Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 494: Old friend, do you have any money with you?

If Zhongli and Paimeng were here, they would definitely recognize this person; he is the owner of Qibao Hotel!

Although the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed, its wealth remains unimaginable to most people.

To revitalize the sect, resources are essential, and soul bones are the perfect resource.

That's why he spent 300,000 gold soul coins to buy this Pipi Pig.

Without sufficient strength, no matter how much wealth one possesses, it is useless. This is the lesson learned by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School after its demise.

Besides, what's wrong with spending a little more money to befriend a "young talent" like Xiangling?

The hotel owner got Pipi Pig, and Xiangling transformed into a very rich person!

Many nobles don't even have 300,000 gold soul coins in their accumulated wealth!

It's worth mentioning that the hotel owner paid for Xiangling's entry fee...

Inside Tiandou City, Zhongli, standing in front of a snack shop, suddenly frowned, then closed his eyes tightly, as if sensing something.

A moment later, Zhongli suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light and a hint of joy flashing in his amber pupils, and his brows instantly relaxed.

He quickly released a wisp of his aura to point out the direction to his old friend before looking at Gui Zhong sitting opposite him.

"The breakfast here is good, especially the millet porridge..."

He didn't tell Gui Zhong that his old friend had arrived, but instead waited until his old friend arrived before giving Gui Zhong a surprise.

The girl in the overcoat looked at Zhong Li with some suspicion, having seen all of Zhong Li's previous expressions.

She wouldn't believe it if you said there was absolutely nothing going on.

But since Zhongli didn't say anything, she didn't press him for details.

"The taste is good."

She nodded, seemingly agreeing with Zhong Li's words, but her mind was actually on Zhong Li's face, as if trying to find the answer to her question.

A moment later, a girl's voice broke the tranquility of the street.

"Hey~ Guoba, wait for me!"

"Crispy rice, crispy rice!!"

Because the Heavenly Dou Empire was preparing to fight the Star Luo Empire, the nobles in Heavenly Dou City were the first to be affected, which resulted in the fact that there were not many people in Heavenly Dou City.

The two ran through the city with almost no obstruction.

"Lulu!!"

"Crispy rice crust!!!"

Xiangling didn't know why Guoba, as soon as he entered the city, seemed to have eaten Jueyun Jiaojiao and ran quickly in a certain direction.

Guoba is her family, and this is another world. She's afraid of getting lost from Guoba, so she has no choice but to follow behind him.

Tian Dou City is the capital city, and its territory is quite large.

Xiangling and Guoba entered the city from the south gate, while Zhongli and Guizhong were at the west gate, which was quite far from each other.

Hearing the girl's call, Zhongli's eyes lit up. "So you've arrived. You're a true old friend."

Although his physical strength has not yet been restored, his intellect has.

With excitement on his face, Guoba walked straight up to Zhongli before stopping.

"Lulu!!"

"Old friend, long time no see!"

Reaching out, Zhong Li patted Guoba's shoulder, a smile appearing on his face.

"Alas, Your Majesty!!"

"I knew the rice crust was moving so fast..."

When Xiangling saw Zhongli, she calmed her breathing and, without paying any attention to etiquette, sat down on her own.

"Hello, Chef Xiangling."

Hearing Zhongli address her like that, Xiangling scratched her head a little embarrassedly and chuckled, but she didn't refute anything. Although she often made dishes that made people's eyes go black, her cooking skills were still very good!

"Your Majesty, who is this lady?"

Suddenly, Xiangling caught a glimpse of the girl in the long sleeves of her coat out of the corner of her eye. Her words made Guoba subconsciously look at Guizhong as well.

"Lulu???"

Guoba was full of questions, looking somewhat bewildered and dazed, his facial expression quite interesting.

If he remembers correctly, this person should have returned to dust.

Why, why is she here?

"Maxius, it's been a long time."

"Little sister, your name is Xiangling, right? My name is Guizhong!"

Gui Zhong smiled. She could tell that this girl named Xiang Ling was from Liyue, a subject of Zhongli, and also her subject.

"Lulu!!!"

Guoba's eyes widened in disbelief!

It really is her, it really is her!!

"Hargentus!"

Unexpectedly, Hargentus has been resurrected in this other world!

Guoba, whose strength has not yet recovered, is not yet able to speak human language and can only make a "Lulu..." sound.

He was shocked, he was puzzled, but in the end he was happy.

Regardless of how Hargentus was resurrected, isn't this a good thing?

Guoba walked quickly to Gui Zhongzhong, who seemed to understand something, and reached out to rub "Bear's" head.

"well……"

"Sister, are you also Guoba's friend?"

Xiangling knew the true identity of Guoba; he was the legendary stove god Maxius, whose friends were either immortals or demons.

Even her mentor is a good friend of Guoba.

"Yes, I learned my cooking skills from Maxius."

Gui Zhong smiled and said that it was a fortunate thing to see this friend again.

But why has my old friend become so insignificant?

It's already less than a person's height...

The reunion was filled with laughter and joy, and Guoba and Xiangling also had breakfast.

They've been in Douluo Continent for quite a few days now, and all the food they've eaten has been made by Xiangling.

This is the first time I've ever eaten food prepared by someone else.

After a while, everyone prepared to return to their residence, which was Zhongli's residence.

Suddenly, Zhong Li seemed to have thought of something. Although his expression didn't change, his eyes changed slightly.

He and Gui went out for breakfast, but they walked so fast that he forgot to bring any money!

Zhongli glanced at Xiangling, then at Guoba, and even with her composure, she couldn't help but blush.

"Cough cough..."

"Um, old friend..."

Guoba looked at Zhongli with a puzzled expression, somewhat bewildered. In his memory, Zhongli wasn't like this.

When did he start speaking so "shyly"?

"Lulu?"

Gui Zhong and Xiang Ling both looked at Zhong Li with puzzled expressions, but that didn't stop Zhong Li from saying what he was going to say next.

"Old friend, do you have any money with you?"

Upon hearing this, Guoba was slightly taken aback and looked at Zhongli in disbelief. He was just a little "bear," how could he possibly have money?

"Is the Morax experiencing increased wear and tear?"

Guoba couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He shrugged, indicating that he didn't have any money either.

"Your Majesty, you're still the same as always! You never bring any money with you when you go out!"

"And they're bullying Guoba!!"

Xiangling's eye twitched. As a Liyue native and the young owner of the shop that Zhongli frequented, she knew Zhongli all too well!

This Lord Yan has absolutely no concept of money, and he often goes out without any cash!

Poor Hu Tao, at such a young age, she has such a guest who keeps her on the tab.

With a sigh, Xiangling took out a gold soul coin and placed it on the table.

Could it be that Xiangling, having just found the Emperor, is already destined to become a "working stiff"?
