, Hu Tao's eyes looked at Su Bai and the other three.]

[However, the paper wrapping the offerings on the ground made her beautiful eyes tremble violently.]

[She remembers very clearly that the paper under her grandfather's offerings was something she made herself, different from other papers.]

[In other words, the three people in front of her actually took her grandfather's offerings and ran to her vicinity to eat hot pot?]

[Hu Tao stood up suddenly.]

[Her flashing big eyes looked at Su Bai with anger.]

["Junior brother, it's over, Hu Tao seems to have discovered something."]

["Senior brother, you say we bully her like this, will her grandfather's soul suddenly appear to find trouble with us."]

["Absolutely not, her grandfather has no regrets in his heart, he will not appear on Wuwang Hill again."]

["This silly girl, even if she waits until she starves to death, she won't wait for her grandfather."]

... 0 0

[Grandfather has no regrets?]

[So his soul will not appear on Wuwang Hill?]

[Hu Tao is stunned.]

[She can never see her grandfather again, not even the chance to see her grandfather's soul for the last time.]

["What does this mean, what does grandfather having no regrets mean..."]

[Hu Tao says to herself.]

[But soon, she looks at the three people eating hot pot again.]

[Through the conversation of the three just now, it is more certain that the ingredients for the hot pot are from her grandfather's offerings.]

["I say you..."]

["Actually dare to take grandfather's offerings to eat hot pot here."]

["Unforgivable, I want to..."]

[Unfortunately, at this moment, Hu Tao only feels dizzy.]

[Long-term hunger makes her have no strength at all.]

[She falls to the ground swaying.]

[Fortunately, Seeing Shenhe is quick-witted and supports Hu Tao who is about to fall to the ground one step in advance.]

["I..."]

[Hu Tao wants to push away Seeing Shenhe's help, but she is so weak that she almost has no strength to speak.]

["What a silly girl."]

[A bowl of fragrant stew suddenly appears in front of her.]

[Followed by Su Bai's gentle voice.]

["Your grandfather came to our Andingju before he died."]

["His body was almost at its limit."]

["He was able to raise you up and see your outstanding performance. The old man can rest assured to hand over the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to you."]

["He has no regrets, but he is afraid that after he dies, you will do something stupid because you can't bear to let him go."]

["So he signed a contract with me in advance."]

["Will provide the highest standard funeral for me after I die for free."]

["Let me take care of his granddaughter, the 77th generation director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao."]

["To prevent you from doing stupid things after the old man dies."]

["If you starve to death, I have violated the contract with him."]

["Liyue people all respect contracts. Once the contract is violated, I will be very troubled."]

[Hu Tao looks at the stew in front of her blankly.]

[Wrinkling her nose, tears moisten her big eyes.]

[Just like Hu Tao kneeling in front of Su Bai's tombstone at this moment.]

[Tears stream down her cheeks.]

["Saying that the food made from grandfather's offerings is a gift from grandfather to me..."]

["No one in the world can keep up with your nonsense."]

["When we learned that Su Bai, the Su boss of Andingju, was the Anding True Monarch of Liyue, why weren't we as shocked as we imagined."]

["Perhaps just like the encounter with Su Bai on Wuwang Hill, even if you do things in an outrageous way, as long as you are there, no matter how sad things are, they can be solved perfectly."]

["As long as you are in Liyue, there will definitely be no problem..."]

["But..."]

["But..."]

[Hu Tao wipes the tears on her face, but the tears still flow out uncontrollably.]

["But how can you really bear to leave Liyue and go to that world yourself?"]

["Hu Tao begs you, please come back. Didn't you promise Tianquan Ningguang to always guard the stability of Liyue?"]

["You cannot violate the contract with Liyue, right..."]

Chapter 126: Furina: Su Bai is my husband. Buer: No, he is everyone's.

The Anding True Monarch of Liyue in the mouths of the people of Liyue.

Looking at it now, Su Bai's life in Liyue should be quite warm and harmonious.

His personality is not as serious as in the previous few lives.

His style of doing things is not full of airs like a big shot, but slightly biased towards an approachable personality.

Although Su Bai is an immortal, what is felt most from him is the human touch.

Just like what the mysterious woman, the Time Archon Istaroth, said.

The Anding True Monarch of Liyue is a guy who is easy to get along with.

Of course, the premise is that the other party has no intention of harming him or the people around him.

Looking at the future Hu Tao with tears on her face on the light screen, listening to her painful sobbing sound.

Associating with the encounter between the young Hu Tao and Su Bai on Wuwang Hill.

It always gives people an inexplicable heartache.

Especially the future Hu Tao, that head of white hair, seems to be telling the picture expressed by Istaroth.

The future Liyue is a living hell.

Nilou: "Sigh, this is a bit sad just from the beginning."

Kamisato Ayaka: "When Hu Tao was foolishly eating dry food and drinking water on Wuwang Hill, I was very uncomfortable."

Sangonomiya Kokomi: "Fortunately, Mr. Su Bai prepared hot pot for her early, otherwise she would have been really starved."

Dainsleif: "Through Su Bai's cooperation with Seeing Shenhe, he told Hu Tao the reason why she couldn't see her grandfather, because grandfather had no regrets, and by the way, made grandfather's offerings into delicious food and gave it to Hu Tao, and said it was food made from grandfather's offerings, which was made by grandfather. With this kind of rhetoric to warm Hu Tao's injured heart, Su Bai is still Su Bai, he really has a way in caring for people."

Nahida: "But why did the future Su Bai die? I feel so heartbroken looking at Hu Tao crying in front of his grave."

Lumine: "My Su Ye is worthy of being the Anding True Monarch, suppressing the evil spirits invading Liyue, and warming the hearts of the people of Liyue."
