Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"Hmph... Nathan, you're still such a coward. Every time the Parlor Master has to take the initiative..."

With a coquettish snort, Hu Tao's entire body leaned towards him.

Because it was a surprise attack, Nathan had no time to react.

By the time he came to his senses, the jelly-like Hu Tao had been completely consumed by him.

Quickly... Nathan felt himself wrapped in a soft jelly....

Soft and cool, the pulp was delicious and elastic.

"Mmm..."

It was another test of lung capacity, which ultimately ended in his defeat.

"Hehe, how did Nathan find the Master's taste?"

Stepping back from in front of him, Hu Tao spoke as if seeking praise.

The smile at the corner of her mouth grew wider, seemingly not shy about their previous intimacy at all.

"Hu Tao, you... don't launch these surprise attacks, don't you know there should be propriety between men and women!"

"Hmph hmph, do you think the Master would do this to anyone else?"

With a coquettish snort, Hu Tao once again stepped forward.

However, due to the psychological shadow left from before, when the girl came forward, Nathan instinctively chose to retreat.

But after just a few steps, his whole body was leaning against the large rock behind him.

"Pat!"

Her fair hand reached out and pressed against the boulder near Nathan's neck.

In this current situation, he was completely being kabedon'd by Hu Tao, who was a head shorter than him.

"The Master will only make moves on you, understand Nathan... you're the most special one!"

Hu Tao pursed her still-moist lips, speaking with an aggressive aura.

Hit by such a combination of moves, Nathan was completely in a passive position.

"Al-alright, I believe you, Hu Tao!"

Realizing the inappropriateness of his previous words, Nathan immediately yielded.

If he continued to be stubborn, he feared he would suffer another surprise attack from the girl.

"Hehe, seeing as Nathan surrendered so quickly, the Master will let you off for now!"

Sure enough, because of his submission, Hu Tao finally retreated from her kabedon position.

But while speaking, there was still a lingering sense of regret.

As if she had hoped... Nathan would continue to be stubborn with her, so she could seal his stubborn mouth again.

"Phew... since everything's settled, we can head back now, right?"

Nathan first created a safe distance between himself and the girl, then made the suggestion to her.

"Mm, let's head back then!"

Seeing his stance, Hu Tao first smiled gently.

"But Nathan, am I really that frightening to you?"

As they walked, Nathan heard the questioning from beside him.

"It's not fear... mainly that Hu Tao, you're too unpredictable. My heart can't take too many more scares!"

"Haha, no worries... even if Nathan's heart stops beating, the Master can bring you back with artificial respiration!"

Hu Tao patted her flat chest, revealing a contented smile on her face.

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

"By the way Nathan, didn't you say you don't know much about the Master? Would you like to hear the Master's story on our way back..."

On their return journey, Hu Tao suddenly came close and said.

"That... sure!"

Since they had nothing else to do on the way back, Nathan agreed to the girl's suggestion.

"Where should I start from? Nathan, do you know which generation Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor I am?"

"No... I don't!"

After all, in the game, Hu Tao this energetic character wasn't his main focus, so Nathan had never deeply explored the girl's background story.

"The Master is the 77th generation Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Then Nathan, can you guess who the 75th generation Master was?"

"Was it... your grandfather?"

For such a family business, Nathan easily thought of the answer.

"Correct... Grandfather was the 75th generation Master. When he passed away, he designated the Master to handle his funeral."

As she continued speaking, Hu Tao's emotions became calmer.

"From that time on, the Master, still only thirteen years old, was designated as the 77th generation heir of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor..."

Seeing that Nathan was listening to her story attentively, Hu Tao continued.

"After conducting a funeral that satisfied all the consultants, the Master packed up and slipped out in the night.

The pack only contained dry food, water, and lighting tools... the Master was heading to a mysterious realm rarely known to the world!"

Nathan's curiosity was piqued by Hu Tao's words, and he raised his question.

"Mysterious realm? What place is that?"

"Wuwang Hill... it's the divide between life and death, a secret place managed by generations of our Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Legend has it... people can see their deceased relatives and lingering souls with unfulfilled wishes there."

"So Hu Tao, you went to such a place wanting to see your grandfather one last time?"

Hearing the description of Wuwang Hill, Nathan easily guessed the girl's thoughts.

"Yes, the Master traveled day and night, just to say goodbye to grandfather before he completely departed.

But although Wuwang Hill was filled with countless wandering spirits, the Master didn't see grandfather's figure. After waiting there for two more days, I fainted in an almost completely exhausted state."

"Then what happened next?"

Nathan asked worriedly, as the border realm full of spirits was definitely a dangerous place for the living.

"The Master continued waiting in a hazy consciousness, already forgetting my identity as a living person, almost stepping into that cycle of reincarnation.

But just as I was about to cross that line, I was stopped by a stranger."

"A stranger? Stopped you?"

"Hehe, although I never got to see grandfather in the end, the Master met a very gentle boy because of this.

He was like the Master, also a living being appearing on Wuwang Hill. However, he used his gentle heart to warm the Master's heart that had grown cold from disappointment."

"So... who was that person?"

Hearing Hu Tao's final description, Nathan suddenly felt a suspenseful premonition rise in his heart.

Just as they were about to reach the gates of Liyue Harbor, Hu Tao suddenly stopped.

Her figure drew close to Nathan again, and the girl who was a head shorter than him looked up at him.

Their eyes met, and Nathan's reflection appeared in her fire-red plum blossom eyes.

"Yes, who was that person... why don't you guess, Nathan?"
