Even during the day, the door to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor tightly closed. Chen Luo knocked on the door for a long time before he finally got it open.

"It's you guys? You've come at the right time. All 25 coffins you requested have been prepared for you." It was Hu Tao who opened the door for Chen Luo.

A little Hu Tao peeked its head out from inside the door; it was so cute, you just wanted to eat it...

Ahem, what Chen Luo really wanted to say was that he wanted to invite her to dinner.

"So fast?"

"It's not that fast, mainly because the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is for this kind of work, so we have quite a lot in stock. Also, coffins have a long shelf life, so making more general-purpose ones as backup is not a problem."

"After all, who can predict life and death?"

"If a mining accident or a mudslide were to occur, the number of coffins needed would be enormous. If the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor couldn't even meet this basic demand, its reputation would have been ruined long ago," Hu Tao said.

Although, theoretically speaking, only a certain number of people will die in Liyue each day, not too many, since people don't die every day.

But the reality is that some people really might die in droves, whether by murder or by some irresistible natural disaster.

Moreover, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor manages not only the Liyue Harbor area, but is basically the most famous Wangsheng Funeral Parlor brand in the entire Liyue.

Otherwise, Hu Tao wouldn't be running around everywhere trying to sell her business.

Hu Tao led Chen Luo to the place where the coffins were placed; 25 luxurious coffins were laid out there.

"How are you going to take these coffins with you? Or do you have some strange methods?" Hu Tao blinked curiously and stared intently at Chen Luo.

The other party's bar is connected to Different World, so it's normal for them to have some special abilities since they are from Different World.

Anyway, while Yangshengtang normally provides delivery services, it doesn't in this Different World.

So Chen Luo definitely has to do these jobs, but how Chen Luo should do them is the question.

Seeing Hu Tao's curious gaze, Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and 25 transparent silk threads instantly extended out, binding the 25 coffins.

Then, those 25 coffins vanished right before Hu Tao's eyes, which really surprised Hu Tao.

"Wow, that's an amazing skill. What's that called? Making something out of thin air?"

"It's not about conjuring things out of thin air, but rather a spatial artifact. It looks very small, but it can hold a lot of very large things," Chen Luo said.

Chen Luo's backpack requires Chen Luo to touch certain things in order to put those things into it. However, after some research, Chen Luo discovered that these threads seem to have been identified as part of Chen Luo. Therefore, if the threads touch an object and no one is holding it, it can be easily put into the backpack.

Of course, there's an upper limit to the distance; it can't be too far. But at least it's acceptable when the coffins are placed this close together.

Is it possible that this is actually a remarkably skilled ability to steal?

Chen Luo was pondering whether it was possible to steal the clothes from the other people...

"Oh, by the way, Hu Tao, does your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor have any super expensive coffins?" Chen Luo asked, looking at Hu Tao, who was still very interested in how the coffins disappeared, after he had put all the coffins away.

"Hey, Chen Luo, can you perform that magic trick again, how do you make things disappear?" Hu Tao said excitedly.

"... Look, your hat is gone." After a moment of silence, Chen Luo suddenly pointed at Hu Tao's head and said.

"Ah, what? My hat is gone? Give it back!" Hu Tao, startled by Chen Luo's words, said to Chen Luo while touching her head.

Because Chen Luo used a thread that was imperceptible to ordinary people when he put away the coffin, it appeared as if Chen Luo had made the coffin disappear out of thin air in Hu Tao's sight. Therefore, it is also possible that Chen Luo could make his hat disappear out of thin air as well.

Hu Tao's hat is a Hu Tao her grandfather. It is one of Hu Tao's most precious possessions. Even if the wind and rain are blowing outside and her clothes are dirty, Hu Tao will still take out her well-protected, clean hat from her bosom.

"I was just kidding," Chen Luo said, crossing his arms.

"..." As Chen Luo finished speaking, Hu Tao touched her head and realized that the hat on her head had not disappeared.

"Wow, you actually lied to people! That's outrageous! I advise you to be kind!" Hu Tao looked at Chen Luo with displeasure.

There are actually people in this world who can fool me.

No, I have to trick them into giving it back.

Hu Tao blinked, and began to ponder something.

"Even the cunning and shrewd Lord Hu Tao could be fooled. It seems you really like that hat. By the way, I have the ability to sense whether someone is lying to me." Chen Luo could tell what Hu Tao was thinking just by looking at her expression.

Well, Hu Tao is a clever and cunning "child" that even the Emperor said he couldn't handle, so Chen Luo felt it was necessary to give her a warning first.

"Huh? You have this ability?" Hu Tao was slightly surprised.

"If you don't believe me, you can try. Try lying to me," Chen Luo said.

"Well... Zhongli is a warm and cheerful Guest Official." Hu Tao said after a moment of contemplation.

"Lie."

This statement is obviously fake.

"My birthday is July 15th."

"The truth."

The Ghost Festival (Zhongyuan Festival) falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month.

Hu Tao truly have an inextricable connection with the afterlife.

"I like to eat Qingxin- fried Slime gel."

"Lie."

"I'm a very good cook."

"Lie."

"I'll cook one dish and deliver it to you."

"Neither true nor false."

"Wow, you actually guessed it right."

"Then...this master is the cutest in the world!" Hu Tao said, hands on her hips.

"... The truth," Chen Luo said after a moment's hesitation.

"What? Is it really true?" Hu Tao exclaimed in shock.

"Just kidding. You're the second cutest in the world," Chen Luo said.

"What? There's someone cuter than me? I don't believe it." Hu Tao shook her head.

"The Lady of Herrscher of Knowledge is the most adorable person in the world," Chen Luo said decisively.

"Oh, and Little Sirin too, the Lady's tied for first place in cuteness with the Herrscher of Knowledge." Feeling the little thing moving in his arms, Chen Luo changed his tune.

"Who is the Herrscher of Knowledge? How can someone be even cuter than me?" Hu Tao couldn't help but ask.

Hu Tao certainly didn't believe what Chen Luo said.

Ultimately, who is the most lovable person in the world depends on who is most important to you.

If it were really just a simple matter of who is cuter, then the debate could go on for three days and three nights without ever ending.

However, Hu Tao was quite interested in that Herrscher of Knowledge.

"It's me." A voice sounded beside Hu Tao.

Hu Tao turned her head and saw a faint figure floating in the air.

"A ghost!" Hu Tao looked at the ghost-like creature, and suddenly a long spear appeared in her hand. Fire element instantly covered the spear, and she thrust it at the ghost.

"Whose ghost is so good-looking? And who would instinctively attack a ghost? Shouldn't they dodge it?" The Herrscher of Knowledge saw the flaming spear thrusting towards them and gently touched the tip of the spear with a finger.

As for the surging flames, a black and red flame suddenly emerged from the fingertips of the Herrscher of Knowledge, instantly suppressing the fire elemental power on the spear.

You want to play with fire with me Fu Hua?

That's just a mere flame; compared to the captain's previous flames, it's utterly weak.

"Hmm, not a ghost?" After seeing the other party's condition clearly, Hu Tao tilted her head and then put away her spear.

Hu Tao is no stranger to ghosts. Hu Tao's Wangsheng Funeral Parlor does just that kind of work. Don't think that the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor only handles Funeral Services. The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor also has the responsibility of maintaining order between the Yin and Yang realms. So Hu Tao has actually seen quite a few ghosts.

The Herrscher of Knowledge looks light and airy, and does indeed resemble a ghost, but since it lacks that aura and its power is unusual, it is naturally not a ghost.

"I am the world's cutest Herrscher of Knowledge," Herrscher of Knowledge said, hands on her hips.

"Emmm..." Hu Tao wanted to refute, but Hu Tao felt like she couldn't beat the other person.

"So don't even think about lying to me, or I'll steal your hat," Chen Luo threatened Hu Tao.

"Really? I don't believe it?" Hu Tao said, covering her hat.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic. Does your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor have the most expensive and luxurious coffins?" Chen Luo asked.

"I do have some, but what do you plan to use them for?" Hu Tao asked curiously.

"It's for storing myself." Chen Luo pointed to himself.

"??? You... never mind." Hu Tao looked at Chen Luo with some confusion.

But considering that he bought 25 coffins for his friend, and that the friend was from Different World, he didn't need to worry too much about anything strange.

"But these coffins are very expensive; you'll need to pay upfront before we can make one for you," Hu Tao said.

"It's just Mora, right? How expensive can a coffin be? I'll pay the full deposit!" Chen Luo said nonchalantly.

I'm a billionaire with 1.5 billion Mora!

"2 billion Mora".

"Excuse me." Chen Luo lowered his proud head.

Huh? What kind of coffin is that? It's so expensive.

Is it Phoebe zhennan wood?

The world of the rich is truly baffling...

Chapter 335: Make Zhongli the New Geo Archon, and then advertise for the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

Chen Luo, who had just completed the thorough inspection, heard two beeping sounds.

One voice indicating the completion of a task is Hu Tao's "Grand Sale at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor" task, while the other is Lumine's "Exoneration" task.

It seems that Liyue Qixing has already withdrawn the arrest warrant for the other party.

It makes sense, Lumine is at most an unlucky person. She ran away for various reasons and then became a wanted person. She can be said to be quite innocent and unlucky.

Although the immortals haven't arrived yet and seem to be discussing countermeasures, Chen Luo specifically asked Shenhe to describe the other True Lords' attitudes towards Lumine to the Liyue Qixing.

Moreover, what Liyue Qixing should be thinking about right now is not the wanted Lumine who is clearly not an assassin.

As for the arrest warrant being withdrawn, that's fine; it's not a big problem.

"Oh, by the way, Hu Tao. Is the 'Rite of Descension something your Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is supposed to handle?" Chen Luo asked.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Was it you, the hall master, who took action?"

"Well... no. Although I can say I know everything about ordinary funeral rites, matters like the ' Rite of Descension should be left to Zhongli. Besides, you two should have already met, right?"

"By the way, I really like the Geo Archon doll you gave me, thank you." Hu Tao patted Chen Luo on the back familiarly to express her gratitude.

However, Hu Tao patted his back with a little too much force.

Chen Luo suspected that Hu Tao was retaliating against him by using force because she felt she couldn't fool him and therefore couldn't scare him.

Tsk tsk.

"You're welcome, I'm glad you like it." Chen Luo waved his hand.

"I really didn't expect that we would receive a Geo Archon doll and then the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor might receive a Geo Archon. It's truly unpredictable." Hu Tao couldn't help but sigh.

Even the "lively and adorable" little girl, Hu Tao, felt somewhat saddened by this, which is enough to prove just how much impact the passing of the Geo Archon had on the people of Liyue.

"..."

No, I think there might be two.

Chen Luo felt he had something to say.
