Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

As he said this, he looked at Rody inquiringly, "My dear Rody, may I ask if this medicine came from you?"

"That's natural." Rody nodded.

“Is that so?” Zhongli murmured, then turned and shook his head at Miss Keqing, apologetically.

"I'm sorry Miss Keqing, I couldn't help you."

To be honest, Zhongli is indeed a humble god. He loves the land beneath his feet and is willing to protect the people of Liyue. Unfortunately, he suffers from the pain brought by wear and tear.

If it hadn't reached the point where I couldn't hold on any longer, I probably wouldn't be so eager to unload the burden.

"no problem, no problem."

Keqing waved her hands repeatedly. Although she looked stern and mature on weekdays, she was still just a girl after all.

"Eh~"

She sighed, her expression quite cute and a little regretful.

"I thought we could produce it in large quantities." Keqing said, supporting her chin.

"Now it seems that the medicinal materials in the prescription are too precious, right?"

"almost."

Rody nodded. He certainly wouldn't tell everyone that he was from another world. This medicine wasn't from this world, so how could there be a prescription?

Zhongli must have thought of this before he said that.

"But if Miss Keqing needs it, I can sell you a batch. I still have a lot." Rody comforted.

"Really?" Keqing's eyes lit up and she was in high spirits. "That's great."

"only..."

Seeing Luo Di hesitate again, Ke Qingxin raised her question again, "But what? Mr. Luo, if you have any concerns, please feel free to speak up."

"Oh, I didn't mean the drugs."

Rody waved his hand and said, "Miss Keqing, you may not know that on my way here, I reached a cooperation agreement with a businessman named Lin and promised to give him a batch of medicines."

"Now that we have reached a contract, I am afraid it will be difficult to violate it, so I cannot sell all of it to you."

"That's it."

Keqing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It doesn't matter. As long as there are any left, we will take them. How about we give Mr. Luo a satisfactory price?"

Rody guessed what Keqing was thinking just by looking at her confident expression.

Most likely they plan to purchase directly from Shopkeeper Lin, so that it won't be considered a breach of contract, although it may be more expensive.

It’s a good workaround.

"That's fine too."

Roughly settle this matter.

Keqing acted decisively and immediately stood up to say goodbye and leave.

"Then I'll go back first. I need to discuss this matter with the other seven stars."

"Yeah." Rody didn't say where he lived. He thought Keqing had probably found out already. Even if she didn't know now, she would find out soon. There was no need to bother with that.

and...

He doesn't know how to get back yet.

Thinking of this, Roddy felt that he must find an opportunity to cure his problem of being a directionally challenged person.

"correct."

Seeing Keqing was about to leave, she stopped and pointed at the porcelain bottle on the table.

"Can you sell this bottle of medicine to me first?"

“Of course.” Rody blinked, put the cork back into the porcelain bottle, and handed it to Keqing. “It’s just a bottle of healing medicine. I’ll give it to you, young lady.”

“How can this be possible?” Keqing waved her hands quickly. “This is not what I want. This is mainly about the Qianyan Army. If the authorities decide to purchase in large quantities, it will be included in the total amount.”

"That's fine too." Rody smiled.

But when Keqing saw his smile, her cheeks flushed again and she looked away, "Then... See you then."

...

Wait for Keqing to leave in a hurry.

"With such a dynamic leader, Liyue will surely remain vibrant." Rody sighed as he watched the Thousand Rocks Army leave from the window.

Although young people may seem less stable, their energy can bring more vitality to this ancient country.

"What young friend Rody said is true." Zhongli nodded.

"Then Mr. Zhongli, don't you have anything to ask me?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhongli's expression changed. He sighed, "I'm afraid my friend Rody is not as young as he looks."

Does this mean he is old?

"Indeed, I have some questions for you, my friend." Zhongli's expression became more serious. "I wonder if you two could move aside? I have a small courtyard nearby, it's quieter there."

Rody naturally wouldn't refuse.

It seems that he was right. Zhongli's expression changed just now without any concealment, and he saw it clearly.

Anything that could cause Zhongli's mood to change is probably because something attracted him.

Roddy thought Zhongli would ask about this.

Shen He, on the other hand, seemed to be in a bad mood. Although she still looked calm and had no emotional fluctuations, as if nothing could attract her attention, Roddy could feel the difference.

For example...

"It seems that young friend Rody has a special relationship with this lady." Zhongli glanced at Shen He's hand holding Rody's sleeve and said with a smile.

Hey, hey, hey. Roddy heard the teasing and some black lines appeared on his forehead.

He is thousands of years old, yet he still teases young people.

However, walking on the street like this would indeed attract more attention. Rody looked at Shen He hesitantly.

But he happened to meet Shen He's light blue eyes.

"If Luo Lang doesn't want to, Shen He can let go."

Tsk tsk tsk, Zhongli’s smile became even more intense.

Now that things have come to this, looking at Shen He's stubborn yet somewhat pitiful expression of 'Don't bow your head, the crown will fall and the bitch will laugh', Roddy sighed and simply held Shen He's hand with his backhand.

"That's good."

Rody turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Zhongli, Hey, I have a white-haired girl to date, what about you?

Speaking of which, there should be an immortal lady in Liyue City, who is waiting somewhere quietly for a certain Rock God.

Zhongli's expression froze. He understood the provocation in Rody's eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Please follow me."

Soon, they arrived at a villa near the street.

A tall tung cypress tree is planted outside the yard, providing a large area of ​​shade for the yard.

This courtyard is smaller than the villa of Manager Lin where Rody is temporarily staying. There is only a stone table for resting and drinking tea, but when you look up, you can see a large area of ​​green grass, which is also nice.

"Please take a seat."

Zhongli said this and took the lead to sit down at the stone table.

It seemed that they didn't even plan to prepare some tea to entertain the guests.

But then again, who can be the guest of Emperor Rock King and be entertained personally by him?

This is like being Morax and going out without Mora.

"Mr. Zhongli, feel free to say whatever you want to say," Rody said straight to the point.

"In that case, Zhongli won't be polite with you, young friend." Zhongli nodded, with a more serious look on his face.

This solemnity adds a bit of dignity to his elegant and easy-going personality.

Very handsome.

“I wonder if you have any other medicines that you can show to Zhongli.”

"Medicine?" Rody blinked.

Zhongli pondered for a moment and explained, "I think you know my identity."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Rody nodded. Although he told Shen He directly, Zhongli had never officially revealed his identity.

If he reveals his identity now, it means that this matter has nothing to do with Zhongli, but involves the gods.

But Roddy was a little puzzled. The healing medicine he gave was just an ordinary medicine, not even a pill.

Why is Emperor Yanwang so formal?

Zhongli saw that Luodi was confused and sighed, "My friend, you don't know..."

...

Before becoming the Rock King Emperor.

Zhongli has lived for countless years, but although he has the body of an immortal demon god, he has an unsolvable drawback.

It is the endless memories created by the long years.

For ordinary people.

Memories will be forgotten, and the brain will automatically hide or delete less important memories.

Avoid too many memories affecting your thinking and consciousness.

Just imagine, if a person could remember everything that happened from childhood to adulthood, would that make life very tiring, entangled by all kinds of painful and sad memories?

For example, some things that make you regret, or the departure of loved ones, etc.

If you can't get out, you'll always be stuck in it.
