Chapter 380

Hu Tao looked at Takumi in astonishment.

"You mean the Demon God who perished in Guili Plains, Guizhong?"

"The Demon God who allied with Rex Lapis during the Archon War?"

She stared at Takumi in disbelief.

Hearing her words, Takumi nodded.

"That's right, it's her."

"Rex Lapis asked me to resurrect her."

This time, Hu Tao was stunned.

Guizhong, the gentle Demon God?

Good grief, what a surprise.

Hu Tao truly hadn't expected this.

However, recalling the messages Takumi had sent her before, she quickly became upset.

"Bah! You lied to me again."

"You even said she was Zhongli's fiancée."

"You're such a liar!"

After saying this, Hu Tao glared at Takumi.

"Well!"

"It's complicated to explain."

"But now I've told you the truth, haven't I?"

"Still, don't go spreading this around."

"Guizhong's identity is special."

"Many people in Liyue today are descendants of those who perished in the past."

"If this gets out, things could become very complicated."

Hearing Takumi's words, Hu Tao pouted.

"Of course, I know that."

"During the Archon War, she died in battle, and Guili Plains was reduced to ruins."

"Then Rex Lapis relocated the survivors to what is now Liyue Harbor."

"After so many years, people have fully integrated."

"Bringing this up now would be troublesome."

After saying that, Hu Tao sighed inwardly.

Guizhong had been a very gentle Demon God.

From various unofficial histories, she had read about Guizhong's deeds.

She was kind and compassionate.

A god who loved her people deeply.

Unfortunately, she had perished.

But now, Takumi had resurrected her.

If Guizhong had survived the Archon War, with her intelligence and wisdom, Liyue today might have been even more extraordinary.

A brilliant mind paired with the strength of an Archon.

Shaking her head, Hu Tao didn't dwell on it.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel amused.

"I really can't believe it."

"Rex Lapis and Guizhong had such a history."

Right now, Hu Tao cared more about the gossip than the serious matters.

Takumi shrugged when he heard this.

Who knew?

There wasn't much else he could say about it.

Takumi preferred to focus on Keqing, Ningguang, Ganyu, and the others rather than dwell on Zhongli and Guizhong's past.

Shaking his head, he pushed the thought aside.

Takumi had already considered telling Hu Tao about Zhongli's true identity.

After all, Rex Lapis had lived in the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor for so many years.

There was no harm in Hu Tao knowing the truth.

Keeping it from her indefinitely didn't seem right.

Perhaps, Hu Tao would actually be pleased by this revelation.

After all, she had taken care of Zhongli for so many years.

And their relationship was quite good.

He had watched her grow up.

If one thought about it, calling Hu Tao Liyue's current "princess" wasn't too far off.

After all, Zhongli had always been like a father figure to her.

When Hu Tao came back to her senses, she looked at Takumi again.

"So, you resurrected Guizhong."

"But have you resurrected anyone else?"

"You scoundrel!!"

"Could it be that you've revived many people already?"

"Let me tell you, this is very dangerous, do you understand?"

She still cared deeply about this matter.

Takumi sighed helplessly.

"I really haven't revived anyone else."

"Aside from Qiqi and Guizhong, there's only Raiden Makoto, the first Electro Archon."

"That's it."

"There's no one else."

His ability had only awakened recently, and he had only used it on these three individuals.

And he wouldn't be using it recklessly in the future.

Hearing that he had also revived the first Raiden Shogun, Hu Tao was dumbfounded.

Good grief!

However, since that was an Archon, it didn't fall under her jurisdiction.

Emmm... better not argue too much with Takumi about it.

"Fine!"

"I'll let it slide this time."

"But don't go around reviving people recklessly."

"If I see someone die in the future, I'll make sure to send them off quickly."

"I won't give you the chance to interfere!"

She had already made up her mind to speed up the reincarnation business at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

People who died in the morning would be cremated by noon and reborn by evening.

All taken care of in one day.

They might even be born again by the next morning.

Hmm, maybe this could even attract more business?

Thinking of this, Hu Tao's eyes sparkled mischievously.

She really was a business genius.

Takumi noticed Hu Tao's strange expression and was momentarily speechless.

What was this girl thinking now?

He had a bad feeling about it.

After finishing her rant, Hu Tao suddenly stood up.

"I'm heading out~!"

"I won't chat with you anymore."

"I just thought of a new advertisement."

"I need to start preparing for it."

After saying this, Hu Tao rushed out in excitement.

Takumi was left completely speechless.

Shaking his head, he pushed the thought aside and went back to work.

Who knew what strange thing the people of Liyue would experience next?

He would probably soon start receiving bizarre funeral promotion orders.

Maybe something like "Second Tombstone Half Price" promotions.

The thought amused him.

After finishing his work for the day, Takumi left the General Affairs Department and returned to his manor.

The sun was beginning to set.

Noelle was already busy at home, preparing dinner.

Seeing Takumi return early, Noelle was a bit surprised.

"Master Takumi."

"Welcome home."

Looking at Noelle, Takumi smiled slightly.

"I'm back."

Coming home to see such a cute maid really put him in a good mood.

"Master Takumi, please rest for now."

"Dinner will be ready soon."

"Klee and the others will be back shortly."

After saying this, Noelle continued her preparations.

Takumi nodded.

He sat down on the sofa, took out his phone, and started browsing the internet.

At that moment, he noticed many people discussing various topics online.

Seeing some heated debates and insults, Takumi smirked.

In a few days, once everyone had their ID cards registered, he would enable real-name verification.

Then, let's see who dares to insult others so freely.

They'd be banned instantly.

While browsing, Takumi suddenly received several videos from Paimon.

The videos showed Lumine fighting monsters.

Seeing them, Takumi was puzzled.

Speaking of which, where had they gone recently?

After thinking for a moment, he used his ability to locate Paimon.

"The Chasm?"

Realizing where Lumine and Paimon were, Takumi was momentarily stunned.

They had all gone to The Chasm?

Not just Lumine, but also Bennett, Razor, and Fischl.

And it seemed Yelan had taken them there.

What were they doing?

Thinking about it, Takumi raised an eyebrow.

Was this something Ningguang had arranged?

This made Takumi curious.

After pondering for a while, he decided to contact Paimon.

If necessary, he'd just bribe her with some Mora.

She'd spill everything for the right price.
