"Huh? Why did Feng Yi come out of sister Lisa's room?"
Amber, on her morning patrol, noticed Feng Yi's figure and curiously approached Lisa's residence.
Just as Amber was about to knock, Lisa suddenly opened the door, wearing a coat.
"Ah! Sister Lisa, I was just passing by, just passing by, I didn't see anything..."
Seeing Lisa in her thin nightgown, Amber's mind raced with unspeakable thoughts.
Amber: So sister Lisa and Feng Yi already did that...
"Oh, it's little Amber, darling. Don't be nervous. Why don't you come in and sit with sister for a while?"
Lisa said with a smile, sensing Amber had misunderstood something but having no intention of correcting her.
"No, no, I still have my morning patrol mission to complete. Goodbye, sister Lisa!"
Amber, like a startled little rabbit facing a cunning fox like Lisa, didn't want to stay a moment longer. She waved goodbye to Lisa and fled in a panic.
"Tsk tsk, Feng Yi is like this, and now Amber is too? It makes me seem like a terrible demon..."
Lisa muttered to herself before closing the door and going to change.
Looking at the spacious room, empty except for herself,
After experiencing liveliness, Lisa unexpectedly felt a trace of loneliness when she was alone again.
It was like a person accustomed to darkness finding it hard to bear the darkness after seeing the light.
Lisa looked at the alchemy notes Feng Yi left on the tea table, and an enchanting smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
'A life with two people, seems like a good experiment!'
A bold idea suddenly sprang into Lisa's mind.
..................
Meanwhile, Feng Yi, after escaping Lisa's residence, stopped by the Adventurers' Guild for breakfast.
Afterward, he spotted a familiar figure not far away, seemingly Hu Tao promoting her business.
"Come, esteemed customer, take a look, take a look! Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is having a grand opening sale! All new and returning customers get a 20% discount on the first tombstone, and a 50% discount on the second! An opportunity not to be missed, and once missed, it won't come again..."
Hu Tao was holding flyers, enthusiastically promoting the funeral parlor's business to passersby. However, no one paid her any mind, which instead attracted the attention of a patrolling Knights of Favonius.
"Following multiple complaints, your actions have caused distress to the residents of Mondstadt and are suspected of disrupting Mondstadt's order and stability. Please come with us!"
The patrolling Knight of Favonius, brandishing his polearm, was about to arrest Hu Tao.
"This knight, you misunderstand. I'm merely informing the people of Mondstadt how to correctly view life and death. In fact, death isn't that terrifying. Hey, hey, don't do anything rash, or I'll have to get serious!"
Hu Tao was trying to recruit this Knight of Favonius as a client, but the knight's furious demeanor made her exclaim that things were not good. She summoned a small specter from her ring, ready to retaliate.
"Stop!"
Feng Yi, seeing the situation escalating, quickly stepped forward to intervene.
"Feng Yi, you've come at the perfect time! This guy is bullying the weak, hurry up and teach him a lesson!"
Seeing Feng Yi approach, Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes lit up. She ran a few steps to Feng Yi's side, grabbed his arm, and asked him to stand up for her.
"Honorary Knight, please let me explain. The situation is as follows..."
Seeing the Honorary Knight arrive, and realizing this little girl was likely his friend, the Knight of Favonius, worried about being misunderstood, quickly began to explain.
"No need to explain. I saw what happened when I arrived. Leave her to me, and you can continue your work."
Feng Yi knew Hu Tao's temperament all too well. He waved his hand, telling the Knight of Favonius to continue his patrol, and that Hu Tao was his responsibility.
"Then I leave it to the Honorary Knight!"
Upon seeing this, the Knight of Favonius stood at attention, saluted Feng Yi with his spear, and then turned to leave.
"Hee hee~"
Hu Tao hid behind Feng Yi, making faces at the departing Knight of Favonius and sticking out her tongue mischievously.
She knew Feng Yi would definitely protect her!
"You, don't bring that Liyue style over here, it won't work here!"
Feng Yi looked at the mischievous Hu Tao, pinching her cheek to remind her. If she caused trouble again and he couldn't rescue her in time, he'd have to bail her out of the Knights of Favonius's dungeon.
"No, it wouldn't work like that in Liyue either. The nature of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is special, and even when promoting business, this method shouldn't be used!"
Feng Yi felt that if Zhongli weren't secretly looking out for her, Hu Tao's promotional methods might have already gotten her arrested by the Millelith for disturbing public order.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch~"
Hu Tao rubbed her reddened cheek, glaring at him indignantly.
"If I don't do business, I won't have money. If I don't have money, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will go bankrupt. Feng Yi, what am I supposed to do?"
Hu Tao retorted earnestly.
"Sigh~ I'm not saying you shouldn't do business, it's just... I want you to find a more suitable method."
Feng Yi sighed and said helplessly.
"Wangsheng Funeral Parlor has always been like this, only dealing with the business of the deceased. I haven't thought of other ways, but they all revolve around this..."
As Hu Tao spoke, she sadly lowered her head.
What bad intentions could she have? She just wanted to make a lot of money and then take care of Feng Yi.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please don't cry, okay? I'll think of a way with you."
Feng Yi crouched in front of Hu Tao, wiping away the tears that were about to fall from her eyes, and pulled the little Hu Tao into his arms.
"Mmm~"
Hu Tao hugged Feng Yi's neck. She wasn't angry at Feng Yi, but rather felt wronged that others didn't understand her good intentions.
Her coffins were already being discounted so much...
Feng Yi hugged Hu Tao's slender waist, pinching her bouncy little bottom, and suddenly thought of a highly feasible method.
"Hu Tao, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's coffins are hard to sell, but we can sell services! Insurance is a good option!"
In Mondstadt, a nation where adventurers thrive, providing insurance services for post-death care would be a good choice.
"Hmmph~ Insurance? What's that?"
Hu Tao, her face flushed with embarrassment, asked curiously.
"Insurance is a method of pooling dispersed social funds to compensate for losses caused by natural disasters, accidents, personal injuries, etc. Simply put, it's about letting others pay us money. If they accidentally die, Wangsheng Funeral Parlor will hold a dignified funeral for them or pay their family a generous insurance sum, much more than they paid. I think those adventurers who value adventure, considering their families might not be cared for after their death, will gladly accept it!"
