Chapter 8: The Path to Competence
The winter sun, although not warm, can dispel the gloom.
The sun illuminates the entire Fujiwara-kyo, and the city slowly recovers from the darkness and begins to come alive as it has been for more than a decade.
The sunlight shone into the Fujiwara Imperial Palace, which made the palace feel like a shadow a little more lively.
Palace North Garden. The palace where love dwells
Love slowly opened her eyes, and her white and tender little hands reached the corners of her eyes.
(Knead ~ Knead ~)
Rubbed her sleepy eyes, which were still a little worried, she bred herself up, tidied up her long hair, got up and put on the weird shoes that Shang Yang gave her, which seemed to be called cotton slippers, well, although they looked weird, but they were much more comfortable to wear than clogs or something, and you didn't have to wear socks or something like clogs. β
Stretch your jade feet into the cotton shoes, and the warm feeling makes the mood of love warm. It's been a long time since anyone cared about me.
Standing up and leaving the bed, the cold of early spring made Ai shiver. She slowly walked to the magical mirror that Shang Yang had given her, sat on a stool and began to comb herself in front of the mirror.
Ever since I met Shang Yang, I have begun to become a little fond of dressing up.
Thinking like this, Ai's hand movements did not stop, and he carefully combed his long hair with a peach wood comb. The fourteen-year-old hasn't thought much about it, and after discovering that she has become fond of dressing up, she has begun to spend more time grooming herself than before.
The long, inky black hair is smoothed by the comb and draped over the shoulders of love.
I don't like to coil my hair, because it's very troublesome, and I have recently added a reason, that is, I love to hear Shang Yang say that he looks the most beautiful.
After combing his hair, he looked at himself in the mirror and smiled happily.
Knowing Shang Yang for a month, the mood of love has been very good, Shang Yang will take her out of the palace almost every day to play, although every time I am a little embarrassed to be carried out like that, but sure enough, the feeling of freedom to leave the palace obviously makes love more excited.
Love knows that Shang Yang likes himself, and Shang Yang himself said it to Love, although Love doesn't really understand what "like" is now.
Thinking of the two days ago, when Shang Yang took himself out, Shang Yang made some awkward confessions, and love couldn't help but laugh out loud.
But Ai never asked Shang Yang if she could take her out of the palace, Ai is a considerate and contented girl, as long as someone can remember her and come to see her from time to time, she will be very satisfied, not to mention that Shang Yang is doing much better.
Love also found that Shang Yang is not idle every day, he sometimes leaves a letter in his room, telling himself that he is leaving, he can't take her out today, love will not ask Shang Yang what to do, she just thinks that when Shang Yang has her own business, what she should do is to take care of herself, this is what she heard from the palace people, and the wife should not take the initiative to let her husband worry.
Anyway, when Shang Yang and her were in Luoyang Heaven, he had already promised that he would not leave his own, didn't he?
If it is said that when Ai and Shang Yang met for the first time, Ai felt that as long as Shang Yang could take him out of this palace, he would not have any such thoughts as Shang Yang's wife and concubine.
So now love is to be able to be the wife and concubine of the merchant sheep and strive to know what it should be like to be a wife and concubine.
She loves to be with Shang Yang, she likes this kind of life, and she likes the feeling of being remembered by Shang Yang.
If Shang Yang can take her away, she hopes that the two of them can go to Datang together, or anywhere.
Moreover, it is best that Shang Yang can let me be his wife, and he doesn't want to be a concubine.
Thinking of this, Ai couldn't help but blush a little.
The day after the two returned from Datang last month, when Ai woke up, she found that she was being held by Shang Yang and sleeping on her bed, and her outer clothes were also taken off, leaving only the single clothes inside.
Aiichi almost died of shame when she found out that she had slept with a man. So, the day was spent in the chicken, fly, and dog jump.
But this has also caused love to feel that it is indifferent to Shang Yang since then.
Of course, I'll sue you that this is a conspiracy of Shang Yang. (laughs.)
Shaking his head, he stopped his cranky thoughts, put down his comb, stood up, turned around, and saw the food box on the table at a glance.
That is Shang Yang will prepare for himself every day, since that day Shang Yang in order to apologize to himself (2) brought some dishes that he had never seen before, let himself eat a fine meal, no matter when he woke up in the morning, this food box was placed on the table properly
And the strange thing is that no matter when you love to eat, the food inside is always hot.
Love feels the warmth of his heart.
She turned her face to look at her bed.
The sheet when I slept with Shang Yang that night, love never changed it.
FUJIWARA KYYO. Shang's Restaurant
It is a three-storey wooden restaurant, and the plaque on the front reads the word "Shang's" in official script.
Opened a month ago, the restaurant conquered the palate of Fujiwara-kyo in just one month with an endless stream of new dishes, and it was not only a restaurant for the aristocracy but also for the middle and lower classes, although I don't know how the owner of the restaurant persuaded the nobles and those who saw it as untouchables to dine in a restaurant, but because of this, the restaurant was full of diners every day.
In a single room on the third floor, Shang Yang sat alone in his position, with various dishes in front of him.
Of course, in this era, there are dishes that cannot be made with raw materials for the time being, and some of them use substitutes, and some cannot be made.
No need to ask, the behind-the-scenes boss of this restaurant is Shang Yang.
Since Shang Yang arrived in this era, Shang Yang found that there were no other types of dishes in this era except for roasting or stewing.
How can this be endured?! As a member of the big food country, it is too tragic to be unable to satisfy your appetite.
Fortunately, Shang Yang also has a lot of research on dishes, as long as he says the general idea, the chefs recruited at the bottom will tinker with it themselves, and during this time, some relatively simple dishes have been successfully studied.
In addition to satisfying his appetite by Shang Yang, there is also a reason for love.
Love is not valued in the palace, so you can imagine what kind of food is delivered to love. And it's not healthy to eat those single foods all day long.
Shang Yang didn't want to leave with love, in fact, he had already wanted to.
Recently, when he went to look for love, when he saw Love's cute smiling face full of smiles, Shang Yangjun couldn't help but think of the girl in the anime who lived alone in the mountains for six years, but every time she would smile at the arrival of Shibata Sentaro.
Although every time I think of this scene, Shang Yang's first reaction is.
Sentaro, you bastard, I've ruined you!
However, we still have to face the practical problems ahead.
The name of this question is simple.
It's called longevity.
Love is human.
It is a human who can only live up to 140 years old.
Although Shang Yang can guarantee that he can protect and love this life.
But he also knew clearly that he couldn't bear the old death of love.
Although it is not impossible, for example, he is confident that he can awaken his ability in a few years and obtain causal particles, and then he can make love an inhuman thing, whether it is to become a monster or let Miss Lord God eliminate the fruit of love's "death", it is not a problem.
But the most important thing is the will to love.
Forget it, let's talk about it then, if Ai-chan hesitates, use force to make her our person, cough cough non-human things, we don't hesitate to do anything!
Touching his chin, Shang Yang made such a decision.
If you really can't do it, go find a vampire and cooperate with her to act in a scene, so that love can be bitten.
Shang Yang began to conceive of an undisciplined approach.
As for why it's "her", nonsense, don't let the vampire girl bite, let the male vampire bite, don't talk about me as the protagonist, even the author should be destroyed by the reader.
And once you accept the setting of vampire Enma love...... Ahem.
After coughing dryly, Shang Yang retracted his idea of starting to run the train again.
"But at the end of the day, whether it's a causal particle or a vampire girl, it has to be ability...... Lord Shensan, why can't I feel any power yet? β
Shang Yang began to ask Miss Lord.
[Bastard, just think of me now!] ]
Not surprisingly, Miss Lord God was full of anger.
"Don't mind, don't mind, don't you want to accompany Ai-chan in the last few days, don't you also care about me and Ai-chan."
[Phew......]
Miss Lord God took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, though she didn't know where she was breathing.
[No Road Race!] Who cares about you bastard! Listen up! It's not your problem now, the reason why the ability hasn't yet appeared is probably because of your body, the Origin Heavenly Demon! ]
"Tsundere."
[Bastard!] Now is not the time to care about my tsundere! ]
Miss Lord God was so angry that Shang Yang could think of her teeth and claws.
[The important thing now is that it is likely that the talent of the Origin Heavenly Demon itself is too powerful, so it is not easy for your ability to appear, isn't there such a thing?] The higher the talent, the more difficult it is to develop. ]
"Hey, hey, what's going on now?"
[As long as this and so ...... Bastard! Sinai! Don't take me down the wrong path! ]
Miss Lord God is angry MAX.
[Give me some attention!] Now there is an absolutely feasible method, that is, you need to enter the realm of death, as long as your body enters the realm of death, the survival potential of the Origin Heavenly Demon will explode, and it will naturally show its due ability! ]
[So, give me a chance to die!] Better be hacked to death, you bastard......]
"Hey, hey, hey! This is not scientific, the Lord God Sang! The explosion of survival potential is an explosion, but I'm already dead, hey! β
Shang Yang immediately complained about Miss Lord.
[Rest assured, you are a monster, with a high level of immortality (3) Even if your soul is broken, it will take more time for you to recover, and if you die, I will die as one with you, so I won't harm myself!] ]
"High immortality? What's that? Anyway, why do you know I have, I don't even know myself. β
Shang Yang captured the keyword.
[A kind of immortality, immortality is a characteristic of life itself, simply put, it is the characteristic of life that has been harmed by what Cheng dΓΉ does not die.] ]
Miss Lord God was a little impatient, but she explained seriously.
[As for why I would know, of course I tested it in some way.] ]
ββ¦β¦ I still don't want to ask you what method you use. β
After saying it with some embarrassment, Shang Yang also fell into thought, and he touched his chin.
"Well, I have a good idea. Lord God Sang, have you watched "Mythology"? β
[What's the ending?] I don't know if it's a good ending or a bad ending!] Playing Concubine Li is not beautiful at all, is it good. ]
Miss Lord's tone was full of disdain.
"No, no, I don't like the TV series version either, I'm talking about the movie ......"
Shang Yang complained with difficulty.
[β¦β¦ That's why blindly following something is the most boring. β£]
Miss Lord God was helpless.
"But it's a bit of a two, though."
[2. You still come to this trick......]
Just when Shang Yang and Miss Lord God complained to each other like this.
on the timeline
An invisible force has descended on this era of birds against the timeline.
It has almost no fluctuations, it follows "fate", it is the only means of "fate".
"World Correction Power"
The enemy of Shang Yang, the enemy of the Lord God.
It's coming.
PS: (1) If you think that Shang Yang is just a cotton shoe sent by caring for love, I can only say that your too young, too simple Tucson is broken. Now I send cotton shoes, in order to lay the foundation for sending love black silk or something in the future, or sailor clothes or something. (Dirt.)
(2) refers to the fact that Shang Yang hugged love for a night. Another: I also want to hug Ai-chan~~~~ Mu Q~!
(3) For immortality, please refer to the plot analysis in the related works for details.
(4) refers to the fact that since the movie version of "Myth" Uncle Jackie Chan picked a bunch of them, many movies have also complained about similar plots, and it also shows that Shang Yang Zhun Ben also picked a bunch of them, and then (pretended) to be hacked to death with a knife.
