Reincarnated Rock Prince, you're saying this is Douluo Continent?

Chapter 31: Greetings, Lord Martial God!
Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao were stunned when they saw the gold soul coins in front of them.

This amount is not much for nobles, but it is a considerable fortune for Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao.

One hundred gold soul coins!
"Lord Yuhengxing, we cannot accept this money without having done anything in return."

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and said with a determined look.

I just arrived in Liyue and already received sponsorship?
Is it simply because of his background?
"Yes, we've only just arrived in Liyue, and you're already like this..."

Tang Ya was also a little confused and declined.

At Shrek Academy, she was admitted without taking the entrance exam simply through a quota from the Tang Sect.

The source of their money was entirely through part-time work; Shrek Academy did not provide any support whatsoever.

This Yuheng Star sponsored 100 gold soul coins right off the bat. Although it wasn't particularly generous, it gave people a... indescribable sense of goodwill.

Huo Yuhao was deeply moved. No one had ever given him such direct and profound love before, which he found hard to accept for a while.

"Please accept this, my two young friends. I cannot help you with your cultivation, but I can provide some basic necessities for your lives."

"Please cultivate diligently. If you can make some contribution to Liyue in the future, that will be the best way to repay me."

At this point, Yuhengxing adjusted his glasses and continued, "By the way, if you encounter any difficulties, you can apply for subsidies. Liyue will provide corresponding subsidies based on your actual situation."

Hearing this, Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao were even more confused.

Can I apply for subsidies?
Upon hearing this, Beibei trembled and glanced at Yuheng Star in astonishment.

He understood why Yuheng Star sponsored Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya, but not him.

It's very simple; his name, Beibei, is quite well-known in Shrek City.

Furthermore, given that his martial soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, giving him any real assistance would only make this Yuheng Star seem hypocritical.

Yuheng Star did not do that; instead, it only helped those who needed it.

"Commoner" Soul Master Applying for Subsidies?
What an ancient word! Only he, as Mu En's great-grandson, had any understanding of it.

Ten thousand years ago, commoner Soul Masters only needed to register their Soul Master status with the Spirit Hall to receive a corresponding Soul Master subsidy every month.

This subsidy was not discontinued until the fall of the Spirit Empire...

In Liyue, not only Soul Masters can apply for subsidies, but ordinary people can as well. As long as the conditions are met, subsidies will be issued.

"This Martial God is either genuinely kind-hearted, or he has grand ambitions!"

Beibei's pupils contracted, and she thought to herself.

After a long pause, he ultimately leaned more towards the former.

Judging from what Shrek Academy has experienced, Lord Martial God has a kind heart towards ordinary people... no, I should say towards humanity.

If it were any other god who had been provoked like that by Xuanzi, Yan Shaozhe, Xian Lin'er, and others, Shrek Academy would probably have been wiped out.

But this one was different. Although he destroyed Shrek Academy in his anger, he only killed Xuanzi and others, without harming the innocent.

"Alright, take your property deeds, identification documents, and gold soul coins and leave. I still have a lot of documents to process."

"Xiao He, take them to choose a place to live and register it on the property certificate."

The current property certificate is empty; a site needs to be selected and registered before it can be reported to Yuheng Star.

"Yes, Lord Yuheng!"

The staff member replied and then led the three still in a daze out of the office.

"Here, these are your identification documents. Make sure you keep them safe."

He handed the three people their identification documents, and then handed two cloth bags to Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya respectively.

"This is a small donation from Lord Yuheng Star, which can also be called an investment by a merchant. Please accept it."

Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, and in the end, they accepted the gold soul coins.

"Investment by businessmen?"

Why did they feel a warm feeling in their hearts even though they knew it was an "investment"? Not long after, the three of them chose a house that was next to each other, and the staff member, Xiao He, left with a backup of the property certificate.

The three sat in Tang Ya's courtyard, facing the sea, but remained silent.

What they saw and heard today has truly shattered their understanding of things over the years, and they will need a lot of time to process it.

Suddenly, a voice rang out, startling the three of them. The voice was indeed somewhat familiar.

"What a pity, Zhongli, you don't like seafood, otherwise we could have a seafood feast every day!"

"Sticky stuff, I doubt many people would like to eat it, right?"

Two figures walked along the beach, coming into view of Huo Yuhao and his companions.

These two figures were none other than Zhongli and Paimeng, who were "doing nothing".

"No, that's not true at all. I often eat seafood when I'm with travelers!"

"There's grilled sea fish, giant octopus, and shellfish..."

Zhong Li's eyes twitched slightly, and he felt a slight churning in his stomach.

These sticky things on the skin...

"Paymon, if you like seafood, you can buy it."

"But I refuse to eat these foods."

Zhongli waved his hand and said.

What food people eat is their own business, and he has no right to interfere.

But there are things he refuses to eat, and he won't eat them no matter what you say.

Suddenly, Zhongli seemed to sense something, frowned, and turned slightly to look in the direction of Huo Yuhao and the others.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Paimon is really getting a seafood feast?"

Paimon looked at Zhongli with a delighted expression and said.

Seeing that Zhongli was looking in a certain direction and did not reply to her for the time being, Paimeng looked in the direction Zhongli was looking.

"Hey, aren't these the young man and woman I met in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Upon seeing Zhongli's gaze, Huo Yuhao and the other two were startled, their minds going blank, and they were momentarily at a loss for words.

Especially Bei Bei and Tang Ya, when they first met Zhong Li, they thought this Martial God was a Soul Master with no future... Yes, just the title of Soul Master, not the profession.

To my utter surprise, this was actually a god, and a very powerful one at that!
Huo Yuhao was also filled with mixed emotions.

To the astonishment of the three, Zhongli led Paimon outside the courtyard.

"My three young friends, it's been a long time."

Zhongli said with a slight smile that he was not here because of the saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate the poor youth".

Instead, it's simply a matter of saying it's been a long time since we last met, as if we were greeting a familiar person.

His words remained calm and composed, devoid of any negative emotions.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao and the other two were slightly taken aback, looking somewhat bewildered.

They didn't know Zhongli's strength, fine, but even after they did, he still addressed them as "young friends," without changing his address.

But he could never bring himself to say "Brother Zhongli" again.

"Greetings, Lord Martial God!"

The three of them quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and said.
