Chapter 20:
Hearing the notification sound, Hu Tao wasn't surprised at all.
Because ever since she crossed over to this world, she had awakened this ability: flagging people who were about to die, guiding their souls (exorcising/supernatural release), and receiving rewards in return.
She just hadn't told Tang Yu about it yet.
Time jumped to 11 PM.
They closed up Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and returned home. Lying back-to-back on the bed, they scrolled through videos on their phones.
What Tang Yu kept getting recommended were mostly beautiful girls dancing in revealing outfits. This made his mind wander a little.
If only he could watch Hu Tao do something like that… The thought made him giggle stupidly to himself.
Hu Tao heard the sound and put down her phone. She rolled over, poked her head over, and looked at Tang Yu's screen.
"Huh? You like watching these kinds of videos?" Hu Tao's delicate brows furrowed slightly, a trace of worry appearing on her face.
She noticed that all the girls Tang Yu was watching were gorgeous, tall, and curvy. That was exactly her weak point!
Compared to them, she had no advantage at all.
"Ahem…" Hearing Hu Tao's voice, Tang Yu fake-coughed and frantically swiped through videos like flipping pages in a book.
But the algorithm had already locked onto him—several more sexy dance videos popped up one after another.
Tang Yu was now at a complete loss for words.
"This… I actually don't like them," Tang Yu decided to bluff seriously.
He couldn't let his image in Hu Tao's heart collapse.
Hu Tao looked a little stunned. "Why not?"
"Because… small and cute is adorable too." Tang Yu curled his lips into a naughty grin.
Seeing that mischievous expression, a shy blush instantly spread across Hu Tao's fair face.
She lightly punched Tang Yu's chest with her small fist, lips pursed like she wanted to say something.
Tang Yu saw this and asked with a teasing smile: "What do you want to say?"
"I… I can dance too…" Hu Tao gave a shy smile, her cheeks now completely flushed with embarrassment.
Saying it out loud felt incredibly shameful.
But… in this world, it seemed girls who could dance were very popular!
Tang Yu froze. He never expected Hu Tao to know how to dance!
This was perfect.
"Really?" Tang Yu asked excitedly.
The next moment, his fingers moved quickly across the screen and pulled up a viral dance video—Subject Three by a certain popular dancer.
Hu Tao: "....."
Her brows furrowed slightly. "It looks kind of silly."
"Do people in this world really like this kind of dance?" Hu Tao asked, voice full of confusion and slight disbelief.
"Yes," Tang Yu replied, his naughty grin never fading. He held the phone in front of her and said, "Follow along and dance."
Hu Tao thought for a moment, then stood up and started imitating the Subject Three dance from the video.
She already had a solid dance foundation, so she picked it up extremely fast.
One hour later, Hu Tao's Subject Three was already smooth and polished—on par with online influencers.
Tang Yu, watching from the side, gave her a big thumbs-up.
Was this really the 77th Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor? Her learning ability was terrifying!
"You're amazing!" Tang Yu motioned for her to rest while praising her sincerely.
He meant every word.
Even professional dancers would find it unrealistic to master Subject Three in just one hour. The dance looked simple, but achieving that silky-smooth flow required extremely strong dance fundamentals.
"Do you like it?" Hu Tao asked, her heart fluttering with joy after hearing Tang Yu's praise.
Tang Yu nodded. "I love it. I'd be so happy if I could watch you dance every day."
Right at that moment, a system notification sounded in Tang Yu's mind.
{Ding: Hu Tao affection has reached 100%.}
{Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new character in the Girlfriend Shop. Please head to the system shop to purchase as soon as possible!}
{Ding: Obtained Zhongli Permanent Experience Card. Upon use, you can role-play as the Geo Archon!}
{Ding: Obtained 10 pills of the Immortal World version Golden Kidney Fighter Divine Medicine. After consumption, evolves into Spirit Kidney. Spirit Kidney can brew Spirit Liquid. Consuming Spirit Liquid provides beauty enhancement, strength increase, and more.}
Hearing the notifications, Tang Yu was a little surprised.
Previously, Hu Tao's affection had been stuck at 99%. He hadn't known how to push it further. He never expected that teaching her Subject Three tonight would finally break through to 100%.
Did this mean… as long as he had deep mental/emotional interactions with purchased girlfriends, their affection would max out?
