Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 141 Are we going on a honeymoon? Anyway, if I'm with you, we can go anywhere
Singed did not thank him again and again, because the doctor was not a pretentious person. He just remembered Li Ke's words deeply, and according to Li Ke's words, he put Orianna's body back into the cabinet. After fastening the safety lock, Singed filled the cabinet with medicine again and preserved Orianna's body well.

"It will only take three months at most, Doctor. We just need to wait a little longer."

Li Ke left after saying this, and Singed stayed alone in the room, sitting quietly beside the bed and looking at Orianna's body.

The voice he just heard was not his illusion, it was indeed Orianna's voice, and she called him.

Although I don’t know where she is now, Li Ke smiled when he talked about that place, which means that the place should not be bad.

At least, Singed thought it wouldn't be worse than being in this closed closet.

Three months is not a long time. For Singed, he has been waiting for more than ten years, so waiting another three months is not a problem. Another thing is that Singed suddenly feels that he seems to have some other ties besides Orianna.

Orianna wasn't the only thing in his life now. He had other things to do, so time passed quickly.

"Can potions help humans?"

Singed looked down at his hands with his eyes wide open and wrinkles on his forehead. He had no eyebrows, but from the wrinkles on his forehead, it could be seen that he seemed to be making a gesture similar to raising his eyebrows.

"Well, let's give it a try."

He whispered, a smile forced upon his face beneath the bandages.

Then, he touched the corner of his mouth through the bandage, as if... he could make a potion to repair his face first?
After all, it's not good to let Orianna see me like this.

And didn't Hilco ask him to make such a potion a long time ago? But Singed was not in the mood at that time, so he ignored Hilco.

But now he seemed to understand what Hilco meant.

As a father, I really want my daughter to see the better side of me.

After leaving Singed, Li Ke did not go to the weapons test site again. He simply went home directly, wanting to see what Jinx was doing today. Recently, Jinx seemed to be busier than him. She went out early in the morning and returned home in the evening.

Li Ke told Jinx in advance that he was going to take her to Ionia so that she could prepare early.

After all, on this trip, Li Ke hoped to visit more places, but other places are not like the Twin Cities, where you can find everything you want. The two city-states of Zaun and Piltover combined really have things from all over the world.

Li Ke is not making this up. Take Icathia, which is polluted by the void, for example. There are many ancient artifacts left in that place, both in Zaun and Piltover.

Do you understand the value of the Rune Continent Trade Pearl City-State?

From Freljord in the north to Demacia in the west, from Icathia in the south to Ionia in the east, there is nothing that cannot be obtained in two cities. If the money is right, then we can get you anything.

Therefore, if you want to travel, you have to prepare a lot of things in advance to avoid inconvenience in life after going out. For example, some daily necessities, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. may not be available in other places.

Li Ke even heard from Ekko that the Freljordians still use charcoal and salt to clean their teeth. Even in deeper places, because they cannot trade with the outside world, the locals have no habit of cleaning their teeth, or even taking a bath.
Well, that means that Ashe, who looks fair and pretty in the game, might actually be a smelly woman?

Li Ke thought strangely, and then he denied the idea with a funny look.

Chouchou's situation should not happen. After all, Ashe has ice blood and is a woman with magical physique. Her situation is very special.

The Freljord, especially the Freljordians who can survive in the far north, all have somewhat special physiques. This group of people have nothing to do with normal humans. Their physical fitness is even more abnormal than that of the Demacians.

This is probably why Darius led a group of people to fight the Winter's Claw, but they didn't even see the leader Sejuani, and even Darius was defeated.
Another thing is, given the environment in the Freljord, it seems really difficult to make yourself dirty and smelly?

After all, it's a place where popsicles can appear even if you pee without paying attention
When he returned home, Li Ke saw Isa, who happened to be walking home from another street and bumped into Li Ke at the door of his house.

Isa had just come back from Victor. When she saw Li Ke, she ran over excitedly, opened her arms and hugged Li Ke's waist, looking up at Li Ke.

Li Ke smiled and reached out to touch Isa's head. In the past, when the little girl hugged him, she would hug Li Ke's thighs, but now she can hug him around his waist.

Little Isa has grown a lot taller in the past two years, and her childish little round face has also begun to change. She has shed her childishness and started to look like a beauty. And when she opens her mouth, she is no longer missing two front teeth.

She has passed the tooth replacement period.

The once messy and dry hair also became soft and fluffy. Isa's hair is naturally curly, and it would be impossible for it to be smooth and straight unless it is permed every day. She has transformed from a messy puppy into a cute puppy.

Especially the pair of eyes are particularly big and extremely lively, and they look clever and cute in a quirky way.

"Isa, where is your sister?" Li Ke bent down, picked up Isa, and then kissed her cheek.

Sometimes, Li Ke even felt that he was raising a daughter instead of a sister.

No. If Jinx is included, he used to have two daughters?
"?" Isa shook her head and stretched out her little hand to gesture to Li Ke, meaning that she didn't know where Jinx had gone.

In the morning, she was escorted to Victor by Wei, who came to eat early in the morning, to learn knowledge. She just left Victor accompanied by other law enforcement officers and returned home. During this period, she had no chance to see her sister.

"That's strange," Li Ke muttered.

Today, except for the morning, Li Ke didn't see Jinx at any other time.

After breakfast in the morning, Li Ke went to the Zaun Parliament Building. After gathering with Hilco, Vandel and others, he went to Piltover to see the results of weapons experiments in the two cities with the Piltover parliamentarians. At this time, Jinx had disappeared.

Damn it, didn’t you agree that you would pester me every day?

Why did she start running around after I returned to Zaan for a while?

This woman! She just doesn't keep her word!

When he had just returned to Zaan, she had been hanging on him like a pendant all day long. She would follow Li Ke wherever he went.

There were two days when Li Ke was in a meeting, and Jinx asked Li Ke to carry her on his back, which made Aunt Marna laugh. Wei even complained and asked Li Ke where he bought the humanoid backpack. Why had she never seen it for sale in Zaun?

Jinx was so angry that she scolded Vi for being sour grapes, and then the two sisters started to quarrel in the meeting.

One said that he is not that clingy, and the other said that even if you want to be clingy, you have no chance because you haven’t got the girl yet!

The quarrel between the sisters also brought the meeting to an abrupt end.
Li Ka held Jinx, who was threatening to attack, and Fandrel held the red-faced Violet.
After entering the house and putting Isa down, Li Ke first took a look in the room. The small room was warm and there was a faint fragrance. On the cabinet beside the bed was a photo of Li Ke and Jinx, and next to it was a photo frame of Li Ke, Jinx and Isa.

The quilt on the bed was piled up in a mess, it was Jinx's masterpiece.

Li Ke often gets up earlier than Jinx. She will stay in bed until Li Ke finishes cooking, so she is the one who folds the quilt. But Jinx basically just crumples the quilt and pushes it against the wall. This is her way of folding the quilt.

There was no one in the room. Jinx was really not at home and had not come back yet.

"Isa, what do you want to eat tonight?" Seeing that Jinx had not come back yet, Li Ke went to Isa's room again and asked her outside the door.

Isa didn't close the door. She was sitting on the floor in the room packing her schoolbag and taking out the homework assigned to her by Victor. She planned to do her homework first, but after hearing Li Ke's voice, the little girl immediately put down what she was doing, ran to Li Ke barefoot, and then started gesturing with her hands.

"If you want to eat mutton, that's fine. Let's make some mutton soup in the evening and get some bread to dip in the soup." Li Ke nodded.

Isa's eyes lit up, she nodded vigorously, and drooled a little.

Then, she stopped doing her homework and went to the kitchen to help Li Ke. The little girl was very diligent. Whatever Li Ke asked her to do, she would run very fast in her slippers.

Li Ke cut the bone-in mutton into large chunks and threw them into the pot while cooking dinner.

In the evening, when the soup had just been cooked, Li Ke was about to take a bowl to serve the soup. His ears moved, and he lowered his head and chuckled.

It's Jinx who's back.

Xiao Jin's voice arrived before he did.

Humming a strange song, Jinx returned home with her long legs, walking without caring about her relatives.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Li Ke, what delicious food did you make?" Jinx smelled the aroma of meat and rushed into the kitchen immediately.

Li Ke turned around and looked at Jinx, his eyes lit up, and he saw that she was dressed very coolly today.

She wore a black belly-baring T-shirt and a blue denim jacket on the upper body, but a pair of very short black hot pants on the lower body. Her pair of long white legs was very eye-catching. Paired with black boots and a short ponytail, she looked so cool.

Jinx's body proportions are really good, especially her legs, which are white and straight. Recently, she has been raised by Li Ke and has gained a lot of weight. She is completely different from the mantis she was when Li Ke first came back. The hot pants squeeze her thighs, making them look fleshy, but her calves are well-proportioned and smooth, and are matched with black boots.
Li Kede said that Caitlin's legs were indeed long enough, but it really didn't work!
Too tall, the legs are not in proportion, not like Jinx's~
"Where did you go again?" Li Ke looked at Jinx and asked.

"The girls from Piltover invited me to see the horses, so I went up to play for a bit." Jinx sat down at the dining table and clapped her hands on it, signaling Li Ke to serve the food quickly. She had been playing all day and was extremely hungry!

"Karina?"

"When did you become so close to them?" Li Ke said with a smile.

"They invited me. They were so enthusiastic that I couldn't refuse. Humph, I don't have such a good relationship with them." Jinx said.

As she spoke, she excitedly said, "But Li Ke, can I buy a horse to raise?"

"Why do you want to raise a horse?"

As the lord of Zaun, if Li Ke wants a horse, the nobles of Piltover will take the initiative to send him a good horse, but... is this necessary?
Doesn't he run faster than a horse?

Another thing is that my house is so small that there is no place to keep it even if I buy it.

"Karina and the others all know how to ride horses. I tried, but the horse didn't listen to me at all. I even pulled out a gun to threaten it, but it still wouldn't let me ride. That horse is so inhumane!" Jinx said a little depressed.

Since the dinner in the two cities, Jinx was often invited by Karina to go to Piltover to play, and sometimes to her manor for tea parties. Jinx liked eating very much, but she didn't like sitting in the garden eating and drinking tea for an afternoon.

She hates boredom the most!

Seeing that Jinx didn't like such activities, Karina changed the activities and took Jinx to play shooting, horse riding, watch musicals, etc.

In short, just as Li Ke thought, Jinx does have friends now.

"As for buying a horse, we'll have to wait until we come back." Li Ke put the bowl full of mutton in front of Jinx and said after thinking for a while.

When Zaun opens up a new area and puts the land at the back into official use, we can then consider giving Jinx the entire pony farm there.

If she likes it, then let her do it. Li Ke has money anyway.

The reason why he still lives here is not because Li Ke is poor. Zaun is no longer poor now. Compared with Piltover, Zaun is still very poor.

But compared to other city-states, Zaun is now very wealthy.

In Zaun today, as long as you are willing to work, everyone can have enough food to eat, and with the opening of various factories in Zaun, there is no shortage of jobs at all.

Whether it is Li Ke, Hilco or Vandel, they are all people who don't know how to enjoy life. To put it bluntly, they are all idealists who have never thought about accumulating wealth in their own hands. Therefore, as long as the people of Zaun are willing to work hard, their lives will get better day by day. Let's put it this way, their salaries are enough for them to have spare money every day for leisure and entertainment.

In Runeterra, the only places that can do this are Piltover and Zaun.

Even Demacia, which is known for its wealth, cannot do this. Of course, this is because the population of Demacia is many times that of Zaun.
The reason why they still live here is because Li Ke has gotten used to it. This small home carries the memories of Li Ke, Jinx and Isa. Although it is small, it is warm.

Li Ke is a nostalgic person. Changing the environment may be a good thing, but if he can stay still, Li Ke still hopes to stay still.

Sometimes, he is indeed a very lazy person.

"Come back?" Jinx caught the important information, biting the meat and looking at Li Ke, swallowing the meat whole, and said loudly: "What do you mean, Li Ke, are we going out to play? You want to take me out to play?"

"Is this a honeymoon?" she exclaimed excitedly.

Li Ke was confused and looked at Jinx: "Honeymoon? Wait, where did you learn this word?"

"Karina told me. She said that after getting married, the nobles of Piltover would go out for half a month or a month. They said that going out was to cultivate the relationship between the couple and lay a good foundation for their future life together."

"Li Ke, are you going to take me out for a honeymoon?"

Jinx's excited little face was full of smiles.

"Jinx, we haven't gotten married yet." Li Ke was speechless.

"Then let's get married tomorrow!" she said directly.

"???"

"Jinx, getting married is not something that can be taken lightly. We need to invite many people to witness it."

"What's the logic? I'm marrying you, why do I need other people's witnesses?" Jinx didn't understand.

She bit her chopsticks, completely confused. She really didn't understand, because before meeting Li Ke, Jinx had never thought about getting married or falling in love with someone.

She was confused at that time. After Wei left, she didn't know what she was doing at all. She just did whatever Xierko said.

But now it’s different. After meeting Li Ke and being with Li Ke, she has her own ideas and the life she wants.

For example, recently I went to Piltover to play with Kalina and the others. Although I expressed reluctance verbally, as if it was because Kalina was too enthusiastic and I had no choice but to go, what was the actual situation?
The actual situation was that as soon as someone from Karina came to call her, she would run to the upper city, and then chat with Karina and a group of aristocratic girls, and learn knowledge that she had never understood before.

The so-called love and lovers are not a relationship of demand, but a relationship of mutual support and giving each other spiritual strength.

Because of Li Ke, Jinx began to love life and was full of hope for tomorrow. Every morning after waking up, she would stretch and then look forward to what would happen in the day with full energy.

Because of Jinx, the "outsider" Li Ke has a home in Runeterra. He is no longer just a passing visitor, but has truly integrated into this world.

"If Vander and Hilco knew that I hastily married you without telling them, they would fight me to the death," Li Ke complained.

After hearing this, Jinx picked up her chopsticks and waved them, saying loudly, "It's okay, Li Ke. I will stop them when the time comes. They will listen to me."

Isa, who was standing by, looked at her sister, then at her brother, her eyes brightened.

If her brother and sister really get married, then she will be the flower girl, right?
Although she seems a little old, Isa must be the flower girl!
"Okay, be honest. We'll talk about marriage later. We'll go out to play with a mission then." Seeing that Jinx was so excited, Li Ke reached out and touched her forehead.

He continued, "Dr. Singed will go with us then."

“Okay.” Hearing that Singed was also going, Jinx showed a dignified expression, and then said, “Are we not taking Isa with us?”

Isa on the side quickly looked at Li Ke and straightened her chest.

Li Ke stretched out his hand and rubbed Isa's head with amusement, then looked at Isa and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. You have to stay in Zaun and study hard with your teacher. Isa, you have to go to school after the middle of the year. Have you forgotten?"

When Isa heard this, her lips drooped as if she was about to hang a bottle of vinegar.

But Isa didn't make a fuss. After all, she had decided a long time ago that she wanted to study.

The two cities cooperated to open a school, which will accept children from infancy to adolescence, and finally, they will be admitted to Piltover University.

"Then we won't bring Isa with us. But Lik, will Singed always follow us?" Jinx asked.

"No, the doctor will be on his way back to Zaun after he finishes his work, and then it will be just the two of us outside."

Jinx nodded and said happily, "That would be great."

After she finished speaking, she ate her meal happily. Going out with Li Ke had greatly increased her appetite.

Jinx is also looking forward to what the outside world will be like.

She has never left Shuangcheng in her life and has been trapped in this small city-state. Of course she wants to go out!

See if there are so many strange creatures in this world, and whether the pictures in the books you have read are real!
"Jinx, don't you ask where we are going then?" Li Ke looked at Jinx and asked.

"It doesn't matter," she said.

Raising her little face and smiling, Jinx said in a sunny tone:

"With you, I can go anywhere."
