"Perhaps this deity is an interesting and lovely one," Qu Liufeng laughed, "Let’s go, let’s go in and worship this deity. Since we’ve been allowed to land, surely we’re allowed to enter."
Qu Ruiqing nodded and walked in with Qu Liufeng.
After entering the gate, both of them were stunned.
The inside and outside felt like two completely different worlds.
Outside was desolate, quiet, without a trace of human presence.
But inside, it was brightly lit, and there was an exotic aroma of food. It was so alluring that Qu Ruiqing couldn’t help but swallow.
"Welcome, two guests, please come this way." Suddenly, a pleasant male voice rang in their ears.
Following the voice, Qu Ruiqing saw an exceptionally handsome man standing to the side. The clothes he was wearing, were those... were those called Tang clothing, lost in the river of history? This person looked really good in them, appearing tall and slender, with an inexplicable charm. It’s something you can’t see in people nowadays.
"Are you the deity?" Qu Liufeng flew over and stopped in front of the man.
"No, I’m just a clerk in the shop. My name is Dong Xiao. Please, this way. The Boss has been waiting for you for a long time." Dong Xiao gestured, guiding the two inside.
Following Dong Xiao, Qu Ruiqing and Qu Liufeng walked a bit further in and finally understood where that exotic aroma was coming from.
In the center of the hall was a beautiful woman, currently enjoying a hotpot. She was picking up a slice of fatty beef and placing it in the dipping sauce bowl.
Seeing the duo appear, Tianmiao looked up at them and smiled, "Guests, welcome. I sell any wish here, but you can only buy one. As long as you can afford the price."
"Selling wishes? Any wish at all?" Qu Liufeng asked.
"Indeed. Anything at all," Tianmiao smiled, then ate the slice of beef and continued dipping another.
"You, you are the deity? The one recorded by our ancestors?" Qu Ruiqing couldn’t help but ask, feeling that this deity seemed a bit different.
"You look a lot like Zhou Chaoyang, even your temperament," Tianmiao said calmly while cooking the beef, silently counting how many seconds she had done so.
"Ancestor Zhou..." Qu Ruiqing murmured in repetition.
"All had hearts full of sunshine," Tianmiao looked up, smiled at Qu Ruiqing, and said, "Sit down, would you like green tea, fruit tea, or a beverage?"
"I..." Qu Ruiqing hesitated for a moment, "I have a lot I want to ask you."
"Sit down and ask," Tianmiao gestured.
Qu Ruiqing sat down, and Dong Xiao brought her a drink.
"What about me?" Qu Liufeng asked.
"Oil for you?" Dong Xiao asked.
"Better not," Qu Liufeng shyly declined, remembering he was a robot.
After eating another slice of beef, Tianmiao contentedly squinted her eyes, then waved her hand, and the hotpot, bowls, chopsticks, and ingredients disappeared.
Qu Ruiqing stared wide-eyed in shock, somewhat doubting whether her eyes were playing tricks on her.
"It’s impolite to eat while talking with guests. Let’s finish our conversation before I continue eating," Tianmiao smiled.
"Actually, I wanted to eat too, but..." Qu Liufeng mumbled to the side. But robots can’t eat.
Qu Ruiqing, not in the mood to eat, had finally met the legendary deity, and she had a lot she wanted to ask.
"Deity... what kind of person was my ancestor?" Qu Ruiqing was very curious about Qu Fengbai and Zhou Chaoyang, who had saved humanity.
