Genshin Impact: I was sent away by Yaksha at the beginning

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw Xiangling suddenly jump up more than a foot high, and Guoba looked behind Xiangling with an angry face.

"Hi, good evening." Hu Tao suddenly appeared behind Xiang Ling, and once again scared Xiang Ling so much that she jumped up. Hu Tao was obviously very satisfied with Xiang Ling's reaction, and kept laughing.

"Just wait for me, I'm going to reward you with a plate of Qingxin fried slime gel!" Xiangling chased after Hutao angrily.

"Qingxin Fried Slime Condensate! Please forgive me, I... vomit..." Walnut seemed to not want to recall the moment when she ate Qingxin Fried Slime Condensate, and she actually bent over and vomited.

"...Is this dish so terrible?" Ling Mengxue couldn't help but ask.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. How can anything I, Xiangling, cook is bad? However, this dish may look a bit ugly, but it tastes really good." Xiangling heard Ling Mengxue's question and stopped chasing Hu Tao, explaining hurriedly.

"Hey, isn't this the guest from last time? Is there anything else we can do for you at the Health Center?" Hu Tao looked at Ling Mengxue in front of him and greeted her with a smile.

"(⊙o⊙)... I don't think I need it for now, thank you." Ling Mengxue didn't know what was going on with Miss Walnut. She had just been tricked into buying two tombstones last time, so was she trying to sell her two coffins this time? You can't just fleece a sheep!

"That's such a pity." There was obvious disappointment on Walnut's face.

"So, what are you doing here so suddenly in the middle of the night?" Xiangling asked unhappily. Every time Hu Tao showed up, she would be startled. In the past, only Guoba would laugh at her, but today, even this cute white-haired brother was here. She was embarrassed to be seen! How abominable!

"Come, come, come." Hu Tao stopped smiling and showed a serious expression: "Have you heard that Cuijue Slope is haunted recently?"

"Cui Jue Slope is haunted? I've never heard of it." Xiangling answered quickly.

"I can tell you're traveling all day and don't know anything about it. I heard about it from my customers when I was promoting the Wangsheng Hall business." Hu Tao still looked serious.

"That day, I was promoting our Wangsheng Hall's various businesses in Liyue Harbor as usual, when I suddenly heard two of my customers whispering about something with looks of fear on their faces. I was curious and went over to ask." Hu Tao continued regardless.

"I asked them, what interesting things were you talking about? Then they told me the whole story in detail. Guess what happened next." Hu Tao did not continue speaking, but narrowed his eyes and secretly observed the expressions of the two people. He continued speaking when he saw that the two obviously wanted to continue listening.

"Upon asking, they actually said that Cuijuepo has been haunted recently! What do you think? Shall we go over and take a look now? It's almost time for the Immortal Summoning Ceremony. If rumors of a haunting get out, it won't be good for Liyue's reputation. Don't you agree?" Hu Tao's expression was extremely serious, completely different from the cynical look she had the last time I saw her.

Seeing that Ling Mengxue and Xiangling didn't react, Hu Tao looked at Xiangling with a serious face: "Liyue is haunted, and the number of visitors to the Fairy Sutra has decreased. It won't be good for your Wanmin Hall. Let's go and take a look together."

Xiangling seemed very hesitant. She was afraid of these ghost stories to begin with, and she was frightened by Hu Tao for no reason. But then she thought that what Hu Tao said made sense. If the ghost stories spread, some tourists would not come to participate in the fairy summoning ceremony because of this, which would be a big loss for their Wanmin Hall.

Xiangling looked at Ling Mengxue hesitantly: "If you go, then I will go too."

Ling Mengxue thought that since she and Yan Xiao had agreed to hand in the beast meat tomorrow, she was not in a hurry. Besides, she was a boy now! She couldn't be so timid. Didn't the boys in this game have to protect the girls and act as a flower protector for the girls? If she behaved properly this time, wouldn't she be able to win the hearts of two beautiful girls at once? Thinking of this, Ling Mengxue nodded heavily: "Go, of course I will go. Although I am not from Liyue, isn't Wanmin Hall very important to you?"

"That's great, let's set off right away." Hu Tao clapped her hands happily and walked in front humming a limerick she had made up.

"Xiangling, are you really not afraid?" It was now completely dark. Cuijuepo, which looked nice during the day, suddenly became a little spooky. It was probably because Hu Tao had been telling ghost stories all the way.

"Hehe, Xiangling, look at you, you're not scared, are you?" Hu Tao never forgets to tease this lovely Xiangling, no matter she jumped up when she patted her from behind, or now she is walking cautiously after listening to her ghost stories, she is so cute. It is because Xiangling is always like this that she likes to tease her.

Guoba waved his little bear paws in protest, and Hutao didn't dare to continue, as if he was afraid that Guoba would really get angry and stand up for Xiangling. If Guoba blew fire, clothes would also catch fire! This is not fun at all!

"Ah, Xiangling naturally won't be afraid, what about you?" Hu Tao looked at Ling Mengxue with a sly smile.

"He has a name, his name is Ling Mengxue." Xiangling said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, so that's your name. Xiaoxue, how about it? Are you scared?" Hu Tao still looked at her with a smirk on his face.

"I... I'm a boy, how could I be scared!" Ling Mengxue said calmly. To be honest, Hu Tao's eloquence is really good. If she didn't live in the game, she would be a ghost story teller in real life. She would definitely be famous! Why would she need to rely on selling coffins and tombstones to support herself?

"Haha, you're not scared anymore. Okay, let's continue on our journey." Hu Tao seemed extremely excited. These two guys were obviously scared after listening to her ghost story, but they were still pretending. It would be fun to scare them to tears.

By now, we had arrived at a viewing point called the Nine Pillars of Jingshi. The scene, which looked beautiful during the day, suddenly became unusually strange with the whistling wind and the unique strange tone of walnuts at night.

Xiangling looked at the scene in front of her and recalled many ghost stories that Hu Tao had told her before, including the one about the lantern ghost. The four pillars in front of her emitted a faint yellow light, which gave her goose bumps all over her body.

"What's wrong, Xiangling, are you scared? If you are scared, come here and hold my hand." Hu Tao was obviously very satisfied with Xiangling's reaction and happily stretched out his hand to Xiangling.

"Who... who is scared!" Xiang Ling was terrified, but she still said it toughly. Unfortunately, her actions betrayed her. She did not follow Hu Tao's idea and hold her hand, but grabbed Ling Mengxue who was confused beside her.

"This way I won't be afraid." Xiangling, who was holding Ling Mengxue, breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, only when she held something in her hand could she feel at ease.

"Where did we leave off last time? Oh, right, we were talking about the haunted Cui Jue Slope, but I don't know whether it's an ordinary ghost or an evil spirit." Hu Tao still looked relaxed. She seemed to enjoy the sight of these two people being scared out of their wits.

"Ah, that thing, there are ghosts or evil spirits or something, it must be a lie. Xiangling, don't be afraid." Ling Mengxue clearly felt Xiangling's trembling, it seems that this little girl is really afraid of these things.

In order to ease the current atmosphere, she continued to ask Walnut: "Did your clients tell us what kind of ghost it is? We can have a plan when we see it later."

"According to rumors, this ghost is only half the height of a man, and appears and disappears at will." Walnut described it vividly. "Wherever this ghost goes, the temperature will drop suddenly, as if it is carrying an ice mist flower with it."

"......" For some reason, when Ling Mengxue heard the phrase "half a man's height", Xiao came to her mind. But she immediately dismissed the idea. Even if Xiao was a little shorter than an average boy, he wouldn't be only half a man's height. This ghost shouldn't be him.

Walnut continued to say, "Whenever this ghost appears, it will make a sound like this, 'Night is coming, night is coming', and then it will jump out with a roar and eat you up completely!"

Hu Tao's vivid performance made Xiang Ling more nervous. Although she was holding Ling Mengxue, her heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Guoba was obviously infected by her nervousness and kept looking around.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the bushes in the distance, and a half-grown black shadow slowly floated towards them.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh" Xiang Ling couldn't bear it any longer, she grabbed Ling Mengxue's hand and was about to run away.

Although Hu Tao was startled by Xiang Ling's actions, she was very reliable at the moment. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Fire Butterfly, rise."

The firelight illuminated a half-grown person. Ling Mengxue would never forget this face.
