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

Chapter 76: The God of War Invites Me to Dinner?

"Greetings, Lord Martial God!" ×2
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen stood up sensibly, cupped their hands in greeting to Zhongli, and looked on with admiration.

This Martial God, just as their grandfather said, was a very easy-going "person," and looked like a dignified yet polite older brother.

Meng Hongchen's eyes sparkled, and tears streamed down her face.

So handsome, so incredibly handsome!

This was the first time in her life she had ever seen someone so handsome.

No, it should be described as handsome.

Zhongli glanced at Xiao Hongchen. This young man seemed to be a lively person, but he also had a sharp edge that kept strangers at bay.

He's probably the goofy, annoying type when it comes to friends.

He's just like a husky when it comes to strangers—aloof and aloof, but secretly it's all eager to get closer.

After sizing up Xiao Hongchen, Zhongli then looked at Meng Hongchen, who had long white hair draped over her shoulders and red eyes staring at him expectantly.

"Hmm...this girl is extraordinary..."

Zhong Li sighed inwardly, but did not say it aloud.

This wasn't Teyvat, and he didn't have any extra "glass beads" on him; otherwise, he would definitely have given this girl a "glass bead."

"Please have a seat, my two young friends."

Zhongli waved to the brother and sister, gesturing for them to sit down, before continuing, "You've come from afar, so please don't stand on ceremony. Liyue welcomes all friendly friends."

"If you come to Liyue, you can treat this place as your second home. I am just a part of Liyue."

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes.

Zhongli can be humble, low-key, and even not consider himself a god.

But how could these weak, pitiful, and helpless "ordinary people" possibly treat Zhongli as an ordinary person when they knew he was a god?

"Yes, Lord Martial God!"

Zhongli: "..."

He understood why everyone was so reserved; it was normal.

Just like the young Runtu, who was good friends with the landlord's foolish son when he was young, but when they met again decades later, he addressed the other as "Master".

This shows that they understood the difference in status and dared not overstep their bounds.

I am filled with emotion, but have no solution.

That's it.

Zhongli's kindness raised a question in everyone's mind: what exactly did Tang San do to anger this God of War?
It's worth noting that this Martial God had let Tang San off the hook once back at Shrek Academy, but unexpectedly, he angered him again and ended up getting crushed.

"There aren't many people from Shrek Academy who are mentally sound."

"I heard that the God of War went to Shrek Academy these past few days and caused quite a stir. I wonder what he was doing there."

Although they had doubts, they knew what they should and shouldn't ask, so they remained silent.

After chatting for a while, Zhongli seemed to have thought of something and said, "Since you all have no place to stay in Liyue, why don't you stay at my residence for the time being?"

There are currently no residential houses in Liyue, so it would be a real disrespect to Jing Hongchen and the others to stay in a hotel.

They came to help Liyue with good intentions, how can you treat them so lightly?

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen and the others exchanged glances, somewhat surprised but also delighted.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of living under the same roof as the God of War!

They didn't have a place to stay in Liyue and were planning to stay at a hotel, but they didn't expect to receive such an invitation!
Meng Hongchen blinked frantically at Jing Hongchen, which convinced the old man to agree.

She wanted to see Zhongli more; just looking at Zhongli made her feel happy!
Girls looking at handsome guys is the same as guys looking at beautiful girls; both will feel happy, of course, assuming no other thoughts.

Upon seeing this, Jing Hongchen's eye twitched, as if he were deep in thought.

If it were... "Hiss~"

He dared not even think about it, after all, someone like Zhongli was beyond the reach of ordinary mortals like them.

"let it go."

Jing Hongchen thought to himself, but remained outwardly calm, saying, "Thank you, Martial God. We will take our leave now!"

Seeing that Jing Hongchen had agreed, Meng Hongchen narrowed her eyes, like a little fox who had succeeded in her scheme.

"So good."

After saying this, Zhongli stood up and said, "Since you have come from afar, let me do my duty as a host and have a simple meal with you all."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hongchen and the others were stunned, and then their eyes widened in surprise!

The God of War is treating us to dinner?
"Hi~"

Everyone gasped. If someone else had invited them to dinner, they might have been dismissive, given their status and position.

But this is God!
"Okay...okay, thank you, God of War!"

There's absolutely no reason to refuse!

They came to Liyue because they wanted to get closer to this god, so how could they possibly refuse?
Soon, the group left Zhongli Mansion and headed to the food street.

Along the way, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ju Zi all looked around curiously.

Unlike Mingdu, where Soul Guidance Technology is prevalent, Liyue is a collection of antique buildings with a unique charm.

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen grew up in Mingdu, so they were naturally very interested in this architectural complex.

As for Orange, she was observing other things, not just simply looking at the buildings and bustling streets.

In Liyue, there are very few people who don't know Zhongli, especially the residents of Liyue, who look at Zhongli with fervent and sincere eyes.

"Greetings, Lord Martial God!"

"Good afternoon, Lord Martial God!"

Zhongli would politely respond to the residents' greetings.

At this moment, a little girl ran out from the crowd. She was no more than three feet tall. She looked up at Zhongli.

"Big brother, God of War, give me a hug!"

The little girl raised her hands, looking at Zhongli expectantly.

Upon seeing this, a mother broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stepped out of the crowd to take the little girl away.

Zhongli looked down at the little girl, who had short, silver-white hair and was quite adorable.

"Lord Martial God, I'm sorry..."

The mother had just stepped out of the crowd and hadn't even finished speaking when Zhongli squatted down and picked up the little girl. It all happened so naturally, without any acting involved.

"well??"

Everyone was taken aback. They knew Zhongli was very easygoing, but they didn't expect him to be even more easygoing than they had imagined!
"Can you tell me your name, big brother?"

Zhongli asked the little girl with a slight smile.

Zhongli actually knew about the little girl's family situation; for Zhongli, this land held no secrets.

They were not residents of Shrek City, but rather a fishing family from the East China Sea.

Their family came to Liyue when it was first built.

"Big brother Martial God, my name is Ningguang!"

The hand holding Xiao Ningguang trembled slightly.

Looking at Xiao Ningguang again, she really did resemble an old friend.
