Chapter 77
Zhongli ordered a meal and sat in the booth by the window, quietly enjoying the night view as he savored each bite. The city lights shimmered outside, reflecting on the glass, painting a picture of tranquility and warmth.
Just then, Hu Tao and Huo Huo entered the restaurant, each carrying a tray of food. Without hesitation, they took the seats directly across from Zhongli.
"Guest, let me introduce you. This is Huo Huo, the newest member of our Wangsheng Hall," Hu Tao said with a bright smile.
Zhongli nodded slightly, his amber eyes calm and composed. "I heard about this from General Jing Yuan. Welcome, Huo Huo."
Huo Huo returned the greeting with a polite smile. "Hello, Mr. Zhongli. It's a pleasure to meet you."
As they began eating, Hu Tao took a bite of her food and turned to Huo Huo. "If you ever have questions about catching ghosts or exorcising spirits, you can always ask Zhong! He knows a lot about these things."
Huo Huo looked at Zhongli with newfound admiration.
Zhongli nodded. "What the Hall Master says is true. If you ever need guidance, feel free to seek me out."
Huo Huo happily nodded in agreement, feeling grateful for the warm welcome. The past few days had been nothing short of wonderful. Everyone on the train had been kind and easy to get along with, making her feel right at home.
At that moment, a firework burst into the night sky outside, its golden light illuminating the streets. Hu Tao's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Guest, Liyue's Lantern Festival is almost here!" she exclaimed.
