Chapter 385

Seeing Ying and Paimon appear, Collei's eyes also lit up.

She hadn't expected to run into two friends here.

These two had left a very deep impression on her.

"Good morning."

Lin Mo also saw Ying and Paimon, and immediately nodded with a smile, saying, "I didn't expect that your accommodation in Liyue would actually be the inn opposite mine."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Paimon nodded as if it were only natural.

"Hmm, then the person I just saw must have been Collei."

While Paimon was nodding, Ying suddenly thought of what she had seen earlier, scratched her head, and asked curiously, "So, Collei, were you the one pressed against the window just now? What was going on with you pressing against the window without opening it?"

Thinking of what had just happened, Ying couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked about it.

"Ah????"

Hearing Ying's words, Collei's expression went blank, her little face instantly flushed bright red, and with shyness in her eyes, she stammered, "Y-you, you saw everything?"

How could this be!

Lin Mo: "........"

And when Lin Mo heard Ying's words, his expression also turned strange, and his eyelids twitched.

That shouldn't be possible; the direction his window faced was toward the sky outside, which should have been a blind spot.

Thinking of the techniques Collei had mastered over the past two days, Lin Mo still felt a lingering aftertaste.

"I saw it, yeah."

Hearing Collei's words, Ying nodded as if it were natural, then scratched her head again and said in confusion, "It's just that I don't understand what was going on with you pressing against the window and looking outside without opening it; I just saw your silhouette pressed against it."

"I, I can see outside even without opening the window."

Hearing Ying's words, Collei felt a shy sense of relief in her heart, and then stammered, "Because, because early in the morning, I prefer to press against the window and look at the scenery outside."

Ying: "...."

Hearing Collei's words, Ying looked suspicious: "Is that so?"

How come it sounded like Collei was being insincere?

"Looking at what scenery?"

At this moment, a voice filled with slight curiosity rang out.

Hu Tao was seen appearing silently beside Lin Mo and the others, speaking up in a hushed tone.

"Ah?!"

The sudden situation immediately gave Paimon a fright, and she hurriedly backed away: "Who, who are you?"

It's early in the morning, who is this person, being so startling?

"I am Hu Tao, the 77th Generation Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"

Hearing Paimon's words, Hu Tao immediately put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes: "I didn't expect you wouldn't even recognize this Director; it seems you definitely aren't from Liyue."

"Hmm, your outfits are also quite strange."

As she spoke, Hu Tao looked at Paimon and Ying's attire, pinched her own snow-white chin, and fell into deep thought: "Strange, I actually can't analyze which country you're from for a moment."

While speaking, Hu Tao looked up and down at Ying and Paimon's outfits, finding them stranger the more she looked.

"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"

When Paimon and Ying heard Hu Tao's words, they scratched their heads and looked at Hu Tao in confusion: "What does the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor do?"

"It's the institution in Liyue that handles funeral arrangements, oh."

Hearing Paimon and Ying's words, Hu Tao chuckled: "Do you want to book a spot? For the two of you, it's buy one get one free."

"Handles funeral arrangements?"

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Ying and Paimon immediately gulped and decisively shook their heads subconsciously.

They were still living well and didn't want anything to happen to them.

"Hu Tao, is there something you're looking for us for today?"

Collei, who was beside them, looked at Hu Tao and asked curiously.

It was early in the morning, and Hu Tao had actually come.

"Hmm."

Hu Tao nodded: "About last night's matter, didn't it have a follow-up? I was thinking you had the right to know, so I came over."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei looked enlightened.

It seemed there was news about the ghost they had brought back last night, which was why Hu Tao had come to find them so early.

"Then are we going to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor now?"

Collei pondered: "Or are we going to eat?"

"To the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor; the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has breakfast."

Hu Tao narrowed her eyes: "I specially asked someone to make it, you can eat once you get there."

"That's good."

Hearing Hu Tao say this, Collei's eyes lit up, and she decisively nodded in agreement.

"Um, we also have to go to the Adventurers' Guild first."

Ying spoke up at this time, bidding farewell to Lin Mo and Hu Tao.

They still had tasks from the Liyue Adventurers' Guild.

Lin Mo nodded simply, chatted for a bit, and then took Collei to head to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor with Hu Tao.

"Collei, your skin is so strange; it's so supple, it seems like it would drip water if you pinched it."

As Hu Tao walked with Collei, she looked at her curiously, observing that Collei's temperament was becoming increasingly unusual, her whole body looking supple and giving off a feeling of being fully ripened, which made Hu Tao very curious.

Only a few days had passed, and Collei seemed to have blossomed into a second spring, her temperament becoming stranger and stranger, even making Hu Tao feel somewhat captivated.

Hu Tao couldn't fathom why this kind of fresh, youthful temperament had appeared on Collei.

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei's face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly shook her head: "Not at all."

"I feel like you've eaten something delicious recently."

Hu Tao pinched her chin, looked Collei up and down, scratched her head, and pondered: "But what could you have eaten to make your temperament change so much? Did you secretly eat something without telling me? Can you share some with me?"

Could it be that Collei had some specialty from Sumeru?

"Ah?"

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she hurriedly shook her head: "No, I haven't eaten anything."

How could she share something like that?

Besides, it wasn't something she ate; it was all absorbed by her body.

"Alright then."

Seeing Collei like this, Hu Tao sighed: "You're perfectly fine, why are you being so shy?"

Seriously, it was such a simple question, what was there to blush about? Collei was just too easy to embarrass.

Collei: "..."

Hearing Hu Tao's words, Collei remained silent.

How could she not be embarrassed?

While Collei and the others were heading to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

On the other side.

Wanmin Restaurant.

Keqing, who was waiting, looked at the time and fell into deep thought.

Why hadn't Lin Mo arrived at this time? Could it be that Lin Mo and Collei weren't coming for breakfast this morning?

Thinking this, Keqing finished the bowl of noodles in front of her.

While Keqing was eating her noodles.

After Collei and Lin Mo arrived at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, they also met the ghost from last night, as well as Lao Meng.

"The current situation is roughly that this one ran out from Wuwang Hill due to a stroke of luck last night, and for some reason, cannot go back."

Hu Tao, having returned to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, explained: "He originally wanted to come to Liyue to see if his friend was doing well. A few days ago, someone went to Wuwang Hill to test their courage, and then he followed them all the way back to Liyue Harbor."

"It must have been that guy from last night."
