Chapter 234 Tuanzi Niu
“…Mr. Zhongli?” Perhaps all his attention had been focused on Shen Qianluo before, and when the other party spoke, Fengyuan Manye was surprised to realize that there was a Mr. Zhongli standing among the people beside him.
"He finally shows up." Shen Qianluo had obviously noticed it, and the moment he glanced at Zhongli, joy subconsciously flashed across his eyes.
Of course, the serious young man followed closely behind and seemed to realize something. His face turned serious and he immediately pretended to be aloof. "A-Li, did you follow me secretly just to disrupt the great will of the gods?"
It is known that Shen Qianqiao, who is now in that time and space, is in love with Fengyuan Manye, and as an elder brother, Lord Qianluo is quite fond of the well-behaved and virtuous appearance of the human boy——
But regarding the fact that Shen Qianqiao likes Fengyuan Manye, the elder brother has a clear attitude and a firm stand. He is determined to protect the innocence and purity of his younger brother. For any creature that covets the innocent and lovely Shen Qianqiao, dark shark, dark shark, and dark shark them all!
Therefore, the great young master thought of a perfect way. As long as there is a difference in the generation between the two children, then the well-behaved and virtuous Fengyuan Manye will not be able to take away the innocent and lovely Shen Qianqiao~
Moreover, in terms of seniority, it can also give him a great advantage in the internal and external disputes with Longlong (for example, calling the young master the mighty father and Longlong the cute mother)...
No, that's not right. He is the active, powerful, noble one, and he doesn't bother to strive for any advantage!
But the perfect plan that was almost successful was disrupted by Longlong's sudden interruption. How could he not have a sad look on his face?
"It's a pity that Ali is a step too late. Wan Ye has already agreed to this great thing. Ordinary people may not be able to understand the profound meaning of the gods, but in time, time will prove the correctness of the gods' words."
"You are still too young to be worthy of this position. In my opinion, the position of elder brother is more appropriate. If you insist on being a father or mother... when you reach the appropriate age, I can satisfy you."
Maple Leaf:?
Did he hear something he shouldn't have heard?
The human boy looked left and right and felt that the atmosphere was strange. He thought for a moment, and under his unreasonable vigilance, he felt that Shen Qianluo was secretly deceiving him.
“… Humph, it’s nothing but empty talk.” Feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Zhongli, Shen Qianluo turned his head away and hummed, his cheeks slightly flushed, “Then, let Wan Ye make the decision himself…”
"If possible, I would still like to call you two brothers."
Shen Qianluo:?
Unable to accept it for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Fengyuan Manye who was always well-behaved. Shen Qianluo wanted to get angry, but he felt that it was quite embarrassing. He coughed heavily and dissatisfied, and said in a dark tone: "That's good. Since Manye has made a decision, how can a god regret it for no reason?"
The plan to disrupt the generational order failed miserably...
Thinking of this, the elder brother's heart became even more confused. It seemed that he was about to watch his younger brother happily hugging Fengyuan Manye and rubbing against him, leaving his brother behind and running away hand in hand with his lover in the miserable future.
...How can this be!
Looking at the boy who had a stiff face and was about to explode but was trying to maintain a magnanimous image for the sake of face, Zhongli, who probably heard that this matter might be related to Shen Qianqiao, smiled lightly and raised his hand to touch his head and smooth his hair: "Didn't you say you wanted to experience the folk elegance of Inazuma? This is a rare opportunity, let's go together."
He saw that Shen Qianluo looked depressed, but still awkwardly extended his soft hand to him, clasped his five fingers together and held Longlong tightly to prevent him from getting lost, and took the lead and stepped out first.
"I'm not unhappy at all. I'm just thanking the gods for their generosity. Today I'm treating you. You can choose whatever you want. No need to worry about etiquette."
Kaedehara Manye, who had eaten a mouthful of sweet dog food for no apparent reason, said: “…Okay.”
·
I have to say, Shen Qianluo is quite easy to please.
Or perhaps, the arrogant young master could only be appeased if Zhongli personally stepped in.
"This is... Liyue's Lord Xiaoshen? Oh, the two people next to him, I guess they are Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Fengyuan. I sell all kinds of snacks here, including octopus balls, dumplings, and... our best-selling dumpling milk, which is a sweet dessert I accidentally developed and is well received by the general."
The three of them walked around and enjoyed a lot of Inazuma delicacies, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. The stall owner they met seemed to have quite a bit of experience in receiving gods. Facing the reputation of the flute god, he was not afraid of the stage, and showed a familiar smile, "Are you guys here to collect inspiration for the duel? Why not try a bowl of dango milk?"
Shen Qianluo showed a thoughtful look: "Dumpling milk? What is this, a combination of dumplings and milk?... It is quite innovative like me."
Zhongli also pinched his chin: "Well... either dumplings or milk are good ingredients for dessert baking, and the combination of the two is indeed a unique and wonderful idea."
Fengyuan Manye suggested: "If you are interested, why not give it a try?"
Zhongli declined: "I am not a sweet tooth, and wasting food is unacceptable. I will leave the flavor of this thing for you two to taste."
So a few minutes later...
"No, no, the overly sticky taste really interferes with the sweetness brought by the taste buds. Thor actually likes this taste?" The young man who took a sip revealed a subtle expression visibly.
"If I were to make it, I would add the puff fruit and the stamens of the Explosive Flame Tree... However, I heard that there is a plant called Lightning on Mount Xumi. If I use the stamens of the Lightning Tree instead, it should produce a refreshing cloud-like and intense collision-like sweetness."
After tasting it, Fengyuan Manye also had a subtle expression: "...Pong Peng Fruit? Explosive Tree? Lightning Tree?"
“In the competition three days from now, perhaps we can start from the angle of elemental power and unique taste.” Zhongli concluded calmly without being surprised.
"It's a good suggestion..." However, Shen Qianluo nodded, and as he spoke, his voice disappeared.
He looked down at the Tuanzi Milk that he couldn't finish after taking just one sip, and then secretly glanced at Longlong who had escaped the disaster. The boy blinked his eyes, "Are you really not going to try it, Ali? Maybe you will like this sweet taste."
Zhongli looked down at him, the warm light from the street shining between them: "Can't you really appreciate this taste?"
Shen Qianluo smiled at him, came closer obediently, held his arm, raised the sweets he had drunk and put them to Longlong's mouth: "How about a bite?"
"Well, it's good to taste some sweetness occasionally." Zhongli did not reject his advances at all. He calmly took the dumpling and milk, and finished the horrible food that Shen Qianluo could not swallow without changing his expression.
At a loss, holding her own dango milk all alone, Kaedehara Manye: “You two… everyone’s eyes…”
"Human attention? Don't worry about it. Ali and I are already lovers, and it's normal for us to have some emotional exchanges on the streets. This is probably the first time Wan Ye and everyone have met, but we'll get used to it in the future."
"In the near future, Qianluo and I will be active in your country frequently. I'm sorry to bother you all."
"You two, come over here. There's a fox mask seller not far away, as well as the majestic Emperor Longlong. Come on, and serve as the inspiration for today's dessert."
“Masks and desserts may be slightly different.”
"No problem, you see, this one is very suitable for Ali."
“……” Fengyuan Manye finally sighed.
