Chapter 112: Chapter 112
[Hu Family Son-in-Law Act 3 begins, you need to revive the declining Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!]
What's going on?
Why did this random Hu Family Son-in-Law quest suddenly have a third phase?
And this third phase task required reviving the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
But from what Nathan could see, the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, which had been passed down for so many years, wasn't really declining.
He couldn't understand it, and this simulation system was always like a riddler.
Only giving tiny bits of information, leaving everything else to guesswork.
Every time Nathan tried to ask more, this darned system would enter sleep mode.
"Mmm...."
"Mmm...."
At this moment, movement came from the two girls on either side of him.
Qiqi and Hu Tao woke up simultaneously next to Nathan.
"Father..."
"Nathan..."
Both girls opened their eyes at the same time, one with fire-red plum blossom pupils, the other with pure purple eyes.
Both colored pairs of eyes immediately focused their attention on Nathan.
"Good morning, Qiqi!"
"Good morning, Hu Tao!"
Meeting their still drowsy gazes, Nathan greeted both left and right.
"Mmm... morning... Father!"
Qiqi rubbed her sleepy eyes, her demeanor incredibly cute.
"Good morning, Qiqi!"
Since both girls each occupied half of Nathan's position, Hu Tao could easily move closer to the little girl.
"Morning... Mother Hu Tao... kiss!"
With Hu Tao's pretty face close by, Qiqi's cute little mouth opened slightly.
Last night, the little girl had already written "mama" after Hu Tao's name in her personal notebook.
The zombie girl with poor memory planned to use this method to remember her completely.
"Hehe, Qiqi's so good, here's your kiss!"
Hu Tao grew increasingly fond of this nominal daughter.
Before, she wanted to bury the little girl because zombie characteristics had transcended the boundaries of life and death.
Now that she was her daughter, she wanted to cherish her in the palm of her hand, afraid that Qiqi might melt away.
"Chu!"
Meeting that expectant gaze, her thin lips finally pressed against the other's smooth forehead.
After receiving Hu Tao's morning greeting, the little girl turned her attention back to Nathan.
"Father, kiss!!!"
Well, it seemed the little one wanted equal treatment.
To not disappoint Qiqi, Nathan mimicked Hu Tao's earlier action, giving a fleeting kiss to the other side of her forehead.
The momentary contact transmitted a cool sensation.
This feeling was like eating a refreshing popsicle on a hot summer day, a blissful intoxication.
Sure enough, after Nathan withdrew, Qiqi showed a rare happy smile.
Her pure purple eyes swayed left and right, her little mind still thinking.
But quickly, she said something that delighted Hu Tao and petrified Nathan.
"Father, Mother Hu Tao, you should kiss too!!!"
In the little girl's understanding, kissing was an expression of happiness.
So naturally, Hu Tao and Nathan should share one too.
"Uh... Qiqi, that's not appropriate, Hu Tao and I should pass!"
"What's inappropriate about it... Nathan, this is Qiqi's wish!"
Before he could refuse, Hu Tao had already denied his rejection.
Hu Tao's heart was full of joy, truly a daughter was a mother's best treasure.
She hadn't even made a move, and Qiqi had already automatically provided support.
"No... no need, you'll set a bad example for the child!"
"Eh... it's just a normal good morning kiss, why does Nathan think it would set a bad example..."
Catching the blind spot in his words, Hu Tao instantly gained the upper hand.
"Or... are Nathan's thoughts impure?"
Hu Tao's pretty face drew closer, completely taking on the air of a false accuser.
"How could that be, I'm a very proper person."
"Then it's fine, I won't eat Nathan!"
To this, Nathan thought, 'Like hell I'll believe you.'
Who really had impure thoughts? That was obvious.
Whether in the future or now, whenever it came to the most outrageous actions, it was always Hu Tao who made the first move.
"Father, Mother, kiss!!!"
Qiqi continued to provide support at this crucial moment, making Hu Tao internally exclaim 'good daughter'...
"See, Nathan, you can't disappoint Qiqi..."
Her lips curving upward, Hu Tao made no attempt to hide her smile.
"Well in that case, don't go too far... Qiqi is watching..."
"Hehe, Nathan don't worry, when have I ever troubled you!"
Nathan watched her vigilantly, Hu Tao was never one to behave.
"Don't... don't get so close, Hu Tao you're aiming at the wrong place..."
Just as he sensed, the girl didn't play by the rules from the start.
After getting close, she wasn't aiming for his forehead.
"Mmm.. mmm.. mmm.."
He wanted to speak again, but Nathan couldn't make a sound.
His defenses had been completely broken by Hu Tao, now he could only let the girl enjoy her victory.
"Wow....!"
However, on the other side, Qiqi was still watching.
Seeing Hu Tao's actions towards Nathan, her pure purple eyes began to sparkle.
So this was how kissing should be done, she had learned new knowledge today.
The forgetful zombie girl prepared to record it in her personal notebook, planning to do the same to Nathan next time.
...........................
The sun was high in the sky when the three of them left Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.
However, when leaving, they met Hu Tao's father again.
After playing kindly with Qiqi, his nominal granddaughter, the middle-aged man made a request to Nathan.
The request was to have him and Hu Tao revive the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor together.
According to him, after Hu Tao's grandfather passed away, the funeral parlor's business gradually fell into decline.
Since the middle-aged man was rather ordinary, he chose to entrust this important task to his acknowledged son-in-law.
To this, Nathan could only helplessly accept.
Though it was said to be Hu Tao's father's request, it was more likely a task issued by the system.
However, before planning what to do, Hu Tao and he chose to first visit Wanmin Restaurant.
The reason for going there was simple - because Qiqi was hungry....
