After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill at Wanmin Restaurant, they paid the bill and said goodbye to Xiangling and Chef Mao. The Stellaron Hunters then split up, with Stellaron Essence and Cyrene planning to explore other parts of Liyue.
Old Yang, meanwhile, was drawn to Liyue's fishing enthusiasts. He excitedly took a fishing rod and sat down by the shore to fish.
Theresa slowly made her way to the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor with Himeko in her arms. A girl with Plum Blossom Eyes was looking up, angrily saying something to Zhong Li, so Theresa approached curiously, still holding Himeko.
"Consultant Zhong Li, could you please stop buying so many expensive antiques and jade pendants? Almost more than half the Mora I've earned lately has gone toward covering your bills. Can't you spare me some worry?"
"And now you've spent nine hundred thousand Mora on a jade pendant. My heavens!"
"You've just wiped out a huge chunk of the Mora I earned yesterday!"
Hu Tao called out helplessly to Zhong Li, who was calmly toying with the jade pendant. Her voice was filled with resignation.
She couldn't bring herself to say anything too harsh. After all, this consultant was someone her grandfather had known, although she had no idea how a young man like Consultant Zhong Li had become such good friends with her grandfather...
And over the years, Consultant Zhong Li had indeed helped the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor a great deal, especially by helping keep it running when she was still little.
To her, Consultant Zhong Li was something of both a father and an older brother.
Besides, Consultant Zhong Li knew a great many things she didn't. He even knew obscure funeral rites and their requirements!
If that were all, Hu Tao would undoubtedly have been delighted.
