Ark's Journey to the Demon God

Can't hold on any longer?

But he never opens his mouth, which is not a problem.In the past, he felt that he and Nian were both divine individuals, and their lifespans would be very long, so there was no need to establish a romantic relationship so quickly.But now that seven years have passed, Shen Muke can no longer hold back any longer. He desperately wants an answer, even if the answer is unsatisfactory.

(To be honest, Shen Muke's love quotient was indeed negative. He didn't even think about it. How could he let Nian stay with him for seven years? It couldn't really be because of the hot pot he made, right?)

Shen Muke thought for a long time without any ideas. He had no experience in this kind of thing. This was his knowledge blind spot.

So he decided to find someone with experience as a consultant!

……

"Agaritu wants to talk to me about something? Is he at the door now?"

At Shivaash's house, Mr. Olafur looked at Chester in surprise: "Haven't we already talked about this year's product quota? Is there anything else worthy of him making a trip in person?"

"Agaritu didn't say anything about the specific matters. He only said that he must [talk to Mr. Olafur in person]."

"This is really interesting. It seems that our guest encountered some unspeakable secrets, so he came to me in person to discuss it. Does this mean that our cooperative relationship is deepening?" Olafur joked with a smile: "Put our Guests, please come in and see what happened to him."

Chester led Shen Muke in, poured a cup of tea, and then slowly exited the door.

"Tell me, Mr. Agaritu, what is it that deserves your visit?"

"Mr. Olafur..." Shen Muke awkwardly picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Do you have any opinions on [what kind of gift to give to your lover]?"

Although Shen Muke had used very euphemistic words to describe his guilt and embarrassment, Olafur still couldn't help laughing.

He looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, as if it was his first day meeting Agaritu.

"No matter how powerful they are or how unique their vision is, young people are still young, young and ignorant."

Olafur looked at Shen Muke and was confused for a moment. How long has it been since he gave Elizabeth a gift?When is her birthday?The two have been married for many years and have three children, but they always focus on running the family and downplay the care of the family.Now the family business is booming, but I already owe too much to my wife and children...

The two men sat facing each other with their own thoughts, the steam of the scalding tea slowly rose, and the air gradually became hazy.

"If you can know the other party's preferences, then things will be much easier to handle..."

After withdrawing his thoughts, Olafur decided to formally discuss this issue with Shen Muke as a senior. He calmly and calmly found ideas for Shen Muke:

"The needs of the other party are also very important. It is best to have something that the other party uses frequently, so that whenever the other party uses that thing, they will think of the person who gave it to them..."

like?

Now Shen Muke is confident. After several years of getting along, Shen Muke still knows what Nian likes——

"She likes hot pot."

"???"

Olafur said don’t tease me, are you planning to give someone a pot?Is this a gift for your lover?

"What else?" Olafur asked tentatively.

"She also likes directing movies and writing scripts, but her skills are terrible; she also likes all kinds of weapons and equipment, but she should not be short of these things; she also likes blacksmithing and casting, but she doesn't need tools to do these; she I also like to play mahjong, although the two of us have never been able to get together..."

Shen Muke introduced Mr. Olafur in detail, and Olafur was stunned for a moment.

From Shen Muke's words, Olafur was sure that he was talking about Miss Nian, but he never knew that Miss Nian's hobbies were so extensive?

"What you said is very specific, but none of it is useful." Mr. Olafur held his forehead and smiled helplessly, "Gifts to your lover should give priority to [atmosphere]. Whether it is weapons or mahjong, These are not things to give to lovers, because these are too [vulgar].”

Shen Muke was at a loss. He could only think of so much at the same time, but unfortunately Mr. Olafur could not give any good advice.

But having said that, although I am indeed not good at giving gifts, I think I will have a responsibility in the coming year, right?

As a girl, what do you like wrongly?Like playing mahjong? !

Isn't this something only older ladies like?

Oh, by the way, Nian is already over 1000 years old.

That's fine.

Shen Muke and Olafur discussed for a while, but in the end they didn't come up with any good results. Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Muke bowed and said goodbye to Olafur.

Mr. Olafur has been sending Shen Muke to the gate. He chatted with Shen Muke all afternoon today and had many feelings. He felt that he should take more care of his family and leave many things at work to Chester. Anyway, he is now I don’t even have a family~

When leaving, Olafur reminded Shen Muke:

"If you really can't think of what to give, then give her something small that she can wear. This will make her more impressed."

Shen Muke thought about it carefully. He felt that this idea made sense and gave him some inspiration.

……

holy mountain

Before the ceremony, the Kjerag people always hold various activities. Some grass-stage groups will set up a stage to sing and dance, and some will set up stalls on the main streets, just like a real market.

Shen Muke and Nian had a sense of familiarity with this kind of activity.

Isn't this a temple fair held during the Chinese New Year?

Nian has a very good impression of this kind of event. Every time at this time, she can eat very delicious hot pot and see many interesting performances, which greatly enriches her material for writing movie scripts.

Shen Muke's impression of this kind of activity is not so good, because when he was a child, he often got lost when he went to temple fairs with his parents...

This large-scale gathering held by the Kjerag people usually starts at dusk in the afternoon and ends at dawn the next day. The reason for choosing this time period is also very interesting - legend has it that a long time ago, the night often represented coldness and death, and the people in the mountains and forests Wild beasts often enter human settlements to prey on humans.However, under the protection of Yeragond, the people of Snowland spent peaceful nights one after another.

Therefore, it is very symbolic to hold a large gathering at night and then party until dawn, which symbolizes that under the protection of Yeragond, Kjerag spent another safe and sound night.

But Shen Muke and Nian didn't care about this at all. The two of them had always spent time and time again in [temple fairs] having fun.

Nian is interested in all the entertainment items. She drags Shen Muke from stall to stall to enjoy the simplest happiness...

The night gradually deepened.

The Kjerag people set up tables, chairs and benches on both sides of the street, and the hot cheese fondue was sizzling.

On a cold winter night, nothing is more exciting than hot pot.

Choosing a secluded place to sit down, Shen Muke and Nian ordered a hot pot and ate quietly.

Snowflakes began to drift in the sky at some point, and the sky that was gray just now became clear. Snowflakes fell from the deep sky, flying in the air like elves, quietly dyeing everything around them silvery white.

The snow petals fell slowly, landing on Nian's cheeks that were reddened by the hot chili peppers, and melted on her crystal clear skin, like a piece of flawless jade.

Maybe Nian noticed something. She was especially quiet while eating today, and Shen Muke, who felt that the time was almost ripe, bit the bullet and took out the gift he had prepared.

"To you, Nian."

In his hand, he held an exquisite folding fan. The fan frame was made of ordinary bamboo, but the fan surface was carefully prepared by him.

Nian seemed a little surprised. She wiped her mouth to wipe away the oil from the corner of her mouth, then quickly grabbed the fan and unfolded it——

“There is more than enough every year”

On one side of the fan is the mountainous snow-capped mountains, and on the other side are the words "more than enough every year". In one corner of the fan, the author's name is written: Shen Muke.

"Because you have been holding a fan, I think you should be able to accept this gift... I wrote the words on the fan randomly because I really don't know what to write..." Shen Muke's words were a little reserved, "Painting is Kalan Holy Mountain, the level of painting is average, probably not as good as your sister, right? We have been here for so long and have never given you anything, so..."

"I like it very much." Nian Shudi closed the folding fan, her eyebrows were full of smiles, and she also had a bit of... shyness that Shen Muke had never seen before.

"Xiao Guo Guo..." Nian raised his body with his arms and leaned his whole body towards Shen Muke——

"I like you~"

what?

Shen Muke was stunned. What did Nian say?Didn't you hear clearly?

Nian looked at Shen Muke and this clumsy big boy. She stood up, walked gently to Shen Muke, and then put it in his ear to ensure that the words could be transmitted clearly: "Hehe... I said, I like it." You~"

For a moment, Shen Muke only felt that he was surrounded by a huge sense of happiness. He didn't know whether he should do anything to respond to Nian at this time, because his mind went blank, so that he couldn't even say a word now.

Shen Muke just stared at Nian blankly, looking at this fire-like person who haunted him in dreams.

From the day they met, Shen Muke had an ignorant longing for Nian, and in order to make this relationship blossom and bear fruit, he worked hard for seven years. Seven years later, he began to be afraid that his efforts would not be responded to. , because he is just a young man with some abilities, and he was the god of Great Yan thousands of years ago.

After drawing the fan, he thought about countless possibilities. Maybe Nianhui would happily accept it and continue chatting and laughing with him as usual; maybe Nianhui would reject his confession and leave Kjerag quietly. From then on, the two of them Just act like nothing happened.

Shen Muke thought about it for a long time, but he never thought that it was Nian who took the initiative to speak tonight.

This involved his blind spot, overloading his main brain, and suddenly he felt like his sanity was cleared.six ⑨ four ⑨ three ⑥ one ③ five

"Xiao Guo Guo, don't you want to eat?"

Ok?

Shen Muke came back from his endless thoughts and saw that Nian had sat back in his seat. If it weren't for the fan in her hand, Shen Muke would have thought that everything just happened was all in his imagination.

"Xiao Guo Guo, don't be formal. I just think we should explain everything clearly."

Nian explained to Shen Muke, "Our trip lasted for seven years. Over the years, I have always known your feelings for me. I know that you did it because you were afraid of being rejected by me."

It’s been delayed, but it doesn’t matter, let me help you solve this problem – I like you, I like the hot pot you make, I like playing with you, I like sliding down the snowy mountain with you on a sled... That’s it, I also hold the love between a man and a woman in the mortal world for you. Let’s make things clear so that you won’t be entangled anymore~”

"Yeah." Even a straight man like Shen Muke who didn't know how to fall in love was quite shocked by Nian's words.

This girl speaks so straightforwardly, doesn't she know how to be shy?

However, this is the New Year~it doesn’t matter!

……

The snow is still falling, and Kjerag has become even colder, but their hearts are warmer than ever...

Chapter 21 Invitations with ulterior motives

Tonight, Nian Nian's unexpected confession took the relationship between the two a step further, but the two of them were still in no hurry to start the "next step" of their physical relationship.

Although he had already expected Nian's situation, when he received her affirmative answer, Shen Muke was still visibly disappointed.

The annual body temperature is really 1400 degrees.

Although the two of them usually don't feel anything unusual when they get along, the temperature inside her body is really high.

Looking at the year, and then at himself, Shen Muke was scared, so he suppressed his restlessness for the time being.

Forget it, don’t rush now, there will still be a long time to come anyway, right?

calm!calm!

……

After eating hot pot, Nian took Shen Muke to play many activities. By the time the two of them returned to their residence, it was already very late.

At the door, the servants of Manzhuyuan in long robes have been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Agaritu, Miss Nian." The man bowed and saluted, "May Yeragonde light the way forward for you."

"Oh, it deserves to be said that it is Manzhuyuan? The blessings are so [professional]." Nian teased with a smile.

Shen Muke bowed slightly in return. The other party nodded and took out an invitation from his robe——

"Mr. Agaritu, Manzhu Academy sincerely invites you to participate in the sacred hunting ceremony the day after tomorrow, and you must be present."

Holy hunting ritual?

This Shen Muke understood that the first item of the Kjelag Snow Mountain Ceremony was the Holy Hunt, and then the three families presented tributes to Yelagund and prayed for prosperity in the next year.

In the original plot, what happened to Enxiodis at the Snow Mountain Ceremony was when he was praying for blessings.

Then the great elder drank a bowl of poisonous wine, kicked his legs, and became indifferent to the world.

Shen Muke asked doubtfully: "Don't outsiders never be invited to the Holy Mountain Ceremony? Why did Manzhu Academy invite me this year?"

He and Nian had stayed in Kjerag for seven years. They were outsiders in every grand ceremony. Why were they invited only this year?

"All of this is Yelagund's will." The other party explained: "As a guest of the Snow Realm, you have been recognized by the great Yelagund during your long experience, and he has shown mercy..."

"So, this is the will of the great Jeragond, and therefore Manjuin invites me to participate in the ceremony?"

"exactly."

Pure bullshit.

"Yeragond recognizes my [experience] and uses you to send me a message? Can't she tell me directly?" Shen Muke sneered in his heart.

He fully understood that this was not the will of Yeragond, but the will of the great elder. It was the great elder who set up a trap with certain ideas and then sent people to pull him into trouble.

So, should we accept it or not?

Shen Muke solemnly took the invitation with both hands to show his respect for Yelagund.

"Please tell the Holy Lady and the Great Elder that Agaritu accepts this mercy with excitement and trepidation, Yeragonde."

The other party nodded, clasped his hands and said, "Yeragonde is on top", and then left quickly.
