Chapter 932: Want to Open Branches of the Mourning Hall Across the Seven Nations

Hearing someone call her name, Hu Tao paused in surprise and turned to look.

She saw a girl dressed in a charming, elegant style.

It was no one else but Yun Jin, the owner and backbone of the Liyue Yunhan Society.

She was also one of Hu Tao's close friends.

Seeing her friend arrive, Hu Tao smiled and walked over.

"Yun Jin, long time no see! What brings you here?"

"I've run into some problems with my new opera composition, so I came to talk with you."

Yun Jin explained with a light laugh.

Privately, she and Hu Tao had an excellent relationship and often chatted together.

Moreover, she found Hu Tao a very interesting person.

Every casual chat left her in high spirits.

"By the way, are you going somewhere for fun?"

Yun Jin asked curiously at that moment.

She looked as if she was preparing to go out.

"I'm going to Mr. Han's shop to read comics. Want to come along?"

"Maybe you'll get some inspiration!"

Hu Tao invited with a cheerful smile.

She thought Mr. Han's shop had so many comics that some might be perfect for adaptation into opera.

Even if this one doesn't work, isn't there still a reward?

She hadn't thought of it before,

but now that she'd met her friend, she absolutely had to take her along to experience it.

"Read comics?"

Yun Jin blinked her beautiful eyes, puzzled.

What were comics?

How could they give her inspiration?

Had her friend discovered something extraordinary?

"I'll take you there—details on the way!"

Hu Tao grinned and pulled Yun Jin toward the comic shop.

Trusting her friend, Yun Jin didn't refuse.

Later, on the way, after hearing Hu Tao's explanation, she finally understood.

In a mysterious little alley in Liyue, a magical comic shop had opened.

There, reading comics could grant rewards from the comics themselves.

It might be an ordinary item, a skill, or even powerful strength.

It was said that Lady Ningguang and Lady Keqing had both gone there.

"So a place like this has appeared recently!"

Once she understood, Yun Jin sighed in wonder.

She'd been cooped up in the Yunhan Society too long,

unaware of what was happening outside.

She didn't doubt the truth of it.

Because she knew Hu Tao's character.

Though sometimes eccentric, Hu Tao wouldn't lie about something like this.

"Miss Xiangling got some excellent dishes from there—when you get the chance, go taste them at Wanmin Hall, you won't be disappointed."

Hu Tao said with a cheerful smile.

She'd gone there herself to try it once.

Those glowing dishes were delicious beyond words.

Back then, she'd used her connection with Miss Xiangling to sneakily pack up several portions to take home.

"After we finish reading comics, I'll definitely go!"

Yun Jin nodded with a smile.

With Hu Tao's description, her curiosity was now fully aroused.

She couldn't wait to read the comics.

Sensing her friend's eagerness, Hu Tao smiled and quickened her pace.

Soon, the two arrived at the secluded alley.

"So the shop is here? I can't believe you found it!"

Looking at the "Sorrow-Relieving Bookhouse" deep in the alley, Yun Jin's face was full of astonishment.

It was so remote!

How many normal people could even find it?

Only this unconventional friend of hers could have discovered it, surely.

"Hehe!"

Hu Tao scratched her head.

She remembered she'd gone there originally because she pitied the comic shop and wanted to be its first customer.

Then, by accident, she discovered a great secret.

"But this bookstore doesn't look nearly as big as you said?"

After scanning it, Yun Jin asked with some confusion.

According to Hu Tao, the comic shop's interior spans several thousand square meters.

It doesn't match what's in front of us at all!

"This is a branch store—we were teleported to Mondstadt's headquarters the moment we stepped inside!"

Hu Tao reached out and explained.

She only learned this later.

After learning this, she felt immense envy.

If she had the Boss's ability, the Wangsheng Inn could open branches across all seven nations!

Wouldn't business just come knocking at the door?

But as long as she kept coming here, this seemingly impossible wish,

might one day truly come true.

"There's such immense power?! Clearly, the Boss is a true master!"

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Yun Jin sighed in awe.

In her heart, a trace of reverence arose.

"Stop standing there—come on, let's go in!"

Hu Tao blinked playfully, grabbed Yun Jin's hand, and pulled her into the shop.

A flash of light—

the two soon found themselves inside a spacious, brightly lit store.

"So this is what a comic shop is like!"

Yun Jin looked around curiously.

Indeed, it matched her friend's description closely.

The space was vast!
