Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

At Wanmin Restaurant, the three of them still went to the back door, with Hu Tao leading them inside.

As the future master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, Hu Tao wasn't actually that urgent about the revival her father mentioned.

The main reason being that her nominal good daughter was hungry.

Heaven or earth could wait - Qiqi came first..

.

Even if the sky was falling, they had to feed their daughter first.

Unfortunately, the current Hu Tao was as flat as a board, not equipped for feeding, so they had to come seek help from her good friend again.

...............

They quietly entered Wanmin Restaurant's backyard, though this time they couldn't tease Xiangling like last time.

"Hu Tao, what are you sneaking around planning to do again?"

The little chef was currently washing ingredients in the yard.

The moment Hu Tao appeared, she had already noticed her.

"Ahahaha, I'm not planning anything!"

Hu Tao laughed pretending ignorance, though she felt a bit disappointed at not being able to tease her friend.

"Coming to see me early in the morning, you must be up to no good!"

In Xiangling's understanding, her good friend was a night owl, rarely appearing this early.

"Not at all, I came to ask for Xiangling's help."

Hu Tao grabbed her good friend's wrist and began acting coquettish.

"Wait, Hu Tao don't be hasty, tell me what's going on first!"

The little chef, being shaken back and forth, rolled her eyes at her.

"Well... Xiangling, actually my good daughter is hungry, so we came to find something to eat here!"

"Good daughter???"

Hearing these words, Xiangling paused in surprise.

It was then that she noticed Qiqi behind Hu Tao.

"Hu Tao, this little sister is...?"

However, since the little chef basically spent all her time learning culinary arts at Wanmin Restaurant and had never been to Bubu Pharmacy, she naturally hadn't met Qiqi the apprentice.

"What little sister? Qiqi is my daughter. Or... does Xiangling want to call me auntie?"

Hu Tao's eyes narrowed into slits, inadvertently taking advantage of her good friend again.

"Qiqi? Daughter... Hu Tao, are you serious?"

Looking at the little girl who was only a head shorter than Hu Tao, these two looked more like sisters.

"Qiqi, come prove it to Xiangling!"

Hu Tao held the little girl's delicate hand and brought her forward.

"Mother Hu Tao!!!"

"Hiss!"

The latter obediently spoke up, making Xiangling draw in another sharp breath.

People often say not seeing someone for a day feels like three autumns, but her good friend was even more impressive.

Just one day without seeing her, and she already had such a big daughter.

"Little sister... your name is Qiqi?"

Xiangling bent down, looking at Qiqi's cute zombie costume, feeling there was a huge difference from normal children.

But since she was also young, she couldn't quite explain this difference.

"I am Qiqi, seven of one-two-three... four-five-six-seven!"

"Such an obedient child, then Qiqi who is your father?"

"Father?.... Father Nathan!"

Following Xiangling's question, Qiqi finally turned her gaze to Nathan.

"Mr. Nathan, Hu Tao is still young, how could you do this!"

Goodness gracious, Xiangling exclaimed internally.

One day unseen, and he had become even more suspicious.

"No... Xiangling you misunderstand, actually it's like this..."

With the little chef's scrutinizing gaze like examining a criminal, Nathan felt if he didn't explain, she might call the Millelith.

"So, you're saying Qiqi is basically like an adopted child?"

After a series of explanations, Xiangling finally understood the relationship.

However, her expression was still somewhat strange - could her rambunctious good friend, who hadn't grown up herself, really handle being a mother?

"Hehe, now you understand, Xiangling. Qiqi is hungry and wants milk, so I had to come find you!"

At the mention of milk, the more precocious Xiangling instantly understood.

She crossed her arms, looking at the other warily.

"Wait, Hu Tao I don't have that kind of thing either!"

"Hehe, I mean coconut milk, Xiangling don't think weird things!!!"

At this, Hu Tao laughed loudly at successfully teasing her good friend.

She had deliberately been vague earlier, specifically wanting to see Xiangling's embarrassed reaction.

"Sigh... Hu Tao really, you could have just said coconut milk from the start!"

"Mm-hmm, actually... Xiangling yourself wouldn't be impossible."

Looking at her good friend's chest, Hu Tao's tone carried a hint of sourness.

They were the same age, yet how was Xiangling so much more developed than her.

"No, no, absolutely not!"

This completely filled Xiangling's cheeks with blush.

Even with Qiqi's longing gaze, she firmly waved in refusal.

Joking aside, she was still an unmarried maiden.

She wasn't even of age yet, how could she solve Qiqi's hunger problem.

What if something went wrong when actually doing it.

"I'll just go get you some coconut milk..."

Saying this, Xiangling ran into the inner hall without looking back.

"Hehe, successfully teased Xiangling, now Qiqi's meals are secured!"

Hu Tao hugged Qiqi's delicate figure, saying with a smile.

Nathan exclaimed internally - they were treating Wanmin Restaurant as a long-term meal ticket!

............................

"Nathan, how do you think we should revive the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor?"

After Qiqi's mealtime ended, on the way back, Hu Tao finally remembered the task her father had given them.

"Uh..."

Nathan didn't know what to do either. For a place like Wangsheng Funeral Parlor that handled Liyue's funerals, shouldn't they just wait for business to come?

"Nathan, think of something quick?"

Seeing him freeze up, while holding Qiqi's small hand, Hu Tao kept acting coquettish with him.

"I think... logically speaking, we should increase Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's reputation!"

After saying this he shook his head again, a business like Wangsheng Funeral Parlor that had been passed down through generations should already have a good reputation in Liyue, there was no need to consider awareness.

"I got it... let's advertise, let more people see Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's sincerity."

"Advertise? How do you advertise something like this?"

Nathan was confused, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor had no competitors in Liyue, surely they didn't need to advertise funeral services!

"Hehe, I've already thought of the slogan... it'll be 'Wangsheng Cremation, Second One at Half Price!'"
