Chapter 224 Paimon: Wang Hao, I was beaten
Liuyunjiefeng's request was simple.
Shen He will live in Liyue Harbor or in the human world for a while.
She hopes that Wang Hao and Keqing can take care of Shen He and not let Shen He suffer any grievances.

do not know why,
She said that when Shen He was wronged,
The barrage in Wang Hao's eyes was full of question marks.

Maybe he was shocked by what Master Liuyunjiefeng said about Shen He being wronged.

However, Wang Hao and Keqing still agreed to the unreasonable request of Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

He just helped me, how could I refuse?

Moreover, taking care of the immortal disciples who come down the mountain also falls within the scope of the integration of immortals and mortals.

So, Shen He followed Wang Hao and Keqing back to Liyue Harbor.

As for the materials for Ba Che, they are wrapped in amber by Zhenjun Li Shui Die Shan, so storage is not a problem. Later, someone will be sent to transport them back to Liyue Harbor bit by bit and then store them away.

It's not of much use now, but it will definitely be useful in the future.

Walking on the streets of Liyue...

to be frank,
Wang Hao is not someone who cares about other people's opinions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked under the name of butcher.

However, even Wang Hao could not withstand Shen He's cold gaze.

It’s not that the look is too scary.

But...

When he is with Keqing, it is inevitable that they will have some intimate contact.

At such times, Shen He would look at them deeply,

Those cold eyes were full of curiosity and desire to explore.

I can't stand it, I really can't stand it.

In Shen He's inquiring eyes,
Keqing gave Wang Hao a light kiss on the face and then hurried away.

Not only Wang Hao couldn't bear it, but Keqing couldn't bear it either, so she escaped.

"Is this some kind of cultivation method?" Shen He suddenly asked as he watched Keqing leave.

"What?" Wang Hao paused, not being able to understand what the other party meant.

Shen He looked calm: "When she touched your mouth with her mouth just now, your heartbeat and blood flow accelerated. Is this a form of cultivation?"

Wang Hao: …

[Yes, it is the method of cultivation. I want to cultivate with Shen He.]

[Fix your mother's head, I'll do it! ]

[Will it be too hurtful for him if you say that? How about I do it! ]

[I'll hurt your mother's head! 】

[All of you go away, I'm here! ]

【…】

The barrage was noisy.

Wang Hao looked at her speechlessly: "Didn't Master Liuyun Jiefeng teach you... basic physiological knowledge?"

"Physiology... common sense?" Shen He tilted his head and said, "I know that the back of the head, temples, cervical vertebrae, internal organs, and spine are all vital physiological parts of humans."

The barrage was suddenly filled with question marks.

Wang Hao looked at her in amazement: "Is this all the physiological knowledge you understand?"

"Isn't that right?" Shen He's cold face was full of seriousness.

She thought she was right.

"Yes, that's right, but you are talking about physiological vitals, and I am talking about physiological common sense..."

Wang Hao looked confused and didn't know how to explain it.

The term "physiological common sense" was not very accurate in the first place, and now that Shen He was looking at him with such a cold gaze, it was even more difficult for him to explain.

"Oh, forget it. Just remember that a kiss between a man and a woman expresses love, not cultivation." Wang Hao said roughly.

"love?"

Shen He was in a trance for a moment, then suddenly spoke,
"Like parents?"

Wang Hao nodded: "It's about the same. Parents usually start with love and then move on to family affection."

Hearing this, Shen He suddenly fell silent.

Wang Hao didn't think much about it and stayed quiet along the way.
Bring Shen He to the orphanage.

Because Shen He had no place to live, it was impossible for Wang Hao to bring her back to his home with Keqing.

In fact, as a disciple of an immortal, it would not be a problem to arrange a place to live using the resources of the General Affairs Department.

But considering that Shen He is indeed somewhat ignorant of worldly affairs,
Therefore, Wang Hao decided to arrange for her to live in an orphanage.

Anyway, the funds currently used by the orphanage are all his, so he is not afraid of being accused of taking advantage.

It is afternoon now.
Wang Hao returned to the orphanage with a tall, cold and beautiful girl, which surprised many of his younger brothers and sisters.

In their opinion, Wang Hao and Keqing are a couple, so why is there a new sister around them now?
Shen He looked at the people around him and frowned slightly: "You want me to live here?"

Wang Hao paused: "Are you disgusted?"

Shen He shook his head: "I am used to the wild mountains, mansions, and thatched cottages. There is no difference to me, except..."

She looked around and continued, "It's just that there are too many people here. I am born with the evil spirit of loneliness, which makes it easy for me to hurt people around me. Everyone here looks at you with a friendly attitude, and I don't want to hurt them."

Hearing this, Wang Hao smiled.

"You have good intentions."

Seeing Wang Hao laughing, Shen He frowned: "I'm telling the truth. If outsiders get close to me, I will hurt them."

Shen He is too aware of his bad luck.

Not only will she be filled with suffering, but those around her will also suffer.

Wang Hao stopped smiling and looked at Shen He: "Why do you think Master Liuyun Jiefeng entrusted you to my care?"

He asked back, without waiting for Shen He to answer.

Wang Hao laughed again: "Don't worry, since I arranged you here, I must have considered it."

Lonely Star Robbery...

If this kind of evil spirit could come to him on his territory,
Then Wang Hao should just find a piece of tofu and commit suicide.

The hometown of the New Order was attacked by evil spirits. If this gets out, people will laugh to death.

"This is Shen He, you can just call her sister. She is a disciple of a master and will stay with us for a while. Don't offend her, understand?"

Wang Hao looked at the children around him again and began to introduce them.

The children nodded quickly and said, "Got it, Brother Hao."

Wang Hao nodded and looked at Shen He again: "Let's go to the backyard."

Bringing people to the backyard,
Wang Hao looked around and found that there were quite a few rooms in the backyard, but not many were suitable for Shen He.

The main reason is that there are not many rooms that can be lived in without having to clean up the backyard.

One room is for Wang Hao, and the other is for Keqing. These two rooms definitely cannot be given to Shen He.

The remaining rooms...

Wang Hao's gaze rested on the room where Ying had lived before.

"Well, let's take this one. It used to be where my friends lived. Now they've moved to Inazuma. Everything inside has been replaced with new ones. You can just live here."

Pointing to Ying and Paimeng's room, Wang Hao said to Shen He.

Shen He nodded expressionlessly, "Okay."

"Well, I have a place to live." Wang Hao thought about it, and remembered what Shen He had just said about physiological common sense, and then he couldn't help asking, "Do you know what is needed to live in human society?"

Shen He looked at Wang Hao with his blue eyes, as if he was looking at a fool: "We need Mora."

Wang Hao felt a little embarrassed and annoyed by being looked at, but he didn't know how to refute.

This Shen He seems to be out of touch with the world and doesn't know much about some common sense, but sometimes he knows a lot.

This is very uncomfortable.

"Then do you have Mora?" Wang Hao could only ask again.

Shen He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Oh, Master said that we have to pay for accommodation at the foot of the mountain."

As she spoke, she took out a Mora bag from somewhere and handed it to Wang Hao: "Here you go."

Wang Hao: …

"I don't need your money. The True Lord asked me to take care of you. What I mean is, do you have a stable source of Mora?" Wang Hao said helplessly again.

It was indeed difficult for him to communicate with Shen He.

However, he also understood that when talking to Shen He, he had to make everything clear and not let her understand on her own.

Otherwise, her thought process is completely different from that of normal people.

However, the barrage of comments is already filled with hahahahahaha.

"A stable source of Mora?" Shen He was still innocent. "Do you mean making money?"

Wang Hao: …

Sometimes it is really difficult to tell who doesn’t understand human society.

"You don't have to put so much effort into talking to me. Just say it directly. I'm just not used to the mountains. It's not that I don't understand everything."

Shen He spoke again.

Wang Hao could only nod to show that he understood.

"As for making money, I know. My master told me that if there is no Mora anymore, I should go outside Liyue Harbor, find some treasure-stealing groups, beat them up, and then there will be Mora again."

Shen He said seriously.

Wang Hao was silenced again.

This time of communication with Shen He was more than the number of times he was silent in a whole year.

Shen He's words actually make sense.

But it just didn't sound right.

To integrate into normal human society, shouldn't one find a job?

If you don't have money, go find a treasure thief group...

Master Liuyunjiefeng’s teaching is really good.

Wang Hao mourned for the treasure-stealing group in his heart for three seconds, then nodded happily: "Well, this is not bad, you can also capture the treasure-stealing group and hand them over to the Qianyan Army, and maybe there will be a reward for them."

Shen He's eyes lit up: "Is it possible? Master never taught me that."

Of course, Master Liuyun Jiefeng would not teach her, because she probably didn't care about the bounty offered by the Qianyan Army.

"Okay, now you have a place to live and an income, and you can be considered to have settled down in Liyue Harbor. Have you thought about what to do next?"

Wang Hao asked again.

"The master didn't say that."

Shen He shook his head, somewhat bewildered.

"Master said that I should understand the worldly affairs so that I can make better progress."

“But when I asked Master how to realize it, Master didn’t tell me.”

Wang Hao nodded and understood. The purpose was to let Shen He come to Liyue Harbor to experience the various aspects of human life.

"Then you can go out for a walk, eat some delicious food, watch a play, listen to a book, or try out a job that ordinary people do, and do what ordinary people do."

Shen He's eyes lit up: "Is this what you call enlightenment?"

“The so-called realization should be divided into two parts: one is to experience it physically, and the other is to realize it.”

"I'm only talking about the body. As for the understanding, that depends on you."

Wang Hao explained to Shen He.

Shen He nodded thoughtfully.

She is definitely not stupid. As a disciple of an immortal, she is just not adapted to the human world.

When Wang Hao made his words clear, she naturally understood.

After a while,
Wang Hao continued, "Human society has its own order and laws. So, if you encounter any problem, don't rely solely on violence to solve it. Use violence to protect yourself, and then notify the Qianyan Army."

He also saw some of Shen He's "plots" mentioned in the comments, and felt that it was necessary to remind Shen He.

"Everything must be done in moderation."

Wang Hao said earnestly.

Shen He didn't know whether he understood or not. He just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Well, that's it. I won't say anything else. If there really is any trouble and you think it's hard to solve, come to me or Keqing."

Shen He understood this sentence.

She nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Wang Hao waved his hand: "These are just the instructions of the True Lord. Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he turned and left. He still had to discuss with Qixing how to use Ba Che's "legacy".

After Wang Hao left,

Shen He first went to the room, looked around, and then walked out.
From the backyard to the front yard,
The children playing in the front yard immediately looked at her.

Some children who were attracted by her cool temperament and beautiful appearance slowly approached her.

Shen He subconsciously wanted to stay away.

She was afraid that her bad luck would hurt the children.

But then he remembered what Wang Hao had said before, and his body suddenly stopped.

The children did not notice Shen He's actions.

They approached Shen He,
A little girl raised her head and looked at the tall Shen He: "Sister, you are so tall."

Compared to other sisters that children often see, such as Keqing and Ying, Shen He is indeed very tall.

Shen He's cold face froze slightly. He lowered his eyes to look at the little girl, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She doesn't communicate with the child.

"Sister, why don't you speak? Are you shy?"

The little girl didn't care. She moved closer to Shen He and asked with a smile.

Life in the orphanage was not hard, and with the care of the director's grandmother,

Most of the children are cheerful and lively.

The few who don't like to talk are just introverted, not gloomy.

Facing the cold and aloof Shen He, the little girl felt that this older sister was just as shy as her introverted friend.

"No."

Shen He spoke.

"I'm not shy, I just don't know how to say it."

"I'm tall, probably because I practiced magic and martial arts."

She explained the problem to the little girl in a serious manner.

The little girl's eyes lit up: "Magic and martial arts, just like Brother Hao?"

“…I think so.” Shen He said uncertainly.

She had seen Wang Hao use the Rainbow Transformation Method, but she didn't know Wang Hao and couldn't confirm whether Wang Hao was using the same method as her.

"Can sister play with a gun? Brother Hao plays with a gun very well." The little girl asked excitedly.

Shen He was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I will."

Her majors were spearmanship and talisman magic.

Then, without waiting for the little girl to continue asking, Shen He looked down at her and said, "Do you want to see it?"

The little girl was about to speak.
Then I saw the director's grandmother walking in from the door.

"grandmother!"

The children around immediately gathered around.

The director smiled and rubbed the heads of each child before finally looking at Shen He.

"Grandma, this is Sister Shen He, a friend of Brother Hao, who is staying with us temporarily."

The little girl took the initiative to introduce herself to the director’s grandmother.

A hint of realization appeared in the Dean's grandmother's eyes, and then she smiled and nodded to Shen He: "Since you are Wang Hao's friend, just treat this place as your own home."

Shen He's cold expression changed slightly: "Treat it as... your own home?"

When the director’s grandmother saw it, she immediately understood it as she was experienced.

This beautiful girl is probably also a poor person.

He walked to Shen He and held Shen He's cold hand.

"Well, if you treat everyone as family, then this is home."

Shen He's eyes flickered slightly, as if he felt a different kind of love from his master.

"Let me try."

She opened her lips slightly and uttered three barely audible words.

……

Wang Hao didn't know that the director's grandmother treated Shen He as a child to comfort him.

He has arrived at the Qun Yu Pavilion.

Ningguang's study.

"So, what do you think about the use of Ba Che, Qixing?"

Wang Hao sat on Ningguang's big sofa without any hesitation, and then asked.

Ningguang glanced at him and said, "No, that's your spoils. You can deal with it yourself."

The Seven Stars had actually discussed this.

But the final result was that this was Wang Hao's spoils of war, and they were not bold enough to come forward and share it.

"You don't want it?"

Wang Hao raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Ningguang rolled her eyes. "What do you think the Seven Stars are? A glutton? They want everything."

"Not only did you save the food fleet, you also solved the threat of Ba Che. Qi Xing didn't have time to do anything, and then you came here to share a piece of the pie. Do you think it's appropriate?"

There was something speechless in Ningguang's voice.

She didn't know what Wang Hao was thinking. Why did he feel that Qixing would want Bazhe's remains?

"This……"

Wang Hao was speechless for a moment.

He didn't really think too much about it.

I just feel that I can’t use so much, so I might as well use it to develop Liyue.

In fact, it is the protagonist's mentality.

In Wang Hao's subconscious, what belongs to him is Liyue's, and what belongs to Liyue is his.

So he subconsciously blurred the boundaries between the two sides.

It’s just like when an ordinary person buys furniture for his home. How could he possibly consider whether the money should be shared among family members?

"Okay, I'll put the stuff in my personal warehouse. If you need it, just go get it. If Liyue really needs it, I'll let you know."

Ningguang probably understood Wang Hao's thoughts, so she waved her hand and skipped the topic.

"I heard you're going to have a party during the Lantern Festival?"

"Well, how did it all reach your ears?" Wang Hao was a little surprised.

Ningguang was very busy with official duties, not to mention her daily routine, but she still cared about his party, which surprised him a little.

"Nothing you have is trivial. I know that. Do you want me to reserve a place for you at the dock?"

Ningguang said with a smile.

Because you want to have a party, so you set aside a special area for yourself at the pier?

Wang Hao quickly shook his head: "No, no, public power cannot be used for private purposes."

“Hahahaha, is that how you look at me?” Ningguang rolled her eyes at him. “I rented this dock. If you want to use it, I only need to stop for half a day to ship goods.”

Leasing docks is a common practice among some wealthy merchants in Liyue.

Their huge cargo volume makes it impossible for them to queue up to enter the port like small merchants.
Therefore, these wealthy merchants would calculate the time and directly book a dock, and only allow their ships to enter.

It may seem like a privilege, but in reality, it is just an alternative allocation of the port’s carrying capacity.

The General Affairs Department will control the distribution.
Not only can they make more money, but it can also prevent the ships of wealthy merchants from squeezing out the ships of ordinary merchants.

As for ordinary businessmen, stopping freight for half a day is simply unthinkable because the capital for renting a dock is very expensive.

But for Ningguang, it was easy as pie and she didn't care about the loss of time at all.

"The Mingxiao Lantern Festival will be launched at Pier 1. The dock I rented is at Pier 3, and the view is very good. You can arrange it yourself later."

Ningguang didn't care about Wang Hao's refusal and arranged it directly.

Wang Hao could only nod: "Okay then."

He originally wanted to rent a private room in a restaurant facing the harbor by himself.

Now it seems that there is no need.

Being able to watch the sky lanterns rising from close up naturally creates a better atmosphere.

"Well, Xumi recently sent a thank-you letter in the name of the Jingshan Palace. You have done a lot in Xumi. The little Jixiang Grass King expressed his gratitude to you. In addition, the Teaching Academy is also inviting us to send more students for further study."

"You can handle the matter of Jingshan Palace yourself. Regarding the invitation of Jiaolingyuan, we have discussed with the old dean and decided to open at least 50% of the quota to the public, 30% to the General Affairs Department, and 20% to various academies. What do you think?"

"Give half to the people?" Wang Hao raised his eyebrows.

This is a very bold move, which may even damage official interests.

After all, people sent by the government to study will basically continue to work for the government after they return.

But for those who are from the private sector, the government does not have much control over them.

It is equivalent to the same investment, but the return is not as high.

"Well, of this half, part will be put up for auction to raise funds for education for foreign exchanges, and part will be given to those who are talented but have not received systematic education."

Ningguang explained,

"The education system of the Ministry of Education is indeed more complete than ours. They have already achieved free basic education, while we still have the academy or even private school system. This needs to be changed. Inviting more civilian personnel to participate in exchanges is to allow the public to adapt to this universal education system in advance."

"It can also be regarded as laying a foundation for popularizing extraordinary education."

Wang Hao nodded slightly and understood.

Qixing probably wanted to let more knowledgeable people in the society understand the system of the Ministry of Education to popularize basic education.
Then, we can infer that Liyue will carry out basic education reform.

If we start from the grassroots level and then have the seven stars follow suit, it will be much easier to carry out education reform.

"Yes, I support it."

After thinking it through, Wang Hao agreed.

"Well, then I don't have anything to do here. Do you have anything else to do?" Ningguang asked.

"There is one. I have subdued some sea beasts. They may roam the Yunlai Sea area in the future. I am thinking of marking them to distinguish between enemies and friends."

Wang Hao said.

Ningguang frowned: "I received the report, but are these sea beasts trustworthy?"

The struggle between the people of Liyue and the ocean has never stopped.
Whether it was during the Guiliji period or the later Liyue Harbor era.

The threat from the ocean has never left Liyue.

During the Demon War, a demon in the sea attempted to destroy Guiliji and even succeeded.

Later, during the era of the Seven Rulings, sea monster disasters continued to occur.

As Liyue continued to develop, its thousands of ships were hoisted and it began to trade with various countries. The threats from the sea seemed to be far away from ordinary people, but they had never disappeared.

Every year, merchant ships are attacked by sea beasts, suffering losses, or even shipwreck and loss of life.

Under such circumstances, even if Ningguang trusted Wang Hao very much, she could not completely trust the sea beasts he had subdued.

"Um…"

Wang Hao pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"How about this? I'd better not let them get close to Liyue's inner sea. Let them roam in the outer sea area. It just so happens that if they occupy the outer sea, the threat from other wild sea beasts will disappear."

Anyway, the inland sea is full of ships, and sea beasts don’t like it.

Just let them swim in the open sea.

If a Liyue ship encounters an accident in the open sea, it will not be too late for the sea beasts to help a few times, build trust, and then further promote harmony between the two sides.

"Well, that's fine. Don't be too radical. Now that we don't have the Emperor to endorse us, we have to be cautious in everything we do."

Ningguang also nodded, indicating that this was fine.

"Then there's nothing else to do. I'll be leaving first."

After finishing his business, Wang Hao didn't bother Ningguang anymore. There were still quite a few documents on her desk.

I don't know if it will snow today.

After leaving Qun Yu Pavilion, Wang Hao did not return to the orphanage, but went to Yue Hai Pavilion to help Keqing handle official business.

It's afternoon now.
……

the other side,
Inazuma, Umijima, and Coral Palace.

"Xinhai, we are back."

Paimon yelled loudly.

Ying was standing next to her with a smile on her face.

At this time, more than half a month had passed since the new order came into being and was cut down by General Thunder.

In other words, the Lantern Festival is approaching, and Ying and Paimon are here to say goodbye to Xinhai.

They were preparing to return to Liyue to celebrate the festival.

Well, it makes sense to celebrate the festival while surviving the disaster.

"Traveler, Paimon, you're back. How are you doing?"

Xinhai heard the voice and walked out. He saw Ying and Paimon, and asked with a smile.

"That's great. We have rescued a lot of war refugees. Everyone is working hard to help others. If we keep going like this, we will definitely be able to defeat General Raiden."

Paimon said cheerfully.

The last time Wang Hao came, he left hope for the refugees.

The refugees, seeing hope, burst out with enthusiasm and efficiency that even shocked Ying.

They no longer hid in the rebel refugee camps, but instead began to take the initiative to attack.

Not only does it help certain forces active on the battlefield to rescue more refugees, but it also continues to spread the doctrine of order.

Moreover, they were very careful and never gathered in a large area to avoid attracting the attention of General Lei Dian again.

However, no one knows whether General Lei Dian really doesn't know these things.

Anyway, the one at Narukami Taisha Shrine probably knows.

On the battlefield, many people who do not want to continue the war are providing more help.

But everyone knows that the only way to stop the war is to change General Raiden's will.

In this environment, the word of order began to spread from the lowest level to the highest level.

Of course, Ying and Paimeng no longer care about this for the moment, because they can’t wait to go back to Liyue to play.

"Are you here to say goodbye to me?" asked Xinhai of Coral Palace.

Paimon's eyes widened: "How did you know?"

Coral Palace Xinhai smiled and said, "According to the time, Liyue's Lantern Festival is coming soon. If you have the ability to leave Inazuma, you must go back."

A very simple little reasoning,
Of course, there is another reason, that is, Ying and Paimon have talked about returning to Liyue more than once.

Within the scope of Haiji Island, there are many spies in the Coral Palace, so she naturally knows about this kind of conversation.

However, Paimon didn't know he was being 'monitored'.

Hearing what Coral Palace Xinhai said, she nodded with some admiration: "Oh, you are indeed Xinhai, so smart. We are just here to say goodbye."

"Well, I won't force you to stay here. I wish you a happy Lantern Festival. Also, please help me send a letter to Captain Beidou of the Southern Cross Fleet."

As he spoke, Coral Palace Xinhai took out a letter.

Ying took it and nodded without asking what it was. "Okay, I'll definitely deliver it."

Kaigi Island and the Southern Cross Fleet have a trading relationship.

In fact, Beidou sympathizes with Haijima's plight.

But unfortunately, she had to be responsible for her own crew, so she couldn't directly help Kaigi Island.

However, the Southern Cross still provided great help to Kaigi Island, such as food and supplies.

The supplies transported by the Southern Cross Fleet played an important role in the fact that Kaigi Island was able to fight against the shogunate army after being sanctified.

I chatted with Coral Palace Xinhai for a while.
Ying and Paimon said goodbye to each other and left the Coral Palace.

Find a leyline anchor point.
Ying took Paimeng and started the teleportation directly.

...

evening,

Outside Liyue Harbor,

A leyline anchor point somewhere,

A flash of blue and white light passed by.
Ying and Paimon appeared.

"Ah, now that I'm back in Liyue, there's no such oppressive atmosphere as Inazuma in the air."

Paimon was very excited. He took a deep breath and then said happily.

Ying also nodded. Compared to the oppressive feeling of Inazuma, Liyue was indeed comfortable.

"Let's go home and have some rest first, and see if Wang Hao is there."

Ying pulled the flying Paimon over and started walking towards Liyue Harbor.
As she walked, she looked around.

To be honest, Liyue has changed a lot recently.

When I first came to Liyue, although the area outside Liyue Harbor was very clean, there were not many stone slabs on the main road, and most of it was still dirt roads.

But now, not only has the road been widened a lot, but evergreen trees have also been planted on both sides of the road.

At regular intervals, there are carefully designed stone lanterns standing, which are not only neat and beautiful, but also ensure the safety of night travel.

The previous stone slab + dirt road has also changed.
Slabs of stone of different shapes are laid on the ground and spliced ​​together, forming not only a solid road surface but also a unique charm.

In a more physical economy,
The development of roads is basically consistent with the development of people's livelihood.

According to demand, the better the roads are, the more convenient people's lives will be within the area connected by the roads.
This is what Liyue Harbor looks like right now.

As the roads are repaired and become wider and smoother, people's travel becomes more and more convenient.

When Wang Hao and Xingqiu went to study, it took them half a month to walk from Liyue Harbor to Wangshu Inn.
With the development of roads, we can now save at least half the time.

There is a big difference between traveling on a good road and traveling on a broken road.

Of course, Ying didn't notice so many changes.
She just felt that Liyue was becoming more and more beautiful.

Smooth and clean roads, lush evergreen trees, and street lamps standing on both sides.

They all give people a sense of civilized beauty.

In a comfortable mood, Ying brought Paimon into Liyue Harbor.

Compared to the changes outside, the changes inside Liyue Harbor are smaller.

The only visible change is probably that there are more people.

On the streets of Feiyunpo, Paimon had to fly a little higher.
Otherwise, you will be squeezed into a cake by the crowd.

Walking towards the new residential area,

Paimon suddenly stopped.

Ying was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

Paimon's stomach growled, "Hey, if we go back to the kitchen now, it's sure that our meal won't be cooked yet. Why don't we eat first before going back?"

In fact, Paimeng smelled the fragrance of the food and felt a little greedy.

Ying thought about it and felt that what Paimon said made sense.

It was evening now, and the poorhouse must have had dinner.
To avoid waste, although there was some surplus food in the orphanage, it was definitely not enough for Paimon and himself.

Therefore,
Ying's eyes fell on the restaurants on both sides of the road.

"Paimon, I remember you still have a lot of food money left for this month."

Paimon was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, there are still a lot, and Inazuma doesn't even have a place to spend money."

Of course, Inazuma has places to spend money, but they are all in Inazuma City.

While on Kaigi Island, their meals were taken care of by the rebels.

Therefore, these two wanted criminals really have no money to spend.

"Hey~! Let's go, Xinyuexuan."

Ying immediately smiled and pulled Paimon towards the luxurious hotel nearby.

……

Night came,

Ying and Paimeng came out of Xinyuexuan.

The two people's actions are somewhat similar.
One hand supported the belly and the other supported the waist.

Except for the distressed look on Paimon's face and the satisfied look on Ying's, the two were basically in sync.

"No, I don't have the rest of the food money for this month."

Paimon said this with some sadness as he savored the taste of the food.

Ying didn't care at all and continued walking forward: "For the rest of this month, we will eat at Wang Hao's."

Paimon's sad expression froze for a moment, then he nodded vigorously: "Yeah, that's it."

Since Inazuma found so many believers for him, it wouldn't be too much to feed him for half a month.

The two talked as they walked, and from time to time they had to stop to rest, gently stroking their bulging bellies, as if to soothe the corners that had just been filled with delicious food.

There’s nothing I can do. I’m too full.

After walking and stopping many times, we finally returned to the orphanage.

The poorhouse was very quiet at this time.

Most of the children have gone back to their rooms to rest.

Ying and Paimeng did not disturb them and walked quietly to the backyard.

When I arrived at the backyard, I first looked at Wang Hao and Keqing's room and found that there was no movement.
Ying shook her head slightly: "No one."

Paimon nodded and flew off to his room.

in the room,
Shen He, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

There was a chilling chill in those cold eyes.

'Someone is approaching. '

In the middle of the night, he sneaked up here.
He is definitely not a good person.

She instantly thought of the stories her master had told her about treasure-stealing gangs and thieves.

So, she quietly stood up, put her long fingers together, and an ice-blue talisman appeared at her fingertips.

Wang Hao said that we should not be too violent, as human society has order and laws.

Shen He remembered it, so she didn't use any powerful talismans.
next moment,
Ying and Paimeng opened the door and were about to go back to their room to have a good rest.

A violent cold wave swept in.

After eating and drinking, Ying thought she was back in a safe place and was not on guard at all.

He was hit directly by a cold wave.

The biting cold wind was like millions of ice blades, cutting through the air and enveloping the traveler's entire body.

Her body trembled violently, her eyes widened instantly, and her lips trembled as she tried to utter a few words, but the cold froze her throat.

The blood quickly drained from his face, turning it as pale as paper. His eyebrows and eyelashes were gradually covered with tiny ice crystals, like the most fragile work of art.

On the side, Paimon felt that he was frozen by the lady again and fell directly from mid-air.

Fortunately, Ying’s strength is still there.

The elemental force was directly mobilized, and rock elements emerged one after another, beginning to dispel the cold current and protect Paimon beside it.

"Hmm? Elemental power... you have this power, but you still do some sneaky things."

As he spoke, the coldness in Shen He's eyes grew even stronger.

I thought he was a thief, but now it seems that he is an evil person with power.

Talismans appeared around her.

She was inside the door and the opponent was outside. It was difficult for her to use her spear skills, but talismans were very convenient.

"The power of the spirit is real, it has hundreds of workers. The goddess has given the order, hurry to the talisman. Shoot!"

In the cold currents, ice-blue talisman spirits emerged and moved close to Ying and Paimeng.

At this moment, outside the poorhouse,
Wang Hao and Keqing, who had just gotten off work, suddenly had a changed look on their faces, and they both noticed the elemental fluctuations in the backyard.

Wang Hao's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

next moment,
He appeared between Lu Ling and Ying.

A little gilded bloom,
The surrounding elemental forces were immediately suppressed.

"Wang Hao, I was beaten!"

Paimon, who had just been frozen and fell to the ground, immediately made a sound of grievance.

Wang Hao's face darkened, and he quickly shifted his attention: "Why are you back?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and the power of order surged, bringing with it a warm force that dispelled Shen He's ice elemental power.

The traces of frost on Ying's body faded away, and she looked at Shen He with some fear: "We are back to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Who is she? Why is she here?"

As she spoke, Ying was still a little angry.

Anyone would be unhappy if they were slapped with coldness in the face when they get home.

"Um, this is Shen He, the disciple of Master Liuyun Jiefeng."

Wang Hao began to introduce.

"Oh, the disciple of the Great Immortal Bird."

Paimon looked as if he understood everything.

Ying's expression also relaxed a little.
She also has a pretty good relationship with Master Liuyun Jiefeng.

"Shen He has been studying with immortals since she was young, and she doesn't care about worldly things, so she came down the mountain to experience the mundane world. I have temporarily arranged for her to stay here."

Looking at Shen He's cold face,

Ying's anger dissipated a little.

"sorry."

At this time, Shen He suddenly spoke.

Ying: "Huh?"

"Master said that if you do something wrong, you should apologize." Shen He said seriously.

But combined with her cold expression, it gives people a sense of contrast.

Shen He's sincere apology made Ying and Paimeng confused.

To be honest, if Shen He's attitude was a little worse, they would continue to be angry.

But Shen Heyi apologized,

Ying and Paimeng felt embarrassed instead.

"This, ah, eh, it's actually all a misunderstanding." Paimon could only wave his hands and say this.

"Just...how are we going to live now?"

She brought the subject to more realistic issues.

How should we live? We can’t live together.

"It's okay. I'm used to the mountains and fields. I can just meditate in the yard for a night."

Shen He said directly.

She didn't care where she lived.

"Ah, how can this be possible?" Paimon shook his head quickly.
It feels like they are kicking people out, which is not good.

"Shen He, you can stay in my room. Wang Hao and I can share a room."

At this time, Keqing also walked in. After she understood, she spoke.

Wang Hao also nodded: "Well, it's decided. Shen He will live in Keqing's room, Ying and Paimeng will stay in their original rooms, and Keqing and I will share a room."

After saying this, he smiled.

"Everyone is happy."

Everyone thought it was good.

There was only a barrage of curses in the comments.

Because Wang Hao turned off the barrage again.
