Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 283 Human World
Nezha sells lotus root powder and eight-treasure porridge.

On the cart was an old copper kettle, with steam coming out of its spout and the water always boiling. Nezha skillfully scooped a spoonful of lotus root powder from the bamboo tube and poured it into the blue and white porcelain bowl, then lifted the copper kettle and the boiling water poured down like a silver thread.

He shook his wrist lightly, and the water drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell accurately into the bowl. Then, he took out hawthorn slices, raisins, sesame seeds, melon seeds, peanuts, roses, etc. from a dozen small jars on the stall, and finally sprinkled a pinch of crystal white sugar.

The wooden spoon gently stirs the bowl, and the lotus root powder gradually becomes crystal clear, with various ingredients faintly visible in it.
A bowl of sweet and delicious lotus root powder and eight-treasure porridge is ready!

Shi Fei watched Nezha hand over a cup of lotus root powder and eight-treasure porridge and said, "50 yuan!"

"So expensive?" Shi Fei took the bowl and pointed to the wooden sign next to it that read "Small cup 4 yuan, large cup 6 yuan" and said, "That's not what you clearly marked the price on."

"Others are human, are you a human?" Nezha said confidently, "You are a noble outer-territorial demon, and only this cup of luxurious lotus root powder and eight-treasure porridge is worthy of you."

"...I've only seen people being killed, but you don't even let the demons go. Killing the demons, right?" Shi Fei spread his hands and said, "I don't have any money."

"Huh? You don't want to eat and dine for free?" Nezha looked at Shi Fei's rogue look and said as he rolled up his sleeves.

"Well, you buy me lotus root powder, and I'll buy you dinner later!" Shi Fei found Nezha's angry look quite interesting, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"A foot-long lobster and a king crab as big as a basin!" said Nezha.

"...You are quite good at eating!" Shi Fei said as he drank lotus root powder. The lotus root powder was smooth in the mouth, with the complex taste of various small ingredients.

Nezha said, "Of course. I've only seen other people eat it on my phone, but I haven't eaten it myself."

Shi Fei sat on the curb next to the cart and said, "You are a god in heaven after all, don't be so low."

"That's all in the past. A hero doesn't brag about his past achievements! I ate dragon liver and phoenix marrow back then!" Nezha waved his hand and said on the stool behind the cart: "In the end, I didn't even sell a few cups of lotus root powder in one night."

"Your lotus root powder tastes pretty good!" Shi Fei finished drinking the lotus root powder. As far as he could remember, he hadn't drunk it for many years.

"What does dragon liver and phoenix marrow taste like?" Shi Fei asked curiously.

"That's it! It doesn't taste very good!" Nezha shook his head and said, "It's not as good as my lotus root powder."

"You are really good at selling melons!" Shi Fei scolded with a smile: "Your lotus root powder tastes good, why doesn't anyone buy it?"

"Even good wine needs a bush! I'm considering whether to start a live broadcast, which will increase my popularity." Nezha frowned. He looked thirteen or fourteen years old, but acted like a little adult. "I heard from my second brother that Roaring Sky Dog is famous for doing live broadcasts."

"But my ID card says I'm only sixteen, not eighteen! I can't do a live broadcast!"

"Of course, you are a minor!" Shi Fei said, touching Nezha's head.

"Bullshit!" Nezha dodged Shi Fei's hand and said unconvincedly, "I have been a god in heaven for many years, how can I still be underage!"

"How should I know?" Shi Fei asked, "When did you come to the human world? Who issued you the ID card?"

“I don’t know.” Nezha’s eyes became a little blurry: “That day when the heaven collapsed, a beam of light swept over me, and I don’t know anymore.”

He recalled: "Until I came to the human world a year ago, there were no ID cards at that time." After a pause, he continued: "Later, a group of strange people appeared, led by Bigan, the God of Literature. He made an ID card for me and taught me how to live in the human world."

Shi Fei smiled and said, "How is life on earth?"

"Of course it's not good!" Nezha sighed and said, "If you don't make money, you won't have food to eat. You have to work hard every day to make a living." Shi Fei said thoughtfully, "So do you think it's better to be a god or a mortal?"

"Of course a mortal would be better!" Nezha answered without hesitation.

"Why?" Shi Fei was a little surprised. He thought Nezha would say that being a god is good.

"What's so good about being a god? I feel uncomfortable everywhere." Nezha said coldly, "Every day I'm either on duty or looking at that guy Li Tieta's face."

He sneered and said, "I wanted to beat him up a long time ago, but it turned out to be that old bastard Randeng again. If anything goes wrong, the Buddha and the Jade Emperor will protect him."

"It's not like in the human world. I can hit him if I want, and no one can protect him!" He said with a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes: "Although we have to make a living here, we are very free. There is a kind of freedom that is not available in heaven."

“I like being here!”

Everyone knows that he is the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, a famous god in heaven.

But he is the reincarnation of the "Lingzhuzi", the most precious treasure of the Chan Sect, and the pioneer of the Conferred God appointed by Yuanshi Tianzun. He was accepted as a disciple by Taiyi Zhenren since he was born.

From then on, every move will be under a big framework, just waiting for the Battle of the Gods to begin!
After the Battle of the Gods, he became a god in heaven again, but no one asked him.

Will he?

No one asked for his opinion, no one cared about his ideas, everything was framed and planned by others.

From beginning to end, his life was a tool in the hands of others.

In the Chan sect he was Lingzhuzi, in the Heavenly Palace he was Heavenly Palace's thug, and he never had a life of his own.

Especially when he was in heaven, his every move was supervised by the Heavenly Rules, the Jade Emperor, and Li Jing. When there was an enemy, he would be dragged out to fight, and when there was nothing else, Li Jing would be used to guard against him!

As a god, he has no freedom at all. He wants to do something, but he can't do anything!

People now behave differently. When they see something unfair, they take action. When they are hungry, they go out to eat. When they have no money, they set up a stall to sell lotus root powder. No one restrains them, plans them, or treats them as tools.

He can do what he wants according to his own ideas.

Nothing could make him more satisfied than this. Compared with this, magic power and mortals were secondary.

He has been a god for thousands of years, and finally he can be himself!
Shi Fei thought about his idea carefully and finally understood it!
"Congratulations! The bird in the cage is finally free!" Shi Fei said with a sigh.

Nezha said nothing, but just tilted his head 45 degrees, pretending to be deep, and felt that Shi Fei was a little pretentious.

"But it's really funny that a certain little brat started fighting everywhere after getting his freedom!" Shi Fei teased Nezha.

Nezha suddenly broke down and said, "I'm happy! No one else cares about the injustice in the world, but I will!"

"Okay, okay! You're awesome! Do you want to go to dinner?"

"Of course!"
