Chapter 296 Moonlight Dessert ShopEgolia Wants a Child
"Everyone is gone..." Billy sighed, slowly fading the melancholy on his face: "Let's take a walk on the street for a while..."
"Look... at the new era now."
He took his clothes from the hanger, changed into formal attire, and picked up the gentleman's cane beside him.
Standing in front of the mirror, he tidied up his appearance a little, trying to make his decadent and melancholy temperament look more optimistic.
"Mr. Billy is still very energetic today."
He smiled very reluctantly, enjoying the bitterness of being immortal.
……
Dessert Street·Mosan Street……
The sweet aroma permeates the air, tempting people's taste buds.
This is a paradise for desserts. The streets are lined with all kinds of dessert shops. A wide variety of exquisite desserts are displayed in front of the shops, attracting passers-by.
The streets were crowded with people laughing and talking.
Children hold colorful gifts in their hands, their faces are filled with joy; lovers share sweet cakes, their eyes are full of love; the elderly taste traditional cakes and recall the good old days...
The pastry chefs are busy working in the store, using their dexterous hands to create desserts that are like works of art.
The open-air seats outside the store were filled with people tasting desserts. They enjoyed the delicious food while appreciating the performances of street performers.
Cheerful music and singing echoed in the streets, adding more joy to the lively atmosphere.
"It's so lively..." Su Nan glanced at the scene around him. He was wearing a dark black robe and was so out of place with the people around him.
Coupled with his extraordinary temperament, the young girls and young women walking on both sides secretly looked at him with a sidelong glance.
Looking at Sunan's cheeks and eyes, their cheeks unconsciously flushed.
Obviously, they were also caught up in fantasy time.
After all... they knew the identity of the person in front of them...
The greatest supreme being and god-king of Holy Lemuria, the dream lover of ladies, banshees, and goddesses - His Majesty the God of the Sea!
It’s a pity that His Majesty the Sea God is a lovesick man and has only one partner so far.
Otherwise, to be honest, they all wanted to try to come to His Majesty and ask for his contact information.
If possible, the brave girls would all like to try to offer themselves to a man... provided that they can be noticed.
"Speaking of which...what kind of dessert does Leah like?" Sunan looked around the dessert shops and fell into deep thought.
As a god who prefers to have too much rather than too little, Sunan’s main feature is to buy everything... even if it has no use now.
Just like ordinary people buying vegetables in the market, lonely people always struggle with what to eat today, whether to eat good food or simple food...
After much hesitation, I finally bought them all.
While Sunan was thinking, the Divine Duke Billy said goodbye to the servants who wanted to go with him or the ladies he met by chance, came to Sunan's side, and said in a low but powerful voice:
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Your Majesty the Sea God."
When Su Nan heard this, he looked at him without any surprise in his eyes, and spoke very naturally.
"It's you, little Billy."
"Why do you suddenly want to go out for a walk today?"
"If I tell you that I have been waiting for you here for the past few days, would you believe it?" Billy said to Sunan in a humorous tone.
As everyone knows, His Majesty the Sea God of Holy Lemuria is not a proper Majesty in most cases... or rather, His Majesty the Sea God never makes himself look superior.
He is very friendly, so the people of Holy Lemuria love him.
"You little guy have learned to lie, right?" Sunan chuckled and joked to Billy.
"In response to your question, I said this subconsciously..." Billy lowered his head slightly, his voice calm.
"In a sense, it can be considered as growth brought about by time."
"You didn't say these interesting things before..." Su Nan shook his head, and then suggested: "How about walking with me?"
"I will obey your will." Billy's eyes flashed slightly, and then he responded solemnly.
"No need to be so serious, relax..." Seeing this, Sunan patted Billy's shoulder.
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Billy breathed out and said with some relief.
Walking on the street, Su Nan asked while taking a leisurely stroll.
"Speaking of which... do you know what kind of desserts are most popular among girls on Mosan Street?"
"If you ask others, maybe they don't know, but you ask me..." Billy's face showed a hint of pride: "It can only be said that you really asked the right person."
"Then tell me about it." Su Nan smiled.
"Please follow me..." Billy performed an invitation and then led the way to the middle of the street, to a dessert shop called "Moonlight".
"Moonlight..." Su Nan's eyes flashed slightly, and he murmured softly.
"Welcome to Moonlight Dessert Shop..." The receptionist standing at the door was saying the same words as always, when she suddenly noticed the identities of the two visitors.
One is the founder of Mosan Street, a demigod with the title of Imperial Duke—Duke Billy!
And Duke Billy happens to be the boss behind Moonlight Dessert Shop.
As for the other one...his status is even higher!
"Your Majesty the God of the Sea? And His Excellency the Duke..." The receptionist looked straight at Su Nan, her eyes and movements a little awkward.
Obviously, it was a bit surprising and even horrifying for her that Sunan, the supreme being of Holy Lemuria, could come to this dessert shop.
"You go down first." Billy said softly to the receptionist, "Your Majesty, I will entertain you."
"Your Majesty the Duke...His Majesty the God of the Sea?" The receptionist listened to Billy's words and looked at Su Nan with a little nervousness.
After seeing Su Nan nod slightly, she quickly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..."
After saying that, he trotted into the store, disregarding the etiquette he had learned before.
"She's..." Seeing the receptionist's fleeing-like action, Su Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a man-eating monster..."
"Your Majesty's power is not something that ordinary people can bear..." Billy smiled and explained, "A sacred and great being like Your Majesty suddenly came here, so naturally the employees in the store were a little flattered."
"I was a little rude for not informing you and making preparations in advance. Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
At this point, Billy took the initiative to blame himself for the receptionist's rude behavior.
"Look at what you said..." Sunan shook his head: "I'm not a tyrant, how could I blame you?"
"It's just an ordinary little thing... don't take it to heart."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Billy bowed to Su Nan again, and then began to introduce the desserts in the Moonlight Dessert Shop to Su Nan.
"Next, please allow me to introduce you to the most popular desserts on the entire Mosan Street..."
"This is Qianling Mousse. It has a soft texture and melts in your mouth..." Billy pointed at the most eye-catching blue pastry on the front desk and said:
"Its color is like the ripples on the water; its appearance is elegant, like flowers just picked from the branches; its taste is light, as if snow melts in the throat..."
"For most of the girls in Fontaine, eating Thousand Spirits Mousse even once a year would make them feel extremely happy."
"So, this thing is very expensive?" Su Nan looked at the crystal clear pastry with interest.
"It's not expensive..." Billy shook his head slightly and replied, "Even if you don't have a job and can only rely on the subsidy from Holy Lemuria, you can still have enough spare money to taste Thousand Soul Mousse two or three times a month."
"The reason I say this is naturally because the amount of Qianling Mousse is limited."
"The raw materials for this dessert are not expensive. Bird eggs, butter, sugar, jam..."
“But the production method is more complicated and requires a high level of craftsmanship from the pastry chef.”
"In addition, while Holy Lemuria has brought a good life to its people, it has also naturally given rise to a group of people who do not engage in production and rely solely on government subsidies to survive... Hmm..."
"In short, nowadays, there are very few people willing to become pastry chefs."
Having said this, he stopped talking out of courtesy.
After all, it would be impolite to continue talking about it.
And from another perspective, he can be considered a non-productive person nowadays.
"It seems that good welfare is also a mistake in a sense..." Su Nan stroked his chin and thought so.
"I understand what you mean, Little Billy." He smiled and said, "Do you think the welfare of the empire is too good, so that there will be an imbalance between productivity and demand in the future, or even a financial crisis?"
"Financial crisis..." Billy heard these four words and carefully savored the meaning behind them. After a few seconds, he said with a sigh, "You are indeed His Majesty the Sea God."
"In just four words, it perfectly summarizes the crisis that is very likely to occur in this future timeline."
Su Nan smiled, shook his head and said, "This economic crisis was not concluded by me, but by someone else... As for who that person was, he has passed away for a long time now."
"Is that so..." Billy's eyes flickered with a hint of admiration.
"Let's get back to the topic." Su Nan stopped Billy's divergent thinking and added, "I already know what you're thinking..."
"But you have to understand one thing, little Billy."
“The development of the times has its advantages and disadvantages.”
"In the past, before Holy Lemuria unified the High Sea, all the people of the High Sea had to work hard and fight hard."
"Fight against the heavens, fight against the earth, fight against monsters... and even fight against our own people."
"Enduring hunger due to lack of food, facing death due to monster attacks, despairing of disasters caused by the sea tide..."
"They have fought so hard for so many generations, and finally they can take a break... let them rest."
"As for the future... let's talk about it later. I'll take care of it, so you don't need to worry about it."
Sunan's strength enables him to make a perfect backup for everything that will happen in Holy Lemuria in the future... just like the original in "A Story Before the Sun and the Moon".
"But just in case, we still have to make some small changes. Otherwise, if we don't keep all these people, neither technology nor the economy will be able to develop properly..."
Su Nan fell into deep thought, and Billy beside him remained silent, not wanting to make a sound to disturb Su Nan's thoughts.
After a long time...
"Go on and introduce the pastries here, little Billy."
