Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1600 Bread
"Shangluo didn't come?" Karin asked.

"He didn't come. He called us over and then left," Xiaohong said, eating her bread.

Although eating bread at this time is not quite appropriate, Shangluo invited them here specifically to eat bread, and they didn't even have time to drool. A mountain of bread was laid out there; although it tasted good, the quantity was simply outrageous.

"He ran off without even giving me a drink!" Little Red muttered angrily as he gnawed on his food. Didn't he know that inviting a dragon to dinner meant preparing both food and drink? "I came all this way thinking there would be something good to eat, but it turns out I'm being made a cleansing altar messenger!"

"So, you know him too?" Karin asked tentatively.

"Yeah, we're pretty close. We even took a shower together last time."

"?????"

"Is there a problem? Haven't you two showered together before?"

"Ah, this..."

"No? Then you and him don't seem to get along very well."

"Really???" Karin's face was full of question marks. "Does that mean that men and women taking showers together is a sign of a good relationship?"

"If you're not even willing to share public waters, what kind of friends are you?"

"Ah, this..." This was beyond Karin's comprehension. Even in public bathhouses, there are no mixed-gender baths. And this was clearly a private bathing arrangement.

She was stunned.

All sorts of strange and wonderful creatures have arrived here, including a panda. The only one who can be considered human is the "Little Red Girl" in front of us. She knows, after all, that she's not human.

However, the next second, a long tail stretched out from behind Little Red, hooked a few pieces of bread from the bread mountain and threw them into the air, then looked up and caught one of them.

Little Red opened her mouth wide, and a huge loaf of bread fell directly into it. With a single suck, she swallowed the bread, which was bigger than her face, without even chewing it, and three more fell to the ground.

She glanced at the bread on the ground, her face showing reluctance. But then she remembered Shangluo's words.
She looked at Karin: "Excuse me, could you do me a favor?"

"Please say."

"Could you help me throw this bread up into the air? I don't eat things that sink to the bottom."

"Huh?" Karin was increasingly unable to understand the little red figure in front of her. She only realized one thing: the other party seemed to be completely inhuman.

If I include myself, then none of us sitting here are human.

"I know what you're thinking. There are people here."

"Who? Who is a person?"

“That spirit puppet over there—yes, that’s a person. He was a patient of Shangluo’s before, and he recently received a new spirit puppet body, so he can return to the human world. Shangluo invited him to have a bite.”

"So the robot next to him is a person too?"

"That? Isn't that your bread robot? He's probably here to observe and learn."

"I...I don't understand at all. So you're not human, then what are you?"

“Dragon,” Xiao Hong replied. “I am currently the acting Dragon King of the Ryukyu Dragon Palace. I am acting on the orders of King Aozang to manage the various affairs of the East Sea Dragon Palace in Ryukyu. I was actually working just now, but since Shangluo asked me to come, I came. After all, we have bathed together, so we can be considered friends.”

"Taking a shower together, huh?" Karin covered her forehead, still finding it hard to accept that Shang Luo had actually gone this far with someone else. But thinking about it carefully, it seemed unlikely that they hadn't come to this.

"Can I ask?" she asked, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and anticipation. "Besides bathing with you, what else did he do?" "Like using me as a cushion?"

"ah????"

This game horrified Karin; she regretted asking the question, as it seemed to be a wondrous world she shouldn't have entered.

She kept her head down and continued to eat her bread in small bites. Before she knew it, she had eaten 20. Clearly, she wasn't human either.

"Hiccup~~" Longlong staggered along the way home.

It was almost dawn in Yingtian time when Longlong finally returned from there.

"Brother, how come you ate so much all at once?"

It was pitch black, and the two of them stopped acting. Longlong walked on his own two feet, with his sister supporting him. She had been supporting him like that when she helped him out of the phone booth.

"Today, I had a social engagement. Ah, I ate my fill. But it's great."

"What kind of social gathering involves eating bread? How much did you actually eat?"

Longlong raised her hand and gestured a number. In the pitch black, and given that pandas' eyesight is already poor, she couldn't make out the exact number:
"Oh my god, if you can't eat it, then don't eat it. I've been waiting for you until now, and I haven't even had a midnight snack. Tonight's amount is 20 jin (10 catties), looks like I'll need to eat some bamboo shoots and steamed cakes to fill my stomach. Ah, I'm so sleepy. So you were eating bread and didn't bring me any back?"

"How could we bring it back? This time, because we couldn't take the bread with us, they made us eat it. I ate five or six hundred of them!"

"You ate so much! Are you alright?"

"It's alright, it's alright, this is all for adult bears, you kids don't need to worry about it. Besides, I didn't eat much at all, most of it was eaten by those dragons, that red one, it ate 2400 of them."

"Can't you eat a little less?"

"It was the Heavenly Emperor who told me to eat it, I can't." He said, then vomited and covered his neck with his hand.

"What's wrong? Are you about to throw up? Don't throw up on the road! This is the Imperial Road, if you throw up I'll have to come out and wipe it up."

"I...I can't hold on any longer." He covered his mouth and ran two steps at a time, his short legs spinning like a top, to the side of Taiye Pond as fast as he could:
"Hah!!!"

With a single open mouth, a rainbow seemed to spill out, releasing a torrent of food: steamed buns, bread, bamboo shoots, corn, candy, and more. In the Taiye Pool, a turbid current slowly dispersed.

As Taiye Pond became polluted, a rainbow shot into the sky from the Dragon Palace in Ryukyu, disappearing without a trace.

Along with the bursting rainbow, there was also a dragon's roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Two hours later, the sun rose again, and a new day began. But something had changed, unseen by fate.

Han Xingzhi woke up in his home. As a hereditary member of the Imperial Guard, his family lived within the city walls of Yingtian. He didn't live on campus; he had to get up early for breakfast and then rush to school for the first class.

"Ah! I'm late!" He glanced at the time and was terrified.

It's already 8:15, and he needs to be at school by 9:20, leaving him only 12 minutes to wash up and eat!
"Mom! Why didn't you call me!"

"I called you. Why did you fall asleep again?"

"Is that so? Ah, it seems so."

"Go brush your teeth and have breakfast. I've served you some porridge and left it to cool. Today it's your favorite eight-treasure porridge, with three spoonfuls of sugar added."
