Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

But...she didn't want to go back to the cold and dilapidated home where her father had left her.

But...

The memory finally stayed on the scene where the young boy clumsily brought out the food and called out to the little girl who was hiding behind the door, secretly watching him with longing in her eyes, to come out and eat.

Although there was no seasoning and no flavor, that meal was the most delicious meal Xiao Shenhe had ever eaten.

The smell of cooking smoke and food seemed to have crossed over distant memories and burst into Shen He's senses again.

"..."

"Shen He? Xiao He?" Rody's voice awakened Shen He, whose memories suddenly burst out.

She raised her head and looked at the young man who was looking at her with concern. He looked younger than her.

"What's wrong?" Roddy asked with concern, "If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it and take your time."

"It's okay." Shen He shook her head, and her eyes lit up again, no longer so empty and cold.

"I want a home."

Shen He pursed his lips and said, "So, I'm going to hunt wild boars in exchange for a home?"

"..." Rody held his forehead with his hand, "Do you really have to be stuck on this wild boar thing?"

But I heard Shen He say silently, "I... am a little hungry."

"Huh?" Rody raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

"I want to eat the food my brother cooks." Shen He continued, "Is that okay?"

Rody was stunned for a moment, and looked at Shen He, whose eyes showed a bit more pleading.

He smiled, a bright smile, and reached out his hand to gently stroke her head like he did when Shen He was a child.

"Of course, it's just cooking. What does Xiaohe want to eat? Let's go out and earn some money. Brother will cook for you."

"As long as it's done by my brother, it's fine."

Shen He hesitated for a moment and then said, "If there is meat, it would be even better."

"no problem."

Just as Luo Di was pulling Shen He and planning to find a store to buy some vegetables to cook.

In the General Affairs Department not far away.

In charge of military affairs, in the Qianyan Army Office.

A girl wearing a light purple short skirt and black stockings on her legs was talking to several Qianyan soldiers who were standing solemnly.

"You said that a stranger used special healing medicine to treat the wounded? And there was a white-haired woman with divine eyes following him?"

"That's right, Miss Keqing..."

Chapter 504: Encounter with Zhongli!

"That... Xiaohe."

"Ok?"

"Do you remember the way back?"

Standing on the busy street.

Rody was carrying bags and staring blankly at the eight intersections in front of him.

Depend on!

Who designed this inhumane intersection?

Roddy turned his head and looked at the white-haired girl beside him for help.

Sorry, I have lost my direction again.

The two of them left the small courtyard that Shopkeeper Lin had lent them to stay in temporarily, and followed the crowd to the commercial street.

Roddy found a pawn shop and sold the bag of gems.

Originally he wanted to sell gold. Old Dunrodi made dozens of magic stones in one go, the kind that could turn stones into gold and increase lifespan.

Although it can increase lifespan, it cannot restore youth and has some flaws, but it is not for Roddy's own use.

Just think about it, it can turn stone into gold and increase human life span, it is simply a perfect prop to start.

Unless it is a world where precious metals like gold are not used for transactions, or a world where magic does not exist at all.

Magic can naturally be used in the world of Teyvat.

But they don't use gold.

In other words, they use a special kind of gold - 'Mora', gold with the mark of the rock god, and only this kind of gold can be traded.

The gold that Rody got did not have the mark of the Rock God, so it could not be used as money.

Now, he also gave up his plan to use gold to impersonate Mora.

This happened in Liyue Harbor, under the nose of the old Geo King Emperor, and they were privately forging counterfeit coins. Could it be that they were trying to rebel?

Do you really think that the Thousand Rock Army is just there to do nothing? Roddy doesn't want to fail in Liyue. At least he wants to stay here for a while.

So I had to settle for the next best thing and sell the bag of gems. Fortunately, the pile of gems was sold at a good price.

Well, about 200,000 Mora.

Roddy was also deeply aware of this.

Paimon's monthly food expenses cost 300,000 Mora, which is a sky-high price...

...

"Go this way."

Roddy was sighing in his heart at Paimon's extravagance and the arrogance of the future protagonist.

Shen He calmly stretched out his hand and pointed to a road.

"Are you sure?" Rody was delighted. He threw away all the thoughts in his mind and walked over with his big and small bags.

But then I heard Shen He say.

"I'm not sure. If it doesn't work, I'll just fly up to the sky and take a look."

Roddy: Oh.

"Anyway, let's go and take a look first, just like taking a walk." Rody said helplessly and stuffed the purchased items in his hand into the storage room of the Black Palace.

Shen He followed him without saying a word.

The two walked and stopped along the way, and Roddy was dazzled by the various ancient stalls on the street.

The style of Liyue is exactly the same as that of ancient Dongda, but because of its developed business and the presence of the Geo Emperor, the people live a prosperous life and have more time to pass on their skills and develop their interests.

Various handicrafts are rare to see.

There were also performers performing acrobatics, people drinking tea and chatting, and people telling stories. It was really lively.

Just after the two of them walked past a stall selling oil-paper umbrellas.

"Xiao He, just stand here and don't move. I'll be back soon."

As Luo Di said this, he turned around and ran back under Shen He's puzzled gaze. After a while, he came back with a beautiful oil-paper umbrella.

"Next time it rains, take it out and use it to hit the target. Don't get wet."

Rody handed over the umbrella.

He said that for a reason, because Shen He would really walk without an umbrella when it rained and just get soaked.

After the rain stops, she will use the ice element to freeze the wet clothes directly, and they will fall apart with a shake, just like using snow to bathe cats in Northeast China.

It's pretty cute when you think about it, but a little chilling.

"For me?"

There was some surprise in Shen He's eyes. She had just paused in front of the stall selling oil-paper umbrellas, but had no intention of buying any. However, she liked the style of the umbrellas very much.

For her, the more she relies on these worldly things, the harder it will be for her to return to her previous austere practice.

But when she heard that Roddy was giving it to her, Shen He took the umbrella without hesitation and stroked the umbrella with her white jade fingers.

Although it was just an umbrella, it was the gift she liked.

"How is it? Is it the one you like?" Luo Di asked with a smile. From the way Shen He held the oil-paper umbrella tenderly and kept turning it over, it could be seen that she was in a good mood.

"Yes, thank you." Shen He hummed lightly, raised his head and looked at Luo Di seriously, "I like it very much, I will always keep it with me."

"As long as you like it, but remember to use it. If it breaks, you can buy another one or repair it. Don't be reluctant to part with it." Rody said nonchalantly and smiled at Shen He who was a little embarrassed.

"If you come across anything you like, remember to tell me, whether it's a small decorative mechanism or something else. Once I have finalized the deal with Shopkeeper Lin, we can buy a house in Liyue City and decorate the rooms there."

"it is good."

Shen He nodded in agreement, raised his hand to smooth some of the hair covering his cheeks, and hesitated, "But if I buy too much of these, won't I be short of Mora when I buy a house next time?"

"It's okay, it's just small money." said Rody.

Don't underestimate his ability to make money.

Any good thing on him could be sold at a sky-high price.

The two of them walked and turned like this, and soon Shen He's divine eyes were almost filled. He didn't bother to be polite with Rody, and whenever he saw something he liked, he would stand there and look at it, and Rody would buy it.

It makes sense. This girl has been living in the mountains and forests all the time, so she is straightforward and naturally won't be polite.

One is one, two is two.

Besides, in Shen He's eyes, all of these are for decorating their future home.

...

Just as the two of them passed by a teahouse.

"Ok?"

Rody caught a glimpse of a man in a dark yellow gown and paused.
