Hu Tao: How Could They Be So Big!?

"Teacher, let's calculate how many fragments of Gods or other things we can take from our hands."

After putting the bone away, Bai Ye began to plot with the Hagintos in his mind.

"Teacher, you killed the Gods of the Sea, that's one. Then there's the Gods of the Sea who can strip people of their Seven Senses, that's another. Now there's the Salt God. Let's explore her ruins this time and see if she has any good stuff."

Bai Ye was still quite enthusiastic about looting corpses. However, before, he was just a looting Treasure Hoarders, Hilichurl, who at most looted a Fatui corpse. Now, he was actually going to loot Gods God's corpse, and he was excited.

I wonder how much this level has improved.

"Your expression is a bit terrifying, isn't it?" Looking at Bai Ye's expression, Hagintos couldn't help but shudder. Looking at Bai Ye's expression now, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was dead and not even a trace left, otherwise her disciple could have looted her corpse and squeezed all the value out of her body after death, which would have been too terrifying.

How could someone as handsome as you develop such a vicious heart?

To bring disaster to Japan, she quickly said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, don't forget, you can access more than just these three remnants of the Gods."

"What!? There's more, there's more?"

Bai Ye asked with some excitement.

"Do you remember who the previous 'Death' Demon Gods was?"

"How would I know? I didn't experience the Archon War." Bai Ye immediately shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, when he heard Hagintos say that. "If you want to talk about the incident five hundred years ago, I do know who was in trouble, but the question is, would I dare to ask for it?"

Let alone remains, even if Raiden Ei were to ask for the Makoto, it would be a miracle if Raiden Ei didn't slice itself in two.

"Morax! Don't forget that Morax's remains are still here," Hagintos said in his pathetic tone.

"Is this really okay?"

Although Zhongli seems indifferent to others' prying eyes at his remains, isn't it a bit excessive for them to actually dismantle his remains for parts?

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm afraid of getting beaten up.

Hmm, I can inquire about it in a couple of days. Since you faked your death, could you give me your remains?

Thinking about it, it's pretty reckless, but this kind of recklessness is so exciting.

In the room of Bai Ye, looking at Serenitea Pot floating in mid-air, the three of them— Hu Tao Shenhe, and Xiangling— were all a little puzzled.

"This guy actually ran into the Serenitea Pot. Are we supposed to eat him?"

Seeing that Bai Ye had actually entered the Serenitea Pot, Hu Tao said with dissatisfaction.

As soon as she said that, she immediately drew a disdainful look from Guoba.

Its expression seemed to be telling Hu Tao, "Aren't you the same? If we hadn't been there just now, you probably would have gone straight to touch Bai Ye's leg."

"Well, it's just out of concern from a regular friend," Hu Tao said, waving her hand.

She looked at Shenhe and Xiangling, "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you two, Bai Ye would be sharing a bed with me."

Xiangling thought for a moment, then said to Hu Tao and Shenhe, "I... I feel that our concern is scaring Bai Ye. After all, he's still just a child."

Hu Tao and Shenhe remained silent.

Indeed, Bai Ye is far too young. She's a year younger than Hu Tao, a year or two younger than Xiangling, and the age difference with Shenhe is even greater. Her relationships with Xiangling and Hu Tao are considered older woman/younger man romances, but compared to Shenhe, there's a noticeable age difference in their physiques.

"So, what should we do?"

Shenhe spoke to Xiangling and asked.

"We can't keep coming to see Bai Ye at night." Xiangling gripped her spear tightly and said through gritted teeth, "We've been stalemate lately, and there's been no progress on our dreams. So, what I mean is that we should keep our distance and start competing openly."

Guoba was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes immediately lit up.

Since she's too scared to go, I can't keep bringing her along. So, it would be best if no one could come at all.

Ah~

Hearing what Xiangling said, Hu Tao's face showed a bitter expression.

I don't feel comfortable sleeping if I don't go to see Bai Ye at night...

Hu Tao looked at the pillow she had picked up.

However, after Bai Ye, who was currently hiding in the Dust -Serenitea Pot, Hu Tao thought for a moment and then gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I will not come looking for him without reason until he agrees to become Guest Official of our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

It seems I need to think of a way to make Bai Ye Guest Official of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor as soon as possible.

I absolutely must succeed!!!

Zhongli, help me!

Hu Tao thought to herself.

"Well, if I can ensure Bai Ye's safety, I can ask my senior sister if she needs any help. I'll be staying at the Yuehai Pavilion for a while."

Shenhe thought about it for a while, and although he was reluctant, he agreed to it.

She was confident she wouldn't lose, after all, she was the strongest among the three. Bai Ye would definitely need her in the future. Furthermore, her and Bai Ye's immortal Adeptal Art were the same, both learned from the Cloud Retainer. Perhaps her immortal Adeptal Art could even increase the damage of his Art of Automata.

Hu Tao and Xiangling both saw through Shenhe's thoughts, and each felt a little resentful. "We know you are strong, but we will continue to improve. Besides, compared to your strength, we are not without advantages."

Hu Tao thought about the immortal Adeptal Art she cultivated, her advantage lay in speed and, most importantly, a single, decisive strike. At that time, Zhen and Bai Ye teamed up, and I would support him. As long as the enemies were killed, Bai Ye could safely unleash his Art of Automata.

As for Xiangling, she was also unconvinced. Grandma Yu taught her how to use a spear, which was enough to protect Bai Ye. No matter how strong you are, you can't protect them all, but I can.

The three of them exchanged glances, immediately preparing to take the next step.

Next,

They took one last look and then left together.

Next time, they will definitely come here alone.

"No, next time it won't be me coming here, it'll be Bai Ye moving to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

Hu Tao muttered to herself.

HutaoPangshengtang,

At that moment, she noticed that the lights were still on.

Pushing open the door, she looked at Zhongli, who was still sipping tea, and said with some surprise:

"Zhongli, you're still awake?"

After saying that, she looked a little embarrassed.

The right foot is placed behind the left foot, and the toes are constantly moving, as if the parent has caught the person playing with someone of the opposite sex late at night.

"Yes, I drank a few extra cups of tea here."

Zhongli nodded slightly.

He had been watching Hu Tao the whole time Hu Tao went into Bai Ye's house and then came out. However, the distance was too far, and he couldn't see their conversation clearly. But judging from Hu Tao came out, he knew that although she hadn't won, she was full of competitive spirit.

Hu Tao walked over, looked at Zhongli, and said to him with an even more serious expression:

"Zhongli, I want to become stronger again. Now you can tell me where I can train to improve my strength."

"Yes, Master." Zhongli nodded, then pointed along the window towards the north of Liyue Harbor. "Master, do you remember that pillar in the north of Liyue Harbor?"

"That... that's where the [La Signora] is sealed, isn't it?" Hu Tao nodded. Then, as if remembering something, she looked at Zhongli with a surprised expression. "You mean I can go inside and fight the [La Signora]? Putting aside whether I can even go in, even if I do go in..."

"I can't beat her either!"

Hu Tao was quite clear about this. Her strength was what it was; compared to the "La Signora," her combat power was far inferior.

"If you weren't Guest Official of my Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, I would suspect that you were deliberately trying to harm me."

"Within the rock, her strength has been greatly weakened. Now, her strength is just right to serve as your sparring partner, Hall Master. Of course, her strength may recover with combat practice, but you can also bring your teammates to participate in the trial."

Zhongli said to Hu Tao while drinking his tea.

Hu Tao will practice first, and then find Bai Ye to team up with.

"Okay, I'll go check it out right away." Hu Tao immediately rushed off to check it out. The sleep she got on Bai Ye's side was all deep sleep, and a few hours of sleep was enough to fully replenish her energy.

Hu Tao trusted Zhongli completely; she believed that Zhongli and Bai Ye would never harm her. However, as they reached the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she looked at Zhongli with a suspicious expression once again.

"Are you really not Adepti?"

"No."

Zhongli denied it again.

However, no further explanation was given.

He didn't care at all if Hu Tao had any doubts about him. Anyway, once Guizhong was resurrected, there would definitely be no point in hiding his identity anymore.

He had originally planned to live a peaceful retirement at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, so he naturally pretended to be just an ordinary person. Now that his Guizhong were approaching, what was the point of retiring?

"Okay, I believe you!"

Hu Tao waved her hand and said.

However, in her heart, she was absolutely certain that Zhongli was Adepti. If he weren't Adepti, how could he know so much and help her so much?

"Sigh, I should have asked Bai Ye for a device that can record audio and video earlier. I could have recorded Zhongli's words for him, and then played the recording after he revealed his identity. Let's see if he feels embarrassed then."

In her heart, Hu Tao regarded Zhongli as an Adepti as well.

"Big Qiuqiu is sick, Second Qiuqiu, go see..."

Humming a song, she jogged northwards.

Liyue Harbor was brightly lit, and when she arrived at the bridge, there were still Millelith stationed there. Seeing Hu Tao about to walk outside, Millelith asked her curiously, "Director Hu, what are you doing out so late at night?"

"Of course, it's about doing business!"

Hu Tao said casually.

Doing business!?

Upon hearing what Hu Tao said, the Millelith immediately trembled with tension.

Note: Please be careful.

"I'm so nervous," the soldier said.

"Of course!" Hu Tao waved to the soldier and then walked away.

Soon, Hu Tao arrived at the location north of Liyue Harbor.

Upon seeing the stone pillar, she began to touch its upper body.

"Um?"

Why isn't it moving? Hu Tao felt herself touching the stone pillar, but found that there was no reaction at all.

However, she quickly realized what was happening, and then a red light appeared in her hand and pressed it onto the surface.

Hu Tao realized that not just anyone could enter. Zhongli had summoned her without giving her anything, so unless he had forgotten, it meant she knew the way in. After much thought, she concluded that among all the things she already knew, the most suitable was Adeptal Art. Sure enough, after casting her Adeptal Art, she discovered a suction force emanating from the stone pillar.

Then, she disappeared right in front of the stone pillar.

Hu Tao felt a blur before her eyes, and when she felt her feet firmly on the ground again, she found herself on a suspended island.

"This is actually inside a stone pillar?"

Hu Tao said with some curiosity.

She had thought that the stone pillar was inside a completely enclosed arena.

Just as she was thinking this, a woman's voice came from afar.

"Yes, this is a small world created using the Adeptal Art of Adepti."

Hu Tao turned to look, La Signora Rosalyn walked over with an arrogant gait. In her hand was a whip.

Even when imprisoned, one should maintain an elegant demeanor.

Rosalyn thought to herself.

Hu Tao watched Rosalyn approach, her eyes gradually widening.

"How... how is this possible? It's so big, no way..."

The little Hu Tao looked terrified.

However, this fear was quickly followed by a change of resolve.

I must defeat the Great Demon King.

Rosalyn looked at the Hu Tao and couldn't help but puff out her chest.

She was big all over; her height was not only shorter than Hu Tao's, but also taller than most men.

He straightened his chest.

"It turned out to be a little girl who came in."

Her tone was sarcastic.

However, she was somewhat relieved by Hu Tao's arrival. Regardless of the visitor's purpose, at least for the past few days, someone had finally come to keep her company.

Seeing the trembling Hu Tao, Rosalyn gently flicked her whip.

"Are you afraid or angry right now?"

She said to Hu Tao with a smile.

"Of course I'm furious! The Fatui are our enemies, and naturally I must defeat them!"

Hu Tao picked up the gun from behind her and shouted at Rosalyn.

"Bring it on, you bastard!" Rosalyn raised her whip, her brows furrowing slightly.

My strength is still being suppressed too much, and I'm not quite used to using it.
