A lot of Asian after life concepts originated from Hinduism/Buddhism and in japan’s case, shindoism. But since liyue is based on Chinese culture, I assume it’s mostly based on daoism, which also took a lot of inspiration from Buddhism (hutao’s attire also resembles some daoism traditional clothing). In China, we mostly believe that after people die, they will be judged by many lords of hell before they enter the realm of the dead, or go to hell(yeah, we have hell too lol). Much like Egyptian culture, people’s deeds will be judged, if they committed sins or crimes, they go to assigned hell to be tortured forever, or, they go to the realm of the dead called fengdu(酆都). In genshin’s world, at least in each nation, death/ghost may take different forms depends on how they died. This was briefly introduced in the Fontaine story, and some inazuma story.

Hu Tao is a bundle of cute, quirky, and unsettling. This nonchalant attitude she has regarding off-putting topics, but still having the sense to not just spurt it out whoever she wants to because she wants to protect the comfort of the citizens, is really what draws me to her. Oh and if you were talking about that certain word she keeps on saying that you’ve never heard of. “Aiya” That’s a Chinese word that can be used for a lot of different situations. Think of it as like an exclamation like “goddamn”, “dear me”, or “ouch”. In Hu Tao’s case, she just uses when something troubling pops up. And don’t worry, you’ll see more of her soon enough. Regarding the thing about it saying “wet” every time your character touches water. Remember that elemental reactions are a big part of the game. And with this game targeting a teenage audience, they try to make it as accommodating as possible without being too hand-hold-y. Quick thing regarding the afterlife. Someone else already explained it, so I’ll just mention that when it comes to death in Genshin, you either stay dead, become a ghost, or leave a curse. The third one you’ve already seen what happened when Xiao and the 4 other Yakshas were tasked with slaying monsters. Karma builds up and eats away at them. Next will be the “Lantern Rite”! The equivalent of Chinese Lunar New Year. More so because it happens on that day, but it’s based on another celebration, but I won’t bother explaining because there’s a lot of Chinese celebrations.
