Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 72: The first day without Chi Yu, I miss her!

"Zhongli, Zhongli, wake up!"

Paimon nudged the "sleeping" Zhongli. With her fighting strength of less than half a wild boar, how could she possibly move the Rock King Emperor?

Although he couldn't push it, Paimon's voice made Zhong Li open his eyes with some helplessness.

Don't let his youthful appearance fool you; he's actually a "person" who's several thousand years old!

Only Paimon feels no guilt about disturbing the rest of "elderly" people.

Perhaps, in her heart, Zhongli is never old?

I looked at the light outside the window; it was only a little past five o'clock.

"Zhongli, Xiaochiyu has gone to school, and no one is buying us breakfast. Let's go out to eat!"

Seeing Zhongli "wake up," Paimon rubbed his hands together and said with an expectant look.

Before Chiyu started school, she would buy breakfast and such, so she could eat as soon as she woke up.

But now Chi Yu is not here!

This made Paimon somewhat uncomfortable.

Paimon: The first day without Chiyu, I miss her!

After a moment's thought, Zhong Li stood up, nodded, and said, "Okay, Paimon."

For Zhongli, sleeping is more in line with his current identity as a "mortal".

For Morax, sleeping?

I can go for years without taking a break without any problem at all.

He is neither a demon god nor the Geo Archon of Liyue.

Right now, he is merely a "mortal" named Zhong Li.

Since we are "ordinary people", we should adapt to the life of ordinary people.

Not to mention Paimon was a little unaccustomed to it; he was also a little unaccustomed to it without Xiao Chiyu.

Having spent quite some time in Tiandou City, Zhong Li had practically figured out where to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and which restaurants had the best food.

The two arrived at a steamed bun shop in the west of the city. Because it was so early, the shop was rather deserted.

The shop owner showed no fear upon seeing Zhong Li and Paimon.

What were the two like when they first arrived in Tiandou City?

Even after their identities are "exposed," they remain the same.

Furthermore, Zhongli and Paimon were frequent visitors to his home!

If Zhongli and Paimeng hadn't been eating steamed buns here so often, his little shop would never have been as successful as it is now!

"Your Majesty Zhongli, good morning, Paimon!"

What are we planning to eat today?

The shop owner walked up with a smile and asked.

He was very grateful to Zhongli and Paimon and didn't want to accept the money, but Zhongli always paid, even when he didn't have any money on him...

Not having cash doesn't mean you can't pay.

"Boss, I want soup dumplings!"

Paimon said with a happy expression.

This restaurant's soup dumplings are the best in the entire Tiandou City.

"No problem, one basket of soup dumplings!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Li also chose soup dumplings.

Soup dumplings are the specialty of this restaurant, and they're the only truly delicious item there.

Eating is like tasting something; of course, you eat what tastes good.

While Zhongli and Paimeng were enjoying their meal, several people entered Tiandou City through the east gate.

"We've finally arrived!"

The girl rubbed her calves and murmured something alluringly.

Her face was filled with exhaustion, which made the red-haired young man beside her feel sorry for her.

God knows what they've been through these past few days.

At a normal travel speed, it would take about a month to travel from the Spirit Hall to Heaven Dou City.

They completed a month's worth of travel in just over a week!

They traveled at full speed almost the entire way, with very little rest, which is how they accomplished this feat.

Although they are Soul Masters, they are finding it hard to endure such intense travel!

"You all go and rest at the Spirit Temple first. I will investigate the deeds and whereabouts of this powerful figure."

The old man's voice wasn't very pleasant; it sounded just like a male duck's quack.

The group consisted of Hu Liena, Yan, and Xie Yue, who had set off from the Spirit Hall and arrived at Yue Pass in Heaven Dou City with a mission.

After saying this, Yue Guan disappeared from the spot, leaving Hu Liena and the other two looking at each other in bewilderment.

For a titled Douluo, this distance is nothing. If it weren't for these three burdens, he would have reached his destination long ago.

After a moment of silence, Hu Liena spoke up, "Let's listen to Elder Ju and go rest first."

In their current state, they are unable to complete the task assigned by the Pope, so they might as well take a good rest first.

Besides, one person can investigate Zhong Li's whereabouts.

The three of them can't be of much help anyway, so they might as well focus on resting and recovering.

"Okay, Nana."

Although Xie Yue is the leader of a three-person team, who has the most influence in the team?

Of course it's Hu Liena!

Without any hesitation, the three headed towards the Martial Soul Temple of Heaven Dou City.

They had been to Heaven Dou City before, so they naturally knew where the Martial Soul Temple was.

As noon approached, while Hu Liena and the others were "sound asleep," Yue Guan was completely bewildered.

I thought Zhongli's whereabouts would be difficult to track, after all, he is a Title Douluo, so it is normal for his whereabouts to be elusive.

To Yue Guan's surprise, Zhong Li's whereabouts were not a secret in Tian Dou City.

Any two random passersby would know where he is.

"???"

really?

"It's noon now. If they haven't lied to me and nothing unexpected has happened, then Zhongli should be at the Qibao Hotel by now..."

Yue Guan's eye twitched, and he murmured.

What a clever way to find out someone's whereabouts by checking the time!

What left Yue Guan speechless was that the Spirit Temple's records contained the same information...

This titled Douluo is quite unique; he seems to have planned out what he'll do every day.

Looking closely at Zhongli's day, Yue Guan suddenly felt a pang of envy.

He's already in his seventies or eighties, yet he's still working tirelessly for the Spirit Hall.

Look at the life Zhongli lives, and then look at the life he lives. They are both titled Douluo, so why is there such a big difference?

"Sigh~"

Yue Guan sighed and then walked towards the Martial Soul Temple, waiting for Hu Liena and the other two to wake up.

These past few days, the little ones have been exhausted.

This is using soul power to travel at full speed! To be able to persevere with such high-intensity travel shows their strong will.

Time flew by, and before we knew it, it was afternoon of the next day.

At this moment, in a teahouse, Zhong Li sat in a corner, listening to the "poet" on stage express his emotions and his works.

Paimon sat to the side, also drinking tea and listening to poetry.

Spending too much time with Zhongli, she found herself seemingly "falling" as well.

We can explore the areas ahead in our next life!

"Your Majesty Zhongli, do you think there's anything I could improve in my recitation?"

In the Douluo Continent, there is more than just the Soul Master profession; the Soul Master is merely the most noble profession.

They still have other professions.

Poets, writers, and other professions are also very popular among ordinary people.

Over time, everyone learned about Zhongli's preferences, and he was very approachable and willing to communicate with people of any status.

This is why the poet came to seek his advice...
