"It seems my granddaughter is very satisfied with the new play at the Yun-Han Society today." The old Hall Master Hu looked at little Hu Tao, who was hopping and skipping with boundless joy, and felt very pleased.
"This child…" Old man Zhongli was about to say something, but he was quickly interrupted by the voice ahead.
"Hey hey! Little Hu Tao, did you miss your dear old uncle!?" Cid jumped out and gave the little Hu Tao who had just opened the door a good scare.
Cid looked at little Hu Tao—her appearance hadn't changed much, just grown a bit taller, but she seemed even more energetic.
"Old uncle, you're gonna scare a ghost to death!" Little Hu Tao jumped from the fright, but she reacted quickly.
This old uncle…
Wait, who are you?
Little Hu Tao stared blankly at the young man in black attire before her, exuding the aura of a noble family's son.
"Ehe~ Anyway, little Hu Tao, you're a clever little devil—you can't be scared to death."
But that familiar way of playing with her still let little Hu Tao find traces of the past.
Because of that, little Hu Tao's expression had started out angry, but soon turned playful.
Then she pulled out a Seele military tag from her pocket.
"Old uncle, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your wife, right?"
Cid the old uncle's playful expression instantly stiffened.
Little Hu Tao, who did you learn such terrible lines from!
"Yamero! Please don't do this to my wife!" Old uncle's tone was tragic and heroic.
"What? Old uncle has a wife?" Little Eula, who had just finished tidying her room, walked out and froze in place upon hearing the word "wife."
Little Hu Tao looked at little Eula who was stunned in place, then at the old uncle cooperating beside her.
So she put the Seele military tag back in her pocket, then shoved her other hand into her pocket too.
Patting her little belly like that, "Yes, Cid the old uncle's wife is in here."
Censors! Listen to me! Genshin Adventurer Cid is a wholesome peach story crafted by a third-rate author to meet review standards! This monk only dares to play with little kids even in his own daydreams! I wouldn't touch anything steamy! Don't think I actually did anything!!!
Cid the old uncle turned to stone on the spot.
The old Hall Master Hu looked helplessly at his granddaughter's performance, but seeing Cid's nervous and frightened appearance, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Old man Zhongli watched Cid being handled by little Hu Tao and instantly felt a sense of shared suffering; a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Morax really does love humans.
Hall Master Hu… just smiled without speaking, silently taking out a pen to record his adorable daughter's outrageous statement.
No one would actually take a child's make-believe seriously, right?
Little Eula watched little Hu Tao playing like this and naturally realized something.
Don't forget—Mondstadt is the city of freedom, where even drunks know what "rich lady" means.
"Can I see old uncle's wife?" Little Eula asked this.
No! Little Hu Tao, you can't show her! Old uncle still needs some face!
Little Eula: Does a certain sloppy old uncle who brags about landing a rich lady really have any face? So curious.
Little Hu Tao mischievously handed old uncle's wife to little Eula. Little Eula looked at the girl on the military tag, drawn only with black lines—giving the impression of a quiet, gentle young lady.
Little Eula compared it and realized that if she removed her hair accessory, her hairstyle might look the same.
"So old uncle likes this kind of girl?"
"Since you've already found out, I won't pretend anymore! The wives old uncle likes are too many! It's not just this one!!"
Old uncle gave up completely—broken jar, broken fall.
If no one played along, it would be extremely awkward.
But unfortunately, old uncle had someone to cooperate.
"Oh oh, old uncle is truly a man like the wind—too bad he's just a single dog." Little Hu Tao clapped and delivered a heart-piercing blow.
Little Hu Tao…

When did you learn to stab old uncle's heart like this?
