Liyue Harbor
After Cloud Retainer left, Shenhe walked to the edge of the summit of Mt. Tianheng and looked down at Liyue Harbor below.
Because it was now approaching dusk, Liyue Harbor was already alight with the lamps of a thousand homes, giving it a very lively, worldly atmosphere.
Watching this scene from the mountain, Shenhe couldn't help but be lost in thought, remembering many things from her past.
Ever since she began following Cloud Retainer, she hadn't entered the mortal world for a very long time. Especially after learning of her father's death, her last bit of attachment to the mortal world had all but vanished.
Let's go down and take a look.
After gazing for a long while, Shenhe averted her eyes and decided not to dwell on it, starting to walk along the path down the mountain.
Since both the Lord and her Master wished for her to go down and have a look, she would go down and have a look.
Liyue Harbor.
"Take a look, have a see!"
"Ma'am, how about this one?"
"I want this one, I only want this one!"
...
"Hey, who's bumping into me without looking?"
"Who's pushing me?"
...
Walking silently alone through the bustling Liyue Harbor, the lively scene around her made Shenhe feel a bit out of place.
On a normal day, it was considered a lot if she saw even a few people, but now she was completely surrounded by them.
People selling things, people buying things, and all sorts of people coming and going from every direction, it could be said there were a great many.
Shenhe didn't know if it was always this crowded at night, or if there were even more people during the day. She didn't know the answer to that question.
Growl—
As she looked around, a somewhat embarrassing sound suddenly rang out.
I should buy something to eat.
Looking down at her stomach, Shenhe decided to go buy something to eat.
But just as she lifted her head and looked around, searching for a place to eat, she suddenly saw a familiar figure flash through the crowd.
That's...
That girl?!
Looking at the bustling crowd in the distance, Shenhe's face was filled with astonishment. She hadn't expected to meet that girl here again—the one whose identity even the Lord was unwilling to reveal.
She even wondered if she was hallucinating.
I have to see!
For some reason, she felt she had to go and see.
Although, based on the conversation she just had with her Master and the Lord, she shouldn't approach that girl, but perhaps because that girl had once appeared in the abode, she felt she needed to ask clearly what exactly she had done in her Master's abode.
Then, the astonished expression vanished from Shenhe's face, and she ran directly towards the place where the girl had just appeared.
Because there were so many people nearby, Shenhe had no choice but to push some of them aside to get through. This, however, drew a wave of displeasure from those she pushed, but Shenhe couldn't be bothered with that now.
Afterward, Shenhe turned a corner and came to a street with fewer people.
She's gone...
Has she already left?
Looking around, Shenhe couldn't find the girl.
But just then, a fragrant aroma suddenly wafted over, causing Shenhe to subconsciously look towards where the scent was coming from.
A noodle shop?
After getting a clear look, Shenhe saw that the source of the aroma was a noodle shop, which reminded her of the bowl of noodles she used to eat at home.
Although the smell was different, Shenhe still walked towards the noodle shop.
Her stomach was hungry anyway, so she might as well go try the noodles at that shop.
As for that girl, she must have left already.
Thinking this, Shenhe arrived at the entrance of the noodle shop.
But just as she was about to step inside, someone walking out from within made her freeze, and then take several steps back in succession.
"Are you here for noodles, too?"
While Shenhe was still surprised and on guard, the person who had walked out of the noodle shop spoke.
How is she here??NOINPUT_TEXT_How is she here???
Looking at the girl who had suddenly appeared before her, this question couldn't help but surface in Shenhe's mind.
What puzzled her even more was that the girl was now carrying what looked like takeout food in both hands, which appeared to be the noodle dishes sold at this shop.
This...
What's going on?
Honestly, at this moment, Shenhe didn't quite know how to react.
A being like that...
...would actually get takeout to eat at home like a normal girl?
The girl appearing before her now seemed impossible to connect with the one the Lord had spoken of not long ago.
In other words, the contrast was just too great. It was like seeing the Lord being stopped at a doorway, unable to leave because he couldn't pay his bill.
Of course, a situation like that would never happen to the Lord; it was just that the current event made her think of something so absurd.
"This noodle shop is pretty good. you can go in and give it a try."
While Shenhe was still in a daze, the girl said this.
