The "happy" Zhang Ming personally went to the kitchen and made a delicate meal for everyone, and he himself had a full meal.

"The severed head meal has to be chic."

After a full meal, Zhang Ming returned to his room.

In the pale yellow light, he began to clean.

Zhang Ming is a nostalgic person, and he will tidy up his room from time to time to avoid being too sloppy in the room.

The floor, walls, and beams of the room are all made of metasequoia wood from Kamenojima. Two hundred years have passed quietly, and even if the ship is properly maintained, there are still some traces of decay.

The only window was open, and the setting sun that was about to sink into the horizon, the lights on the deck, and the sporadic cold wind blew in through the windows.

As the day ended, a sparse light rain fell from the sky, and the white clouds slowly turned into dark clouds, floating above the rosy sky.

A moth got wet from the grass and flew under the eaves with all its might.

The scales on its wings had been knocked off a lot, and just as it was about to fall, it finally found a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and carefully breathed in the smoke and fire here.

It was really a small ship that had gone through many, many things, and was still working to this day, carrying the life of an indigenous caravan, and the sound of laughter could be heard in the ears.

Happiness is simple and difficult, depending on how much you ask for, and the more you need, the more difficult it may be.

And the objects in the room are also miscellaneous, and they are not taken care of for a period of time, and they are scattered on the table and in the corners.

Zhang Ming suddenly found a very magical little thing in the deepest part of the desk drawer, and when he saw this little thing, his heart seemed to be immersed in a very soft place.

This little thing is made of gold, and even after so many years, it is still alive - a very honest little turtle pendant, with a big head tilted up, as if looking at Zhang Mingna's absurd life.

The baby turtle also had a drawer in its belly with a piece of paper made of gold leaf.

It was the last letter left by my sister, saying that she was going to give the little turtle pendant to her future sister-in-law.

"Life for hundreds of years, like a dream is like a fantasy, prosperity is fleeting, in an instant, fame and fortune are like wind and dust, where is the true self?" Zhang Ming poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all!

This is a liquor purchased from the Wanhai Trading Market, known as the "Three Cups" of Immortals.

The hot and spicy taste came into his throat, and Zhang Ming enlivened his mind to the extreme!

"First of all, I need to determine whether the gourd exists."

There are three answers to this question.

The first is that the gourd does exist, and his old Zhang is simply suspicious.

The fruit of the Garden of Eden, worth tens of millions, is just a big coincidence, a great luck.

He hugged the thigh of the demon god, and he would soon be able to ascend to the sky in one step!

In this cold state of sanity, Zhang Ming only felt this kind of luck mentality, which was a little funny, and he underestimated the demon god.

The second is that there is no gourd at all, everything is just a [long-cherished wish] emotionless play.

As for why he played without loopholes, which made people addicted to it, Zhang Ming could only say "admiration".

There is a third possibility, the "gourd" once existed, but may not exist now, or will not exist.

Hulu's computing power and intelligence capabilities are far inferior to [long-cherished wishes].

There are some unspeakable secrets, which are perfectly normal.

"She may have been created...... A product with a soul. ”

"Or maybe it's really the other side of [long-cherished wishes]."

"She crossed over with the Tree of Eden, the result of a lot of calculations by [the long-cherished wish], probably the original transaction, some rules set by the judgment balance."

"[Long-cherished wish] wants to replace the gourd, it is easier than imagined, especially after arriving at the burial world, the reduction of spatial distance, resulting in this replacement can be completed quietly.

"The stupid gourd may have been suppressed, and now it's time for the final harvest......

Zhang Ming is like a leek in a leek garden, facing the terrible scythe, he suddenly awakens to his self-awareness.

It's good not to think about this situation in front of you, but it's terrifying to think about it.

Zhang Ming is not afraid of death, but he can't die in such a daze.

The tenacious fighting spirit is reviving in the depths of his soul.

"If it's the third possibility, I have to act as soon as possible."

"If you want to use words to find evidence, you really underestimate the other party...... I can only rely on the Demon God Contract. ”

"But if I really tear my face, I can't predict what [Long-cherished Wish] will do......"

"I had to find a little softer entry point to make sure of something."

Zhang Ming recalled the experience along the way after coming to the funeral world, ups and downs, and it seemed that everything was normal.

Miss Hulu has always been smart, gentle, and empathetic, and helped Zhang Ming solve a lot of troubles.

The only unusual act was when she transformed into a red flame, summoned the Judgment Scales, and proclaimed herself the Demon God of Hope.

This...... It's a little weird.

Although it was an expedient move at that time, some old guys were forcing Zhang Ming to eat soft rice, but with Miss Hulu's character, it was indeed a little strange to make such a big fuss......

"Because she has a more serious social phobia, she is not very willing to show herself in front of strangers."

Now, the name of the [Hope] Demon God has spread all over the Sea of Demon Gods, at least most of the higher civilizations already know this name, giving people an inexplicable sense of abruptness.

"It's a means of communication anchoring."

"Popularity is a very weak anchor ......"

Zhang Ming racked his brains and began to consult his past memories in the memory library.

In the next moment, he suddenly found something, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The phrase "I've given you everything" actually appeared twice!

The first time was to transplant the tree of Eden to the balance of judgment, and she said that she would give all this tree to Zhang Ming, and she would take the fruit of Eden in the future without her consent.

This move was a bit strange, but Zhang Ming didn't think much about it at that time.

Now that I think about it, it's getting weirder.

The second time was when I took a small piggy bank and said that I could make money.

She wanted to save all her pocket money and give it to Zhang Ming.

Could this sentence be a hint?

But what is she prompting?

In the quiet twilight, Zhang Ming buried his head in hard thinking, but he couldn't get the result for a long time.

……

[Do you have any special thoughts? I seem to have some mixed feelings today. 】

A nice voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting Zhang Ming's complicated thoughts.

The voice was crisp and lovely, with a hint of softness.

Zhang Ming sighed softly: "When I am older, I will always think of those times in the past, and miss the lively and ordinary life of a long, long time ago." ”

"It's also the twilight of now, when I carry my schoolbag and my classmates home from school, discussing happy and interesting topics on the way, and waving goodbye to them at the end of the road."

Then I pushed open the door of the room and shouted angrily: Mom, I want to eat braised pork!"

"My mother's cooking skills are quite good, it seems that many people's mothers are similar, but her braised pork is particularly memorable to me, it is dark red, the meat is smooth and tender, and it melts in your mouth, which is really wonderful."

"She kept saying that she would pass on this craft to me so that I could find a beautiful daughter-in-law. No matter what era it is placed in, being able to cook and cook is a plus for boys. ”

"So I'm thinking, if you really want to marry a daughter-in-law, do you think it's more important to be beautiful or virtuous?"

Hulu thought for a moment and said, "Of course...... It's all important!! 】

[Beautiful makes people look pleasing to the eye, and virtuous can make life comfortable.] 】

[You can't have both fish and bear's paws, but I think both are important. Different people may have different choices. 】

Zhang Ming drank the "three cups of fairy drunkenness" in the wine glass, and sighed: "People's lives are chasing childhood, even if my childhood is not the perfect one, but it is still happy." Thinking of my mom and my sister, the little expectations they had for me, so my feelings today are very complicated. ”

"Well, we've been together for so long...... I have something nice to give you, would you like to take it? ”

Zhang Ming showed the little turtle pendant in his hand, and said with some pride: "This is a gift left by my sister, let me give it to my future wife." ”

"Now that I've chosen a wife, dear lady Hulu, would you like it?"

His words seemed to scare the other party.

Although, this little turtle pendant is a gift that Miss Hulu has wanted for a long time.

The best gift, there is no one!

She floated in the air and did not react for a long time.

Zhang Ming cleared his throat and said cheekily: "Ahem...... Don't think it's strange that although this is just a ritual and does not involve substantive content, for human beings, ritual is equally important, and it is related to future responsibilities and obligations. ”

The gourd still didn't react, just a faint white mist.

Zhang Ming used an unserious tone again, and said in a low voice: "Instead of spending a lot of money to strengthen myself, go buy that god blood ......"

"It's better to strengthen you, after all, your potential is far greater than mine!"

"So, now while you're weak, hug your thighs tightly, train you into the ultimate demon god, and eat soft rice viciously in the future!"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, so it's a little confusing to think about it...... It's not because of anything else, it's also difficult to make up your mind to hug your thighs. ”

"Of course, more importantly, I don't think there is a better person than you, and I hope that we can always get along well for the rest of the year."

Hulu couldn't help laughing: [Poof...... I can't tell if you're serious, or if you're joking. But I don't think you have to think about this kind of thing, because I'm not going to leave you anyway. 】

"So, dear Lady Gourd, will you accept this gift?"

Zhang Ming felt that he was guilty, and even though he tried his best to control his emotions, he was still so anxious that his body was sweating.

Such a beautiful thing suddenly became a tool for testing!

It's like the male owner of a family suddenly becomes suspicious and wants to take the child for a paternity test.

Even if it is determined that the child is his own, the family relationship is likely to break down.

But it can't be helped, he has to do it!

He had to confirm something!

The air in the room fell silent.

Zhang Ming felt that he had split in two, split into two halves.

A mind is spent in anxiety and distress, in a state of extreme irritability.

The other mind, on the contrary, simulated Miss Hulu's way of thinking with cold reason, trying to observe whether the other party had a reaction that exceeded expectations.

Half a minute later, a white mist came out of the gourd, and his voice trembled slightly: "Hmm... I am very happy to receive this gift and would like to accept it...... But I'm worried that I'm really up to the task. 】

[You know, I'm not human, and sometimes it can seem a little weird......]

[Or maybe I'm a little worried about my image, will you suffer from the gossip in the shadows?] I'm worried about that. 】

This answer seems to be ...... There is nothing wrong with that.

Even from the most demanding angles, it is still the past Miss Hulu, who is empathetic, but smart and cute.

Even the stumbling, with a hint of shyness, was consistent with what was expected.

Zhang Ming didn't dare to be careless, perhaps, he was just simply nervous and suspicious.

Or perhaps, he is facing the greatest fear in the world!

He even controlled his heartbeat and pores, his heart was beating faster than before, and his body temperature and blood circulation were slightly higher than before - or rather, he was very nervous even if he didn't try to control it.

Zhang Ming poured a glass of wine again and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about so many ......"

"I think you can accept this gift in the form of a human being, and I can personally help you put on the little turtle pendant."

"Other people's opinions don't matter, do they? No matter what they say, the world will not change in the slightest. ”

"Actually, no one cares about our business. Shi Mama, Xiaobai, and the old sheep's head should bless us. ”

[Hmm...... You're right. She readily agreed, "You wait for me for a while, I'm going to dress up a little bit." 】

After a while, a beautiful girl wearing a gourd hair ornament appeared on the other side of the table.

Sister No. 1, with delicate facial features, a round goose egg face looks quite sweet, a suitable dress outlines her perfect curves, unpulled green silk flows like satin, a pair of wisdom, the brightest eyes in the world, with a slightly shy smile.

Although he has seen it many times, Zhang Ming still thinks that the No. 1 girl is indeed very good-looking, and she hits her own aesthetics. He's quit "beige sweaters" now — any sweater, he likes.
