I heard that those were all Xiangling's original dishes, but... before creating them, Xiangling herself didn't seem to have tasted them, so she often made some funny mistakes.

If Xiangling's father, Master Mao, had been in charge of cooking, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. Although Master Mao's skills weren't as good as Xiangling's, they were definitely not bad either.

"Wanmintang...that's a familiar name. Since you recommended it, let's give it a try. Anyway...it tastes better than Qingxin and Liuli Baihe."

......

After leaving Yujingtai, the two arrived at Wanmintang. Liang Gongyou didn't know why she did such a thing; perhaps it was because she was too bored.

"Please bring me everything on the menu." Inside Wanmintang, Shen He picked up the menu and said to the waiter beside him before even glancing at it twice.

Seeing this, even someone as composed as Ryou Miyako couldn't help but be shocked. Goodness, how much can she eat? If she served all the dishes, it would be enough to fill several tables of people's stomachs.

"If you order so much, can you finish it all?" Ryoumi Yu couldn't help but ask.

"Why do I have to finish it? I just want to taste it. As long as I fill my stomach, there won't be any problem, right?" Shen He spread his hands, and his matter-of-fact tone made Liang Gongyou suspect that she had no common sense at all.

“Wasting food is a shameful thing to do. If you don’t finish all the food you ordered, people might gossip about you,” Ryou Miyako tried to persuade Shin-haku.

"Is that so? In that case, I'll just kill all the gossips, and then there won't be any problems."

The unexpected answer made Ryou's lips twitch involuntarily. He thought he was ruthless enough, but he never expected that there would be someone even more ruthless than him.

To kill someone just for gossiping behind their back? If it were Suzumiya Yu, she would probably just see them as clowns.

"If you do this, you'll be wanted by the authorities if you're discovered. Liyue is quite good at upholding the law, so I advise you not to take the risk."

Suzumiya Yu gave Shin-haku a reminder, and at the same time told her that if she wanted to integrate into human society, she should abandon all her previous habits.

Especially her approach of killing anyone who poses even the slightest threat to her would be absolutely unacceptable in Liyue.

"Law?" Shen He tilted his head, seemingly having no understanding of the word "law".

Suzumiya Yu was speechless.

"Law refers to a set of social rules. You can only survive in human society if you follow these rules. I can't explain the deeper meaning to you, but you just need to know that what you did just now should not happen in human society."

Suzumiya Yu explained the general meaning of the law to Shin-haku, but she didn't know if Shin-haku could understand it.

"I see. I didn't expect that integrating into human society would require following such complicated rules?" Shen He nodded, seemingly understanding Liang Gongyou's words.

"So, take back what you just said. You only need to order a portion of the dishes; you won't be able to finish too much."

Finally, Suzumiya Yu successfully persuaded Shin-haku to retract her idea of ​​ordering one of everything on the menu.

After much deliberation, the two of them finally ordered two dishes and a soup, which was more than enough for them.

It's just a matter of whether Shen He will do something unexpected again...

Chapter 179 Taking Shen He Shopping (Part 1)

Inside the Manmindo, Ryou had finished eating long ago. Since he was a demon, eating human food did not replenish his energy or stamina.

On the other hand, Shen He, perhaps because she had been hungry for too long, or perhaps because the food was too delicious, ate in a way that, while not exactly wolfing down her food, was somewhat inconsistent with her fairy-like appearance.

Ryoumi Suzumiya propped her face up with her hand and quietly watched him. Occasionally, passersby would cast envious glances at him, most of them men.

"Speaking of which, what kind of food did you eat when you were cultivating in the mountains?"

Shen He is not an immortal, so she must eat every day or she will starve to death. Liang Gongyou is very curious about what she ate every day when she was cultivating with the immortal.

“Things like Qingxin, Liuli Baihe, and Liuli Pai,” Shen He replied, her words muffled by food in her mouth, but Liang Gongyou still understood.

They're all herbs... and things like Qingxin and Liulidai only grow in high-altitude areas, making them extremely difficult to harvest.

Moreover, these things are only used for ornamental and medicinal purposes in human society; no one would actually eat them.

"Did you never eat anything from human society before you started cultivating? Or... were you taken in by immortals from birth?"

Ryou's question made Shin-haku's hand holding the chopsticks tremble involuntarily.

As memories flooded back, Shen He's eyes began to shine with an unprecedented light—a light born of emotional turmoil.

Previously, Shen He had always had a blank expression, which was somewhat similar to Liang Gongyou.

The emotional fluctuations in her eyes now indicate that what Ryoumi had just said had touched a chord deep within her.

"I... before I started cultivating, I was just an ordinary human being," Shen He said, her tone subtly changing, sounding somewhat desolate.

“I’ve tried a lot of dishes before, but the one that left the deepest impression on me was the bowl of noodles I ate at home before I started practicing Buddhism. I will never forget that taste.”

Shen He raised her head, her eyes slightly closed, as if she were savoring something, which must have been the bowl of noodles she had mentioned.

"It seems your background isn't simple either," Liang Gongyou said casually. His intuition told him that Shen He's background was extremely tragic, otherwise she wouldn't have embarked on the path of cultivation.

Only when you are alone do you need to train to become stronger in order to protect yourself. Suzumiya Yu knows this very well because he has been through this before.

In unfamiliar land, all alone, the hustle and bustle of the city doesn't belong to you, and the wilderness at night is full of danger. Only by becoming stronger can you survive.

Thinking about this, Suzumiya Yuu realized that she and Shin-haku had quite a few things in common, which surprised even herself.

"My background is not important. What's important is what I should do now. Judging from the current situation, it will probably take me a while to integrate into human society."

That's true, because Shen He's understanding of human society is far too limited. Without guidance, she might cause some trouble and could even be wanted nationwide.

At that point, perhaps only her immortal master could personally intervene to clear up the misunderstanding.

......

After finishing their meal, the two paid the bill and left Wanmintang. It's worth mentioning that Shenhe's pockets were full of Mora. When Liang Gongyou asked her where she got it, she actually said that her immortal master gave it to her.

Immortals never use Mora, but they never lack Mora either, because those who seek immortality in Jueyun Mountain would place various offerings outside the immortals' caves every few days, and sometimes Mora was among them.

Since those Mora were useless anyway, they decided to leave them all for Shen He to use. After all, it's absolutely impossible to integrate into human society without money.

"Where should we go next? Master said the reconstruction of Qunyu Pavilion will take at least two more months, so I'm not in a hurry to send Ningguang the immortal talisman."

On the street, Shen He looked at Liang Gongyou beside her. Unconsciously, she had come to regard the other person as her guide to integrate into human society.

If it weren't for being so bored, Suzumiya Yu probably wouldn't have done something like this.

"How about... I take you for a walk in the streets? That's something human girls really enjoy doing," Ryou suggested. If Shin-haku wanted to integrate into human society, the first thing he needed to learn was how to buy things.

During the meal, Shen He said something that left Liang Gongyou speechless.

She didn't understand why she had to pay after the meal, and what the point of doing so was.

Hearing this, Suzumiya Yu realized that Shin-haku not only lacked knowledge of the law, but also lacked knowledge of money.

If it weren't for her immortal master giving her a lot of Mora before she descended the mountain, Suzumiya Yu wouldn't have dared to imagine what Shin-haku would do.

After finishing her meal, she refused to pay. When the owner confronted Shen He, she chopped off his head. Given her personality, she probably would actually do something like that.

"Going shopping... I don't understand the point of doing that, but since you put it that way, let's go shopping." Shen He nodded in agreement. She would generally agree to any suggestion that Suzumiya Yu suggested, especially things she didn't understand.

Fortunately, Suzumiya Yu is not the kind of despicable person who is hypocritical and wicked; otherwise, it is unimaginable what Shinzuru would have gone through.

When it comes to shopping in Liyue Harbor, the first choice is definitely Scarlet Cloud Slope, where there is a commercial street where almost all the major and minor merchants in Liyue Harbor are located, including the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild.

Secondly, there's Huyan, which also has a shopping street, but the activities there are mostly things like listening to storytelling, cutting stones, and appreciating antiques—things that only older people enjoy.

"What would you two like to order?"

On Scarlet Cloud Slope, the two arrived at a shop called [Starry House]. This is a century-old jewelry store in Liyue Harbor, which is popular with many women, most of whom come with their partners.

Because the jewelry at the Starry Sky Pavilion is very expensive, it's not something you can just buy casually. Of course, for Suzumiya Yu and the others, it's just a piece of cake.

"Jewelry...is this all there is to it, all sparkly and shiny?" Shen He looked at the jewelry on the counter, and unlike most women, her first reaction was one of confusion.

She couldn't understand why anyone would sell these glowing stones; although they were indeed quite pretty, she was still somewhat confused.

Chapter 180 Taking Shen He Shopping (Part 2)

“Just pick any piece of jewelry. I just want you to know what consumer values ​​are,” Liang Gongyou said, a statement that left the owner of Mingxingzhai speechless.

She had been in business for many years, and almost every female customer who came here would look at the jewelry with shining eyes, but Shen He was an exception.

Well, I didn't think she disliked jewelry... it's just that her reaction was a bit unusual, she didn't seem like a normal woman at all.

Indeed, Shen He is not only not a normal woman, she is not even a normal human being. After all, what human being can learn immortal arts from an immortal and even achieve some success?

"Just pick one at random? I'd like to buy all of these jewels." Shen He said, resting his chin on his hand, making the monk extremely embarrassed.

“This guest… if you want to buy all the jewelry, the amount of Mora required might be beyond your means.” Even though he was speechless at Shen He, the master of the temple still said with a smile.

This is professional ethics. As a businessperson, you should always treat your customers like royalty and never speak ill of them.

“I don’t need Mora,” Shen He said, then took out a bag of Mora from his pocket and threw it on the front desk of Mingxingzhai.

"Um... this little bit might not be enough."

"Really? Then I have some more."

Shen He was about to take out the second bag of Mora when he was stopped by Liang Gongyou.

"There's no need to do that. Just buy one. If you buy them all, you won't have anywhere to store them."

"Alright." Ryou Suzumiya made her move, dissuading Shin-haku from buying the entire store.

Ryou couldn't even imagine how many bags of Mora Shinzuru would have taken out if he hadn't intervened. Could he possibly have bought the entire store? That would be far too extravagant.

Suzumiya Yu's savings are not small. In fact, he could access Inazuma's entire national treasury at any time. However, if it's just personal assets, he doesn't think he can buy the entire Myojosai.

"Then let's go with that one." Shen He extended his slender index finger and pointed to a pair of bracelets on the counter.

Looking around, Suzumiya Yu realized that it was actually a pair of couple bracelets, and the price tag was as high as seven figures.

Goodness, no wonder it's a century-old jewelry store in Liyue. The items they sell are so expensive. You know, even a big meal at the Crystal Pavilion or Crescent Moon Pavilion would only cost less than 500,000 Mora.

But now? Just a pair of couple bracelets costs an outrageous more than a million. If it weren't for the fact that she wasn't the one paying for it, Ryou would have wanted to curse.

"You have excellent taste, sir." The shop owner was delighted to see Shen He preparing to buy the pair of couple bracelets. "These are our latest 'Crystal Crescent Moon' bracelets, and only ten pairs are released each month."

"If you buy one of these pairs and give it to your sweetheart, you're sure to win their heart. Many customers have found their other half this way."

That's an exaggerated claim. You can find your other half just by having a pair of bracelets? Suzumiya Yu doesn't believe such rumors.

He said that many customers found their other half because of him, probably because the other person agreed to be with him because he was rich.

"I'll take this one, let me see... 1.11 million Mora..." Shen He looked at the price tag under the bracelet, then silently took out two bags of Mora from his pocket.

Adding to the previous bag, Shen He handed all three bags of Mora to the vegetarian. After counting them, there were indeed more than 1.1 million Mora, and tens of thousands more in extra Mora.

"Please take this, sir." After paying, the monk took off the bracelet and handed it to Shen He, glancing at Liang Gongyou and secretly chuckling.
