It's Better if This Director Protects You

Mora was thrown into the air, and after flipping and turning repeatedly, he landed steadily on the ground.

Bai Ye's lips twitched involuntarily when he saw this scene.

Then, he spoke to Xingqiu:

"I need to go to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor first, and then I will go to see Seven Stars later."

Hearing him say that, Hagintos in Bai Ye's mind was stunned.

"Both sides go to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, so why do you still make it go to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor even when you stand it up? You're making me waste energy and look so silly."

"Teacher, how bored must you be?"

Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe, isn't it because I've accumulated a lot of Floating Stone lately..."

Bai Ye was somewhat speechless.

"Teacher, I didn't say a word just now. If this Mora stands up, I will go to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor to check the Spirit Vehicle."

"My disciple, you truly are worthy of being my student."

Afterwards, Xingqiu Chongyun and the rest of the caravan bid farewell to Bai Ye Shenhe.

Bai Ye took Shenhe to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

"Let me tell you, I know quite a few people in Liyue Harbor, but the one I'm closest to is the head of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor..."

He kept rambling on about the relationship with the Hu Tao.

"Let me tell you, Hu Tao and I are just ordinary friends, completely innocent and pure."

Upon hearing the phrase "ordinary friends," Shenhe instinctively felt uncomfortable.

She was a little unsure where the discomfort came from.

She felt that in her ordinary life, there were still many things she needed to learn.

The best solution at this time is to go directly to Mt. Aocang Okuzō to avoid these troubles.

Shenhe glanced at Bai Ye, and then realized he didn't want to leave.

Wangsheng Funeral Parlor,

As Hu Tao walked, she picked up a book that recorded Adeptal Art and began to study it.

However, the technical jargon listed above gave her a huge headache.

Even as the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, she still had some shortcomings in her professional skills.

"That Zhongli guy, I was just about to ask him about these Adeptal Art, but he suddenly disappeared. Master, we have to wait for him to come before we can study the Adeptal Art."

She muttered to herself, her head throbbing with pain.

Unable to bear it any longer, Hu Tao lay down on the table.

She thought of Bai Ye again; he had been gone for several days and hadn't returned yet.

These past few days, Hu Tao hasn't been able to smell Bai Ye's sweet fragrance, and she's been worried about whether Bai Ye has encountered any danger Bai Ye goes out, so she hasn't been eating or dressing well.

"These guys are always up to something. Next time, I'm definitely going to follow them and see what's going on."

She sat on the stool, took off her shoes, and let her smooth legs swing around on the table.

Lying on the table, Hu Tao gently ground her teeth, seemingly waiting for Bai Ye to appear so she could bite off a piece of his flesh.

At this very moment,

Someone gently tapped on the table where she was lying.

Hu Tao didn't even look up, casually pointing towards the price list of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

"Where's the price list? What do you need?"

Then,

She listened to the clear, melodious voice she had been longing to hear these past few days.

"Hey, hey, hey, I just got here and you're already trying to sell me these things? That's so unlucky!"

Hu Tao looked up in surprise.

"You're here!?"

As Bai Ye sat down opposite her, that pleasant scent wafted over her again, and Hu Tao happily squinted her eyes.

Ah, that feels so good.

Her pair of jade-like legs were stretched out taut under the table.

He kicked Bai Ye.

"You kicked me as soon as I arrived?"

Bai Ye looked at Hu Tao and said resentfully.

I finally made it all the way from outside, and the first thing you do when you see me is kick me.

"Hmph, who told you to disappear for several days? Even if I knew you were going to contact the Adepti, you should have already..."

Before Hu Tao could finish speaking, Yi Shi prepared to 'harden' Bai Ye a few times with her small feet clad in cotton socks.

But then she saw Bai Ye's pale face and his tired and weak expression.

She was startled.

Turning her head, she saw Shenhe standing at the entrance of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, his gaze fixed intently on them.

Something's not right.

She quickly pulled her leg back, put on her shoes, and stood up to stand beside Bai Ye.

Hu Tao pulled Bai Ye aside and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong with you these past few days? What happened? Were you threatened by this woman?"

She recalled some rumors and said to Bai Ye, "Some people are said to be tricked into owing money to loan sharks, and if they can't pay it back, they'll have their blood drained. You're not in that situation either, are you? If you owe money, tell me quickly. Wangsheng Funeral Parlor still has a lot of antiques that Zhongli Li bought, which can be sold for a lot of money."

Zhongli, most of these antiques of yours were paid for through the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor). It's time to use them to extort money from Mora.

Bai Ye listened, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said:

"How could I possibly owe money to loan sharks? Besides, I would never bleed money out of my own pocket."

"So she was just threatening you?"

A spear appeared in Hu Tao's hand, and several flame butterflies floated around it.

"Come, stand behind Hall Master, Hall Master will protect you. You don't have to worry, Hall Master has already seen an immortal technique and has mastered it at this moment."

Hu Tao said earnestly.

Having read it, consider it a temporary learning experience.

Shenhe looked somewhat puzzled.

Why did a spear suddenly appear in Hu Tao's hand after Bai Ye and Hu Tao exchanged a few words, as if Hu Tao wanted to be his enemy?

However, when it comes to fighting, she has never been afraid.

In particular, she felt uneasy seeing Hu Tao looking at Bai Ye.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Bai Ye quickly said to Hu Tao:

"No, she is my friend too."

"Friends? Would a friend stare intently at you?"

"I can't believe it," Hu Tao asked, puzzled.

Shenhe walked over.

"Besides being Bai Ye's friend, I'm also his bodyguard."

She explained to Hu Tao.

"Bodyguards?" Hu Tao shook Hu Tao head in disbelief when she heard Shen Shenhe say that.

"That's impossible. Bai Ye would never be willing to spend money to hire a bodyguard. That stingy guy, I'd rather believe he sold himself into servitude as a bodyguard than hire one himself."

"..."

You have a good eye for people.

"I was ordered by my master to be Bai Ye's bodyguard."

Shenhe said earnestly.

At that moment, she picked up the talisman and used it on her chest.

Oh, so it's free? I believe Bai Ye would do that.

Hu Tao thought to himself.

At that moment, she also clearly felt that in terms of various strengths, she seemed to have a slight gap with her.

Damn it...

Hu Tao was a little depressed.

At this time,

She wanted to ask a question.

Pointing to Bai Ye's pale face, he asked:

"Since you're his bodyguard, why is he so weak right now? What happened to him?"

Bai Ye, look, your bodyguard, whom you got for free, is still no good.

No matter how powerful she was—oh, no, no, no matter how strong she was, she still couldn't protect you.

It's more appropriate for you to have the Hall Master protect you.
