In the end, Sora agreed to Wendy's request, while Kurumi wandered aimlessly through the streets. After all, Kurumi was a mortal and did not possess the power of Wendy, making her less likely to be spied on by the rulers.
So, Hu Tao can also gather intelligence...?
"Take a look! Check it out! The Rebirth Hall Otherworld Organization! Buy one get one free! Buy two get three free! Door-to-door service! You won't regret it! You won't be cheated! Sir, come and take a look!"
On a normally dreary morning, a lively voice suddenly broke in. The numb faces of the crowd turned in the direction of the voice, only to see that the house that had been uninhabited for a long time had been completely renovated. The words "Wang Sheng Tang" were written on the roof, and at the entrance, a young girl dressed in very revealing clothes was energetically calling out.
It was as if a world of vibrant colors had suddenly burst into a black and white world, and everyone took a second look.
However, this was not unusual for Hu Tao. After all, she often faced rejection when she was in Liyue. It could be said that Hu Tao was used to being ignored.
But Hu Tao kept shouting, refusing to believe that under such a cold-hearted ruler, there wouldn't be people who could die peacefully.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before Hu Tao received a ton of requests. Hu Tao was overjoyed, and some people even asked to work for her.
"One at a time, no rush, no rush. I have plenty of time, don't be impatient." Hu Tao grabbed Xiao and Wendy to do manual labor temporarily. Xiao wasn't really keen on doing it, given Hu Tao's personality. If he really helped her with the work, Zhong Li would definitely find out when they got back. What would Zhong Li think of him then?
The mighty Monkey King, who vanquishes demons, actually works for his boss's boss, and what's worse, his boss's boss respects him greatly.
Oh no, my head is so itchy! Is it going to grow a brain?
But looking at Wendy's enthusiastic appearance, it seems that as long as it's not related to the fate of the nation, Wendy is very interested. Moreover, he learns very quickly. As long as Hu Tao gives a simple explanation, Wendy immediately understands how to get started. People who don't know Wendy think he was born to do this job.
The problem is, Venti isn't even a Liyue native.
After Wendy and Kurumi selected a few qualified individuals, the Otherworld branch of the Hall of Rebirth was officially opened. Kurumi was responsible for providing the coffins. Fortunately, Kurumi had a lot of coffins in her God's Eye. Don't ask why, just think that she might run into business on the road. With this in mind, Kurumi had so many coffins in her God's Eye.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough.
Since she didn't know how long she'd be staying here, Hu Tao planned to develop her business here so that when she went back, she could add a line to her promotional slogan:
Slogans like "Wang Sheng Tang has cross-planetary business and is your best choice!"
This will definitely boost sales significantly. Hu Tao thought happily.
Wendy and Xiao started slacking off after a day or two of work. Xiao was alright, as he could still do some part-time work as a guard, but Wendy... Wendy had completely disappeared.
On the contrary, a young boy often frequented the tavern. Despite his young age, his alcohol tolerance far surpassed that of most adults, and he possessed a beautiful singing voice, reciting stories they had never heard before, each with a happy ending. Mountains, streams, small bridges, houses arranged in a pleasing pattern, smiling families, a happy and fulfilling life—which of these isn't something everyone yearns for?
Gradually, people's dissatisfaction with the ruler grew, and their emotions rose higher and higher. However, some people were afraid of death and poured cold water on them, extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm.
"What should be done about the ability to make one's words law?"
Yes, rulers have the power to make their words law. If the first extermination of the entire Siphondos clan was just a coincidence, then several other families were targeted afterward. Almost as soon as the words were spoken, the people died. After that, the voices of resistance disappeared.
People could only imagine the stories told by the boy. As they thought about them, beautiful images seemed to appear before everyone's eyes, as if they were real. No one dared to reach out, for fear that if they touched them, these beautiful things would be destroyed.
Seeing that everyone around her had their eyes tightly closed and looked relaxed, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. The seed had been planted; as for how to make it take root and sprout, Wendy looked towards the place where the ruler lived. Kong should have already infiltrated there.
(Since the author couldn't think of a way to describe how to sneak into this empty space, please use your imagination.)
Several weeks passed before I saw Kong again.
"Traveler, you're back?" Wendy was slacking off when she saw Kong return, quite surprised. After all, so much time had passed since the mission; if he was back, he must have succeeded, right? "Wait, Traveler, your wounds..." Wendy immediately noticed something was wrong with Kong. Although he didn't seem to have any external wounds, his internal energy was disordered.
It's already quite impressive that Kong was able to keep going this far.
"Help...help..." Empty's lips moved, Venti was a little anxious. The wind elemental first roughly regulated the energy within Empty's body, because this did not seem to be the work of the ruler, but rather the work of that player from the Star of Sickness. Not knowing the exact situation, Venti dared not move rashly. If he really wanted to treat it, perhaps the only options were for the Traveler to heal himself or go to the Bubu Lodge in Liyue to find Bai Shu for treatment.
"Help...help Paimon, Paimon, Paimon has been captured." After saying this, Kong collapsed.
"Traveler!" Wendy's eyes widened slightly, her voice so loud that it startled Xiao and Kurumi.
"What's wrong with the Traveler?" Hu Tao wasn't panicked at all; on the contrary, she seemed quite surprised and even took out the coffin. "The Traveler said that Paimon has been captured, and the energy within him is very chaotic. It must be the work of the Star of Sickness." Wendy sensed it carefully, his brows furrowed tightly.
Xiao bent down to sense the contents of Kong's body. It was indeed chaotic. Hu Tao thought for a moment, then a small butterfly fluttered onto her fingertip and slipped into the Traveler's mouth. "Perhaps this can temporarily suppress it." Hu Tao's plum-blossom eyes showed unprecedented seriousness. Although this little butterfly couldn't suppress it for long, it wouldn't be a bad idea if it provided a temporary relief.
Most viruses are afraid of high temperatures, and coincidentally, Walnut is the eye of the fire element, which can destroy some of them. However, there are always some viruses in the world that are not afraid of high temperatures, so they can stay in the empty body.
