Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"Ahaha, Nathan, we really are made for each other!"

Hu Tao's arms wrapped around his waist, holding him tightly.

But with her appearance, the little girl in front suddenly began to tremble.

"Big brother... run... bad person!!!"

The little one dove into Nathan's embrace, too terrified to even lift her head.

"Hehe, see, Nathan? These spirits are afraid of the Parlor Master!"

Pressing her front against him, Hu Tao whispered near his ear.

Having guided too many spirits to the afterlife, her mere presence now emitted an aura that made souls tremble.

The best reference point was Qiqi, the zombie girl from Bubu Pharmacy.

Every time she encountered Hu Tao, the little girl would hide in fear, terrified of being dragged away and cremated.

"Don't be afraid, little Ming. Sister Hu Tao won't do anything to you!"

Caught between embraces from front and back, Nathan could only helplessly try to comfort the frightened little girl.

"Really? She really won't do bad things to little Ming?"

Due to his reassurance, the little girl finally gathered the courage to lift her head.

However, even after mentally preparing herself, she still didn't dare to meet Hu Tao's fire-red plum blossom eyes.

"Don't worry, little one. As long as a soul doesn't harm the world of the living, if they don't wish to pass on, this Parlor Master won't force them!"

Hands on his shoulders, Hu Tao jumped directly onto Nathan's back.

Peering out from behind him, she tried to speak to the spirit in an intimate tone.

"Mmm... then little Ming doesn't want to go. Playing with everyone is fun."

Having received Hu Tao's guarantee, the little girl finally felt safe enough to leave Nathan's embrace.

"Go back now, and remember not to scare people by playing ghost anymore!"

"O-okay, thank you big brother and big sister!"

The little girl showed a relieved smile, waved to them both, and finally dispersed her light, vanishing from the spot.

The night breeze brushed their faces, stirring Hu Tao's hair behind them.

The surroundings fell silent, as if nothing had happened.

"Hu Tao, is this what your regular work is like?"

After a brief silence, Nathan asked the girl on his back.

"Hehe, isn't it simple? Usually it's just guiding these spirits to pass on."

"Then what about those who won't cooperate and harm the living world? What do you do with evil spirits?"

Among those unwilling to pass on, not all were as harmless as the little girl.

Some were bound by obsession and resentment, ultimately transforming into evil spirits that harmed the world.

"When we encounter those, naturally we send them away through physical means!!!"

As they were talking, a group of wandering Hilichurls suddenly noticed the commotion.

Led by a Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl chief, the monsters surrounded Nathan and Hu Tao.

"Sigh... our luck really is terrible."

Nathan looked at the surrounding Hilichurl monsters and sighed deeply.

In Liyue's outskirts, the Millelith regularly exterminated these monsters to protect Liyue's people and merchant caravans.

Being in the Wangshu Inn area, they shouldn't have encountered such a large group of Hilichurls.

The only answer was that they were just very unlucky.

"Nathan, let the Parlor Master handle this!"

Even surrounded by these monsters, Hu Tao maintained a calm tone.

She released her hands and jumped down from Nathan's back.

"Interrupting the Parlor Master's moment with Nathan - you're the ones with terrible luck!"

From somewhere, Hu Tao produced a black polearm.

Instead of a sharp spearhead at its tip, it resembled a burning flame.

Raising the staff high, the Pyro Vision at her waist began to shine.

"Hah!!"

From around Hu Tao, a great swarm of fire-red butterflies suddenly took flight.

The most beautiful things often contain terrifying danger.

When these butterflies touched the Hilichurls, they instantly transformed into intense flames, setting the monsters ablaze.

"Aaah-aaah!"

Amidst the monsters wails, before she had truly begun fighting, they were already burned to ashes by the scarlet flames.

"Wuwawa!"

The massive Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl let out a battle cry. As an elite monster, it naturally wouldn't be defeated as easily as the other small fry.

Even when burned by the butterfly-turned-flames, it continued struggling forward towards them.

"You won't escape either... Blood Blossom!!!"

Watching the massive monster charging towards them, Hu Tao's lips curved slightly upward.

From her flat chest, she reached out and drew forth a blazing spirit.

Hu Tao wielded the burning spirit, and roaring flames instantly enveloped the Mitachurl.

These flames were even more terrifying than before, as if they could burn away everything in the world.

Even an elite's body couldn't withstand these flames incineration.

Amidst agonized howls, the massive monster was burned until not even ashes remained.

"Hehe, see that, Nathan? That's how physical exorcism works!"

Hu Tao dispersed her Staff of Homa and turned around, looking at him expectantly.

That expression seemed to be waiting for Nathan's praise.

"That was... amazing!!!"

Even knowing Hu Tao was a powerful character in the game, seeing her in action in reality finally let him truly experience this quirky girl's strength.

If in the future... Hu Tao got caught up in battles between girls, Nathan was quite worried she might burn everyone to ashes.

With such an unpredictable personality, he couldn't be sure what the girl would do.

Nathan could only hope... that in this life simulation there wouldn't be too much entanglement with the girl.

But looking at Hu Tao's loving gaze, he felt that was probably impossible.

"Hehe, since the Parlor Master took action, shouldn't Nathan give the Parlor Master a little reward?"

A spirited smile appeared as Hu Tao drew closer to Nathan.

"What reward?"

"Why, this kind of reward..."

Before she finished speaking, Hu Tao had already risen on her tiptoes.

Standing tall, she puckered her pink lips.

"Hu Tao... this... isn't appropriate!"

Those crystalline thin lips were already telling Nathan what to do.

But precisely because of that, he felt hesitant.

Even though he hadn't yet developed an intimate connection with Hu Tao, the girl was already requesting such an intimate action.

"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 whole body leaned towards him.

Soon... Nathan felt himself enveloped by something soft like jelly...
