Together Till' Death Do Us Part (Reader X Hu Tao)

(Two): Hilichurl attack

10 minutes later, sitting alone in one of the camps you cleared out that morning.

"I wonder if the others will accept me... Ugh... what am I saying, why wouldn't they accept me?"

I slapped myself

"Snap back to reality, dumbass."

"Hm? Hey, guys! There's a kid in here!"

A group of treasure hoarders was trying to find something of value inside the camp, and one of them found my ""secret"" spot

"There aren't any treasures here. What did you think you would find in a freaking hilichurl camp?"

"Well, I'd say that sword seems pretty valua-"

"Storm cage."

A barrier of wind trapped the hoarder, when he tried to get out, the strong gusts of cutting wind slightly wounded him.

"What?! You're the one that makes these around the treasure chests?! Go fuck y-"

"There, there, it's my job to catch you, after all."

"The trapped hoarder's eyes widened, his expression changed into a mixture of fear and confusion."

"Nah, it's impossible, Right? You're Like, 15? How can you be a-"

Who do you think killed the swarm of mitachurls at the entrance?

"Listen, we can talk about this."

"No, you listen. Just wait for the millelithes to take you to Liyue Harbour. The first offense is only 2 weeks if you didn't steal anything from a person."

"Hey?! You there? Did you take care of that kid?"

The rest of the group came to search for their lost comrade.

"No, He didn't. But hey, first offense for armed robbery is only two weeks, so I'd suggest you stay here and be good boys."

"Wh-"

*Snap*

Another bigger storm cage enclosed the remaining hoarders.

"Hey!"

Have fun with the Millelithes. I'd say break a leg, but if you get out I'll also break your arms.

Half an hour later, At Wangshu Inn...

"Hey, what's on your mind?"

"Hm? Oh, hi Xiao, I've brought some almond tofu."

"Nice, but is that everything or...?"

"Do you by any chance know a certain Hu Tao?"

"Ugh... Wangsheng's director..."

"Wow. I didn't expect you to actually know her."

"In the past, Yakshas and Wansheng worked together as allies. Now the relationship has quite weakened but we still know each other. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing... Just curious..."

"She isn't really my type, too lively, but if you like her, go for it."

*Slight blush*
