chapter forty one: “If I'll be able to reincarnate again, let's get married, okay?”
(n/a: quick summary for this chapter. MC and Zhongli/Morax fixing their misunderstanding, thanks to Guizhong. Then Traveller and Qixing fight Osial.)

“WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?”
THE THORN ARCHON questioned as she was being dragged by a brown-haired girl. She didn't answer and quickly went a sharp right turn, almost making them hit a billboard. (Name) then noticed where the girl brought her—Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, the same place where her former husband works for...
"Um... Did Mr. Zhongli send you to get me?" She questioned as the unnamed girl (at the moment) was trying to open the door.
"Oh, you know Mr. Zhongli? That's great, that's great!" The woman chortled and took (Name)'s wrist. "Did he tell you about me? What did he say about me?"
The (h/c)-haired woman chuckled nervously, "He doesn't tell me information about his colleagues. Forgive me, but I don't know you..." She apologized. The girl pouted at her, alerting her senses, "Ah! Sorry if I offended you! I didn't mean to!"
"Nah, it's alright! Anywho, I'm the 77th Director of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor—you can call me Hu Tao. Hu as in ‘Who put me in this coffin?’ and Tao as in ‘I can't geT OUt!’" She introduced herself. Then she noticed a giggle from (Name), "Oh! That's... That's the first time someone laughed at that joke," she murmured.
Paying no mind to the other's calm protests, she pulled her inside the funeral parlor. It's a mix of eerie and strange, coffins and funeral flowers seen in every corner with only a bunch of candles as a light source. No one is inside or that's what (Name) thinks. In the corner of a room sat the woman, the ghost of Guizhong...
"Guizhong, I brought her!" Hu Tao exclaimed, running towards the ghost. (Name) felt her throat lump from the name, "Wait a sec! Hello, Ms. (Name) Draconia, can you see ghosts?" She questioned, waving her hand in front of the said woman's face.
"Huh? I mean, I don't see ghosts... Wait, did she send you to get me?" (Name) was confused, trying to search for the presence of the said late Archon. The hate aside, she doesn't like to hear the goddess was dead and she felt bad because of it, "... Why did she die?"
Hu Tao hummed and took a parchment from a cabinet, "Her cause of death is a curse. Your grandmother, the Flame Archon, cursed her!" She replied, earning a gasp from the living goddess. "I know it's tragic. It's sad she didn't manage to tell you about something before she died and now her soul couldn't go to the afterlife realm because of her unfinished duties when she was still alive."
