Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"What's wrong, young man? Are you not willing?" 

The elderly woman noticed the hesitation in Nathan's eyes and spoke with some emotion in her voice.

"It's not that I'm not satisfied, it's just that I've never even met your granddaughter!" Nathan said with a bitter smile. Even as a spirit, this type of being still loved to play matchmaker.

"Hmph, young man, let me tell you, my granddaughter is beloved by all - she's as beautiful as a flower. She weighs over 200 jin, clearly the type who would bear children well."

While the first half of the description was fine, the latter half made Nathan increasingly bewildered. He mentally screamed, "My goodness, she's like a Tiger tank!"

He could picture it now - unfortunately, he wasn't a tank driver. (lol)

"Auntie, let's forget about this. I really couldn't handle your granddaughter!" Nathan quickly spoke up, stopping the elderly woman's desire to continue. This earned him a roll of her eyes.

"Hmph, young man, what kind of standards do you have? You should know that people looking to arrange marriage with my granddaughter have worn down our doorstep!"

"Well... Auntie, let me ask about your family's circumstances."

When the elderly woman heard Nathan's question, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Oh my, it's nothing special - just five or six properties in Liyue Harbor."

"..."

Now Nathan understood everything. No wonder so many people came to arrange marriages - they all wanted to marry into wealth.

"So, are you interested now, young man?"

"Ahem, ahem, forget it, Auntie. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of such fortune!"

Nathan desperately tried to use coughing to interrupt - he really couldn't handle a 200-jin tank!

"Sigh... alright then. Young man, you should leave quickly. This old woman needs to pass on!"

The elderly woman heaved a heavy sigh, as if Nathan had truly missed out on an excellent marriage prospect.

"Yes, yes, I'll leave right now..."

Having found an excuse to escape, Nathan hastily chose to leave this troublesome place. He feared that if he stayed longer, more elderly spirit women would appear, trying to introduce him to various "tanks."

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

Following the direction indicated by that elderly spirit woman, Nathan made his way into the gray mist.

In conditions where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face, his vision was completely obscured.

Like a headless fly, he walked straight in one direction without looking back.

Everything around him was silent. Just as Nathan thought he was about to break through this gray mist, an unfamiliar hand landed on his shoulder.

"Hmm? Who is it?"

Nathan could clearly feel that the hand on his shoulder was unusually cold - clearly another spirit.

When he turned around, he was faced with a kindly old man.

With gray-white hair and a gray-white beard, he had the appearance of someone highly respected.

"Young man, you are a living being who doesn't belong here. Why have you come to this place?"

The old man wore pure black clothing, and his wrinkled face showed a benevolent smile.

"Hello, elder. I don't know why I came here either, I'm preparing to leave now."

Faced with this kindly old man, Nathan could only repeat what he had said earlier.

"Mm, this is the border between life and death. It's best for the living to leave early!"

The old man stroked his beard, carefully examining Nathan.

"Elder, is there anything else? If not, I'll take my leave!"

Being scrutinized by the other's gaze made him uncomfortable, so Nathan quickly spoke up.

"Young man, what is your name? This old one actually has a matter that needs your help!"

"Me?... This junior is called Nathan. May I ask what help the elder needs?"

Nathan responded respectfully, though in his heart he had already made up his mind. He had no connection to this old man, so if it was something very difficult, it would be better to decline.

"Don't worry, young man. It's nothing difficult."

The old man's reassuring gaze seemed to have seen through Nathan's thoughts.

"Elder, are you telling the truth?"

There was a hint of doubt in Nathan's voice; he felt the other party had specifically targeted him.

"Of course. After the matter is done, how about this old one betroths his lovely granddaughter to you?"

"..."

The old man's reply left him speechless.

Was this because of that blue talent - Spirit's Favor, or was it that Nathan's appearance matched these people's aesthetics?

Why did every spirit he met want to marry off their granddaughter to him?

"Elder, let me ask, how old is your granddaughter?"

"Ah haha, this old one's lovely granddaughter is already thirteen years old!"

"....."

The old man's reply was met with another moment of silence from Nathan.

He looked at the old man with a strange expression - wanting to arrange a marriage for a thirteen-year-old girl.

"Brother Nathan, don't worry. In Liyue, many people marry at twelve!"

"This...."

But Nathan didn't want to! This would send him to prison! Too criminal! Truly arrestable!

"Let's forget it, elder. We can discuss this topic when your granddaughter is grown up!"

Nathan finally chose to reluctantly reject the other party. If Ningguang and the others found out he had become entangled with a thirteen-year-old girl, they would probably come at him with cleavers.

"Don't be so quick to refuse. The favor I want to ask is also related to my granddaughter!"

"But elder, you're already a spirit, and I've never met your granddaughter. I'm afraid I can't help!"

Nathan waved his hands, trying to refuse this old man like he had refused the elderly woman.

"No matter, you'll see my granddaughter soon."

"What do you mean? Is your granddaughter also a spirit like you?"

Nathan felt somewhat speechless. Even in this state, he still wanted to marry off his granddaughter - was this trying to create a romance between the living and dead?

"No, this old one's granddaughter is alive like you, Brother Nathan. However, after this old one's death, she developed a deep obsession. Now... she has entered Wuwang Hill to search for this old one!"

"Wait, you said your granddaughter is thirteen years old, and now she's come here to find you?"

Nathan repeated the old man's words, feeling increasingly familiar with this situation.

"Yes, is something wrong?"

"Let me ask one more thing - elder, your identity is...?"

To Nathan's question, the old man patted his chest and said with a smile.

"This old one is the 75th Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, and my granddaughter... is the future 77th Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"
